One thing people rarely talk about is how fasting changes you as a person. I started fasting for weight/health, but after every long term fast I notice my goals are different, my habits are different, my values are different. Fasting is a metamorphosis for the body, mind and spirit.
The reason no one talks about it "changing you mind" is because there is no factual evidence that would support that. We can measure how people feel but that will most likely be up to placebo than the fasting. Fasting is not a metamorphosis. Its a good physiological and psychological trick to loose weight and not feel hunger. A lazy person wont become productive cause of fasting. If you want change there is a higher chance youll change. That is due to you and not the fasting.
@@ienjoyapples subjective experiences can and ar measured objectively by asking multiple people the same questions. And you stated it as a fact. "Fasting I a metamorphosis..."

i literally get this so much, it’s so nice. feels grounding. you literally feel everything to the extent of miles. it’s because when you eat your mind is distracted. most people eat to suppress feelings and thoughts. so when you take the food away your left with feelings and thoughts lol. glad you feel the same. hope for you to continue to feel the state of consciousness, don’t let it die out:,)

Do a genetics test and check your diet before. It can easily have been that your body metabolizes ketones more easily and that your gut was inflamed from all the sugar and bad fats hidden in common food. It doesnt "unlock" anything. A lot of people walk around with inflamed brains and guts which obviously has a negative impact on their mental health. eat like shit, feel like shit .
@@Darlemonte Youre not unlocking anything, If you grease an engine so it runs smoother you havent unlocked anything, youre still using the same engine.
I did my first ever fast in April 2022. It was a full 30 day water fast and lost about 40 pounds. After giving my body adequate recovery time, I am going to do a 72 hour rolling fast. No food Mon - Wed and eat clean keto Thurs - Sunday. I was a little sad that I had to eat after the 30 day fast. I never felt better. No pain in my joints, high energy, etc. I am a great fan of fasting now.
RealKey your body’s systems are always working , take it like this after a gym workout you need rest so when fasting you are giving your digestive system a rest from food. Then your hormones start to balance out and then the body’s immune system gets really strong and starts to detox and clean everything.
I think it's better to fast the 72 hours from Thursday 6pm to Sunday 6pm. This way you refuel just in time for normal workouts on M, T, W, Th. You also avoid the weekend cheat meal BS and binging BS that takes place on weekends if you've been fasting all week.
Just ended a 5 day hardcore military drill, amolst no food the entire time. Thought I was gonna loose gains, instead I come home (albeit tired) 10 pounds lighter and more ripped and muscular. Elliott might be on to something.
You have lost gains. Physiologically impossible to lose weight and keep all your muscles. But the difference in your body weight might have made up for the loss in muscle. I lose about about 5-10kg a year and my squat always goes up by almost the same amount. Cause the total weight lifted is the same.
Depending on how much carbohydrates you eat before a fast you can get depleted as soon as 12 hours or less, depending on if that meal the night before was low in carbohydrates. Keto also is recommended before a fast to get your body fat adapted prior to a fast and makes dealing with hunger easier.
I fasted 6 days and was losing 3 lbs per day... I ended up losing over 85 lbs in a little over 2 months. Fasting absolutely works great and you feel amazing. Your body turns on some sort of survival mode and you feel so awesome. It makes you realize how much the shit you are eating is making you feel terrible. (at least for me)... Unfortunately, You will gain it back as soon as you start eating, unless you intentionally change your diet.

@@lyricssong7151 Not at all.

Secondly-- when you fast, it makes your skin shrink with it. Look up a video from channel called: "what I've learned" -- video named: "fasting vs eating less" -- he goes over a lot of stuff in that video; including talking about a man that fasted for 383 days straight-- he went from 460 lbs, to 180 lbs in that time. And one of the craziest things is that his skin shrank with his weight loss-- he had no floppy skin/ granted, he looked like a totally different person.
I went 6 days pretty effortlessly. losing 3 lbs per day. I would make your goal a full 7 day week. You can easily do it. It will not hurt you. Just make sure you drink plenty of water. I always take a multi-vitiman per day also, just to make sure.
@@brandonmoses895 Sure.. Just make sure you are drinking plenty of water and if you're putting in a lot of hard work, make sure you are adding salt.. Like at least a teaspoon per every liter of water you drink. I was losing 3lbs a day without even working out.. I later started adding 30 mins--- some sit ups and leg raises.. and some squats... and I got a treadmill to get some running in... But most of that was after my fast... Look up "snake diet" -- he explains the salt part pretty clearly... Also look up "what i've learned" channel --- he has a video about fasting that is very good.
I mean... what can you lose in 72 hours? 3 times your TDEE. For a regular person, that at most 1 kg of body fat. 1 kg of body fat is always worth about 7700 kcal saved.
For me... Water fasting for 6 days--- I was consistently losing 3lbs per day. and that's drinking a lot of water (and one multi-vitiman per day)... I was able to lose over 85 lbs in a little over 2 months. I've slowly gained 20lbs back since then... I need to start another fast. I'm so ready.
@@Bigbro123r5 Look up the man that went 383 days without eating... (I would link it, but youtube wont' let me). He did it while under medical supervision and its all documented. We can go much longer than you think without food. Water on the other hand, is only a few days.. and only a few minutes without air and you're dead.
@@sednasix6608 I talk about fat, not body weight. You can lose all kinds of water and stomach content, but what good does it do? A kg of body fat is always around 7700 kcal not eatten.
That's right Elliot, I'm on a 72 right now. I made some Snake Juice, using pink salt and potassium chloride, half a teaspoon of each in 28 oz of water (use 1 - 3 pinches more salt than Potassium)
Get keto strips. I'm doing rolling 72s. Ketosis happens way faster than 72 especially if you continue to train on days 1 and 2 of the Fast. I do weights in morning and Cardio at night.
Yoo Elliott Truly you have influenced my life for many years I’ve always wanted to come to your camp ie: sorry 8 years ago Through your videos I’ve become very successful not only in fitness but in my career I just want to say thank you and god bless
I agree, 3 days is just to break the habit and starving! After that surprisingly you lose that hung (ketosis) which is cool and you feel like you can fast for a year but then that energy comes and goes.
Hey Elliot. I've made amazing progress with the fasting program that you made. 72hs seems to be the limit of my body so far. I will try to push it further in the future. Just wanted to say thanks, I lost a ton of weight and began a new healthy cycle of my life (I eat mainly keto now.)
A buddy of mine was talking to me about his 72 hr fasting. Had me interested, then I find this video, I’m gonna have to try the OMAD first, never fast before
Yeah man I’ve been doing OMAD for about 2 weeks without even knowing about this 72 hr fasting and I feel like I found this vid at the perfect time to start! Let’s get it sonnnn and trust me if I can do it you can too ;)
Did 48 hr fasts twice a week for like a month, tried to switch to the McDonald PSMF diet, epic fail now I’m finally back into fasting but instead of 48hrs twice a week, I’m doing rolling 72s, I’m on hour 66 and omg I feel amazing!!!
I believe there is a lot of evidence that autophagy kicks in between 24-48 hours, not 72. In fact, from what I have read, when you reach that 60-72 hr mark is when your body may begin to consume muscle for energy whereas prior to that, it is still using fat, etc... This is why this topic is frustrating cause there are still a lot of unanswered questions.
@@awwa8923 Actually Cole Robinson of the Snake Diet channel does sometimes drink his piss and tells us how we can do it too. Piss is sterile, tastes like warm beer. It tastes better than tonic water atleast.
If you feel dizzy add salt to the water. Start eating small portions after the fast. Especially when you fast longer than 3 days. Refeeding syndrome can occur after 5 day fasts so be careful and eat just a bit after the fasts. Listen to your body
There’s a reason why in the Bible it saids that you should fast for 3 days to get closer to god ! I’m not a nutty Christian but my life has changed and I’ve had one too many “coincidences” (direct signs!) while fasting. I encourage everyone to try it !
As a Muslim , it is encouraged to dry fast no food and water twice a week on Monday and Thursday to reset the body and mind. Even fasting during Ramadan , I feel amazing and a lot stronger physically and mentally.
Thomas Cogger that’s what they tell you, they used to tell you that eating breakfast is a must but now everyone knows that you don’t have to eat breakfast .
Yes.. If you go more that a couple days without water, you will die. Always drink water. Fasting without water is called dying. and you'll die fairly quickly from dehydration. you can go much longer without food. (look up the man that went 383 days without eating)
snake juice: salt water water mixed with sodium chloride and potassium chloride is what you drink you can dry fast, but dont unless you have a malady you need to heal, dry fasting is not for the faint of heart
So when do you start eating again? If ai got it right, you don’t eat Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and eat again on Thursday? Or you skip Monday and Tuesday and est on Wednesday?
Great information in this.,. Information is very limited... be good for you to share more fasting and maybe blog your experience over a month.. anyways great video and great information
@@tangaraspeedgoda7436 Sure it does. the rate at which you regain energy is affected on ketosis. Carbohydrates are far better for short term bursts. like working out in the gym and sprinting. But you think a person can lose 6 kilos 3 days. so you clearly arent someone to listen to.
@@Bruce.Wallace yeah I tried it out and for cardio it really doesn't make any difference. Then a nice heavy workout after when youve eaten and have increased growth hormone If you wanna Min Max it to death
Question: I know it sounds pathetic but could you give advice on how to deal with being ugly as fuck. I feel like I can't express my true essence to people because my face doesn't represent it. Not to mention attracting any female. Isn't physical attractiveness an integral charasteristic of what God made to be a man? I feel like shooting myself everytime I look in the mirror and all motivation to be the strongest version of myself vanishes because my internal voice conflicts so strongly with my physical essence. I also have severe joint pain and cannot build muscle. I've been robbed of the most basic level of what it means to be a man: the physical level.
I feel you bro im ugly too and stress alot about life which caused me to have many gray hairs at age 15 and in pretty sure im gonna be bald soon too. My only cope is gym but that can take me only so far
Sorry about what you are going through. I believe reading Pyscho-Cybernetics May help. Wish you all the best and hoping you find peace in your existence as you are here for a reason. I hope you find that reason soon and the peace you need to see your true value.
If anything it sounds like you need to change your internal. It’s negative and conflicting. You said “I can’t express my true essence to people because my face doesn’t represent it”. You have an ideal that you’re holding onto in your head, of how person A(“true essence” acts. But internally you view yourself as person B. You need to change your internal dialogue first. The world is a mirror of your thoughts, conscious and subconcious. Once you change your thoughts you will change your life. Stop labelling yourself as “ugly”. That sounds simple. To just stop right? How about you change your perspective, beauty and ugliness are mere opinions, time changes and so do your looks for better and for worse. Lastly, from your last sentence “Iv been robbed”. You’re playing a victim role in your life, like life owes you something and you have been robbed. The best you can do is to see the cards you’ve been dealt and play the best damn game you can play with those cards. That takes more courage, to accept and own what you cannot change but use it to your advantage. In conclusion, take control of your life and your emotions(there are many tools to do this). Step 2, meditate go for walks clear your head get off social media for a few hours and listen to your thoughts, are they negative? Confront them, understand them, change them. Step 3, don’t take other people’s opinions to heart, people are to busy focused on their own insecurities and issues to care about yours. And if they do point something out, again it is just a reflection on themselves. Take care and be kind to yourself.
Ain’t about looks fella we all gods people living same demons ain’t going to be anything new, work usual 9-5 be enslaved to freedom be treated like dogs with collars on! It’s a hard drive to figure out what’s the best solution but that is trying your heart to it’s best bro keep hold of your emotions never let the enemy overcome, on the bright side least we ain’t women who have gotten worse as the years go by 🙁 stay story bro

You mentioned it vaguely, but do you have any advice on fasting vs dry fasting? The last time I did 72 hours, I think I made myself sick towards the end drinking too much Mineral Water.
So, I have been fasting on and off usually a day or 2. but I've decided to lock in a specific schedule. I was thinking of fasting 3 days, eating a keto meal, then fast 3 more days and so on. getting exercise in while fasting. I haven't seen anyone talk about a fast schedule this intense and wonder what others think about it, what are possible side effects. I will be taking vitamins and vitamin B complex with my meal, heavy in protein as well. My goal is to lose 20lbs more so it isnt something I am doing long term.
Definitely have water. You don’t want to dehydrate yourself. Dry fasting isn’t recommended. Make sure you are getting electrolytes with your water. Either by powder or adding salt. Stay away from sugary drinks like sport drinks as that defeats the purpose of fasting.
What about workouts during the 72 hours of fasting? I thought we needed protein to maximize results and achieve proper muscle recovery? honest question and thanks to anyone in advance for a serious answer.
I workout every other day . I do chest/lats , then arms , then shoulders and back, then legs, then I spend one more day eating tons of chicken and rice to recover , then throw in a 72 and repeat . Best way to bulk without getting chubby

Can you train weights or cardio when doing a 72hr fast ?? I’m a heavy lifter and guess I wouldn’t be able to bench 140kgs after a few days without food without fainting ?? I have done a lot of fasts and 10 days is my max but I didn’t train and would like to know if anyone has trained during there PFs
Is it ideal to do weighted training while fasting this long? Im running right now but i havent figured if i should do high instensity low weight for a shorter time than usuall.
You can definitely lift during a 72 hour, I do. I would suggest that this is not a time to PR on any lifts you are trying to lift heavier, as your body may not have the glycogen stores to fuel you. I use a kettlebell and perform ladders and rungs of presses, pulls, squats, swings, and carrying the weight for grip/work capacity. Very efficient way to keep your body's natural movement patterns while burning fat. Make sure you have a decent meal before you start, eggs+steak or fish+avocados, lots of fat to fuel you for that time.
Do I don't understand this - you do this 72 hours fasting till rest of your life to loose and then preserve the body figure or do you fo it only when you want to loose weight and then you return to normal eating habits schedule?
Kinda late, but during fasting you should always go as heavy as you can so that you don't lose your strenght. If you go high rep, low weight you'll just lose your strenght
I’ve been doing this every Monday I start fasting and sometimes won’t eat til Thursday and I feel great. I’m down 80 pounds

I later started adding 30 mins--- some sit ups and leg raises.. and some squats... and I got a treadmill to get some running in... But most of that was after my fast... Look up "snake diet" -- he explains the salt part pretty clearly... Also look up "what i've learned" channel --- he has a video about fasting that is very good.
lol watching this at the 73rd hr of my fast 🤣 going to 87 Hrs 🙏🏼
Repent and be born again. Accept CHRIST.
I mean... what can you lose in 72 hours? 3 times your TDEE. For a regular person, that at most 1 kg of body fat. 1 kg of body fat is always worth about 7700 kcal saved.
redsoxfan you can actually go around 5 days fasting , only if do it the right way
For me... Water fasting for 6 days--- I was consistently losing 3lbs per day. and that's drinking a lot of water (and one multi-vitiman per day)... I was able to lose over 85 lbs in a little over 2 months. I've slowly gained 20lbs back since then... I need to start another fast. I'm so ready.
@@Bigbro123r5 Look up the man that went 383 days without eating... (I would link it, but youtube wont' let me). He did it while under medical supervision and its all documented. We can go much longer than you think without food. Water on the other hand, is only a few days.. and only a few minutes without air and you're dead.
My 83 hour fast I lost 7lbs.
@@sednasix6608 I talk about fat, not body weight. You can lose all kinds of water and stomach content, but what good does it do? A kg of body fat is always around 7700 kcal not eatten.
That's right Elliot, I'm on a 72 right now. I made some Snake Juice, using pink salt and potassium chloride, half a teaspoon of each in 28 oz of water (use 1 - 3 pinches more salt than Potassium)
You can add some magnesium too 👍
Damn, I always thought ketosis happened after 16 hours...can't even imagine 72.
Think I need to toughen the fuck up.
I've done 2, three day fasts. My buddy's done a few 2 week fasts. The first day or 2 is the hardest, but after that your body is used to it.
Get keto strips. I'm doing rolling 72s. Ketosis happens way faster than 72 especially if you continue to train on days 1 and 2 of the Fast. I do weights in morning and Cardio at night.
no ketosis takes longer, but I don't think 72 is the magic number. I think it is closer to 48-60
I'm easing into it - eating just a few times a day, less and less, then choosing fast days wisely.
The more your practice fasting the sooner ketosis takes effect. I can get to ketosis in 20 hours. You can too.
Yoo Elliott
Truly you have influenced my life for many years I’ve always wanted to come to your camp ie: sorry 8 years ago
Through your videos I’ve become very successful not only in fitness but in my career
I just want to say thank you and god bless
I agree, 3 days is just to break the habit and starving! After that surprisingly you lose that hung (ketosis) which is cool and you feel like you can fast for a year but then that energy comes and goes.
Hey Elliot. I've made amazing progress with the fasting program that you made. 72hs seems to be the limit of my body so far. I will try to push it further in the future. Just wanted to say thanks, I lost a ton of weight and began a new healthy cycle of my life (I eat mainly keto now.)
A buddy of mine was talking to me about his 72 hr fasting. Had me interested, then I find this video, I’m gonna have to try the OMAD first, never fast before
Yeah man I’ve been doing OMAD for about 2 weeks without even knowing about this 72 hr fasting and I feel like I found this vid at the perfect time to start! Let’s get it sonnnn and trust me if I can do it you can too ;)
The UA-cam A.I. is listening sometimes it's a good thing.
Awesome Elliot! Currently on a 7 day fast myself! 🔥🔥🔥
Wow great
I tried to fast for 3 days. 2 day was iffy but I was inspired. I woke up the third day feeling like death. 20 minutes after I ate again I felt fine.
You were low on electrolytes. Drink salt water next time your energy will.come back
You were right about to break through your mental barrier.
You can go weeks without dying you'll be fine
I just started my fasting journey today what great timing 💪
Fasting for the win 💪
Just when i recently thought about getting into fasting again, you post this. God moves
Did 48 hr fasts twice a week for like a month, tried to switch to the McDonald PSMF diet, epic fail now I’m finally back into fasting but instead of 48hrs twice a week, I’m doing rolling 72s, I’m on hour 66 and omg I feel amazing!!!
After 6 years of watching you im finally reading some Joseph Campbell books...i know not related to fasting, but still thanks for putting in work
Well Elliott I’m convinced, ill give this a try.
I believe there is a lot of evidence that autophagy kicks in between 24-48 hours, not 72. In fact, from what I have read, when you reach that 60-72 hr mark is when your body may begin to consume muscle for energy whereas prior to that, it is still using fat, etc... This is why this topic is frustrating cause there are still a lot of unanswered questions.
Exactly. Fasting is one of the under researched topics. And everyone have their own takes and explanations. Its confusing
In the Jewish religion we fast 5 days a year.. it is really a healing experience
Continuous 5 days..
YA AN not Continuous.. but we don't drink or eat
ok gonna do it
I needed this NOW Elliott. God bless you always.
Snake Juice 👍 🐍
Water with salt if you were wondering
@@lovewaves6326 yea thought it meant piss. Thanks
@@awwa8923 Actually Cole Robinson of the Snake Diet channel does sometimes drink his piss and tells us how we can do it too. Piss is sterile, tastes like warm beer. It tastes better than tonic water atleast.
@@lovewaves6326 no its 4 different items salts, potassium, magnesium, look it up for optimal results
Always great to see you boss!
God bless you my man!! Love your channel! Love the energy!!
thank you for this! I have lost 20 pounds and im currently 169 lbs and i want to lose more. i want to try this and see my results!
But what about drinking? Can I drink water/juices/smoothies while fasting?
Me too wanna know this
Yeah
No calories. So just water, tea and black coffee
If you feel dizzy add salt to the water.
Start eating small portions after the fast. Especially when you fast longer than 3 days.
Refeeding syndrome can occur after 5 day fasts so be careful and eat just a bit after the fasts.
Listen to your body
There’s a reason why in the Bible it saids that you should fast for 3 days to get closer to god ! I’m not a nutty Christian but my life has changed and I’ve had one too many “coincidences” (direct signs!) while fasting. I encourage everyone to try it !
Yea, Elliott, good to hear you, bro!!!
He's more like uncle Elliott to me
As a Muslim , it is encouraged to dry fast no food and water twice a week on Monday and Thursday to reset the body and mind.
Even fasting during Ramadan , I feel amazing and a lot stronger physically and mentally.
Refraining from water is unhealthy
Thomas Cogger the Islamic fasting is done from dawn until dusk. The time for eating and drinking* is dusk until dawn.
Thomas Cogger that’s what they tell you, they used to tell you that eating breakfast is a must but now everyone knows that you don’t have to eat breakfast .
Thomas Cogger Islamic fasting is dry fasting from dawn till dusk, then you can eat and drink from dusk till dawn
Yo elliot, why did you choose Monday to start?
Are we allowed to drink water during our fast? And wouldn’t that be regarded as water-fasting? In the heat we require water.
Yes.. If you go more that a couple days without water, you will die. Always drink water. Fasting without water is called dying. and you'll die fairly quickly from dehydration. you can go much longer without food. (look up the man that went 383 days without eating)
snake juice: salt water
water mixed with sodium chloride and potassium chloride
is what you drink
you can dry fast, but dont unless you have a malady you need to heal, dry fasting is not for the faint of heart
Good to have you back!
Ketosis starts long before 72 hours fyi. The benefits of fasting increase towards the 72 hour mark.
Why do I hear Coach Greg yelling?
Oh he'll be here before too long.
So when do you start eating again? If ai got it right, you don’t eat Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and eat again on Thursday? Or you skip Monday and Tuesday and est on Wednesday?
God bless you Elliot.
Great information in this.,. Information is very limited... be good for you to share more fasting and maybe blog your experience over a month.. anyways great video and great information
Glad to see you I miss watching your videos regularly.
Serious question when fasting is it safe to do when working out or no?
How did it affect your workouts when not having ready available suger in your body?
It doesn't have to affect workout. But you have to drink a lot of water.
@@tangaraspeedgoda7436 Sure it does. the rate at which you regain energy is affected on ketosis. Carbohydrates are far better for short term bursts. like working out in the gym and sprinting.
But you think a person can lose 6 kilos 3 days. so you clearly arent someone to listen to.
Well it does hold you back but that's where the mental strength also grows and begins!!! Just have to push it!!!! Gains!
Lifting heavy 24 hours in feels great. Best to do only steady state cardio when you're at 48 and 72 hours. (Days 2 and 3)
@@Bruce.Wallace yeah I tried it out and for cardio it really doesn't make any difference. Then a nice heavy workout after when youve eaten and have increased growth hormone
If you wanna Min Max it to death
Hey Elliott, one question please! What about gym those 3 days? And supplements? Is it ok to workout during fasting? Thank you so much for answer!
No, you should not workout during prolonged water fasting.
Fast with snake juice which is just sodium chloride (salt) and potassium chloride (different salt), you can still work out on that
No cardio, weights only. You can do this on water fast or using snake diet water which has electrolytes
Question: I know it sounds pathetic but could you give advice on how to deal with being ugly as fuck. I feel like I can't express my true essence to people because my face doesn't represent it. Not to mention attracting any female. Isn't physical attractiveness an integral charasteristic of what God made to be a man? I feel like shooting myself everytime I look in the mirror and all motivation to be the strongest version of myself vanishes because my internal voice conflicts so strongly with my physical essence. I also have severe joint pain and cannot build muscle. I've been robbed of the most basic level of what it means to be a man: the physical level.
I feel you bro im ugly too and stress alot about life which caused me to have many gray hairs at age 15 and in pretty sure im gonna be bald soon too. My only cope is gym but that can take me only so far
Sorry about what you are going through. I believe reading Pyscho-Cybernetics May help. Wish you all the best and hoping you find peace in your existence as you are here for a reason. I hope you find that reason soon and the peace you need to see your true value.
If anything it sounds like you need to change your internal. It’s negative and conflicting. You said “I can’t express my true essence to people because my face doesn’t represent it”. You have an ideal that you’re holding onto in your head, of how person A(“true essence” acts. But internally you view yourself as person B. You need to change your internal dialogue first. The world is a mirror of your thoughts, conscious and subconcious. Once you change your thoughts you will change your life. Stop labelling yourself as “ugly”. That sounds simple. To just stop right? How about you change your perspective, beauty and ugliness are mere opinions, time changes and so do your looks for better and for worse. Lastly, from your last sentence “Iv been robbed”. You’re playing a victim role in your life, like life owes you something and you have been robbed. The best you can do is to see the cards you’ve been dealt and play the best damn game you can play with those cards. That takes more courage, to accept and own what you cannot change but use it to your advantage. In conclusion, take control of your life and your emotions(there are many tools to do this). Step 2, meditate go for walks clear your head get off social media for a few hours and listen to your thoughts, are they negative? Confront them, understand them, change them. Step 3, don’t take other people’s opinions to heart, people are to busy focused on their own insecurities and issues to care about yours. And if they do point something out, again it is just a reflection on themselves. Take care and be kind to yourself.
Ain’t about looks fella we all gods people living same demons ain’t going to be anything new, work usual 9-5 be enslaved to freedom be treated like dogs with collars on! It’s a hard drive to figure out what’s the best solution but that is trying your heart to it’s best bro keep hold of your emotions never let the enemy overcome, on the bright side least we ain’t women who have gotten worse as the years go by 🙁 stay story bro
Read Psycho-Cybernetics
Well that was so contradictory information to what fledge fitness is putting out i don't know where to start.
Missed you man.
Thanks for your advise bro
Gold! You quit this routine?
You are that dude, Elliott. Thanks.
I did the exact same thing.
.....and it dose take time to
Develop....like years but we'll
Worth it my last phase was
Doing more raw fruits and vegetables and less processed food
any advice for a prolonged fast to get lean? i’m into bodybuilding i’m just trying to shed off the last few % of body fat without losing muscle lol
Would you recommend working out still while fasted, or is fasting strictly for whole body recovery?
Will this work with insulin resistance or do you recommend eating once 2 times a week?
Both will work
You mentioned it vaguely, but do you have any advice on fasting vs dry fasting? The last time I did 72 hours, I think I made myself sick towards the end drinking too much Mineral Water.
Look up the UA-cam channel Cole Robinson Weight Loss. He touches on this subject and has experienced both types of fasting.
Yo Elliot we all know fasting has tons of benefits but it's it unhealthy to lose weight, gain it back, lose it,etc like a cycle?
Finally he's back! Ragnar is back!
Bruh I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks he looks like a black ragnar
Thankyou so much for explaining this,I learned a lot.I need to do these 3 day fast.
Nice info bro
So, I have been fasting on and off usually a day or 2. but I've decided to lock in a specific schedule. I was thinking of fasting 3 days, eating a keto meal, then fast 3 more days and so on. getting exercise in while fasting. I haven't seen anyone talk about a fast schedule this intense and wonder what others think about it, what are possible side effects. I will be taking vitamins and vitamin B complex with my meal, heavy in protein as well. My goal is to lose 20lbs more so it isnt something I am doing long term.
This guy just needs to keep fasting; he'd be doing us all a favor.
How do you go back to eating after 3 days fast ? What style of eating you use ? How do you rebound ??
I honestly finished a 3 day fast 2 days ago.. great timing
How did it go?
Do you drink or take supplement during your fasting?
Definitely have water. You don’t want to dehydrate yourself. Dry fasting isn’t recommended. Make sure you are getting electrolytes with your water. Either by powder or adding salt. Stay away from sugary drinks like sport drinks as that defeats the purpose of fasting.
Love the vibe ! 🍽⚔️🍵
every time i fast my skin looks better
so, just refraining from food, not water?
Yes
Great video...Can you give your opinion on Creatine usage please....an update would be nice 👍 thanks friend!!
Ah damn.. i thought it was only 16 hours or so that gets us to the fasted state
16 hours is great too.
Elliot, are you doing cardio and lifting during your 3-day fast?
What about workouts during the 72 hours of fasting? I thought we needed protein to maximize results and achieve proper muscle recovery? honest question and thanks to anyone in advance for a serious answer.
Forget fasting mate.
Been doing 2day, 2day, 3day fasting weeks. Breaking the fast on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Trying to get those last 15 pounds off
I workout every other day . I do chest/lats , then arms , then shoulders and back, then legs, then I spend one more day eating tons of chicken and rice to recover , then throw in a 72 and repeat . Best way to bulk without getting chubby
What a strange universe, I was just talking about this with my pops.
Same here haha god is telling us something
@@MATTMRN @Entheos
Nope. not god. Its called confirmation bias. Higher likelihood that youll notice a coincidence than all the times you did not see videos about what you talked about.
secondly you have a phone in your pocket that listens to you. Try talking about household items for a while and youll see ads on amazon, youtube and facebook popping up about the same topic.
Glad to be of help!
Your truly,
me
Your phone is listening to your conversations
I suppose you can still drink water during a fast, right? Are there any other foods and drinks that are allowed during a “fast”?
Does anyone remember the country he spoke of that uses fast regularly in there lives ? It was a Mediterranean culture I think?
Do you workout while you fast? If so doesn’t your muscles at least need a protein shake?
Thanks
Wish this had been answered. I have the same question.
Can you train weights or cardio when doing a 72hr fast ?? I’m a heavy lifter and guess I wouldn’t be able to bench 140kgs after a few days without food without fainting ?? I have done a lot of fasts and 10 days is my max but I didn’t train and would like to know if anyone has trained during there PFs
Is it ideal to do weighted training while fasting this long? Im running right now but i havent figured if i should do high instensity low weight for a shorter time than usuall.
Can you lift during a 72 hour fast? If so, how do you suggest setting up the session?
You can definitely lift during a 72 hour, I do. I would suggest that this is not a time to PR on any lifts you are trying to lift heavier, as your body may not have the glycogen stores to fuel you. I use a kettlebell and perform ladders and rungs of presses, pulls, squats, swings, and carrying the weight for grip/work capacity. Very efficient way to keep your body's natural movement patterns while burning fat. Make sure you have a decent meal before you start, eggs+steak or fish+avocados, lots of fat to fuel you for that time.
@@lewisyaworski8962 appreciate that! Sets of like 8-10 or 10-12
Anyone here after his show on FB?
How could someone do this when they’re putting their body through intense workouts throughout the week?
That’s what I’m thinking
So many good reasons to fast and a good video to share if you're trying to convince someone to do a fast with you hahaha
Informative and humorous 😂 luv it
can you drink coffee while fasting?
glad ur still throwing up videos E
Your a diamond!
I’m gonna start wed and ever wed after that
Do I don't understand this - you do this 72 hours fasting till rest of your life to loose and then preserve the body figure or do you fo it only when you want to loose weight and then you return to normal eating habits schedule?
Do you train during a 72h fast? If yes, how does it look like? Heavy weights low reps or light weights and high reps? And do you do cardio?
Kinda late, but during fasting you should always go as heavy as you can so that you don't lose your strenght. If you go high rep, low weight you'll just lose your strenght
