MY RECENT 5 DAY FAST, taking the lessons from this one. WATCH IT HERE: ua-cam.com/video/Cx16LaxqoO0/v-deo.html
Notes about this video:
1a. I often get asked why I didn't take supplements, electrolytes, or minerals during this fast.
I followed the advice from the book I refer to in this video which said 7 days was ok with no electrolytes (page 49).
1b. I do my challenges (and fasts) to build resilience. I take part in endurance sports and I want to know my body can cope and adapt to challenging situations. Sometimes that means not having food for extended periods of time, including supplements.
1c. I also wanted to replicate a complete fast of nothing but water, to really strip back - it's a kind of spiritual, primitive reason. For me at this time, this method suited my needs, however, others may benefit from supplementing during fast.
2. My re-feed consisted of half a bowl of homemade squash soup and some fruit.
The food over the next few days could have been better for sure. We do not usually buy so much processed food (there was way more fruit and veg than I showed in this video) but I'll admit it was hard not to want to celebrate. Most of it sat in the fridge and freezer for weeks as I didn't want to it eat it 😆
3. I took plenty of rest during this fast, despite me not showing it. Filming me laying and sitting around for 7 days wouldn't have made a very interesting video.
(ref. page 233 of the book stating usual activities including an exercise program helps maintain muscle and bones)
4. I take back my comment about fasting not being good primarily for weight loss - there some inspirational stories here in the comments. I suppose my main message was to do it for the right reason and with care x
I really appreciate all the supportive comments here 🙏🏼
I do try to read them all, but forgive me if I do not reply as there are many.
If you do a 7 day fast, I really recommend the book 'The Complete Guide to Fasting' by Jason Fung MD.
It gives all advice and knowledge to support you during your fast.
I am not a professional, just someone trying my best - sharing my journey and experience.
Comment on point 1c:
What kind of water were you drinking? Natural, clean water already contains minerals, most of what we drink does not, and therefore further depletes us (through osmosis in the intestines). So adding minerals might actually be a more natural thing. Drinking up to four liters of "demineralized" water will drain your mineral supplies and could cause more discomfort, and harm, than needed.
U will free form cancer forever 😉

Laura - Thanks for the motivation. I think for you, maybe 3 day fast is sufficient. You already have a nice figure to begin with. I know you're doing it for other reasons. I'm just saying...
I've just watched the whole video without eating anything & I'm so proud of myself
AHAHAHAHA, this did make me chuckle 🤣
@@gurdeepchumber2764 🤣
🤣🤣
😂
Best comment. LOL
Once you remove food, you notice a lot of us don't have much going on.
This is the most depressing thing I have heard till now
you find only real inner peace by jesus christ.
With a family a lot of time is spent shopping, prepping, cooking, and cleaning up after 3 meals a day, plus snacks when you have little ones. I'm just thankful I don't have to gather our food in a basket or hunt it down!
@@marlelarmarlelar9547 I have a different perspective to that. But I understand you.
I noticed I had more going on. Caloric restriction made the mind sharper.
my step dad did a three week no food just water and the reason is because he had cancer but because he starved the cancer from food while being on chemo prevented spread of cancer and has no cancer
How I wish everyone with cancer can realiser that we feed cancer with food
Hey, Laura. I watched this video two years ago! I struggled to make it to 24 hours, but then I started going strong and eventually could get up to 48 hours. In September of 2021, I made it 96 hours! Last month I did to 114 hours! Today, I'm proud to tell you that I am 23 hours left of my 7 day water fast! Thank you so much your inspiration lives on!!!!!! Thank you so much! FYI I'm 30 (former athlete) and I suffer from chronic pain due to injuries, I'm fasting for my pain!
Good job !! You sound like you're so strong ! Keep going 🎉
Does the fasting help temporarily or does it really heal your injuries?
@@sarahruiz1869 I think temporary
Does it work?
Go get your self some CBD !
It definitely gets easier. I've done seven 7-day fasts and I'm currently on day 6 of my 8th fast. Now it's relatively easy. I do this annually to help ward off cancer. Keep it up! Update: Jan 2024, I just completed my eleventh 7-day fast. It gets easier and more rewarding each time.
wow, you're doing your 8th fast?! I just finished my second... different to the first time, still challenging but more manageable.
I admire your discipline for doing it each year. I believe it's a real investment in health. Do you find the same?
@@LauraTryUK Congrats on your second! Thanks and yes it's the best self-investment in health I have made. It's important we all embrace suffering from time to time in order to grow spiritually, mentally, and physiologically.
Man I did it once, 10 days ago, how long I have to wait (days) to initiate a new 7 day fasting again? (Im searching the whole web and nobody talks about this)
@@alefgeovaine If you're refeed, rehydrated, and repleted your minerals and vitamins then I don't see why you couldn't do it again (not medical advice, but you're adult enough to make your own decisions). Good luck to you.
@@alefgeovaine whenever you want and feel ready follow a healthy alternative here on UA-cam.
I did my 7 days, just drinking water. I lost 10 pounds and I got a lot closer to God too!!
🙂 Err. Do you mean on a spiritual level.....or because you almost popped your clogs ?!
Which god?
@@alterego157 the god that all of us are apart of. The conscious where we come from and that is all of reality. I fasted for 21 days and it really pulls you into a place of gratitude, a place of love that is god. What’s your perspective?

luv your name, I'm a Betta Fish Lover..hahaa..
But yeah..one step closer to God when fasting..says so in The Bible..Was wondering when someone would state the number one reason for fasting!..🙏🌈💖
We as south asian Hindus do 7 days fasting every year combined with prayers and this is mainly aimed to protect every part of your body and mind! I feel very good after doing this
Amazing!
Wow, that’s impressive.
starting this year next week 12th -18th!@@starlightbarking9495
How often do you pray each day, if you don’t mind my asking? I’ve heard Muslims will fast and pray up to five times, is it similar?
There are some guidance but no strict rules Usually people get up in the morning bathe and pray then go to the temple (if possible) and in the evening also we listen to the song and pray before bed. Keep your mind focused all day with good thoughts words and acts which is important. good thoughts. You fast for six days, depending on your health and what you can do some do complete fasting for six days some eat fruit and mild in the evening after prayers and some stick to one meal in the evening and on 7th-day people break fast and go and see the festival of god killing the demon (ego) and it is interesting to watch the metaphoric drama after killing they release a live cockerel ( it means even after you tried to kill the ego it escapes and come in a different form!)
I just did the fasting for the seven days and for the first 24 hours I did not take any water but one has to be careful water fasting. I did not feel at all difficult to follow the fasting and I had more energy and awareness and did not crave or feel hungry. @@elizabethmacpherson0989
On day 5 of my 7-day fast.❤I am here to get inspiration to go on by listening to the awesome benefits I'm getting
"Remember - it's a privilege to make that choice not to eat - some people have no choice in that situation" Laura that was beautifully said and sadly so true I want to lose weight and that sentence went straight to my heart... WELL DONE YOU MUST HAVE BEEN PROUD OF YOURSELF!!!
It's so true! beautiful said.
@@lightdelight1 You may have lost weight using that diet, but that doesn't mean that it is healthy. You don't have to do too much to lose weight, I agree, but the way I would go about it is muscle training so that you gain muscle which will increase your passive energy consumption, leading to more calories used, maintain a healthy diet in a way that you still get all nutrients that your body needs, but either eat in small portions in order to decrease the amount of calories or also try to eat some food that will make you feel full, but don't have much calories in them. Lastly, cardio. It is one of the best, and healthiest way of properly increasing your calorie consumption and losing weight. However, if your diet is poor, with these instructions you will most likely end up losing muscle mass which will hurt you even more in the long run, but please, don't go around giving these poor health advices like telling people to eat only one or two things. You may hurt someone without actually knowing about it.
@@lightdelight1 : could you eat like that your whole life ? Balanced & small amount of food is the 🔑.
@@cameliap1146 People live happily eating only fresh ripe fruit and tender greens and sprouts and a few nuts and they don't have to restrict on the amount of fruit or veggies they eat.

Can we all just take a moment to adore her mom? 💁 You two seem like you have such a special relationship 🥰
Thank you for this comment.
She is so supportive of what I do 💖
@@LauraTryUK Did your pain go away? You mentioned that you have an ulcer. Do you know what food and drink aggravates the ulcer? Do you have a List of what not to eat and drink such as alcohol, citrus, spicy and soda? Cabbage juice is rapid healing- ginger, and yogurt also help a ulcer. If you take mediation, check the side effects. If the pain comes back, a liquid diet may be helpful (greens, apple cider, banana, grapes)
yes, your mom came across as an amazing, fun & very cool mom!
@@toniladenheim8322 You can also add *kefir*. It reduces heartburn and improve you gut bacteria. Since I started drinking kefir my heartburn went away. Also I don't have any constipation.
@@toniladenheim8322 Hi Toni, the pain never returned. I also improved my diet several months after this fast to exclude processed sugar and processed foods. I never ate loads of that before, but now none at all.
Your attitude and energy is so friendly and comforting. Loved the video and so proud of what you accomplished!
A few years ago I was having severe stomach issues every time I ate. I ended up fasting for 6 days and by the end all my stomach problems were gone. It's pretty amazing.
Is it? You were starving yourself....
@@tabbymoonshine5986if it helps itwas obviously good
@@tabbymoonshine5986 and? did you not hear ? the stomach problems got reversed! that's a good deal for sure :)
Giving your stomach a break to instead focus on healing and rejuvenating. Smart move.
@@tabbymoonshine5986 you should really look into all the benefits of fasting. She is not even close to starving because what actually happens when you fast is that you start generating cells and organs and we can get rid of chronic illness and illness. Check out Andrew Huberman, I believe he goes interlink, all of the benefits of fasting
I am 73 years old and did a five day fast to see if it would help with an elimination problem I as having. The fasting did do the trick. Loved the video.
wow, this is great news that fasting helped you!
Was your problem not wanting to eat?
Yes! When I switched to low carb, my IBS-C got much better. I was doing intermittent fasting without realizing it! I had bad gas like she mentions. My digestive system does better with less food. The processed food we eat now is so hard on the digestive system! I could go up to 10 days without using the restroom. It is not normal
DR OBELA HEALING HOME ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY...
Yup I got the flu right now and so far one day of fasting has done wonders! I've also done some research too. UA-cam "fasting to cure cancer". Then go to the comment section of these videos and you'll see REAL ppls stories!!!!!!! It's incredible! Also I've found more than one story of ppl fasting before chemo radiation, and they don't experience the horrific side effects! Imagine that! I'm 34 right now and if I get the big C, I know exactly what I'm doing, Fasting!
I do intermittent fasting sometimes to appreciate how lucky we are to have food and water. It's amazing how beautiful it tastes when you finally have it🙏🏼 Gratitude
Gratitude is so incredible when found with humility. It changes your conciousness to a higher frequency 🙏🏼❤♾
Yes indeed
you should never stop drinking water, not even during a fast.
U can do it
@@13freitag13 not true some can do it. It depends on you I fast on a regular basis stretching your fasting muscles takes time and meditation 🔯🕎
You made all of us inspired to do this 7 days water challenge. Thank you.
Really enjoyed watching your journey
Congrats! You are an honest inspiration to me. I am doing a 7-day fasting starting from yesterday. I've done 24 or 36-hour fasting before.
I once tried a 3 day fast... I ended up doing 7 days, had a bowl of soup and did 7 more. I was hallucinating and talking with God. Light headed is an understatement: I was levitating. 😁
Sounds great, I always wanted to fly!
You were dying.
That sounds awesome
This sounds fun
😂😂😂
Loved how your mum helped by putting tempting food in your face what a saint.
love how u are with your mum. Mums are so precious and deserved be looked after in their old age, just like they looked after us in our young age, in life we should always give back to complete the circle. Congrats with your fast also. : )
I'm late to the party but I got super inspired by what you said at the end! I'm going to do an intentional short 3 day fast and will be donating what I would have spent on food to a charity that feeds those in need. Thank you!!
I have been fasting one day a week and I feel healthier and happier. And, it's so true. The next day, I appreciate food so much. I have so much gratitude for food. Thank you for making this video.
Muslims are required to fast Mondays and Thursdays...that fixes their lives considerably great
You eat too much then
did you release any weight?
has it affected your weight in any way
@@nscales20 Yes. It helped me to lose weight. My doctor recommended intermittent fasting along with some dietary changes and daily exercise. I feel much healthier now.
I did this and I can tell you, I felt like a million dollars after I was finished..I was 72 years old. My face looked really good with much tighter skin, much smoother, nicer skin!
How many days hun?
Thank you so much for making this video, it reaffirms all my experiences during my 7 day fast. It was my first and I learned a lot. Your video helped, especially your humor!
I’ve done fasting for a couple of decades. The first couple of days are fairly easy for me. It’s the third day that I need to get through once I’m into day, four and five I feel empowered. I’ve never gone longer than 6 almost 7 days water only. At my age 68, I’ve stopped doing longer fasts. If I’m having sinus troubles or feel myself coming down with something I go to just liquids only. I was kind of surprised to hear you had an increase in muscle mass so. I’ll have to explore that more. I have always felt that spiritual lift several days into a fast. It is critical. How do you eat? Coming out of a fast as well. Sugary foods like fruits and of course, any process is out. The experts on fasting are True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, California. It’s good to hear your feedback as someone who is physically fit and active.💪🏻
no it's -4.9kg
it is probably not a gain in muscle mass but rather that by losing fat you are more defined. But fasting will never produce a gain in muscle mass, it is impossible.
How lucky we are that we can eat and drink whenever we want
Ur lucky also, to choose not give into every wim

No "we" here.
Not exactly
This was literally one of THEE BEST 7 day water fast videos I have seen and I binged watched many. Well done
Actually this was not a good video. Look up Dr Jason Fung on the proper details.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 I really appreciate this comment.
It took a lot of discipline to do the fast, and then to make the video so this has made me feel lovely.
The only thing I would have done differently was introduce food slower on my re-feed.
@@LauraTryUK You kept mentioning how hard it was to do this diet. You did say in the past you had done intermittent fasting but had you done several one or two day fast it would have felt a lot easier for you.
For me the first day is always hardest. Dealing with hunger is no problem but I always feel very bored on the first day which has made me realize that eating is more a habit. I have done several 3 day ones but you gave me the push to do a 7 day one. Also I never knew about the strips which is a good indicator.
@@MaleAdaptor is leaving
I just completed a 7 day water fast, with lots of rest so as to put max vitality into cell repair. And it has been an amazing experience, tough with lots of detox symptoms and repair. I was exhausted daily but I could have continued beyond the 7 days… but decided to stop to not overdo it. This has been also an amazing spiritual experience. Net , I confirm the pains in the first 3 days, but even after… and now a week after, I feel so good and such brain clarity, I love it
I love this you’re so inspiring
All the Lauras of the world are amazing 🙌🏽❤️
My Mom is in that number
I am 53 hours in and feel horrible,thank you so much for sharing your experience.
I didn't have food, (just water) for 21 days. It was hard, especially while I was still cooking for my family, but I did it.
What benefits did you notice from your 21 day fast?
Wow how did u not just start eat respect i ever only manage 1 Week
That’s incredible! Did you document it on video?
I started out with the intentions of doing 3-4 days. I wanted to go easy on myself. I read that the body begins to detox after 3 days and that I may experience some flu like symptoms. I wasn't working at the time so I figured now is as good enough time as any. I did feel sick on the 4th day. I had a headache, I felt lethargic and a little nauseous. At this point as far a feeling hungry, my first and 3 day were my worst. By the 4th day, I didn't have an appetite. I really felt bad.
By the 5th day I was perking up and hunger disappeared. I had energy, my skin was starting to get a little glow.
The rest of my journey was more of the same. Some days I was encouraged by the weight I was losing, the energy I had and finally no more brain fog. Other days I would tell myself, tomorrow is my last day but the next day I'd push it another day.
This was hard because I threw 3 dinner parties for my husband and kids who were all born in July.
I lost a total of 22 lbs, though I have gained some back, it didn't come back fast.
I gradually starting sipping broth to cabbage soup. Things that I didn't think were sweet before the fast was like syrup after the fast. I couldn't tolerate sweets for a very long time.
I had high blood pressure, borderline diabetes, high cholesterol before the fast all of which corrected itself.
No videos were recorded but I am thinking about doing it again. I'll consider that.
@@gail4222 That's amazing and really takes strength and determination 💪. Nice job.
What helped me was to keep my mind off food, I plan physical activities duing the fast. Day 1, I washed every wall in my home especially the kitchen and bathroom. Day 2, I washed my cars and my neighbor's cars. Day 3, Went for a 4 hour hike in the woods. Day 4, Washed all the window at home. I have a big and persistent appetite, thus distration is my strategy. I did it to address my constant tiredness, craving for sugar and brain fogginess and starve out any cancer cells lurking. It worked a year ago and I'm due to do it agin soon.
I love this! I bet your house (and neighbours car) looks great! 😆
Awesome work on the fast too! 👊🏼
Yep, stay busy. clear out the fridge & cupboards so you have to make an effort to get food. I do keep a small container of miso (for evening to balance minerals loss) & drink lemon water during fasting. Not sure I'd ever do just water.
Pleeeease can I wash your car??? I’m hungry! ☺️
@@frenchfries2378 You can wash mine ! There are two of them )))
how did u go on a 4hr hike and not get hungry/tired.. i thought u need to limit activity to minimum during fasting
Your skin totally changed over the week! Talk about clear and glowing skin!! :) I loved it!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Currently doing my 2nd 7 day fast of 2023. You have a great way of showing non-fasters and those that haven't fasted this long what it's like. Love watching your videos. :-)
She’s great. Im a faster but I’ve never done seven days. Today I’m starting a seven day and this was an awesome watch.
Good luck on your fast!!
im starting my 7 days in the morning! we can do this
Non fasters lol

Me: Got hungry in 3 hours
Me: Got hungry watching this video
Me in 30 min and I'm already hungry lol
Hahaha
You get hungry when you eat actually. If you don't eat for a long period of time then it's harder to get hungry. Also carbs make you hungrier than other food.
Yes😩
The longest fast I've done was 162 hours. I'm currently trying to do 216 hours. I'm 44 hrs into my fast!
Are you ok
Dude, just use days
@@joseph1845 how many days is 162 hours? I can’t count man 😂
7-9 days basically...
that's really cool. im not brave enough to try fasting for 7 days :/ im now currently in my 27h of fasting
Hi Laura. Many thanks for the amazing video. I've learnt that regular exercise is crucial for being healthy even when fasting. I adore your will power. Well done!
Amazing video, I'm on my fifth day, that was a set plan but last night decided to extend that to a 7 day one, and your video enforced that decision. Thanks for the great encouraging genuine video!
I think it's important to keep your mineral levels normalized. If all you do during a fast is drink lots of water, those minerals get flushed out of your system. In my experience this can intensify brain fog, headaches and that feeling of low energy. At the very least, drink mineral water. Ideally purchase mineral supplement packets made for fasting and mix them in with your water or black coffee. I hope this helps for others!
I keep wondering about this, as well as electrolytes. So many people fasting without anything at all, I find it worrying.
This is a really good tip!
@@waffle_chair9269thats the point of fasting tho. You should have enough electrolytes to handle a few days of fasting ... if youre already deficient in those however a fast might be a lot harder. Bit realsitically alll animals have to ahhndle some amount of sateving from time to time. But of course you will feel a bit shit if you have no food and youre not used to going without food.
@@waffle_chair9269There seems to be some confusion that needs clearing up. Don’t worry - This isn’t just me being a condescending smug online guru wan*er. People NEED to know this stuff before attempting any kind of fasting.
Electrolytes are just minerals in your blood [and other bodily fluids] that carry an electric charge.
They basically help transmit electricity ⚡️ throughout your brain and body. Simple, right?
That’s why they’re important. You need electrolytes like your iPhone needs charge.
The most important ones in terms of fasting, in order of importance are:
1. Sodium
2. Potassium
These two minerals (electrolytes) act in opposition. Think of them like the positive and negative terminals of a battery. Anyway….
Sodium you can get easily from salt, but the brand “Lo-salt” has a good amount of potassium in there.
Otherwise just buy electrolyte powder (don’t get ones with a bunch of crap added because that’ll just trigger a ghrelin spike (the hunger hormone) undoing your progress.
I’ve fasted with and without topping up me electrolytes and it made a huge difference almost instantly. I could go to the gym and lift a decent amount of weight, maybe with a slight loss in strength but nothing like what you might think.
Our bodies are way more resilient than we’ve been led to believe. We’re not living meal to meal. The body is way WAY more clever than that
@@Padraigp Aye it can be difficult. I’ve only done a 72hr fast. Felt fine throughout all of it. In fact, I felt pretty damn good. Breaking the fast was the tricky part cos I sh@t like a rescue centre greyhound after eating some rather irresponsible things😂
Anyway, my point was that adversity or inconvenience is all the justification some people need to avoid doing it altogether.
However, that’s never enough. When they see people successfully fasting and getting results they have an insecure moment, react emotionally and decide they wanna invent unseen and imagined catastrophes that might happen. Words like “disorder” and “obsessive” shoot from the hip.
Prolonged fasting is like a factory reset.
I used to be the dumbass wannabe bodybuilder eating 6 times per day, anxious about missing a meal because it might sabotage my neurotic quest to build an impractically large and detailed physique.
I discovered that we’re powered by a lot more than just the last thing we ate. We’re not as mechanical as all that.
I’m still a dumbass though, but a lot leaner, more energetic and managed to retain a lot of muscle. Way more than I have in the past from typical dieting
I lasted 6 days and at the last day I didn’t felt like eating. Food smelled like nothing to me. I thought I was never going to get hungry again. When I finally ate, I got full with a small portion. In 6 months I lost 70 pounds with Intermittent Fasting and Carnivore diet.
I still got 100 pounds more to go, just living one day at the time. Completing my daily goals, Trying to stay disciplined and committed. Staying Motivated is definitely difficult, more if you have bad habits, but completing daily goals like “ how much I allow my self to watch tv or go with friends before I do my goal. In short words “ if I want to watch tv, relax, just fun time. First complete my goal (gym) then reward myself after my daily goal is complete. That’s how you stay motivated,
DONT PAMPER YOURSELF!
Note: I did it because I was to fat, to heavy, to unhappy and miserable. But there is a point you might feel like cheating with a nice meal, and you know it might get you out of ketosis but, it’s okay! Do it but always bring your self back because doesn’t matter if you gain weight is about how healthy you are. Intermittent Fasting is not to lose weight!
Thank you for this video. I’ll probably fast for 10 days! Wish me luck 🍀
Keep up the good work.it will be nice to document your progress 🙂
Good luck! You`ll do that!
Sixth day is at the point your body goes into protein conservation, it is why your not hungry at that point. If you go 6 days add two more it will be worth it.
Congrats on your weight loss and for the discipline it takes. I need to lose about 75 pounds, but I have no self discipline. I hope you continue on your journey and it remains successful.
I have 50 lbs to lose so difficult but it will be worth it
This is my first day and I hope I can do this because while watching your video, I feel like not doing it but the results are fascinating so I will! Thank youuu for inspiring me!
Absolutely fantastic video. Thanks for all the honesty in your film. Showing the reality and not being a vanity video. At the start you mentioned your symptoms. I am 42 years old and have experienced all of these for awhile now. I intermittent fast now and again, the usual 16/8 hrs. When I fast i do feel better. I am considering this 7 day fast, but I really think I'll struggle, however...this video has been incredibly inspiring.
I'm in OMAD fasting (one meal a day) and there are two odd moments I experience every day, the one just before ending the 23 hours fast, bacause I'm so hungry I would eat a bear and the moment just after eating, when I realize that I feel much better during the 23 fasting hours than during the actual hour I allow myself eating. This experience gave me prospective about how overrated food is in opur culture, and the confidence that I can live better and longer eating a third of what I was use to eat.
I respect your for OMAD Alberto. I am back to 16:8 fasting now but think I would find OMAD quite hard.
That for sure. Food is overrated. As you said , we can live with 1/3 of the "usual" food. I saw " La thérapie par l'eau"( in french) by Arte. Very well explained.
You really gonna say you felt better when you were hungry as shit than when after you ate
People have parasites, and that can also make you feel ravenous.
@@BaCOnIs1IFE That was hilarious 😀
I've fasted 10 days for the first time back in 1975 (lost 10 kg); then I fasted several times, from 7 to 15 days. I solved quite a few health problems.
that's really cool
@@nabila4395 Thank you!
I used to have bloating and GERD ten years ago and I read from Ayuraveda medicine to fast. I did. The results were amazing since the bloating went away and my stomach has worked well since then. Until now I keep my stomach empty until when I'm really hungry.
How many kg s did you gained back?
@@marish... I've been gaining back my initial weight pretty slowly, during one year. The last time I lost 15 kg in two weeks, gained back 4 kg in 6 months, and keep it this way for 1.5 years.
Smiling so much when I saw you eat at 7 days and so happy for you !
You have inspired this 54 year old to do this challenge, starting at midnight on Sunday! Your comments about some people around the world having no choice with regard to being hungry, really hit home! I also want to reset my sugar-filled eating binges!! Wish me luck!!!!!
I'm 51 and 4 days in - you can do it, too!!! My max is 5.5 days, but this time is so much easier. Hunger is usually triggered by the time on the clock that you usually eat, but it passes if you distract yourself during that time especially. BEST WISHES!!!!
I am eight days In on my fast. If you include salts and electrolytes in your water such as magnesium, potassium. You will be just fine. If you don’t just water it will be extremely difficult. Losing up to a pound a day and I have tremendous amount of energy. I work out daily and walk a lot. I’m not killing my self physically and feel fine.
Yes. It is a MUST
How do you make sure to get the electrolytes? What do you use?
How about your weight?
@@elizabethteneyck4955 add sodium, potassium and magnesium to water.
I've been fasting for years and can highly recommend for all the reasons stated here and more. Autophagy is real and growing in popularity. One caveat, i would not go into 7 day fast from the go. Try daily intermittent, grow that to a day or two and then extend it. For me, after 48hrs i can tell the difference in mood and all sorts of other things. Don't cheat with "things" you've been told won't break your fast. Water only. Tough at first but worth it. Once you go through a few cycles, you don't even think about the lack of food, you will start to crave how good how you felt and will react to repeat it. Good luck to you if you're trying or thinking of it.
Also, try the first daily intermittents up to 24h when eating a big dinner meal of protein/ fats from natural sources, minimal carbs at around 5-6 PM. Natural satiety will then help you to get your first experience 'easier' up to 24 hrs. You sleep during your normal apetite window and then wake up with 1L of water, do some activities (away from food!) then eat breakfast later and later. 6PM to noon is already 18hrs!
I'm surprised she didn't give that warning.
Is water with electrolytes alright to drink? Or just water?
Salt and electrolytes ok?
I agree with intermittent fasting as a prelude to a 7 day fast.
This is the best yt channel I've discovered this year. Keep going. Your content is very interesting
that very first bite! I can feel it! just like a new born baby! that JOY!!! love you!!! you ARE AMAZING!!!
nothing opens your eyes to how much food dominates our lives (culture, social, etc) like doing a week long+ fast.
this is actually one of the best videos on a semi long water fast I've seen, real data and relatively concise. should have more views imo.
Hey KC, this is such a nice comment, thank you so much!
It took a long time to make and research so this is so lovely to read 💖
Completely agree with you, it was informative, concise and made me laugh in parts. Thank Laura for a great video. 👍2
Yes great video so full of info i enjoyed watching to the end
It took her longer to get to ketosis & she had a lot more problems, feeling bad for a long time. I've done 10 day & shorter and reach fat burning & detox by day 3, but I'm vegetarian. Detox releases a lot of bad things stored in fat so her experience tells me she had a lot of chemicals, hormones, medications, etc. Too bad she was so eager to load up grocery cart and go back again.
one of the most thorough videos i've ever watched. Brilliant. Thank you!
Im currently on day seven. Im also doing 30 minutes of sauna daily. I have noticed that my skin started feeling really stretched back, like if it was shrinking. Also most of my stretchmarks have faded. Im doing it because I have had pain in one of my lymph nodes for twn months. The pain got so bad, that not even painkillers worked anymore. I dont go to the doctor, so i felt that fasting would help. By day 3, the pain was down to almost 5 percent. Also, ive had a nonstop eye twitching since last year, and it completely went away. I have found that when i start feeling really drained, i sit out in the sunshine barefoot with my feet on the ground. I plan on continuing until day 21. Oh and loosing 10 lbs on the scale so far has been a Perk. Thank you for posting this video, it is very motivating.😊
Her skin looks fabulous since the fasting...and not saying it ever looked bad to begin with. Pretty awesome.
Well according to her stop eating and you will live for ever.
At the final weigh in I paused the video and took your picture and blew it up! Your skin is incredible!
I agreed she looked younger
@@djmazz1100 ahahahaha, I''m not sure why but this comment really made me laugh!!! I feel terrified of a massive LT face 😆
I went 11 days once because of a blockage . The joy on your face reminded me of the first cup of chicken broth, I thought it was the best thing I’d ever tasted.
wow - 11 days! Respect 🙌🏼 I hope it helped!
That moment! I am going to do it all again just for the moment - pure ecsatsy 💫
I was hospitalized a couple years ago for an intestinal blockage. So, I certainly relate to your comment. However, it was only 7 days for me. Yes, that first sip of broth was, indeed, heavenly.
@@rouxchat6033 did fasting 7 days help the blockage?
@@brightwithspirit Fortunately, yes. If not I would have had to undergo surgery. The blockage was scar tissue from a previous surgery. Not sure why fasting alleviated the problem but so happy it did. They ran a tube through one of my nostrils, down my throat and into my stomach to drain it of fluids and acid. IV fluids supported me for the 7 days as drinking and eating was not possible. It was overall pretty disgusting and uncomfortable but worth it to avoid another surgery.
@@rouxchat6033 that is really interesting. I had an adhesion on the bowel from old scar tissue. They did keyhole surgery and found it before it did permanent damage. Fasting would not have worked in this instance. The doctor said another 6 hours without surgery and I would have lost a large part of the bowel. Glad you are now doing well. 😊🇦🇺
This was a very informative video. Thank you for the disclaimers but also for the transparency. I love to challenge my body and I will be subscribing.
Great job! I did from 1-3 day fasts throughout last year. I am still fasting but less frequently, however I’m controlling my insulin by eating in this order: vegetables first, then protein and fats and carbs and sugars last.
I fully intended to skip through this to the results but you kept me hanging on to every word. Great content!
Thanks for sticking with the video Kay, I am pleased you enjoyed it 🙌🏼
Same haaaa

Same here.

I do OMAD Monday through Thursday & eat Keto on weekends. Lost 100 lbs so far, with about 12 more to go, & I feel great.
WOW! that is awesome work right there! Whoo hoo 🙌
how long did this take?
@@mariejane1567 I was 276 lbs. in July of 2020 & suddenly dropped 20 lbs without trying. As a nurse I knew that was a bad sign, so I discovered I had become type 2 diabetic. August 28th, 2020, I went hardcore keto, less than 20 g Carbs per day & by December 1st, I was 200 lbs. but reached a plateau. January 1st of 2020, I did a whole month of Carnivore & got down to 188 lbs. Then I had to stop taking my blood pressure and diabetic meds because I didn’t need them anymore and fainted twice from low blood sugar that dropped my blood pressure. I still have a dent in my forehead where I face planted on the back of my dining room chair.
By January of 2021, I had fallen off the wagon and got back up to 197, but by early February I got back down to 178 lbs. I have fluctuated between 178 & 191 by doing OMAD Monday through Thursday and then I would gain between 7 to 10 lbs over the weekend, if I didn’t stick to Keto.
Anyway, I have experimented off & on with Keto intermittent fasting and OMAD but fell off the wagon again over the holidays.
I was eating like a maniac for a few weeks, and got back up to 197 lbs. last Thursday. That’s when I started back on OMAD but I haven’t really been doing keto, just eating whatever I want for one hour a day. Last night I was back down to 188 lbs. So I am on the right track and feeling great. I should add, I have also been putting 1 Tbsp of MCT Oil in my bullet proof coffee that I only drink during my one hour eating window, which is also when I take my vitamins. That may be why I am feeling clear headed and alert.
This way I am not Yo-Yoing anymore and hopefully just stay at a steady pace until I reach my ideal weight and hopefully maintain it. Or at least fluctuate between 150 & 160 instead of 180 to 190 ish.
I don’t feel too deprived when I’m seeing results. It’s so easy it’s almost like magic. 😎
If I can do it, anyone can, really. Good luck! 🍀👍🏻
@@jeannievail thanks for sharing your experience.
Any gallstones?
I've done a six-day water fast (a few months ago), and this video has given me the courage to go for seven. Thanks for documenting all this.
4 days water fast, done several times. 72 days juicing 5 years ago.
Felt amazing too 😍 just need to get back at it, thanks for inspiring ☺️
I'm 51 now too 😍 I'll try a water fast for 7 days now, thank you 😍
I just did a 48 hour fast, and I feel INCREDIBLE. Thanks for sharing this.
wow i'm impressed : ) I don't tend to feel incredible until the 4th day : )
For longer term benefits: Watch Dr. Sten Ekberg if you want to stay in ketosis after your fast ... main feedback -- when you do eat again, don't have anything with processed sugar such as bread and don't eat as much. Also, during the fast, drink mineral water to not flush out all your minerals such as essential salt and potassium. Keyboard Warrior out.
Surely no electrolytes is a mistake.
You don't get it . She's doing real world results if she was in the woods and surviving. Let's see you do and not just all talk
@@rickcamp7807 I have done it following Dr Sten Ekberg's advice, along with (CareSens Dual) glucose and ketone self blood tests as those strips are not precise -- she just followed some kids on UA-cam. Water from the woods contains most necessary minerals; not the water she drank. Just because I voiced my opinion to try help doesn't mean you should assume a lack of understanding. You should research what I said before saying "you don't get it".
You're absolutely right. The risk of water intoxication in fasting us much higher, and low calcium/potassium causes horrible symptoms like facial numbness, tongue numbness/metallic taste, tetany, heart problems and heart attack
@@lukefox836 - Dr Sten Ekberg is the best.
Loved watching your journey. Way to go making it through!🎉
I am 84 hours into my fast and really enjoyed your testimonial. Thank you !!!
I ended up fasting 202 hours and I am just not the same since... I eat twice less and am full of energy!
I stumble on this video while contemplating fasting. I had no idea you’d rowed across the Atlantic! I was gobsmacked. Watching all those furniture construction projects you were able to complete while fasting was amazing! I’m inspired. I’m 69 years old and beginning to experience health challenges. This is my proactive way of dealing with aging. Thanks for the inspiration.
I'm 64. The best fasting I've found is quite easy. I needed to drop twenty pounds a few years ago. I started simply not eating after four oclock(PM). Ate whatever I wanted, but heavier early. Then i dropped back to not after 3, then eventually not after two. And just take a walk at nite, maybe a little sip of apple vinegar once inna while. Maybe once a week i would have a four or five oclock dinner with the family.That's it.Lost 25 lbs. Stayed down around two hundred lbs. for a couple years. (I'm over 6'2) Covid hit, and in the 1 1/2 yrs put it all back on, but I'm not worried, cuz i know how to do it again. And its easier than rowing across a dam ocean, that's fer sure. Think about it. If you stop at 2 and don't eat again til 8am,that's an 18 hr. fast. Don't eat til ten its 20 hrs. And you do NOT wake up hungry. Its easy.
What an inspiration you are. I have watched hundreds of fit and wellness videos on youtube and this honestly moved me in ways I had not felt before. This is exactly what ive been looking for.
Excellent videos Laura, very inspirational! I’m on my second day of fasting! Keep up the good work 🙏
Brilliant! Really enjoyable watch. I've just started a 7 day fast...lets go!
The fact that you were so productive during this fasting is so impressive, I would just lay down and nap. But, super nice video, really inspiering! I really want to try this!!
Cant, insomnia is very bad when fasting, at least for me
DR OBELA HEALING HOME ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY .
7 days water fasting is an awesome challenge. I water fasted in Hawaii (March 2019) at a retreat for 16 days (monitored). Most people aren't able to last 1 day. 7 days makes you a Champion. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself.
they can't last one day because the first 2-3 days are the hardest. After that, everything is really easy.
What's the name of the retreat? Sounds interesting.
WOOOW! Firstly 16 days! Secondly, Hawaii!!!!! 😍
Thank you for your comment.
Now I want to go to Hawaii and fast for 16 days 😂 (although that might be too long for me)

Rip buddy 🍃
Also remember during a fasting for that long your head hurts so bad because your body is going through sugar withdrawals. Some say 80% of your body’s energy is spent doing digestion alone. Once you fast for a while, it gives the body a chance to catch up on whatever it needs to without having to worry about digestion.
everyone has a different 'NEAT' non exercise activity thermogenisis. 80 percent is too high. Thats your base calories to maintain body function. Starving will just increase the hormone ghrelin which makes you need to eat more than you really need on a starve or 'fast' The brain suffers the most. Digestion is the first to stop, and then the bloating and tummy pain... ohhh
I’m not sure if it’s 80% but it’s high up there. This is why a lot of people end up “emotional eating”. Notice when you are sad, the thought of eating doesn’t cross your mind. Or if you eating and get sad, your appetite is gone? That’s because the body can’t process food and still have the energy to be sad. Or experience every emotion. So people literally “eat their feelings” because the body can’t do both at the same time.
I love how your pfp literally looks like my dad 😂
Well, the brain uses 20% of your energy overall so I doubt 80% is used for digestion. The rest of your organs have to function. Your muscles have to function. I have seen the digestion estimate usually put in the 10 to 15% range.
How to avoid sugar withdrawals: Eat a ketogenic diet for two weeks, 2 meals a day, with no snacking between meals. Then try eating every other day on week 3 once a day - you will not experience head hurting or sugar withdrawals at this point because your brain will be receiving its energy from ketones and not glucose. On week 4, try fasting for 5-7 days. You will find it quite easy to go on with your daily life (I am not doing hard labor or heavy lifting btw) with no hunger. I am on day 10.5 fasting (water and buble only) and will be breaking the fast in two days to acclimate the digestive system for food again in time for the super bowl :)
"it's a privilege to have the choice not to eat!" "There are people in this world who do not have that choice!" Love that! ♥️
Thank you Lord for the privilege and for my taste buds! I have never done more then 3 days willing.. no food, no water.. But in 2019 I got really sick and my body would not accept food for about 25 days I could keep absolutely nothing down. I lost 30+ lbs but after some serious prayer the Lord restored my health, weight, strength it was amazing.
My mother does 7 day water fast and it's a challenge for sure but the results are Magnificent!
I'd like to try the challenge some day! ♥️ Thank you for this detailed video, super encouraging!
Thank you for recognising my words 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for making this video! I am on day 5 of a 7 day fast and it has been so uncomfortable the last 3 days that I thought of stopping. Your video has given me the reassurance to continue!
Not sure what you mean by uncomfortable...heart palpitations or massive headaches means you stop
@@janvdb9258 no, it was nausea and acidic feeling in my stomach. Next time I'll look for some way to alleviate those!
So inspiring and interesting, I learned so much from you and love that you focussed less so on the weight loss and more so on health benefits all around.
You made me laugh out loud at many points too… thank you ❤
Thank you for letting us in on your experience. I admire your staying power.
The mental clarity and calmness is the best part. Being constantly cold is the worst - do it in summer.
The coldness is your subcutaneous fat becoming visceral fat which burns off faster once you become fat adapted from a healthy keto (lowcarb) lifestyle. Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting lifestyle is life changing.
@@ShortGirl618 :(. Sounds like there’s no escaping the cold
Omg I got emotional watching the end!!!! You’re such an inspiration!
I have never done a full fast. I had challenged myself to a 5 day green juice cleanse but on the 5th day I said to myself " let's see if I can go one more day" and that turned in 30 days. Working full-time ( at work they had a free hot buffet and I was never tempted) I even went to the movies once and did not have buttered popcorn for the first time ever! , I had plenty of energy, zero cravings. My skin was clear , eyes bright,teeth whiter. I believe I had never felt better in years. I was 45 at the time. I am thinking I would like to do a fast like this one. Yes, I also understand that some people do not have the choice of food. I have asked some people in my life not to say they are starving because many people have no idea what it is to really starve. thank you sharing your fast experience with us. Take care. Oh I forgot to mention that I lost 30lbs.
Laura has such a warm and authentic personality and I really enjoyed watching this video.
Thank you for your lovely comment 🙏🏼
I am so encouraged to try this for my chronic pain issues. Thank you for being my Guinea pig! 😁👍❤️
I started doing fasts years ago because of Myasthenia Gravis. I had crippling fatigue and got too weak to walk up stairs. Arthritis in both hips and shoulders. Severe chronic pain. I began weening sugar out of my diet and eating large salad bowels of mixed greens (Terry Wahls Reverses MS With Diet), Once you cut out sugar, your tastes will adjust. Then the greens won't taste so bitter. I started doing fasts gradually by reducing my eating window gradually, a couple of hours every week. Then 24hr - 3 days (it gets really easy once your body gets used to it and isnt scared you're going to die). I was in the best shape of my life and my energy was through the roof (Better then it was when I was a teenager) I started doing small walks after dinner ( to burn up glucose and get into fasted state sooner) before long I was walking 6 miles a day and I got down to 170 lbs (I was 220) My skin and face looked 10 years younger. So many minor health problems just cleared up by themselves. I had been taking Ambien nightly just to get half decent sleep. BUt I was now sleeping 5 hours a night. I would just wake up fully alert and FULLY rested. I couldn't even keep track of everything. Even an ugly skin tag that was starting to grow near my eye I noticed had just fell off by itself. It's really astounding what your body is capable of fixing on it's own if it gets the chance to repair itself (Autophagy). Your body can not go into deep repair mode UNTIL it is in a fasted state. AND if you give it enough nutrition, (TONS of Kale salads! ) it will begin to switch off certain genes and chronic conditions will go away ( Nutrigenomics). Search YT for Dr. Rhondra Patrick and Dr. Terry Wahls (She did it).
your energy is amazing. the right reasons the right appreciation and determination it really is admiring !!! thank you for existing!!
and above all the discipline you have is really something to look up to!! as well as the responsibility you carry in your soul to get the right message over to sensitive people! you are the best . bless your heart
Inspiring video.
I'm on day 4, 91.5 hours, into my first 7 day fast.
I've done 4 3+ days before so I'm not new to longer fasts but this is a big jump (previous high was 91 hours so just crossed into new territory)
I appreciate the relatable real life perspective and observations.
I'm a science guy so listening to the videos of doctors and scientists describing the actual biochemical stuff is cool, but doesn't help me figure out how to feel when I'm cold or tired 3 days in. 😅
You are such a breath of fresh air! Watching you is so calming and refreshing. Keep up with the excellent work 👊
Thank you so much for your nice comment Thalita
Well done Laura.
I did 7 days last year and everything you said was spot on.
Its not about weight loss but all the other benefits highlighted in your video.
I just started a 5 day last night around 5 and you may have inspired me to do my first 7 day! Thanks for sharing 🎉

How did it go,I am on day 6 and so temperamental. 24 more hours to go for me.
Isn't it dangerous for your health, you know, not to drink water for so many days? have you asked a doctor about possible damages to your body?
honestly, why are you doing this to you?

This is my first time watching your videos, very amazing experience of fasting, you give me more motivation to do it ❤️keep strong mind
