By the way I love you guys 💞💞💞💛💛💛
I did 7 days fast before. Day three. My body was detoxing. Horrible taste in my mouthm. Day 4 headache. Five was easy 6 showed my strength. 7 was hardest because I knew my fast was coming to an end. Benefits. Weight loss. Better skin. Blessings
Mayuresh Patil India yes indeed but Im talking about Ramsay’s time when Moses brought all the plagues and one of them was famine. Most people died within 3 days
I've done a 7 day water fast and honestly the biggest challenge is not hunger...it's falling asleep at night and trying not to think about food...meditation helps a lot
@@Soraaphrodite i was about 12 pounds lighter but i don't know how much of that was water weight and how much was fat loss...and also i'm a big guy ...also i was planning to go longer but i got a keto rash so i decided to stop because it was very itchy and not aesthetic...it took about 2 weeks for the rash to go away but left a weird colour that went away after a few months...
Same! My stomach didn't hurt, I didn't get acid reflux or anything, but I constantly thinking about food. It's honestly more hard mentally than physically.
I tried to go for 7 days and ended up breaking after only 4, crazy experience and I’ll try again to get 7 next time. The reason I quit was because I had work and school, and I couldn’t focus on my school. It really changed my perspective on food ever since, and I’m finally approaching the weight that I want to have.
Not trying to diminish what you are doing in any way shape or form but it doesn’t sound healthy to do fasting for that amount of time if its for weight loss. I would advice you to seek out a dietitian that can help you or at least offer some advice. Intermitten fasting and starving ar similar but not the same. I would like to add that i am happy for you that you have almost reached your goal weight. A hell of a thing losing weight, be proud of the journey!
@@svdmmeer2306 thank you! I guess I wasn’t clear in my post, but I’m actually not trying to lose weight but gain. The fast actually affected my weight gain because I have a different appreciation for food and i started finishing all of my meals since. I know it seems counterintuitive but its what’s happening to me
@@svdmmeer2306 I'd argue that it's pretty much the healthiest thing you could do for your body. 7 days might be a bit extreme to start with though. The human body can't starve as long as there's bodyfat to take from
@@Alex-nc7qb I'm still new to this fast thing and i want to start this month, my question is when fasting should i not eat anything and just drink water?
I know this video's a few years old but it did inspire to just do a 72 hour fast. It honestly went a lot better than I thought it would. The second day was definitely the hardest. And today, the final day, I felt like Matt did when he was on top of the roof. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the inspo to seek discomfort and do a really amazing personal challenge
Him counting the days to hours “tonight I’ll be hitting about 36hours.....” reminds me of when I’d be home alone detoxing from heroin, counting, counting and re-counting the hours until my 7th day. (Because that’s when “they” say the worst of withdrawals are over.) I’m so glad those days are over!! A little over 2 years sober today☺️ Good job to this guy!! I can’t imagine how difficult this was! And to anybody suffering, there is a better, beautiful life out there literally JUST WAITING FOR YOU!!! One day at a time. 😘😘
I just did a 5 day water fast - it was interesting, I wasn't hungry at all. It definitely brought up a lot of emotions - and because I'm someone who emotionally eats I'm so glad that I actually had to DEAL with the emotions and feelings it brought up rather than just using food as a coping mechanism/distraction.

I've been fasting every year (for Ramadan) since I was 7, and my sharpest mental attitude and focus peaks when I'm fasting. It took me a while to appreciate it, and now I look forward to it every year.
@@diogeneslantern18 Sounds like a pain. Imagine it is a warm summer day and you want to go out running because it is something you enjoy but you are dry fasting and will probably pass out if you do or at least be super thirsty rest of the day which affects work or school performance or whatever.
Italian college student here but fitness enthusiast too. Surviving on rice (and rice cakes), chicken, coffee and veggies spending on average 30-40€ per week
I'm currently on my final day of my 3 days water fast for religious purposes and I feel so comforted watching this and relating with you so much. Sleeping is really the hardest part...
I've fasted multiple days before, and the hardest thing to do is fighting the boredom that comes with all the free time you have now that your day is not consumed with preparing, planning for, or eating food!
Yep, definitely true. My longest (and most recent) fast has been a whole week and it definitely cleared up so much of my time! Peeing all day wasn’t that pleasant though.
@Supguy Well making a comment to this vid about the fact that not all have access to water and food is kind of a negative contribution and brings the party down....
I was Keto for about 3 months then did a 30 day water fast. Yes, 30 days! I drank 1 gallon a water a day and only water. I went from 249 pounds to 208 pounds (lost 41LBS). It can be done, the more fat you have the longer you can go. Once I got past day 4 it was easy. I broke the fast with bone broth. Then more broth and lean protein. Just keep yourself busy and if you have cravings drink water!
@@daizy8009 if you go back to eating carbs and junk food then yes you would gain weight but if u stick to healthy foods and only eat a small amount of cal u will be fine. also after you break your fast food doesn't taste that good since your not used to it so u eat less of it. after like a month though after your fast you can go back to eating the cal u need but don't load up on junk food and you won't gain the weight back.
@@eliscko8968 if you're doing keto whilst extended fasting and then want to switch to 100 carbs per day (after you break the fast) but continue to eat in calorie deficit, how do you look at that in terms of fat gain or looking like a spunge?
Its really not all that satisfying as most might think... It's like how you cant starve yourself before an eating competition cause it actually wont make you eat more food. Not eating or "fasting" will cause your stomach to start shrinking, to a certain extent. So after long periods of not eating, its not as if you will be able to just sit down and consume a big ass meal... in fact, its quite the opposite, after fasting for days straight, you'll only be able to consume small portions of food at a time until your stomach gets used to eating larger quantities of food as your stomach starts to expand back to its original size.
The hardest part is boredom. I stopped getting hungry quickly because I was already in ketosis but I get bored at times and want to eat out of habit…. Lost 100lbs this year so far though!
@Tyler Moses O WOW! Hats off to you. 100 lb. Amazing determination. That's around 7 stone!!! You must and should be truly proud of that achievement. You have given me NO excuse not to lose the 33lb I need off the slim me underneath the flab! Thank you. Inspirational is what you are, you ☆
Fasting is very humbling. Everyone needs to try it at some point in their life. It isn't just not eating, you start to grow mentally stronger and you tap into things in your mind that you haven't noticed before but should have.
Matt et al, despite our age differences, I want you to know how grateful I am for your encouragement to fast. I just plunged in & went cold turkey for three days (hey, I'm 72). Surprisingly, it wasn't a big problem other than feeling tired by the end of day two. I cut back some meds & drank a lot of liquids-- yes, even water! Thank youz guyz for your program. Chow.... I mean, Ciao!
Dont gotta be a teen to be in deppression. First time i ever experinced true depression was a year and a half ago. My gf of 8 years broke up with me. We have two kids together. Im 26 years old right now and the day she broke up with me i never new what deppression felt like. To this day i still miss her. And only get to see my kids every other weekend. We have a 7 year old and a 2 year old. Life is tough and i dived into drinking everyday. I mean it got bad i would wake up and the first thing i would do before anything is take a shot. I would go through a half bottle of vodka every day.
@@ThatOneWeirdChannell teens get depressed as they transition into adult hood because they are finally experiencing the world and don't know how to react. Teens often overestimate or 'overhype' their issues, and don't know how to handle their fast evolving life because of their lack of experience. They will learn one day.
I always did intermittent fasting as a teen, now 35, so it was easy for me to fast dry fasting,but not for extended periods, but only this year I began complete water fasting...the experience is addictive, it really does make you appreciate Soo many things we take for granted.i even spoke to my water and thanked it! Post some near death experiences to boot! I love his humour in this video...thanks for sharing! Holistic health and healing should be a universal goal...I now completed 5 day water fast post a 3 day one(January), to get the benefits of Autophagy. Next one, September.
I’m on day 4 of 5. My first fast ever, im super proud of myself. I thought I would give in, but surprisingly, im not hungry at all. I thought I’d have hunger pains or cravings, but I dont. It’s actually kinda scary, because I feel really great. Haha Day 1 and 2 were the hardest. Only because I get hunger headaches and then my body temperature got really hot on day 2. But after a quick google search of what that meant I kept going. By day 3, all of those symptoms were gone. it’s honestly been a great experience, I feel so in tune with myself.
Last meal - 1:58 24h without food - 2:30 48h without food - 4:20 60 hours in - 6:23 68h without food - 6:45 108 hours in - 8:54 117h without food - 9:55 First meal after fasting - 10:44
I love what you guys do but most of all, I admire the friendship you’ll share. I wish I had something like that in my life. I am 55yrs old and haven’t had a friendship like that for all my adult life.
During my week+ long fasts, I’ve had my last poop around day 3 - nothing even close to diarrhea. This is with only water, so people fasting with lemon juice, maple syrup, etc may have different results.
Food always tastes amazing after a fast I did a ten day fast years ago with aloe juice and I felt amazing light was brighter colours were more vivid and I lost ten pounds . I couldn’t drink coffee for two years it tasted foul
@@menacing5775 Fun fact, the longest fast recorded was by a really fat man who fasted for like 280 something days. As long as there is bodyfat to take energy from there's no problem. He did take vitamins and salt/electrolytes though which was crucial IMO
@@Alex-nc7qb I heart about this but I did not know the details about salt and vitamins, that's really interesting. Imagine the lose skin he must have gotten from that quick weight loss
Yeah mine sucked as well. I was changing my life and try to be a better human and I was getting made fun of. So I got rid of ALL of them. And surrounded myself with people who have the same goals and mentality. Basically UA-cam....
I’m on day 7 of a 7 day fast and couldn’t relate to this more. Although I found it was actually easier than I anticipated other than the difficult times like the day 2 headache and the time I didn’t drink enough water. 15 hours to go!!
@@blakgal13 day 7 was the easiest! I got a burst of energy on day 6 and I considered extending it to 10 days I lost 10 pounds I posted a full video with chapters for each day.
I did 10 days only water. Stayed away of cigarettes, sugar, fats, coffee, beer and everything. The first 4 days where like hell but on day 5 I started to realize how amazing a human body can compensate everything. Just reading books, drinking water and sleep whenever my body needs it. People thought I am 18 years old when I met them after my fastening but no I am in my mid 30s. Skin clear, no problems with irritations anymore, crystal clear mind and no need for domesticated drugs. It changed my perspective and I love it. Doing it once a year just to feel the same amazement and to see the benefits again.
After the third day, I don't want to eat. Did 6 days twice, 4 days several times, and three days routinely. Did this for about a year. lost weight and quit drinking. Been 25 years and I haven't had alcohol since. Haven't fasted since, either.
so inspiring, just started my fast yesterday and im 21 hours in now. this is exactly the motivation i needed to continue, i smiled so hard at the end when you ate food for the first time in 5 days!
I'm 5 days through my 10 day fast and came back to this video to keep motivating myself. Even though hunger is not much of a problem, I cook 3 meals per day for my family. Resistance to taste testing is the hardest part for me.
Meal prep a weeks worth of food for Family. Doesn't have to be microwaved. I know as foodies that won't fly at all. But we have a vacuum sealer for food. We can portion out meat....maybe even certain veggies. Make a carb thats mostly plain and can be adapted to any meal (rice, potatoes). Have some sauces or seasonings ready. A lot of the body building diets are boring af. I still eat chicken breast and a reasonable portion of naturally occurring carbs.....I can doctor up what I want....Greek, Mexican, Asian.....also grilled food is easy to do, tastes great, and doesn't require extra calories like pan frying. We have a smokeless indoor grill the kids can cook their own meat too.
Wauw thats really terrible. I never went to college but i can imagine the struggle. I hope you guys get your degree and have a great future! I have a lot of respect for you guys and pray that you will be able to enjoy every single day of your life with good health a full belly a happy family and a beautifull carreer. ❤️ Much love for you guys!
My mother used to do this and always told me, that she felt great after about 3-4 days. She said, as soon as her bowels were completely empty, the hunger would subside and she felt an amazing clarity in her head and renewed energy in her body. Ive never tried, but if correctly done, the benefits seem to be amazing.
Watching someone fasting while you're fasting is inspiration. I'm on my 5th day going into my 6th day (I'm also Muslim so tomorrow I'll be doing a dry fast meaning no food or water - as of now I'm on a water fast)
I once tried 2 days and I was soooo weak and irritable (I get HANGRY if I don't eat for 5 hours) so mad respect for getting through this. Loved especially when all these people were telling Matt about all the good things happening to him and his face remains sad from lack of food. haha
guy I love your outlook me and my husband roughed it camping and survived on the land in our recovery process it was the best thing we ever did. I've got to start again with nothing to reprogram your mind especially being an addict.
He looked like he was there in body and not spirit through those 5 days. Kudos for making it. I've done a 24 hour fast before, secret is to sleep for as long as possible 😂
Yes lol, eating is just about the mind. We've been living a lie this whole time. Your body doesn't actually need food guys, haven't you heard of this thing called air? Jeez can't believe its taken you this long. Waters bad too you know, try substituting water with deep breaths, fuels me through my day.
Fasting for 5 days isn't that hard if you are going through something in your life. Eating is the last thing on your mind. Edit: just so my notifications don't keep getting flooded. I am doing great, just a past experience that brought the thought into my mind. Hopefully the others that see this and relate can get better and get to eating again. Also, I so agree that different people react differently. Some may not eat for a while, some may over eat. Mental health is very serious and needs to be openly talked about so everyone can get the help they need.
Fluffy Kitten yep, different people react differently but hopefully you're doing well. And you should definitely treat yourself this holiday. Have a good reason to Chow down!
I agree with u, I wasn't in a depressed state just was sad and didn't feel like doing anything even eating I just layed in bed and moped at work for 4 days till one day I just felt better and started eating again
I was on trial for my life fighting two murder chargers and got put into solitary confinement the prosecutors used this tactic to try to get me to plea bargain. I went on a hunger strike didn’t eat or drink for 12 days. Only ate because they were going to force feed me. I lost 70lbs my time in solitary confinement. But my mental strength of knowing I can get through that. I was found not guilty at trial by the jury.
I did a 5 day fast to start my weight loss journey last January. I have lost 95 pounds since then. Mostly due to cutting sugar and intermittent fasting. I only do light cardio. This year I want to run a marathon and I really feel like I can do it. Everyone should try this... It changed my life for the better.
in 42 days i lost 30 pounds. i started my weight loss journey on January 15th all by cutting sugar and going for long walks. i also found whats best for me is to have sort of a cheat day every 1.5 weeks
This video was amazing! I’m just wrapping up the last 2 hrs of my 5 day journey and it’s been great! I didn’t get hungry once, i had moments of missing the act of eating but definitely non hunger. I think I’ll do this every 3 months. Another thing worth noting is I am diabetic and my blood sugar stayed between 85 and 140 the whole time, More towards the 100 mark tho. Without meds. I feel good and feel like I can easily do another 5 days right now but I’m not! I’m literally counting the hrs, mins, and seconds! Almost time to eat!
@@madisoncooper5675 my grandma would cry if I didn't eat. She gets upset if I don't eat the desserts she makes or if I don't eat the grapes she leaves over the weekend 😂
Funny but this is also actually a thing called a Breatharian and they believe they can absorb their nutrients from the sun and the universe, a few of them have died trying, give it a search it's absolute madness 😁
I have done a 7 day fast a couple of times before, day 3 is the hardest, after that it gets pretty easy, you don't feel hungry anymore but you start feeling weak. The coolest part is smelling the foods you didn't know have a smell, like the smell of rice and potatoes. I could literally identify all the ingredients being used when someone was cooking in the next room. I broke my seven day fast with rice and water soup, no seasonings. It was delicious.
Literally just got done eating 21 bagel bites. I was only planning on making 12, but thought, *welp* I might as well make all of them. And I ate them all. Human body _can_ withstand more than we think.
Because you need to eat healthy before even attempting a fast. If your body is toxic you gonna feel so shit trying a water fast. Only eat fruit and veg for a week before u fast
consistency man probably shouldn’t be watching videos like this if it’s going to trigger someones eating disorder. But videos like this don’t cause them initially, the issues are already there.
omgurheadsgone there would be little to no change at all especially in the pictures. The only weight he would lose would mostly be water weight. He would gain that back soon anyways
romblaster everyone’s different but i did a 113 hour fast last year and initially lost about 16lbs. Two weeks after the fast I had put on 4 lbs so my total weight loss was 12lbs and didn’t alter my diet much after.
Hey yes theory!! I don’t normally do this and it’s rare I’m sure that you guys read these things but my name is Evan elrod and I was shot and paralyzed on April 26th of this year, I’ve always been insanely active and always been in love with taking chances and getting out of my comfort zone, since being in a wheelchair i mildly sunk into an unsocial state of mind that I hated, but now after months of recovery I’ve started to get back to my old self! I watched your guys videos all thru out my time in the hospital and even if it sounds cliche, being in one of your guys videos would be a dream come true for me! If you guys ever would like to make something work with me I’m always down! Even a response would be amazing’! Much love.
Evan Elrod thank you for your story but if you think that these guys can change you your wrong not only they can but you can and the people around you try to live life as best you can and go forward never backwards get better and have a good life my dude.
Evan keep on pushing. I was in bad accident myself 3 years ago spent 3 months inside a hospital. My family and I not knowing if I would live, walk or talk again. But I can I am doing all those things. I have been in that slump and it's hard to lift yourself up but what continues to motivate me is that I have shown myself I am stronger than I gave myself credit. Remind myself what little steps I have made yesterday that I didn't or couldn't the days before. Have great friends or a support group you can talk to outside your family. For me I learned to love life and honestly cherish every moment I have with family and friends.
haley funky you’re AWESOME, I’ve been trying to look at the brighter sides of things. I flat lined 5 times in the hospital and I’m very lucky to still be alive and well breathing. If I met these guys I’d hope I get to spread positivity with them ! :)
I can verify everything that you went through while doing this. I did a 7 day fast, and I can attest that the first three days are the worst, without a doubt!! You never realize just how many food commercials are on the TV... it is excruciating. But, getting to the 4th day and beyond you feel that you could do another week. I didn't, but the thought came through my mind.
Do you take vitamins while you're fasting? Drink anything else other than water, like coffee, Gatorade, tea? I really wanna do this, any advice would be appreciated
@@andressswe you do realize Gatorade break your fast right? Regular Gatorade is soaked in Sugar zero calorie Gatorade has five Cal any form of consuming calories will break a fast you do understand that
@@andressswe Only water, coffee, tea, natural zero calorie stuff. Some people even say that caffeine will produce enzymes that stimulate the liver, which breaks a fast. But don't worry about that. Just try it and drink coffee, avoid the gatorade due to the sugar. If you must have something, eat an avocado or bulletproof coffee. Something to keep the ketones as the energy source
I was NPO (nothing by mouth, not even water) for 7 days while I was in the hospital for pancreatitis. The first hospital meal I had when I could eat is still the best meal I ever had.
Thanks for this guys... I am a regular intermittent faster. Occasionally I do three-day fasts to detox and reset the body. On day three, I always get plenty of mental clarity but am always excited to eat again. I want to push for a five-day fast, thanks for documenting the journey!
I’ve done the water fast twice this year. It’s completely manageable and teaches you great self-control. You get to use all the extra time that would usually be spent on planning meals, preparing, eating, or snacking food for something else. I would recommend everyone try it at least once in their life.
This guy made the number one mistake most people make when engaging in a long term fast.... he didn't take a multivitamin or at the very least he didn't consume potassium salt. The reason he started having heart palpitations and suffering muscle cramping and pain in his gut was his electrolyte ratios were becoming severely unbalanced. Drinking nothing but filtered water for 5 days can cause severe health complications, your body will run out of salt and potassium very quickly, and you can die from hyponatremia, aka Water poisoning. If nothing else, always put alittle pottasium salt into the water you are intending to drink in a total fast to prevent you accidentally triggering either a heart attack from potassium depletion or kidney failure from salt depletion.
@Islam and the life here after If the only thing you are consuming for 5 days is pure distilled water, yes it absolutely can kill you. While there is some potassium and sodium in the bones and teeth, it is not readily leeched into the blood stream like calcium and magnesium is. To sum up, the electro-chemical systems of your body runs on basically the same principle as a car battery. The salts present in your blood and tissues is the electrolyte that facilitates electrical signaling between high and low electrical potentials. As such, flushing that electrolyte out can cause your heart to malfunction, your kidneys can shut down, your nervous system to collapse, or my personal favorite, the cells of the brain can swell with fluid and literally crush your brain to death in a process called encephalitis. So to sum up, if fasting, either through a dash of salt into your water or take a multi vitamin and never ever fast on only distilled water!
@@markhill8150 I've worked in and around the health and medical field for well over a decade. And I've done my fair share of fastings, my longest being 7 days with no food, only water and tea, that one sucked and I now only fast for a maximum of 3 days when I need to prepare to go on keto. otherwise I practice intermittent fasting where I go 18-24 hours between meals every day, which I have been doing for years. So I know a thing or two about the subject.
@@Phoenixesper1 a couple of years ago i did 7 days on only water and black coffe. I also took vitamins. From what i can remember day 2 was hell, day 3 and onward was a breeze. Think i could have gone longer then 7days. But i missed the taste of food in the end.
@@daddelfisk The benefits of fasting falls rapidly after 5 days and you get diminishing returns from then on. Truth be told if your fasting you should perform some compound strength baring exercises, either with weights or simple body weight. squats, push ups and pull ups are ideal. The reason is that when your body enters ketosis, it will cheat and scavenge the body for carbs, predominately to feed the brain. after 3 days of total fasting virtually all blood, muscular and liver reserves of glucose are spent. So it will go for the only source it has left, break down muscle tissue into glucose. The only way to combat this is to weight train to encourage the production of HGH, human growth hormone, which will radically slow down the breakdown of muscle for glucose, as hgh alerts the liver to release repairing compounds for muscle rebuilding and halt catabalization. But after about 5-7 days, HGH starts to lose out to survival and slowly more and more muscle will be catabalized and broken down into sugars. And since the body doesn't care where the sugar comes from it breaks down all muscle simultaneously... including the heart. So be mindful and aware there are risks the longer one fasts but 5-7 days is in the realm of safe and effective.

@@svdmmeer2306 thank you! I guess I wasn’t clear in my post, but I’m actually not trying to lose weight but gain. The fast actually affected my weight gain because I have a different appreciation for food and i started finishing all of my meals since. I know it seems counterintuitive but its what’s happening to me
Me to bro😭😭😭😭
@@svdmmeer2306 I'd argue that it's pretty much the healthiest thing you could do for your body. 7 days might be a bit extreme to start with though. The human body can't starve as long as there's bodyfat to take from
@@Alex-nc7qb I'm still new to this fast thing and i want to start this month, my question is when fasting should i not eat anything and just drink water?

I know this video's a few years old but it did inspire to just do a 72 hour fast. It honestly went a lot better than I thought it would. The second day was definitely the hardest. And today, the final day, I felt like Matt did when he was on top of the roof. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the inspo to seek discomfort and do a really amazing personal challenge
Him counting the days to hours “tonight I’ll be hitting about 36hours.....” reminds me of when I’d be home alone detoxing from heroin, counting, counting and re-counting the hours until my 7th day. (Because that’s when “they” say the worst of withdrawals are over.) I’m so glad those days are over!! A little over 2 years sober today☺️ Good job to this guy!! I can’t imagine how difficult this was! And to anybody suffering, there is a better, beautiful life out there literally JUST WAITING FOR YOU!!! One day at a time. 😘😘
good job! keep it up

I just did a 5 day water fast - it was interesting, I wasn't hungry at all. It definitely brought up a lot of emotions - and because I'm someone who emotionally eats I'm so glad that I actually had to DEAL with the emotions and feelings it brought up rather than just using food as a coping mechanism/distraction.

I've been fasting every year (for Ramadan) since I was 7, and my sharpest mental attitude and focus peaks when I'm fasting. It took me a while to appreciate it, and now I look forward to it every year.
Why wait and not fast every day if you enjoy it?
it's toxic dry fasting muslims have to do, not healthy intermittent fasting
@@testtestsson4927 Ramadan fasting is _very_ different to something like OMAD. It's dry fasting and it is hectic.
@@diogeneslantern18 Sounds like a pain. Imagine it is a warm summer day and you want to go out running because it is something you enjoy but you are dry fasting and will probably pass out if you do or at least be super thirsty rest of the day which affects work or school performance or whatever.

@@timothysudmann3143 Not really, because now you have to urinate like 10 times a day cuz you have water for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack.

I was Keto for about 3 months then did a 30 day water fast. Yes, 30 days! I drank 1 gallon a water a day and only water. I went from 249 pounds to 208 pounds (lost 41LBS). It can be done, the more fat you have the longer you can go. Once I got past day 4 it was easy. I broke the fast with bone broth. Then more broth and lean protein. Just keep yourself busy and if you have cravings drink water!
Anthony, did you regain the weight right back after quitting the fast?
@@daizy8009 if you go back to eating carbs and junk food then yes you would gain weight but if u stick to healthy foods and only eat a small amount of cal u will be fine. also after you break your fast food doesn't taste that good since your not used to it so u eat less of it. after like a month though after your fast you can go back to eating the cal u need but don't load up on junk food and you won't gain the weight back.
@@eliscko8968 thanks, very helpful 🙂
@@eliscko8968 if you're doing keto whilst extended fasting and then want to switch to 100 carbs per day (after you break the fast) but continue to eat in calorie deficit, how do you look at that in terms of fat gain or looking like a spunge?
Good job!
I legit want to feel that satisfaction of eating after 5 days
It's actually not great. After your body gets used to not eating, after you eat, if you eat much, you'll get sick. You have to start small.
You cannot eat a shit ton after 5 days of not eating you can get in a food coma
It's not satisfaction. Everything tastes the same. Everything tastes like shit and makes you nauseous. You always feel like you need to throw up.
Daniel Kintigh I 100% agree with you bro
Its really not all that satisfying as most might think... It's like how you cant starve yourself before an eating competition cause it actually wont make you eat more food. Not eating or "fasting" will cause your stomach to start shrinking, to a certain extent. So after long periods of not eating, its not as if you will be able to just sit down and consume a big ass meal... in fact, its quite the opposite, after fasting for days straight, you'll only be able to consume small portions of food at a time until your stomach gets used to eating larger quantities of food as your stomach starts to expand back to its original size.

I did 10 days only water. Stayed away of cigarettes, sugar, fats, coffee, beer and everything. The first 4 days where like hell but on day 5 I started to realize how amazing a human body can compensate everything. Just reading books, drinking water and sleep whenever my body needs it. People thought I am 18 years old when I met them after my fastening but no I am in my mid 30s. Skin clear, no problems with irritations anymore, crystal clear mind and no need for domesticated drugs. It changed my perspective and I love it. Doing it once a year just to feel the same amazement and to see the benefits again.
After the third day, I don't want to eat. Did 6 days twice, 4 days several times, and three days routinely. Did this for about a year. lost weight and quit drinking. Been 25 years and I haven't had alcohol since. Haven't fasted since, either.

I'm 5 days through my 10 day fast and came back to this video to keep motivating myself. Even though hunger is not much of a problem, I cook 3 meals per day for my family. Resistance to taste testing is the hardest part for me.
Meal prep a weeks worth of food for Family. Doesn't have to be microwaved. I know as foodies that won't fly at all.
But we have a vacuum sealer for food. We can portion out meat....maybe even certain veggies. Make a carb thats mostly plain and can be adapted to any meal (rice, potatoes). Have some sauces or seasonings ready. A lot of the body building diets are boring af. I still eat chicken breast and a reasonable portion of naturally occurring carbs.....I can doctor up what I want....Greek, Mexican, Asian.....also grilled food is easy to do, tastes great, and doesn't require extra calories like pan frying. We have a smokeless indoor grill the kids can cook their own meat too.

Fasting for 5 days isn't that hard if you are going through something in your life. Eating is the last thing on your mind.
Edit: just so my notifications don't keep getting flooded. I am doing great, just a past experience that brought the thought into my mind. Hopefully the others that see this and relate can get better and get to eating again. Also, I so agree that different people react differently. Some may not eat for a while, some may over eat. Mental health is very serious and needs to be openly talked about so everyone can get the help they need.

It's not smart to deprive oneself of salts and electrolytes while your body switches through metabolism.
I have done a 7 day fast a couple of times before, day 3 is the hardest, after that it gets pretty easy, you don't feel hungry anymore but you start feeling weak. The coolest part is smelling the foods you didn't know have a smell, like the smell of rice and potatoes. I could literally identify all the ingredients being used when someone was cooking in the next room. I broke my seven day fast with rice and water soup, no seasonings. It was delicious.

Literally just got done eating 21 bagel bites. I was only planning on making 12, but thought, *welp* I might as well make all of them. And I ate them all. Human body _can_ withstand more than we think.

Omg do yours have cheese, sausage, and pepperoni because I’m eating those

Holy fuck, homie. We’re *twinsies!*
Fatass
I just found this channel this week and i am deeply moved with every video. Im all in as soon as i have money i want a seek discomfort merch.
I genuinely get dizzy if I miss a meal idk how you're mentally stable
Your a pussy.. thats why
@@Spankerdig1 douche
@@Spankerdig1 oohh look at this macho man
Because you need to eat healthy before even attempting a fast. If your body is toxic you gonna feel so shit trying a water fast. Only eat fruit and veg for a week before u fast
Its the sugar buddy
Before / after weight? And shoulda done before and after pictures too.
consistency man probably shouldn’t be watching videos like this if it’s going to trigger someones eating disorder. But videos like this don’t cause them initially, the issues are already there.
omgurheadsgone there would be little to no change at all especially in the pictures. The only weight he would lose would mostly be water weight. He would gain that back soon anyways
yeah waste of time about actual health/fitness parameters...
romblaster everyone’s different but i did a 113 hour fast last year and initially lost about 16lbs. Two weeks after the fast I had put on 4 lbs so my total weight loss was 12lbs and didn’t alter my diet much after.
I would say it was more about the mental before/after, rather than physical. The video wasn't about weight loss
Hey yes theory!! I don’t normally do this and it’s rare I’m sure that you guys read these things but my name is Evan elrod and I was shot and paralyzed on April 26th of this year, I’ve always been insanely active and always been in love with taking chances and getting out of my comfort zone, since being in a wheelchair i mildly sunk into an unsocial state of mind that I hated, but now after months of recovery I’ve started to get back to my old self! I watched your guys videos all thru out my time in the hospital and even if it sounds cliche, being in one of your guys videos would be a dream come true for me! If you guys ever would like to make something work with me I’m always down! Even a response would be amazing’! Much love.
Evan Elrod thank you for your story but if you think that these guys can change you your wrong not only they can but you can and the people around you try to live life as best you can and go forward never backwards get better and have a good life my dude.
Anthotron Peng thanks so much man. I’m glad I have people to give me positive vibes :)
Evan Elrod glad you are okay! what a story! thing comment struck me because my birthday is april 26 😨
Evan keep on pushing. I was in bad accident myself 3 years ago spent 3 months inside a hospital. My family and I not knowing if I would live, walk or talk again. But I can I am doing all those things. I have been in that slump and it's hard to lift yourself up but what continues to motivate me is that I have shown myself I am stronger than I gave myself credit. Remind myself what little steps I have made yesterday that I didn't or couldn't the days before. Have great friends or a support group you can talk to outside your family. For me I learned to love life and honestly cherish every moment I have with family and friends.
haley funky you’re AWESOME, I’ve been trying to look at the brighter sides of things. I flat lined 5 times in the hospital and I’m very lucky to still be alive and well breathing. If I met these guys I’d hope I get to spread positivity with them ! :)
I can verify everything that you went through while doing this. I did a 7 day fast, and I can attest that the first three days are the worst, without a doubt!! You never realize just how many food commercials are on the TV... it is excruciating. But, getting to the 4th day and beyond you feel that you could do another week. I didn't, but the thought came through my mind.
I didn’t eat for 2 hours once, hard times.
Lol
Wow
Never saw someone else with the titanfall logo haha
Lol i dont like anything so i basically get on cereal a day and its not healty i am trying my best to eat more
no sleep hmmmmm
meanwhile I´m sitting here eating cheetos
yPanda - what is your profile called. I see it everywhere
Give me some!
yPanda - SAME LMAOOO
I'm eating Cheetos too. 😂
Oh yeah yeah
I’m on day 3 I do this every 6 months, it truly is so powering and is almost like a reset button on your body. Great job 👏🏼
I’m considering trying it but is it a healthy thing to do it your body? Why do you do this every 6 months? Sorry I’m just really intrigued in this.
Do you take vitamins while you're fasting? Drink anything else other than water, like coffee, Gatorade, tea? I really wanna do this, any advice would be appreciated
@@andressswe you do realize Gatorade break your fast right? Regular Gatorade is soaked in Sugar zero calorie Gatorade has five Cal any form of consuming calories will break a fast you do understand that
@@simonjack9699 You do realize I was asking a question right? I was very clearly asking for advice and your attitude is unnecessarily rude
@@andressswe Only water, coffee, tea, natural zero calorie stuff. Some people even say that caffeine will produce enzymes that stimulate the liver, which breaks a fast. But don't worry about that. Just try it and drink coffee, avoid the gatorade due to the sugar. If you must have something, eat an avocado or bulletproof coffee. Something to keep the ketones as the energy source
I was NPO (nothing by mouth, not even water) for 7 days while I was in the hospital for pancreatitis. The first hospital meal I had when I could eat is still the best meal I ever had.
Thanks for this guys... I am a regular intermittent faster. Occasionally I do three-day fasts to detox and reset the body. On day three, I always get plenty of mental clarity but am always excited to eat again. I want to push for a five-day fast, thanks for documenting the journey!
Well dr. You dont detox on a fast.
Once I didn’t eat for 5-12 hours and I almost fainted
Shister Tea same
Pussyboi
Didn't eat for the whole day what u gunna do

mw ._.blahblahblah chen linong! love your pfp ;)
This is so relatable
My mom fasts 3 times a week
I’ve done the water fast twice this year. It’s completely manageable and teaches you great self-control. You get to use all the extra time that would usually be spent on planning meals, preparing, eating, or snacking food for something else. I would recommend everyone try it at least once in their life.
This guy made the number one mistake most people make when engaging in a long term fast.... he didn't take a multivitamin or at the very least he didn't consume potassium salt. The reason he started having heart palpitations and suffering muscle cramping and pain in his gut was his electrolyte ratios were becoming severely unbalanced. Drinking nothing but filtered water for 5 days can cause severe health complications, your body will run out of salt and potassium very quickly, and you can die from hyponatremia, aka Water poisoning. If nothing else, always put alittle pottasium salt into the water you are intending to drink in a total fast to prevent you accidentally triggering either a heart attack from potassium depletion or kidney failure from salt depletion.
@Islam and the life here after If the only thing you are consuming for 5 days is pure distilled water, yes it absolutely can kill you. While there is some potassium and sodium in the bones and teeth, it is not readily leeched into the blood stream like calcium and magnesium is. To sum up, the electro-chemical systems of your body runs on basically the same principle as a car battery. The salts present in your blood and tissues is the electrolyte that facilitates electrical signaling between high and low electrical potentials. As such, flushing that electrolyte out can cause your heart to malfunction, your kidneys can shut down, your nervous system to collapse, or my personal favorite, the cells of the brain can swell with fluid and literally crush your brain to death in a process called encephalitis. So to sum up, if fasting, either through a dash of salt into your water or take a multi vitamin and never ever fast on only distilled water!
@@Phoenixesper1 how are you such an expert on this? Genuinely asking.
@@markhill8150 I've worked in and around the health and medical field for well over a decade. And I've done my fair share of fastings, my longest being 7 days with no food, only water and tea, that one sucked and I now only fast for a maximum of 3 days when I need to prepare to go on keto. otherwise I practice intermittent fasting where I go 18-24 hours between meals every day, which I have been doing for years. So I know a thing or two about the subject.
@@Phoenixesper1 a couple of years ago i did 7 days on only water and black coffe. I also took vitamins. From what i can remember day 2 was hell, day 3 and onward was a breeze. Think i could have gone longer then 7days. But i missed the taste of food in the end.
@@daddelfisk The benefits of fasting falls rapidly after 5 days and you get diminishing returns from then on. Truth be told if your fasting you should perform some compound strength baring exercises, either with weights or simple body weight. squats, push ups and pull ups are ideal. The reason is that when your body enters ketosis, it will cheat and scavenge the body for carbs, predominately to feed the brain. after 3 days of total fasting virtually all blood, muscular and liver reserves of glucose are spent. So it will go for the only source it has left, break down muscle tissue into glucose. The only way to combat this is to weight train to encourage the production of HGH, human growth hormone, which will radically slow down the breakdown of muscle for glucose, as hgh alerts the liver to release repairing compounds for muscle rebuilding and halt catabalization. But after about 5-7 days, HGH starts to lose out to survival and slowly more and more muscle will be catabalized and broken down into sugars. And since the body doesn't care where the sugar comes from it breaks down all muscle simultaneously... including the heart. So be mindful and aware there are risks the longer one fasts but 5-7 days is in the realm of safe and effective.
“i’m essentially the king of the world... or i’m going insane. one of the two” 😂😂😂
Watching this on day 5 of my 7 day water fast. This is a different type of way to test mental toughness will get through it almost there!
SPOILER ALERT...
