Hey guys, thanks for joining me on my brief fasting journey! Really keen to hear what you guys thought was most interesting.
One thing I should point out is that I have done many fasts over the years, so my body is adapted to it in more ways than one. While honestly I think getting as much low-intensity exercise as possible is the best thing *for me* on a fast, don't push yourself too hard. When you're just getting into fasting, it's hard to tell what will give you more energy and what will drain it. Also, I don't recommend runs or sauna like I did here - those were the two times when I started to actually feel bad.
LEARNED TO SHIVER YEARS AGO IN THE MILITARY. ACTIVATES BROWN FAT
What about heavy lifting?
Would you recommend it during fasting or only light exercises like walking and jogging?
Man. I really love what you're doing with these experiments. Bro. PLEASE contact "Cole Robinson (snake diet channel). He's a wizard at this fasting stuff and has done a lot of experiments just like what you're doing. His channel is hilarious now because all he does is yell at the camera like a drill Sargent-- but he's a cool guy and I've seen him do a lot of interviews with people and talk about Fasting. You should absolutely do an interview with him and pick his brain. He discovered that you can keep your energy up while fasting as long as you keep a high salt intake going. (which is what "snake juice" is; it's just salt water with potassium in it" -- Please interview the guy-- you two would hit it off because you're both very scientifically minded and learn from experimenting; and he can go deep with the science with you too. It would be such an awesome talk about fasting.
Hey can you do a video on the Ray Peat inspired diet?
This depends on where we start off too. People whose body fat is much higher (ceteris paribus) 🆙 will likely find it physically easier to fast than people who's body-fat percentage is much lower👍
I can't believe he said mitochondria without mentioning that it's the powerhouse of the cell 😭
Dont forget...
Mitochond- RIHANNA!!!
She is a powerhouse
Felt like getting to the top of the stairs but thinking there's another step
Shuddup you programmed public school-educated bot
This is the only context for the term “powerhouse”
Mitochondria do so much more than just being the powerhouse of the cell:
- Regulating cellular metabolism
- Calcium ion storage
- Involved in cellular signaling, growth and differentiation.
- Regulating the cell cycle and cell death (apoptosis).
It's actually pretty hard to fast not because of the hunger but because of the people. At work I probably get asked 5 times a day if I want to order something or walk to the kebap store around the corner. It becomes pretty disturbing when you realize how much revolves about eating in your social circle.
Definitely mate
I work at a law firm that has food catered 4 days a week. Hallways always smell like a damn french bakery shop...use it as a test my guy. Wish you the best
Saying no to one of my mom's meals knowing I won't have her forever is actually the hardest part
no thanks im fasting
huh?? 😂
@@fran2911 you can always have tea together fam, and just spend time, no need big foods.
As someone who has fasted for 2 weeks straight and consumed nothing but water and electrolytes I can tell you that after the first few days your hunger goes away completely. You could be looking directly at cake or a steak and feel nothing and it's kind of liberating when you don't NEED to eat.
This is the TRUE way to fast....
Entered ketosis
How much did you lose? How many steps did you do? And how much did you consume daily?
@@tuhent3209 not the original commenter either but personally i went from 191-172 in 14 days so 19 pounds
no exercise except for walking up and down stairs a couple of times to get water and going grocery shopping like once a week lmao only drank water and electrolytes
@@annabethsmith29303what kind of electrolytes do you recommend?
I started fasting for a full 24 hours twice per week about 4 months ago and it's been pretty great. I've lost weight, gained energy, and it's really nice to not feel so desperately attached to food. Snacking isn't something I do anymore because I just don't get hungry after I eat my main meal for the day. Low carb and fasting have got to be one of the most beneficial things I've ever done for my body! Great video!
Hey that's great!
How old are you, if I may ask?
@@sebastianmuenzberg4197 I'm not the OP, but I'm a 51 year old female and I started OMAD a month ago at a rate of 75% (the other 25% I've done IF 18:6) and I've lost 8 lbs and have experienced the same things Seth described! As an added bonus, I realized from only eating once a day that I'm "histamine intolerant" so I'm able to address that now! Before when I was eating all day I had symptoms all the time and didn't associate it with food!
Having been on OMAD for over five years, I often go over 24 hours without eating, but don't consider that fasting at all. There is zero active abstention from food, 23 hours (plus or minus a few hours) is simply the normal amount of time between meals.
Bro keep that up, but be weary of what you're eating. I was on it for several months and it was fantastic. But getting back onto eating twice, three times a day ruined me again. I wasn't careful about what I was eating when I was on OMAD.
Keep it up man.
I'm now down 13 lbs and am healing my gut 🎉🎉🎉🎉 (continued from my earlier post in this thread)

Love this. BTW - Your high level nuanced editing hasn't gone unnoticed.
It takes a long time, thank you for saying that 🤜🤛
Agree
I love the snark in the clips. The king of Rohan one was my favourite.
@@UKjaydee 😊9😊8😊😊
I went on 980 calories and internment fasting for 5 months . lost 70 pounds with no loose skin, i thought metabolism would get damaged . "starvation mode" but i lost 4 pounds per week consistently. i didn't touch the gym however i lost surprisingly little strength and could walk forever ,.
How do you not get loose skin when loosing that much weight tho ?
@@nitrop199 Autophagy.
In theory, it should have taken care of the unnecessary skin.
Can I ask you how old you are? Younger people tend to have less loose skin when going through a diet, compared to say people who are over 40. Thanks
That's amazing!! I'm so happy for you. 😊
What kind of intermittent fasting protocol did you follow?
I’ve been fasting for 19 yrs. I really think it’s anti-aging. You just feel so much better, less inflammation.
Jaysus girl, you must be starving!🤭😉😉😉😉😉😉
You got pics to prove this anti aging
Thanks India for giving Americans fasting. What Americans has given to this world except greed and destruction. Shameless Americans.
Speak for yourself lol. Always makes me feel shitty
Thats rather impresive, not a lot of people have been doing fasting for so long, or they are not easily found... How often did you fast and for how long? (every month for 3 days...?)
Have you done any "bloodwork" or what specific "antiaging" effects have you noticed on yourself?
Thank you
Great advice. Movement, cold exposure and staying busy are indeed crucial. My own experience is that regular 24 hour fasts (or OMAD) work much better to preserve lean muscle tissue, especially when combined with weight training. I just have a low-carb high-protein ~800 cal breakfast, do a low-volume but heavy gym session (signal to the body to preserve muscle) and go for an easy hike or a walk in nature. Fat melts, muscle stays, skin improves, mood improves.
I like this simple method. The heavy weights are a great addition.
Hi Jon, do you mean regular 24 hour fasts work much better than extended fasts?
Do you only eat 800 cal per day when you do OMAD?
Yeah I am curious to learn what is the optimal way to fast to loose fat but not muscle mass
Thanks India for giving Americans fasting. What Americans has given to this world except greed and destruction. Shameless Americans.
I did a six day fast. Yes staying active is important and I was skiing every day. No sugar, no salt. Just water. I also ran, weight trained and did my usual cold shower and sauna routine. My vision improved to the point i no longer needed glasses. My blood pressure went down significantly. I also lost 17 lbs. Which stayed off.
My experience compared to what I just watched. I think that the trade off between the comfort of eating a little also hampered the total effectiveness of the fast. His benefits were surely worth while but not life changing like mine.
I suggest you plan out your fasting in advance. Eat clean food before you stop eating for a few days . And understand that this is a mental battle nothing else. Hunger, headache, cold sweats are all your mind telling you to eat. But 3-5 days is not going to kill you
If it is the first time doing this fast do I need medical supervision??
Dude, I almost never see anyone mention anything about (short term) vision improvements! I havent done a fast in a while but i remember when i did a 2 day water fast I suddenly saw everything sharper/in more detail. It was like '4k' irl. I could see all the details on the outside of a huge church. Had a similar thing happen recently when I went on vacation in spain and the salt water first made my vision blurry for one or two days, but improved it afterwards.
The mind and body are already stressed. Plz take salt in your water and electrolytes when doing a 3-5 day water only fast.
If possible, "translating" measurements to metric system will help us a lot to stay focused on the video :)
That’s all I ask for, to write everything down on the video.
Especially because we use metric in Japan as well lol
Have done a 72 hour water fast four times in the last 8 months. Your videos have been a major factor in motivating me to start familiarizing myself with fasting. Fasting is mentally hard but rewarding experience
Hello :) just a quick information (if you're interested): the body takes roughly 2-3 days to switch over from using glucose storages and protein for energy. Only then the body Beginns to burn Fat for Fuel primarily. Or at least that's what the data suggests and what I've been told in biochemistry class in University.
Maybe try a slightly longer fast but farther apart for even more benefits 😊
@@littlefluffytutu8186hey question, how do you fast for that long on just water? Wouldn't I need minerals, do I add salt to my water?
Last July lost 28lbs in 28 days.
Having only 4 meals per week and those meals were limited to 30 minute eating windows. I also played football for about 5 hours each week and walked everywhere. My refeeds were mostly carnivore, but some days I'd include honey and berries. I had no artificial sweeteners. Only water, black coffee and tea.
How??
What did you eat
@@borntobehere4566 I ate steak, bacon, black pudding, cheese, butter, liver.
I'd eat on Monday afternoon (only have 30mins to eat as much as I can) after a long walk in the morning and play football in the evening.
Tuesday, same as Monday but I wouldn't eat quite as much but still enough to be satisfied. Then football in the evening.
Wednesday, no exercise, no food.
Thursday, again only a 30min eating window around midday after a morning walk and again, football in the evening.
Friday, eat as much as I can in a 30 minute eating window in late afternoon, even include carbs like fruit and honey with the meat and dairy. Then play football on the night time.
Saturday morning, play football ⚽️ Then go to work in hot kitchen for 10 hours. Eat nothing. Long walks to football and back and work.
Sunday, work in hot kitchen for 10 hours long walk there and back. No food, no calories.
It helps that I work from home Mon-Fri, so I had plenty of relaxed time during the week. I drank tonnes of electrolyte water, a black coffee now and again when I felt fatigued and some flavoured teas and black tea when I was desperate for some kind of flavour.
The weekend was the hardest, but I'd be so busy that it flew by.
Least sustainable diet ever 🙌😂
❤
I’m really happy to see how much your channel and your videos have improved since you started many years ago. U’re doing a fantastic job. Thanks for helping so many people out there and me included with sharing all of the knowledge that u’ve learned!
Fasting 5 days was not easy for me. I did it mostly to lose stubborn fats. I had a slight manboobs for as long as I remember and I thought was a case of gyno. But no glandular tissue, so I figure I'll try prolonged fasting to see if my body will eat it up. And the body definitely did. I shed much of it, and even out of fasting, it is much gone now.
From many in youtube, the hunger should disappear by day 3, but not for me, it was there almost everyday, which made falling asleep more difficult. Day 4, and especially 5 was particularly difficult for me.. I just felt shitty ( lightheaded, what felt like low blood pressure ), and I had to slow down my workout, took more electrolytes/salt during those days.
I will try it again in the future, as I feel like I might've went into the fast a bit unprepared. The result is undeniable though.
Cut carbs out of your diet for at least a couple days heading in to a fast.
Work on shorter fasts first
Wow, congrats for sticking with it despite feeling like garbage! (Yes, next time cut down on carbs for a few weeks before your long fast and you won't feel as hungry or shitty.)
I agree with cutting out carbs few days before to decrease the hunger feeling.
Just take semaglutide,
and the World is Yours.
Love the LMNT it’s a game changer for me
Thanks for the video you’re a maniac!
Doing a 5 day fast now just finished day 1
Wish me luck!
Just spent 45 mins doing cardio and some light weights as well!
Started following your content when I was living in Japan, but continue to enjoy your health stuff. Thanks for all the objective and well researched content.
Thanks so much for the support! Will keep the content coming ;)
Love your videos man, keep it up. I am 2 days into my fast so naturally returning to your videos for that extra boost of motivation.
Very informative video. Also, I've been wanting to do an extended fast for a long time. Thanks for the extra motivation!
Great video, never change your style please
Love your videos WIL, they're always fun and informative to watch. I enjoy all your self-improvement content, whether it's physique, learning a language, the brain, anything.
Thanks Joseph for your amazing efforts and high quality content. I look forward to all your videos. Small suggestion: please include units when stating blood test results and levels.
Thanks India for giving Americans fasting. What Americans has given to this world except greed and destruction. Shameless Americans.
I love your videos about fasting. Really helps me out on my fasting process.
I found your videos about 4 years ago when I started a new job that was causing me to develop sleep issues and I have to say this channel has become one of the best scientific resources out there for quality of life management.
This is just what I needed to see 👏
Really great video I love it how you share your own experience doing these experiments backed by research and studies. Your editing and videography makes it more engaging and I would love to know what software you use to edit your videos. ❤️
dude ive been watching you since you had like 5 videos thanks for doing this for so long
Love Valter Longo’s work. He’s one of my favorite researchers.
Great video man
This is awesome bro!
You are awesome big Brandon Carter
Your awesome too bud
I started prolonged fasting 6 weeks ago switching between 2, 3 and 5 day fasts with the odd OMAD (1 day fast) doing similar as he did, keeping active really helps. Dropped from 101.4kg to 84.9kg (that's about 36 pounds for the metric challenged). I feel great, have another 8kg to get to my target weight probably another 3-4 weeks and might even go a bit under. Sleep quality has improved, mental health and cognitive clarity has improved. Being able to get in my pre-Covid clothes certainly is a welcome plus 😅
Hi. How are you doing now? Just to be clear, did you lose 17 odd kgs in just 6 weeks or was it a longer time? Did you by chance gain any of that back?
Would appreciate a reply please
Thanks!
Thank you! I’m one of the metrically challenged and I get so upset when people write one metric and don’t include both kg/Lbs. I don’t know kilograms.
Fav vid of yours Joseph, a nice summary of fasting, insulin, ketones...Thx
One of the best videos on the subject that I have ever seen, and I have seen many. Thank you, just subscribed 😃
amazing content!
I wish I could give u a second thumbs up, this information is priceless, I'm doing intermittent fasting 16/8
Thank you for awesome and interesting experiments you do, in the same way, you also do additional "research" on the specific topic that helps other people
Great video. Your commitment to these videos is really cool.
I do that 3-5 times a year! It is amazing to stay humble and satisfied
Yeah, we were all impressed with your humility.
@@TheDavidlloydjones 😂
what's the longest you've gone?
Nothing says humble like boasting about being humble
@@zachariahstovall1744 5 days😊
In a previous video you made some time ago you had mentioned (or at least I got the impression) eating small amounts of food while fasting causes much more muscle loss than not eating at all. It would be great to hear some clarifying information about this
Keep it up wil! Been watching since 2018 love the videos you have changed my life
Great vid, man! Once your achilles heel gets better, make sure you stretch properly so you don't get too tight and damage your muscles. Especially after running.
I’ve actually been walking roughly two hours a day as of late. I haven’t watched the video yet but I’m excited to hear what you have to say. Your videos are always fascinating.
Low intensity cardio is key for fasting as that uses up the remaining carbs in the blood stream and switches you over faster to “storage”-metabolism instead of “food”-metabolism so you aren’t as hungry in the first few days
You just gave me a great idea! The title alone inspired me to try this out! Thank you man!
This is one of the best videos you have ever done and that is saying a lot!🤠
This video motivates me because I have never made it past 4 days (and usually can't make it past 3). Also, you answered some questions about what "breaks a fast". Earlier today, I was worried about 5 grams of carbs from some nutritional yeast, but now I know it will be fine and I can get my B vitamins. I'm hoping to blow my previous record out of the water soon. Wish me luck!
How do you do your fasts? Do you still work while fasting or are you on vacation?
I personally finished a 10 day fast just now, only water, tee and two cups of vegetable juice per day.
It was hard, but manageable.
But I was off work for the whole time, that helped tremendously.
@@kaisertreu6276 I'm quitting my job soon, and I'm waiting until it is finished to start my fast because it is a very physically strenuous job, so it makes me crave calories a lot because I burn a lot of calories at work. I tried fasting while working there once, and I got really light-headed. I'm sure it would totally depend on the type of work one does. When I was teaching, it was much more doable.
That's great that you did 10 days! I really hope I can manage the same this time. If I am too weak, I'm going to restart another fast immediately after the first one.
I believe that moving during a fast allows your body to tap into your energy reserves (AKA fat) more easily. This would not only help you feel better during the fast, but also helps you get better results. Great video!
Well yes, fat is a secondary source of fuel for the body as mentioned in many sports books
I've been watching your videos for years...please keep making content
Love your editing style man
Fantastic video.
Can you do a video on what happened a week or 2 after the fast? What changes did you find from the end of the fast till another week or two after?
Awesome vid, love your content.
You should and post all the sources and studies you cite
Thanks for the content. Been a longterm subscriber. Ordered from the sponsor for the video. Looking forward to the product because the powders I was using had sugar in them, and I cut my sugar intake a lot recently. Now the drinks with those powders are too sweet for me to enjoy anymore.
I've been doing light treadmill and water fasting for 3 days now. I've never thought I'll be able to pull it through as I am a real foodie. But honestly it's very great.
So only water for 3 day with no food right?
@@designdiary4746 yes!
Thank you. I've been trying to motivate myself to get back on track with fasting for a while now
What works for me is when I run out of groceries, instead of going to the store I start a fast. No need to worry about the groceries in your fridge going bad!
@@trucid2 Creative motivation, I love it!
@@trucid2Very smart
Dr. Jason Fung in a WIL video!! Great collaboration 👌🏽🤌🏽
Just found this channel. I love the balanced approach.
7:48 Just wanted to point something out here. As incredible as this looks, you have to remember water can't reach temperatures below zero unless it has a solvent in it, like salt, which makes it freeze at a slightly lower -2°. No matter how cold the lake is, when you dive a few metres down, you're gonna hit temperatures of up to 4° because that's the point at which water is the densest. This is still incredibly impressive as outside the water it's still -55°. I just thought I'd point this out
Hey, I really like your video and has been very helpful in terms of finding the diet that fits my schedule and lifestyle. Recently I've been doing alternate-day fast with intermittent fasting on the feeding days. I was wondering if you can do a video on this as I would like to see how the factors like ketones and growth hormones change over time - Many thanks! :D
Learned a lot from this. Actually i noticed the video quality improved a lot!
Great video! Assuming a water fast with mild activity, what minerals and amounts would you recommend per day? The LMNT packs only have Salt, Mag, and Potassium. Would you recommend stuff like Calcium and water soluble vitamins (B & C)?
The thumbnail is the exact transformation I got from 5 days without eating anything. Just water and salt.
I never did very Long exercises, just 30mins walks a day and by the end of the 5th day(120 hrs) I had lost 5.4kg.
Truly I don’t think you need all the extra stuff like cold baths and long exercises.
thats a really high quality video. Thank you
Awesome. I was wondering if I should try fasting because of my work - US Mail Carrier. I walk my route so I would definitely get some steps/miles in while fasting. I already take cold showers also. Thanks for doing this!
I’ve been fasting for the past week and I guess the algorithm knew 😂
I thought about it and still. Only did 5 days
You can't run from me ... Runningman
I only fasted about 4 times this summer, 3 days each, went from 240 (105kg) pounds to 180(80kg). Every time I fasted I expected to get some of the weight back after a couple of days, but it didn't happen. I'm the lightest I've been in years now, it's amazing really, went from actually obese to slightly overweight. Though I did kinda hit a platough, now I don't lose much weight and get it back, I guess because I was more physically active during the summer.
Huh did you reduce your diet or did it permanently stay off with the same diet you had before the fasts?
fascinating. thx for the hard work.
this is the best explanation of fasting and insulin resistance I’ve ever watched thank you
I’ve started intermittent fasting last year around November. First it was 16/8 hrs then went up to 18/6 too 24hrs in total I went out from IF to just fasting. Now from the start of my fasting I was around 268 and I’m 5’8 in height so I’m pretty fat. But now as of January 29th 23 I’m 239 and I’ve gain muscles since I worked out and also rode my bike. I can fast around 3-4 days before I feel unwell. Now this isn’t for everyone and make sure you see a doctor before fasting..
Congratulations with the process so far! I hope you reach the goals you want
The professional move here is you actually started 16:8 as the holidays came around... I did that the year before last and it was amazing I lost 30lbs in that 6 months period.... This past year I decided not to do IF and I gained all the weight back... It's was smarter to do it during winter!!!
I just finished a fast. I was in a fasted state allready when i did the weigh in and i lost 5 kg in 2 weeks and 4 days. Ate about every third day, mostly sausage omelettes with very low carbs :)
Your videos are seriously top tier
Great content as usual ❤
Amazing Video. Have you ever considered dry fasting ? Would love to see you try it. Greetings from Germany
Impressive results for a 5 day fast, and 79 miles of walking all the exercise and cold therapy was a big help. My question is after returning to your normal diet, how much of the good changes did you retain after a few weeks. I don’t think it’s practical for most people to do a 5 day fast. It would be useful to know how beneficial a 2 or 3 day fast twice a month would be. How about repeating the experiment by doing a month of time restricted eating say 6 hours a day from 1:00 to 7:00pm, or one meal a day.
Yeah it would be so interesting to know if the health benefits were maintained
I did a 60-70 hour water fast weekly for about 10 months. During that time I lost 80 pounds of almost all fat.
After that I switched to doing one or two 36 hour fasts a week (depending on how I felt about it and working around my new lifting schedule) and I’ve gained 20-25 pounds of muscle since then while slowly dropping fat still on that protocol.
Try three days every quarter. See how you feel. That's only 4 times a year.
A 2 or 3 day fast twice a month would be very beneficial. After doing that a few times you’ll end up doing them more often and likely for longer because it’ll become easy and convenient.
Awesome video. Thank-you for doing all of that logging and outlining of the of whole process! This is super useful to me as I am planning how to do my first multiple day fast 👍👍
So glad you mentioned the Effects of 10 days of fasting on homeostasis, my fav medical paper.
When you have (specific) pain, you gotta give yourself a break. (If you screw up your Achilles tendon, it can take months to recover.)
Ramadan's fasting is amazing
We dry fast from pre Crack of Dawn to Sunset and we break the fast with 3 dates and water, than pray.
Those who want to eat a mean will do so 20-30 minutes past fast breaking
And before continuing the fast at the Crack of Dawn we are recommended to take water sips even if one may have nothing else to eat .
if your only fasting for a 24 hour period you do not need to break it slowly... just eat away.. :)
Super informative, but also entertaining. You achieved the UA-cam balance.
Best vid I’ve seen so far, and how to do it practically. Awesome tips on moving, nature and sunlight …. Going to book a camping trip with water and electrolytes ! Thanks 🙏 mate !
I did similar engagement, I fasted for 5 days, no food at all, only pure water! Started with 178 pounds (6’ hight), but my results were way different! I finished with 172 pounds, but my LDL jumped from 152 to 205! Triglycerides were OK from 94 to 72, HDL from 47 to 52. Insulin was 4,5 to 1, etc. Although I walked only about 4000 steps/day without cold exposures…Maybe, it made all difference with your results! Also, I’m way older than you…Thanks for nice post, as always!
Thanks India for giving Americans fasting. What Americans has given to this world except greed and destruction. Shameless Americans.
Don't worry about ldl, it's not the boogeyman.
I did 5 days fast, but no eating at all. The second day was the hardest. But then it was pretty ok. I was lifting weights during fasting. And it made me feel more energetic. Though it was a bit harder. Also that gut shrinking is only temporary. Once you refeed, it should grow back:). I think it only shrinks, because you dont eat. But its not like its a fat or something.
Most of that loss is glycogen, water and retained onigiri.
Yeah it's not fasting if you eat
how much weight did you lose? because I'm starting an intermittent fasting diet with a duration of 24 hours, and a meal duration of 1 hour. I lost 5kg after 3 weeks of dieting, and I also exercised. I think I have to change the fasting duration to 48 hours or 5 days.
@@mahasiswabarusatu4250 i dont think i lost any weight. Or maybe very little. Though I was not doing it to lose weight as I dont really need to. Just did this for body cleansing purposes.
The improvement seen with the HDL was fascinating. Welldone
I was dreading Ramadan before watching this. Thanks for the amazing content dude
Can confirm, walking around outside helps a lot with (even intermittent) fasting. I've done that consistently since this summer and being active just keeps you distracted enough, whereas sitting at home will give you plenty of opportunities to think about and crave food. In fact, the only time my diet came to a halt was in October when I wasn't out as much as before or after. But there's also another component and that is how your brain stores habits with environments. What makes snacking so difficult to avoid is that just sitting on your couch (or whatever environment you trained your brain to associate with snacking) will trigger the craving, because it's actually triggering a habit and not hunger. Keep that in mind. Being outside and fasting is so much easier even despite all the food options outside! You simply don't crave them.
Yes! I can fast so much easier when I spend time outside!
Did a 5 day fast once in my life. Struggled a lot, hunger was there everyday. Drinking chicken broth once per day was the event I was waiting for like crazy.
Thinking of making a 2-3days long fast again in the near future, maybe as soon as my current box catering expires, been stuck around 5kg overweight and I'm thinking it'd help to move past that point finally
Try cutting down on carbs a few days before. That will decrease the hunger feeling. I water-fast every month for about 5-10 days and I live a Keto and IF lifestyle so it’s very easy for me when there is little to no carbs in your diet.
@@Pauliesha thanks man, I'll keep that in mind! Full keto diet is not for me (tried once for a month and it just missed the mark for me in majority or regards) but I sure as hell wanna do fasting properly this time. Last time it was super spontaneous so I didn't even prepare with salts.
IF rocks though!
Just take SEMAGLUTIDE to cure your obesity, and the World is Yours.

1. Promoting random products online, very believable
2. Obesity? As I said I have literally around 5kg too much being 86kg, 183cm high
@@TheFowo It's not promoting because Semaglutide is a chemical formular that works, and I have not specified any brands here. Otherwise I would tell you the name of that Danish company that produces it.
Great job. Way to go. I’m curious how it would have gone if you ate pats of butter for your few hundred calories a day instead of carbs. Just a thought on the reduced insulin that would have encouraged. Thanks for subjecting yourself to such an experiment and recording the data so well.
i just came off a 12days water fast 2days ago it was quit the experience. ive done 2~7day fasts and 1~5day fast in the lasy year, so this year i wanted to start strong i aimed for 16days just randomly but ended on day 12. when i fast i do nothing but work and sleep. i find that mentally i can do longer fast better than shorter fast. theres just something about a short fast longer than 20-23hrs jus scares me for some reason.OMAD is my day to day but anything more than that and shorter than a week seems like an insurmountable task for me .
I did a 4.5 day about 4 weeks ago i walked 8.4 miles the night i was going to start fasting. Did 14 miles the next day and 11 the next didn't get to walk the next two days due to weather but it was pretty cold outside. Lost 14lbs. I also sipped on salt waters and drank fresh water.
The quality is sick!
I bought it joesph! You do great work man show the world the power of fasting!
I just love the fact that fasting is becoming more and more popular across the world❤
People in Africa have been doing it forever.
I'm now at my 5th day of fasting. I'm having major jaw pains. I'm taking all the elektrolytes / sodium. Does anyone know how this van happen? I'm also doing stretches,massages etc.
Besides this the fasting is amazing no hunger at all and feeling amazing much happier!
Good vid dude
Question: Since you are doing a bulk/cut cycle, minimizing muscle loss during the cut is important. Would you recommend using those 500-900kcal to hit the recommended 1.8g x kg protein intake? Why or why not?
Doing a workout protects your muscles
Honestly, I initially thought 5 pounds of fat doesn't seem to that much fat loss for all that effort he put in, then I quickly realised a whole baby can be born with that weight and how low the density of fat is ,very impressive results.💯
Great video, as always! I find it mind boggling that Dexa scans are not available in Japan. I live in Fukuoka and was hoping that I would have more luck in Tokyo perhaps... alas. I'll stick with In-Body I guess!
This channel is such a gem
Do this again but just walking, no fasting. Might be almost the same result
Uh what, geuss ketone's are a fad then? Well your name checks out. Derpy suits you.
I did 5 day fast supplementing with bulletproof coffee and electrolytes to make it easier (thanks to tips from Dave Asprey). It worked great. Zero protein and carbs during fasting work well for autophagy, and the fat and the electrolyte lowers the stress to the body. I suppose if you are fasting for fat loss and not autophagy the intake of small amount of protein makes sense.
