I just got chewed out yesterday on an exercise UA-cam channel by another UA-cam blogger for fasting 4 days. I was told I need to eat at least twice daily for health so I'll not comment on fasting. I was told I was stupid. I didn't have the heart to tell him/her I was on day 3 of a fast, just finished my 3 mile run, lost 52 pounds in 7 months and off all 4 prescription medications since I started intermittent and prolonged fasting. If only I was as smart as other people.
Lol...this first rule of fasting club is not to talk about fasting
Your awesome
So long as you keep exercising during your fast you'll never have the issue of weight loss slowing down. If u have fat to lose, and you keep expending energy, your body will keep preserving muscle and burning fat. If you're ever feeling low on energy just drink more snake juice ( it's salt/electrolyte water. google the recipe). Doing semi-regular 4-day fasts ain't gonna hurt anything. The person who threw a fit is ignorant of what it takes to be healthy. Obviously, re-feeding is important but the goal is balance. Eating every day WILL kill you eventually.
Key to immortality = Fasting/Exercise/Saunas/Ice Baths or starvation stress, physical stress, heat stress, and cold stress. It's those different types of stress that activates all the beneficial longevity mechanisms in the body. Stress leads to strength!
Fasting didn’t do the trick to make you lose weight. Not eating as much was what did it. If you ate 3 smaller meals throughout the day it would do the exact same thing but also might have helped keep more muscle on you
I hear this all the time. Telling me how unhealthy it is to go a whole day without eating. No one said anything when I was 265 pounds at just 5'7 about me being unhealthy. Good job, and keep doing what works for you.
I did 72 hour fast two weeks ago and now I am doing 16-8. Everything about fasting is amazing, autophagy ,hgh, feeling healthier and stronger, it makes you appreciate food even more when it's time to eat.
im water fasting rn and yes the point to appreciate food is so true xD i'm dying right now for a good burger with fries lol.
Gotta push thru it tho!!
You should move up to 20-4. Once you hit 18 hours it feels amazing. And if you work out right at the end of the fast you burn twice as much fat.
@@view13s8 I DESPISED longer fasts and even 16 hours. Everyone's different.
I do 16 to 17 fast every day and sometime get to 20 hours but struggle beyond 20.
Yes, I do between 17-20 hours a day. I dropped mucho weight and your belly shrinks inside and outside. I just can't take on the amount of food I use to especially carbs
WARNING: I followed Thomas's learnings and information for the last 5-7 years and all I have to show for it is a super healthy, fit body, high energy, and improved mental health and mood.
That was highly triggering ✊✊✊
Mind if I ask you some questions about a few herbs/supplements I take and how they can affect fasting? I am about 4 months in to a weekly monk fast and the amount of information/misinformation is pretty overwhelming. Its hard to get big youtubers to reply to anything/ answer questions lol. I also recognize that they are just good foundations to figure out what works for you and to do it safely.
That is terrible 😢
Damn...well glad you gave the warning.....sorry about the super healthy fit body and all the other benefits....tough hey! YOU are inspo!
That’s dangerous 😊
Thanks Thomas! 👍
I have progressed to:
1. 36-42 hour Alternate Day Fasting M-F.
2. 60 hour extended fasting F-S.
3. I’m 64 & in good health.
4. I eat healthy 80% of the time.
5. Portion size discipline is difficult, but improving.
6. I’m satisfied with my weight loss progress & fitness program.
When do u get to eat? It seems like ur always fasting! LOL! 😳😂😁
@@chilover9154
1. On alternate days, I allow a 12 hour feeding period.
2. On those days, I eat 80% healthy, 20% ad libitum.
3. Monday night, at an REI meeting, I ate 5 slices of greasy pizza.
4. 36 hours later, my scale says I’ve lost 2 pounds.
5. So while my accumulated fast/feed hours are roughly 80/20, during that 20% I eat well.
6. This regimen works better for me than “dieting”.
7. And remember, at least 38% of those fasting hours, I’m sleeping! 😴
I'm 61 and 18:6 daily. I know Thomas does not recommend this but it's worked for me. Every 6-8 weeks I fast 4-5 days. It's been life changing for my health,
@@markwhite6782 I think that whatever works for you as everyone is different
@markwhite6782 he says it can take 2 hrs for your body to go into a fasting state...so with a 6 hr window it be that you are "fed up" for the 8 hrs with 16 total fasting hrs..that's how I understand it anyway. Ohh and the term "fed up" comes from Falconry
I do 16-8 and every other week a 36-48 hour fast. I've lost close to 50 pounds since February and am in the best shape I've been in for over 4 years.
What were you like 5 yrs ago?
@@cappaslangmurderer I was in the USAF and was about 175 points at 5' 10". I left and went to grad school and gained 50 pounds while there due to a course load so heavy all I could eat was "fast food" like processed dinners or literal drive through service. After I graduated in February I started IF and working out about 2-3 times per week and I got back down to 175 in 6 months. I'm back up to 185 currently but I have far .ore muscle mass and the lowest body fat percentage (about 10%) I've ever had. I'm hoping to further restrict carbs after the holidays and get down to about 8%.
When i do extended fasting (longer than 24 hrs), i have so much extra time and i love organizing my house, cleaning, ironing etc when im hungry and it works great physically and mentally.
I really appreciate you for not being affraid (or doing so in spite of fear) to change/adjust/update your views, opinions and perspective on something you have been identified with/known for for years. It takes integrity and courage and shows the sense of responibility you carry 💪 I know know it's a little off topic and general ;) but it's just so heart-warming to see 💚
I'm day 5 into 20/4 fasting, I'm eating 300g Mince beef, 4 eggs, 1 pepper, 1 chilli, 2 cloves of garlic, 2cm tumeric root, 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder, hot cayenne powder and smoked paprika with hymalayin salt and black pepper feeling full and less hungry.
Going on intensive hikes around 10k steps both incline and decline through the hills near mine @ 18 hours also having cold shower an hour before I go on my hike.
I've struggled with addiction the past 18 years alcohol, cocaine, gambling, eating and smoking I weigh 19stone @ 6ft 1... I'm 5 weeks sobre and smoke free enjoying being sobre just need to stay on track my before and after pic to date is night and day only way is up from here.
Hi -I eat VERY similar to yourself and fast 16/8. Just a word of caution. I saw a video about Oxalates which cause kidney stones. I haven't stopped all the spices but I've cut down the "doses" I've also increased garlic and ginger and decreased tumeric. (I mix them all together in a tupperware to save time opening each packet).Obviously do your own research. Hope this helps.
I hope your journey is going well being sober and all that comes with addictions? 👍🏴
Your God bless you and protects you of temptation. Keep up your good work
Well done! I am patting you on the back 🌟 hope you are still happier & healthier ! 🙏🏼💐🇬🇧
*UPDATE* I've had a few relapses life hadn't been great, i was doing well took a career change and moved 6 hours away to work as a chef being trained on the job but had to return as my partner is sick has 2cm growth in her colon she is having it removed on 9th prior to returning my mind was on overdrive and I relapsed I'm 2 weeks sobre and am 2 days into a fast I now weigh 15st 9lb so lost over 3st in 7 months, going back to keto and 20/4 fast after I finish this one want to push myself to 7 days but will see how if goes... been cooking healthy clean keto foods little to no sugar for my partner , she really wanted some fresh bread I cooked for the kids today so she had a slice best loaf I've made to date... cooking keeps me grounded. Good luck everyone
Thomas, you're on a roll with great videos lately! You're starting to churn out high quality content like none other. You're now my favorite fitness health expert.
I have lost over 40 pounds with intermittent fasting. Your videos are my favorite. They have helped me so much!
Really enjoyed the recapping format, thanks!
Thanx for your great advice as always Thomas!
Thank you for this valuable video 🙌🏼
Thank you for sharing so much great information. So great of you !
Just the video I needed thanks Thomas
Today after ending 21 days water/tea/coffee fast + electrolytes sometimes. My First meal is extreme strong fatty bone broth 🍜 and i feel OK like no fasting whatsoever!
Another great video, thanks!
Very helpful, as always ! Thanks 😊
Great video Thomas!!!
Excellent concise tips, thank you Thomas. 👍
Thanks... never stop please
Watching you for the last year has change my life and what I put into my body. Thank you!
Perfect explanation for me. Thank you!
thank you! that was easy helpful information to follow.
Thank you so much for sharing❤
Your videos are so helpful, especially this one! Thank you a lot 🙏 Subscribed 😊
Great job!
incredible! Thank you so much
Fascinating and useful!
One of your best videos
Thanks so much!!!
Your fasting videos have helped me a TON. I’m down 41lbs so far. And I feel like I’m just getting started.
Quick question though, how long would you recommend in the hot bath?
Also when you do OMAD, do you do it multiple days or just as a tool here and there? OMAD has been my biggest tool in losing weight.
I don't care what other people think. Fasting, intermittent fasting, carnivore, I love it all and it works for me. So just do you, be good to yourself, and tell people to mind their own business.😉😅
Well said!!!
Great video
Really good research backed information the world needs ppl like you
great information
Well done, thank you Sir
Lovin the Science Information, I always apply your UA-cam info concerning fasting and workouts✌️
I love that thanks for all the ideas 👍💐
I have been watching your videos for over a year. I started IF June 2021, and in August 2021, my hubby got cancer..... stomach cancer! He had his entire stomach removed. I stayed strong and continued my own journey, through his chemo & adjusting to our new lifestyle in 2022. I'm down 114, and still have a LOT to go. But I'm STUCK! I tried your reset break at the end of 2022 and gained some weight. At the new year, I started back & dropped the increase. But I can't get past that one number. I'm hanging working 3-5 pounds of it and the more I stress, the more I'm increasing cortisol and the more it's keeping me where I am.
I'm managing with hubby having to eat 8-12 times a day and me fasting, or ADF, and family get togethers, etc. But I just can't get the scale moving again. I'm at the end of my rope and don't know what to do!
Eric berg has lots of videos in how to manage people with cancer and chemo. Do check him out.
Thank you Thomas 😊
Very important video... 💯✔️
This is great news! I'm most hungry around 4pm which is when I typically head to the gym after work! So I will try to make my fast work around that! I'm new to fasting but I've been doing keto/almost Atkins for a bit now and I'm rarely hungry any more so I feel I can actually finally fast. Thank you for giving out this great info!
You're superb! You're filling in the gaps of knowledge with practical inspiring advice. Thank you, from the Isle of Anglesey, Wales, UK.
Thank you Thomas

Great video 📹 👍
I love Thrive Market!
Dang lookin good Delaeur been watching your videos for about a year now and your look younger. Congrats keep it up
Like the new style Tom
Loving the SEED product! What a difference
Do you have any videos on slow-carb dieting and fasting?
Love your channel; your videos are to the point, and applicable to us, mere mortals, trying to learn from you👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
These videos just get better and better or maybe I'm just finally getting it after much repeating of the info, using various angles which is just how I learn.
Actually they are getting better. I remember that in some earlier videos, he would talk so fast it was almost annoying 😝. But now he really understands this so much better than before and he’s constantly learning. He diligently studies this stuff. I recently took a basic biology class and Thomas could have taught it without even trying. My eyes have been opened. He knows his stuff.
This is very accurate
This is what I've been doing and I'm seeing good results my 1st week. I'm on a low carb and no sugar regimen. I just weights and workout fasted.
Awesome
@Thomas DeLauer tells exactly what i learned from my own experiences with fasting and exercise. This is absolutely true. Fasting without proper exercise will slow down your metabolism.
I've heard that - drink water and exercise when you feel hungry! Great to have that old adage supported by science. I'm just starting OMAD and have been wary of any 'serious' workouts thinking my cortisol will spike and I'll be defeating the purpose. Will go back to the workout plan for sure this week. Thanks for the post!
Good info- gonna go hop in my sauna now...
🗣🔥🙌YES! Currently doing a 72 hour fast (once a month!) I intermittent fast most days of the month, 16/8, and 20/4, with maybe 5-8 days a month of refeeding and eating 3x a day. This has done WONDERS FOR ME!! I only do fasts on weekends I know I can take my last day of my fast completely off work so I can fully rest the last day. 🙏 I always lift weights on day 1 and day 2 of my fast, and I still walk 3-4 miles or cycle 7-10 miles every day. I always use quality sea salt 🧂 in my water when I fast🙏. I think the refeed week in my month is CRUCIAL to maintaining and being able to not only maintain, but GET stronger. 💪
😂
Sounds like a great plan
Wonderful!!!
Great plan, if you don't mind me asking what do you eat on your re feed week?
I’m 23
March 1st weighed 253 pounds
May 13th weighing in at 231 pounds
I did 2 weeks of 16/8 then progressed
3 weeks of 19/6
And currently on my
1 week of 20/4💪💪 which I plan to stay at for a couple weeks/months
I workout fasted at 9am and break my fast at 3pm-7pm! Feel like I get adrenaline rushes throughout the whole day!
I do HIT & Weightlifting 3/4 days per week
So inspiring! Thank you!
How can you do 19/6? There is only 24 hours in a day!😂

Update still following my this same plan currently to date 5 months later 196!
Beo thanks
Thank you for slowing down your speech! I used to get headaches trying to keep up with you!
Good video here
I do all this. Except the sauna thing. I’m so glad I’m on the right track
Dude major tip! A hot bath I can apply right away, a sauna I would need to switch to a more expensive gym.
Thomas please make a video of a whole week of yourself how, what, when you eat and exercise and all the tips as well! I think it would help many to mimic at least 30% of your lifestyle to a right track…I’ve been following you for years and have implemented many tips of yours and still to this day I don’t miss your videos. Thanks to you, I’ve learned a lot and I’m grateful not just for my own improvements but also to be able to explain to my family and friends what to do, how to eat it’s been an amazing transformation for many. Thank you again🙏
I started fasting 18-6 3 months ago due to fatty liver diagnosis. IBeing 5’8”; used to weight 174 lbs and now I weight 162.. Not a heavy dude, just a sugar and carb lover. I’m also doing iketo low carb diet. I sure hope that in 3 months my US of my liver shows improvement. Thanks for all your advice and content, It has helped me a lot.
Hope its going well man, how you trucking along another month down the line? Keep putting that work in.
but elevates LDL.
everything else will be perfect though 👍
( somethings got to give )
@@jpdoc5722_What elevates LDL? It is youe triglycerides-count that is important anyway, not LDL. Even LDL is split in two when it comes to good and bad cholesterol. Watch dr. Ken Berry on this topic...you have it all wrong._
Great video! I’ve been fasting for about 1.5 years so now I want to take it to the next level. Thanks.
Excellent!😊
Add epsom salts to the hot bath, and you absorb the magnesium through the skin. It helps me to get through a multi-day fast without feeling draggy. I don't like to take electrolytes orally during fast, and this feels more natural.
You need the electrolytes if doing 48h+ fasting
@@a.c.slater573 Nah, just magnesium. I've done many 7-day fasts. Your body adjusts to the lack of salt, but still seems to need the magnesium. The best way to absorb it is through the skin.
@@aquamarine99911 We are all different I guess, I just know I have way more energy and less hunger when I take sodium chloride and potassium on a fast - I supplement with magnesium glycinate daily regardless

For the Yin/Yang for fasting breaks, how do I do this ? Should I increase my feeding window from 16:8 to 14:10 or 12:12?
Started day 5 of my 18:6 IF. Feeling great. Good to know that I should add exercise. I already lost 4lbs (probably water weight). Gonna move to 20:4 next week
Nice 😎👍
How do you feel about a lifestyle plan centered around a once a week 36-hour water fast? Just curious because I’m in the process of creating one
I have been intermittent-fasting for several years - it is very effective and it is not difficult
Sauna blanket….also winter time …Plus
Working 12-hours shifts, at night I’m always cold
Just finished a three days fast and I feel amazing also I wasn't hungry for the entire fast
I like this guy the most well represented fitness youtuber, I beem following him many yrs already
1.25x speed works for me. Another great video !
Do you have any recommendations for a decent infrared sauna blanket?
I’m curious to know, since grehlin/hunger is what initiates autophagy, if this still occurs to the same level in people that fast while on medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro? As their hunger is massively reduced, albeit through stimulation of other hormones GLP1 and GIP, would this not have an impact on the levels of grehlin released?
Hi Thomas, how long would you recommend for extended fast? For autophagy
Ive recently put on a lot of weight from 8 months of very heavy lifting at the gym. Went from 14 stone to 17 stone. Obviously some of it water and fat but alot of muscle as my bodyfat is around 15%. Havent fasted in all that time. Trying to restart but the hunger at this size is insane. I thought I had amazing focus to fast easily in the past but Im feeling alot of respect for obese people that lose that weight how hungry being bigger makes you,
I’ve been trying some different dietary patterns to help bring down my blood sugar, even though I am not technically overweight. It has been way more frustrating than losing the first 45 pounds were. I didn’t really have to go to extremes, in my opinion, at all. Although I do remember that sometimes on weekends because I would eat richer food, I would be less hungry, and so I would sometimes skip a meal, not as punishment, but because, I had gotten used to eating when I had an appetite. I did that on three meals a day with no sweets, and all the food on one plate, five days a week. I had extras on weekends, which it first were over the top, but eventually, I changed appetite didn’t want to accommodate that kind of over eating anymore. I started all that in January 2010. I think I would have to suffer some kind of brain injury to ever go back to the kind of over eating I did. But hearing that you took some time to game is making me wonder because I have to eat so little in order to get it my fat stores that it sounds almost daunting. And yes, I do have a lot of respect now for people who’ve had to slog along with a few of the most reinforcing rewards. That’s why when I was losing weight, the scale was never what I allowed myself to put too much emphasis on. It was more enjoying the food I had, and being so happy that I wasn’t binging anymore.
Your body fat is definitely over 20%
You need to prepare for fasts by first dropping your carbs 9:28.
If you drop your carbs at least the day before starting a fast, focusing on eating foods that are primarily protein/fat based, you won't be spiking your blood sugar, so you won't be triggering your hunger hormones. If your hunger hormones aren't spiked, you'll find you can easily fast since you don't have food cravings caused by the blood sugar/insulin spikes that carbs cause.
If you keep eating carbs, it will make it extremely difficult to fast, since you will continue to spike your blood sugar, then when it drops, you start feeling the effects of hunger as your body insists on telling you it needs to have it's blood sugar level raised again, since you're trained it to be a "sugar burner".
Choose your foods a day or two before you fast (look up "list of keto foods"), to ensure they are low/no carb, and you'll find that ravenous appetite that keeps nagging at you will go away.
It's not because of what you weight that you've got that appetite, it's because of what you've been eating. Make a conscious effort to eliminate carbs, keep them below 20g a day (5g is even better), and you'll find you're appetite no longer controls you, and you'll be able to fast easily.
It's the carbs that are getting you in trouble, not the increased muscle mass.
I've been carnivore for about 50 days and I just finished a 5 day fast 2 days ago. During that fast I was not hungry at all. Hopefully I still got some benefits.
I have lost 27 pounds in these 50 days so I'm not too concerned.
Does taking a 2 day break after fasting 5 days count as a break? I've been 18:6 fasting, sometimes a bit more, 5 days off weekends and I still feel insanely hungry throughout the fast. Thx!
Hey I lost 50Lbs in 4 months intermittently fasting but I’m concerned about my immune system I’m learning about the 💉 and how my body would create S protein antibodies that could potentially get to my heart and cause problems, I haven’t had any symptoms yet but it’s only been 2 years , I’ve been taking cold showers and fasting so In theory my immune system would increase and by extension would that mean that I am now producing more S protein antibodies in my blood 🩸? Please help
If you take a hot shower instead of a bath and bask in the shower for a while does it have similar effects to a bath/ sauna in terms of autophagy? Were talking searin hot shower burn skin off type
Since grehlin is what we’re after seems as though the GHS peptide GHRP-6 could be an important tool to use. As it will certainly stimulate ghrelin, not to mention an uptick In endogenous GH release will free more fatty acids into the bloodstream.
I had low carb diet yesterday. I am 21 hours into fasting, I am planning to go to a sauna tonight to expedite autophogy. Hopefully this takes a pound of weight and repairs body little bit.
Hello, just want to know does beetroot(400g in juice form everyday) sustain or stop autophagy?
I have been doing fasting 18/6 for several weeks, into day one of 3 day fast. I am 76, looking forward to next 48 hours.
Well I'll be darned!
Man, I get so much out of your videos, but this one has been exceptionally useful to me. I started doing one meal a day about 15 years ago and at first it was great and then I got to the point where I'd actually forget to eat for 2 days if I was busy working on a project that I was really interested in. Now I've changed a lot about how I fast since then, but the huge takeaway for me here is that when I got to the point where I never felt hungry even fasting for 48+ hours straight, it wasn't necessarily a good thing and if anything a sign to kick back into time restricted eating for a while, then reset my hunger response and get back to fasting. Brilliant stuff, thanks! Also, as someone that's been using a near-infrared sauna for well over a decade, I always avoided going in the sauna during fasts because I'd often get dizzy afterward. I'm going to give it another shot because I didn't add electrolytes (minerals) to my water and I think that's why I got dizzy in the sauna. Now that I use electrolytes, I think it should do away with that problem.
You have good genes.
@@SharkFishSF Haha, everything's got a tradeoff. It took me two and a half years to start gaining muscle from calisthenics while I watched people doing it for 2 weeks and surpassing me in every way. I lose weight easily, but gain muscle with great difficulty. I know a few people in the exact opposite situation. Not sure which one's better, really. We all have to just work with what we've got, I suppose.
@@tsuobachi 2.5 years is a normal time if you ask me, I started out in 2019, and have gained so much knowledge in these 3 years, fixed my life health-wise speaking, thank God I found these people sooner in my 20s.
What is your age now? Are you still doing OMAD? I too tried OMAD some time, couldn't keep with the discipline.
@@tsuobachi calisthenics is very tiring for me, I do deadlifts once or twice a week and make sure the weights are enough to make my heart beat fast.
@@SharkFishSF I'm 44 now, but no one would ever guess it. Most people assume I'm 30-something. I think fasting a lot for 15+ years has definitely played a big part in that. As for one meal a day, I do it sometimes when I'm in the mood to just eat a bunch or only have time to eat once for the day, but mostly I don't do it anymore. It's great for days where you have to travel but don't feel like doing a full 24 hour fast.
I've learned more and more about health and fitness and fasting over the years, and it seems that for me personally at least my hormones start to get out of balance if I do one meal a day too much. I just eat everything within 3-5 hours now and fast the rest of the day. I often do 1-3 day water fasts (about every 7-15 days I'll do a water fast, but I don't set an amount of time--I just wait until my body says it's time to be done and stop the next day) and once every season I'll do a dry fast or a longer water fast.
As we age, it's very important to maintain muscle mass, so I hope you keep up with everything you're doing so you don't have to get back into it like a lot of people do in their 40s, 50s, etc. Just make it a lifestyle and stick with it and you'll always be biologically younger than your years, haha
If excersice is a more powerfull autophagy inducer, is it even worth it to fast anyway? I just have that doubt, amazing content as always Thomas!!
I recently did a three day fast with a 20 minute ice bath each night. The benifits were mind blowing and the list of ailments it fixed is to long to list here. I cannot recommend this highly enough as it felt like my body got a fresh new start.
I would try the sauna, but I can attest to the ice baths. My idea behind it was to try force my body to clean up as much as possible with gluconeogenisis.
Like Wim Hoff 👌🏽
@@veetownsendxexcept he doesn't do the fasting side of it
