      Hello Sadhguru . I was watching on you tube about fasting with Dr Jason Fung and Dr Pradip Jamnadas. I was motivated to do it . Normally if I don’t eat I passed out. But no I was wrong. Firstly I started with twice a day meal then one meal a day then 48 hrs then 3 days fasting recently. I felt amazing. I thought I couldn’t do it but I did. Self control and self discipline is the essence. I decided to do it for my own health sake as I have cancer. And everyday I listen to Sadhguru . He keeps me going in life . Thank you.

      Yes, I did 24 hr fast for every day , meaning - eat only after 24hrs , no meals or snacks or juices in between 0 to 24th hr . I did this for 20- 30 days ,
      my exp is : I could think clearly ,
      calm, relaxed,
      speech and clarity of opinion or statement made in meetings was articulate.

      It takes energy to digest food and some would say that this is wasting our energy. Foods that are easy to digest and support the body heal, the rest do damage and are hard on the body and bring toxins. Higher intelligence says we would live much longer if we didn't waste our body's energy on digestion.

I didn't lift weights at the gym because it's kinda useless as you aren't getting a lot of protein. I just ran 3 miles every other day of the week at the gym. I lost 30lbs in 2 months and didn't suffer one bit. Drinking a gallon of water a day is very important. Adding a small pinch of salt to it every morning.

    I have been having one meal a day from last one month, results are amazing and improving my health conditions. Once in a week, I am completely on Fruit diet and that's helping me more. I am much more energetic with loads of stamina and helping me remain active and alert. Request everyone to start more with fruits on empty stomach and slowly go on increasing the fruit content by skipping your breakfast then evening meal. But do this gradually as our body is not so habitual. Then as per your body's capacity go on increasing the intermittent fasting which is minimum 8 hours gap between meals. You may go up to 18 hours gradually and steadily. Keep on experimenting as per your body's need. As Sadhguru said that Hunger will reduce your energy and Empty stomach will keep you active and alert. We must be able to identify this nature of our body. Avoid any drastic change. All the best.👍

    I have fasted for more than 40 years, almost my entire life and I can tell you that I perform every one of my physical tasks, as well as I did as a young teen. I don’t base my life around fool, and that is not to say that I don’t like good tasting food but I eat nutrient dense food and I use a couple of supplements that I just personally like and there you have it

    Summary of the video -
    1. Four processes - Ingestion, digestion, assimilation, and excretion.
    2. Ingestion is continuously happening but digestion and excretion are not as efficient as ingestion.
    3. Unlike most of our body functions, ingestion should be voluntary, but we have made the ingestion process compulsive.
    4. Simply denying food and water can cause damage to the system, we must follow certain practices to support fasting.
    5. Our body’s energy doesn’t only come from food, it comes from air, sunlight, and water.
    6. In yogic science, 60-70 percent of energy should come from sunlight, air, and water if we want to keep our body well.
    7. If you drink any liquid along with your food, the acids that are necessary for the digestive process will get diluted.
    8. In the yogic culture, food shouldn’t stay in the stomach for more than 2.5 hours, it must go into other parts.
    9. In a month, one or two times we must go on lighter food, maybe water, lemon, or a little bit of honey-laced water. We can also do fruit fasting.
    10. The whole idea is to give the digestive process a break so that the other parts of the body can function well and excrete.
