“When most people hear fasting, all they hear is, “I’ll starve therefore, I’ll die,” and then they blank out to it. No, this is about more energy and it’s about more clarity and less time wasted.” [41:53]

Eat one healthy meal a day , do exercise, take vitamin tabs and sleep well.
That's what I've done and it's my 90th birthday next week. 😊
Happy birthday brother!
@@v05555 I'm 65 and my body is like I'm 16, I can still bounce around like a kid, and I attribute that largely to good diet AND VITAMINS. Yes vitamins can be a waste of time &money, but you need to take the RIGHT vitamins AND MINERALS, the ones that are naturally sourced, not synthetic ones produced in a lab.
Hey hey congratulations stud keep going strong, don’t forget to have fun especially with this troubled time’s.
🍀🍀🍀✨
@@glennrobinson7193 may I ask what vitamins you take, I would love the help
Happy Birthday!! 🎁🎉🎊🎈
Have you ever noticed when you go to bed hungry you wake up feeling fine, but go to bed after eating a giant meal and you wake up starving? 🙂 🙂 🙂
That is so true! I never thought about it. Interesting observation.
🤗👍🏼
I try to never over-eat. It's bad for digestive tract & feels awful. I do intermittent fasting which has taught me how to eat - or not eat!
My grandma always told me that too.
I was just telling my wife this exact thing
I listen to Dr. Fung - I have done a 30 day and a 21 day fast - lost almost 50 pounds and have kept it off a year later. I was completely fine. There is a lot of misinformation in this interview frankly. If you have fat for your body to eat then going beyond 10 days is not dangerous at all. It's common sense which is why I like Fung. You have excessive fat? Safe to fast. Not a lot of excessive fat? You don't need to do long term fasting. What is the difference between your body eating the excessive fat your body is already carrying or putting more fat in via your mouth? There is no difference. Here's the basic secret - if you have extra fat on your body let your body do the work and get out of the way. We overcomplicate all of this so much when the reality is our bodies know exactly what to do and you will be just fine. *Edit to add: beyond the first few days of your body adjusting to fasting you are not hangry or "bitchy" as this guy is saying. After a few days you feel more energetic and positive than you have ever felt. So much misinformation here.
I agree with much of what you've said, Positive. I'm a follower of Dr. Dom D'Agostino. Have been for many years. He sits alone at the top LMO. Peter Attia and Steven Gundry are good, but Gundry loses me whenever he begins to anthropomorphize the actions of cell organelles, processes and functions to explain them in simple terms to us. That tells me surgeons seldom have a clue how or why it works that way. It's not what they do. They have been trained to cut anything out if it doesn't work. For them it's about affecting tangible, yet hopefully less impactful changes to somebody's quality of life.
You say there's a lot of misinformation here, and that's where we disagree. I can't give Asprey a pass like I do for those surgeons I mentioned. At least somewhere along the line they learned thru common sense to accept that surgery wasn't a good answer. Sorry, but what this self-declared nerd is selling is bullshit laced with cynicism. The rest he borrowed. You've been far too kind to call it misinformation.
Hello, I have just finished nineteen day, twenty -two hour fast.
Post fast I have cut out processed food, no obvious carbs, cut out potatoes bread Pasta Rice.
These people are making it more complicated than it need be.
Before fasting. over a period of weeks cut out Sugar/Caffeine/ obvious carbs.
Lot of waffle with these people, the lack of Sugar to the Brain, can create a clarity like a small LSD trip, nothing more.
Since late 20/18, have done three fasts of 19 to 21 days, two fasts of nine days and two fasts of three days.
My reason for fasting! June 20/18 had RP which was not successful, prior to RT starting in December 20/18 I did a twenty-one day water fast. Before fast my PSA was 0.22 post fast 0.17 then started to climb again till RT. In my case, there could be a link re fasting containing the PSA, hard to prove though.
These people are making a fast more complicated than it need be.
Also in my case, have no problem re refeeding after a fast, perhaps I am just lucky, never had any problems.
I am retired so there is no work stress or family to contend with, for some people work during a fast could be problematic. so better to do it on holiday time.

I've been OMAD fasting for 2 months & I'm all of a sudden noticing my arthritis going away. I didn't expect this but I'm so glad for it.
Same here 🎉I’ve noticed it In just following 16-8 intermittent fasting and occasional 24-40 hr fast
@@stephenh.4476 nope I don’t think it’s that hard, maybe at the beginning of learning how to do it- I think it’s even more critical 😊electrolytes salts especially if your following more of a meat based diet, it’s so critical especially for electrical system for your heart ❤ you can get me up at the heart ❤doctors office for atrial flutter 😢afib and you don’t want to go they’re because the only fix they know is doing cardio shock to heart resetting it and the ablation… our medical system doesn’t really understand healing it only knows the power of the almighty dollar
@@stephenh.4476 I only eat once a day most days as I have an IBD. I always take a lot of supplements as well but I feel so much healthier eating a high quality meal once a day, rather than eating carbs/sugar three times a day.
and fat loss?
@@VirtualRonnie so far I've lost 20 lbs
Im 66 years old. I gave up sugar, grains, ate organic grassfed meat and cream and organic vegetables and intermittent fasting. I feel like a different person. I have so much more energy, mental clarity, disappearing joint pain. Its insane!
What is acacia gum and where can you buy it.???
@Blue Sky Puzzle this is a tough one,I just said to myself if I want to keep walking and not get my leg cut off or go blind I can’t have NO MORE sugar or bread 🥯.I make my own bread (no flour) .for a treat I put peanut butter and some pure unpasteurized honey on it .mostly I have some real fruit,you’d be surprised how sweet it seems if you totally cut out sugar.walking and seeing are my priorities. It comes down to that.
Ty for sharing
right behind you sister!!
@Blue Sky Puzzle Its hard to quit, but it only takes about 2 weeks to get over it. I was addicted, and never ever knew it , since I was a kid, mostly to ice cream. I just stopped about 20 years ago and then didn't think about it until just recently. I have been under a lot of stress so I had a bowl of ice cream; I was off the wagon and started eating it again. As of old, a meal didn't feel complete without it at the end. So, I'm quitting again and I'm sure it will stick for a long time because I did it before.
Jottings:
- Theme: Fasting
- Over-fasting (> 10 days) not good. Thats starving or malnutrition.
- Fasting == go without (eating, digital, etc) that makes us stronger.
- Metabolic/dietary Fasting = does not increase insulin (Water + little pre-biotic fiber)
- Goals of fasting:
- healing gut,
- autophagy (little fat ok),
- more energy,
- lower inflammations (absence of toxins, ketone)
- Intermittent fasting: 16 hrs Fasting, 8 hrs eat anything!!
- Ketones: body burns fats and not sure, more energy than glucose, brain loves it, more clarity
- Fasting is a practice, start slow. Don't make it painful unless for spiritual reason.
- Spending energy heavily on:
- Fear: run away from kill
- Food: eat everything
- F*: going crazy
- Fasting is a way out of above spends.
thanks for your notes
Thank you!!
I couldnt understand If antioxidans are okay for fasting - e.g fisitin, Querstein ect? ...which are okay ? Thank you
You are just blindly following what he says without any experimentation, you have to find what works for your own unique self.
You are unique, just like everyone else 👐
There is a million different ways to fast so find what works for you!!!
Fasting over 10 days isnt necessarily a bad thing, once you switch over to running on ketones you will be full of energy. Rememever to always be careful and listen to your body!
The main thing while water fasting is adding salt and potassium to your water. This is very important!
Thanks for making this available!
I started my fasting journey at 462lbs. First month i did 16/8 and only ate whole foods lost 25lbs. Second month i noticed lunch time was comming around and i wouldnt be hungry so i switched to omad lost anoth 22lbs. Third and 4th month i did a mix of different things were i fasted for 5 days ate for 2 days. I also did rolling 72's and at my 5th month i completed my first 21 day fast. Using only water, electrolyte powder, and prebiotic powder. In total i lost 132lbs in 6 months and maintained it for a year. Had a bunch of family deaths all at once and went right back to emotionally eating and went from 330 a mear 60lbs away from my goal weight of 270. Back to 444 currently. And today is day 2 of getting back on track and watching this video was definately interesting and great insight. I will say fasting has showed me how ridiculous my fast food addiction was and how that feeling i had when i felt like i needed to be gorged at all times was just dumb.
Heck yes! Keep it up!
Good for you, I’m in a similar boat. Nothing wrong with starting over.
@Jacqueline's Journal you can still be eating over your daily calories in 8 hours
All the best bro. I know u can do it.
@Jacqueline's Journal Cut down on the fats if you're gaining weight
My experience with fasting is that at 1st I got crazy hungry after 4-6 hours. Kept at it and the time between getting very hungry got longer and longer over the weeks. Now I'm at the stage where I can go 23 hours and I'm like, oh yeah, time to eat now, and sure I am a bit hungry but I could go hours longer. Just that I don't and I eat that one meal for the day.
I'm not much overweight to start with, just wanted to lose that last 30 pounds. As a side effect, my joints don't ache anymore and I literally jump out of bed like a teenager again. I'm close to 60 years old btw.
Amazing info. Thanks for sharing your insights
Wow!
Fabulous!
I’m 60 and have had a similar experience. I mostly do intermittent fasting now. I have an IBD so the more rest I give my bowel the better, and the less bodily inflammation I suffer. BUT I do take a lot of multivitamins/supplements as well.
So true about not being hungry for hours. 20 hours fasting like nothing. Even 23hours
I agree! People think when they fast they will die. Being hungry can be more a psychological thing because I notice that I am more hungry when I think about it. And, if I am busy I can go for hours.
Fasting,,think you will die,, reality,,exact opposite amazing 🥲

I started intermittent fasting when I began long term world travel. I found it annoying to hunt for places for lunch in crowded cafes when I could be exploring. It was surprisingly easy, now I enjoy my single, very good meal at the end of the day.
People used to say you would pass out if you waited too long to eat
Actually it's demons, not mitochondria as far as I know. My daughter talks to ghosts real easy and one admitted to possessing her and said every thing she eats, is exactly as if he ate it. So I cussed him out, he don't care if she's fat. She does and got the answer. Demons are no good, just there to share a body to enjoy being alive without being alive. Ghosts are the same but not as old and experienced as demons, so less tricks. These things get in on people's blame and anger when it's really their fault and they didn't humble down are realize it.
I am doing OMAD to teach myself to stop snacking and have control over the one thing in my life I can control. It has really helped me understand what I am capable of and that I don’t need to eat all the time. ☺️
I just started for the first time after doing 16/8 for a long time. This is my third day, pretty low energy and hungry all day, so I just made myself a bullet proof coffee with collagen. Hope it helps.
@@Morning2glory1 day 2-3 is always gardest for me....then it us pretty ok
Makes you feel “in charge!”❤
I make beef bone broth, and that really helps on the third day. Congrats! I will do my second 72 hour fast at the end of May. I buy the bones at Whole Foods: they are full of collagen-I cook them in a slow cooker for 24 hours. So delicious!
@@Morning2glory1 I don't Trust collagen at all. It's a white powder. I put a whole cup of it into half a cup of water and it didn't change the viscosity hardly at all. I noticed all the people selling it aren't losing any weight. They are lying and it's a product that can have poison in it if a bad guy figures out a way. You can just eat chicken skin and other things and get collagen. Why reduce it to a processed food?
I have Crohn’s and arthritis. Changing to IF, exercising and eating a very low carb diet has changed my health dramatically!
I have both of those two. I will give this a try.
I grew up fasting as a kid when we were sick- we did it because we lived on a farm and thats what animals do when they're sick. And it makes sense- every symptom is the body saying "don't eat please!" (food tastes bland because your nose is congested, your throat is sore, etc. etc.)
I never had to take antibiotics once. And I rarely got sick. But when I was 14 I got Scarlet Fever and fasted for almost three weeks on just water.
Last year I had covid and fasted for 10 days (on just water). The beautiful thing is when you get to the end of being sick you feel like your body has cleaned up all the house keeping it hasn't gotten to do when you're normally eaten.
So when you fast when you get sick (which feels natural anyway) you can see that being sick is actually perhaps part of how we stay healthy in a larger sense.
I’m on a 72 hrs fast I’ve got 19 hrs to go. Dropped 9.4 lbs so far. I’m doing my daily gym routine and 2 miles of cardio. Fasting has been a huge beneficial blessing for me. I was 236 and dropped to 178lbs In 3 months.
How often do you fast?
How long do you do a 3 day fast?
Wow
how'd you train yourself to fast so long?
@@ash-js2bv it’s not hard once you put your mind into it and remember your “why” I have fasted for 8 and a half days and the first 5 days were quite easy but starting the 6th things started getting gradually tough ( cold sweating, stomach pain, acid reflux, fatigue ..) I believe because I went into it blindly without much knowledge about what I can have to balance my electrolytes and how to get rid of acid reflux, and the bad breath was just horrible
I believe what made the 5 first days easy is that I was doing keto and OMAD for 3 months and have fasted 7 days several months before that so my body was quite used to it, so you need to work your way up just like the doctor said otherwise it would be incredibly tough much like my 6th day experience, good luck!
I went on a 21 day water fast at a clinic, and I was fine. It healed my BP and vision.
Proof.
Did you take supplements
@@thesilverfox_ok Hello, Since about August 2018 I have done two twenty one day fasts, one nineteen day fifteen hours and two nine day and one three day fasts. Just starting another and am about twenty eight hours in. Pre fasting I was about 15 stone 8lbs, after the first couple of fasts I was down to about 10stone 12lbs.
June 18 2018 had robotic Surgery for Prostate Cancer "Gleason 9, T3B", the surgery was not successful, so managed to get radiation December 20 2018 to Feb 6 2019. In-between Surgery and Radiation did my first water fast. The reason for fasting was to achieve "Autography" which I did but there was an unusual twist. To get the Radiation treatment you have to have three rises in PSA level and fast doubling time. The effect of fasting brought my PSA level down to 0.17 from 0.22.and that could delay the Radiation I argued my case and they put me up for radiation.
I had read up about fasting and just went for it and was prepared in the sense I was already more or less off sugar and caffeine so no withdrawal symptoms.
Looking back, the initial fast was quite an undertaking and any discomfort I found was negated by the feeling that I was at least trying to fight the Cancer and doing something. There are similarities in all the long fasts the most interesting is the mind unleashed period, kind of like mild LSD, think of the religious people fasting in the desert and having visions, to them they got messages from God, for me just lack of sugar to the brain.
Another benefit I found with fasting is anti inflammation effect. My right knee had some kind of age related issue, just a slight feeling! after weight loss am doing at least three miles a day walking in the woods, undulating paths so good exercise. Another effect of fasting is (for me) you can feel a bit cold on and off, solution, electric blanket and stay in bed for a day or two.
Subsequent fasting I am not such a "Purist" Will initially take 50mg of Modafinil and coffee and am already non sugar so no sugar withdrawal.
Apple cyder vinegar in the water and a little real salt and that seems to work for me.
Pre Fast. Cut out Sugar and Caffeine, then starting Fast, Modafinil and an attack dose of caffeine, that should take you to day three of your fast.
If you have pre-existing conditions, Diabetes or Gout or whatever , better get some advice from a doctor pre fasting.
Good Luck
Hallo, please, what is BP?
@@oliviabaklaton4552 ...my blood pressure. It went right down to normal.
This is amazing. I fast differently almost everyday - I do 16-22 hours of fast during the weekdays, and eat normally on weekends. Some days I do all healthy, and others I include sweet desserts. I am at my goal weight and feel great. Add in exercise and I’m on cloud 9. Thanks for the great talk.
Same and lost 80lbs in like 7 months. Now I’m to skinny lol
Thanks for sharing! Doing it this way sounds very doable (also from a social perspective 😊)
Same.. On the weekends I "let loose" a bit. During the week I'd go 18-22.
You are so right about doing a longer fast with others in an environment without distractions. And it's motivational when done with others doing the same. Comparing notes removes a lot of fear or panic when you see that it's quite normal to go through both physical and spiritual or emotional issues.
I have been running a fasting clinic for over 30 years now where people book in to do a supervised and monitored water fast for anything between 10 to 30 days.
I have truly witnessed many transformations over the years.
No one has ever regretted their decision to do such a fast.
Tom, please interview Dr Jason Fung - he is amazing
Yes yes yessss
Yes!!!!!! He’s amazing!!!

YES !!!
I just saw a vid on Jason Fung. Liked him a lot.
This is Tom's more impressive interview I have seen so far.

First I didnt realy like him so much but I watch him moore and moore, he is genuinly interested in this and moore humble they you might think.
I agree about Tom! I've been watching him since he started and he has wonderful interaction with guests.

I have been doing a IF for 5 weeks , 16 -8 ( 6pm - 10am ) . i eat two meals only in my food window and i have stopped eating all sugar , carbs , fast food etc etc. Also i exercise twice during my fasting 16 hours. once after my early evening meal and once at 630am in the morning. i have so far lost 19lbs and feel like a completely different human being. Its insane how great i feel. I guess that just proves how awful my lifestyle was before June 13th. Step two is going to IF 20 - 4 for a month. lets see how that works...
Hi what are you eating for your two meals? I’ve been fasting but feel I haven’t been getting my full nutrition
I changed the word hunger to addiction in many places and it still makes sense. This video was great, thank you.
Thank you for that. Now I’m seeing it that way as well.
@@insipid_lipid what ever your challenges are my friend, you have the power. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You’ve got this, I believe in you.

Tom - you've asked exactly the questions I've wanted answered for years! Thanks for being super diligent on this one!
At moment, I believe this is the most important health video on the internet. Invaluable. Lots to dissect here. Powerful.
I've been waiting so long for someone to clarify if it is be beneficial to 'trick our body' and mix up fasting regiments! sounds like that's a resounding YES for striving for metabolic flexibility. this video is so informative thank you!
I do IF 20 hours a day mon-sat. I eat when i want on Sundays up to 8pm. The thing is I dont have pain or hunger during my fast as long as im busy working. I break fast with raw collards, feta, acv and olive oil vinegrette and walnuts. I eat dinner with my family around 6 and around 7 I have a berry smoothie with coconut milk. I feel so good.
Sounds like you have created a good agenda that works well for you! It is good to have an idea of what other people are doing. Thank you for sharing!
Have you lost weight? Fat weight?
Love this podcast, especially for someone who's done all forms of fasting for almost 4 years. This not only solidify what has been done correctly but opens up my mind and closes the questions I had before. What a good close to a perfect opening!
What is your fasting regime?
@@nareegreel move freely between 16/8 minimum to 48 hours fasting.
168 being 80% of the time. The longer the fast the least frequently. The trick is be flexible. Do your resistance workout actually all of the workouts fasted. I do meditation yoga in the morning. If I have more time I would do some form of HIIT .

Pppp
My thoughts exactly word by word..👍
I need to go on a news fast.
I did that! It's sooo liberating! I imprisoned myself and had so much anxiety oozing from my pores that I had to go it cold turkey! It took almost 2 months, but I was able to go eat at restaurants again! I know that it was the stress of the constant news that kept me in Fight or Flight mode. THAT was what was killing me, and not covid.
😂
Yes!! Smart!
The country needs a 'progressive' fast for about 100 years
Lol 🤣 I have done that for a while plus deleted facebook , instagram never had twitter .Happier than ever .

This channel is a goldmine. So happy I found it.
18/6 squad member here. Last Month (3st of may, 2022 To be specific) was my 40th bday and after several weeks of indulging with parties, sex, alcohol and the inflammatory-inducing cuisine/processed foods, my joints were beginning to hurt, skin broke out, slept horribly and lost focus of the important things in life like ceasing my womanizing ways. Decided to take charge of my life and starting June 1st, decided to go on my first 46 hour fast. And from then on, 18 hour fasts daily and 24 hr fast every sunday evening into monday evening. Low carb, minimal sugar, only cheat was a few/several cocktails on sat nite (let me live, mom).
End results? Acne cleared up, lost about 9 clean pounds, no sugar/carb cravings, joint paint dissipated, mental acuity stronger than ever and staying hungry feels totally fine. Above all else, i look more handsome now than i did in all of my 20’s. Wow!!! Not only am i aging like fine wine, i also feel greAt and can charm the skin mucous out of a slug!!!
Dr. Fung is the best person regarding fasting.
He is .
Dr. Sten Ekberg is the ultimate "health champion".
It would be cool if Fung & Ekberg would interview together with Tom.

He truly is! I’ve watched several of his lectures and bought his book for reference. He breaks it down so simply...
So true
I started intermittent fasting two weeks ago and am really excited about my results. My gut feels great because there isn't food there all the time. Then today, my fasting glucose level was under 100 for the first time since I got diagnosed with type II diabetes. At that time my A1C was 9.7.
my son got rid of type 2 changing eating habits
i have lived like this on my own nit knowing it was that i never get sick am 62
Hi did u take any medication for your sugar levels? How to handle intermittent fasting and blood sugar medicine? ( my country doctors aren’t supportive of intermittent fasting 😞)

Interesting, educational, informative, inspiring, motivating conversation. Thank you so much.
Can't believe I'm finding this more than a year later. I've been trying to figure this out. Buying the book today. Thanks, Dave and Tom
One of the best interviews about fasting, well done and thank you
I would love to see Jason Fung in your show Tom, please :)
Buy his Book!!
ME TOO! He’s awesome! I’m sure he will at some stage, as Tom loves fasting!
Very informative. This was enlightening and helpful. Thank you
All procrastination is fear - that’s a nice simple insight right there alone. This is a great one thankyou both
I’m a long time fan of this channel, I think your interviews are well structured, interesting and always positive. I was wondering if you ever plan on interviewing Jason Fung - that would be my dream interview to watch. Best wishes in 2021, keep up the great work! More channels like this!
Yes Jason Fung would be amazing
You are so pretty what's your ethnicity or back ground?
Dr Jason Fung is incredible. He and Dr. Joe Dispenza are responsible for my having sent a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes into remission or reversal without the harmful medications. I would encourage anyone with chronic illnesses to take a look at intermittent fasting. Dr. Jason Fung seems to be among the most popular in advocating these fasts.

The most wise advice I’ve ever learned about fasting, Dave blows my mind!
new to this channel. i have to say - tom, youre a superb interviewer! its great to see the people youre interviewing able to handle your interviewing skill. its no surprise why you have SO many subscribers.
This is one of the best talks I've heard about fasting.
I went on a 10 day silent meditation retreat a couple of years ago. It is my MOST favorite “vacation” I’ve ever taken. It was amazing to me, as an empath (learning to not absorb it all), the massive amount of energy I was using trying to interpret/anticipate/read people. Like, couldn’t even look anyone in the eye.
Omg it was AMAZING. ❤️
Awesome. Ive been to several 10 day meditation retreats. Next one I will skip breakfast and lunch.
@@ronwatson4689 oh cool! Was that at a Vipassana center? I can't wait for the next time I get to go. I may try a few fasting days, but TBH the food was ridiculous.

Break your fasts (3day+) with a small tomato, cucumber and avacado salad with a little salt.
You will be amazed at how good it tastes and how great you feel.
After about 2-3 hours you can have a normal meal.
The salad is one of the most gentle ways to restart your stomach.
Thanks for the advice I love avocado salad
Thank you!! :) was just trying to think up of something to eat after my (hopefully!) 3 days fast. 2 days in right now.. Beginner :)
Such a good interview, prolly my favorite of the channel
What a great interview! I listened to parts of it over and over!
"Nobody talks about the spiritual side of fasting"....ummmm....really? Like most major religions worldwide?
Haha true! I think he meant no people who also understand the science and biology behind fasting so well are talking about spirituality
Honestly, I'm watching this to help me practice spiritual fasting more often.
nice to mention these kinds of topics, but people have been doing this for centuries, for the believing Jews and Christians this was mandatory. The only faith that is active in fasting is the Muslims now, and 1000 books have been written about fasting and its benefits and attainment of spiritual status.
@@MM-cx7zl not so. Not just Muslims.
Mainstream Christians don’t fast.
Dave, thank you sooooo much!! Finally someone addressing differences between men and women. I felt so relieved knowing that what he is saying actually goes for me as well, as a woman. Thank you!!
This has been super informative. Thank you!
Love your channel and your guests truly are amazing. Thank you for sharing❤
This is one of the best and most informative videos I’ve seen on eating. I feel it will be key into my health going forward. I’m going to follow up with a few of Dave Asprey's books for full comprehension and protocol. Thank you so much!
I want to Specially appreciate you for being a big fan . Thanks for your nice Comment on my post , it means a lot to me . I want you to send me a direct message via hangout using my personal email . Also endeavour to add your name to the text so I can know you are the one because I don't reply unnecessary messages . Hangout mail, daveaspreyconnect@gmail.com
I listened to this and tried autophagy fasting on 2 days, once with activated charcoal and once without, and I can't believe the difference. I felt so much better with taking the activated charcoal. It works.
Good to know! What brand did you buy?

Great interview!!! Thank you for sharing
I find when you get past the 24-48 hour mark of a fast that's when it gets easy and that's when you begin to feel amazing.
I always feel closer to the higher power when I fast
Damn brother! Noice! Do u still fast? If yes, how long? What is ur diet?
@@MindNow usually I do 72 hour fasts! I’m thinking about doing one again in January!
I eat mostly whole foods, close to the paleo diet with some cheating of course haha

@@alexp7842 no he is not
Very informative conversation. I have been interested in fasting for months. That definitely puts a different light on the subject and it's an amazing summary! Thank you!
Tom and Dave, I just wanted to tell you your interview is like a great book every time you reread it you find hidden information in it. It happens to me when I replay this interview. This time, the explanation about How bacteria governs us and how we can take over gave me aha moment!. I personally have experienced the feeling of being in control when fasting, and now I understand the reason behind it. Thank you gentlemen!
I'm Glad i heard this. I had a very strict diet and started IF for past 5 weeks. I continue strict diet, but before i started IF i felt like going up the wall. I had to have at least 1 cheat day per week to be able to continue. When i went to IF i continue losing more and more weight, my sugar and fast food cravings dissapeared 98% (i was having them all day every day before diet) and i feel more energized than ever în my entire life. Is simply amazing, this feeling. I am able to exercise even when i am on my menstrual cicle, which was never possible before. I feel like moving Mountains and before i was anemic and insulina resistant. Not only i feel so much energy but also i don't feel hungry at all. Even when hungwrs installer after many hours, is not painful. And yes it was at the first days but then it dissapeared compelty. No more hubger pain. I eat much less, much healtier and better, but i still have 1-2 cheat days (în The weekend) and i still loose 1-2 kg per week! Might be slow for some but to me is fantastic! Best week i had i lost 3 kg and felt the best energy ever. I truly swear by IF. This is not a diet anymore for me, is a life style. But earing this man saying is ok with the cheat days, feels much better, i felt a bit guilt but also confused of how i still managed to lose weight. I feel more at ease)) but as he says, i all about choosing the right things even when they are wrong. I have a coffee with Milk once a week, but the Milk is always vegetable and also a bit of whioped cream on top that îs also from vegetable milk, i can't tolerate normal Milk for a long time unfortunatelly, even before diet. No sugar, no oils, no syrop, but cinnamon. Cinammon became my "sugar" us an incredible spice, nicely balaced sweet and i love it. I reduce meat alot, i ate once a week, plus fish, but more vegetables, for snak fruit, soups, i am careful with portion. Once în a while i eat a simple burger în a bun, without cheese, just burger with salad and a bit of home made sous. No more cheese and meat combination, either cheese and vegetables or meat and vegetables. Only vegetable Milk that has no added sugar. I also eat prune jam, without added sugar, pasta from beans, Brown Rice, if i have to eat toast, only whole grain bread no more than 2 slices per day. I learned alot of healthy habbits that now when i am în The City and eat something bad i try to make the best possible choice even for that (such as no more terrible combinations, for eg în sandwaches). I cred alot of my illnesses like this too, never felt better. But yes, i do beleive în induling în a desert or something that makes your mouth water once a week. The difference is that you don't do it every day, like before, and well, we can also enjoy life whole we are at it. The Point is this is a susțină le lifestye, în my oppinion. Alternate, but yes, you can do it even 3 days per week and still fell the amazing difference
Why do you need cheat days if the "restricted" eating is so fantastic? Make it make sense
WOW! The missing link in my fasting. NO SUGAR. NO HARMFUL OILS. Thanks! From the bottom of my heart. THANKS!🤩🙃🙃🙃🙃
Two men who are easy in their own skin and super insightful....Bravo!!
I found your channel a couple of weeks ago. I loved this interview.
Increasing the time of your IF is a game changer. 2 meals a day vs 1 meal a day is a game changer. Work your way towards OMAD and you will lose extra weight like crazy and get healthy super fast.
How do you cope with the weakness depression and depletion after a week on Omad ?
@@CJ-ft9yo I don't get any of that, get yourself fat adapted first.
@@jimbeaver27 I was, last week I felt good and not hungry on Omad. This week not good. Weak and unwell.
@@CJ-ft9yo eat more, eat until stuffed
I really appreciate how the channel does the conversation line on the screen💙
Love the visual timeline of the interview. Really helpful 🙌
It great. He's the only one doing it.

So candid and to the point! loved it!
Currently breaking a 7 day fast. Wish I came across this video before hand lol good info!
Really enjoyed this interview- he makes so much sense!! Thank you!! Phenomenal!!
Awesome interview Tom. Dave tied a lot of things together for me, I’ve never thought of the landing point as flexibility, wow. I have a lot of health based structures in play but have felt that if, for some reason said protocol, example -I’m high fat carnivore, became unsustainable then what would I do? I did not have the big working picture till hearing this interview. Plus I learned some great tips to making my health journey more productive and maybe a little less uncomfortable. I just ordered the soft copy of Fast This Way, I’m looking forward to the walk through. Thanks gentlemen 👍
Amazing interview thank you guys for your hard work and knowledge… I need to look up some information about fasting concerning Hypoglycemia and even diabetes
"Im not going to worry about getting my diet perfect". ❤ it!!!!
Love ur videos. Binging on alot of things and trying to detox and fix my lifestyle. Just started day 1 of my 30 day planned fast. I know my body. I’ll stop if it gets ridiculous. I have been living an unhealthy lifestyle a while now. Takeout almost every other night. 20 yrs old turning 21 this year. I know if i can make a change at anytime it should be NOW! Thanks for the educational videos always! And dealing with both sides of controversy so viewers can make there own choice!
I learned something substantial today, thank you for this invaluable interview👌🏼
What this guy had to be dropped off in a cave to do I have done in my own space in my home. This reminds me how we all have to make the most of our environments that is what we have available to us. Your cave absolutely can be your home if you commit to yourself. I feel fortunate that I wasn’t afraid of being alone in fact I embrace being alone. Having said all of that, I’m happy he found a way to realize his personal power.
Great video! Thank you both! Been playing with ketosis for 6 or 7 months. It's really amazing to be able to not be hungry when only eating once a day. Sometimes I end up fasting for the day just because I didn't get around to eating. I just need to remember to take my electrolytes and I feel great.
What electrolytes are you taking? Most electrolytes that you can mix with water have artificial sweetener and I am scared it will break my fast although it says zero calories.
@ariannmaeorquiza8838 It is one that Dr Berg sells. Its sweetener is stevia.
I absolutely loved this informative video. Thank you both!
God bless you tom, for giving us all of this awesome interviews
I’m about to do a spiritual fast for four weeks, thank you for interviewing him I’m excited to read the book, I just got it on audible! I guess listen to the book in that case. I did a six week fast a while ago, I have enough weight on me that I’m not in trouble, but I’ve never heard anyone talk about the adrenal gland and your gut bacteria, so I definitely want to read it so I’m not screwing myself over. Definitely don’t want hair loss! Lol thanks for great tips and hosting him woot woot
I just watched this video and immediately ordered the book from Amazon. I'm really excited about this!!
@15.51 that explains the story of my life. For the last five years I thought for sure I'm allergic to basically all food. Now I understand it seems like I just insensitive to those chemicals he talked about and I can tell they're affecting me. I fast for 16 hours a day minimum and I feel amazing and I've never looked better. All of my acne is cleared up. I've suffered was acne for over 20 years before I started fasting.
Tom you’re the best interviewer!
You have an informative channel too, Mike. I appreciate the different perceptions I hear on H.I.H.... and in 2020, you added some humor. Love it.

i did a vegetable broth fast for 30 days without knowing anything about fasting 30:yrs ago.. I just remember feeling so clean and my skin looked amazing! Now we have so many resources on the internet. ive just started 23/1 and i will keep it for life.. so easy to do less cooking!
I did it as well about 30 years ago for 21 days.I was feeling much energetic ,clean and happy it was amazing.I am going to repeat this fasting again.Thank you for remember it to me.❤.
Thanks so much to both of you. This was so useful.🙏
Nice interview. I learned a lot of stuff and it motivated me to study more on the subject. Very interesting!
He is more interesting to me than Jason fung , he is talking about pros and cons of fasting , breaking down the science , nothing is conclusive , and humans would have a different response , he also talked about about not necessarily inflicting pain upon ourselves . I like how he is not turning fasting into a dogma , and still talking about the benefits of fasting and how to maximize them but be aware of going to far .. love this sain content .

He talks faster too
I like him. I would not compare him to Jason Fung though. I have much respect for both men.
@@cookies4isaac522 I have much respect for both indeed , but this content is Just more inspiring , it resonated with our differences as humans , and to me is less dogmatic .
What I found was that once you started eating correctly and hydrating correctly your body starts communicating properly again and it kind of tells you what to do. I guess I do intermittent fasting but I don’t really do it intentionally it’s just what my body tells me to do. I usually go about 18 hours without eating and somewhere between 18 to 20 hours I have a fairly large meal Brian clued the leafy greens salad and usually tuna and a grow sprouts and get all the raw stuff in and sometimes I don’t need again or are you a smaller meal of a grass fed beef or salmon or something with some vegetables and that’s it for the day. I don’t make a conscious decision to not eat and sometimes I won’t eat at all during the day because I’m just not hungry at all and other days I’ll need to eat a little more but that’s probably 29 days a week just two meals a day with no snacking but I don’t do it intentionally.
I think to do an intentional fast especially for spiritual reasons it’s good if you’re just doing it for health reasons I say go for it make sure you hydrate properly but try it and if your body is speaking to you correctly and you’re eating properly normally your body is going to tell you if you’re hurting it and going too long. But once you become fat adaptive your body just eats fat when you’re not eating food at the time and you don’t really get crazy hungry or lightheaded or dizzy and fasting really isn’t that big of a deal. When you’re loading up on carbs and eating french fries and pizza and hamburgers all the time, good luck I could never go more than two or three hours without eating unless I was asleep. When I eat that stuff my body is constantly sending out signals that I have to eat immediately and then I’m hungry and starving but when I’m eating properly it’s just doesn’t really seem to matter and if I have days when I get busy and I’m working till eight or nine or 10 at night and haven’t eaten in 25 hours it’s not a big deal and I don’t get sick I don’t get huge cravings I get a tiny bit hungry maybe but not enough to stop me from doing something I need to do. I don’t think I fasted more than 48 hours before and I don’t know how my body would react but I could easily not eat anything tomorrow I’ll be fine the next day and it’s not really hurting anything I know it still be fully functional and OK as long as I’m hydrating properly and getting enough fluid and electrolytes. From a spiritual standpoint there’s a whole Nother angle on it and being hungry for a day or two because you’re not eating isn’t going to harm you physically you might get hungry and it might be difficult to do but if you’re doing it for spiritual purposes then that might be a good thing but if in general you’re eating properly and your body is fat adaptive going for five days without food is not going to hurt you it might be uncomfortable but it’s not going to cause you harm.
I love this guys enthusiasm for life ❤ thanks for this enjoyable chat.
I love the clarity and focus that comes with fasting🙌
Amazing learning experience ! Thank you both of you for creating this content !..just smart , brilliant !
Spot on! Been fasting since 2017 and can attest to alot of this
Spiritual fasting is so introspective and is definitely a time to take inventory of your shortfalls and practice forgiveness of self and others!! 36 hours in and I feel so at peace and clarity.
What is spiritual fasting?
@@savannakokitka601 Fasting thats not for weight loss but for a closer relationship and direction from God
Fasting on and off is a great idea for self-control and It's great for all around health... Fantastic video!
Thankyou Tom n Dave. Your insights were very timely for me.
Incredible interview
I just ordered Dave’s book because of your charcoal discussion. I’m on day 8 of Fasting February and that is valuable information. Taking a liquid probiotic is good each morning as well I pray-hopefully thr nook will mention that subject as well.
