Once did 5 days without food or water and was working travelling great distances to work n drippling chd off at a nabysiteer VERY FAR away from work etc. N church n more. Just a bit of chipped ice!!! Do not regret it. I was very young around 22 in perfect health!!!
Thank you for your realism! I'm currently on Day 10 of 30/40 day water fast. I'm not craving anything yet, except maybe wanting what I am serving my family. LOL. Thanks for the meal plan idea. I had already thought to break my fast with bone broth and slowly, slowly move up to eating keto. Plenty of veggies and salads. Without the alcohol, I'm sure to stay in Ketosis a little bit better. LOL. If I get past Day 26, it will be my longest fast. 😊😊 Thanks for the video. And I'm am so glad you didn't have to have surgery! Update: Well, It's Aug and I'm now 7 months from my 28-day water fast. I did well. Didn't crave food. My body did tell me time was up when I started tasting sweet water. Ended the fast with broth and then took 8 days to refeed. I had done a ton of research and the only consequence I didn't really think about was hair loss. The stress of the low calories had me dropping hair 2 months after I started eating again. Now my hair is thickening back up. For me, fasting is a great tool. I still love it. But I think in the future, I'm done with long fast (more than 10 days) unless God really calls me to it. I did this one for personal reasons. Thanks again for your informative video! I learned a lot and was able to incorporate it into my fast! God bless!
I’m gearing up to go 40 days for the first time! What is your fasting regimen? Like are you doing just plain water or adding electrolytes and minerals? I have some snake juice packets I’m planning on using. I’d love to hear your plan! I hope all is going well with your fast!
Hair loss is Parasites. They move up to your head for safety. They poop which stops follicle growth. Get rid of the parasites your hair grows back. Fasting helps & Fenbendazole etc.
Amanda, this was a very interesting video. You are such an inspiration and your weight loss story is amazing! Thank you for sharing. Also, you look very good. 😊
I've been fasting since my teens for religious reasons--anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks at a time. When i fast, i tend to cook a ton for others, (I enjoy watching them eat LOL) and now i watch youtube food videos. By the way: Great video. Thanks
For 29 days, I was deprived of food by others, with only tap water, no salt or vitamins. After release I continued to day 34, ie a total of 33 days not consuming any food, thpiygh I did drink water. Videos like this strike me as both interesting abd important to show people most do not need to eat. My only “voluntary” water fast longer than 2 days was an easy 12 day water fast allowing myself some NaCl. Re feeding syndrome like fasting each CAN BE FATAL, if one is quite lean to begin with. I was under 99 pounds when the 33day fast started, and under 80 pounds at the end. I nearly died eating again, despite consuming very little very carefully, offered intensive care in a hospital but dealng with the situation myself…. RFS did continue for many months. I’d lost an immense amount of muscle, but that’s not all lomg fasts do. It’s a good way to unalive yourself or to unalive someone in your control though there are penalties for the latter.
I've done 67 water only 3 day fasts since 11/2020. I do 2 every month. Once I did a 7 day water only fast in that time period too. I preferred the 3 day fast, so returned to them. It amazingly cured a long term, well since 2012, bad arthritis I had in my left hip, after breaking right ankle 2012. I continously got cortisone shots when ever allowed in that hip. Till I started regular 3 day just water fasts, 2 a month. The pain was like a 9. Down to a 2. Like a memory, a twinge tells me I used to have the issue. It amazed me. That & reading how it fixes diseased cells, all the benefits, only reason I stick to it faithfully. Believe me, I stick to nothing, specially if others notice & comment, ask me when next fast? I previously would be ready to quit any good habit if that happened. I hold on tight to 3 day just water fasting.
I didn’t eat for about 13 days with a couple of days after that I started to eat foods like watermelon, chicken soup, and liquids. I had covid pneumonia. I did shrink. But when I landed in the hospital I was marked as nutritional deprived. My main point is, that you can lose weight as you said. We eat too much food as it is or not so good food for us. I’m tired of the yo-yo dieting. But I get stuck and then there I go again. Step by step - and focused - I like that.
I also did a 17 day water fast and I agree, I felt amazing! Until I didn’t. I quit because I was feeling like the floor was about to fall from beneath me. I cleared this with my dr’s but only intended on 5 days, and I didn’t take any electrolytes. I also have a thyroid condition. The fasting really messed with my thyroid levels and after the fast I went into a deep depression and my TSH went from 6.0. So, if I were to do it again I would take electrolytes, get my thyroid panel tested as I’m going, and follow the soup to salad idea mentioned here. I can’t remember how I broke the fast. (This is just a heads up to anyone with thyroid issues of what to be aware of when long term fasting)
This extended fast that she did, she did it with very direct professional medical supervision. Everyone’s body and health conditions vary; this video should not be taken as a solution for everyone. She said this is what has been working for her, and anyone watching this should be mindful of that.
there is the day you wake to a euphoric floating sensation! I was like OMG! if this is fasting I will never eat AGAIN! lol It is such a freeing practice when thoughtfully done. The "knowing" where you been has such power...
@@itsno1duh Exactly. I try to describe it to people but its almost impossible. They have to experience. Its like every lie you have ever been told by the material world is completely stripped away. You dont NEED anything to survive in the moment. You dont need a fancy car, an important career, a trophy wife, a huge house....you just need oxygen and a little water. Its amazing. What is equally amazing is how fast all those fear based illusions come back when you start eating again!
Well, today is Day 35 of my extended fast, everything is possible people. Blessings. P.S. Finished with total of 63 Days. Also did another 40 Day, just finished. No Doctor supervision. Just a little motivation for you'll. Like I said, Everything is possible. 😉
Please do stop at 40 and take a week break and start again.....as per what I watched in other video it's not good to extend more than 40, but here I am telling an expert to not extend sorry for this ....I'm still wanting to start this but unable to ...I'll be starting in a week....need your suggestions and support Thank you
I've gone as far as five full days ..I've been through army boot camp and didn't need to summon as much discipline going through that as fasting five days ..but if you can do it you will feel invincible...a power you tap into..but be sure to train for a long fast ..start with just a day or two and build up...
@@luckybharadwaj A lot simpler then most think, you have to be determined , ignore destructions, drink plenty of good quality water, Day 3 is the hardest, then your body is getting used to not getting any food supply. Day 21 is the key day for me, I call it "breaking food seduction", after that nothing bothers me, been to few family party's, cook for my wife, etc. Will Power also plays a big roll. Good luck, you won't regret.
@@tonymers thank you so much.... I'm starting to cut few meals here and there and trying to shift to liquids slowly... Not forcing myself but trying to shift slowly to liquids.... Then I'll completely go to coconut water coz it has electrolytes...... I have started from today..... Hope I'll continue it and not be discouraged or distracted.... Thank you so much for your advice and courage...... My ex after 10 years of relationship cheated on me because I've gained weight...... Hope I'll soon go back to my old self and find a good man......
I went on a month water only fast for weight loss. Lost a lot of weight with no loose skin. Health completely did a 180. Had high blood pressure and was pre diabetic. Normalized everything and I'm good
@@kris5302 every other day take regular table salt, buy some magnesium pills, and buy a salt substitute I used no salt for my potassium took daily values every other day and had no issues. Some people won't need to take supplements others will. If I don't my legs get heavy like I weigh a ton 😂
I'm happy that your video was recommended. I'm doing a 40 Spiritual fast. I'm on day 18. I did 10 days juicing and then im doing 30 days of water. I quit smoking in February and wanted to get rid of all the toxins in my body. This is a time for my body to heal itself. ❤ Thank you, im going to do your soup suggestion when i break my fast.
Everyone should do an extended fast at least 3 days at least once. The health benefits are beyond crazy, and way more than just weight loss. I’m 43 and for years I felt tired, sluggish, no motivation and constant migraines. I had gastrointestinal issues that caused nausea every meal I ate, or I’d have colon spams, ouch! I also couldn’t lose weight and I didn’t eat enough to gain, but gain I did. I just jumped in not knowing anything and did a 7 day water fast. I felt like I was 20 again, the energy was crazy! Plus, my mental clarity was so clear and focused. I was super super happy, my emotional health was awesome. The best part, I lost 15lbs!
I fast for 3 days and then eat, repeat….it keeps the urges down, don’t give up my coffee w/heavy cream and I have sugar free jello as a dessert w/homemade whipped cream. Gave up the sugar! Gave up the carbs! I do eat fish, chicken & meat. I can pretty much tell the size of meat (4oz.) per serving w/fresh veggies and stir fried cauliflower w/spices. I love food….down from 185 to 130 in 4 months. I am still on a 800+ calorie diet and do not exceed 1000. My doctor, dentist and psychiatrist are all happy with my results 😊 NO going back. I’m a 66yo woman and 5’2, my cholesterol is down, no more pre-diabetes or taking anything but my B complex vitamins and C. I haven’t felt this good in sooooo many years! CHEERS 🎉 to everyone who is on the path to well living.
During lockdown I fasted but kept hydrated for 20 days, just for the challenge. I had no aim but to my surprise, I went from size 16 to size 12. That was 3 years ago. I'm back up to 14, but I'm happy with who I am. And knowing extended fasting is no big deal. From Ireland
I began alternate day fasting two weeks ago; am already down 16lbs. As an overweight 51yo woman it's been eye opening how little food I really need!! Going to attempt a 7-day water fast next week and excited to push myself. I have multiple sclerosis and am wheelchair shopping if I don't lose the weight so I literally have nothing to lose. THANKS FOR THIS INSPIRATION!
Jea also watch this UA-cam video in case it might help. ( In addition to fasting etc) Google this title exactly, DIAGNOSING AND TREATING VITAMIN B-12 DEFICIENCY"
@@debbiedebbie9473 HOLY SMOKES! I just finished it and sent it to my MS group of friends! This is amazing info and I'm neuro shopping bc mine is retiring. I'm going to ask for a full blood workup, specifically B-12. THANKS AGAIN!!!
@@keydillard I'm actually doing a prolonged fast this week! :) I did ADF for almost 3 weeks and I absolutely LOVE IT! I am over 20 lbs down now. Ofc I have more than 100lbs to lose so... But fasting is wonderful! What an amazing reset.
@@jenfield07 that's amazing! Keep at it! A year will pass before you know it and you'll be able to look back and see a big loss. You've inspired me to try fasting. It seems easier than constant meal prepping (less groceries too).
It is the most affordable diet out there! Just be sure to add salt and/or electrolytes to your water here & there if you exercise and/or live in a hot area where you sweat!
I am so glad I found your page I canceled my surgery last minute because I was too scared and wanted to try to lose weight I’m deff going to follow what you did!!! You are amazing!!!!
23 days of eating once a day veggies and meat only. Have lost 13.5lbs. I drink lemon water, coffee and instant coffee. So easy. So glad to hear how to keep weight off. Thank you.
This is helpful for me. I’m breastfeeding and a busy homeschool mom and as much as I want to fast I don’t think I’ll be able to mentally but this is a model that’s maybe doable for me so thanks for sharing!
I did my 1st 30 day water fast as a teenager for religious purposes. Dropped about 35lbs & gained it back the following month. U really do have to change ur lifestyle & eating habits to maintain loss.
I had to do a fast to just get a break from... food. I've heard people say that it's easier to quit drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes because you can just NOT take those things at all. But with food, you still have to eat. Day after day. Portion control, thinking about it, cooking it, smelling it. Social events are centered around food. And I was just sick of it all. After an initial crappy week, the cravings stopped and I got energy. I felt so damn liberated. My husband was deployed at the time and the kids were grown so I had the house to myself. Before I began I gutted the entire place of all food items. (Except dog and cat food) It was a pickle craving that broke that fast. Then meat. For the next three months I could not stop eating beef. I finally settled on the carnivore way of life and it's so natural for my body. Tomorrow I'm breaking a ten day fast and, although it was painless, I'm ready. I'll be enjoying a nice steak.
From 2019 I did a combo of KETO, Fasting, Omad and Carnivore diet. It never been so easy to loose weight like today because of the knowledge I gained through trial and error . I am in the same weight I was in my twenties. I admit it takes hard work and discipline but it is worth it.
@@ErinPowell4 You lose weight very fast on Carnivore but I was already at a healthy weight when I started it. It was more for health reasons and curiosity when I did it (as elimation diet). The combo of Keto, fasting and OMAD is the main one I used to lose the pesky 10kg. The bottom line is to get rid of carbs and sugar and to shake the system from time to time if you get stuck.
Seems like we have lived the same dietary life lol. I started in 2012 though. I'm still carnivore...not to lose weight but I just thrice on it. I do mostly OMAD naturally now. If I feel hungry earlier then I eat its not a big deal If I'm not hungry then I just don't eat. I'm not longer a slave to food. I can also easily maintain my weight and I'd I do get alittle crazy on a vacation or something then I can quickly recover.
@@devdawg22 Ahh.. vacations are my downfalls. However, getting straight back into it is the key. And you are right it's so liberating when you know you don't need to spend all day consuming food.
@@rayoflightgeneral7988 do you eat all 3 meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner with carnivore. I'm 56 female and am just struggling. Do I fast, do I eat OMAD, keto etc.
This was GREAT Amanda! In 2017 I began Paleo, dropped all processed foods and alcohol, and began losing a little fat. Next came keto, IF, carnivore,OMAD, and a little extended (3-5 day) fasting. So much improvement in health I could write a book on it! I can't see ever going back to the SAD way of eating.
I am on Day 3! I started searching for fasting videos to keep me motivated and focused on the goal! My total weight loss goal is 95 lbs. I've lost 10 pounds just by reducing stress. Now I am really jumping in! Excited to see what happens!
I’m actually on day 3 of a planned 10 day fast right now. I’m glad this popped up because I hadn’t really considered planning what I was going to eat to break my fast. I need to do that to avoid eating something not great or even too heavy coming out of it. Thanks for this on time video. 👏🏽
@gk don't do what @gk said. break the fast with the most easiest thing for your digestive system to digest: a high water content fruit like watermelon, cantaloupe or any other melon, ripe papaya, starfruit, maybe even tomatoes if you can handle the acid content and get organically grown varieties. dragonfruit is good too as it really helps to move that old matter, so it's maybe a good secondary fruit later during the breaking of the fast--since it contains less water than those mentioned earlier. (yellow dragonfruit is so 🔥 so good). water from the fruits is so much more hydrating to move that old fecal gut matter than any overboiled heated soup or eating an egg with yolk.
Depending on when you break fast, morning or afternoon I would say break it with something easy on your gut. I plan on breaking my fast, doing exactly what you are doing, I am 3.5 days in. I plan on breaking mine with yogurt and Manuka honey, or if it's in afternoon/evening a broth soup.
@@gk-mt3vy terrible advice. There is a UA-camr who broke his fast with raw egg and ended up in the hospital then he blamed the fast itself for his sickness 😂 fallacies 101
I’m on day 11 of a 21 day water fast. I did it with no prior planning. I don’t feel excellent honestly and I’m terrified to eat again! 😬 I found your channel while searching fasting. I feel like this video helped me a bit. Thanks.
@@DKC98 it has gone very smoothly. Tomorrow is actually day 21. I’m kind of nervous about what I will eat, but I’m still excited. My skin is so clear. I also lost 22 pounds. My mood is definitely better. I felt crappy the first 12 days, but around 13, I started getting my energy back, and the hunger was not as extreme. Thanks for asking.
I am day 1 of my fast! Your comment has motivated me ♡♡ I am trying to get to 190lbs then I'll refeed for a little and fast again to get to 170 until I reach 140 ♡
I just finished a 14 day water fast ending on August 28th. I had the same psychological motivation. I’m thrilled with the result. My compulsive eating has been very reduced. My coffee habit gone (And I found out I was really addicted to the sugar and the cream, not so much the coffee itself). My mood is very improved. Now I’m trying to keep my insulin levels low and eating a keto diet-2 meals a day. Not quite intermittent fasting but I might go to one meal a day. Thanks for sharing your experience. I don’t know anyone personally who would do the same thing:) I’ve been very encouraged by UA-cam testimonials.
Love the setting where you filmed this! I agree, we do a long fast and gain it back SO FAST. What you are saying about a strategy post fast is sooooo important. I’m going to follow you for tips to do weight loss correctly. Thank you!!!💓
It's day 7 for me. Still having diarrhea but today may have been the last day of that. I am doing great so far - not sure how long I will go. The longest fast I have ever done was 21 days and I didn't want to stop but a friend, who was also fasting, convinced me that we should stop, mostly because she was hungry 😂
@@smileinfinity9761 I fasted 12 days and lost about 12 pounds. I felt really good but I ended up eating again. I am beginning another fast tomorrow but this time I will be utilizing beef and chicken bullion and real bacon bits. The inflammation I have went away almost entirely during the fast.
Thank you for making this video. Even though I’ve lost a little over 100 lbs, I have more that I want to lose. I have been in a stall and can’t seem to get out of it. This has helped me realize that maybe an extended fast would help, and then using soups for several days to get back into the OMAD. It really is a “mental exercise“ - thank you for this . 🥰
@@Sarahizahhsum rubbish... LOW calories = slowed down metabolism, yes. NOT the same response from the body as NO calories. I'm 60, lost 150lbs, i eat ZERO carbs, and have done for years, plus i train lightly every day.
Listen...unless you fast for more than a week you can start right back with regular meals...i always end my fasts with a regular sized meal at the steakhouse no problems at all
I fasted once for 3 days. Had to be very inactive for the duration to persist at it. Also, had to avoid watching or reading anything that triggered strong emotion. Had breathtakingly clear and colorful mental images and dreams on the fast.. But - as i say - inactivity was essential for it to work. But 3 days only was what I could manage. I started to feel sad and deprived - like a little kid, really. So I started eating again. What I can manage on an ongoing basis is daily 17 hour fasting. That is watching that I am not over consuming and eating what I eat within a 7 hour timeframe. It is not difficult (for me) and a good chunk of the fasting time - i am asleep. Thank you so much for your inspiring and info packed videos, Amanda Rose!
I can totally relate to this.i lost 50 lbs when fasting then ate right back to what I did before. So I am going to change this time after I do the fast and one meal a day structure. Thank you for this
You can also eat a couple or three times a day but you should be mindful of what you're eating. Chips, soda, sweets, fast food, etc should be avoided obviously. Keto helps keep it off pretty well too.
Congratulations Amanda!!! What an awesome video!!! Great job!!! You're such an inspiration!!! Thanks sooo much for sharing your journey!!! Love it!!! 🥳🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏👏
Fasting is very spiritual. I did several days and the longer I went the less 'hungry' I was. Good for you - a true reset! I would highly recommend transitioning with bone broth into carnivore
The thing she didn't talk about is autophagy and stem cell production from extended fasting.. Which is the main reason I started looking into extended fasting.. And I'm doing the opposite of what she recommended.. I watch hells kitchen videos and cook for my girlfriend to desensitize myself of food.. Day 11 and its working wonderfully..
Years ago I was forced into a fast, ie... Had no food or money, my roommate was extremely food selfish, she would not share . Period. I would watch food network and look at food magazines and cookbooks. For whatever reason, to this day, if I'm hungry and feel like there's nothing to eat I do those things and also look at menus of restaurants online, before I know it my appetite is suppressed, or satisfied or whatever. Idk . But it works for me.
@@EatLikeABear I only made it to 24 days.. For no apparent reason my ankle started hurting like I rolled it.. Then the pain increased dramatically that night.. So I broke my fast to deal with that.. Might try again to hit 30 days again next year..
I did a 10 day fast under medical supervision. When she says she needed a "clean slate," i know just what she means. I went to a place called True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, CA, which is an amazing place. They call it clearing your palate. I wanted help getting off sugar, salt and fats. And the fast achieved all of that. They recommend getting off those before you arrive. But if i could have done that by myself i wouldnt be needing to go there, was my thought. Because of that decision to go cold turkey i did have a miserable second day. But it never got worse than that! I felt my last discomfort of hunger on the third day. After that, there was honestly no feeling of hunger. A gradually increasing feeling of less stamina, but no actual feeling of hunger discomfort. This is very common to long term fasting. They very gradually refed me over 4 days. This was more challenging than fasting. As Amanda says, the blissful flavors of in my case a cucumber juice, or vegetable broth eclipsed any possible pining for (horror of all horrors, a twinkie). I HIGHLY recommend an extended fast to kickstart a new life. I went there in pre-diabetes. Half way through my fast my blood glucose was down, my blood pressure was down, my arthritic inflamation was down. The dark, dark and disgusting days of last suppering my "last donut, last cookie, last hamburger, last pbutter m&ms , ETC." made me ill and brought me NO JOY. The contrast of two weeks off of all that bad food is the contrast between heaven and hell! The memory is helping me going forward one day at a time. I lost 20 lbs. Two weeks after that i had gained back 10 lbs. I made no changes and just kept going, but remember now I'm off sugar, off junk food, off fast food, and eating vastly more plant based foods. In another week I had lost that 10 lbs again. I am eating a ridiculously big salad every day, with a can of beans in it and some home made dressing. I eat something else about 3 hours later (an egg, ½ a sweet potato, etc) and then fast 16-18 hours. So not quite OMAD. I hear Amanda's voice in my ears over and over "I dont do moderation." And that is me. I go in big, too. I first heard of ELAB while isolating during my first bout with covid in 2020. Yes, it has taken me this long to get this far. i admitted i needed help, and True North was my saving grace. ( http:/healthpromoting.com ). I can't recommend them highly enough (i get no kick-back for sharing this, btw). If you just cant get it off the ground by yourself, they are the perfect solution. I understand that was all the easy part and now begins the "grind." Im here to thank Amanda for the part she has played in this that she doesn't even know about. Im thankful for sharing her success. Her books. Her videos, includung the one showing her skin wasn't crazy loose after her weight loss (which is a terror for us big girls). THANK YOU for your courage to show us the way forward and out of the maze. And for your endurance hanging in with us all the way through. ❤
Hi Velinda, I am afraid to go to True North because they are so anti salt. My mother had low sodium which appeared in lab tests. When my sodium gets low I get terrible headaches, sometimes leg cramps. How do I trust them? My MD who teaches the Paleo/ keto diet says there is no reason to restrict salt. I don't see the scientific evidence to support veganism either..
My daughters bought me a cruise, so I’m going to fast so I can look my best, I have 21 days, so wish me luck, I weigh 137, so it’s going to be a challenge, I have never fasted before
I started a huge shift in eating habits by having nothing but watered down green smoothies of spinach, lettuce and the like. I did it for almost three weeks and lost 20 lbs. That began a complete change in eating habits. Out went sugar, sugar substitutes rice, flour, gluten, all beverages but water, and eventually seed oils and excess carbs for an eventual 65 lb weight loss. It was over a few years because the changes in food were slow. The first things that went were sugar and wheat, the gateway foods to obesity. Instead of seed oils, I use 100% certified pure olive oil or butter for cooking.
The purpose for the higher self is to transmute the 7 vices into 7 virtues. Fasting is the basic approach to this, to improve autophagy internally and to reduce toxic garbage, to diminish toxic mindset, and to cultivate humility, benevolence, gratitude, self-control, love, patience, self-restraint and diligence. The results: a renewed spirit, body & mind.
@@iamtheiamwearealloneI broke on day 18 with a sausage muffin...had to emediatley go back to fasting..I got severe reseeding syndrome...its extremely painful and Grose...now I only will drink veggie juice for 1 day then salad and hot veggies..never want to go through reseeding syndrome ever agian.
@@Heavens-Humanaterian-Army well why’d you eat gluten sugar and seed oils ? I hear You heck of a learning curve. You can flush those plants toxins though. That’s pure trash
I didn't eat a thing for 7 days, except coffee with flavored creamer 2 or 3 times a day. I lost 15 pounds. The only problem was that when I did eat again, I was constipated very bad. I have not gained it back in 6 months now. Seems it reset my body weight. My body would fight to maintain my set body weight and would slow down metabolism if I decreased food. After 7 days fast, it reset my weight and again, no matter what, it wants to stay there. I plan another fast, only 5 days this time. I've tried many different things through the years but Fast is the only thing that worked.
Omg you’re so lucky! I fasted for 5 days and lost 8lbs but gained all back within 3 days of refeeding. How are you able to maintain the same weight after eating. Your body is basically what I want lol. Oh and about constipation you mentioned, you can take magnesium, it will help! Good luck.
Thank you for this video! I am freaking out because I just completed a 3 day juice fast juicing only green vegetables and a granny smith apple. It was great. I had no cravings and I wasn't hungry at all but I what Im freaking out about is that I also said what am I eating when I get off this and made a edamame, green pea and Kale soup that I said that Im eating for 3days. Im on day two of that and now I run across your video. This exactly what I needed to keep me motivated. This was such an encouragement for me. Thanks again and congratulations on maintaining. I have lost 50lbs and I want to loose another 50 lbs. Taking this step by step is definitely the way to go!!! Thanks!!!
I did 90 but was due to thoat surgery so wasnt planned but it did help me realize our bodies can live without food and water by the end of 90 days i started to get weak so i was trying soups and yogurt to began foods.
@@Rita-uy1uf Hey there. I honestly am torn with the duration of my fast. At first I went in thinking I’ll do a 14-day fast. But after watching a few UA-cam videos of men and women fasting for 30 days, I wondering if I could fast that long. My only concern are the fasting symptoms and how far my mind will go to play tricks on me lol. I put electrolytes in my water so that I’m not feeling week during the day and I don’t faint as much as others may have reported who have done strictly water with no salt. All-in-all, I’ll be satisfied with 14 days fasted but am now aiming for 30 days.
From a 60yo guy who recently lost 150 lbs after 30years of ever-increasing obesity... Like most doctors, you don't seem to make the foundation connection, which is fasting insulin level... If one has been fat for a long time, they'll be both insulin resistant and, also have high fasting insulin... There is NO withdrawal from the body's fat locker until fasting insulin is lowered... Body fat "set point" is also DIRECTLY corelated to, you guessed it, high fasting insulin... Fasting lowers blood glucose level which lowers fasting insulin, that's the main reason WHY fasting works. Converting the body back to being an "on demand" fat metabolism, as opposed to an "on supply" (force fed carbs to the point of out of control insulin) will normalise insulin and then, the body normalises so the fat just falls off. I break my fasts by eating FAT, because dietry fat does not provoke an insulin response.
This video has a different focus, in particular what to eat when it's time. If you have a meal model that works for you, then by all means, keep on doing it.
Congratulations. So happy for you. I am doing intermittent fasting and KETO. Starting with a colon cleanse helped me reduce cravings. I’ve learned is to avoid foods that spike insulin since that leads to cravings.
Timely message. I’m in day 4 of a 14 day fast after a year of carnivore with a seven month stall following a 70 pound loss. I’ve known I was switching from carnivore which kept me so hungry I couldn’t fast, but hadn’t decided what I was going to do. I’m thinking I’ll be eating like a bear, what we in the fasting community call OMAD-one meal a day. I like the huge salad option or cooked veggies.
Let us know how you do! And keep that protein in-muscle wasting is weight loss you don’t want! I appreciate you sharing this experience for us learning
I am on the carnivore diet (Beef, Bacon, Butter and Eggs), it is day 33 for me. I very quickly and naturally transitioned to OMAD - simply because I simply wasn't hungry in between 24 hour meals. I intend to start a 5 day water diet after this weekend purely for health benefits. I have lost about 20lbs and feel great. After my fast I will resume OMAD carnivore as a lifestyle - I love it.
I’m late to this but I’ve been on the 16/8 for going on four weeks and have lost 16 pounds I’m going to try the 16 days it’s fascinating to me THX for the inspiration❤
This could have been 3x as long w/ q+a . First, starts 8/31. Did you work through this? (When not lying on the couch?) Second, you eat a 1200 kc meal but need 1800kc. Do you then have a snack b/f your eating window closes? You could have really elaborated on the *thinking*. Maybe explained a bit that you have been trained to think and what thinking looks like- as opposed to ruminating, fantasizing etc. Another thing, you mood set point seems quite high. Was that always the case? Or would you say that generally you are happier now? And that’s just off the top of my head. There is a UA-camr called Allymcwowie who lost 180# eating keto, fell in love and gained 10# back, and showed how exactly she lost the regained 10#. She’s a teacher who was getting her masters during this time and I seriously thought this UA-cam stream over 3 months should have been been accepted as a foundation FOR her masters it was so clear and documented and implementable. And so is this. These are excellent contributions to the science of weight loss. Experience w/o data is not scientific but data w/o experience is useless. Wonderful presentation. Love it. And love how you have put yourself out there to help so many people. ❤
I did 44 hours by mistake. I was meaning to do a 24 hour but wasn’t thinking about my last meal having been the night before. 🤦♀️ I felt great by this morning so I kept going. I have been wanting to try a 40 day but want to be smart about it. I'm so glad i found this channel.
Did a 8 Day Water Fast to jumpstart my intermittent fasting regime w/Low to No Carb meals. I've lost 50 lbs. in 3 months 5/1/23-8/1/23. Couple of times I hit a brick wall for a week or so at "40 lbs. & 50lbs." and immediately went into 5 Day Water Fast both times to jumpstart. 60 yrs old, 6'-0" tall, 250 lbs. 5/1/23 to 198lbs 8/1/23. Goal?? around 183 lbs.
My first fast ever was the month of April. Like, the entire month. 30 days. I lost 40 pounds, after starting eating with Kettle and Fire bone broth, and getting on carnivore, I regained 5 pounds (colon got refilled) and haven't gained weight again. After 3 days, your body stops making the hunger hormone. What helped me was watching cooking shows on tv.
@@maggie7660yes! not eating is the best thing for our body. I just started 16:8 intermittent fasting, lost 17 pounds in 7 weeks. I eat meat fish bacon eggs, use butter and lard and coconut oil to cook with. No bread pasta white potatoes rice oatmeal. I am amazed at the weight loss. I eat between 11am and 7pm every day. In the last 4 months my longest fast was 40 hours, once.
Hey! Thank you for sharing. Your story is extremely inspiring. How much water did you drink? I am drinking half a gallon since I am sedentary, but do you suggest drinking more?
@AKIYIAKELLY kinda.. but don't take that..I use a powder brand called utlima they sell it at sprouts.. most brands will work just make sure no carbs or sugar
I love this. If I was single it would be easy. But as a society where food and alcohol bonds us it is hard to say no. Even with my partner it is the joy of having breakfast together or munching on a snack.
I did the first 36 hour fast that I’ve done in a while (like over a year), and literally had like 5 dreams about food. 😂 I wish I was kidding. I plan to do alternate day fasting for about two to four weeks.
I thought I was the only one who craved sardines when my body was in need of nutrients. I remember being severely low in Vitamin D and sardines in olive oil were my crave. It felt so nutritious and really filled my tank. Great job with your success! I wish you ongoing health maintenance.
I’m on Ozempic and doing OMAD and Keto. The weight is coming off painfully slow. Which tells me how insulin resistant and metabolically ill I have been. I’m about to add in light exercise. I’m down almost 30 lbs. High weight 277 lbs; now 249. Thinking of doing an extended fast. You are very inspiring. Thank you!!!
I have been doing various types of fasting investigating other options .. and I happened upon your video... ureka the next step for me. Thank you for all your personal helpful experiences! ❤❤❤
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 1 Corinthians 15:3 that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 🌍
You are amazing, thank you for helping people like me who been struggling with my weight. Thanks for all the details how to end the fast and that's the most important thing about fasting. I really appreciate you and happy New year to you and your family, I pray that God continue to bless us and give us good health and long life. from Liberia.
Sometimes I go fasting for 1 and a half day unintentionally because I am too lazy to cook, go outside to eat or even order online. I would like to try fasting for 7 days some time.
I fell into intermittent fasting by accident. Still don’t know what was going on, I didn’t feel sick, just completely lost appetite for about a week. I literally forced myself to eat a little something every other day. I’ve always been a healthy eater, I mean I love food! After this period I just started eating one meal a day and once in a while a small snack. Lost over 25 lbs and have maintained without a problem. I have hit a plateau and would love to another 10. Well, spring is on its way where I’ll be physically more active.
The sardine thing is interesting. I fasted 12 days during a hospital emergency, and then had tuna for my first meal on my last day there. Then when I got home there was an unopened bottle of extra virgin olive oil on the kitchen counter. I opened it and took a tiny swig. Yum.
Its all about mindset .....how strong is ur resolve......can one stick To the plan .......how strong is my social mindset....can I go to a family get together and stay on point ....and be happy or At peace with it....thanks for doing ur Blog keep it up
She lost weight on the sardines because they are packed in oil. Protein plus a fat equals weight loss. Carbs plus a fat equals weight gain. There is so much nutrition in meat and meat with a fat is very satiating and healing.
There is a huge difference between Deprivation/starvation and fasting for spiritual reasons. The first is very very hard. The 2nd is isn’t difficult if you are focused on the deep spiritual significance and purpose. Fasting more than 72 hrs has proven to reduce your metabolic rate.
God knows we all eat too much! Most of us are so blessed we’re obese. But what I don’t understand is what is the difference between this and anorexia? I’ve always heard anorexia is a mental disorder.
I would take that question to a professional, but a key sign in my personal case is that I still have a good bit of body fat and eat around my maintenance calories. I would eat more if I could get away with it!
The goal of fasting is for mental, physical and health benefits whereas an anorexic person is driven by the compulsion to eradicate body fat at the expense of their physical and mental health. So fasting could be done in a safe way or a dangerous way depending on the mindset of the person doing it, for example, I think it might be dangerous if someone has nutritional deficiencies that they are not addressing or if their body fat percentage is already extremely low.
Decades ago did a fast for 16 days… started out feeling like ending my life but after a week felt really great !! The fast actually saved my life !
Amazing 👍👍
Once did 5 days without food or water and was working travelling great distances to work n drippling chd off at a nabysiteer VERY FAR away from work etc. N church n more. Just a bit of chipped ice!!! Do not regret it. I was very young around 22 in perfect health!!!
F@@bonitahobbs2374
parasites and gut bacteria can do that to you, you probably starved a bunch off!
Thank you for your realism! I'm currently on Day 10 of 30/40 day water fast. I'm not craving anything yet, except maybe wanting what I am serving my family. LOL. Thanks for the meal plan idea. I had already thought to break my fast with bone broth and slowly, slowly move up to eating keto. Plenty of veggies and salads. Without the alcohol, I'm sure to stay in Ketosis a little bit better. LOL. If I get past Day 26, it will be my longest fast. 😊😊 Thanks for the video. And I'm am so glad you didn't have to have surgery!
Update: Well, It's Aug and I'm now 7 months from my 28-day water fast. I did well. Didn't crave food. My body did tell me time was up when I started tasting sweet water. Ended the fast with broth and then took 8 days to refeed. I had done a ton of research and the only consequence I didn't really think about was hair loss. The stress of the low calories had me dropping hair 2 months after I started eating again. Now my hair is thickening back up. For me, fasting is a great tool. I still love it. But I think in the future, I'm done with long fast (more than 10 days) unless God really calls me to it. I did this one for personal reasons.
Thanks again for your informative video! I learned a lot and was able to incorporate it into my fast! God bless!
I’m gearing up to go 40 days for the first time! What is your fasting regimen? Like are you doing just plain water or adding electrolytes and minerals? I have some snake juice packets I’m planning on using. I’d love to hear your plan! I hope all is going well with your fast!

Whew...i dont see how people fast that long...i prefer 3 to 5 day fasts and thats hard enough
Hair loss is Parasites. They move up to your head for safety. They poop which stops follicle growth. Get rid of the parasites your hair grows back. Fasting helps & Fenbendazole etc.
Amanda, this was a very interesting video. You are such an inspiration and your weight loss story is amazing! Thank you for sharing. Also, you look very good. 😊
I've been fasting since my teens for religious reasons--anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks at a time. When i fast, i tend to cook a ton for others, (I enjoy watching them eat LOL) and now i watch youtube food videos. By the way: Great video. Thanks
You are awesome btw. For finding a way to maintain it by watching vids or even a helper, it’s dope.
For 29 days, I was deprived of food by others, with only tap water, no salt or vitamins. After release I continued to day 34, ie a total of 33 days not consuming any food, thpiygh I did drink water. Videos like this strike me as both interesting abd important to show people most do not need to eat. My only “voluntary” water fast longer than 2 days was an easy 12 day water fast allowing myself some NaCl. Re feeding syndrome like fasting each CAN BE FATAL, if one is quite lean to begin with. I was under 99 pounds when the 33day fast started, and under 80 pounds at the end. I nearly died eating again, despite consuming very little very carefully, offered intensive care in a hospital but dealng with the situation myself…. RFS did continue for many months. I’d lost an immense amount of muscle, but that’s not all lomg fasts do. It’s a good way to unalive yourself or to unalive someone in your control though there are penalties for the latter.
I've done 67 water only 3 day fasts since 11/2020. I do 2 every month. Once I did a 7 day water only fast in that time period too. I preferred the 3 day fast, so returned to them. It amazingly cured a long term, well since 2012, bad arthritis I had in my left hip, after breaking right ankle 2012. I continously got cortisone shots when ever allowed in that hip. Till I started regular 3 day just water fasts, 2 a month. The pain was like a 9. Down to a 2. Like a memory, a twinge tells me I used to have the issue. It amazed me. That & reading how it fixes diseased cells, all the benefits, only reason I stick to it faithfully. Believe me, I stick to nothing, specially if others notice & comment, ask me when next fast? I previously would be ready to quit any good habit if that happened. I hold on tight to 3 day just water fasting.
love your energy!!!!!! many blessings to you, thank you so much for the insight!!!😊😊😊😊
Awesome story, congratulations!
I didn’t eat for about 13 days with a couple of days after that I started to eat foods like watermelon, chicken soup, and liquids. I had covid pneumonia. I did shrink. But when I landed in the hospital I was marked as nutritional deprived. My main point is, that you can lose weight as you said. We eat too much food as it is or not so good food for us. I’m tired of the yo-yo dieting. But I get stuck and then there I go again. Step by step - and focused - I like that.
I also did a 17 day water fast and I agree, I felt amazing! Until I didn’t. I quit because I was feeling like the floor was about to fall from beneath me. I cleared this with my dr’s but only intended on 5 days, and I didn’t take any electrolytes. I also have a thyroid condition. The fasting really messed with my thyroid levels and after the fast I went into a deep depression and my TSH went from 6.0. So, if I were to do it again I would take electrolytes, get my thyroid panel tested as I’m going, and follow the soup to salad idea mentioned here. I can’t remember how I broke the fast. (This is just a heads up to anyone with thyroid issues of what to be aware of when long term fasting)
Yes, the electrolytes are necessary!
Does an extended fast cause the body to enter starvation mode and save its stores? I'd like to know how this works.
No, it doesn’t.
This extended fast that she did, she did it with very direct professional medical supervision. Everyone’s body and health conditions vary; this video should not be taken as a solution for everyone. She said this is what has been working for her, and anyone watching this should be mindful of that.
The bigger u are the less dangerous it is..a prep time is suggested too .. basically eating only whole foods prior...n replenishing ur electrolytes
Educate yourself. Dr Sten Ekberg on UA-cam xxx
No, that’s a myth. People like to use that as an excuse. Look at shows on TV where they go 22 days with almost no food. No one fails to weight.
My cholesterol dropped more than half.
I went 13 days without food once. It was an incredible experience. I have never felt more spiritually connected.
there is the day you wake to a euphoric floating sensation! I was like OMG! if this is fasting I will never eat AGAIN! lol It is such a freeing practice when thoughtfully done. The "knowing" where you been has such power...
@@itsno1duh Exactly. I try to describe it to people but its almost impossible. They have to experience. Its like every lie you have ever been told by the material world is completely stripped away. You dont NEED anything to survive in the moment. You dont need a fancy car, an important career, a trophy wife, a huge house....you just need oxygen and a little water. Its amazing. What is equally amazing is how fast all those fear based illusions come back when you start eating again!
@@velveetaslingshot, how much weight did you loose?
@@itsno1duh😮😮
but did you take vitamins and sodium and magnesium during tne fast?
Well, today is Day 35 of my extended fast, everything is possible people. Blessings.
P.S. Finished with total of 63 Days. Also did another 40 Day, just finished. No Doctor supervision. Just a little motivation for you'll. Like I said, Everything is possible. 😉
Please do stop at 40 and take a week break and start again.....as per what I watched in other video it's not good to extend more than 40, but here I am telling an expert to not extend sorry for this ....I'm still wanting to start this but unable to ...I'll be starting in a week....need your suggestions and support
Thank you
impressive👏
I've gone as far as five full days ..I've been through army boot camp and didn't need to summon as much discipline going through that as fasting five days ..but if you can do it you will feel invincible...a power you tap into..but be sure to train for a long fast ..start with just a day or two and build up...
@@luckybharadwaj A lot simpler then most think, you have to be determined , ignore destructions, drink plenty of good quality water, Day 3 is the hardest, then your body is getting used to not getting any food supply.

I quit smoking in February and wanted to get rid of all the toxins in my body. This is a time for my body to heal itself. ❤ Thank you, im going to do your soup suggestion when i break my fast.
Awesome! Keep up a great work! Not a lot of people are dedicated and capable of self-discipline.
Are you allowed juicing during a religious fast?
how did it go? worth it?
Everyone should do an extended fast at least 3 days at least once. The health benefits are beyond crazy, and way more than just weight loss. I’m 43 and for years I felt tired, sluggish, no motivation and constant migraines. I had gastrointestinal issues that caused nausea every meal I ate, or I’d have colon spams, ouch! I also couldn’t lose weight and I didn’t eat enough to gain, but gain I did. I just jumped in not knowing anything and did a 7 day water fast. I felt like I was 20 again, the energy was crazy! Plus, my mental clarity was so clear and focused. I was super super happy, my emotional health was awesome. The best part, I lost 15lbs!
this comment!! I relate!!
How many days into the fast before you started feeling better?
(Past the point of things like nausea,headache, shakes, etc.)
Only water?
Thanks.... I'm gonna try
For sure!
Great job! Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, so it makes sense 👍🏻♥️💯
I mean, does it? He did it to go on a "vision quest", so if people don't have spiritual experiences while fasting, is it really the same thing?
I fast for 3 days and then eat, repeat….it keeps the urges down, don’t give up my coffee w/heavy cream and I have sugar free jello as a dessert w/homemade whipped cream. Gave up the sugar! Gave up the carbs! I do eat fish, chicken & meat. I can pretty much tell the size of meat (4oz.) per serving w/fresh veggies and stir fried cauliflower w/spices. I love food….down from 185 to 130 in 4 months. I am still on a 800+ calorie diet and do not exceed 1000. My doctor, dentist and psychiatrist are all happy with my results 😊 NO going back. I’m a 66yo woman and 5’2, my cholesterol is down, no more pre-diabetes or taking anything but my B complex vitamins and C. I haven’t felt this good in sooooo many years! CHEERS 🎉 to everyone who is on the path to well living.

I usually don’t have the patience for weight loss videos… but you are a fantastic storyteller!
Yes! She explained it so well.
During lockdown I fasted but kept hydrated for 20 days, just for the challenge. I had no aim but to my surprise, I went from size 16 to size 12. That was 3 years ago. I'm back up to 14, but I'm happy with who I am. And knowing extended fasting is no big deal. From Ireland

Just wanted to give an update. It's been 3 1/2 months doing one meal a day and I've lost 29 lbs and feeling great. Try it!
I did my 1st 30 day water fast as a teenager for religious purposes. Dropped about 35lbs & gained it back the following month. U really do have to change ur lifestyle & eating habits to maintain loss.
Yep! and you need a real plan and intention to do it. The value is in the follow-up from an extended fast
I had to do a fast to just get a break from... food. I've heard people say that it's easier to quit drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes because you can just NOT take those things at all. But with food, you still have to eat. Day after day. Portion control, thinking about it, cooking it, smelling it. Social events are centered around food.
And I was just sick of it all. After an initial crappy week, the cravings stopped and I got energy. I felt so damn liberated. My husband was deployed at the time and the kids were grown so I had the house to myself. Before I began I gutted the entire place of all food items. (Except dog and cat food)
It was a pickle craving that broke that fast. Then meat. For the next three months I could not stop eating beef.
I finally settled on the carnivore way of life and it's so natural for my body. Tomorrow I'm breaking a ten day fast and, although it was painless, I'm ready. I'll be enjoying a nice steak.
❤ carnivore! Lamb was my dinner
From 2019 I did a combo of KETO, Fasting, Omad and Carnivore diet. It never been so easy to loose weight like today because of the knowledge I gained through trial and error . I am in the same weight I was in my twenties. I admit it takes hard work and discipline but it is worth it.
What worked best for you?
@@ErinPowell4 You lose weight very fast on Carnivore but I was already at a healthy weight when I started it. It was more for health reasons and curiosity when I did it (as elimation diet). The combo of Keto, fasting and OMAD is the main one I used to lose the pesky 10kg. The bottom line is to get rid of carbs and sugar and to shake the system from time to time if you get stuck.
Seems like we have lived the same dietary life lol. I started in 2012 though. I'm still carnivore...not to lose weight but I just thrice on it. I do mostly OMAD naturally now. If I feel hungry earlier then I eat its not a big deal If I'm not hungry then I just don't eat. I'm not longer a slave to food. I can also easily maintain my weight and I'd I do get alittle crazy on a vacation or something then I can quickly recover.
@@devdawg22 Ahh.. vacations are my downfalls. However, getting straight back into it is the key. And you are right it's so liberating when you know you don't need to spend all day consuming food.

I’m actually on day 3 of a planned 10 day fast right now. I’m glad this popped up because I hadn’t really considered planning what I was going to eat to break my fast. I need to do that to avoid eating something not great or even too heavy coming out of it. Thanks for this on time video. 👏🏽
I would statt with an (raw) egg yolk
NO SUGARS, STARCHES!!!!
@gk don't do what @gk said. break the fast with the most easiest thing for your digestive system to digest: a high water content fruit like watermelon, cantaloupe or any other melon, ripe papaya, starfruit, maybe even tomatoes if you can handle the acid content and get organically grown varieties. dragonfruit is good too as it really helps to move that old matter, so it's maybe a good secondary fruit later during the breaking of the fast--since it contains less water than those mentioned earlier. (yellow dragonfruit is so 🔥 so good). water from the fruits is so much more hydrating to move that old fecal gut matter than any overboiled heated soup or eating an egg with yolk.
Depending on when you break fast, morning or afternoon I would say break it with something easy on your gut. I plan on breaking my fast, doing exactly what you are doing, I am 3.5 days in. I plan on breaking mine with yogurt and Manuka honey, or if it's in afternoon/evening a broth soup.

I am day 1 of my fast! Your comment has motivated me ♡♡ I am trying to get to 190lbs then I'll refeed for a little and fast again to get to 170 until I reach 140 ♡
@@officiallaura_cx awesome!!!! I’m so happy for you. I’m rooting for you. You’re going to love how you feel at the end.
cant u die if u don’t eat for 3 days
Here's more on psychology considerations with extended fasting: ua-cam.com/video/zF2W6HmEboM/v-deo.html
I just finished a 14 day water fast ending on August 28th. I had the same psychological motivation. I’m thrilled with the result. My compulsive eating has been very reduced. My coffee habit gone (And I found out I was really addicted to the sugar and the cream, not so much the coffee itself). My mood is very improved. Now I’m trying to keep my insulin levels low and eating a keto diet-2 meals a day. Not quite intermittent fasting but I might go to one meal a day. Thanks for sharing your experience. I don’t know anyone personally who would do the same thing:) I’ve been very encouraged by UA-cam testimonials.
Try black coffee... it's the sugar you put in it thats bad
How many kg you lose and did u gain again?
I’m on an extended fast right now and you’re on point with this, I think I’ll do just one meal a day post my extended fast
You are such an encouragement to me, girl! Thank you.
All or nothing.....you speak my language! Loved this video. A clean break from the past.....definitely a goal for me.
Love the setting where you filmed this! I agree, we do a long fast and gain it back SO FAST. What you are saying about a strategy post fast is sooooo important. I’m going to follow you for tips to do weight loss correctly. Thank you!!!💓
Heres how to keep your weight loss after a fast...just eat once a day anything you desire...you will keep the weight loss i promise
It's day 7 for me. Still having diarrhea but today may have been the last day of that. I am doing great so far - not sure how long I will go. The longest fast I have ever done was 21 days and I didn't want to stop but a friend, who was also fasting, convinced me that we should stop, mostly because she was hungry 😂
How much u lost ?
Take konjac fiber and no diarrhea
@@smileinfinity9761 I fasted 12 days and lost about 12 pounds. I felt really good but I ended up eating again. I am beginning another fast tomorrow but this time I will be utilizing beef and chicken bullion and real bacon bits.
The inflammation I have went away almost entirely during the fast.
@@smileinfinity9761 I just started a new fast, today is Day 4. How are you doing, are you fasting?
I was able to bend over to buckle my shoes this morning, that was awesome!! I started another fast last night and will eat again Saturday night.
Thank you for making this video. Even though I’ve lost a little over 100 lbs, I have more that I want to lose. I have been in a stall and can’t seem to get out of it. This has helped me realize that maybe an extended fast would help, and then using soups for several days to get back into the OMAD. It really is a “mental exercise“ - thank you for this . 🥰
Fasting leads to slowed down metabolism. Same with carb restriction.
@@Sarahizahhsum rubbish... LOW calories = slowed down metabolism, yes. NOT the same response from the body as NO calories.
I'm 60, lost 150lbs, i eat ZERO carbs, and have done for years, plus i train lightly every day.
@@i-am-that-what-i-am Amazing! Zero carbs is the answer!👍
@@Sarahizahhsum Not true. Restricted dieting slows the metabolism, not fasting. Not the same thing.
Listen...unless you fast for more than a week you can start right back with regular meals...i always end my fasts with a regular sized meal at the steakhouse no problems at all
I fasted once for 3 days. Had to be very inactive for the duration to persist at it. Also, had to avoid watching or reading anything that triggered strong emotion. Had breathtakingly clear and colorful mental images and dreams on the fast.. But - as i say - inactivity was essential for it to work. But 3 days only was what I could manage. I started to feel sad and deprived - like a little kid, really. So I started eating again. What I can manage on an ongoing basis is daily 17 hour fasting. That is watching that I am not over consuming and eating what I eat within a 7 hour timeframe. It is not difficult (for me) and a good chunk of the fasting time - i am asleep. Thank you so much for your inspiring and info packed videos, Amanda Rose!
Do you say inactive because you are too weak to do anything?
I can totally relate to this.i lost 50 lbs when fasting then ate right back to what I did before. So I am going to change this time after I do the fast and one meal a day structure. Thank you for this
It’s so challenging changing old eating habits. One meal a day can be a big help in making new habits.
You can also eat a couple or three times a day but you should be mindful of what you're eating. Chips, soda, sweets, fast food, etc should be avoided obviously. Keto helps keep it off pretty well too.
The mental aspect of fasting is REAL! I like your breakdown of your process post fasting. Great video. 16:00
Very inspiring. I love that you had so much support. I love fasting, but most people think you're crazy if you don't eat.
That's why you only tell your close family who live with you and nobody else
@@highlyfavoredMGI AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY 🤫
Congratulations Amanda!!! What an awesome video!!! Great job!!! You're such an inspiration!!! Thanks sooo much for sharing your journey!!! Love it!!! 🥳🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏👏
Fasting is very spiritual. I did several days and the longer I went the less 'hungry' I was. Good for you - a true reset! I would highly recommend transitioning with bone broth into carnivore
The thing she didn't talk about is autophagy and stem cell production from extended fasting.. Which is the main reason I started looking into extended fasting..
And I'm doing the opposite of what she recommended.. I watch hells kitchen videos and cook for my girlfriend to desensitize myself of food.. Day 11 and its working wonderfully..
That’s an interesting strategy. I think if you’re mindful about your purpose, that could work well. Report back!
Years ago I was forced into a fast, ie... Had no food or money, my roommate was extremely food selfish, she would not share . Period. I would watch food network and look at food magazines and cookbooks. For whatever reason, to this day, if I'm hungry and feel like there's nothing to eat I do those things and also look at menus of restaurants online, before I know it my appetite is suppressed, or satisfied or whatever. Idk . But it works for me.
@@EatLikeABear I only made it to 24 days.. For no apparent reason my ankle started hurting like I rolled it.. Then the pain increased dramatically that night.. So I broke my fast to deal with that.. Might try again to hit 30 days again next year..
@@jeanna7851 I know exactly what you mean. I do this a lot when I’m fasting and it works 😅
I did a 10 day fast under medical supervision. When she says she needed a "clean slate," i know just what she means. I went to a place called True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, CA, which is an amazing place. They call it clearing your palate.
I wanted help getting off sugar, salt and fats. And the fast achieved all of that. They recommend getting off those before you arrive. But if i could have done that by myself i wouldnt be needing to go there, was my thought.
Because of that decision to go cold turkey i did have a miserable second day. But it never got worse than that! I felt my last discomfort of hunger on the third day. After that, there was honestly no feeling of hunger. A gradually increasing feeling of less stamina, but no actual feeling of hunger discomfort. This is very common to long term fasting. They very gradually refed me over 4 days. This was more challenging than fasting.
As Amanda says, the blissful flavors of in my case a cucumber juice, or vegetable broth eclipsed any possible pining for (horror of all horrors, a twinkie). I HIGHLY recommend an extended fast to kickstart a new life. I went there in pre-diabetes. Half way through my fast my blood glucose was down, my blood pressure was down, my arthritic inflamation was down. The dark, dark and disgusting days of last suppering my "last donut, last cookie, last hamburger, last pbutter m&ms , ETC." made me ill and brought me NO JOY. The contrast of two weeks off of all that bad food is the contrast between heaven and hell! The memory is helping me going forward one day at a time. I lost 20 lbs. Two weeks after that i had gained back 10 lbs. I made no changes and just kept going, but remember now I'm off sugar, off junk food, off fast food, and eating vastly more plant based foods. In another week I had lost that 10 lbs again. I am eating a ridiculously big salad every day, with a can of beans in it and some home made dressing. I eat something else about 3 hours later (an egg, ½ a sweet potato, etc) and then fast 16-18 hours. So not quite OMAD. I hear Amanda's voice in my ears over and over "I dont do moderation." And that is me. I go in big, too. I first heard of ELAB while isolating during my first bout with covid in 2020. Yes, it has taken me this long to get this far. i admitted i needed help, and True North was my saving grace. ( http:/healthpromoting.com ). I can't recommend them highly enough (i get no kick-back for sharing this, btw). If you just cant get it off the ground by yourself, they are the perfect solution. I understand that was all the easy part and now begins the "grind." Im here to thank Amanda for the part she has played in this that she doesn't even know about. Im thankful for sharing her success. Her books. Her videos, includung the one showing her skin wasn't crazy loose after her weight loss (which is a terror for us big girls). THANK YOU for your courage to show us the way forward and out of the maze. And for your endurance hanging in with us all the way through. ❤
True North is awesome..but it's for people that have money 💰
Hi Velinda,
I am afraid to go to True North because they are so anti salt.
My mother had low sodium which appeared in lab tests. When my sodium gets low I get terrible headaches, sometimes leg cramps. How do I trust them?
My MD who teaches the Paleo/ keto diet says there is no reason to restrict salt. I don't see the scientific evidence to support veganism either..
My daughters bought me a cruise, so I’m going to fast so I can look my best, I have 21 days, so wish me luck, I weigh 137, so it’s going to be a challenge, I have never fasted before
I hate my body now
Ditch the salads and eat steak
I could listen to her talk for hours! She really pulls you in when she speaks about a topic wow. ❤
I started a huge shift in eating habits by having nothing but watered down green smoothies of spinach, lettuce and the like. I did it for almost three weeks and lost 20 lbs. That began a complete change in eating habits. Out went sugar, sugar substitutes rice, flour, gluten, all beverages but water, and eventually seed oils and excess carbs for an eventual 65 lb weight loss. It was over a few years because the changes in food were slow. The first things that went were sugar and wheat, the gateway foods to obesity. Instead of seed oils, I use 100% certified pure olive oil or butter for cooking.
I eat carnivore and fast
Me too
The purpose for the higher self is to transmute the 7 vices into 7 virtues.
Fasting is the basic approach to this, to improve autophagy internally and to reduce toxic garbage, to diminish toxic mindset, and to cultivate humility, benevolence, gratitude, self-control, love, patience, self-restraint and diligence.
The results: a renewed spirit, body & mind.
I’m glad you mentioned the “breaking the fast” so people can hear how to do it ! Thanks 😊
I fasted 45 days broke with steak 😂
@@iamtheiamwearealloneI broke on day 18 with a sausage muffin...had to emediatley go back to fasting..I got severe reseeding syndrome...its extremely painful and Grose...now I only will drink veggie juice for 1 day then salad and hot veggies..never want to go through reseeding syndrome ever agian.
@@Heavens-Humanaterian-Army well why’d you eat gluten sugar and seed oils ? I hear
You heck of a learning curve. You can flush those plants toxins though. That’s pure trash
I didn't eat a thing for 7 days, except coffee with flavored creamer 2 or 3 times a day. I lost 15 pounds. The only problem was that when I did eat again, I was constipated very bad. I have not gained it back in 6 months now. Seems it reset my body weight. My body would fight to maintain my set body weight and would slow down metabolism if I decreased food. After 7 days fast, it reset my weight and again, no matter what, it wants to stay there. I plan another fast, only 5 days this time. I've tried many different things through the years but Fast is the only thing that worked.
Omg you’re so lucky! I fasted for 5 days and lost 8lbs but gained all back within 3 days of refeeding. How are you able to maintain the same weight after eating. Your body is basically what I want lol. Oh and about constipation you mentioned, you can take magnesium, it will help! Good luck.
Thank you for this video! I am freaking out because I just completed a 3 day juice fast juicing only green vegetables and a granny smith apple. It was great. I had no cravings and I wasn't hungry at all but I what Im freaking out about is that I also said what am I eating when I get off this and made a edamame, green pea and Kale soup that I said that Im eating for 3days. Im on day two of that and now I run across your video. This exactly what I needed to keep me motivated. This was such an encouragement for me. Thanks again and congratulations on maintaining. I have lost 50lbs and I want to loose another 50 lbs. Taking this step by step is definitely the way to go!!! Thanks!!!
CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏🏾 💐 🥳
I did 90 but was due to thoat surgery so wasnt planned but it did help me realize our bodies can live without food and water by the end of 90 days i started to get weak so i was trying soups and yogurt to began foods.
Funny…I’m on day 9 of my water fast and I’m craving the anchovies that are in my cabinet 😅
How long do you plan to fast. Curious about starting an extended fast..
@@Rita-uy1uf Hey there. I honestly am torn with the duration of my fast. At first I went in thinking I’ll do a 14-day fast. But after watching a few UA-cam videos of men and women fasting for 30 days, I wondering if I could fast that long. My only concern are the fasting symptoms and how far my mind will go to play tricks on me lol. I put electrolytes in my water so that I’m not feeling week during the day and I don’t faint as much as others may have reported who have done strictly water with no salt. All-in-all, I’ll be satisfied with 14 days fasted but am now aiming for 30 days.
How are you doing now?
You may just need some salt
How it goes?
From a 60yo guy who recently lost 150 lbs after 30years of ever-increasing obesity...
Like most doctors, you don't seem to make the foundation connection, which is fasting insulin level...
If one has been fat for a long time, they'll be both insulin resistant and, also have high fasting insulin...
There is NO withdrawal from the body's fat locker until fasting insulin is lowered...
Body fat "set point" is also DIRECTLY corelated to, you guessed it, high fasting insulin...
Fasting lowers blood glucose level which lowers fasting insulin, that's the main reason WHY fasting works.
Converting the body back to being an "on demand" fat metabolism, as opposed to an "on supply" (force fed carbs to the point of out of control insulin) will normalise insulin and then, the body normalises so the fat just falls off.
I break my fasts by eating FAT, because dietry fat does not provoke an insulin response.
This video has a different focus, in particular what to eat when it's time. If you have a meal model that works for you, then by all means, keep on doing it.
Congratulations. So happy for you. I am doing intermittent fasting and KETO. Starting with a colon cleanse helped me reduce cravings. I’ve learned is to avoid foods that spike insulin since that leads to cravings.
Timely message. I’m in day 4 of a 14 day fast after a year of carnivore with a seven month stall following a 70 pound loss. I’ve known I was switching from carnivore which kept me so hungry I couldn’t fast, but hadn’t decided what I was going to do. I’m thinking I’ll be eating like a bear, what we in the fasting community call OMAD-one meal a day. I like the huge salad option or cooked veggies.
Let us know how you do! And keep that protein in-muscle wasting is weight loss you don’t want! I appreciate you sharing this experience for us learning
I am on the carnivore diet (Beef, Bacon, Butter and Eggs), it is day 33 for me. I very quickly and naturally transitioned to OMAD - simply because I simply wasn't hungry in between 24 hour meals. I intend to start a 5 day water diet after this weekend purely for health benefits. I have lost about 20lbs and feel great. After my fast I will resume OMAD carnivore as a lifestyle - I love it.
So you didn't eat any vegetables
No, what for?
Ld the vegetables do any arm?
I’m late to this but I’ve been on the 16/8 for going on four weeks and have lost 16 pounds I’m going to try the 16 days it’s fascinating to me THX for the inspiration❤
This could have been 3x as long w/ q+a .
First, starts 8/31. Did you work through this? (When not lying on the couch?)
Second, you eat a 1200 kc meal but need 1800kc. Do you then have a snack b/f your eating window closes?
You could have really elaborated on the *thinking*. Maybe explained a bit that you have been trained to think and what thinking looks like- as opposed to ruminating, fantasizing etc. Another thing, you mood set point seems quite high. Was that always the case? Or would you say that generally you are happier now?
And that’s just off the top of my head.
There is a UA-camr called Allymcwowie who lost 180# eating keto, fell in love and gained 10# back, and showed how exactly she lost the regained 10#. She’s a teacher who was getting her masters during this time and I seriously thought this UA-cam stream over 3 months should have been been accepted as a foundation FOR her masters it was so clear and documented and implementable.
And so is this. These are excellent contributions to the science of weight loss. Experience w/o data is not scientific but data w/o experience is useless.
Wonderful presentation. Love it. And love how you have put yourself out there to help so many people. ❤
So entertaining you are. Very animated! Thanks for your videos! You’re an inspiration!!!
Your storytelling skills are on point. I can listen to you all day 😘😘😘
I am on day 26 of my water fast Amanda!
I did 44 hours by mistake. I was meaning to do a 24 hour but wasn’t thinking about my last meal having been the night before. 🤦♀️ I felt great by this morning so I kept going. I have been wanting to try a 40 day but want to be smart about it. I'm so glad i found this channel.
Did a 8 Day Water Fast to jumpstart my intermittent fasting regime w/Low to No Carb meals. I've lost 50 lbs. in 3 months 5/1/23-8/1/23. Couple of times I hit a brick wall for a week or so at "40 lbs. & 50lbs." and immediately went into 5 Day Water Fast both times to jumpstart. 60 yrs old, 6'-0" tall, 250 lbs. 5/1/23 to 198lbs 8/1/23. Goal?? around 183 lbs.
My first fast ever was the month of April. Like, the entire month. 30 days. I lost 40 pounds, after starting eating with Kettle and Fire bone broth, and getting on carnivore, I regained 5 pounds (colon got refilled) and haven't gained weight again. After 3 days, your body stops making the hunger hormone. What helped me was watching cooking shows on tv.
Wow!! You lost 40 pounds in 30 days
I never knew not eating was so healthy
@@maggie7660yes! not eating is the best thing for our body. I just started 16:8 intermittent fasting, lost 17 pounds in 7 weeks. I eat meat fish bacon eggs, use butter and lard and coconut oil to cook with. No bread pasta white potatoes rice oatmeal. I am amazed at the weight loss. I eat between 11am and 7pm every day. In the last 4 months my longest fast was 40 hours, once.
Yesss!! I know it’s odd but when I fast watching cooking videos and other people eat help me get through the fast lol
After three days of fasting I'm still hungry. I was hungry all through it. My ketones are through the roof but it is miserable. So tired of water.
The insulin sensitivity is so great plus the effect on leptin and Ghrelin. Things taste so much sweeter after a fast.
You have such an entertaining way to talk, and it's full of good information and encouragement. Thanks for this wonderful video! 💜
Hey! Thank you for sharing. Your story is extremely inspiring. How much water did you drink? I am drinking half a gallon since I am sedentary, but do you suggest drinking more?
Ideal amount is 30ml water for 1kg body weight
You drink half your weight in ounces of water. So if you weigh 140 lbs. you drink 70 ounces of water a day.
Your strategy is what I thought would work but never tested it. I am now on a 21 day water fast and will break it as you suggested..
I get such Horrible headaches when I go without eatting. 😱
Do you use electrolytes?
@@Rita-uy1uf Hello...
No I never have.
Is this like Gatorade and Power Aid?
@AKIYIAKELLY kinda.. but don't take that..I use a powder brand called utlima they sell it at sprouts.. most brands will work just make sure no carbs or sugar

In my family Twinkie means vagina. Just saying 🤔😂
I love this. If I was single it would be easy. But as a society where food and alcohol bonds us it is hard to say no. Even with my partner it is the joy of having breakfast together or munching on a snack.
You guys should fast together! I believe that would bring you guys closer than ever
Thanks Amanda helpful video. Curious what was in your soup?
I did the first 36 hour fast that I’ve done in a while (like over a year), and literally had like 5 dreams about food. 😂 I wish I was kidding. I plan to do alternate day fasting for about two to four weeks.
I thought I was the only one who craved sardines when my body was in need of nutrients. I remember being severely low in Vitamin D and sardines in olive oil were my crave. It felt so nutritious and really filled my tank. Great job with your success! I wish you ongoing health maintenance.
Sardines are high in Calcium,which over 50s are supposed to have over a 1000mg daily.
I KNOW sardines are great, but just the thought of them makes me cringe. Wish I could get over that.
@@kathygann7632 I hear you. I do the skinless/boneless and found that sometimes it really grosses me out too. Ha!

I really appreciate you and happy New year to you and your family, I pray that God continue to bless us and give us good health and long life. from Liberia.
Sometimes I go fasting for 1 and a half day unintentionally because I am too lazy to cook, go outside to eat or even order online. I would like to try fasting for 7 days some time.
I fell into intermittent fasting by accident. Still don’t know what was going on, I didn’t feel sick, just completely lost appetite for about a week. I literally forced myself to eat a little something every other day. I’ve always been a healthy eater, I mean I love food! After this period I just started eating one meal a day and once in a while a small snack.
Lost over 25 lbs and have maintained without a problem. I have hit a plateau and would love to another 10. Well, spring is on its way where I’ll be physically more active.
When I plateau on keto omad , a three day fast breaks the plateau.
You are an excellent story teller!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I agree. Most videos are boring and I can't get through them
Day 9 of my 30 day waterfast, may entend it to 50days. I have 15.7kg to lose.
The sardine thing is interesting. I fasted 12 days during a hospital emergency, and then had tuna for my first meal on my last day there. Then when I got home there was an unopened bottle of extra virgin olive oil on the kitchen counter. I opened it and took a tiny swig. Yum.
I fast for the FAT loss…weight is so arbitrary…fast for how incredibly wonderful I feel
Your videos are always interesting and inspiring. Thank you for all you do.
A note to add to my comment below: I'm averaging 1/2 a pound a day losing weight since May 1st 2023.

She lost weight on the sardines because they are packed in oil. Protein plus a fat equals weight loss. Carbs plus a fat equals weight gain. There is so much nutrition in meat and meat with a fat is very satiating and healing.
Thank you for this info and sharing your experiences!
There is a huge difference between
Deprivation/starvation and fasting for spiritual reasons. The first is very very hard. The 2nd is isn’t difficult if you are focused on the deep spiritual significance and purpose.
Fasting more than 72 hrs has proven to reduce your metabolic rate.
God knows we all eat too much! Most of us are so blessed we’re obese. But what I don’t understand is what is the difference between this and anorexia? I’ve always heard anorexia is a mental disorder.
I would take that question to a professional, but a key sign in my personal case is that I still have a good bit of body fat and eat around my maintenance calories. I would eat more if I could get away with it!
The goal of fasting is for mental, physical and health benefits whereas an anorexic person is driven by the compulsion to eradicate body fat at the expense of their physical and mental health. So fasting could be done in a safe way or a dangerous way depending on the mindset of the person doing it, for example, I think it might be dangerous if someone has nutritional deficiencies that they are not addressing or if their body fat percentage is already extremely low.
