You advice 2 teaspoon of Sea Salt per day during fast. Is it correct?
You should do a video on the Mental Benefits of a 30 Day No Alcohol Challenge. I've done a 30 Day No Alcohol Challenge and made a video but would love to see you do one also.👍👍👍
Hi Thomas, can you make a video on how to accelerate metabolism - in case we accidentally slowed it down through a prolonged, imperfect fasting regime?
Hey Thomas, I was wondering if the "miracle fruit" might be an interesting topic :) ua-cam.com/video/8O8WG0d9jaY/v-deo.html
Philippe Maxwell snake diet channel covers this in detail, you’ll need potassium as well.
I always watch fasting benefit videos while fasting.

How many pounds did u lose?
Did you make it ?
How did it go? What benefits did you feel? We want answers! 😅
@@davidclark6749since he didn't answer, I'll give you my results over the past 11 days - I did 4 days 20-22 hours fasts, then a 36 hour fast, then 3 more days 20-22 hour fasts, then a 48 -- I ate less than 1500 calories of clean food and smoothies for my meals... Started at 254 and this afternoon at the end of my 48 weighed 233, so I lost 21 pounds in 11 days. Only water with keto Chow drops, black coffee and tea while fasting. This is with zero exercise. I feel fantastic - my mind is clearer, I have 2 to 3x more energy, gut and digestive track feel 100% better, ... Mind and body is just 100% clearer and better feeling.
@@jedinerd77I’m gonna try it for new years and I’ll keep you updated :)
Every time I do a 48 hour fast I watch this video, no matter how many times I have watched it, it keeps me current on what's actually happening within my body and helps me feel more focused on my goals. I've lost count on how many times I've watched this video lol
How often do you 48hr?
Me too
That’s really smart
I am 18 hours into my first 48 hour fast doing the same. Done plenty of 24s. I am going for 36-48
Me too! 😀
1 minute into my 48 hours 😂
Just give up. Lol
Good luck, I am 2 hr into a 48 hr but have been on a keto diet for 3 plus week.
@@jamescyr7076 hows it going
@@pachirsiis doing great, I am on 36 hrs. I definitely find Himalayan salt in my water helps with the feeling of being drained (which isn't too bad btw). I did an intermittent fast the day before I started this one and have been on keto for 3 weeks. I will break my fast this evening but to be honest, right now I feel I could do 72 hrs easily. I won't though because this is my first long fast. Thanks for asking.
Update: I finished my first 48hr fast last evening. It went very well and other than feeling a bit sluggish at times, I feel I could do a 72hr fast next. My only advice to those who do a long fast is "do not watch evening television, the food commercials are around 5 food to 2 products. Lol
😂😂😂😂😂
Watching this while doing 48 hours fast.🔥 Halfway down, 24 Hours to go!
Oblong thats awesome 🤩 sending all good energy!
For me, It went very smoothly except few hunger pangs during lunch times. Going to do it again in start of July. 🥳
Me toooooo, 23 hrs to be exact
Me too!
That is so funny. As I'm reading this now, I am 24.5 hours into it. Just over half way there. This is my first time doing this, so hopefully I'll make it the rest of the way. I'll be honest, I'm getting pretty hungry lol. So well see!
@@michaelpurcelldo353 Did you make it the full 48?
Im on my 36 hr fasting at the moment. I will extend to 48 hrs wish me luck.!
i am a non stop eater, never imagined i'd be fasting. my stomach hurts all the time, probably cos of overeating, but i m not fat as i dont eat junk food. and i do new things for a challenge. i started fast on wednesday afternoon and now its nearly saturday afternoon. ive been drinking electrrolytes and herbal tea. and doing some excercise as well. my stomach is not hurting, my body feels very relaxed. i m not craving food, i got the food right in front of me, but not tempted to eat. this is my first fast, i totally recommend it.
it is after watching this video that really convinced me.
Same boat 😛36-48 not that hard I hope!
@@MovewithJenna You got this
S Nandra you are not a non stop eater then if you aren’t fat. It doesn’t matter what you eat junk food or healthy food. If you eat to much healthy food you will be in a caloric surplus so you will gain weight.
I’m sorry to tell you but you don’t defy science 👍🏼
Fantastic guys l now do 36hrs every 3 weeks.
1.2kg down on my fasting days. Try to do your workouts at the end of your fasting. Half an hour out of breaking your fast make yourself a cinnamon tea and add a little PHS so you don't get that insulin spike. Remember bone broth personally is my favorite to break my fast. Then wait 60min and eat normal KETO.
Good luck to all. Huge thanks to Thomas for your guidance, down 15kgs.
If you are 48 hours through a 48 hour fast and you feel OK, absolutely turn it into a 72 hour fast.
Yep agree
I just checked my clock. Hit 48 hours and now considering another 24 hours. I have done a 5 day fast on one occasion. This is so so imformative. Thank you.
I think I’m gonna do it b/c I could use an immune system reboot. I’m at 46 and I feel great
@@thomastraynor9299 do u take b vitamins during the fast?
@@slickrick5596 during fast is ok and even good but never after just breaking fast, you will definitely get dirrhea if you take supplement just after fast break and a 500+kcal meal
Finishing a 96 hour fast this evening, clothes a little looser, 6 lbs lighter this morning. Thanks for all the info Thomas!
That's amazing... listen...I'm adapted to one meal a day no problem...but it's scary to try 48...it's like swimming in the shallow end of the pool to the deep parts...any advise on how to handle this fear?
@@richardlawson6787 Eat a high fat high protein meal before starting. I had a 16 ounce ribeye, lobster bisque, & green beans. I wasn’t really planning on doing a 48 hour fast until I finished the meal. Felt like it would hold me over for 2 days easily. Just make sure to go to bed before you get hungry the next night.
@@richardlawson6787 try a 36 first, you just have to get thru one full day and then you can eat again when you wake up
@@richardlawson6787 I eat breakfast before I start so I start in the morning and then I drink black coffee throughout the day. Also eat sea salt too. Always helps with my salty cravings which is my weak spot. Honestly though it's all in your head. You have to just do it and remind yourself that your strong. Also keep yourself distracted. That always helps
Yeah! Well done :)
I suffered a traumatic brain injury 6 years ago and have had this on going fatigue issue ever since. After getting the best help available, nothing seemed to be working.
Now I'm currently 40 hours in on my first prolonged fast and WOW! The mental clarity is insane, I have never felt so sharp!
I had a stroke 3 months ago so I definitely understand the fatigue.I had to take a break from grad school because I can't focus well.I'm fasting now,without letting my family know.
You see I also felt pretty clear headed but I also noticed I couldn't do math 😅
Would love some updates on how it's going. I'm going to do my first 48 next week. I was OMAD for a year and have scaled down to IF in order to do some longer fasts.
Good for you. When I started fasting I was concerned about getting my work done at work, but instead found that I’m lazer focused after the 24 hour mark.
Try meditation bro it is helpful too I'm sure it'll help a lot fixing your brain (everyone's really, I meditate partly to have better mental clarity and in hope to fix the "damage" weed addiction has done to my brain)
I fasted 10 days water fast. It's a great feeling. I just broke my fast just today Feb 4, 2020 my birthday.
G. Bu congratulations ....how much did you loose?
Happy Birthday. What did you eat?
The first day, I just ate an apple to prepare my body. Remaining days jusy water. I loose 3 kgs. My waist line got smaller by inch or 2.
G. Bu drink snake juice (electrolyte water) to have stomach ready and keep salts up
Wow! Good for you!
Started out on a 48 hour fast, wasn't hungry so I didnt eat. I'm now at 55 hours, I'll eat when I'm hungry💪🏽. I feel great🙏🏼

60 hours into my fast. Not even trying. Just going to see where this could go. But i have been doing 1-3 day fasts for a while. And have just eliminated added sugars, processed sugars, non natural carbs. And been hitting the gym. Being strict has been the best thing for me. Im down from 333 lbs to 277 lbs in 5 months
Right on brother
@@Undertalepotatochip thank you!
i do it to keep my alcohol & drug addiction under control & it’s been working . im too hangry about when i gotta eat i don’t get drug cravings . a real blessing for me
Same here for alcohol. How are you doing now?
Smart smart man
I took 7g of mushrooms and the “trip” turned me off of alcohol. Made me question why I even drank in the first place.
@@n8liftslessthanyou he never answered but I'm similar. Practically I'm 8 months "sober" via carnivore with OMAD 20-23 hours. Recently had a hiccup and drank again but it was "under control" but I know this trap and I'm sure you do too. So after 3 days back on the wagon and decided a 3 day fast and 30 hours in no issues other than normal discomfort. Well I hope your path works for ya. It's not easy but nothing we can't accomplish
I did 36 last week and I’m gonna go for 48! I was so proud of myself lol! Mostly I wanna just enjoy what I eat again and be present - and appreciate food. Fasting really makes me feel more present and overall just grateful for the food in front of me!
First.
Wow… exact same here. Did a 36 (well, ended up being 40) hour fast last week. So I thought “why not try 48?” And that’s what I’m doing now
@@koalawithchaingun53 Awesome! I just finished a 42-hour fast, and am regretting that I didn't just go the remaining six hours to make it a full 48-hour fast. But now I know how easy it is! I had done intermittent fasting for two weeks prior to the 42-hour and I think it made it a lot easier.
such a good point
Did a 28 day water fast once for Lyme disease!!!
I did a 48 hour fast yesterday, it wasn’t as bad as I thought I was. I usually do a 24 hour fast and I manifested I’d complete a 48 hour fast. I was planning to do 24, then 29 but when I was at 29 I knew I could keep going so I did. Keep hydrated guys! You can do it
Does fasting improve sleep quality? I’m insomniac and I don’t wanna take sleeping pills. I’ve literally tried everything out there but nothing seems to work. I haven’t done fasting, so I wanna see if that could help improve my sleep.
@@tyrese5089 I would give it a shot. It helps with many things. It’s very possible it will help your sleep.
@@jasoncora1 thanks for your reply but I recently did a home sleep study for sleep apnea.
If you workout during fast and sleep after you'll sleep like a baby
This is encouraging. I’m 24hours into the fast and trying to extend as long as I can
I just did a 50 hour to atone for my thanksgiving sins.
Lol! Thanks for watching!
I understand the reason for this
ZaneTube 5000 - Giving Thanks is never a sin. 😇
But I hear what you’re saying! 😄
I ended up a little more "filled" after the weekend, and decided not to eat yesterday. I plan to start with a lean meal after lifting weights this afternoon.
I just did a 60 fast for same thing plus had been feeling bloated before Thanksgiving
Best way to complete a 48-hour fast without thinking of food : play your favorite video game for most of your awake time. I'm serious. The time will fly by.
Video gaming gets a bad rap because of the way people abuse it. I'll be 54 this year and gaming is keeping my mind sharp.
The worst part is I can’t sleep at all during a 48 hour fast. Makes it last much longer.
Read, listen to audios of life coaches, clean whatever you can, go to the museum, watch action movies and thrillers with no commericials, go on walking trails, do volunteer work, stay from home and far from food as often as possible.

The longest I’ve done is 120 hours or 5 days. I felt great and reset my body, mind, and emotions. I’ve been fasting for years. Longest are 15 day juice fast, 11 day water fast, and a little over 5 hour fry fast. I also do short fasts every so often and intermittent as well. It’s all good. Just have to make sure you change your lifestyle or you will go back to eating same foods.

I've been practicing 24 hr fast 1x a week, 72 hr 1x per month and 7 day fast 1x per quarter and I've experienced so many benefits, including never getting sick over the past year and improvements in my skin. When I come off of a 72+ hour fast it gives me so much confidence and motivation and bolsters my self-discipline in all areas of my life. There's just really so much to be said for feeling as though you're not being mastered by anything. I really enjoy fasting. Plus the joys of delayed gratification are insane. It helps to be more intentional with food; even those bland re-feeding foods are SO intensely delicious after 7 days. I eat slowly just to enjoy the amazing experience. I love the reset.
I was just thinking of fasting how you fast. I was thinking of pulling a7 at the start of each season
I'm trying to do a 3 day fast every week
Wow, I’m doing 32h dry fast every week
And thinking of a longer one but with less frequency - once a month I guess
I don’t need to drop weight - u really like my shape. It’s more of mental training.
That is so encouraging to hear
Well said! You have pointed out other benefits that are not talked about. Yes, its a life changer.
Fasting for 42 hours for the first time this week totally relieved me of anxiety. I feel like a different person. It’s weird and great. I will be keeping it up.I think anxiety comes from the gut.
Good job!!! I’m 24 hours into a 48 hour water fast and I’m holding tight! My body just switched over to burning ketones! 💪🏻👍🤙🏻 Any tips to make it the next 24 hours? I’m surprisingly not that hungry either!
@@slowjamcdub black coffee can fuel some very long fasts if you consider it a "clean" option while on a fast

How do you do it? how long do you fast and how long your eating window?
I like this approach, personally I don't really count hours anymore, just days.
@@defeqel6537 thank you for the reply, I will try that, I have difficulty to loose weight on 18/6 or 20/4, hopefully alternate day will help
@@ArdiMuluk it wasn't easy to get used to, it took me 2 years of omad to realize I needed longer fasts to get the results I am after. I also incorporated keto to help me get appetite correction. I fast 42 and I'm not going to lie, it's not always easy. I drink lots of mineral water, green tea and coffee during the fast. Stay busy and keep your eye on the prize.
I have been fasting for a few years. Gradually going into different types and lengths. From 3 day juice fast, to 3 day dry fast, to a 40 day water fast. Fasting is a blessing and a secret weapon!
40 days???? I thought you die around 30 days of no food
@@Matt-ox2qc Every situation is different. For me, as a follower of Jesus, I only fast when prompted to do so in faith. When I’ve tried to fast without instruction from the Lord, I’m like unable to. There’s no grace for it. It’s really difficult. So I’m not sure what others perspectives are. The health benefits are real, but they’re not my main purpose or pursuit typically.
@@Matt-ox2qc I managed 37 days. I was cautious and through a lot of research handled it pretty well (I was cranky for the first 7-10 days but after that I adjusted, lol). The MOST important thing is to make sure to supplement with electrolytes and to make sure you are supervised by a doctor who is knowledgeable. I did it on my own and was fine but it can be very dangerous.
were you ill at all with 40 days? Wow, well done by the way 🙂.
@@annereilly1056 I was not. But finishing the 40 days I had trouble breaking the fast. My body needed electrolytes so I went to the hospital for an iv. I recommend seeking wise council, and if you’re a Christian following Jesus in a fast for spiritual reasons, then I recommend accountability and confirmation through whatever spiritual covering/leadership is in your life. Be humble; fasting isn’t a competition. And your body is a temple. It needs to be cared for and nurtured. Not neglected or abused. If you’re motive is for physical reasons and not spiritual then I recommend going through a medical professional and seeking council and guidance through them. Either way, medical professionals are there to help and assist so seek their guidance too! I sought a doctor on one of my fasts and with their words I went forward with it in confidence, though the idea for fasting was rooted in my faith and spiritual reasons. This is more so a public comment for all to see! :) Use discretion and take care of your body 👍🏼
I try to do a 40 hour fast weekly, and the rest of the days I do 17 hour fasts. I have about 65 lbs to lose, but after researching fasting, I also love the healing and autophagy. I used to suffer from ulcer pain in my stomach for years and years. Since starting on an intermittent fasting lifestyle, my stomach has completely healed. I used to binge eat and feel addicted to candy and potato chips. After becoming a faster, I crave absolutely none of that anymore. It has been AMAZING. I feel so clean and strong after 40 hours of fasting. I will get to 48 hours someday, but for now, 40 hours feels right for me :)
Update?
@GodofThicc912 I actually now do a 40 hour fast every 3 days. I have an 8 hour eating window 2 days in a row (usually 11 am- 7 pm) then fast for the entire 3rd day and night, which brings me to 40 hours, then opens my eating window again at 11 am on the 4th day. I have lost 30 lbs and feel so strong, healthy and energized! Headaches, foot pain and gastritis I used to suffer from are gone. I will keep this up until I hit my goal weight then I will scale back a bit.
@@NessaK1981awesome job! Ive lost nearly 20 lbs in the past month cutting out alcohol, eating better, fasting and exercising but i still get massive cravings for snacks in the evening. Coming home is the toughest part of the day.
Why do they not recommend 72 hour fasting once a week ?
I feel super good. My blood work is good.
Anyone doing 48 to 72 hour fast weekly til weight loss is achieved ?
Given my lifestyle it is not too hard for me to do a 48 hour fast every week. I am just starting, three weeks already. I feel less bloated, SEEM to have lost a few ounces. My stomach has shrunk so I get sated faster. I am hoping that doing THIS will allow me to eat what I want(NOT MacDonalds)while losing weight and staying healthy.
Started Friday at 5:15 pm it’s Sunday at 9:30. Feeling so much better. Not hungry. I was anxious but started watching YT and realized I was eating out of fear of not having access to food. Once I learned more, I implemented mind over matter and my life is transformed along with my mind. I’m at 42 and was depressed every time I looked at myself in the mirror. I can do this and so can anyone reading this post! Mind over matter is a real thing!
We eat out of habit. After you fast for three days you actually stop feeling hunger. Afterwards I have stopped being hungry, or maybe it is just it doesn't affect me? My problem is with mind clarity. Sorry but I just don't feel it, lol, I am thinking too much about how I am not eating, and maybe about something tasty I want to eat later.
I recently started longer fasts and once I pass the 28 hr mark, my hunger is totally gone. 48 is a sweet spot. Any longer and I suffer metabolically later in the week. My ketones get high during my fast and even after I break my fast, they are actually higher the next day. I wake up with glucose in the low 60’s, ketones above 2, and then I find I drop about 3-4 lbs within the next 3 days.
This is big for me because I am 57, have RA and Hashimoto’s and had my metabolism destroyed by years of veganism and prescription steroids for my joints. Only 48 hr fasting has been helping restore my metabolism, soothe my joint inflammation, and lose weight. I have lost 120+ lbs but been in a 2 year plateau with 2 rounds of steroids this year for inflamed ribs and sternum with a fever. Only recently have I begun losing weight again. I have 30 more lbs to go. I won’t give up.

Hello ! How much weight did you lose?
How often?
"You won't get addicted to fasting." That's no joke! Sure does give a great reset point for bad habits though!
I'm almost addicted!
After reading through a lot of the comments I am impressed with the commitment that so many people are putting into taking control of their body and their health. Count me in as well.
When I was losing my weight I did OMAD 6 days a week with a 48 hour fast by skipping Monday’s. It was great and hope me get 125 pounds off

On your one meal a day do you eat your daily calories? And how long did that take you? Congrats! That’s sooo amazing
What time frame was this In because that is awesome
@@byoungermama You really need to try and get all of your nutritional needs met. So yea, eat all of your calories, or as close as you can, in the one meal.
Hi CDUB 🙌
Not sure if I can do this because I can't eat anything more than a small amount in one sitting. So if I only eat one meal a day I might be eating some vegetables dipped in hummus and a handful of blueberries before I'm full. I refuse to gorge myself, so I've had to stick to a two or three-hour eating window in order to get in enough calories.
For the first nine minutes, I was thinking I want to do this but can't face 48 hours on chamomile tea. When he got to the bit where he says 'Consume black coffee as normal,' I literally punch the air and yelled 'Yes!!' Definitely going to give this a go.
I just did my first fast longer than 30 hours. I made it to 70 hours, was aiming for 72 but still it’s a win! It really did reset me. I was grazing so much and snacking. Now I’m back to 2 meals and one snack.
I have done 40-48 hour fasts with a refeed day incorporating a Keto style diet for 3 weeks now. Down 16 pounds in 3 weeks from 185 to 169. I truly believe the 48 hour fast is where its at. I dont see much results from a 16-24 hr fast.
Agree

The balance you strike between being informative, kind but realistic and firm is like nothing else I've ever seen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Good work! 👏
Good work Imogen can we get an update at all? Got any tips
I just did 5 days. Felt good after day 2. Broke the fast with a couple eggs, some salami, cheddar cheese, and olive oil fried up. ...And a couple pickled asparagus spears after. I wasn't sure that was a good choice, but a couple hours later I feel great!
I’ve been doing I.F. For 7 months now thanks to your videos (down 80 lbs) and I’m doing my first 48 hour fast starting in 2 hours....thanks for helping me get the information I need to change my life!
You cannot use the same hours / timeline for everyone as it depends on how fat adapted someone is. A 48 hour fast for a supremely fat adapted endurance athlete is going to be very different from someone who is on the SAD diet and terribly suffering from metabolic syndrome, for example.
What a helpful video - my husband and I are halfway through our first 48 hour fast, and your videos have given us great guidance. Thanks, Thomas. So appreciate all you do.
every time i hesitate about my keto journey, i watch Thomas's Videos and literally is so recharging and motivated that i feel back on track! thanks for this Thomas and your Team ♡
Just finished an 80 hour fast. Lost 4 pounds that didn’t come back after eating again for the last 2 days. Can’t wait to weigh again tomorrow!
Watching this video while 43.5 hours into my 48 hour fast. 4.5 hours to go!!
Doing a 48 fast before I start alternate day fasting. I want to be in ketosis before I start. Trying to lose weight before Air Force OTS. I'm hoping to get mental clarity, better focus, less cravings etc. I've been doing 18:6 IF on and off for months sometimes getting up to 20 and 21 hours fasting. I'm excited. Saw a comment on another video saying they implemented IF into their fish's diet and the fish lived so long.
Don't let anyone discourage you! So many videos saying this is fad and this is starvation,they're lying and want unhealthy ppl. Those big pharma myths are real! They literally make money off unhealthy ppl who depend on medicine. Heal your bodies!
I don't drink coffee but green tea, salt water with lemon, lime or acv will really keep you going.
Love how you explain. Been following for a short time but have learned so much. Tried the 24 hour, now feel ready for a 48 hour one
First time Im doing prolonged fasting! I'm 84 hrs into my 96 hrs fast at the moment.
I do a wet fasting, drinking herbal drink and black coffee with Himalayan salt! Not feeling tired at all. No dizziness. I can't exercise though, just going to work normally and running the household cooking for family etc. Surprising I dont feel attempted to eat food. So far I lost 4.7 kg.
OMG I never knew this benefits b4. Thank u. 🙏
Ik this was a while ago but How did you break this fast?
@@mlx9094 if I could turn back the clock I may not ve done it. I did the prolonged fast twice and it messed up my hormone. My period was v late next month, I entered Perimenopause too soon at 43 yrs. My metabolism slowed down as my hormone dropped.I may ve put my body into famine mode. When I broke my fast I wanted to eat everything. I ended up putting on 1 stone 1-2 months after. Still trying to lose that weight, not easy now with Perimenopause. 😓😥
MLx I’m no expert but if you are a woman I would advice only doing 48 - 60 hour fasts as to not effect your hormones
@@caitlinmcdonough4345 I wished I knew that b4! Now I'm eating no oil, more good carbohydrates and veg. My hormones feels better, getting regular period again. Also losing back half a stone without dieting. Eating regular 3 meals a day, gentle jog! No more prolonged fasting!
20 hours into a 48 hour fast, so determined to do this and watching these kind of videos really helps!
Doing 22:2. This Weekend i try 36h. And maybe in 3 or 4 Weeks i try 48h. I love fasting. It heales ALL my sugarcravings. Now iam a Person who functions totally normal. Cut out all crap foods, all Candy bars, giving up smoking and alcohol. And the best … giving up Diet Coke After 30 Years drinking this shit for the first Time in my Life. Diet Coke was like heroin for me. Iam so happy. Fasting changed my life forever. No more Binge eating. Now iam healing my Liver, fix my cortisol and maybe my Insulinresistence.
David Sinclair saved my life. Now iam starting to love my body.
A good time to start a 24 hour fast is at 6pm.you can have a light or normal meal, before starting.go to bed say 10 or 11,get up say 6am,do your normal day,then eat at 6pm.not to hard on the body.good luck.
What's wrong with diet coke?
@@devonlatrell5767 I hope you’re kidding!
@@bloubrown802 if I was I wouldn't ask
Well done!
Thank you for being a public warrior on fasting, I want more people to understand they can do this and live better, healthier lives!
I just survived a nearly 24-hour fast today and now I am thinking about a 48-hour one! Never thought I would survive a fast longer than 16 hours! I am getting strong (thanks to you, Thomas)!
MissPersia8 What do you eat when you break a longer(ish) fast, say 24hrs or more?
@@Peter-ri9ie I break my fast with bone broth; that is when I have some ready at hand. Where I live they don't come in a can and I have to buy the bones and boil them over night and go through a couple of more steps, but it is totally worth it. I follow Thomas's guidelines and wait 30 mins before eating one third of my meal, and then wait another 60 mins and then have the rest of my meal. And doing the workouts while fasted, my, that has worked miracles in my life!
MissPersia8 thanks! 🙏🏻
@@Peter-ri9ie You are very welcome ^_^
In hour 42 on my 48hour fast. I feel awesome. Thank you for wonderful information.
Hi Thomas! I started out with 16-8 fasting protocol, over the summer months, and went from 210lbs -185lbs. Recently took things up a notch and have had a go at alternate day fasting, and I'm about 2 weeks in, and feeling great. Although its not about weight loss anymore, I am staying on board for the other benefits. Thank you for all you do. Don't think I've ever said it, but you have been a tremendous inspiration to me. Thank you.
Thomas I really miss having a summary of the video in the description, it was really helpful to have that to refer back to after the video, please go back to having it
Yes please!
I am 20 hours into my 48, watching this. Great motivation and helped confirm what I am doing is not crazy.
Thomas, I found your YT videos recently. You have a unique way of expressing yourself with the material your presenting. I have made a habit of watching your videos daily to help my journey to improving my health and longevity. With 40 lbs loss the next 30 lbs will be with your helpful videos. Thanks for sharing
I am 67 yrs old man and use18/6 eating most days a once a week a 40 plus hour fast.
This has enabled me to keep my weight in check for almost 2 yrs after losing 70 lbs on a keto diet. I am not strict keto anymore but maintaining. You and others on youtube have helped a lot.
Great video Thank you!!
Thanks to your videos for introducing me to fasting and its health benefits, I was finally able to achieve a 48 hours fast three weeks ago! I really appreciate your quality content. Your channel is in no small part responsible for my 60 pounds weight loss that I achieved this year. You're doing good work and helping people, keep it up :)
Congrats!!
I’m 31 hours into my first 48 hour fast. It’s a lot easier than I imagined.
Keeping electrolytes up, prior and during fasting makes it a Breeze
@@jorgeguerrero4353 True. Plus, I drink hot water or tea quite a bit to help keep that full feeling...good, but not too full to exercise.
@@jorgeguerrero4353 how do you keep electrolytes up during fasting when you can't have any intakes? Thought you can only take I'm water, or black coffee or tea (with no sugars/milk) ect.
@@finnneilson6229 salt
Keeping busy also helps. Sitting around the house when all you can think about is food is recipe for disaster
I love the comments! I too am fasting at the moment. 47.25 hours in so far!
My husband and I are faithful students of yours we started following you in March 2022 and as of today my husband have lost 42 pounds and I have lost 30 pounds.We just want to thank you because, you have truly been a blessing in our lives.
We have been trying different weight loss remedies for the last 4 years, we will lose weight and gain it back over and over again.
Since we have discovered you we have been able to loss weight and keep it off an our energy level is out the roof. Once again we want to thank you and hopefully meet you one day, Keep doing what you do.
I Love all your videos! I did the Keto for a month. Now I am in love with the plant based diet but want to try fasting. Thanks again! keep it up with this great work!
This is perfect timing. About to finish my 100 hr fast tomorrow and have been deciding what to do next. I am down 54 pounds and have 36 to 46 more to go. Hearing studies and benefits is very beneficial 👊❤️
100!? NICE !!
100 wtf lady

@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial thank you
@@rdrake316 right lol
Very informative & well made video. Thanks Thomas, you are super insightful & a great content content creator
24 hours into my first 48 hour 💪 Needed some motivation and encouragement... Boy did you come through!
The first time is the hardest. Then you actually stop being hungry. Lol, and your stomach shrinks so you get full faster. It is not that I am losing weight fast but I feel lighter and with more energy. I am a lazy person so I just combine fasting with some light, regular exercise and I THINK I am doing well. Without much effort.
I love all this hard to find perfect science. Youre such a professional
I fasted so hard I'm the fastest one here
Dr Deadbeat .... Confirmed. You’re the fastedest guy I know of.
Fastedest
My name is Barry Allen and I'm the most fasted man alive.
Lol
your'e lady agrees.
My longest was 10 days 240 hours. It was monolithic will power, had energy, my ankles weren't swollen, and I fit better in my shirts. I never ceased being hungry. After the 10 day mark it was like I was a bit drunk with wobbly walking, and head ache. and broke the fast at 240 hours binging on red grapes and green salad.
I've done a 6 day water fast and it was great, while going to gym too! Super clarity and strength !
did you do any cardio at all?? im aftaid to do cardio but ok with weights
I am loving your videos...I just did my first 48 hour fast...been doing keto and fasting and lost 30.4 pounds so far on my weightloss journey...learn so much from you...thank you🙂🙂🙂

I love fasting as part of a diet and exercise regimen. The longest fast I have completed was 21 days and a typical monthly fast for myself is 24-48 hrs. Intermittent fasting is another tool that I have found helpful for daily eating. Great video and great information. Kombucha green tea, lots of water, and long walks prevent/mitigate headache symptoms.
Thank you Thomas- that was such a great explanation but you go one step further in making us even more motivated.
Thanks Thomas - great info .....I love the 48 hour fast - one of my favorites.....long enough to see / feel amazing results but not too long (right, the 72 + hour range) to grind you where you feel totally depleted. I love working out fasted in the 30-40 hour zone / range.....its the perfect range where your fasted and burning stored fat but still have the energy left to nail your workouts !
I have been doing OMAD and usually fast 22-23 hours per day. I feel amazing! Initially I was going to just try this out for a week but now I'm on week 2. My plan is to do a 48 fast once per month. It cant hurt giving your body time to rest.
Great to see you chat with Derek (More Plates More Dates). He’s a valuable resource.thanks for the great material.
I really love the way you just not only give the information but with a lot of research backup ... thank you so much because of you I just have only watch your video but don’t have to the research myself
Perfect timing! I’ve been doing back to back 48s for about 2 weeks
48 hour fasts are awesome!
You can tell hes fasting. Those pauses are him experiencing the spiritual side.
Well I am 24 hours into my first 48 hr fast - wish me luck! Great video to help understand the "why", which helped me with decision to give it a proper try.
You provide every information with scientific examples, clear explanation and good presentation. I started keto 2 weeks ago and lost 7.5 kgs. Thank you Thomas. Love from India❤️.
I have to fast at least 36+ hours to start noticing a difference physically, that's why ADF works wonderfully for me, but consistency and discipline is the issue.
Just completed my 48 hour fast 🎉
How’d u feel??
I’m 24 hours into a 48 hour water fast and I’m holding tight! My body just switched over to burning ketones! 💪🏻👍🤙🏻 Any tips to make it the next 24 hours? I’m surprisingly not that hungry either!
I love you brother ❤️ there is so much blessings you get from helping people
I’ve been intermittent fasting since June 1. Started at 16:8. Now I’ve settled into a routine. I work 3 twelve hour shifts a week. On the days I work, I do 16:8 and my days off I do OMAD. I also work out in a fasted state on my days off. Because I’m going from a 16:8 to an OMAD, on the first day off, I end up doing a 28 hour fast about twice a week. This weekend I ended up doing a 52 hour fast. Longest fast I’ve ever done. I’m so proud of myself. 😊
And so far I’ve lost 62 pounds. The best part is that this feels like something I can do for a long time to come. 👍

yeah...I was really afraid that I might not want to break my fast,thanks for reassuring me it wouldn't happpen
I enjoy the way I feel when I fast, however, when I eat (especially quality food) 😂... my mouth has a party and everything tastes 10 times better!
@@justinstutler4070 no shit, im doing omad and keto(mostly carnivore) and occasional fasting
My girlfriend always eats whatever she wants
I always smell her food, yesterday she ate a choco joghurt and i smelled the shit out of it
Couldnt believe it
@@justinstutler4070 True. And the smells are heaven.
Love your videos! Always my go to video before anyone else. Refer you to many who ask for help. Love the fact they are quality over quantity. 48 years old and I have doing low carb-keto-IF-OMAD for almost two years, lost 54 pounds and am as lean as I was in my college athletic days. One thing I have not done is a 48 hour fast, considering trying this before the 4th of July. Thank you!
Watching this video during my first 48 hour fast! 24 hours in….24 to go! This video has me inspired! Going to make a pot of coffee! I don’t feel any hunger pangs. I am not lightheaded. I am following the ketogenic lifestyle and IF. I decided to try the 48 hour fast as I heard it also helps with inflammation. I am down 60lbs from March 2021 when I started my weight-loss healthy lifestyle journey. THANK YOU 🙏 THOMAS 😊
I'm getting back on Keto after the holidays so this sounds like a good way to transition and change my diet.
Awesome 👏🏾 video! Never thought of doing a 48 fast, now I’m considering it. Currently doing 16/8 20/4. Thanks for all these bomb informational videos!!
Thanks for watching! and check it out!
Well.. currently fasting and at 31 hours so far. Thanks for the video. Keeps you more focused and great information
Thomas you really helped me to move forward with at least a 48 hour fast. I’m already doing really good but I went Keto 2 weeks prior to this fast and feel a lot better fasting. My prior fasting attempt lead to a really bad migraine 26 hours into it but NOT THIS TIME! Wooooo thanks again!
Straight up, I've learned more from this channel than any other resource, hands down. You do an amazing service, and I appreciate it very much
Thanks for watching!
Watch Cole Robinson! Snake diet!!
This video is a straight up copy of Cole Robinson's (snake diet, etc)
@@Algorithm. I think Thomas Delauer gets more in depth and into the science than Cole Robinson. Cole is still good though
I really appreciate your content, Thomas.
I’m on keto and IF 20/4 about one and half month, but not losing lower belly .So I decide to try long term fasting. Now I’m over 48 hours and planing to keep it for another 18 hours before break. Belly shrink a lot on the second day. I’m taking trace minerals, sea salt , green tea and apple acid vinegar drink. And doing strength training less than 30 mins. This’s my first time. Thomas’s videos are huge help
