Hi Dr. Ekberg,
I started fasting about a month ago and I'm gradually proceeding into longer fasts (the peaks were two 36h fasting but I'm usually staying around the 18h) so I don't yet feel the extreme need to supplement since I focus on eating healthy food during the eating window.
But I'm planning to get to my first 72h and later the 100h fast, so I wanted to ask if you were planning to open a (virtual) shop here in europe too.
Or at least if you could utilize one of those services and couriers that allow to shop and pay both import tax and potential custom duties via pc or smartphone, because having both to pay an extra while also having to go to the postal service or stay at home from work to pay the courier is really unfeasible.
And lastly, a friend of mine (who actually introduced me to intermittent fasting) is sporadically using AG1 (which I think it used to be called ''Athlethic Greens'')... Do you think it's a good supplement to take or did you make some research on it and found some potential issues with it?
In any case, thanks for the work you do. It really helped me out understanding the processes involved in the things you suggest. Which is what led me to practice it in a more informed manner and avoid confusion.
Greetings from Milan, Italy.

...what? 😅
I've lost 22 kg in 3 months thanks to this guy and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Ekberg you are a guiding light towards a healthier life and thanks to your thorough explanations in each video I can follow through without giving into my old, fattening habits. I truly adore your work and appreciate every bit of effort you put into your videos. Thank you so very much!
@worldoffoood
Everybody reacts differently to a change in eating habits. I lost 52 pounds in 6 months. 33 of those pounds were shed in the first 36 days. I didn't go keto. I cut out processed foods, sugar, and ate low carb. I didn't measure anything, and I purposely didn't exercise because this was an experiment to me. I started exercising about 6 weeks ago to start my next phase of this experiment. As another example, my wife has done the same things as I have, and she has lost zero pounds. So what has worked for me hasn't benefited her in the weight loss department. Best of luck
@@Yodudeee Yes. No sugar or carbs, fat heavy diet combined with intermittent & extended fasting. I haven’t exercised at all either.
@@dougroberts3643 I'll bet your wife was cheating and eating on the side.
@thepwnbringer
I forgot to mention that I do intermittent fasting as well. 18/6 is my window.
😮 3 months of water fast? Wow u r awesome
When I tell people at work I’m not eating lunch or anything for 3 days they look at me like I’m a total weirdo.
Edit: Wow, thanks for all the comments guys! A lot of people saying don’t tell them but that to me is kind of weird. If someone asks, I’ll tell them. I’m not ashamed but it’s definitely not the norm.
Socially your are 😂 while health wise you're a health champion 🏆 😉
you are though, socially.
You are ... not that there's anything wrong with that!
Our reptilian overlords are greatly displeased that you would dare depart from the vast herd of Amerilards being prepared for the slaughter
Besides, fasting is raysiss
I tell people I tell people I'm not eating breakfast or lunch.. M-F. I only eat 4-9pm.
Recently donated blood and the lady lectured me how I need to eat prior and I shouldn't skip meals especially before donating. As if she knows all and is a medical professional. I kept telling her I never eat, because I fast daily, but do drink water and coffee, cause I need to stay hydrated.
I am a type 1 diabetic..I do regular 8 day fasts..hydrogen water and black coffee only..i have to keep very close looks at my sugars....hypo sugars(VERY LOW) is something I need to watch out for....I use a Brown's Gas inhaling machine while doing this too..an AquaCure AC50 machine..I am going to be the 1st person in the world to CURE my type 1 Diabetes!!! watch this space, I WILL DO IT!!👌👌👌👌
There is no water without hydrogen
I love this! I am also a type 1. Do you have a channel?
Congratulations, already❤🎉
Any updates?
.. my sugars are constantly on the lower side say 4.8 to 6.4...at night before sleep I alway go to bed on about a 10 just to be safe and not die in my sleep... by morning I am usually on a 5 or 6 reading again,,,, there is something truly amazing going on here mate!!! woooohoooo@@Tee-Star
People think I’m a genius because I’m repeating everything you say to them.
They don’t know that you are the real genius.
Thank you sir for everything you say and do.
Yeah but even curiosity activates genious genes😂👌
Haha 😂 Clever!
@@craigm7750 Well, I spent my whole life researching everything, Curiosity is a weapon to ask the right questions and to understand everything in the world.
I didn't eat for seven days starting on Easter this year. I've never felt more full life than when I was completely empty of food. I worked as a waiter, cooked for my daughter, worked out every morning, day traded 5 days, snowboarded twice, took my daughter out to eat, sauna 4 times, hot tub 4 times, cold plunge 4 times and the list is longer. My sight, smell, and hearing all became much sharper. Skin was softer, eye lids raised up. And now I have a tool in my back pocket I can pull out at any time which allows me to not eat for a day and I feel no hunger. Amazing!
Question… you worked out fasted? Any issues with that?
What tool?
Wow..lucky you. I just did a 5 day water fast. Felt low energy on and off the first 3 days..then aches and pains the next two. I guess I have a lot of old injuries and stuff and that people are different. Are you already keto before you started? Did you have any illness or injury to heal before you started?
@@SuzitaoI suspect he was already doing keto...sounds like you experienced the keto flu
@@Suzitaocarefull about infor of this chanel, it may be a test
Dr. Ekberg, since August 2 of 2022, I have been watching your UA-cam videos and have closely followed your intermittent dieting guidance.
1) I've stopped eating sugar. I haven't been able to be 100% sugar free, but have consistently been very low sugar.
2) I've eliminated most processed foods out of my diet. Again, not 100%, but close.
3) I've eliminated all breakfasts from my eating routine. I eat two meals every 6 hours: lunch between 12pm and 1pm and supper between 6pm and 7pm.
4) I've done several 3-day and 2-day fasts and 1-meal days.
Since August of 2022, I have lost 23.5 kilograms (just shy of 52 lbs). At the beginning, I weighed 98.7 Kgs. Now I weigh under 75 kgs. I haven't been sick with anything except allergies since that time, and the effects of the allergies are much less. Also, my body odor is much less pungent. As a result of mouth cancer (tongue tumor) in 2020, I do not drink any alcohol, and I do not miss it! (I also don't smoke cigarettes or use other drugs.)
THANK YOU, Dr. Ekberg, for giving me a new happy and healthy way of living!
Advice to comment readers: It is important to keep exercising during weight loss. I had some back pain and stiffness as a result of losing too much weight too fast.
Fantastic results! Congratulations 👍
Fantastic, congratulations ❤❤❤
My mom is a dietician who finished her college about 30 years ago and when I told her that I am going right now through my second 5-day fast this year she told me to go for a head scan instead of trying to fix my metabolism. I started watching you, Dr. Ekberg, I think about a year ago and I started creating a great plan with reasonings. Of course I'm not hyper-strict and ascetic but through your advices and videos I created a set of rules that helped me steadily lose 15kg in last 6-7 months and I hope the fast I'm going through will help me with the plateau. Everything, connected with exercises, is helping me to get myself into a better shape before hitting my thirties. The great guidance, physical activit and knowing your body leads to better life (gotta get myself a ketone meter). Great video as always and thank you for all the effort you put into your content. I am far from being a Health Champion, but you sure are!
30 years ago they knew very little about nutrition except for the food pyramid given to us by the governments. Two of most obese people I knew(husband/wife) and the wife was a dietician, that was about 16 years ago, so not much has changed in what they teach for that degree.
When I was in pharmacy school in the 90s our nutrition classes taught us to eat lots of "good" carbs and to eat often. It wasn't until after I retired and had time to research I discovered the proper way of eating. (At least for me.)
@@armadillotoe and that is?

My max is *98* hours so I really appreciate this breakdown of what happened! I was intently trying to heal a histamine problem and it has since resolved and I'm sure this had a LOT to do with my healing! Thank you, Dr. Ekberg!!!
That WILL happen.
Well it happened to me. And I am beyond delighted
Don’t add black pepper to your foods
@@iKeto_gal I love it
ayyyy histamine crew
@iKeto_gal why not add black pepper to your food? I've never heard about this.
If it wasn't for Dr. Ekberg, Dr. Fung, and Dr. Berry I have no doubt I wouldn't still be alive. Thank you. 71 and still breathing.
That is an excellent trio to listen to.
I don’t follow Dr. Berg,he is a Scientologist. That’s a cult !
Love them all
I’m currently 107 hours into my 132 hour fast. I’m not doing it for weigh loss, but for inflammation reduction and (hopefully) a new set point.
What kind of inflammation?
Gout or r.a
A herniated L4-L5 disc injury from the gym. I struggled with it for three and a half years. While PT helped a bit, it didn’t ever really stop hurting until my first 5 day fast. I do another one every time I start feeling a bit of the sciatic type symptoms starting to come back. Also, I just visited my aunt who is from Peru and tends to use seed oils in her cooking, I thought I’d just take the week after to fast.
@@elezraitathat a very smart plan to avoid those seed oils!
I just injured myself in the gym and was thinking about fasting for anti-inflammatory and hermetic effects. I've only ever fasted for 80 hours, though.
are you doing cold showers/ice baths as well?
I am happy he's done away with the long intro. Straight to the point. Love it❤
About a month ago I went on a 100 hour fast. I also lost 7 pounds. I walked into a grocery store and past the produce department. It was amazing. I could smell the produce in the air.
Your videos are literally life giving. Thanks Dr. Ekberg.
I struggle to do OMAD but you are an inspiration. It is impressive that you do these experiments on yourself for the benefit of your audience. I love your mention of fasting’s effect on cancer, as we now know cancer is a metabolic disease. Thank you for busting a ton of myths!
Its hard at the beginning, but after 2-3 days your body is used to it and its easy to do.
Thank you doing these sophisticated personal studies on yourself. The results are soo important and give so much perspective as what to expect when we pursue taking charge of our health. We then know this really works!. Very much appreciate that you are so passionate about this and about helping others.
Thank you so much for this information! People think I’m crazy because I’ve done IF for 40 consecutive days now and I am currently doing my second, consecutive, 42 hour fast. I feel good, and my GKI is averaging .8 to 1.
Thank you for the confirmation that this is truly good for me. 😊
May I urge you to get Dr. Mindy Pelz's book "Fast Like a Girl" - I'm 51 and was fasting like a maniac to heal a histamine intolerance (which I did in 5 months), but now I am mindful of my hormones and how they are affected by fasting and by what I choose to eat in which part of my cycle. If you're peri- or post-menopausal, it's an essential read, as well.
You are welcome @heidisnow9836. Thank you for watching. 😄
Great info!
How much water did you drink?
Dry fasting ok?
God bless you. I can’t seem to get through four hours without food.
@@jerri415you drink however much water you want. If you’re thirsty drink.
This is exactly when I need to see. A clear and concise breakdown.
I love the thorough approach to cover each subject & I especially love the slow & mellow verbalization!!
Since I only work in the office and don't exercise regularly, I've gotten into the habit of only eating on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
I am much fitter, have lost almost 20kg, sleep better and am also generally more relaxed.
That is very smart
Man, cannot overstate how great doc is with these videos. Very well thought out step by step easy to understand and follow format that is fantastic information. Great job Doc!!!!!
So many amazing benefits since I started fasting, both physically and spirituality.
It’s a game changer for sure!
Me too! But I haven't seen any spirits yet
I have been on a spiritual fast for almost thirty years ;-)
Thank you @warriorforyah777. One of the biggest benefits is the freedom from the enslaving routine of meals. Most people plan their days around meals. When your body is used to fasting, you can skip a meal and not worry about it if you are busy or traveling. 😄
@@drekberg I absolutely concur
@@drekberg even better is having no dishes to wash
Dr Ekberg I have been following your videos for the last 3 months. I've lost 2 stone, I have so much more energy, sleep better, I am not hungry all the time, and some many more positive changes mentally. I always skip breakfast because am just not hungry till about 1pm. I've not had any added sugar, bread or processed carbs and follow a keto diet. Avocado, 100% peanut butter and eggs are now my go too. I can't overeat either, once I've eaten am satisfied and don't crave anything. Thank you for making these videos, you truly a life saver.
Some key information you missed to mention in your video:
1. How much water do you drink during 100 hours fasting? How many glasses of water did you drink per day?
2. Do you exercise or work out during 100 hours fasting?
3. How is your sleep during 100 hours fasting? Could you get good sleep without cravings interruption at night?
4. How do you break your fast? What foods do you eat when you break your fast?
5. Did you go to work as normal during 100 hours fasting?
6. Did you lose muscle mass?
7. Did you change your mood during this 100 hours fasting? Ex: more angry or aggressive etc
Can no bowel movement during an extended fast be potentially problematic
@@2kismetif you don't eat, you're probably going to have less bowel movements over that time.
@@2kismet Part of the miracle of fasting is giving your _whole digestive system a break._ That being said, believe it or not I've actually had BMs on day-3 of a fast.
1. Drink water if you are thirsty.
2. Light exercise, as a couple of push-ups won't hurt but is not needed.
3. If you come from a high carbohydrate diet it can be rough on sleep. If you are eating low carb, it for me improved my sleep.
4. 100 hours is not enough to think about how you break a fast. But eat lean protein in moderation the first day after the fast and you will be good. Don't go mental with a pizza, you will feel horrible.
5. I did a 5 almost 6 days fast and i was working 14-16 hour shifts as a waiter in a restaurant. My energy was amazing and my head was clear as never before. When i came home i was so hyped at day 4 i started doing some push-ups.
6. I don't know, but nothing to worry about in such a short fast.
7. Mood was significantly improved, i had purpose and was smiling thinking about the future.
But i had been doing keto for more than a year with no cheat, I can't say for people coming from high carb diets straight to fast.
Good questions
Perfect timing for the release of this video because I am about to start a 3 day fast so the information and advice is much appreciated, thanks.
Thanks for doing these experiments Dr. Most people are defeated by addiction and afraid to try anything. I bought the blood work course, thanks for putting that together.
Thank you for the effort you put into your videos Dr. Ekberg. It would be nearly impossible to understand how important fasting longer periods is if you hadn't been so precise. I've never gone past 64 hours, but am seriously considering it though. I think the hardest part about fasting for me is it's kind of boring. You get so geared to going to the fridge, that you don't know what to do with all the free time not focusing on food. Anyhow, I know I'm not the only one who appreciates your videos so thank you! Hope you have an awesome weekend! 😃
Choose a subject and timetable former eating time as study time.
@@SpamMouseeasy to say but not to do.
@@romeman9692 One's mileage will vary, just experiment with exercise, gardening, reading, UA-cam etc.
@@SpamMousethanks. I'm quite a busy man and need to do a lot of things during the day. But completely distract myself from the meal unable. Probably because I'm not a big fan of long last fasting or completely sure in its benefits.
@@romeman9692 I thought it madness before I took the plunge and engaged with the idea. Getting keto right is the first step and fasting is hard if you are still a sugar-burning-dinosaur. But the mental clarity and autophagy is why I still fast.
I love the blood work stats...very informative!...great videos Dr. Ekberg!
I am always on fasting marathon when these videos are uploaded. I've learned a lot from this channel
Do you watch Dr Eric Berg aswell?
I love fasting for 4-5 days every couple month and think everyone should do it. Not to lose weight but as a form of meditation on your nutrition and to better understand the signals of your body.
While these numbers are anecdotal, they are very helpful and interesting, thank you!
Try this method.
Fast for 30 days straight, once every year, 16 hours per day (from dawn to sunset) but no water no food during the 16 hours.
Also try fasting 2 days per week (no water no food). Same as the previous fasting.
I just got done with a 40 day water fast, ended on Day 39 due to hurling stomach bile getting too bad to deal with. I went from 222.4 lbs to 174.6 lbs. I am now at 24% body fat (42lbs) and starting my week of recovery with 1 week of OMAD with simple, small, filling meals. I will be doing mostly carnivore during this week of recovery before making any decision on how to proceed moving forward with my weight loss journey. My thighs feel fantastic again, stomach is heavily improved but still has a long way to go.
Yeah You. Try PHD diet ken berryketo bour carnavor.
The first time I threw up bile -or anything
I would be done
Nope nope nope
@YeshuaKingMessiah The only reason I was throwing up was because I got sick at that point. I typically get the flu/cold/sick once a year, so this was just bad timing.
@@TheJamesGamel40 days without food 😢😮
@fizimezz Hunger was never an issue. I love food, but fasting did a lot of good for me. I'm doing another 40 Day Journey, today is Day 1. 4 simple rules.
1) Water Fast at least 4 days a week.
2) Max 2 meals on nonfasting days, no snacking allowed at all.
3) I can eat anything I want so long as it's either all natural (meat, fruit, veggies) or I make it myself from scratch.
4) After every meal, go for an hour long walk. On fasting days, at least 1 hour long walk.
And plenty of water, of course!
I completed an 85 hour fast on Wednesday 😊
😲👍
Don’t stop there .how was your results ?
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg, your positive health videos have helped my wife and I!
Before I started watching your videos I was having diabetic neuropathy symptoms in my left hand, as well as to many other issues to list. After months of watching your videos and using your healthful advice, we are so much better.
I do not have any of the Type 2 issues anymore.
My wife, who is a Type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump for 20+ years, was able to lose from 118 down to 107 pounds, and feels great. She was able to cut her insulin usage in half. Thank you again for the great health restoration videos, sir. Respectfully, KWB
She must be a small person? 108 for a 5ft person is ok
@@LexTalionis23 She is, about 5' 5". Her goal was to see how the tips that Dr. Ekberg would work with her blood sugar swings. Even on an insulin pump with a CGM she still would have swings. Now the blood sugars are stable and again, insulin usage cut in half. The lost weight was a bonus. She said at 54 she feels better than she did at 20 or 30. And the many "old people" ailments, (pain, here and there) are gone. I guess getting rid of the inflammation made was a game changer.
@@captaincrustyradio Amazing 👍👍
Thank you @captaincrustyradio for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Great job on getting the insulin use down to half with T1D. Most people don't realize that a T1D also can become insulin resistant. Keep it up! 😄
@@drekberg Yes sir , Dr. Ekberg, We believe that was happening. Just because one is treating themselves with top shelf equipment for insulin delivery and using the high speed CGM that talks to the insulin pump is not a license to say..."Hey let's get a bowl of ice cream, I can just take more insulin". My wife, Ola, was able to secure an awesome endocrinologist 20 ago that told the hard truths, such as you do in your videos. It is sad so many T2D today will become T1D because they go to their doctor that does not understand T1D or T2D. They tell them, "You have a touch of sugar, eat some diet cookies". Thank you again, Dr. Ekberg for your great works in touching so many lives in a positive way. Respectfully, Kirk W. Boland
I’m fasting now (Thursday to Monday)! So glad this video isn’t about food! I’ve only ever made it to 2.4 on ketosis. Very nice test!
Hi mike, what are you using to test ketones level? Thanks. I havw a freestye optimum neo for testing blood sugar levels
Ha! I started a fast Thursday night that ends tomorrw as well :) Just thought it was a funny coincidence and decided to share. Lol
You're brilliant Dr Ekberg. This is exactly what people need to see.
Excellent presentation and tons of information. Thanks Sten.
Hi doc! It would be nice if you also make a video on how you broke your 100 hrs fast as breaking a fast is more delicate topic than fasting...
Regards...
I’ve done this so many times.
I always break with liquids, such as broth, just to get the gut going a little. Day 2 after a long fast, I start with some protein and fat. Eggs are good.
Day 3 I add a little more fat trying to eat around 1000 kcal with a 50/50 protein to fat ratio.
Day 4 I add another 500 kcal and move the kcal to 1500 with a 60/40 fat/protein ratio.
Day 5, 2000 70/30 split.
Then I adjust to preference.
Breaking the fast is definitely the most critical part of fasting. The colon needs to be gently nudged to start working again and fruit, soups and light veggies are best.
I love to watch your great health advice videos. No-one else seems to give such thorough explanation as you do, or they will not make it clear for us laymen.
Hello Dr Ekberg,
Enjoying your info immensely. Thank you.
Great Video Doctor S. Thank you. Keep up the GREAT work.... your saving my diabetic life.
dear doctor. thank you very much for sharing detailed information. i have a few of questions: a) did the 100 hour fasting have any impact on your sleep? b) how much caffine you took over the 100 hours and at what frequency? and lastly c) what was your physical activity during the 100 hours - like did you carry on like a normal day or did you make it light for yourself?
Now i feel guilty eating breakfast watching this. Thanks a lot Doc 😂
It depends what you eat for breakfast 😊
@@Meritumas oh I ate a pile lol
You really are the best person on the internet ❤ your work. Please don't stop
Thank you, Sten! Great video! Especially thank you for explaining in a way average people can understand.
This video misses an essential part: How did you feel during those 100 hours? Did you feel hungry or weak? Did you have trouble to concentrate, to work out or to do physical work? How was your digestion?
When I fast for 24+ hours, I have episodes of hunger that come and go, after 30 hours I clearly feel weaker and fade out, when I stand up quickly. When I work out, my high intensity performance drops.
BUT: inflammation goes back. I have a chronic Achilles tendon pain that completely goes away during longer fasts.
Beside longer fasts maybe once every two months, I make OMAD 6 days a week.
Btw. It is easy to get enough food in OMAD, very easy.
Your doing it all wrong. Do keto until your ketone levels are high, takes me 4 days of strict keto. Then start your fast, no hunger pangs, clearer than normal thinking and focus, more than normal energy, at least for me. Fasting is just extreme keto, so if your not already in ketosis, you will suffer and feel weak for about 4 days.
Use a good water or hydration powder with Electrolytes NO Sugar and you'll be good 48 hours
Yes. People who do Keto don't get hungry, take electrolytes & never get hungry, rarely weak. I exercizes all thru' the fast. I fasted 21 days 15hrs.Refeeding is more of an issue than the fast. Have to reintroduce food slowly , little, fatty low carb, or fermented. Two or three days until eating normally.( Low Carb!)
I am currently at 123 hours fasting. The first two days were my most difficult, but after 72 hours, I started feeling great and my thinking became sharper and hunger went away. I don't do this regularly...but about every 2 months or so, I will fast 92-96 hours. So far, on the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting, I've lost over 150 lbs in 1.5 years. Almost to goal weight....but keto & intermittent fasting is a life style I never want to let go of
@@1d10t. right!
There are fasting clinics in Russia.. 21 days water fast under medical supervision .. people from all over Europe check in to try and „cure“ inflammation, cancer, diabetes, high bp, etc… with great success…
Thank you Dr Ekberg! Fantastic information and explanation on bloodwork. I have learn so much from your videos.
thx a lot Dr. Eckberg - every minute I watch your videos is amazing 🙂
Ive gone 6 days and lost 7 pounds.. Black coffee, low sodium chicken broth IF needed, and tons of water..
The first three days were the hardest for me but after that it was easy and I felt the lbs shed off of me! What a great feeling and I felt healthy!
Dude best thing ever to wake up to a new Dr.Eckberg video
This is one of the best channels on UA-cam imo. Thanks Doc!
Fascinating stuff, Dr. Ekberg! While I didn't get the lab tests done, I also recently did a 96-hour fast and got similar results. I ran much lower in blood glucose (54 at 24 hours, 57 at 56 hours, and 42 at 96 hours) and had much lower ketones until the tail end. When I broke the fast I was sitting at 42 glucose, 4.5 ketones for a GKI of 0.5, which is definitely an experience alright.
Most people in the western world have barely skipped one meal since reaching adolescence, let alone more than a day's worth. People look at you like you're an alien when you talk about this stuff.
As always, thank you for what you do. And please get Euvexia in packets ASAP! I love it, it's my favorite electrolyte powder around, but packets would be so much more convenient for traveling.
Thank you DOC!So far,lost 41.3 KG (91 lbs).The show must go on...
At the end of September 2021,I started IF (2 meals a day) and at the end of December started,for the first time,a 5 day no food program.After that,I decided to go on LCHF and OMAD (eating around 6:30 PM) and never looked back!In the last 2 years,I've done 5 days fasting every 3 months,last time at the end of July.
What’s LCHF mean?
@@toriwolf5978 ...Low Carbs High Fat.
A LCHF diet involves using ketones from fat for energy instead of glucose, which comes directly from carbohydrates. When a person significantly reduces or limits the number of carbs they consume in a day, it forces the body to use fat stores as fuel, which may lead to weight loss.
Another great video. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg. Did your level of exercise change during the prolonged fast? 🏋️ 🏃
Great information. You answered some of my burning questions in this video. Thank you very much for sharing this.
Extra ordinary lecture. Well Sten Ekberg. May you live long. Regards and Best wishes for your future endeavours.
Since we know that higher LDL is not itself a problem (as opposed to damaged LDL and triglycerides you discuss here and in other videos), can you do a video on the physiological mechanism by which oil olive and other unsaturated fats tend to drop LDL?
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for another enlightening video, skål. For those who don't have the time or patience to truly understand how the body works, go to the 20 minute mark, this is the gold standard and great advice. Best regards Sten, from Canada.
You are so informative 👏 👌 👍 Cindy
Excellent research & explanations. Appreciate your efforts. You are one of the best in sharing relevant knowledge 😊
Tips
- Start a fast when you are in ketosis, it's soooo much easier as you're not fighting your carb cravings.
- Either don't workout, or workout when you have someone who can help keep you on track. Because most likely you'll get a hunger spike.
- It doesn't hurt but it can be annoying as sometimes your flesh will constantly beg for food for long stretches at a time. But if you have someone there
to keep you on track it is super easy. By yourself, it's a big challenge.

Recap by Tammy AI
I like how you snuck in the blood nutrition lecture . Nicely done
As always, very guiding and scientific backed.❤
I've done three 100 hour fasts already this year. Seems like once every 3 months is a good frequency. Microbiome seems to get re-balanced in 4 days.
Once in month I do a 5 days water fast and it does do wonders, practicing this from past 5 years, thank you doc for explaining it so well. 😊
Would you mind to tell how old are you and why you been doing it?
A very interesting experiment. Thank you!
Thanks Sten, great explanation on LDL-p. Very useful.
I recently did a 26 day fast. The last week my ketones never dropped below seven and in the evenings was 8 or above, while my glucose level was in the 70s. I felt great. My follow-up is a 68 hour fast every week until I get down to a weight that is acceptable.
Improved this your sleep quality?
@@Hikmetkarademir I can't definitively say it did. But it seems like maybe somewhat. That is primarily due to the fact that I have been on Biologics for psoriasis for over 10 years which has given me peripheral neuropathy which makes it hard to sleep. I quit taking the Biologics at the beginning of the fast and have had zero psoriasis symptoms. My neuropathy does seem to be improving which makes it easier to sleep.
Getting off the Biologics is a huge health benefit!
Impressive! My max is 10 days.
What a wonderful and detailed explanation!! Really great!! Thank you very much! And what a timing, because yesterday I decided to start a 5 to 6 days fast today! This kind of information is very empowering!!🙏
I’ve done 3 days water fast before, I’d love to try this but wow 5 days hmmmmm ….
I’ll be reaching five days at 7:15 pm tonight. I’ll go until 7:00-7:30 tomorrow morning because I don’t like eating past 6:00 pm if I can help it. Five days is very doable.
@@dianatrans1804 I already did 6 days (one time only) a while ago. But 5 days I have done a few times in the past two years. But 3 days is really very good. It feels majestic somehow. The achievement gives you a sense of conquering yourself and that feels good. I drink water and black coffee!
@@elezraita wooow!! I know how that feels!! You feel proud and good but a voice starts entering your mind that says “you have done enough, you can be satisfied”! The most difficult part for me is to be moderate when I start eating again. I know that I should limit myself to a full soup and/or shrimps. So I have to work on controlling myself after that!!
I wish you strength!!!
What a clear and concise presentation. I gained simple insights into what my plan of action needs to be. Most appreciative of this information😀
Thanks, Dr. for this.
i'm on day 4 right now . Good effort
Thank you @Sp1n3c. Good Job 😄
I did 14 days at the end of 2021, just electrolytes....ketones were off the scale at the maximum it shows of 8mmol/l....
Good work.
Having very high ketone levels is nothing advantegous. It just shows that your vody isn't really adapted to use it as fuel.
Thanks for the share!
During this time, what was your activity level?
@@icart83 In the first week I went out low intensity walks and also cycling, eased up in the second week but was renovating a bathroom in the house!
@@mikecreativision Hmmmm....I'd dispute that, never felt crap, dizzy or weak during it including walking and some cycling. Inefficient use of ketones usually happens to newbies- their pee shows up high levels at the beginning and that tapers off once they are used by the body. I'd expect my levels to be very high as there's nothing(food) coming in to buffer the levels, it's verging on starvation....but you've never gone that far presumably anyway.
Your videos are pure gold
I watch, enjoy, and get great information with all your videos. Especially the series where you do or don't do something for a specific amount of days/time, and see how it actually affects the body.
I was hoping you can do a video, with a little different spin.
You keep eating your healthy diet and compare before and after blood tests but you do a workout from 1-1 1/2 hrs. 5 times per week (one week), of aerobic exercise in Zone 2 (60%-70%) of your maximum heart rate. Any excercise run, bike, swim etc. This might show any correlation with continuous, extended cardiovascular sustained excercise and improved mitochondria at the cellular level when the before and after bloodwork, is compared from exercise not diet.
I’d love to see other doctors comment on videos like these. That way there can be an informed and healthy discussion, for example about cholesterol particle size importance. But any other thing as well.
Not many will…..
Unfortunately 😢 people staying sick is how they grow their wealth.
Oh there are and they don't like it. They will also point out to their studies and how BIG their group is.
Well that creates the other group, that watches and comments on these videos. Both are not great, but a balanced and maybe sometimes opposing views, as long as backed by studies is a great for the comment section@@nelsontragura1441
Well, they could oppose or agree. Nobody said comments here have to all agree with what is being presented in the video@@dianatrans1804
I always say I fast for Autophagy but now I know The rest of the story. Lately I had the best 5 day fast ever. The weight goes off and comes back usually BUT of the 9lbs off only 4 came back. I think this fast didn’t have a frenzy re-eating problem “At all”. I’m 76 and live in a over 55 apartment and I was just at a “ meet your neighbor “ coffee party. They were in a friendly manner offering me a Doughnut, and said one won’t hurt. I tried not to get excited but did say what do you have against me. Ha ha ha ( thoughts planted). They all see me ride my electric Unicycle around or walk all over town. Major topic, I call my health my hobby.
Just looking at donuts makes my stomach churn in disgust. Seriously, do people bother paying attention to half the stuff they eat... especially donuts? They don't even look like something a creature on earth would want to eat. I can picture beavers using them to build a donut dam.
@@henrythegreatamerican8136 22:10 same
This video was very insightful for me. One of the best.
Dr. Thank you so much for this comprehensive explanation, I really appreciate it!
Thank you for sharing the details analysis impact of fasting
You are welcome @amdiyub. Thank you for watching. 😄
God bless you sir, my new favorite channel!
Brilliant stuff - thank you Doctor
Hi Sten, did you exercise during this fast? I would be interested to know your activity during these 100 hours and how you felt.
The fisrt 2 days are hard as you have hunger but then you reach a point where that stops and you get this great feeling. Your mind seems to be free of fog.
@johncrow5552 After two days? I did once three days and felt extremely weak at the end.
Very informative.
I would also love to know how is your mental state and are you feeling something while trying to do 100 hrs? I normally do 18 hr fasting 3 x a week, when I piush it to over 20 hrs, I am feeling very lathargic.
This is great, very, VERY reassuring and helpful. I'm a keen extended faster but I'd worried a bit about low blood sugar levels, my recent lowest (after 13 days) being 3.0 mmol with ketones 5.4 mmol, GKI 0.56. I was feeling great the whole time but it's nice to hear some confirmation. I still have about 56 lbs to lose which is why I've been doing it. For me the big challenge is maintaining my summer weight loss through the winter months.
I'm gonna be doing a 42 hour fast starting right now. I've been on a constant 20:4 IF for a couple of months now and the last time I did a 48h fast was a year ago. This motivated me to try long fasts again
I didn't eat for 7 days once. It was great. I lost about 15 lbs. I only ate psyllium seed husk, a daily probiotic and water. Felt like a reset to my metabolism. I felt great at day 7 and wasn't even hungry. I actually got really hungry from days 2-4 and then it went away.
Lección magistral. Excelentemente explicado. Gracias.
Great reset! :D
Were you still working while fasting? Do you recommend resting while fasting?
I do a 40-48 hour water fast a few times a year. It's not /easy/, but it's also not as hard as a lot of people think it is.
Great stuff sir! keep it coming.
I love that you are your own Guinea pig for our knowledge and health.
Hello Dr Ekberg. Trust you are well. You made no mention of vitamins during fasting. I take vit D, vit B, Magnesium. Potassium. Good to continue during 48 hour fasting given they are food supplements ?
This is amazing, most I did was just 72 hrs. My struggle with long fast is the refeeding process. How do you do yours after a long fast? Thank you very much for all the things you do. It does help a lot of people like me. I already lost 35 lbs and more importantly my HgA1c is now in the normal range.
Bone Broth is my go to
Bone broth
Just go low carb after it eggs and meat
He mentioned how to break a fast on an earlier video: VERY helpful to me... made all the difference. Best wishes!
Bone and vegetable broth. You get all the needed nutrition back into your body without the fiber or bulk that will cause digestive issues. Yet it is enough to re- start your digestion so you can eat something a bit more substantial an hour or two later. This is when I usually have a small portion of Salmon.
Appreciate your videos dr. ekberg thank you for these experiments at your own risk👍👍♥️
Excellent research, than you for sharing
Thanks, really great content !
Question: How often per year should someone do a 100 hours fasting ?
He mentions at the end that 2 to 4 times a year is all good
I'm 67 and did 85 hours just this week. On the last day I noticed weakness and loss of energy so it was a good time to stop the fast. I will do this again after Christmas.
I tried water fast for 1 week/ 21 days/ 22 days... And continue to 1 meal a day. My greatest fear which is cancer gone completely. And I lose more than 80 kg in 6month. Now I try to gained to healthy weight because I lose too much. My current weight is 55kg and completely healthy.
