I had also began having a slight tremor in my left hand for a year. That is gone. Frequent heartburn is gone and I am sleeping better. I am amazed at the results. I recently learned that cortisol increases when we fast from the stress so we should break our fast with protein.

    I am keto and OMAD (one meal a day). In addition I do a one day fast (skipping one day's meal) a little more than once a week and a three day fast once a month. I've been doing it for a little less than a year. I must say the cumulative effect of this has been truly profound. My energy level is dramatically improved. My mind is clearer. Whereas a year ago a host of problems made it such that if I walked two blocks to go to the store, I would suffer days of pain in recovery (bursitis and old knee injuries). Now I can walk all over the place, every day, without issue. Serious acid reflux to the point where I would sometimes be awoken in the middle of the night choking on my own vomit, completely gone. Perpetual hemorrhoids and blood in my stool, gone. Nerve damage symptoms, reduced 80%. Major acne skin rash, 100% gone. In addition I have lost half the excess of waist measurement (from a reduction of visceral fat), and fully expect I will be at an optimum waist to height ratio within another year.

      If you couldn’t go 18 hours without calories then you are either diabetic and went into hypoglycemia or it was purely mental. With a normal adult regardless of body fat percentage anyone can easily go 18 hours without calories the hard part for most people is the mental aspect. As I’m typing this comment I am currently on 22 hours without any calories aside from water and black coffee and I’m fine aside from a few waves of hunger that come and go it is relatively easy. I have been doing OMAD on and off for the past 5 weeks. If you do have health issues you should be working with your doctor to get on some sort of fasting regiment. Best of luck!

You now made me see why my mother was such a knock out model built until her old years. She was literary in atophogy every day of her life. She never ate before 1 pm and when she ate her first meal, it was black coffee and an egg. She worked on an empty stomach and worked slowly for hours. My mother never made us breakfast. Our breakfast was at 1 pm and we were all very fit. We only ate breakfast early on a Saturday if we were going on a family trip, like to the museum. My mother was a genuis at health care and I wish I never stopped following her lessons on eating. My stepfather also didn't eat until 1 pm. They never ate after 8 pm, unless they had their first meal around 5 pm cause they had a super busy day. I am now living like my ancestors. I will not be eating now before 1 pm anymore. I will be doing my work slowly so not to burn my protein from day before and don't burn out during fasting time. Today I am going until 3 pm in my fast to make sure that I am in autophagy.

    As of today I'm starting my 3rd week of one meal a day. There is always the part at the beginning where you don't feel good because you are detoxing, but after about 3-4 days you feel good.
    I have a travel mug of hot water going all the time and it keeps me from being hungry.
    This is the only thing that worked for me to get rid of the menopause weight that I couldn't get off no matter what I did! And I tried everything!

    I LOVE reading about everyone's good experiences with autophagy and low carb/high fat eating. I am a 73 year old woman. I have been eating REALLY low carb since June, 2022 and have lost 40 pounds. But now I'm stuck. Recently, because of your excellent videos, I have dropped two meals a day and eat only one. BUT, I have a real problem knowing just how much to eat and what types of food. I had been eating primarily meat and fat (hard boiled eggs, bacon, fatty cuts of beef, etc.) but I have remained stalled for almost 3 months. I sleep 8 - 10 hours every night; I fast for about 18 - 20 hours a day; I now walk for over 250 hours each week. I also started adding leafy greens to my food regimen but that seems to have made no difference at all. I've been told that when my weight loss is stalled, it's probably because I'm eating too many carbs. Well, I have been (religiously) eating under 20g of carbs a day for a LONG time! Now I'm thinking that, at my age, I simply have to let go of my angst about losing weight and take delight in the advances I HAVE made. My skin has become amazingly "young." My sleep has gone from 4-5 hours a night to 8 - 10 hours a night. My walking has gone from 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week, to 60-70 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week. My BP is consistently in the range of 105/68. I have more energy now than I did 8 months ago. AND, not to leave out an important piece of the puzzle, I had two pulmonary emboli in October, 2022. I was FORCED to slow down for a few months, and recover. It's only in the past two 3-4 that I have begun to walk again. So, KNOWING that I'm VERY lucky to be alive, perhaps my body REALLY is doing an amazing job at keeping me healthy! And THANKS to YOU and your amazing videos, I am learning SO much about how to grow younger every day!! The cardiologist says I will live to be 100+. I guess I ought to be able to lose that extra 20 pounds in the next 26 years!! Hahahaha!

All the doctors in the hospital suggested hysterectomy but I found a doctor/naturopath who treated me and told me to go into a lowcarb diet. Fast forward to this yr with the lockdown. I again ate a lot of carbs. When I began heavily bleeding again. I immediately began a lowcarb diet then having this OMAD.

I had been on BP meds for 3 years and was given statin med due to elevated cholesterol along with NAFLD at age 63. So with your guidance and other research I did. I realized that I can fix this, without resorting to medication. I followed this guidance religiously. I went from 205 lbs to 160 lbs in 4 months. I am off BP meds and never took the statins. Today, my doctor agrees I need no meds. My cholesterol levels have returned to healthy. Cognitively, physically and spiritually I have returned to feeling like I did when I was in my 20's ??? lol
    I have you to thank for this lifestyle guidance and I know share this knowledge with family and friends (when they allow me!)

    As a very strict discipline, Religion Islam has made 29 to 30 days consecutive yearly fasting of about 14 to 16 hours in a row. Maybe this explains the cleaning need of body as well as soul.

      That's amazing 👏 .. absolutely amazing health benefits!! Interesting that the bible mentions its benefits. Also, can't help but wonder how fascinating it is that Muslims are encouraged to fast (... fasting has been 'prescribed' for you, as it was 'prescribed' to those before you.. (Quran) .. and the choice of word is not recommended, or ideal, or should.. but the word choice is 'prescribed' ... and after watching these videos on autophagy i cannot think of a more fitting word than prescribed. And God knows best

Our bodies came from dirt, it is best to power and rebuild them from dirt. As soon as man intervenes with, genetic modification, and pesticide resistance/pesticide bearing plants and animals, nutrition goes downhill.

Ive noticed, now, a lot of doctors and so called experts are jumping on the band wagon, frankly, they disgust me. Its like the gluten free for all, the keto craze. Everyone is out to take advantage and make a buck at the public's expense. Intermitten fasting works and so does autophagy. You dont need to buy anything!!!

    I have been doing 5 day fasts and daily IF (20:4) it helps so much. I am able to train for a 5k because fasting makes it much easier to run. Probably because it reduces so much visceral fat from the organs! Now to get rid of all that and move on the subcutaneous fat :) 45 pounds to go! 23 down from fasting

    Thanks for the life-changing video about autophagy. I am practicing OMAD and am overwhelmed by its benefits. Initially it was merely for weight loss but I think I have entered a gold mine of information about holistic wellness of human health. While humanity is suffering from prolonged over consumption, fasting appears the only way to make any possible changes in individual wellness and public health. In the long run its going to save costs and lessen sufferings from chronic diseases. Greetings from Singapore!

    i used to have very minor floater in the past, but somehow it appeared so much on my right eyes 2months ago that it affects my overall vision by 30%. Thank you Lord Jesus, after watching many youtube videos and studies online, i went for a fast consisting of reduction in oily or heavy meals, eating more vegetable and fruits, and donating blood (autophagic way) as ways of eliminating the floater materials. After less than a month, the floaters is reduced by around 80%. Considered vision back to normal. Final thought: I believed all these improvement is not possible without the healing works of God, so give thanks to God for what you have and don't have.
