Since I was diagnosed with type 2 in 2007, I have had a miserable relationship with metformin with diarreah as a daily problem. With a heart rhythm issue, the doc said take magnesium.

I Noticed you check all the comments and I need help, so I used to be 280 and went down to 220 from May to August. And to lose more weight and get thinner all around I have fasted for 5 days and plan to go as long as I can. But when I plan to break it. Can you give me the ideal first meal after because I’ve mainly been scared to end it because of that Overfeeding Syndrome. So can you please explain that because I saw “possibly fatal” and how I’m scared to risk getting it

Hi Megan, I had beef bone broth in the evening of my 36 hours fast. It was quite fatty, and I got quite strong nausea that lasted all night. I then realise by doing some research that the bone broth recommended during a fast was just chicken bone broth, is that correct? Would you sat the fatty beef bone broth might have caused the nausea, so better to avoid it? Thanks
Beef broth should be fine! Maybe you drank too much or too fast. Or maybe it wasn't the bone broth making you feel nauseated. Could be dehydration or depleted salt levels. Hope you're feeling better!
Thanks a lot for your video but I'm a bit confused between your tip number 2 and 4. Are cucumbers and tomatoes an exception to the 'no raw vegetables' rule?
Hi Can you discuss When you might need to break the fast? Hair falling out and or ears ringing, for example? My second 42 hour fast today and though I feel euphoric, super happy and not hungry, I seem to have these two issues with fasts beyond say, 24 hours. Would love to hear your thoughts Thank you
The Fasting Method I did break it earlier than I had planned to. And just like that, my hair stayed in my head instead of all over the house. The body certainly IS amazing! And I tried to not feel as though I failed at the longer fast, just need to have patience and work up my hours and fasting muscle. Thank you for teaching me that!
The Fasting Method I agree, I just am soooo ready to heal this body :). I thank you very much for your support and fabulous information that you post on your channel
Someone please help me confirm. So if I break my fast by drinking chia seed/water mixture with a tomato and cucumber salad as my first meal. Will my metabolism go back to normal? And not cause me to gain weight after fasts?
You should not gain fat while consuming this to break your fast. However, it is possible to gain water when consuming foods which fluctuates and is nothing to be concerned about. True weight loss while fasting is about half pound a day and anything more is water.
@@TheFastingMethod my body adjusts to my fast so it slows my metabolism after I start eating the slow metabolism causes me to gain weight. What do I do)

sauerkraut needs to be an active culture to do anything useful, as does apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is outrageously over rated. It’s only value over any other vinegar is the active culture of acetobacter, which really is not great “probiotic”. Kombucha has a much more diverse bacterial community, and is far more valuable as a probiotic as a result. Home made kefir expands on this... made from hand me down kefir grains, it’s has a hugely diverse colony of probiotic microbes. Kimchee is often available as a live culture product, essentially much the same microbes as kraut. but live.
I fast all the time. 16hr thru 42hr and anything over 24 usually results in black soft stool. Just mild discomfort but itd be better to not have it. Bone broth sounds interesting. Im 180 at 24%bf How much would you recommend? Then how long before a salad or meal?
Loose stools are very common. You can have a cup or two of broth and then wait about an hour to eat.

What about taking a pre and probiotic an hour or two before breaking the fast? The bacteria should wake up your intestines. On a similar note, what about taking a mild and natural laxitive at the start of the fast so you're "clean" during the fast? I'm thinking your colon would love to have a break and a fast is a perfect time to do it.
Pre and probiotics are great to take while fasting. The laxative should not be needed, your body usually cleans itself out naturally. Learn more at The Fasting Method thefastingmethod.com/online-intermittent-fasting-program/
Pepto works for me but I typically just put a tablespoon of baking soda in a glass of water and drink it before bed. My acid reflux has gotten better after stopping 15+ years on Prilosec daily and moving to Keto. For some reason fasting for several days always makes my reflux come back.
Hi megan. I wont b able to eat much after breaking my 20 hr fast. Not hungry at all. Made egg omelete wit vegies and chicken salami and cheese. And i loved it before.
..i m a 34 yr old female ...Last wk i practiced 36 to 42 hr fast regimen..it works well for me for wt loss ..during fasting intially i felt a lot of weakness ..but from 4th day onwards i m gud ...on 9th day of my 2nd wk of 36 to 42 hr fast (at my 14th hr r sum thing )i experienced light headedness nd vertigo eventhough i took salt 1 hr before ,,,so i immediately took sum sugar for my vertigo ...immediately i became normal...what does that mean...in btwn fasting period during eating window i took low carb nd high fat food only
Your body was probably low on electrolytes and dehydrated. Try drinking more water and consuming more salt if you can! Good for you for listening to your body. Instead of taking sugar next time, try bone broth or half an avocado or something!
We recommend real, whole foods over meal replacements. You could break your fast with the green drink, provided you make it yourself and it doesn't have any sweeteners in it.
Hi Megan, I have to say I have HUGE respect for you just doing that 42/42/24 fast and sticking with it for six months! I wrote you days ago after breaking my fast with a huge stomach ache . Though I am for sure intent on your healing fast, today was a mere 22 hours and I had the shakes so badly that i just broke my fast with about 2 ounces of wild caught salmon and evoo. When one gets the shakes, is it ok to ignore that and just plow through? I feel like a wimp to have eaten when I wasn’t hungry but those shakes lasted long enough to say Ok, stop for today. ?????? I’d love to learn more on what I may expect doing 42 hours and what’s ok to simply Be With and what’s perhaps an indication I would be better off ending the fast. I appreciate that every BODY is different and may react differently, especially with whatever underlying issues one has though if there are some common features I can be aware of and keep fasting, that’d be great. Think on Thursday if any shakes I’ll do some restorative yoga to keep going. And thank you for your advise and encouragement the other day, my belly feels calm with the salmon instead of eggs nuts and celery! and the shakes are going away. To 42 for me this week! I’ll keep at it!
Hey Amanda, the most important thing to do while fasting is listen to your body. If you're feeling unwell, break your fast!

@@TheFastingMethod my question was because you mentioned in your video to let it stand for 15 min, so is it ok to take right away like others say or your recommendation of letting it sit for 15 min before. I’m confused, if it expands is it ok to let it sit 15 minutes?
I started breaking my extended fasts with bone broth and waiting for around 30mins eating a nice sized salad with a protein. I don't ever eat sugars or anything processed.
@@tannerbrooks722 when I go past 48 hours I follow the bone broths like when I hit anything beyond 72 hours. If I go for 5 days straight as well. It's something I do once a month to reset myself.
@@radicalgreek99 Ah, I went from 280-220 working out and eating healthy. But am fasting from 220-200 and I’m at 214 3 days in and I read about an over feeding disorder and I’m scared a 5-6 day fast how to break it and be super safe around that disorder
@@tannerbrooks722 I suggest getting your electrolytes in and keep fasting. You're body will tell you if you need something. It's all about knowing where to stop and how to eat again. So sipping on bone broths 30 minutes before eating anything solid will help also eat lean protein and some steamed vegetables nothing raw.
Hi, thanks for the video, very helpful! :) Quick question I've been fasting for 17 and a half days, ending it on my 20th day. However, I HAVE been having coffee with milk ever since I began (I know that's not a true fast but hey lol). Has the milk been keeping my digestive system working, making it easier to refeed? Thank you!
Hi there, this is hard to answer without knowing other details about what you've been doing. Re-feeding issues tend to happen with inadequate electrolyte replacement. We always advise extended fasts be supervised medically. Please follow the guidance of your provider.
Is rice soup okay? I'm almost on my teens, and im fasting for 1 day since its my first time and honestly really hungry. The rice soup is a light thing to digest.
I'm not sure what is meant by almost on my teens, but if you are under age 18, we do not advise any fasting. If you mean you are in the teens for hours fasted, we don't advise rice soup, as this will surely spike insulin. Stick with bone or vegetable broth.
What about Fruits can we eat that as first meal after fasting 16hrs?? I been doing that but I don't know if I am getting my sugar level high, Any recommendations??🍌🍎

Hi megan. I wont b able to eat much after breaking my 20 hr fast. Not hungry at all. Made egg omelete wit vegies and chicken salami and cheese. And i loved it before.
Hey Nasira, if you're not hungry, continue your fast! Just make sure you're staying hydrated and listen to your body.
4:41
thank you !

What about just the brat diet? Bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast.
We don't recommend this diet, as it is very insulinogenic.
..i m a 34 yr old female ...Last wk i practiced 36 to 42 hr fast regimen..it works well for me for wt loss ..during fasting intially i felt a lot of weakness ..but from 4th day onwards i m gud ...on 9th day of my 2nd wk of 36 to 42 hr fast (at my 14th hr r sum thing )i experienced light headedness nd vertigo eventhough i took salt 1 hr before ,,,so i immediately took sum sugar for my vertigo ...immediately i became normal...what does that mean...in btwn fasting period during eating window i took low carb nd high fat food only
Your body was probably low on electrolytes and dehydrated. Try drinking more water and consuming more salt if you can! Good for you for listening to your body. Instead of taking sugar next time, try bone broth or half an avocado or something!
@@TheFastingMethod sure ..thank u
What about having a Superfood Greens type drink to break your fast, and then follow that with a meal replacement shake?
We recommend real, whole foods over meal replacements. You could break your fast with the green drink, provided you make it yourself and it doesn't have any sweeteners in it.
@@TheFastingMethod Thanks for the advice. The one I use is sweetened with Monk Fruit Extract.
I just broke a 5 day fast , with soup then an avo , tomato and lettuce salad . ( note I’ve been drinking lemon water and tea during the fast )👌
That's fantastic!
I had a question I don’t know when I can eat normally again ? I’m scared I might get sick or something might happen

Hi Megan, I have to say I have HUGE respect for you just doing that 42/42/24 fast and sticking with it for six months! I wrote you days ago after breaking my fast with a huge stomach ache . Though I am for sure intent on your healing fast, today was a mere 22 hours and I had the shakes so badly that i just broke my fast with about 2 ounces of wild caught salmon and evoo. When one gets the shakes, is it ok to ignore that and just plow through? I feel like a wimp to have eaten when I wasn’t hungry but those shakes lasted long enough to say Ok, stop for today. ?????? I’d love to learn more on what I may expect doing 42 hours and what’s ok to simply Be With and what’s perhaps an indication I would be better off ending the fast. I appreciate that every BODY is different and may react differently, especially with whatever underlying issues one has though if there are some common features I can be aware of and keep fasting, that’d be great. Think on Thursday if any shakes I’ll do some restorative yoga to keep going. And thank you for your advise and encouragement the other day, my belly feels calm with the salmon instead of eggs nuts and celery! and the shakes are going away. To 42 for me this week! I’ll keep at it!
Hey Amanda, the most important thing to do while fasting is listen to your body. If you're feeling unwell, break your fast! To get more information or more personalized advice, I'd consider joining our online membership community or booking a free consult with one of our coaches!

Oh thank you! Ok then, I’m glad I listened and hope my body listens to Me tomorrow!
I have a lot of weight to drop I'm looking at fasting the days I work should I fast 3 days a week or 5?
Whatever works for your schedule Sharee!
@@TheFastingMethod thank you !
What job do u do, could u still work? How did it go??
Hi! I have been told to drink psyllium immediately because it starts expanding, can you advice me more on that, please.
Some do take psyllium husk or chia seeds when they break their fast if needed to help with loose stools.
@@TheFastingMethod my question was because you mentioned in your video to let it stand for 15 min, so is it ok to take right away like others say or your recommendation of letting it sit for 15 min before. I’m confused, if it expands is it ok to let it sit 15 minutes?
@@pugalover9177 These should be soaked in water for 15 min before consuming to avoid dehydration as it will otherwise absorb the water in your body.
@@TheFastingMethod mmm ok, thank you very much for your response!
Thank you!
I started breaking my extended fasts with bone broth and waiting for around 30mins eating a nice sized salad with a protein. I don't ever eat sugars or anything processed.
That's a perfect way to break an extended fast!
Can I ask how extended and how much broth
@@tannerbrooks722 when I go past 48 hours I follow the bone broths like when I hit anything beyond 72 hours. If I go for 5 days straight as well. It's something I do once a month to reset myself.
@@radicalgreek99 Ah, I went from 280-220 working out and eating healthy. But am fasting from 220-200 and I’m at 214 3 days in and I read about an over feeding disorder and I’m scared a 5-6 day fast how to break it and be super safe around that disorder
@@tannerbrooks722 I suggest getting your electrolytes in and keep fasting. You're body will tell you if you need something. It's all about knowing where to stop and how to eat again. So sipping on bone broths 30 minutes before eating anything solid will help also eat lean protein and some steamed vegetables nothing raw.
can you break it by eating berries?
You can break your fast however you'd like, so long as it works for you!
i dont understand. first she says have a tomato and cucumber fresh salad then she says dont eat raw vegetables
This is an exception. And, technically they are fruit.
Hello. Can these steps be done with a 7 day(168hr) water fast? I started the year with a prolonged fast and I’ll be done tomorrow. Thanks.
yes they are for extended fasts as well.
Hi, thanks for the video, very helpful! :) Quick question
I've been fasting for 17 and a half days, ending it on my 20th day. However, I HAVE been having coffee with milk ever since I began (I know that's not a true fast but hey lol). Has the milk been keeping my digestive system working, making it easier to refeed? Thank you!
Hi there, this is hard to answer without knowing other details about what you've been doing. Re-feeding issues tend to happen with inadequate electrolyte replacement. We always advise extended fasts be supervised medically. Please follow the guidance of your provider.
@@TheFastingMethod Thanks for reply, I'm having electrolyte fasting salts :)
I'm also having iron tablets, multi-vitamins and vitamin D tablets
Your consuming calories, no point of what your doing really. Your just teasing your body with a little bit of calories
Speak a bit faster. X2 play speed was basically enough
Is rice soup okay? I'm almost on my teens, and im fasting for 1 day since its my first time and honestly really hungry. The rice soup is a light thing to digest.
I'm not sure what is meant by almost on my teens, but if you are under age 18, we do not advise any fasting. If you mean you are in the teens for hours fasted, we don't advise rice soup, as this will surely spike insulin. Stick with bone or vegetable broth.
What about Fruits can we eat that as first meal after fasting 16hrs?? I been doing that but I don't know if I am getting my sugar level high, Any recommendations??🍌🍎
If it works for you, go ahead. But fruit does contain a lot of sugar, so it might spike your blood sugar. Maybe try a chia pudding!
What about breaking fast with a protien shake (coffee, pea protein, almond milk, cinnamon, monk fruit extract)? Is that good for a first meal?
Depends how long you've been fasting. If you've been doing intermittent fasting, it shouldn't be a problem.
