37 days no alcohol. Now to start cleaning up my diet
I did a 37 day stay in rehab back in October and I have been eating a completely healthy diet for 63 days now. I feel amazing already. You got this stay strong 💪
Great job! Keep it up.
You just inspired me to do the same…
Why are you counting the days? So you can tell people how many days you last this time before you go back again? When you change your identity into "I'm not one of those" you won't do it ever again. - Tony Robbins
Great job I'm around 100 days
Four days without donuts, I'm going for seven. Never give up.
Lol. Some comments are just funny. Nothing else. Kudos.
going for seven....days, or donuts?
@@dbryant650 How about 7 donuts a day! I'll do that next week... thanks for the inspiration. Stay strong!
@@billnolljoke about it but you’d be surprised how good you can really feel eating better for as little as a week
I went a year no doughnuts def made a difference
I just did this fast from Sunday until Thursday. I lost 15 pounds and the inflammation in my knee reduced dramatically. I have had knee pain for decades and this is the first time that my knee has felt this good. I am going to do this fast possibly once every 90 days.
Did the weight stay off or did you gain some back?
I grew up in a third world country so not eating for a long time is ironically a norm.
which third world country? Mexico?
Thats what all humans need
@@SimplyHuman186Not all. For people with thyroid problems it makes it worse. But we definitely need to find a good balance and not overeat all the time
No, where your mum is from @@danielbroomhall8882
That's not irony
I got myself a sailboat, I live on it, $3500 yearly cost of living including everything, takes stress away. I fish, I love fishing and sailing, I eat only seafood, no carbs, I lost 70kg. This spring I'll star a lifelong fishing trip around the world, no stress for food, no stress over cost of living. If I need some extra money, I'll do some food delivery on my land transport vehicle, Honda CT 125, life is good, I'll be out on the sea watching the world burn!
That’s awesome. I don’t know the first thing about sailing or boating but I suppose it’s never too late to learn.
Look out for rocks, tides, storms, whales, sharks, and dolphins. They'll kill you.
That is the perfect life, I envy you.

I do a 60-hour fast every month. Just finished one this morning.
Watch out for gallstones
When I was a kid I went to a radical church, peeps there were doing 20-30 days fasts all the time.

By 7 pm tonight I'll will have completed a 96 hr fast
Awesome you did that! I am 49 hours in and want to hit 84 to 96 hours. Feeling strong. 😊
@@lindabennardo2561 50 hours and counting for me.
Congrats. I’ve tried, made it 1.5 days and broke at night. I wanna give this a shot again. Feel like I’m holding mad water. My question is, do I stop my workout routine? Workout HIT calisthenics 3x a week and BJJ 3x a week?
@@ScottygetrightThe water will just go back on once you break the fast, it’s not as simple as drinking water for a few days and expecting it the pounds to magically disappear.
@@rossrobson91 yeah maybe. I’m not really trying to lose fat weight, just like 5-7lbs of water so my abs show a bit more.
I do 3-day water fast every 3 months and wanted to share my experience. Research suggests this duration of 3 days is optimal for reaching the peak of autophagy-burning significant body fat without compromising muscle mass. Going beyond 3 days might yield more fat loss but comes with the trade-off of potential muscle loss.
You’re losing water weight
@@DriftingStudent Wrong
@@ChrisPTY507 okay
@@DriftingStudent
What do you mean water ? After the 3days?
@@richguev no the first 3 days I meant, but I’m assuming he didn’t go much longer than 72 hours
I've done 96 hour dry fasts. I mean, it's not a big deal. Felt amazing. No muscle loss and zero inflamation throughout my entire body. I finally got a baseline feeling as to what it is to live without inflammation, which inflammation causes a whole host of issues.
Dry fasting gives the most benefits, you just have to be non active while doing it .
Yup, this video is crap. You don't lose lean mass while fasting.
Okay Thomas it's time to get Dr Jason Fung on the podcast to discuss fasting ( and muscle loss) ... maybe Ori Hofmekler too.
It's time to ignore most of tom
@@SimplyHuman186how come?
Muscle loss happens with fasting any claims otherwise are delusional
YES!!!! Fung is so rigid on muscle loss.... But I've personally experienced horrific muscle loss through fasting. These fasting Dr s are delusional
@@itzajdmting you need to eat enough meat.
Dude, I have fasted for 7 days once, and 3 days 4 or 5 times.
36-48 hrs literally dozens of times.
Every single fast has improved my health.
Thats not fasting, I was talking to a man that said he fasted for 12 days only to find out he ate pudding the whole fast . true he fasted for his regular diet. but fasting is no food.
Yeah that sounds like he was on a short diet of pudding
Yeah, but he ate the pudding fast - so it's just a difference of opinion as to what "fast" means. 😆
Yeah for real!!!! Like lmao ok dana did not fast. The bone broth is definitely calories . Electrolytes are acceptable imo but the calories come on lol not fasting if calories are consumed
True, but autophagy does not turn on and off like a switch. It is more of a spectrum. The bone broth is just a minor disruption in the whole process.
@@mj625 that's fair - and honestly it would be different if Dana White was built like me, with an extra 60-70 pounds of fuel to burn. :-) that said, I was watching Peter Attia just yesterday on Tom Bilyeu's channel, and there's no real "markers of autophagy" - so if you're really trying to accomplish something dramatic from an autophagic "sensescent cell reduction" standpoint, I think you'd need to really fast for 2-3 days.
I see it reccomend often to have bone broth as a fast breaking before transitioning back into whole food. Just extend the transition and call it a 36/60 fast, just a 36 hour water fast followed by 24 hours of bone broth & perhaps essential fats and exercise.
I fasted for 5 and 7 days back in 2022. 2023 I did 3 day fasts. 2024 so far I have done a 72 hr fast. The 7 day fast was tough, day6 and 7, I wasn’t up to much, I kept it up because my asthma went away, after 53 years . I was hungry at times but admit I lost the desire to eat. When I started eating on day 8, I had to force myself to put the food in my mouth, it was harder than I expected. The healing was amazing, I truely felt fantastic after 2 days of refeeding. I have been unable to repeat it yet, maybe this year. 3 day fasts are good, but I don’t seem to experience the same levels of healing that a 5 or 7 day fast does for me.
This is such a great plan man. What you are advising w the 24-36 fast w low carb good protein low calorie eating for the next couple days. Love this. Thanks man
I love the term "crisis of abundance". It's something I always think about but never could pin down a label for it. It reminds me of the clip after the first Borat movie when Sascha is in the grocery store in the sliced cheese aisle with the clerk asking him, "And what is this?" "It's cheese". And then goes on to ask the same question about the 200 other versions of sliced cheese.
Thanks for your relentless sincerity, dedication and work to bring us balanced and relevant views on this very complicated topic of Health ! Just buying you a coffee on this lovely morning in Singapore!
So refreshing to find someone educated, who actually walks the walk. Great info and you deliver it in a classy manner without dropping f bombs every other word like so many adult juveniles that saturate the fitness industry! You are a breath of fresh air! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the review.
Question, what are your thoughts on the same type of heater that runs on gasoline?
Could you make a video about AAKG (alpha-ketoglutaric acid)?
Is it worth taking as a supplement?
I've done up to a 7 day with clear liquids in the past. It was before the days of electrolyte powders. It's been several years now since I've done a 3 day which I found was better to do with a work schedule, etc. This was the best information I've ever heard about both the effects and some ways to maximize the benefits. On a side note, I never found myself thinking about food as Dana White described. In fact, the longer without it, the less interested in it I was.
Probably because he hadn’t become carb free.
I am finishing up a 48 hr water fast today.
No desire to do more though .
I'm sure I'll do a 3 day at some point.😊
how did it go? How do you feel? what are the benefits to this?
I'm at 25 hours. Will hit 48 tomorrow a.m. I've done 3-day fasts before, but I prefer 2-day instead.
Nice! I've tried a 48 hour fast and the hardest part wasn't the hunger, but fighting the urge to boredom eat
@SM-gq3wr sorry if you already know this, but the extended fasts are much easier if you are already eating a low-carb or ketogenic diet. You can avoid some of the symptoms you experienced.
@@linneasimchah1621you don't even begin to see autophagy until day 4.
I fasted for 5 days. Everyone thought I was crazy but I felt on top of the world. My eye sight oddly was significantly sharper and my brain felt snappy and awake. I was also always in a state of calm or bliss. Slept like shit and CRAVED CARBS! Specifically Chipotle. Not sure why but my brain kept telling me to eat a burrito. Also when I was fasting I was still enjoying my morning coffee with my favorite Carmel creamer. I know it’s not a pure water fast but if cheating helps you pass a test I say go for it.
cuz burritos are loaded with shit.
Sleep problem was likely good ol keto flu
Well done!
I did a 90 hr fast in December, then 107hrs in January, because it just felt easy as each day went by ...
Sleep on longer fasts, day 1 I sleep the best!! Then consecutive days are much lighter sleeps, it's a thing...
I wasn't craving carbs, if I was craving anything during my longer fasts, it's fat, nuts, salmon and protein!
Same with me. Could not sleep. Mind power buddy.
Meditate, get sunshine, and keep moving a lot. They'll radically improve your fasting experience.
I am doing IF right now at rolling intervals of at least 36 hours and often go longer to 42-46 hours. Most eating windows are 2 meals, but I can do 3. I can do 1 if I go carnivore with high saturated fats, but I am trying to limit saturated fats right now. I do eat saturated fats, but I prefer to have lean ground beef and then mix in pasture eggs or maybe a pound of sockeye salmon. Some eating windows are carnivore, some keto, and some just try to be somewhat reasonable with some carbs. A week ago, I had a Chipotle bowl with double chicken, most of the options including beans and rice, the guac and extra guac, and then I added 1 lb. of 93/7 ground beef. I split it an ate it over 2 meals. I cannot do that every eating window, or my weight loss will stop, or I may gain a little. I am currently down 80 lbs. and need to lose 80 more. Pounds 1-60 were not too difficult from April to early September, but the last 20 have been more and more stubborn. I had a bad plateau at a little over 70 lbs. and this longer IF has helped break it. I weigh myself frequently throughout the day and note when I feel hunger. By watching when my weight starts to move and when I feel hunger, I think I am getting a good idea of when I start adapting and what the adaptation is. I can adjust how long the fast is (36 minimum), how many meals I eat, how big the meals are, what the macros are, how clean I eat, and what nutrients I get. I take supplements but only electrolytes while fasting. When I eat, I take several more and they will be an exception when I decide to go carnivore. I lose the most weight and have the least problem with fasting longer while carnivore with higher saturated fat (ribeye, 80/20) however, I get to the point where I am over 48 hours fasted then 3 bites into a steak and don't want more. It seems like a signal that I need something else, but sometimes I wonder if it would be best to just worry about that after I lose more weight. Trying to fit in all the healthy foods everyone says I need is slowing or stopping weight loss. I can verify the wanting food while not hungry aspect of longer fasting. It happens all the time and it is weird. But my will power is strong at this point. I have not eaten early once since starting these rolling fasts, but a couple times I did eat more than I should have when I broke the fast. You cannot pig out on garbage just because you are fasting like some claim. Portions and choices still matter a lot. Thomas suggests breaking a fast with up to 100 grams of protein. I do not. I suggest a smaller meal to trigger hunger and then a larger meal when you get hungry 1-3 hours later. The first meal can have enough protein for mTOR and then a modest amount of fats and carbs if you choose. If you are eating carbs, a few will help you get that hunger going. The next meal should load up on that protein and you should eat slowly till full but be ready to stop and don't keep eating. If you blast through satiety, you will need a fast several hours longer to compensate and get back whatever you gained. The formula is not calories in calories out. It is calories out, calories in. That means you don't break the fast till the calories come out. Watch your body adapt and manipulate it. For me the weight usually starts moving at about 16-19 hours. When you feel a 15-20 minute hunger, consider it a signal that your body is considering adapting or is doing so. It could be a great time to do some exercise to force continued fat burning. If your weight loss seems to slow after 40 hours, it could be a signal that you maxed your fast and need to eat. If you have not achieved more losses since your last feeding window, break the fast anyway and tighten up what you are eating and add more exercise. Your body will adapt, and you will lose if you do not adapt too. If you are stubborn enough you can adapt more than your body can. I think this cycle of IF is better than a constant low-calorie diet since I am constantly forcing adaptation rather than staying in a disadvantageous adapted state. When I do eat, even when I moderate it, I have at least 1 sizable meal. My body is regularly provided what it is looking for, and I think the eating pattern is more natural. Yes, I will have to reverse diet out of this eventually, but I see no reason to delay weight loss for that now.
Thomas, can you please put out a fasting protocol?
Do you have a recommendation for Tongkat Ali, this isn't the right video. Scowling the internet and too many options. Anyway I thumbs up on the video man, always great content.
I do long term fasting regularly and it saved my life
Hey Thomas, what is your thoughts on unicity? A friend of mine recently tried to recruit me into joining.
thanks for the info
Awesome!! Keep it up and cheers to your good health. 🥊 Keep punching!
36-48 hours is optimum for avoiding muscle breakdown but getting the benefits.
That's what I've read as well. Anything after 72 you start to break down muscle. That'll make you loose weight, but no thanks to that! I want to loose fat.
BS, you don't lose lean mass when fasting unless you're under 4% body fat. In fact, the body holds onto essential aminos bc we need muscle to catch our prey. Go read Dr fungs books or any studies on fasting that do DEXA scans.
Do you do any resistance training during fasts?
I do extended fasts once in a while. Not for fat loss, but because fasting improves my joint pain and inflammation starting at around 24 hours. My longest is 7 days. I read that HGH levels increases during fasts so I agree that resistance training would be best to try to prevent muscle loss.
And that thing about not being hungry but thinking about food all the time is true for me too!
Are you keto? I stopped grains a long time ago and the pain was a lot less, but still there. I stopped nightshades and after many months the pain is mostly gone. But I also take black cumin seed oil and drink teas and herbal teas.
Please make a video on how to treat mitochondrial myopathy and other types of myopathy
I can confirm the thinking about food, even though I was not hungry. Suddenly, I found myself watching the food channel moore and moore.
Just finishing up a 3 day fast and I've been looking up recipes on UA-cam all day 😂
I did a ten day Master cleanse - I actually wrote a cookbook during that time, fantasy dishes included Barbeque and mashed potato pot pie, i definitely enjoyed that one.
I just started fasting. About 3 weeks ago. Still learning. I do a 24hr fast once a week. Is that ok to do?
Super informative, just started my 86 hour fast yesterday
I'm at second week of 24 hr fasting only eating lunch everyday moving on from 18 hr. Should I go for more?
Interesting format, I like it
How can you tell if you are at 50 to 60% VO2 max?
Excellent video thank you
1:15 hey Thomas, I've wondered that I have not found many videos or info about this, so can I just do it then? I'm still obese, should I still be concern about muscle mass loss for 86+hr fast and or vitaminic deficiency?
thanks for your videos man!
Every cell in your body has protein. Your body will preferentially target other cells before breaking down muscles that you use daily.
Also, you'll be good on vitamin C for at least 2 months.
So exercise in the morning on a fast is better? Especially aerobic or is that then after lunch?
Explained very clearly, very good material as always, keep it up!
Is there any reason to do a 5-7 day fast if you can get more autophagy through 24-48 + exercise? Maybe some improvement for the microbiome or inflammation?
This vid goes into detail on the benefits of fasting based on duration..
ua-cam.com/video/xWNsaa5UUqY/v-deo.htmlsi=jdhH2LimSvCGVupD
More weight loss. I average one pound per day of fat loss per day I fast. More in the first few days because of water weight.
Cellular regeneration doesn't even start until a minimum of 4 days. 2-3 days does nothing but reduce inflammation and blood sugar.
A lot more cellular regeneration, especially if you are sick or old. Autophagy doesn't begin to peak until 72 hours and doesn't taper off until 7-10 days. But people who are sick, old, or injured can go longer before hitting peak autophagy because they have a larger store of degenerate cells to burn. Lots of anecdotes of sick people being able to fast longer before entering starvation. 130 Ib cancer patients being able to water fast 30-45 days, or dry fast 15 days, etc.
Love your videos. Wish you would have touched on carnivore diet and how that relates to glucose and fatty liver?
Great informative video. Thanks. I can confirm when I break 3-day (or longer) fast with some natural juice I get such a sugar cravings!! Much better is some natural source of protein...(but not a nuts, it's hard to digest on an empty stomach )
16:00 you need to do both cardio and resistance training while multi-day fasting. The cardio helps manage uric acid buildup from occurring and helps keep your heart from atrophying, pretty much your most vital “muscle”.
Glad to hear this because on my 60-107 hr fasts I've done the past 10 months, I do cardio plus weights near daily 🤔
@@renee3148 that’s the best way to do it! Being sedentary slams the kidneys with uric acid buildup, and any major muscle group not getting stimulated is prioritized for catabolism.

Just got out of a 36 hour fast but now learned more about it and will utilize 24's more often and not stick to the repetitive 16/8 as I was. Thanks
You don't even get autophagy until day 4
@@AsAWhiteManMarriedToALatinadepends. If you're diabetic, it takes longer to start autophagy.
Typical person will see measureable autophagy start at some point on day 2, and the rate of autophagy increases continually for about 72 hours after it starts, and then plateaus for 24-72 hours, and then steadily decreases until the end of the fast.
Hi!
My blood pressure was elevated in my 6th day of water/salt fasting and I had to stop!
Any advice?
He wouldn't know.
I am currently on day 7 fasted. Much more clarity than a 72 hour fast. Not too mention first 3 days are usually much more challenging due too hunger hormones. After 72 hunger diminishes and its cruise control.
What do you do if you get a headache fasting?
Excellent video
Thank you for these useful information! Much appreciated!
A couple of years back i had some sort of flu illness. It knocked me for six for four days or so. However it also knocked my hunger for six too. As a result i went for three weeks eating next to nothing. I just had zero appetite. Every single ache and pain i had in my joints went away completely. Felt really good.
I'm experienced at fasting. Usually 48-72 hours every other month. I struggle with the ideal length of the fast. It is my understanding that after 72 hours stem cell generation occurs. If we stop at 48 hours or even 72 hours, are we missing the added benefit of stem cell regeneration? In other words, is Dana White's 86 hour fast done maybe twice a year ideal because it gives you 14 hours of stem cell generation? An comments will be helpful.
How much of the bone broth are you to take? Like 1 8oz cup (2) or drink whatever I want?
Just did a 27 hour fast plus a liver detox (because I have abused alcohol in the past and never had done a liver detox before). I’m going to try a OMAD but no more than 2 meals a day to do at least a 20 hr fast everyday.
What did you use to detox your liver?
@@650tonyd epsom salt, grapefruit and olive oil! I can look for the procedure, it needs to be everything in a specific time
Can you have regular black coffee during the fast...no additives?
I always practice OMAD and just finished a 72hr fast yesterday, only water. Feels great!
Been doing OMAD for years. I never fast longer than that. I'm already slim, so I don't have extra pounds to lose
How many calories do you eat for omad
totally agree that when fasting I tend to notice myself thinking about food more often. I assume its an involuntary brain response. I totally agree that day 3 of a water fast is the pinnacle.
I've been playing with fasting for awhile for health and weight problems. I use to have to scrub my face every single day because all the dead skin and put on so much lotion I don't care to think about. With extended fasting went from 298 to 205 my skin is clean and clear and my extra skin on my body is, mind you very slowly but it is shrinking and my stretch marks are agian extremely slowly is getting better. Read all the comment from other fasting videos, other people stories will make your brain implode with all the things it has helped people.
Did I misunderstand or did the Autophagy expert say exercise alone induced Autopghagy equally regardless if fed or fasted? After which Thomas immediately said the opposite with "fasting is probably further augmenting autophagy".
Strange.
I have done the 24 hrs fast but never a 3 day fast. I going give it a try
I do a 12 day a few times a year and it sucks but I feel so much better afterwards. I just have water and nothing else.
Man I use to do this all the time and I really miss the mental challenge. The hell with all the weight loss benefits…Nobody ever talks about how much mental discipline you are training your mind to do.
I did 5 day fast last year, and that was rough. I don't know why, but at about the 4 day mark my heart rate and blood pressure start fluctuating all over the place, even with the electrolyte supplements.
taking creatinee during long fasting any effect on autopagy?
You shouldn’t be taking in creatine without food intake. That’s just a normal rule
I am on day 9 of a water fast and have lost 15lbs and going to transition to bone broth then protein
I needed to lose weight and quit drinking for the new year (starting at 196lbs, 5'9, twenty nine year old male) and decided an SOS free diet and extensive fasting method would be a good strategy. So in January I fasted for 72 hours and then kept my calories under 1000 a day for the next 72 hours, doing one meal a day, then rinse and repeat. I ate 15 total meals in January and lost 37 pounds, 18 of which were fat. January was hard because I quit smoking, alcohol, caffeine, added salt, processed foods, animal products, bread, junk food, THC (I'm Canadian), and sweeteners. Then, when February rolled around, I added an extra fasting day so I fast 96 hours now and eat one meal a day for 72 hours. In March I'll be maintaining 96 hour fasts while reducing my 72 hour (3 meal) eating windows down to 48 hours (2 meals). I'll keep extending fasts and shortening feeding days each month until I'm closer to 129lbs.
I've been doing light to moderate exercise while on this new year's diet. I've been lifting weights at home, going for long walks, doing cardio, and light strength training. My strength is increasing fairly quickly. The human body is pretty resourceful when you're overweight. As long as you're very observant and cautious, 86+ hours of fasting can be incredibly simple and not cost much. The benefits are massive. If you're not overweight, I don't know why you'd do that much fasting, but a bit is great. 99% of human limitations are psychological. And even lean beasts like Thomas can benefit from regular shorter fasts, but as long as you eat good foods, going beyond 168 hour fasts can actually just cause loss of progress, especially if you're shredded and under 10% bmi.
Could you take a small amount of EAAs during the longer fast? Or will the leucine ruin it.
Really good video man.
Thomas, would like to hear you talk more about fasting for those of us who are over weight.
So should i still take my daily supplements on a fast? I Take
Boron,v-D,ZMA,tongkat ali, ashwagandha, DIM,and citrulline every day. I already mostly only eat 1 meal a day not really on purpose just how i want it most days with my job. But i feel like only having supplements in me for multiple days wouldn't be good? would appreciate a response thx.
Ashwagandha lowers cortisol, you need it while fasting to increase glucose from your liver
How about carnivore or extra low carb keto people? Any difference to these fasts?
Does this have a long term benefit for mental Clarity or only short term effects
I did a 16 day water fast 4 years ago I'll never do it again . I do 2 days every month now .
i'm 76 hours in. What can i eat when i break my fast ? im told to eat light like soup or smoothies
I'm on a fast at the moment (75hrs so far) I was going for 7days (168hrs).
I did a 7day fast back in August but I felt rough for a week after (I put it down to doing too much exercise while on the fast).
I don't have a lot of fat on me but was lead to believe the longer the fast the more internal healing goes on (the body feeds off the bad cells), any advice on this?
I know new data comes out all the time, but kind of being overloaded with conflicting advice when you see people doing 21day and 40day fasts.
I want the internal healing rather than fat loss and apart from Christmas I eat fairly healthy.
Try dry fasting. Look into August Dunning, Phoenix Protocol
@@Ontonaut Thanks for that mate🙏
I'd never heard of that, but just ordered the book of Amazon and subbed his YT channel👍
@@borntraveller007 you’re welcome! 3 weeks ago I did a 7 day dry fast. My 5th one since getting the book in 2021. I’ll do occasional short wet fasts under 48 hours, but longer fasts I’ll only do dry. It’s so much more effective. Deep autophagy, stem cell release, and detox all are more intense without water. I bet you will like it
@@Ontonaut That is exactly what I'm after, thank you 🙏
I normaly start a fast every sunday aftenoon, and depending how long it last, that sets the time for the next fast if i skip a week or not.
If i fast for 24/36/48h i will most likely do it again next week.
If i go beyond that i will skip a week.
I wonder if this is too often, but i also get the problem of constantly thinking about food when i get to 30+ hours, even if i dont feel super hungry, if i could fix that, i feel like i could do it for 30 days if i wanted to.
Are you off carbs?
@@pilgrimlady8196 no, i dont skip carbs when im not fasting
Easy.. .. Get outside. Get busy
This channel simply rocks ❤
So with the fast can you work out also ?
19:53 The body does indeed adapt to frequent fasting. I was doing 4 multi-day fasts per month to heal my brain injury and saw pretty steep diminishing returns. I now give myself at least 10 days between multi-day fasts. Any smaller window and I don’t tend to get the autophagy tingles until the last day, usually 40-50 hours in. With a 10-day break, I usually get them about 24 hours in.
What’s an autophagy tingle
@@The3lloba it’s very similar to the sensation of returning bloodflow, not entirely unlike “pins & needles”
So… would it make sense to fast Sunday night till Tuesday morning 36 hours, go no carb Tuesday and Wednesday, then increase 75 or so grams of carbs each day till we finish on Sunday?
I did 5 weeks keto and needed a break from eating. Fasted till I was hungry....in the end I chickend out and ate after 4 days even though I wasn't hungry. I was scared about refeeding etc. Felt like i was on drugs, happy all the time, energised.
I just finished doing a 21 day water fast only on January 25th. The first 14 days I took an unflavored 0 calorie LMNT and it was quite doable. Natural hunger does leave at around day 4 to 5. It was all water all the way. No protein shakes, no black coffee, no tea, no bone broth. Only 1 0 cal unflavored LMNT pack in the morning and the water the whole day. Your digestive system goes to sleep after a couple days of not eating. Habit hunger is what is the mental battle. Its more like Boredom hunger. You get tired of sipping on water. I truly was not hungry past day 4 and after, but habit hunger is completely different from natural hunger. Natural hunger can come after day 21 or past day 40. Once natural hunger comes back, you're in starvation. Habit Hunger definitely let me know how addicted to food I was. My stomach wasn't hungry, but my mind was. The last 7 days I stopped taking LMNT and it made it even harder. I thought about food frequently. I pacified myself watching food videos. Was it worth it?! ABSOLUTELY!!! I did it more to have greater revelation of the Lord, and He healed my Spinal column today miraculously. Bible Scripture and Science both agree that fasting is good for the body. What Dana white said is true, spiritually, the selfishness or carnality of the flesh dies, but I got empowered by My Lord Jesus Christ. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. The Human body can take a lot of adversity. All my organs, brain and eye sight and leg strength functioned well. I was just very cold a lot. Nothing was abnormal.
Very cold means your thyroid slowed down
🙏🏻🙏🏻
I did a 14 days fast once. just water and nothing else. By day 12th, I got tired just taking a shower, so I ended it on day 14th. 21 days is a bit too much
Basically, if you are in a caloric restriction, you are going to lose weight. Just like there is a concept of doing clean keto and doing dirty keto. You can do a clean fast or a dirty fast. A clean fast in my opinion is when you consume 0 cal. A dirty fast is when you still restrict yourself and are in a caloric deficit but you are still bringing in calories. At the end of the day, the person can do whatever the hell they want, so get out of your emotions, trying to judge the person.did he lose weight?
He looks thinner….
The problem with myself is I almost died two years ago from a mouth infection. I lost all kinds of weight my sugar levels out of control. And when I was prepped for jaw surgery, the anesthesiologist came in to talk to me. He was very concerned about my sugar levels. He said you’re gonna have a hell of a time recovering and healing when your sugar levels are out of control. I had surgery. I’m alive dead bone so much that they put a titanium rod across my jaw to hold it together so I can’t afford to lose more weight skinny from 190 to 148 now just because I lost all my bottom teeth and I can’t eat. I got screwed yeah, I was letting her dentist work on me. I had one tooth pulled out kept going back saying I’m still in pain and he pulled all the left bottom teeth out. I said I’m still in pain. I can’t help you no longer. I went and got a second opinion found out I had Osteo myolysis bone infection, yeah I had to be a pick line and my jaw now has a titanium bar. Thanks to the dentist that didn’t stop pulling teeth. anyways, I’m alive but I can’t afford to lose any more weight so what can I do? My sugar levels are bad and the doctors gonna call me tomorrow actually talk about diabetes. but I don’t wanna be labeled with diabetes so trying to fix myself
Go carnivore. Eat hamburger meat with Eggs on top. Fried with yolks still runny. Plenty of salt. Zero carbs. Electrolytes.
You need to Re nourish your body. It’s had a rough time. Stay far far away from all processed foods. And you don’t need veggies. Just meat. When you get hungry, fill up on meat. Again, no alcohol. No bread. No starches. No rice. Meat only. You probably cannot afford to fast BUT you need to give your body good food. Real food. If you need ANY carbs, Drink some WHole milk. Then you get all 3 macros.
Good luck
I did a 132hr water fast (5 day fast, stopped eating Sunday at 8pm, broke it Saturday at 8am) lost 20lbs
I've gone 7 days it gets pretty easy after day 3. I was drinking distilled water only and walking 27 to 36 holes of golf everyday in the summer heat averaging 103 - 105 degrees and I felt great!
How much bone broth to consume 2x per day? 1 serving? 1 box?
@ThomasDeLauerOfficial You probably want to remove conflicting videos or update them
Hmmm. When I do prolonged fasting I do not really think about food. On the second fasting day I don't even perceive food as food, I can see it, I can touch it, I can cook it, but It doesn't make me crave or salivate, or even think about the fact that it's sth edible. It's pretty liberating in this sense. BUT I have the most intense dreams about food... 😅
Are you going to interview Gary?
To start you want to take it I steps. Eat you last bit of food at say 8pm then don't eat again till say 2pm then over time push it further and further back. I had got into such an easy routine of not eating until late afternoon or waiting until dinner, that when I decided to do a 36hr fast it was easy since it was just a sleep then I could eat. I fast 16hrs most week days, 36hrs Monday to Tuesday and weekends I eat normally. I will be doing the 72he fast in two weeks and then I'll work up to 86. Take it step by step, each one you will see results and feels better. You have to mix things up as the body gets used to things. I did the 16he fast for years and at some point I felt no benefits since it was just normal.
86hrs is intense! I’ve done 48 and that was tough. Love those yum yums 😋
my understanding is the first 48 to 72 hours is the hard part. I just finished my first 72 and my hunger never went away (but also wasnt any worse at 72 than it was at 16). I was hoping to reach the point of no hunger and heightened mental clarity in the 72 but didnt get there. I was just really tired. LOL. I did 60 hours last year and reaching the 60 hour mark was much easier this time.
I’m 75 and have just completed a 5-day 120 hour fast with absolutely no problem. Hardly any weight change - just water loss. I’m type 2 diabetic and eased into my usual mainly carnivore routine very very slowly. Not ‘dangerous’ at all.
I periodically fast. When I start getting up to 3 or 4 days, my blood pressure rises...my assumption is it's due to a rise in norepinephrine. After I eat, it comes back down to normal.
I don't fast often, but I build up to a longer fast gradually, and won't fast for longer than 120 hours, because I don't feel there's that much benefit to a longer fast. Also, I may dry fast for 24 hours to accelerate ketosis, and immediately drink enough water with electrolytes. If I believe what I read, HGH is increased by a factor of 5x and should offset loss of muscle mass by conserving your internal protein sources. I break a long fast with gelatin and/or bone broth, wait a few hours and have a small low glycemic index/load meal I feel I can digest without distressing my digestive system.
I found that locking the fridge by wrapping a bicycle lock around the handles and giving my wife the key made it MUCH easier to sleep through the night while fasting.
Hard-core lol. But what about those tater chips in the pantry? Lol
For cancer, it's better to fast than to have more intensive exercise due to more lactate production.
