In this video, we’re going to talk about fasting for liver health. Is fasting good for the liver?
Intermittent fasting is very good for the liver. The liver is one of the only organs that can completely regenerate if you have at least 25% of your liver left. If you look down and you have a gut, chances are you have a fatty liver.
When you do a fast for 18+ hours, you can:
• Reverse a fatty liver (the fat on the liver can be used as fuel)
• Reduce an enlarged liver
• Lower liver enzymes (lower inflammation)
• Improve fibrosis
• Stimulate autophagy
The key is keeping your insulin low. If you’re overweight, chances are you have high insulin. If you’re a diabetic, you especially have high insulin. Fasting can greatly improve insulin levels.
When you eat, you’re stimulating insulin. In the presence of insulin:
• You can’t release fat from the liver
• You can’t burn fat
• You have inflammation
*Intermittent fasting is essential to help with fatty liver disease.
If you have a fatty liver, you may also want to try:
1. Taking choline
2. Taking apple cider vinegar

I've been *DE-LIVER-ED* from high insulin through IF . Thanks Dr. Berg!!!
Ha good one Jume, & very true. Take care. ❤🙂🐶
Good one!
I had moderate fatty liver, I started 16/8 Intermittent Fasting and after 3.5 months, went to the liver clinic and my fatty liver was completely back to normal. It absolutely works.
Same here.
I fast 30 days of Ramadan from 5am to 7pm
No eat no drink
Got some inflamation and got pain in liver
First day hurt during fasting
After mannn beatifull all my body feels amazing
My body tells my brain fast all your life
@@Pajtim2023 no stomach ulcers? ime fastin today
What were your symptoms
@@Truerealism747 i didn't actually have any. That's what they say about the liver... it's fine until it's not. Can still function with fatty liver, but you are closer to it not functioning
Fasting is also really good for the gut! Not just giving the digestion a break but also increasing beneficial microbes and stimulating SCFA production, as well as, reducing inflammation.
That's what I ment! Keep it up haha ;D
But don't overdo it. If you fast for weeks (only water) then your microbes will die and getting digestion to start up again is slow.
@@petersteenkamp right and ended up eating more and bloated.
It's basically good for all your organs. why would we energize and heal the most during our sleep? Exactly :)
@@petersteenkamp Do you mean not eating anything at all for weeks or doing IF for weeks?
This man is SIMPLY A BLESSING!!
Agreed!! 10000%👍👍
🙏
mzmekanette Love 1 million percent!
I've started Intermittent fasting 22/2 everyday. I feel amazing and broke my weightloss stall.
How do you eat for two hours in a row? .°/
@@Freekniggers I eat once and just use the rest of the time to drink coffee or maybe Gatorade. It takes getting used to
@@bellacortez doesn't Gatorade contain unhealthy ingredients? Yes!
Yes, I am doing this on most days. I look and feel great.
Everybody should be thaught these things since kindergarden. It would be a better world.
@Asura Khan no need to make fun of him. We all know what he means anyway
Exactly what I think, everybody in the world needs this kind of education.
@Asura Khan i am sorry english is my fourth language.
Thanks anyway.
Learning something useful would take time away from indoctrination.
Daily IF has changed my life substantially for the better. I’m much leaner and healthier. Thanks Dr. Berg!
He’s absolutely right. I was told I have fatty liver from alcohol abuse. I’ve been doing IF since beginning of September and my gut is significantly reduced. I know because people comment on it. I also sleep and feel much better and have increased energy.
Did you do keto as well?
How is your blood work now?
I agree Dr. berg, I fasted for 26 days and my life gets better my energy levels was amazing and I slept so well. Yes fasting is good the hardest part was the first 3to 5 days after that I dont even want to eat . The other amazing thing about fasting is clear mind and I start eating less. Thanks again Dr. Berg.
@Genet Asefa 100% correct. My 2nd-3 or 4th was tough. I was weak, a bit dizzy. Then, I began to add sea salt and/or electrolytes. I even nibble on sea salt throughout the day.
26 days?! 😲 is that really possible
@@Zamirys18 Absolutely. There are people who have fasted more than 100, 120 and more days.
Martin Aabrink it is possible, like I said the hardest part was the first 3 to 5 days. Try it and let me know how far you can go ,who knows you may do more than I did. " you have no idea how far you can fly, until you spread your wings "good luck.
Genet Asefa I’ve done 9 days. I started losing my hair badly. Since then I learned that peri menopausal women should not do the hard core fasting. I don’t know for sure if it was the fasting, because it could’ve also been a dramatic weight loss that came with keto, OMAD and long fasts. Chicken and egg type thing. But I am a strong believer in fasting!
All I know is that after 13 months of 22/2 and
What eating window do you use for your 22/2?
@@HathyHetha I’m completely One Meal A Day (OMAD) now and eat between 17:00-18:00. My 22/2 was 17:00-19:00. That suits my lifestyle the best and more importantly, has been a sustainable time to eat for me.
I have a 6-pack and I found out last year that I have a fatty liver! I used to drink lots of soda and eat sugar all the time. Thought I was fine because I’m in shape.
after 20 hours, i feel energized and my mind becomes alert on omad diet. if i cheat and eat something substantial, i get super drowsy. been one meal a day for 1 year
How much weight have you lost
@@maryunger6787 same. I am not fat at all but I lost 5kg after doing this in 3 months. I feel healthier as well. My facial skin is much better
Does it heal skin issues like acne?
@holoholo haole no ka oi, how did you manage to get into one meal a day rhythm? I can’t survive more than 2 hours without munching on something.
@@user-uh5wr2fv1m Drink apple cider vinegar. It will help lower hunger. Also you are not having enough oil (have grassfed butter, MCT oil). You are basically insulin resistant. Check more videos of Dr.berg
I discovered that if you are already in ketosis, that the first few days of an extended fast is not all that hard. The hardest part of the extended fast was breaking the habit of visiting the kitchen when I was bored. I also discovered that fasting is far easier than calorie restriction. I can maintain fasting whereas I never could maintain a calorie restriction diet.
Wow you are extremely helpful and such a soothing voice.
I've eaten omad for most of my life because I was obese from age 4 following a virus, I'm now 56. The real difference for me was switching to keto, absolutely no sugar or grain based foods, I lost a lot of inflammatory weight, it also fixes all the Fibro symptoms if I fast for 3 entire days, hard but worth it for the inflammation and pain relief!
I feel so much debted to you Dr.Berg. I've been learning many things for my overall health. Recently i purchased your massage tool in order to cure my neck pain and it works fantastic.
Would you please send me a link for that tool? Thanks 🙏🏻
@@miloskostadinovic7215 You can find it on his website.
I been on OMAD and feel amazing! Super energized and mentally sharp. OMAD is amazing once mastered
Thats why the Bible says to fast and pray without ceasing
we overlook it..sad i kno
100 pounds, big belly gone from intermittent fasting. 😃
How long did you do IF for?
@@rachellazarus1855 Do it for the rest of your life. Simple
@@rachellazarus1855 it is a lifestyle
@@Kube_Dog She did not ask how long it took the person to lose 100lbs? Where in the question do you see her asking that? Anyway, all good. Have a pleasant weekend.
@@Kube_Dog I overlooked you calling me a dummy. What is your issue, Keyboard Warrior?
Fantastic video, Dr Berg. I do +90% zero carb OMAD so I fast 20-23 hours each day, depending on when I have my meal (earlier in the weekends). Once a week I do a 47-hour fast. Part of my daily meal is 6 whole extra large eggs. My waist has gotten SO tiny! My waist-to-height ratio is 0.44-0.45, and yet I'm seeing the gains from lifting at the gym 💪 Don't be afraid of those yolks! The yolks are the best part 😋
Dr.Berg, please never be done. We learn so much from you! Thank you!
Thank you Dr Berg. I have been on OMAD for 2.5 months. I had bad NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).
Fast forward to today, my liver stopped hurting and it isn’t protruding so much from my belly. I think I will be a new person next year this time. From all your videos I have learned there’s really only like 10 reasons for difficulty on keto.
1. Not enough vegetables
2. Insufficient qty of veggies
3. Lacking a good amount of greens
4. Too little vegetables
5. Skipping eating your veggies
6. Not ensuring your vegetable intake is high
7. Scant vegetable consumption
8. Failing to have a high amount of vegetables
9. Finding ways not to eat your vegetables
10. Minimal vegetable intake.
Every video helping me to keep a healthy lifestyle!! Can't thank enough for your help Dr Berg !!!
Full of goodness. Like you Dr. B. ☝🏾💙🌟🌟🌟🔥🔥🔥
You'll never be done Dr. Berg, we will always want your fantastic advice and informative videos :D
I've been on your program and doing OMAD now for 1 year (started in October 2018) and my health could not be any better. Female, ~5'9" (or 175/6 cm tall) weighin in at 128-130 lbs (~58kg) at age 49. Hair and nails are long, strong and my skin is clear. My husband joined me and he lost 90 lbs and went from shopping in the Big & Tall section into the regular Men's dept. for Clothing. Went from a XX/XXXL to a regular XL (he is 6'4" tall weighing ~200 lbs). When he started this he weighed in a little under 300 lbs. Major transformation !
Congrats! Keep up the good effort.
What is OMAD?
I have 20 percent working liver. Told me to wait for transplant. I started keto and have lost over 70 lbs. The doctor says that fasting is a fad and can be fatal in my condition. I've sent you my success story
I have Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver and I appreciate every little thing you can advise us on the matter. Thank you. Also, please will you do a video on dissolving a 2.5 cm gallstone. I think you mentioned before that digestive enzymes (??) can dissolve gall stones. Thank you for everything you do Dr Berg. Sending love and light direct to you.
@Op Hs How do you mean sorry?
Intermittent Fasting is pretty amazing, I’ve lost about 10lbs in ~2months and reduced/lost my bloated gut. During the work week it’s easy. I’m up at 5A, I have a coffee and a few vitamin supplements. I don’t eat until I get back home ~7P, then start the whole process again for the next day. Weekends are a bit tougher, being home with easy access to food. At present I’m looking into the KETO diet but I don’t have a gallbladder which makes it more difficult to pursue. I think this Dr. knows what he’s talking about...
Doctor Berg this was very helpful.And could you please do a video on brain health.That will be much appreciated. 😊
Been IF for over a year now. I've experienced all its fantastic benifits. Weight loss. Alertness. Plus, my arthritis is soooo much better. Like massively much better.
Kicking much if the surfer helps, but I think the intermittent fasting has been the main factor.
I'd like to nominate Eric Berg for a Nobel Prize in education of longevity and an honoury master's degree in explanation with a soothing voice. Yes I know there are no such a things but wouldn't it be cool.
My body adapts to the 22/2 hour meal plan, but I need to eat a full meal. It has to be a balance of fats,vegetables, protein, fruit, nuts, etc, or I will feel too hungry and want to break my fast. I feel and look good. I was able to break my weightloss stall. I am almost out of the overweight category. I used to be obese weighing 155 pounds at 5 '1. I stalled at 145 pounds, now I am below 140 pounds. My goal is 130 which will put me at a normal weight, but I will continue a healthy lifestyle and lose as much excess weight as possible. I started exercising regularly including weights and running. My Mother passed away from breast cancer. I am doing what I can to stay healthy. I eat desserts on occasion and I used to love white potatoes, but I have cut back a lot to avoid diabetes and high blood pressure.
Thank you for sharing this. This is great!
Dr Berg. I lost about 170 pounds doing keto+if+gym since feb, 3 this year. Last week I almost fainted. That has never happened to me before. I generally feel great. It was really fast. I wonder if I need to stop taking my medication for BP, cuz every morning I test it and it is 130/70. I will see a doctor, but do you have any advice ? Also, my glucose level is generally at 60 mg/dL after 8h or 9h fast. I wonder if should I eat more fat :/ have any helpful suggestion ?
Bro keep sipping on water with a pinch of pink salt for every 250ml
Thanks Dr. Berg! The liver is my favorite organ of which I clense every day. I will be doing a 52 hr fast in the coming week and a 25 hr fast today. It makes you feel so good. 23 hrs tomorrow.
Sir please do video on lipoma how to treat it naturally without side effects
This man knows what he's talking about! I'm 61 years old, type 2 diabetic. I began my wellness journey 22 weeks ago by watching Dr Berg's videos. I thought he was nuts at first, but I tried a few of his easier to understand concepts first and started feeling better right away. It took me 40 days to lose my first 10lbs as I eased into Keto/Intermittent Fasting, after that the weightloss accelerated. I'm now losing 10lbs about every two to four weeks! Seven months ago I couldn't get my resting pulse below 100 bpm, two days ago I went and donated blood - my resting pulse was 81! Down 62lbs in 22 weeks total since I've started this journey! I have no cravings for sugar or high carb junk food, quite the opposite - food commercials now gross me out! 98lbs to go, but I'm focused on the journey, not the destination!
Enjoy the journey!

Stay tuned!
Hi Dr. Berg, sorry for commenting on such an old video. I have been fasting and exercising constantly. My ALT in the liver had reduced to a healthy range but in the recent health report. My total Bilirubin is elevated. 2.2mg/dL. I read online that its one of the causes from fasting. What should i do? Should i do further checks?
Can bilirubin increase while fasting??
what's the best workouts and or exercises for toning your skin after dropping much weight? thanks Dr. Berg
Some day dry fasting may help with skin but do some more research on it
Dr.Berg I have a question I sure hope you can answer. I was ordering some products that you have mentioned in your videos called MCT oil , Trace minerals and sea kelp. Should I take all of these together? I read that the MCT oil causes constant BMs and that taking it with sea kelp can hospitalize a person. I was shocked i don't know if the person was serious or being funny but i dont want to end up in the hospital for mixing and ingesting contradicting supplements!
It’s probably better to take them separate so they don’t inhibit each other and you can get better absorption. But that’s my 2 cents.
vivek p I hope that’s kg lol
I skip breastfast,eating bracket 12 ,nothing solid from 6pm,been consistent for over a year now,with 20min solid workout everyday ...im 39,i feel 24.💪🏾.my blood pressure is like I'm a teenager, i feel awesome!
Our beloved Prophet Mohammad SAW used to eat only once a day on the days he wasn't fasting but usually he fasted for two three days continuously
@@Kube_Dog oh GOD, dear what are u saying. Is it true
Yes, Basharat, he also gave us advice on eating habits. He SAW said don't eat unless you are hungry and if you want to be healthy fast.
@@oyinkansolawewe4281 yes brother but we should fast only for sake of God and not for health or other benefits because all benefits are by products our purpose is obedience of our creator. Isn't it?

My 13 day water fast today (9 Nov 2019) Add sea salt or electrolytes.
Omg share ur story how to u hold hunger
@@happyme3930 Honestly, I just go through it. The 2-3rd and part 5th day was tough as I felt weak and a bit dizzy. Then I began to add electrolytes and sea salt into my water and felt much better. Feels good. You can do it if you are willing to.
LordStanley. How active are you when doing that fasting regime? I work 8 hour shifts in a busy hospital. c.
@@CatsRule I have a very active lifestyle. I work a lot. I try to do at least 40-50 push ups daily. I have not done that daily, but I try to do some. It is interesting because I am not hungry at all. I think full autophagy is in. I am not breaking it yet. I'll see.
@@CatsRule Cats, it truly is a battle in the mind. Once you overcome and persevere and keep pushing forward, you will succeed. Stay with it when you do it. Also, mind you, start with smaller ones. 3-4 days a couple of times. I do OMAD and do not count calories at all. OMAD and IF will prepare the body. My IF regiment is anywhere 2/21 or 22, meaning 2-3 hour eating. I eat a lot of fat. Have I fallen off and eaten later? Many times. But, I get back up and keep moving. But, one thing I can atest to: I do not eat any junk.
Wow. The Liver regenerates and heals it's self? Wow
Yes but it takes about 3 years.
One more thing Dr...thank you 😀
yup! i feel so much energized and i feel so much better physically and mentally.. i am doing 18 hours of intermittent fasting on a regular basis.. no cravings at all from food... thanks to you Dr. Eric Berg...
Hi Doctor, I've been doing intermittent fasting for a couple months now. Initially one meal a day but moved to 20-4 plan. However, since I have Gilbert's syndrome, I have to check my bilirubin levels regularly. I noticed that my bilirubin levels went significantly high (3H mg/dl) after I started fasting.
Is that normal or is it something I'm not doing right ?
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Berg! 👍😎
How frequently should we do intermittent fasting. ?
3 days per week ?
5 days per week ?
Everyday ?
You Can everyday
My Doctor says 2x per week you'll lose 15 lbs in 30 days. So it will depend on your goals
Such an awesome information Dr.
Thanks billion. Are there any issues Dr, if we are skipping our breakfast which falls under fasting window?
Thank you for the good information.
I started ADF (alternate day fasting) a while back and had great results. I lost weight, felt fantastic, and noticed overall health improvements. However, after 4-5 weeks, I started experiencing stomach discomfort, bloating, and indigestion, which progressed to a severe abdominal pain episode that landed me in the ER. They diagnosed me with multiple small gallstones (largest 4mm).
The doctor recommended a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), but I'm truly hesitant about surgery. Since the diagnosis, I've been dedicated to a healthy diet and exercise to improve my health. I still have some weight to lose to reach my ideal BMI and honestly, ADF made me feel amazing. I've heard stories of people managing gallstones without surgery, and I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with this.
My questions are: Is there a known link between ADF and developing gallstones? If I want to continue ADF to reach my weight goals, how can I modify it to minimize the risk of further gallstone formation? I would really appreciate any advice from people who have successfully managed gallstones without surgery.
Hey Dr. B! I've been wondering your opinion on yerba maté?? Is it fasting appropriate?
Beets also contain significant choline.
Thank you very much Dr Berg 👍🌷🌿💕
I love this guy. Well done sir, you've taught me a lot.
Dr.what is a choline? is it vitamin B?
😎Thanks for all your advice,Lifechanger!👍🏼
Dr. Berg have a serious and much-needed answer. I've read and heard from several doctors that if you have a cirrhotic liver you should not fast. Because it can cause bleeding in the portal vein and can cause your liver to fail because it cannot produce certain enzymes or something. What does a person do at this point?
What's your thoughts on fasting in someone who has infected with hepatitis such as B or C. Will fasting up regulate viral transcription and expression? Increasing viral load will demagogue the liver further.
@@davelawson2564 is this remedy from your personal experience or an established treatment?
Excellent video, 🙏 dr. Berg.
Would Serrapeptase help autophagy especially the scar tissue in the liver ?
I found my fasting max out at almost 3 days
Yes Choline is very good for the liver
TMG is also another one
i found Wheat Germ oil and retinol really support the rebuilding the liver.
Thank you Dr. Berg
which is most effective out of the gate - ACV or Choline? I guess my question is which one is best to start with? Or can one be replaced by the other (or used in conjunction)? Thanks!
I was told a big NO with liver cirrhosis.
Protein malnutrition is a big risk

So I’m having hard time giving up alcohol! Is there a way to lose fat while still drinking?
Ps I’m on keto and intermittent fasting!
What about long term effects on the bilirubin, and potassium? My bilirubin count was a little high after a fasting and potassium low.
Good morning
Thank you so much for this. I think this is what I finally needed to motivate me to lose weight.
Most welcome! Glad you found it helpful.
While fasting longer bilirubin increases and it seems to hurt my kidneys is there any solution to this ?
Thank you Dr. Berg. .. could you please advise if IF is good for women on the long run. .. I read some articles claim that IF could be harmful for women hormones balance. I had been doing IF for one year now ( 16 h _ 8 h) .. I feel great !
Hey brother does intermittent fasting make you lose hair ??? Its because of less intake of proteins??? You said this or negative??
I love the way you explain things - thank you!
Please dr Berg, can I fast 4-7 days if I have hepatitis b ?
I’m not referring at intermittent fasting, I am referring to fasting with only water
Thank you
I don't see a bullsh*t reason why I should go see my doc for " annual exam " to tell me what my blood pressure is, like seriously, how are those people helping us ?? I wish all doctors were like you !!
They're not lol
Wow, been searching for this for a while now. Thank u dr. Berg, God bless
I do believe in the fasting 💯 but I feel stronger and happier with more weight on, I’ve went skinny before and I feel tied, joints ache, as I’m very active (bike riding m, dog walking, weight lifting and roofer as my job). So hard to find that sweet spot, but having a belly does worry me if I could have fatty liver...
Doc, please do vid on lecithin (phosphatidylcholine)
Is IF causing hair fall?
Very good video as usual.
May I ask Doctor Berg: Is it better for autophagy to 1) fasting twice a month each time for 4 days OR 2) fast twice a month each time for 4 days plus add 8 times 36 hours of fasting?
I am afraid for cell regeneration/recycling the second option would be too much (is that even possible?) and less possibilities in the short feast-days to get all required nutritions from food?
@Op Hs yes, but he also said that nobody really knows when autophagy starts, and if you eat a lot of carbohydrates for example, then you are surely not into autophagy after 18 hours but more likely after 30 hours.
I am a skinny guy and I cannot gain weight easily, so I am not interested in losing fat, I am only interested in cell recycling, and I want to get the most out of autophagy. I read a few books focused on autophagy and all said the same thing: autophagy may start after 14-16 hours, but it is a very light autophagy (like autophagy during sleeping, exercising) and the efficiancy of autophagy after 36 hours of fasting compared to the beginning after 16 hours is raised up to 400%.
Based on my skinny body, I dont want to starve myself for nothing, wrongfully assuming every day after my 16 hours fast that I was enjoying autophagy but in reality I would have needed to fast the double amount of time.
Great information, Dr. Berg! Thank you! Is the choline in egg yolks what promotes the weight loss from an egg fast? Will an egg fast and IF break a stall? Thank you!
THANK you so much for the videos. Do you think broth breaks a fast.
Again thanks for your videos
Water during a fast is your safest bett..... HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH
Yes, any Calories consumed will break your fast. Hope that helps!
Yes, it has calories
I wish more people would just try fasting. Not just intermitent fasting, but a more Spartan 48 or 72 hour fast. And not try to find a thousand reasons that it won't work. Just try it. I had to quit drinking alcohol and eating sweets for any of this to work, and I think a lot of people don't want to give that up. Just try it. I drink salt/potassium water and black coffee when I fast.
If you don't think you can fast, work your way up to it by getting into ketosis and quitting alcohol first. Just stay on a ketogenic diet for awhile to be prepared. Then, stop eating and maybe cut back a bit on exercise - not much.
Intermitent fasting, full 48 & 72 hour fasts, and ketogenic diet have helped me lose 30 lbs and I look better in the face. I realize that if I wanted to compete in an athletic even that involved explosive strength, I'd need to add back some carbs -- to keep glycogen stores up. But other than that, this eating pattern has been great for me.
Thank you
The best way to fast every other day or a month every year as the muslim do
Ways of making apple cider vinegar please
said Boumediene. Myself I take a tbsp in a cup of warm water first thing every morning.
I lost 20 kilos (from 110kg to 90kg) in 5 months starting keto and now OMAD with almost no intensive exercise, but that's probably because I'm just younger.
you weigh 90 pounds??
@Op Hs relax bud, its just the internet
Hi Dr Berg would love a response here is Autpohagy good or bad for a liver damaged by alchol or is it better to eat a lot of nutrient dense foods, thanks?
I recommend the herb Milk Thistle which has amazing properties of liver regeneration. The longer-term fix is to get on ketosis and intermittent fasting by consuming lots of cruciferous vegetables.
Thank you for the information. Is this method a good option when we no longer have our vesicle? Thanks
I take turmeric tea with cinnamon and organic coconut oil during IF. Will it break my fast?
Yes it will break your fast but it does not spike your insulin.
HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH
Short but straight to the point. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
I heard dr Jason fung say it’s the best way to clean up your fatty liver. I eat one meal a day 5 days a week. I sure hope it’s helping. Been doing it even though my weight loss journey is over.
thanks Dr Berg you were talking directly to me
