Fasting can be an effective tool for weight loss. However if used inappropriately, can result in some not good situations. The patient's situation in this case isn't quite like the intermittent fasting schedules that are popular today.
These cases are patients who I, or my colleagues have seen. They are de-identified and many instances have been presented in more depth in an academic setting. These videos are not individual medical advice and are for general educational purposes only. I do not give medical advice over the internet.

banana good
Yes

yes indeed
Mmmmm banana
GIVE BANANA
remember kids: 23 bananas a day doesn’t keep the doctors away
So the limit is 22 then.
@@RezaQin I'll sacrifice a thousand mortals to find out the limit of banana
freelee 🤣
It's only the 23rd banana you eat that brings the doctors, so just label them every time you eat and skip the 23rd
No. But the same amount of onions will keep the dentist away.
Who has 10 lbs of bananas just sitting around at any given moment?
I mean I was gifted 2 lb yogurts. I have like 30 in my fridge. Maybe she was given them by family or bought several on a deal.
Those people in math problems
Obviously KC did.
This is what I was coming down here to ask!! Who keeps 30 bananas on hand? Even if you ate 3 a day, they'd still go bad before you could eat them all. I have so many questions. 🤔🍌
Edit to add: In response to a couple of people who replied to me... I am jealous of your apparently superior fresh bananas. 😔 If I buy a bunch of 6 bananas, by day 5 the last ones are brown af. Hence my comment.
@@lisah-p8474 although not 30, I do have a friend who has 10-15 bananas each week and eats like 2 of them every day. So it doesn't seem that impossible. Maybe her family is large and they got on an extra deal.
This is definitely an eating disorder issue and not a fasting issue. What confirmed it for me is her belief that eating before her goal day would mean everything was for nothing. If you fast for 5 days you're at such a high caloric deficit it would take several days of awful eating to undo it. Also, how did she even have the hunger to eat that many bananas? When I do a 4 or 5 day fast, I'm actually not very hungry at all. I think the last time I broke my fast I had a hard boiled egg and felt full. Our friend here has some real issues.
She has anorexia for sure.
The fact that she didn't get her period but didn't get concerned about her fasting is a good sign that this was a disorder. Fasting can be quite fine but you have some real issues when you prioritize fasting over very clear, serious signs of health concerns
definitely an ed :/
This is why I wouldn't feel comfortable fasting for more than 20 hours. I have lost probably more weight than I should doing this but I feel fine. Was 204 1 month and a half ago and am now 195. I eat one large meal a day basically.
Yes, she is described as a fitness fanatic in the beginning, but she was/is definitely disordered. Very sad. Hopefully this event was a wake-up call for her to get better.
I hope the support she got after her recovery includes psychiatric care. Her excessive fasting and also bizarre eating of 10lbs of banana obviously indicates the underlying psychiatric issue that needs to be addressed to fully get her well. Hope she's doing ok now.
Amen!
@@Christopher-qq4dl 👆🙏💀
Lol, "excessive fasting".
Agriculture was developed just 10 000 years ago, while our species, Homo Sapiens exists since ~300 000 years. So a regular, dependable supply of food was assured for around 3% of the time we exist, and for the remaining 97% all human beings without exception fasted.
Could've just been that she had to make $5 last a whole week
Yes it sounds like an eating disorder which almost always has to do w managing some kind of mental health crisis.
You can say that after fasting 7 days, she went bananas

sometimes a fear of eating develops when you’re so successful with fasting
This is a perfect example of the classic "knows just enough to be dangerous" situation. She self educated herself just enough to think she understood what she was doing, but not enough to fully keep herself safe.
Be careful biohacking yourself guys. If you don't REALLY know what you are doing you can hurt yourself in this manner. Also, just as importantly, LISTEN to your body and do not disregard what it is trying to teach you. Perhaps if she had done just a bit more research she just might have known that a cycle heavy fasting could result in more long term changes to her physiology or recovery needs.
"She couldn't tell her parents that she had eaten ten lbs of bananas, as she was writhing around on the kitchen floor in at least ten lbs worth of banana peels"
Snort! Good point, she only left them everywhere, right?

this channel taught me that googling is not exactly the same as going to med school
When re-feeding, you need to take a super light at first. Start with half a bowl of broth, move up to a small salad, then introduce some meat and veggies. Taking multivitamins is important. The longest I’ve fasted was for three days, but I don’t see the point in going further than that. I’ve read that fasting can help hormone balance and numerous other things, but going too long swings the pendulum back the other way and can be quite harmful.
That being said, there really is no substitute for a healthy, balanced diet and exercise. Don’t use fasting as your means of weight lost. It can easily slip into an eating disorder and other problems. Just take care of yourself, and as the good doctor says, “be well”.
For what reason did you fast?
Fasting is a stupid idea, unless you have to do it for a medical procedure or something.
I think people are too obsessed with fat and worried about what others think of them.
@@FlabbyTabby I have a problem with my stomach my doctor can’t seem to figure out and I fast every now and then to give it time to recover. He doesn’t know if it’s an ulcer or a hiatal hernia. I’m hoping to see a specialist soon to get to the bottom of it, but medical care in the city I’m in sucks and takes a long time. It has nothing to do with weight loss.
@@ulalaFrugilega I’ve been plagued with a stomach problem for the past year and a half and my doctor can’t figure out if it’s an ulcer or something else. Medical care in my town sucks and getting to see a specialist requires referrals and can take a long time just to get an initial appointment. Fasting, light meals, and eating plain food helps me have relief from the pain.
@@FlabbyTabby I fast for autophagy and it's helped my skin immensely. It's clear and tighter and honestly I just feel incredible when I do. Ive also noticed I dont have cravings anymore, I used to have a pretty big sweet tooth. I can't say other people's opinions matter but I myself feel amazing.
"She did lose weight, but noticed her workout were sluggish"
You don't say.
This girl obviously was anorexic, but I seriously don't understand how she didn't even have the tiniest inkling that not eating is not healthy? Like there's no way she didn't come across research that talked about the dangers of long term fasting, malnutrition, and what happens when you don't meet your daily caloric intake.
@@masonc975 Overconfidence, possible body image issues (maybe anorexia related who knows), and confirmation bias, perhaps?
Fasting is one of those "just fix it type" type of things. So once someone is hooked on it as a catch all weightloss and fitness cure, I imagine convincing them it isn't safe or appropriate for them would be hard. How many of us, when we've discovered something that seems to be working, and seems to have fixed a great problem for us, are self aware enough to (in that moment, without hindsight or a commentator priming us to realize it) notice?
Hopefully most, but these things are the diseases of the smart and confident as much the opposite. Just my thoughts
@@masonc975 i wouldn’t necessarily call it anorexia as she didn’t have a problem with eating. i would say she had orthorexia, another disorder where someone is obsessed with healthy eating, weight loss, and working out
He did
@@tayworrrrrrr no, this is very likely anorexia nervosa. For one thing, orthorexia is not a DSM-5 diagnosis and would be covered by EDNOS. Her very low body weight and amenorrhea are a very clear sign of AN. Restrictive subtype, although the 23 bananas was a binge.

@@SwizzleDrizzl "This is what happened to his bank account"
Life is a story problem.
I always wondered what happened to that kid that had 600 apples and ate 1 quarter of it in one day. But now I know, hyperappleemia 😌.
BOI 👏 KC very clearly has an eating disorder!!! Idk the difference between “fasting” and extreme calorie restriction/starvation, but if her behavior wasn’t enough, her BMI was too low. The fact that she had such a low BMI and still thought she needed to lose weight has to be a huge red flag. ED’s are often overlooked bc of our obsession with weight loss. Really disappointed that this wasn’t even mentioned in the video. Stay safe, everybody ❤ P.S. You can have a high BMI and still have an eating disorder. ED behaviors mess with your health no matter your size.
i was disappointed too that the unhealthy relationship to food/weightloss wasn't mentioned
BMI is racist and white supremacy all wrappped up into one. Just ask a zealot leftist.
Yep.. I actually ended up in an ED clinic after losing 80 kg of weight in only 2 years, I went from morbidly obese to borderline underweight (accounting for all the loose skin I definitely was underweight at that point).
I started out with cycling calorie restriction (a day of 1200, a day of 500, a day of 800), then that progressed into trying to stay under 400 calories every single day, then just fasting as long as I could (the longest was 5 days without anything).
Unfortunately I developed bulimia after that restrictive/fasting period and it became a habit for me to binge and then purge everything multiple times a day, I'd make sure I'd be the same weight by bedtime as I was when I woke up by 'flushing' (a particularly dangerous tactic that involves drinking a lot of water or other liquid and then purging, then repeating that until nothing but water comes up).
Then one day I collapsed in the grocery store because I hadn't eaten anything in days and was buying food for a binge, I got admitted to the clinic that week, turned out I was extremely low on potassium (which is very common with bulimia), had a weak and slow pulse, low blood pressure and low iron.
I was put on medication to get my potassium and iron up and I wasn't allowed to even go for walks for 3 weeks, so the first 3 weeks of being in the clinic I had to just sit around.
Essentially if I hadn't gone to the clinic I would've starved myself to death eventually or maybe just died in my sleep after purging because it would've been too difficult for my heart to take.
I was aware of it too, I had many days and nights that I thought I might die because my heart might just stop or that my stomach might tear.
It's terrifying what eating disorders can do to your body, it's been about 5 years since getting out of the clinic and recovering, the lasting effects have been loss in hair volume (I lost a LOT of hair during that time), muscle weakness, damaged teeth from stomach acid, and I have a stomach/esophagus hernia likely caused by the frequent vomiting.
Ironically I am now unable to eat large volumes at all and am maintaining weight at a very low intake (1200 a day max) despite being overweight, truth is that your body does adjust to eating low amounts of food.. I struggle to eat a full dinner, I could not for the life of me imagine eating over 20 bananas in one go.
But I understand the thought, I often bought a lot of bananas to try and compensate for my low potassium when I was bulimic, I wouldn't be surprised if this woman had something known as 'anorexia binge/purge subtype' where you essentially fast/starve but occasionally binge large amounts of food to then compensate/purge afterwards, interestingly purging can also be done by excessively working out.
I think this may have not been the first time this woman ate a large amount of food after fasting, because to get to the point where you can fast that long while still being active and then somehow consume over 20 bananas because you can't control yourself... If my eating disorder continued I could've ended up in the same situation, but as someone with a more healthy attitude towards food now I can't at all imagine fasting and then consuming a bizarre amount of food.
dont people usually think an ED refers to a over eating problem which causes VERY high BMI numbers and extreme obesity?
If your bmi is overweight then your eating disorder is called overeating

@@bransenmacdonald6880 well a lot of fitness enthusiasts are obviously obsessed with the way their body looks. Since that goes hand in hand with diet it's not so crazy sounding.

When I was younger I did bulk/cut routines in my training. When cutting I ate my last meal Friday at 7PM. Then ate one more meal at Saturday 7PM and one more meal Sunday at 7PM. I started eating Monday morning again. Other than that I cut down on my daily calorie, but supplemented with vitamin pills and Protein rich foods(but balanced with fat and carbs).
This did work, but I've since found out that a balanced diet is less of a hassle. One really great bonus is that you feel less hungry after fasting. This makes it easier to maintain during the work week. At the same time I was cycling around 60 miles per day on top of my daily training. The point is to lose the fat and make the muscles stand out.
sounds like a slow decline into an eating disorder,
and the amount of banana's that were eaten sound like a loss of control from extreme hunger and so she binged uncontrollably
idk man, i love bananas and ate 10+ once, sure they weren't 23. And i don't have an eating disorder, it's just that they taste very good.

That's not intermittent fasting at that point, that's pretty much anorexia.

Starving then feasting, SHOCK !
Right! It's NOT so much about "fasting", as the title & creator suggest. It's about long-term SYSTEMIC MALNOURISHMENT, and being completely oblivious to the condition of her body therein
its not anorexia. you have to eat then purge to have anorexia or bulimia. not every eating disorder is anorexia, in fact it is one of the more uncommon ones. she might have something else.
@@vernicyy9280, bulimia is eating & purging. Anorexia, by definition, is "trying to maintain below-normal body weight typically through starvation and/or too much exercise"....

@@brianwright9514 yup, but re-feeding syndrome is a concern among anorexia nervosa patients, it’s not a disease per se but a symptom.
I’m no clinician, but I think at the point an intelligent person reads something, thinks about it for a bit, and then does something so obviously ‘Not going to work out well’ It’s probably a good idea to check for mental health issues, quite apart from eating disorders.
I agree I do hope she at least talked with a therapist to evaluate an eating disorder diagnosis.
@@jamesgrant3343 Definitely worth checking, although she might not necessarily have a mental disorder. Unfortunately, when people get in to the weeds of internet health advice, they can earnestly believe in some conclusions that make some logical sense if you get there incrementally.
Then of course, there's the problem of malnutrition *causing* mental issues. Not that it will "give" you depression, but it does affect your ability to think clearly, and can cause hormonal/emotional symptoms.
Judging from this channel (and totally not a professional opinion!), there seem to be some people who just hit these downward spirals hard.

It's interesting that medical science is showing that fasting slows the aging process
Fasting in Ramadhan is just like normal life except you need to be cognizant of time. It's 2 meal a day, which is normal for a lot of people who skip their breakfast, eat brunch at work and then eat dinner at home. Except in Ramadhan you eat really early breakfast and skip lunch, and wait until dinner. The not drinking is the difficult part, but some people never drink water anyway.
It's not like the fast she did. You still eat food. Call it intermittent fasting, it's not fasting

I have been through unwilling starvation and I don't know how that woman ate so many bananas. Whenever I starved my stomach would shrink so much that way the most I could only eat about three teaspoons full of any kind of food. That can be frustrating. But there was no way I could have eaten a whole banana, much less more than one.
I heard old people saying, when there was a farmine, people would die because they ate too much food so fast when they were starving for a long time. Same reasons may apply to this case.

Yes, i have heard the same. It is so terrible sad.
Yupp especially with people who have very fast metabolism
American soldiers reported giving chocolate to both concentration camp survivors and German citizens, but many were so skinny they couldn't even digest that anymore and died anyway.
Yep. That's the biggest danger to people (and animals) after being starved and being underweight. Trying to put on weight too quickly will cause a heart attack and other things.

This is a very informative lesson. Thanks for sharing!
My mum has chronic problems with most of the organs in her digestive system, so we have had the scare of refeeding syndrome many times over the past year or two
Doctors argue about whether iv nutrition or just eating is better while she lays on the bed crying because she ate a mouthful of food and it hurts
Sometimes it feels like the doctors dont understand the severity of her conditions or the consequences of forcing her to eat or not eat, or making that switch too fast
Does she have Gastroparesis or Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction? Motility disorders can be terrible. If eating is so painful, they should consider a feeding tube. I had a JPeG for years. Now I don’t need it anymore. I have friends on enteral feeding. Even that has come a long way. My gut needed a long rest from eating, and tube feeds provided that, along with taking Motillium 4x day. Now they’ve come out with Mosapride, which is an even better prokinetic.

Actually the thing she read on the internet was good, as in eating meat, thus fat, rather than sugar. Then... She randomly ate 23 bananas.
@@faramund9865 , well, she sure proved the refeeding thing. But this kind of makes the point that even knowing wasn't enough when she got overzealous. Don't get overzealous.
@@NickRoman she didn't get overzealous, she starved herself. That is what happens to people who starve themselves, it is extremely easy to totally lose track of what you eat because your body is desperate for nutrients. It is also why no one should ever stop eating completely and why everyone should always take a multivitamin.
@@NickRoman After fasting, eating sugar or carbs releases huge amounts of neurotransmitters, making it literally you high while eating them. its hard to resist being on an éxtasis like state from eating sugar after a long fast. thats why you eat small nutricious non addictive things. and in increments, otherwise you go overdrive quick
Honestly, I’m kind of impressed that she had 10 pounds of bananas to eat in the first place. That’s a lot of bananas…
Yes is too much never can eaten that much
Who has so much bananas on hand like that?
That's bananas

I have done 10 days fasting twice. First time it was very good for me, the second wasn't.
I went to have a hot bath and I think that my blood pressure dropped. When I got out, I ended up to the bathroom floor for 20 min with extremely speedy heart. Lucky that I am young and have a good heart. I could not move and it was very painful. I knew that I needed to let my body short things out or I would die with heart attack.
Learned from that. It is not suitable for me 😄
My friend has done 20-30 fasts that long. I got the idea from her.
I ended my fasts very slowly with broth, smashed sweet potatoes and plain rise with butter. All good which ends well.
But 10 days fasting is nothing...let me tell you about those salt cleansing- things where you drink 3 litres of salty water to empty your intestines fully in 2 hours..... 😅🤣🤣🤣
Everything is deadly in this area if you do it wrong.
My brother and I purchased a bunch of different kinds of bananas on the road to Hana in Maui, Hawaii. They were the best bananas we ever ate (we bought $40 of bananas) and we devoured a huge amount of them on empty stomachs. Both of us were sicker than we've ever been, and I vomited bananas all night. I have not touched one since then!
“Presenting to the emergency room, unconscious” *bass drop*

That's not a very good presentation. Like, if I presented to the Board of Directors unconscious, it would be pretty bad for my whole thing.
Yeah that poor girl crossed into eating disorder territory imo. I'm glad she made a full recovery, I'm always happy when dr Bernard gets to say "a *full* recovery" at the end of a video!
Yeah it's chilling when he says "so and so made *A* recovery". Oh god.
Dude, spoilers...
@@MrTheguitaristguy When you look at the comments section of a video you should expect to see spoilers for that video. Just don't read the comments until you finish the video.
Definitely into the territory of eating disorders: eating in a way that causes you problems without being able to quit that diet is like the most basic definition that encompasses all eating disorders.
Came to post the exact same thing. Full recovery puts a smile on my face.
Having a bad day. Chubby makes it better. Unlike that Poligrip stuff yesterday!
We love you Chubbyemu 💕
This walks the fine line between trying to improve one's health and a straight up eating disorder.
Long story short: don’t starve yourself for a week and then gorge yourself on any foods. It’s like sitting in a pitch black room for a whole week and then immediately staring into the sun. Any change that sudden and dramatic can’t do you any good.
Exactly, people who were starved for months (either by choice or force) aren't allowed to eat a feast when they're done starving for that long, because they'll quite literally explode from all the sudden food intake since the body is used to perserving as much fat, sugar, etc as it can.
I read that as shitting in a pitch black room
Also, probably don't starve yourself for a week, period.
@@maivaiva1412 Fasting is really good for the body. That being said, fasting for more than 3 days is really only "necessary" for terminally ill people.
@@tannerwright5735 lmao, that works too
wow, what a head scratcher for the doctors trying to diagnose her. You think you've seen it all, then this gets wheeled in. Would make a good study topic for pre-med metabolism class.
I had a friend who had anorexia. She never was satisfied about her weight and she was taking around 15-100 calories everyday. Just to scale a normal woman should take about 1500. She went for months with this diet. Thankfully her family took the resposibility and made her convince to get the treatment.
She made a full recovery and the anorexia was gone!
"She felt her heart beating in her head." Um.... I see where the problem is.
Her heart was in the brain and the actual brain was missing 😆😆
KC had hypobrainemia. Hypo- meaning low, brain meaning brain and -emia meaning presence in blood. Low brain presence in blood.
@@johnjohnson469 i'm pretty sure you'd have much larger problems if your brain ended up in your blood

😏 🇺🇸, No body does it better
Slipping into anorexia is rough. In my younger years, I began to do the same with calorie restriction that got gradually more absurd. After a while, I was restricting my diet to 800 calories a day with plans to drop it further but had a moment of clarity where I realized how unhealthy this behaviour was.
Thank goodness you avoided that! Happy for you! I myself almost slipped into unhealthy eating patterns too when I ate 580 calories one day and then got an idea to extend it one more day, and then one more and then one more ... Good thing I was weighing myself every day and noticed I had plateaued. If I was like my friends who say "I'll look at the scales in 2 months to see progress", I dunno what would have happened... Best part? As soon as I started eating more, I started losing again very rapidly. I added 100 calories every week and was still losing when I hit 2000/day! Our bodies are more nuanced than we think! Crazy, right?
@@shemica16 yup, the more you eat, the stronger your metabolism gets.
Most people eat less and workout less but Instead of that, we should eat enough and workout enough.
Actually obesity is wayyy toncommon in america....more ppl overeat then undereat
Isn't it amazing how delusional people can be when they have an eating disorder. I'm glad for your "moment of clarity"
Wow I do 2000 calories a day but I am eat only lunch (if I didn't eat 2000 calories I eat dinner ) BTW I am an bodybuilder
In December 2011 I prepared myself for first bodybuilding competition. I started cutting process just 3 weeks prior so I used to take tons of coffee and greentea without sugar. Hours of cardio and hours of gym and eating only boiled chicken and few eggs and not eating anything else. For the last 3, days I hardly drank one glass of water. On the day of competition I ate so much immediately that included tons of bakery items and much more. But suddenly in the afternoon I fell almost unconscious and I couldn't even walk. I almost spent an entire week on the bed as I could barely walk. The same thing happened with me but she had taken it to more extreme level.
This is the ONLY video where I've heard you say "... made a FULL recovery..." Your videos are like scary movies or carnival rides: it's easy to get addicted to them.
A man binged watched these videos. This is what happened to his intelligence...

i can always count on this channel to prevent me from doing stupid shit I would never do
*I started intermittent fasting at the beginning of pandemic, I fast a minimum of 16 hours a day, usually 16 to 18 hours. I eat my regular diets even junk food although I am starting to cut it off as much as possible. The results have bee very good for me even brought down my cholesterol levels. I also started doing push ups and squats and walk about two hours a day. I have never felt better in my life.*
ya i did it last year too, after i gained too much weight. started gradually fasting 12h, then increasing 1h every few days-1 week, until i can fast for 18h. i also tried 1 meal a day once a month. it was good. but i wouldn't do extreme fasting of more than 3 days, because i didn't yet understand my body, and i had no clue how to refeed myself after prolonged fasting. From the research i did online, i knew that it was dangerous, if done wrongly.
Smart. I am in the midst of 20/4 intermittent fasting heading towards one meal a day. I noticed the quantity of food I can stomach had reduced significantly and whenever I ate more than beyond what my body needs, it causes extreme discomfort almost immediately. This is the only diet I managed to stay on for more than three months.
She presented to the emergency room, where they did numerous blood test to confirm the diagnosis of Hyperbananaemia or high presence of banana in the blood.
Thats pretty funny :D

I once decided to fast for 3 days for spiritual reasons. I ended my fast with a mere bowl of soup. I thought about gorging but thankfully I didn’t. This was before I knew what refeeder syndrome was so maybe i just intuitively knew it was a bad idea.
Can any of this be attributed to self control? Sounds somewhat similar to the woman who ate like 50 cookies n got hospitalized.
The relief we all feel when we hear Chubbyemu say, "...FULL recovery."
I agree
Honestly I'm more interested in the process rather than result
@@azanuan9185 I think we all are but being interest in the result and feeling relief at the end are two separate things. Both can exist simultaneously.
It's not her fault. She had to complete the bananas before they went black. Every minute counts.
cursed
Looks theres a gun. Use it before the bullets run out.
I guess she hadn't heard about banana bread.
my bananas last .01 seconds from the moment they step into my home. 😕
@@Josh-S that's because of me
Main thing to take out from this is, when you’re fasting you’re more sensitive to insulin stimulation, cells would become more sensitive to insulin or more sensitive to these “signals”, because they are deprived of nutrients during fasting, so if you suddenly go from OMAD fasting to eating a big MEAL after fasting for many days then your insulin stimulation will spike more sensitively and your cells will be more sensitive and absorb nutrients much better, and this is why when she ate a bunch of bananas her cells absorbed all the sugar (carbs).
I've never been very concerned about my weight, but I used to fast for religious reasons, and the first time I fasted for 2 1/2 days, I overate afterwards. The terrible stomach pain taught me not to do that again. I had no idea this kind of thing was possible though. I've never fasted completely for more than 3 days. This is an important video so we know that no matter how hungry we might feel after fasting we have to begin refeeding gradually. I used to be Orthodox. A lot of Orthodox Christians fast partially during Lent and then completely on Good Friday and Holy Saturday. Then they feast the next day, on Pascha with meat, cheese, wine, and other foods they haven't eaten for almost 2 months. Doesn't seem like a very safe tradition.
If those doctors didn't walk and talk in slow-motion they could've saved more lives 🙄

Seems to be anorexia
@@Kitty-mb4hy you cant diagnose people who aren't your patients 😓😓
i did that too. with extremely good results. i was smart about it and in control which separates it from a disorder
@@ukkomies100 but you ate what.. once a day? You didn’t start with three days of not eating at all at 70% of your ideal body weight still thinking you need to lose weight, bearing the pain of refeeding after every time you fasted for multiple days; Then subsequently growing that to seven days.
I don’t think she had any control of it from the beginning.
I appreciate these videos especially the ones on refeeding syndrome. Kind of a smack in the face for me, i stress fast a lot, this is a PSA for me in a way. Thanks for the reminder lol
I couldn't eat for two weeks because after a tonsilectomy, GERD burned the lining of my throat so badly that I couldn't swallow. It was a horrible experience. I was able to eat soup so I'd eat soup everyday to at least get something into my body. When I started being able to swallow small amounts again, I would cut it up super tiny and swallow it with water. I kept getting full on water when eating so the increase in food I could eat came gradually with the healing of my throat. Everyday I could eat a little bit more with a little bit less water. It took about a month for me to be able to eat completely normally. Even now though I don't get hungry and I get full with less food. I think the slow gradual healing process kept me from developing re-feeding syndrome.
I watched this out of curiosity because at my anorexia’s worst, I water fasted for 3 weeks. I suppose I’m lucky to be alive. I’d have a panic attack trying to eat a strawberry. I’d log a cigarette into my fitness pal as a meal. It’s strange now to think of how lost I became. Grateful to not be sick anymore.
congratulations on your recovery. glad you’re okay friend 🤍
Well done! I'm proud of you for not only recovering, but also being able to look back and identify your thought patterns. That shows real growth! I hope you live your best, happy and healthy life! 👏❤🤗
No way you went 3 weeks with no water. I'm sorry but you're either lying, dead, or a Wither Skeleton.

@@summershorizon6789 If you are exercising a lot, fasting for several days, is the last thing you want to do.
Thank you 💯. This is not healthy mentally emotionally spiritually and definitely not physically.
@@summershorizon6789 fasting isn't good for workout performance or maintaining muscle, that's a bad idea
00:03 🍌 A woman named KC fasted for days at a time, relying on intermittent fasting and prolonged fasts to lose weight.
01:24 🤔 KC developed refeeding syndrome after a prolonged fast, causing complications like hypoglycemia and hypokalemia.
04:15 💉 The hospital staff administered vitamins to KC for her deficiencies, but she reacted poorly to glucose IV, causing further issues.
08:13 🥦 Fasting can make the body sensitive to insulin, leading to the rapid movement of nutrients into cells, resulting in electrolyte imbalances.
11:27 ⚠ Refeeding after fasting should be done slowly to avoid refeeding syndrome, and extreme fasting should be approached with caution.
It’s common knowledge to know banana is rich in potassium. To which is bad for kidneys. It’s advisory to only eat 1 to 2 bananas per week. Eating so many at once, it doesn’t matter about fasting or not. No normal person can eat this much banana without need to go to emergency room.
A massive headache after eating is your body trying to tell you something.
@@Dark_AbsoI I agree. I have CRPS. My body is a sadistic psycho.
@@Dark_AbsoI or you are an ass to your body lol
@Generic American Can relate. Except I have fibromyalgia.
How come she would get a headache after eating even if it was 1 or 2 days of fasting?
@@katgood5459 As her blood work showed, she was starving her body over time of all kinds of nutrients that are needed for processing food. I can't explain specifically the headache, but it's a sign that something is very wrong. It's wise to use at least a dietician or a doctor when planning a diet like this.
I’m always relieved at the end when he says they made a *full* recovery, instead of just *a* recovery

Sounds like Chubby is an SCP, where upon sight of him you are made to be very ill and teleported into an ambulance and taken to the hospital, with no paramedics thinking anything’s off about your sudden appearance and treat you as if you’re a normal patient.
