- In this video I embark on a 72 hour water fast where I abstain from solid food and only drink water for three days! I discuss WHY I would do such a thing, the benefits I was looking for, and the final results. Most importantly, I take you with me day by day so you can see and hear what my experience was like, good and bad. Armed only some nuggets of pink Himalayan salt and copious amounts of water, I set off on this liquid journey to discover if the hype of this FAST is real...
Steps I followed
- 48-36 Hours Before the Fast - Prepare Your Body with low fat, low carb food
- Only drink water, with a little pink salt for electrolytes
- 12 Hours Fasting - Enter the Metabolic State
- 18 Hours Fasting - Switch to Fat-Burning Mode
- 24 Hours Fasting - Autophagy
- 48 Hours Fasting - Increase gut health Levels
- 54 Hours Fasting - Insulin Levels Drop to Lowest Point
- 72 Hours Fasting - Generation of New Immune Cells and lower inflammation
- After the Water Fast - Go low and slow in first 36 hours with healthy foods

David, we appreciate everything you do for us. Thank you.
I started my 3 day water fast on Friday the 29th. I ended Monday April 1st in the morning. I was under a renal Doctor's supervision. I had baseline bloodwork before and then again drawn on Monday. The blood results showed a marked improvement. I lost 10 pounds and only had mild gastric irritation. I was drinking black coffee and that more than likely was the cause. I also had green tea without cream or sweetner in the coffee or tea. I actually did 3 days and 10 hours because I had to wait and get blood drawn. Post fast I am drinking smoothies or Juices for 48 hours. Then my regular Mediterranean Diet. For me 3 days is enough and every 3 months I can do another fast. I do have health issues but with a good diet and fasting seems to be keeping me stable. I am also implementing 16:8 intermittent Fasting. I am 65 .
I would love to know if you did a a follow up on the bloodwork. Would be interesting to see how long the positive effects last.
I have bloodwork on th 24th of April and the 30th of may. I plan to do a 3 day fast every 3 months. I will update on this video.@@sanderbass
I had further bloodwork completed and showed improvement. The weight stayed off and is going down. I am exercising on a stationary bike and using exercise resistance bands for toning up. I had planned to do only 2 - 3 day water fasts a year but have decided to do one every 3 months. I will update.
@@aircrewable thanks for the update! Really interesting
Hey David, you inspired me with just the announcement of this last week and I was waiting for this video of yours to post and you posted while I'm in the middle of a fast. I am now 41 hours into my 3 day water fast with Himalayan pink salt and yes a coffee to start the day! My worst part was hunger headaches the first evening after 18-20 hours. A little blah and draggy earlier today (Day 2) but a nap cured that. Tomorrow is day 3! Thanks for the inspiration for this particular trip to Shrublands. We're both the same age so I look forward to my results.
How do you feel now?
@@chrisschofield3564 day 3 now, feeling good (looking forward to eating tonight but a few more pounds have come off after 2 days with my morning weigh in.
I’m going on an Omega fast, wearing my Rolex for 3 days 😅😊
Oh I like that, 😂 funny.🍸
Phil Mickelson has been an advocate of these fasts for years, I utilized these 3 day fasts once monthly in addition to rigorous exercise beginning in the fall of 2019 and this caused me to lose 80 pounds in 6 months. Turned me from a guy who couldn’t do a push up into a guy who runs marathons.
Great video, thanks David
Really enjoyed this video David. Well done and would love to see more of these !
I’m going to give this a shot- thank you for posting
Hi David, this is fascinating.. With all of the rain that we’ve been having in SoCal lately my winter weight has spiked & GI has been off too. I’m definitely encouraged to give this fast a try. Thanks for the information! 👍🏻
Two things I would add: 1) it's ok to have black coffee (or black tea). It does not break your fast. Obviously no sugar or cream (or artificial sweeteners). And 2) I would recommend adding potassium and magnesium to your electrolyte intake. Edit - I wrote my comment before I finished. I see you added coffee. 👍
It’s only three days. Skip the coffee and tea, and give your adrenal system a reboot too
This is very inspiring. You have motivated me to try a 24 hour fast and see how it goes. Thank you.
Grow a set, do 3 days
Great work David! Getting Bond strong isn't easy but it gives us motivation to improve everyday
That was fascinating!
Last year, I was told I had Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.
To be honest it scared so much I completely changed my diet in a matter of days.
I lost over 11lbs in about 8 weeks.
By the time of the second round of tests, there was a almost complete improvement in my liver health.
I’ve kept to the diet, but the weight loss has stubbornly stopped.
But I’d like to lose another 3 lbs, so this is just the sort of thing I’d like to try.
Brilliant. Very inspiring, thank you.
I like that this channel can also be a Bondesque lifestyle channel too. Please keep up the great work.
I’ll up your 3 days water fast with 3 months plus and counting alcohol free. Sugar is next, a work colleague in R&D gave up sugar 4 years ago and is healthier than ever with zero inflammation. Sugar is one of the biggest health issues the West faces.
Thanks for sharing. I knew about fasting but you’ve inspired me to give it a try. As much as I love coffee I can skip it for three days to give my adrenal glands something of a reset. I’ve already reduced my coffee intake down to one cup a day.
Champ! I did this last month and had similar results to you. I did keep my 2 a-day black coffees, its a god send for suppressing the appetite. I was fairly active and did some swimming during and a HIIT circuit hours after breaking it, no issues. only tough period was around the 48 hr mark , I think the mind is in gear on the last day as we realise it's nearly over! good points... better to crunch on some salt than taste it in water. I broke with a salmon omelette. Would recommend introducing meat no earlier than the following day
Well done that's inspirational
Inspiring
Definitely something I am interested in doing for weight loss reasons, I put on a little after travelling which I'd like to get rid of. I can see you noticeably lost weight in the face. Thanks for sharing!
Great video, David. I will start this evening after dinner and will post an update after it. Wish me luck. LOL
So I'm glad to say that I survived my 72-hour water fasting. Glad to be part of the club. I was afraid of suffering with hunger pains and headaches but in fact I wasn't hungry at all and didn't have a single headache. It was surprisingly easy for me. Losing weight was not my goal but I tracked the loss and at the end I lost 008 pounds. Definitely the most important thing was to learn that I can eat better paying attention to what I eat and having smaller portions. My plan now is to make this part of my routine fasting one day per week. Thank you for your video, David. Great stuff!!!
@@cesarjr7 Good to hear
Just did my second. Five days this time! It was oddly easier than the three day.
This is fascinating and I have to try this! I had serious gut issues from LOTS of antibiotics due to 4 separate Lyme's disease infections over a 10 year period, ending 2016. Although I did a successful medically supervised program of high probiotics to rebuild my gut flora a few years ago, I wonder if some of my current issues are from this time. I did a 38 hour fast and it was awful but I really have to try this. Problem is that I am a foodie and a cook. Can I do it if I have one shot of espresso in the morning? That could make it easier.
Very interesting video, David. Did you still workout at all during the fast? Also, do you have any specific links to sites that you referenced? Thanks always for the great content.
Sorry. Watched the video again and see you mentioned you worked out on the third day.
End of second day looked like the morning after a very heavy session in the pub.
This is an interesting experiment. I practice intermittent fasting but have never done the multiple day of fasting. This does make me think about this. As far as inflammation goes the stomach is on area but a lot of inflammation are muscles and especially joints. Did you see any impact in those areas?
Started this yesterday. I did not consume many calories before hand. This morning 4 pounds gone. Once complete i will not stuff my face with food.
I tried this. Now I'm writing from beyond the grave!
How is it from beyond the grave?
Make sure to visit Spectreville! 🙌🏻
F.I.P. 💀
Fool
Is there a set amount of water you should drink per day as I'm interested in giving this a try 😇
David just noticed your Rain 2 has 4 buttons!!!! Did you get one added? (Mine only had 3 but I got shortened!)
I'm starting a 3 day fast tonight. I will consume water and black coffee (in the morning) along with the amount of sodium, potassium, and magnesium I would normally get per day. It's important to keep your electrolytes in balance during a fast.
Very Shrublands David but how much water did you consume and with what regularity eg one litre every hour etc ??
I did something similar, gut health, but with food. Just selective foods, over a slower period, 30 days. The Plant Paradox diet. All about avoiding inflammation foods. It does work, and i felt better and even lost weight, needed less food. When i got off it, weight came back, but it took several years. If i did it again I'd just have to stick to it better. Sustainability is always the key.
I know this was a few days ago so how do you feel now? What has changed in your energy, gut and overall well being?
Yes, I would also be interested how this works out longer term.
I've done this twice before. The first time was ok. The second time the hunger was intense and never really subsided. It distracted me the whole time and made me miserable. I can feel that I should do it again but not really ready.
Going three full days without food doesn't seem like a great idea. I tried something akin to this back when I was in my early 20’s. I drank only water mixed with lemon juice and a bit molasses and cayenne pepper. The molasses is to help keep your sugar levels from crashing. It was called The Master Cleanse. Something many people overlook is that your body already has great filtration functions with your kidneys and liver. There is however, evidence to suggest that caloric restriction through intermittent fasting can be useful. And then gradually pushing up to 20 hours without food. This path can help reduce the level of ghrelin hormone that the body produces which can make such efforts easier if done in moderation over time.
If you really want to discern if the effects you’re hoping to achieve are in fact real, I would think medical supervision at the very least would be the best option. Many people try things like this and convince themselves psychologically that something is real with no objective observation from someone qualified to assess the results. Given that you mentioned inflammation and being in contact with your doctor, I’m guessing this base has been covered.
As an effort to test your mettle, I could see this as an interesting exercise. I can tell from previous experience that by day three if not sooner, you’ll likely be feeling quite weak. This will vary from person to person depending on health and the amount of nutrients in long-term storage/white fat cells.
Do a two day fast with Bentoniye Clay & organic pysllium husk then a salt flush on day 3...Then 10 days juicing greens, then two days water drinks on day 13 & 14....Then you'll see a huge difference.
Did your sleep improve on the second night?
I tried. I started 11pm on Tuesday and we are midday Friday and I was so weak and irritable and tired I gave up and had some chicken. It was the best that I have ever eaten. Maybe I should not have continued to do a daily run. I was sleeping for 10 hours which is unlike me. I came close. I just felt like I would pass out.
You work for a pharmaceutical company 😄 i dont feel bad for you David😂😂😂
Im curious in the results of this.
I tried it, lasted 1 day, I had big time sleeping issues more so than hunger pangs. Not being able to sleep is a dealbreaker for me.
Ive been doing this for years. Anything between 24-72hours, to make weight for Martial Arts tournaments be that striking or grappling. I prefer it to a water cut which dehydrayes you.
My body feels a lot better not having an insulin rollercoaster
I tend to go red meat or fish post fast.
Great video David.
"The Bond Experience" - doing things Bond would never do/experience 😜
"I don't even play one on TV" - nice friends reference.
Can you have a black coffee in the morning.. I need that 😂
I don't have the storage space to live with you every day😜
Almost all of the weight loss is water. It'll all come right back.
I once fasted 10 days for Lent. I allowed myself black coffee, vitamins and fiber tablets. I definitely needed prayer to get myself through it, but the middle days were kind of easy. The end?... tough! I did lose probably 3-4 lbs after the big water weight loss of 10lb came back.
Hasn’t come back. And it wasn’t water weight loss. Your absolutely swimming in water.
@@TheBondExperience You definitely lose some water weight but I disagree that all of it was water, you will go into ketosis quite quickly not eating anything and start burning fat. Typically obese people will lose mostly water weight in the early going, and David clearly isn't obese.
They are made a movie based on Ian Fleming
I don't know if this strategy is wise or not .... But If nothing else, everyone from time to time should indeed take stock of what their diet consists of....& Improve upon it. 🍸
You know what is not wise? Eating a diet full of sugar, carbohydrates, and processed food.
🤔
I can't do it. I go hypoglycemic
Same here
Once i tried it at 30 hours i blacked out after going the toilet wife found me on the floor i am pre diabetic im also a nurse the endinocrologist i know told me to try intermittant fasting . I once tried living on meat for a month also the results were profound my hearing eyesight improved i think though it was the no intake of no sugar not the eating meat but i was told it was no good for my cholesterol so i eat meat vegetables but no longer eat pastas rice white potatoes etc .
Should have had a before picture
and an after picture.
Id say that your eyes look worse at the end.
He didn't sleep the 3rd night, I think that is the biggest problem with a multi-day fast.
Did you experience any diarrhea?
I have an autoimmune disease, and I would never do water fast ever in my life
No wonder you're sick
You don’t look in your 60 your look 40s
He's 56
He's not in his 60's
David have you ever considered rebooting your immune system? It's quite simple, you overdose on vitamin C, every hour you take 1000mg of vit c every hour until you induce diarrhoea. & thats lt.this process kick starts your immune system start eating clean diet wise & you will feel a huge feeling of euphoria & health benifits. It sounds questionable but it works. let us know if you decide to do it, done it going to do it. good luck?
April fools??
This is a bad idea and definitely not science-based.
Not true. You've been lied to by clueless doctors, the USDA, and food companies. Look how obese the US has become in the last 40 years thanks in large part to their horrible advice.
Disagree, many medical websites recommend intermittent fasting for eg.
No offense, but your take on fasting is quite wrong. It is scientifically proven that fasting is extremely healthy.
Wrong
Not for everybody yes, but has decent science behind it
The worst thing about fasting is that it works so well you’ll find yourself cheating a little more often on your diet. It is a double edged sword. 😂 3-7 days fast every 3-4 months. Best wishes! 💪🏼🫶🏼
