I've done many fasts and a 40 day fast once. After about 3 or 4 days, hunger goes away and you, actually, start to have a lot of energy. At some point, you aren't hungry anymore, but realize how much time you spend buying, preparing, thinking about and eating food. It is almost more about those things than being hungry. Anyway, I highly recommend fasting...and praying!
@Conqueror's haki That never happened to me and I don't want to give you bad advice. I am not an expert, nor a doctor. If it were me, then i would strongly consider ending the fast. 17 days is a long time. Take care!
@@bittercoffee113 There will be a good chance you will have hair shedding that you will notice a month or so after the fast. The longer the fast the more likely this will happen. Hair is at the very bottom of the priority list for the body, so when protein and nutrients are low it can cause hair follicles to shut down and go to sleep. This isn't hair loss as when you return to eating those hair follicles will come back into the growing stage. Chronic and long term nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances cause hair loss. Bones will be broken down as well through autophagy, but this again will be quickly regenerated when you start eating and healing again. Fasting is amazing but doing it too much and not allowing the body to heal and recover can cause issues as your eating away at the body but not allowing it time to recover. Fasting is two parts, the actual fasting and then the eating and recovery aswell.
I’m currently on day 3/40 of my water fasting. I was diagnosed with leukemia 2 years ago, got cancer free for a year but now my blood tests are showing leukemia cells again. I’m praying that I will cure or at least help the cancer not to spread more. Please pray for me 😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😔 Edit: I ended my water fasting on a day 26/40. I didn’t mind at all the fast heartbeat which I think i had it because of dehydration, but I started being concerned when I had body chills. Literally on the day 25 I was feeling so cold. The benefits are beyond imagination though. I lost 25 pounds, I was taking 2 bp medications and now I take None. My skin looks so smooth like I am 10 years younger and my vision is so much better. Now I am eating one meal a day OMAD because I am scared that leukemia will come back. I am determined to do a 3 days water fasting once or twice a month until I am completely cancer free! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the prayers the support and love. I wish health, happiness and blessings to all of you guys! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️ God bless you all. Hello again today is September 15th, 2024. First of I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the wishes and advices. Second of all two days ago I had my last appointment with my Hematologist and my test came back negative, no cancer cells found 😭. I have done a 25 days water fasting a 21 days, and a 42 days since January of 2024. I have reverse my type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and from 228 pounds I’m 167 lbs so far. Fasting is a God send medication that heals every disease and is totally free. Sending a big hug to every each of you who prayed for me ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@williambunter3311 sometimes something comes along to help make the slightest shift in mindset which ends up being "life changing". That was it for me....I "CHOSE MY HARD" and it hasn't been "hard" since...
@@susanturnbull9773 Yes, I know fully what you mean, Susan. A single insight or phrase can move a mountain! I have cancer and severe breathing problems, and am morbidly obese. Recently I have started on a ketotonic diet and a dairy-free regime, to prepare for my surgery to have a kidney removed. It is hard to say 'no' to sugar and carbs, but, as you so rightly argue, it is harder to look in the mirror with self-loathing and feelings of guilt and regret for neglecting one's health over the years (I am 71). As for me, I believe firmly that seventy is, or can be, the new forty, so I don't feel old 'inside' at all, (and I'm still a whizz at mental arithmetic!) It's never too late. Also, I hope and believe that should I not get through the surgery I will go to be with my beautiful Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. So either way, I am a winner! God bless you.
@@lala4461 Could you do better? Some quotes are worth repeating, and if someone's life is enriched by them it doesn't matter to them whether or not the comment is original. We all of us, including you, repeat things which have helped, amused, or impressed us, and that is surely a good thing.To demand that everything we say must be 'original' is to make all previous wisdom redundant. As the great Isaac Newton once said: 'If I have seen further than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of the giants that have gone before me'. But just to please you, TINH, let me say something original - huh-hmm; 'The prepackaging of osmotic matter is due to the frenzied aroma of chick peas in a golden galleon'.

Nobody will understand the benefits of fasting until they fast... and then, boom, a new understanding of life and spirituality will unfold upon them and in front of them. God bless people like you 2. I've fasted for 25 days in a row many years ago. It was the best time of my life.
Hey! I plan to do this when my fridge becomes empty of last weeks grocery shop! My plan is to meditate and practise Qigong/yoga - and beyond! A big believer in Christ and know that He will be fasting with me during the time.
What about refeed I keep seeing different UA-cam doctors saying it can kill you and that’s the only thing holding me back and I keep telling myself Jesus fasted 40 days can I please get your opinion I live with lupus and I believe this is my answer
@@Deliveryonadimewithsheena I’m not a doctor or a Dietician. Just look on UA-cam the best ways to break your fast. Last time I soaked 10 prunes. The first night of breaking the fast I drunk the water, the next day I had 1 prune every 6 hours. I’m still alive to eat this. Although it is the most important part of fasting, because in my first fasting I had problem with a fatty liver.
This is my first 24hrs of fasting. I'm aiming for 30days to get rid of the high blood pressure, cholesterol and borderline diabetes. Not excluding the excess weigh. Please pray for me. I need a change in my eating behaviors
You can get rid of all that under 30 days. You'll see a difference in a week. The trick is; once you've fasted and continuously followed a eating schedule, you must maintain the lifestyle. Otherwise, the weight will come back, the pains will come back and the medication will come back.
Fasting is such a great body and mind reset tool. Love it. Will do it till I die. I feel great when fasting. Mind is widening and improving on a daily basis. The constant food injection is making the opposite. Making the body busy with processing that food, but the body and mind are dependent on the carbs every 3 to 4 hours. And then hunger. No more hunger while on fasting and keto.
at 144 hours right now. I feel fantastic. 5 mile bike ride each of last 3 days, no issues. I have PAD and when fasting the pain of exerting doesn't occur
I am on day 36 of my 40 day water fast. 44lbs lost so far. I remember watching this video before starting. I take a multivitamin, B complex, vitamin C, magnesium supplement, sea salt, and usually 2-3 liters of water every day. I’ll likely hit 50lbs lost by the conclusion of this, which is 4 days away as of writing this. I did this for more than weight loss. I woke one Sunday morning feeling depressed and sick of the direction my life was going. It was the morning after a night of bad eating and drinking. I was tired of being tired of being tired. I couldn’t stand looking at the person in the mirror, and I was tired of the toxic relationships I had with people who used you when they needed something, but were nowhere to be found when they were doing good. A fast as a hard reset on my life was the best thing I could have ever done to find clarity in my life.
@@andrewdiolosa3861 Oh yea. 70 hours per week. Plus flying up to 3-5 times per week as well. Tomorrow is day 40 for me, thankfully. Close to 50lbs lost.
Yes when I did a 7 day fast all the sudden everyone was so concerned and telling me it’s dangerous and I needed to eat and I didn’t need to lose weight. I wasn’t doing it to lose weight I was trying to benefit from cell repair as I was in absolute agony with back pain. People really made the situation worse so I wouldn’t tell anyone if I did it again and just avoid people altogether.
Facts! Most people who say this say it from a place of illiteracy and I usually tell them, listen you yourself have got this and this and this health problem, I think you should water fast with me you will benefit more than me. That normally shuts them up lol.
I agree. People get really, really weird about food, and depriving yourself. It's really a fascinating thing to see. Maybe because we're so hard-wired into eating for survival, people just do a knee-jerk reaction?
a work friend once told me that best way to stick to a diet is to not tell anyone you are on a diet. If they asked, she would lie and say she was just craving cucumber. It is much the same. Many will feel threatened by your choices.. like it is some kind of judgement on them.I have water fasted a few times and never told anyone.
Tony Phylactou you don’t have too because you didn’t live my life. I did salts in my water and I was very proud of myself. It takes a lot of willpower and hard work. I did it for 40 days because Jesus did. I been living this life style for awhile now and I personally love it. I had a really big cyst when I started and I am so proud to say my body dissolved it. Unbelievable healing powers with fasting, look into it and i would never ever go back to eating 3 meals a day ever again. God bless you on your Journey 😌
It hilarious that god tells us some things can only be done through fasting and prayer and here we are listening to scientists saying fasting is the only thing that can help certain conditions. God has been so good to us.
@@stupidmilkshake4887 YHWH who sent His Son Jesus Christ for your soul, to die in your place so that you can be saved and forgiven if you have faith and follow Him
Hi guys, quick update. I did it! I completed the fast on April 3rd at 3pm and I couldn't be more proud of myself for the achievement. During the fast I consumed absolutely nothing but bottled water. No supplements, no tea, no coffee. Nothing. I can't say if I'd recommend people do that as the prolonged experience of zero electrolytes is unpleasant as best. I intend to do another 30 day fast likely in May, this time with the addition of magnesium and potassium supps to experience the difference. Ultimately I lost exactly 53.7lbs, down from almost exactly 400 lbs and I feel fantastic. I've been on a little break so I can enjoy some of my favorite foods (in moderation of course) so starting Monday I'll go back to 1 meal a week for the rest of April untill I do another 30 in May.
I fasted no food just water and plain tea with lemon for 46 days and just recently broke it. I lost almost 50 pounds and my body completely reset itself, regenerated and restored from the inside out. I’d suddenly started dealing with blood pressure issues and other health problems which the doctor prescribed me medication for that I absolutely refused to take so I prayed about it and God led me on what I thought was a 21 day fast of no food just water but it was actually a 46 day fast instead. My body completely changed as if it was repaired to new. I’m currently on zero medications and my blood pressure previously 180/99 is currently 117/80 with a normal pulse and no other issues in my body, completely healthy, PRAISE GOD! I also have a lot of energy and I definitely sleep better now and longer. Once I broke it I had to start off eating very light because my stomach could only handle a very small portion of food. Of course I thought eating vegetables were ok but, NOT. I thought I was going to die after I ate little of them so I started throwing up nonstop which was the worst feeling and my stomach was turning flips amongst other things which I won’t mention and I almost passed out. FYI, after a long period of fasting a little bone broth would probably be better once it’s broken. Since breaking my fast about 2 weeks now I’ve only been eating one meal a day drinking just water with lemon and eating no junk foods, fast foods nor sweets. I eat organic everything, lots of vegetables, I cook all of my meals now because I know what going in them. I buy only organic grass fed meat which I still don’t eat a lot of (meat that is) My whole lifestyle of eating has completely changed without the slightest cravings for any of the mess I was addicted to eating before. I don’t even miss it. Fasting is definitely one of the greatest benefits to having a healthier body. Denying your body the thing it craves most is actually giving your body what it need most and that’s no food for an extended period of time. Be blessed on your journey to becoming a better and healthier you through fasting.
Congratulations buddy! Did you complete your fast? How are you doing now? I have just made a new comment on this video where you can follow along :) take a look!
Suggestion for your next fast and to others - the first few days can be the hardest so if you are three days in and feeling good I would suggest you keep going as it gets easier and the benefits of better health, no hunger, lots of energy, mental/brain improvements and not needing too much sleep and waking early and refreshed start to reveal themselves. Plus you have a lot of extra time! And keep a detailed diary of your experiences/feelings - that's very helpful. I'm on day four of my third fast as I type. I highly recommended fasting.
The radiance on Alan’s face is so inspiring. He looks like a man who has climbed up and over the hill, seen the flourishing valley awaiting our people and has run back down to share the good news.
My father waterfasted twice in his life, first when he was like 18 for 25 days and then when he was 55 for 19 days, healthiest man ever, he never gets sick, rarely has a cold, a headache or anything like that and it's always in a good mood. The weigh loss is great but fasting does so much more for you.
@@sofahitam_id2412 All people die, of course. But the way a lot of people go down is tough, painful, freedom limiting. And the reason for a lot of that is their body has a lifetime of junk in it and the internal garbage man ( autophagy ) works less and less, allowing things to pile up. Fasting clears out the toxins, bad cells, defunct pieces on a subcellular level ahead of time so that when the garbage man stops working, your issues won't pile up nearly as fast. I am 55 and have a 1 yr old grandson. I hope that in 15 years I can still be physically active to be a part of his life. That is my goal.
I admire your will power Raquel, I can barely make it 20 hours on a fast. I could probably learn a thing or two from you. I noticed you said you did a water fast, and that may be where I went wrong, because I wasn't drinking water. Does filling up with water suppress the hunger ?
I recently completed a 7 day fast drinking only water. I just can’t believe how I feel now. It’s amazing. I found it very easy to start as I was already on a time restricted eating regime eating only one or 2 meals a day within a 5 hour window. I didn’t feel hungry at all within the 7 days. I felt I could have continued for more than 7 days. Day 5 and 6 of the fast I felt I needed more sleep. My on going back lower back pain from spinal surgery a year ago was causing me real trouble. However on day 8 I woke up with no back pain and fabulous skin texture. No bags under my eyes. Not sure what has happened inside but I feel absolutely wonderful. I am 69 years old this August and feel more like I am back in my twenties again. Gail
@@ashmora8296 felt good and continue to feel good. I think it reset my whole body. I have an eating habit of only one meal per day but think I should go to two meals because I believe I am getting too thin. Gail
@@Voltornator as day 5 comes to an end I must say I was far less hungry today than the last 4 days. I wasn’t even thinking about food as much or anything. Since day 5 was a success i like to think I’ll keep it up!
@@InlineFlix How functional is your body for physical activities during the fasting. I understand therapeutic fasting. I also understand thriving and kicking ass in the standard productive sense.
That's funny Paul. I'm 64 and I've told my wife that when I was young I would forget to eat because it would get in the way of my playing. My mother asked a doctor who said , Madam don't worry, he wont die. Luckily I've never been heavy, makes a difference to your organs and your joints.
I’m an Inuit woman who’s parents died from alcoholism. It was an easy choice to not drink. I know that being an orphan triggered my fear of starvation. It’s a daily decision to eat my ancestors diet: fish, fat and whole real food. My reward in life: holding my grandchildren and teaching them how to feel JOY 💗 Life is wonderful!
It's a cheat sistem humans have, we fill our body with dopamine so our lives seems better when in fact it isn't, the best thing we can do to get a better life is making it better on a daily basis, numbing ourselves with bad food and habits is not the way to create a better life... most people will never live withouy their addiction because being sober on life is actually difficult. But being drunk in a housefire is a thousand times worse.
@ i did about 3 fast first was 1 day. second was 1 day and a half. 3rd fast was almost 8 days i felt weak almost as if i was going to pass out but definitely felt light and lost so much weight. I went from 224 to 202. In 8 days. Now im looking to day a dry fast as they say its more effective and much better in terms of how u feel.
@@thelowksta7126 wow! That’s really great. I barely feel any hunger because of some medications I take so it should be a little easier for me to do. Usually I can go 2-3 days with no food without a problem but I’ll try 7 days next.
@@user97745 yea it was real difficult but i think that maybe a dry fast might be much easier because i guess they say in a dry fast u want water every single time u can get it. Sometimes u can over drink water. And supposedly also in a dry fast 1 day of dry fasting is equivalent to 2-3 days of dry fasting. And is much harder on repairing the body meaning it attacks everything 3x times more than a water fast
I did a 30 water fast Sept.2019, which kicked off my health journey. I've lost about ~90 lbs since then. I was vegan when I started but a very unhealthy processed vegan. I have maintained the weight loss with plant based vegan OMAD and working out daily. My health is awesome! I'm currently on day 10 of a water fast as it was time of the year for another reset and wanted to shed last few lbs off. Crazy when I'm fasting all I do is watch fasting vids and documentaries...lol
@Queen Ma’at NegonYah -I’m on day 5, and I’m doing the same thing lol. Binging on fasting vids. Curious specifically how you re-introduced foods. Also, sorry to ask, but did you have a large bowel movement around day 14? Finally, did u use salt or electrolytes? 3 questions hahaa thanks so much!!
I'm 150 kg down to 119kg so far I've been doing 1 meal a day and 3 day water fasts every few weeks . Just completed a 3 day dry fast yesterday. Loving life again
Impressive! The body needs water but the mind does more, things can go awry quickly. Personally not a dry fast fan.. maybe 24 hrs max if that way inclined.
Fuckin A. I fasted for keto, felt so clear and energetic it was unreal -right before qualifying for the Boston Marathon. Shaved 20 minutes off my time. Mentally felt better than any other time in my life.
Fasting and praying are the only way I’ve been able to get rid of certain personality traits and bad habits. With god everything is possible. Thank you Yeshua.
@Lindsay Colon There actually is one study that shows an effect of praying for people in hospital. If those people are unaware they are being prayed for the effect is zero. If they are aware the effect is negative (this must be serious psychological effect)
Why would anyone require a crutch in order to live a healthy lifestyle. No god will help you get over your unhealthy lifestyle, basically bc god doesn’t exist.
@@mohamedyagoub314 Well I take it back. I think it's the second hardest thing. When I woke up on day 11 my gout was flaring up. The only other time this happened is when I did a 10 day fast last year. I really wanted to go for a month, but because of this I probably won't ever do more than a week again. I wish you the best of luck with your fasting though!
Best I've done is a 10 day water only fast, I'm excited next time to go for 14, then 20, then 30 one day. But at Day 10, I felt like a million bucks and didn't want to stop fasting but my parents were freaking out that I hadn't eaten so I basically stopped for them. But having them watch me the whole time definitely changed their perspective on fasting and they worry less and less when they see that my anxiety goes down, depression goes down, energy goes up, mental clarity and health goes up, etc.
@@jamesclark6487 Oh yes, they did. My parents were surprised by my energy levels and how I felt and looked. In fact, when I finished the fast, they were telling all their friends about it.
I’m on day 27 of my 40 day water fast. I have kidney failure and it’s not recommended for kidney failure patients to fast. 60 days ago I decided to eat a raw vegan diet and 27 days ago decided to start a water fast. Haven’t been to dialysis once. Sometimes trusting yourself and knowing your body is best. I meditated on the idea that my kidneys work perfectly every day. Thankful for an opportunity to heal myself. I encourage any kidney failure patient to try along with consulting a doctor. What I did wasn’t necessarily safe to be honest. Was just so sick of dialysis.
wow respect, do you just water fast? Or do you use some minerals ? Like sodium (or salt) etc? How is your breath? Did you feel alcohol like breath? Or feeleing in your mouth? It is something like acidic ? When I did 21 days fast I had this symptomes. I felt extremely tired all the time, I think is it maybe because I did not take salt?? Whats your energy level? How about your energy in muscles, are they "heavy" or "tired" ? Thanks for possible answer and hope it will help you, last question what will be you first meal?
@Brett M yea you are right, I can confirm from my own experience, In 21 days I drink just water, but It was hard.... tired all the time, heavy muscles, problem with sleep etc etc... When I did 6 days fast but with salt I had same level of energy maybe even more, sleep was better (not perfect but when I compare It was better) not heavy muscles and pretty ok energy I could even do litle exercise like yoga... so yes definitely there should be some information about electrolytes in 10+ days fasting, you are basically dehydrated because of osmosis... your body sucks at retaining sodium when you dont have insulin spikes, When I am on keto diet I can take 2-3 times more salt than before and I am completely fine, I dont know about potassium and from where could I get in on fast like sodium (which is from salt) Yea I know that there is potassium chloride just like sodium chloride but when you think about our ancestors could they supplement potasium chloride ?? I think not so our body must have some evolutionary mechanism how to retain potassium better when we fast and another fact is that potassium Is most abundant mineral in our cells sodium is outside of cells so we do not need so much because we do not lose it so much like sodium (sweat, urine etc)
I fasted for 21 days back in September. Went to Chipotle to pick up some food for my husband and the cashier said “Wow, you have really good skin.” That was a HUGE confirmation to the after glow people talk about after a prolonged fast.
@@benekbailey7135 Yes! It would be great to fast with someone as experienced as you! Cn we keep in touch via email? Or any other way is good too. I will message you on the last day on January. Thanks Benek Bailey, I look forward to it!

All of the testimonies on here have been so encouraging and inspiring. Wishing everyone much success in taking back their health and making radical changes to do different!!
Wow great to see you here! It is my second day today and I am planning to fast for 60 days, I even made a calendar 😂 I wish you luck and I hope you achieve your goals whether it is weight loss or getting healthier or improve your relationship with food
Me too I used fasting to get from 240 with a big gut to 170 with ABS, I put on 30lbs to do 21 day fast, Come to my channel and take a look feel free to ask me any questions you have about fasting, daily updates
Yes, because the truth he speaks is being buried by big medicine, big pharma, food industry, and big tech, ultimately the men at the top. This is the type of truth that could change the world if people were exposed to it by the places that claim to help you!
Probably because he doesn’t actually fast and isn’t dumb enough to try that shit. His eyes are lighting up with the money he makes from selling this mythical bullshit.
@@harrisonfiore7090 Yes. Years ago when I sort of fell into the rabbit hole of this type of pseudoscience. Sure some of it has legit research and data to back it up, but not everyone is the same- also people’s metabolism and such can change quite significantly depending on all sorts of factors. PubMed and Google scholar are good to look up the most up to date studies and such.
Dr. Goldhamer is the best in his field. I went to his clinic after being bedridden for 2 years in my late 20"s. His clinic changed my life and turned my health around! I stayed at his clinic for 25 days. Better than any vacation! God bless you Dr. Goldhamer.
Guys -- if you do a long fast remember to eat very little the day after you end it. Eat almost nothing And scale it up slowly or you will end up in hospital. This is very important.
Thank you. No one's talking about this very important point. I heard if a pastor's wife who died after a 40 day fast from eating a big meal immediately after the fast ended...
I fasted 21 days and coming off the fast could barely eat before being very full. Also, goes very, very fast through the system for at least a week. It is hard to see how anyone could end up eating too much after a long fast.
This isn't true. If our ancestors went hungry for weeks and then suddenly managed to get food are you telling me that they thought 'oh I had better eat this food slowly over many days otherwise I might die'. No, they would eat as much as they could until they were stuffed and before it rotted or something else ate it first. I never believed it was dangerous to eat normally after a fast so I tried it myself after a 2 week water fast. I ate as much of whatever I was craving until I was stuffed and it the most delicious thing ever. The worst thing that happened was that I urgently needed a massive crap an hour later. Interestingly I couldn't eat anywhere near as much as I had intended to either because my stomach had shrunk.
@@SIBUK Ahh.. an armchair expert. Our ancestors did not "go hungry for weeks". But if you don't believe me, try it out yourself. Write from hospital telling us I was correct. Hope you live to tell us.
VERY MUCH SO!!!!!!!! BEEN THERE, DONE THAT! WAS FORCED TO EAT 3X A DAY, and it ALMOST KILLED ME! I BLEW UP, GOT ALL INFLSMED, AND FELT I WAS GOING TO BURST! It was the WORST CONSTIPATION EVER! A very stupid spiritual father al.ost killed me with that, and I badically just ate soup to obey him! But it was just WAY TOO MUCH AFTER A 6 WEEK FAST (WEEKDAYS)! GOOD ADVICE. OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE! xo~A
I have only ever made it 5 days of water fasting although I strive for more. The personal benefits: 1) I enjoy raw vegetables again, because it retrains your taste buds 2) I have more portion control power and increased ability to avoid processed addictive foods 3) weight loss 4) clear skin 5) cured of excema over time of doing this 6) clarity of thought 7) more productive 8) increased sex drive The bible talks about fasting and that's how I started.
The Bible is the infallible word of God. People who read and apply it will know that Fasting helps believers get closer to God. Give up the flesh and the Spirit is renewed, along with the body. Thank you Jesus 🙏
5 days is pretty solid. 4 is my max. But I usually do a couple days a month -- almost 4 months total water fasting over 5 yrs. Goal is to clear out cellular/subcellular junk before autophagy drops off after 65 yrs old.
I’m 61 and started water fasting when I was in my mid 20’s. I somehow got away from water fasting and now today I’m very challenged with chronic pain , anxiety , insomnia, gut problems-SIBO , diverticulosis and hormonal imbalances. I’ve actually been thinking of water fasting as I’ve exhausted all my other options without success. Low and behold this talk shows up on my feed! Wow 😮 I’m starting water fasting 🙏
@@aroTheKidd hello , I’m just now learning about dry fasting . When I first saw your suggestion, it sorta freaked me out but I started looking into it and so I started dry fasting this evening. I’m going to see how I do for the next 16 -18 hours without water. Lucky for me 6-8 hours is spent overnight tonight as I sleep. But I’m a big water drinker and it’s the first thing I drink is 16 ounces of water when I get up and another 30 ounces before 10 am so this will be interesting. And it’s August -HOT!! 😳 But I want to see how i do. Thanks so much for planting that seed in my head and setting this in motion for me. 😎
This is very encouraging. I quit alcohol 2 years ago and it changed my life. Now I have to do the same with food. I want to start out with a water fast. Im 65 and want the rest of my life to be meaningful and , let's face it, enjoyable.
Jesus Christ is returning soon. Repent (turn around from your ungodly ways) and believe the Gospel. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
The body needs a constant supply of protein to live and protect all the bodies organs and their function ect... id suggest actual legitimate diet change and learning about how protein work to find a better source of such foods. Fasting is a terrible money making myth. Blood work and actual data is truly a much better idea if ones really wishing to have concrete and factual based information for what’s going on in ones body concerning diet.
Fantastic for your sobriety Susan! Your goals with food and fasting are spot on. I hope you’re doing well with it. I’m 62. Abused alcohol and drugs starting at 13. I started fasting at 15. Read Paul Braggs book and I was sold. But I continued abusing. I now have cirrhosis. I’ve been substance free for 2 years. I was 12 hours from death in 2019. Eating clean and fasting makes a huge difference in everything. At my heaviest I was 264. Now I hover around 145. Joy and elation hang out with me every day. I’m really happy to hear your story. You are a warrior too!
Classic information!!! The bibles talks about fasting and that s no coincidence- God knows best!!! After all, he designed us ! If you put diesel in a petrel engine...
I love how his eyes light up when he talks about how his own doctors have accomplished opening their own fasting clinics. Signs of a true friend. Love fasting, live by it, experienced so many benefits and have accomplished suppressing many autoimmune diseases from it. Highly recommend anyone looking to complete one, seek advice from a fasting clinic or your local doctor always before proceeding
I’m in fasting right now and today is my 23rd day. Not gonna lie, breaking my fasting comes to my mind a dozen times now cause there a times that i crave so much about certain foods. Now watching this video puts me back and adds encouragement to reach that 40days goal. And by the way, i already lost 10kgs.
You were sugar dependent when you started. Sugar comes from refined sugar products and carbs. Better plan .. Break sugar dependence but doing smaller fasts and working up.
@@Kitiwake Yes, that’s what my doctor told me, and warned me that in less than a year i will be diabetic if i will not change my eating habit. And surprisingly enough, when I told her that I’m planning to do 40 days fasting, she said that it’s better than any prescription she could give.
My wife was diagnosed with T2D one month ago to the day. Immediately we both went on zero sugar, zero simple carbs and high cruciferous veggies. As well as intermittent fasting 18:6. Her blood sugars were around 300, now cruising around 90-120 with levels going down after eating. Her insulin resistance is disappearing! We're dropping weight, no aches and pains, breathing better, tons of energy and insane mental clarity only a month in. Love this new medical insight...a wave is coming!
Congratulation, Dustin! Best wishes to both of you. If diet causes a disease, a change of diet will alter the progression. You and your wife are smart!!!
@@GOATLAVISH777 great, thanks for asking. A1C is 5.2 and feeling amazing, not to mention looking amazing too. One of the best things is her cycles used to be incredibly painful, now she can barely tell.
I’ve previously done a 30day fast, and now I’m 8 days into 40- in the last week of my 30 days I was so absolutely at peace & at such peak mental clarity I thought I was dead lol- after living with depression for years previous, being so free and purely happy seemed almost alien, I’m so grateful to have found it & wish the same for everyone :)
@@asdf1991asdf Proud of your commitment to your fasts either way! ☺️ I really didn’t get to that kind of “enlightenment” feeling until my last week of fasting but I eased into eating afterwards starting with light soups etc. I found that the excess sugar in my diet really fuelled my depressed feelings (not being the cause of them, but sugar certainly did not benefit my symptoms) Anyway, I hope you find a routine that works for you soon, all the best & thanks again :)
I love this. I'm 32 Yr old male and suffered with depression for as long as I can remember. I have only just started a 5 day fast today so I'm ready for the benefits. I suffer with agoraphobia too which was caused I'm sure by the depression and anxiety. I was a plasterer but lost it all. Time to restart my life. Good luck I'm really happy for you.
@@stuffedturkey12 Thank you so much & I wish you all the best with fasting! thats the beautiful thing really, it acts a fresh start (both physically & mentally). The feeling of renewing yourself in that way is something I’d wish for everyone! Haha if only food wasn’t so damn good lol
@@xoshanland Thanks for sharing your fasting experience. You are an impressive woman to do these long fasts. I wish I had your will power, because I can make it about 20 hours on a fast. As for your depression, have you ever had your methylmalonic acid tested? This will show your B12 at the tissue level. A regular B12 blood test won't show the tissue level, you need the methylmalonic acid test, and if it's elevated, it will mean you have a low B12 in the tissue. When the B12 gets low at the tissue, it causes the M acid to get high, which blocks enzymes that convert ammonia to urea. When the ammonia gets high, it causes depression and other problems. I researched this years ago when my brother became depressed and it was a low B12 causing it. A low D3 can also cause depression. Anyway, that fasting is definitely working for you because you look great and are a very pretty woman.
@@Okie343 That is for sure something I will look into! Investing in my health & what makes me feel good has been my hobby (for the better) during this pandemic & I most certainly worked for a long time to be able to do such fasts but I love how there is always benefits no matter the length (your 20hrs is still 20 hours!!!) Thank you for that information though, you are a great brother to have done that research to help out a sibling ☺️
I'll start tomorrow I just broke my fast I fasted for 3 days as a trial and I'll start tomorrow my goal is to fast for two weeks Do you know how old he really is?
@@FM-nk1zh I fasted for five days, but I broke the fast because of my final exams. I could not focus while I was asleep. I lost 4 kilograms. It was not about weight. All I wanted was acne-free skin. It worked. The effect of love and pigmentation has disappeared. I stopped eating carbohydrates and starches. And sugars and that's the best thing I've done in my life
As an 80 yr old retired physician I rue the meds prescribed over the years. I’ve now adopted the lifestyle now that you recommend and see the tremendous benefits. Am grateful, and running my horse hobby farm in good health.

When I decided to do a 40 day water fast, I had recently been diagnosed with mild arthritis on my left shoulder. Even though it was 'mild' the pain was unbearable. On top of that, I was 25 kg overweight so I had plenty of fat stores. I was 47 year old then and after the 40 days of water fasting I felt like a 20 year old and my skin looked amazing! AND the arthritis went away and hasn't come back. I drank only tap water with a pinch of Himalayan salt, I also drank sugar free electrolyte drinks, a vitamin supplement, iron (I had low iron) taken with water and lemon (to increase its absorption) and every night I used pure magnesium oil on my legs.I was working while on the fast so the last two weeks of fasting were a little taxing as I was feeling lethargic but my mental clarity remained despite the tiredness. I also noticed some muscle mass loss but I at least I felt that I had a 'blank' canvas to work with after the fast meaning I would be able to goto the gym and build muscle on a body that had much less fat stores than when I started the fast. I'm not telling you to fast for 40 days because I am not a medical practitioner but I can say that it worked for me. Also, if you are a spiritual person, it benefits you tremendously. After the fast, it is important that you break the fast the proper way and then do a lifestyle change to maintain the benefits you obtained on the fast. Having a healthy diet, exercising and building muscle mass is paramount to having a functional and quality of life particularly if you want to age well and be able to do the things you enjoy. If you go back to your old habits, unfortunately you will again suffer the same ailments that you had before, so it needs to be a conscious decision to do a complete overhaul of your lifestyle.
Did the vitamin supplement upset your stomach at all? I want to do a longer fast and want to make sure I take enough supplements but I’m afraid I might feel queasy taking vitamins. :)
Dr. Goldhamer is a genius. I had the pleasure of recently attending the True North Health Centre and hearing him speak in person. I completed a 14 day water only fast, followed by a whole plant food diet free of added salt, oil and sugar, and it has been life changing. I’m so grateful to him. He’s passionate committed, and hilarious at the same time!
I also believe Dr. Goldhamer is a genius. He is passionate about his work and sticks to his principles. Would love to have him check St. Margaret Hospital in Hammond, Indiana where they closed it and may tear it down. Over 500, 000 population in county and close to Chicago. GOD BLESS DR. ALAN GOLDHAMER.
@@katharden5806- no oil is allowed- or needed. When you eat whole food plant based you get all the needed fatty acids your body requires. All oils are highly refined, fractionated foods- even olive oil.
What a perfect interview. Neither one of them interrupt each other, they both know what they're talking about and they both seem like totally super nice dudes that really want to help people. I loved this podcast .... and I learned a lot!
@@ellanola6284 but I AM doing the keto and fasting - two weeks now, and the tummy rumbling is soo loud, lol. Also, I can not fall asleep at night if hungry so I eat late, then fast all day while at work. People stare at me !!!
@@AMonikaD My advice is to cut out wheat stuff entirely. But if you must eat it, eat it before noon. Another thing you should have noticed is that if you swill down some good oil like avocado or olive, you wont be hungry. Try doing that at bedtime instead, It has HUGE health benefits. FI, on the days, twice a week, when i take my tablespoon of cod liver oil at dawn, i can go til noon and never feel hungry. Oils make you lose weight, not gain weight. One of the worse things in the western diet is wheat.
I’ve fasted at True North twice. I have so much respect for Dr. Goldhammer. Lifestyle and fasting are so empowering, I recommend this with all of my heart.
@@Tonyflowrowdy According to their website, the daily rate ranges from $199 to $599, depending on the type of room you choose and the number of people in your group. So its not even something I'd be able to consider.
I’ve read a lot of the comments on here and I think it’s right I share my experience I am embarking on now. I’ve completed a couple 1,2,3 even 4 day fasts. I am experiencing knee complications from an injury and want to help heal my body. I have had this on my mind since it happened. Reading these comments has helped revive my spirits on this first night. Thank you! I want to share with you all Hebrew 12:11 “ No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however it produces a harvest Of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it” 🧡
Beautiful scripture thank you for that it's really inspired me. Today I went 23hour fasting and 1 hour of eating only one meal tomorrow I will begin my water only fast until Christmas Eve
Have you checked out Dr. Pradip Jarmandas here on UA-cam? He's a cardiologist who advocates for fasting, and ALL the benefits!! I love him. He has a two hour lecture on food addiction, and we watched the whole two hours, completely fascinated and hooked!!
My brother did a 40 day water fast & lost 55 lbs. People just have no idea how little food you actually need to live. He was in good shape when he finished it too
this is so true. we really don’t need much! especially overweight people, we have so much stored fats and nutrients that we can survive extreme lengths without food!
Start slowly please. A long fast is like a marathon. You should at least jog around the block a few times. Start with a 16 hour fast one week then next week 20 hours.....till you can do a 3 day fast. Consider finding a binder for toxins too. Diatomaceous earth, charcoal, bentonite clay. To remove toxins safely.
@Tafari I And the non religious people you refer to fasted because fasting tradition has been passed on by religions, as has much that has benefited modern mankind. It's sad that many people today have little insight into the heritage of civilization and the central role religion played in that. As for the flesh being the same, you don't know what you are talking about. Moses and Jesus fasted completely from water and food for 40 days and nights. If you think that is achievable by others, go and try. But write a will first.
@Tafari I Where's your evidence non religious people existed throughout history? You won't find any, because non religious communities did not thrive, nor learn languages and writing and making of books. Why do you think Homosapien Neanderthals buried their dead 75,000 years ago? Why do you think Australian Aboriginals cremated their dead 40,000 years ago? Why do you think later Neanderthals were buried with utilitarian relics? Why do you think the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge were built? Without exception, every significant enduring community of humans had religious beliefs and customs. American Indians, Indian Indians, Indonesians, Tribes in the Amazon, early Koreans.....wherever you go, enduring communities have believed in supernatural God or Gods, and have passed on their cultural wisdom through religious ceremony and custom....which includes fasting. It is testament to the subversive influence of atheistic forces today, that people such as yourself are so patently ignorant about history. You must be very young, and very naive. Show me your evidence anyone on the internet, who says they fasted from all food and fluid for 40 days, is telling the truth. Go tell your doctor you intend to do this, and I bet he gets you certified mentally ill.
Came off my 40 Day Water-fast and it went ok. I lost a total of 22kg or just over 48lbs and it sorted my pre-diabetes. I will only stick to a 100% Vegan Diet (Whole Plant Based). Thank you Dr. Goldhamer - You inspired me.
@@Star-Bright Hi Star - ONLY WATER! Three liters a day. Toward the end of my fast I took some rehydrate rehydration fluids (only use those from a pharmacy). One must also be mindful that levels of uric acid may increase. A good mineral alkaline powder that contains calcium, magnesium, Phosphoros, and potassium is suggested to provide some alkalinity while providing some lost minerals and to prevent Gout attacks. Hope this helps ;) (take a rehydration supplement if you feel dizzy, or very dry skin, dry mouth etc. Monitor hydration at all times!)
I have been water fasting for years. I love it. I feel amazing and my body is so happy to not be trying to rid itself of poison every day. I am currently on day 21 of a 90 day fast. Down 23lbs. And very motivated to keep going. Fasting brings me closer to God which I also love. I came to this video for inspiration and i am excited to see all of the people in the comments realizing the benefits of fasting.
That is amazing! I remember attending a fasting conference in bible college 15-years back. Many students took part in fasting and praying that week. I've never been able to fast due to the intense pain and headaches that accompany with fasting after 24-hours. This is probably due to eating so much junk and caffeine over the years. Just wanted to add, I can do the 16:8 method that some call a type of fasting.
@@paullynch1938 I would talk to your doctor. With that, there has been stories, papers, and videos with people stating that fasting reduced their need for medication or even the need for any medication. There has been reports of the body healing itself with fasting. Remember to prepare, study, and start with small fasts. I typically fast 18/6 every day - that is 18 hours of fasting and 6 hours of eating. Doing this without changing what I eat has caused me to lose about 20 pounds in two months. I am not changing how much I eat and slowly reducing my sugar intake.
I'm at 43 days right now and I feel great. I have tons of energy. I sleep great and my skin looks smoother. I started developing high blood pressure as I got older and now my pressure is normal. Went and had a complete work up on everything. Doctor said there was nothing wrong with me and said I was in perfect shape.
Please give me advice on how to do this. What do I drink, how much, what supplements, refeeding, how not to die, if I can't keep water down cause I wanna vomit how do I overcome... So many questions
@@axg93 Drink three litres a day. One cup at a time. It can be straight water or so many litres of tea. I like green tea/ herbal tea. One cup has Himalayan pink salt and potassium chloride added. Try a 24 hour one. Eat your evening meal at 5:30 pm. In the morning just start drinking and at say 6:00 pm that evening have a nice meal. In a few weeks try a 36 h. I am on my 5th fast in 9 months. Last time three months ago I did 93 hours. I'm 70 in now and will be going to 120 hours this time. I went swimming today will walk tomorrow for a couple of hours. Take your time and enjoy the experience. You won't die lol 😉
I started my journey 48 hours ago . And I feel great than ever . I feel powerful . I have depression but making this challenging myself in some way made me happy .
This guy has been so far ahead of the curve it's mind blowing. If only a tenth of the worlds doctors had his enthusiasm and knowledge. Apart from the the fact that he isn't a secret salesman you can just see in his yes he wants to make people better, what a star.
Doctors aren't trained to have ideas. They're trained to recognize a problem and treat it with what they've learned. The people who wrote the books they learn from did so without regard for long-term consequences. Many are based on pills/substances being the "cure" even if it has wild side effects. As long as it helps cure 'some' people, it's the given treatment. Drugs get phased out constantly for 'the new best thing' Which is almost guaranteed to be another side effect ridden substitute.
Last month I started alternate day fasting for 40 hours, every monday, wednesday and friday. It has changed my appetite for the better. I stop eating on Sunday around 6 pm and only have water and tea until Tuesday around 10. I wa on vacation last week and did one meal a day, didn't think my companions would understand not eating so I said nothing and only had dinner most days. As soon as I got back I weighed myself and only gained a pound! My metabolism is changing. I just completed a 48 hour fast and think I'll go longer once a season. I'm seeing great benefits and my body shape is changing. I don't need to lose weight, I'm doing this for longevity and health. Fascinating, wish I had found it years ago. I'm 67 and had surgery for a rare Chondrosarcoma almost 3 years ago and am determined to be as healthy as I can.
Day 6 - lost 17LBS. Was planning to last at least a day or two. Taking a day at a time but hoping to last at least two weeks. Started at 375- now slowly coming down. Not feeling hungry- i guess i have plenty of storage to take from ;-) Stay strong whoever is fasting now!!
I completed a 5 day water fast and I felt amazing. I messed up by binging on the weekend :( but, I'm not going to let it discourage me. I am starting over again today. Wish me luck!
Dont get discouraged. Try eating whole foods plant based soon after fasting. I love my 4 to 5 days. Wanna go a week next. Lately I do an OMAD. I feel great.
Did a 7 day fast a few weeks ago. I was on 3 blood pressure medications and Metformin for diabetes. Even on 3 BP medications I was living with 145/95+ on a daily basis. After 4 days I was 115/70. I’ve maintained a normal BP for over 2 weeks. In addition to this, my blood glucose levels are normal (80-100). Typically my glucose levels were 125-145. After my 7 day fast I’ve maintained one meal per day. I’m down 28 pounds, from 255 pounds to 227. Fasting works!!
I fast 24 to 36 hours two times every week for 7 weeks and even that gave me so much energy. On my fasting days I am very motivated to move my body and my mind is so clear! I'm feeling like a new woman now! I lost a lot of my overweight and would really recommend to try it.
Ive lost 112lbs so far in 7 months doing 5 day fasting. 5 days of nothing but water eat for 2 days, water fast for 5 days eat for 2. I dont care what anyone tells me i am not giving up meat. When i eat i usually eat grass fed beef, or salads and fruits. I started at 462lbs, and i am currently 350lbs. Shooting to be between 260-280lbs
As far as the diet goes avoiding bad foods like sugar and seed oils is the key to health. However you will ultimately be deficient and frail on a long term vegan diet though it is fine for short term.
@@LTPottenger Yeah I mainly stick to Whole Foods. Ali junk food wake here and there but I really don't even like the taste of it anymore. I'm a big wrap person so I eat a lot of wraps with grilled chicken and all my veggies. I use high fiber and protein wraps to limit processed carbs
Great, well done! thats my diet plan 12:12 for the rest of my life to maintain WL, once I've reached my goal of 40-45kg, currently at 68kg. Im doing a 49 day water fast. 23-28kg to go🥳
I was struggling with my weight when I was younger so I made up my mind that I would begin fasting..i started in June and by Xmas had lost 72 pounds...i was able to keep it off for the rest of the following years by using this same method. It made me feel very spiritual as the time passed n my body purified. Most people did not even know who I was because I changed so much. At the time I was 26 years old....Im now 65..
@@goodnatured3925 Shoot if maintained properly it can go quite a while. One guy while being monitered went 353 days and felt like he could do more but felt his body was telling him to stop
Just a few months ago I had this strange pain and lump that started in my right breast. My right breast seemed to be swelling 😢. I decided to start my 30 days fast specifically 22hour fast with a small keto diet, enough hydration and no sugars for breaking the fast❤ Am currently on my 7th day and to my greatest surprise the lump and pain are no more 😮!!!. My breast is swelling no more😮 I confirmed with a breast scan and physical with a doctor and everything is very normal!!. I feel so good and get good sleep too❤
22 hr fast with a low carb diet is quite easy to do. With so much benefit, there's no reason to stop. I'd advise light exercise to preserve muscle mass. Otherwise, the muscles may be tapped for energy... if not used.
I am a young British guy, only 22, and just 13 minutes into this video I can say with confidence that Dr. Alan Goldhamer is the most intelligent person I've ever heard speaking in my entire life. Absolutely fascinating.
I was about to hit 300 pounds when my depression got really bad. I started to fast and dropped 95 pounds and was able to keep it off until the beginning of covid. I gained back 20 pounds due to boredom and overeating which was on my part but even then I was still able to maintain my weight. I’m gonna start another fast for the month to get back to my last goal weight. But honestly this has helped so much. And one of the only things I was able to stick to.
@@karmiettaIRL start with water fasts and drink electrolytes like Himalayan salt for sodium and potassium not more than one tb on your water Jason fung recommend 1 week to 2 week fast then break Your fast slowly with bone broth eggs or vegetables juices till your body gets used to eating back again you can lose 5 pounds of fat a week or more depending on your weight
Just finished a life changing 30 day water only fast at TrueNorth Health Center. I couldn’t recommend it more!!!! And all because of this episode - thank you Rich.
@@mponcardas94 When I arrived I was in bad shape : pre-diabetic, high blood pressure, taking a statin med for high cholesterol, seriously overweight (330lbs) and sleep apnea. After the 30 day water fast my blood sugar and blood pressure dropped to normal healthy levels and I was able to get off my satin medication because my cholesterol had improved so much. Also I lost 65 lbs! I did gain 3 lbs back during the ‘re-feed’ which is normal. I still have sleep apnea but I am sleeping much better with so much weight off and the lower back pain that had made it hard for me to sleep went away completely. I should add that I ate a standard American diet before my TrueNorth experience and now am vegan. I am returning for another 30 day fast this summer!
@@eyeswideopen8629 thanks for sharing! Are you willing to share the cost of this experience/guided fasting service? I am considering going this spring.
I did a 33 day fast and believe me it's more of a spiritual ordeal. Your senses become heightened as if you were taking an hallucigen. I have respect for those who say they've done 90 days because I can't imagine how deep that must feel.
@@johntitorii6676 I found the return back to food unexpected. Foolishly I tried soup which felt like it burnt my insides so I quickly stopped. You can feel the journey food takes throughout you so I'd recommend going juice, smoothie and fruit route upon returning.
Of course it feels that way. That's why people do it for spiritual experiences. Some will think it's God talking to them when it's just their own brains.
I’m on day 34 of 40 day water fasting for religious purposes. It was hard especially around day 25-30 and nearly gave in but through prayer I managed to soldier on. I was not weighing myself but can see positive results. No pains in my joints. Am an emotional eater and hoping to develop a healthy relationship with food and I believe fasting would help. Planning to follow up with intermittent fasting and then after introduce water fasting for 3 days in a month.
40 days is nothing. Theres a guy that did 383 days. He was monitored by doctors and given a vitamin mineral solution . That being said the most I've done is 24 hours. I am starting to fast this week. 4 to 6 hour window of eating. One large meal and one smaller. This is day 5, I haven't eaten for 10 hours and am going insane. Seriously I don't know how you've done it 34 days. Well done mister. Just make sure you don't starve to death.
Stefanos Prokopis What a way to motivate a sister my brother? Starting by saying 40 days is nothing? But I guess you were just trying to drive a point home. Seriously it was a big and scary thing to do. Having to do this all by myself without any medical supervision. Most people can’t do that it, so I won’t compare myself to anyone but me. I thank God for bringing me this far and will finish stronger. Don’t worry I won’t starve to death.
@@nanasekati8185 sorry I didn't mean to Demotivate you. You're right you shoudnt compare yourself to others. Because I was insensitive to you i am going to fast for another 12 hours on top of the 19 hours I set myself. Good luck to you and I hope you improve your health.
40 days in nothing but the longest you’ve ever done is 1 day? Just because one person fasted that long doesn’t mean that 40 days is nothing. She’s not getting minerals or being supervised by a doctor. And most people don’t make it 40 days. I think 40 days is pretty amazing!!! Great job!!! I did 5 days this week and had a refresh day. Going right back in and trying for 14 days. Good to know to keep an eye out on days 25-30 because eventually I hope to strive for 40 days! I’m impresses with your 40 days!

My father died when he was 59 before suffering from diabetes and high cholesterol for about 9 years...I could not help him because I did not know about fasting at that time.

I learn something valuable from each and every video I look at!
I am on day 2 of water only fasting. I have fasted before but never for emotional healing. I have been feeling anxiety, sadness and addiction to certain foods and I keep getting the nudge to fast and I am excited to feel the results.

I'm on day 1 of my 21-day fast. I recently had these small bumps coming over my body after my period for the past 4 months. At first, I thought it was a heat bump, but I started to discover the pattern. The heat bump comes after five days of my period. It won't go away for about two weeks, and it is very painful. I started to google and found it to be an autoimmune condition called HS. Luckily, my one is not so severe, but it leaves behind scars. So far, I have had it around my armpits and my buttocks. I was completely shattered when I read that it was uncurable. The same day, I found a video about fasting, and some of them posted that they had recovered from autoimmune disease by fasting. Please pray for my recovery, guys ❤.
@deadbutdreaming Hi. What was wrong with your kidneys in the 1st place? Im asking cause I eat a mainly pkant based diet and I do once in a while a 4 days waterfast. Im 41 and was diagnosed with no symptoms at the age of 21 with hydronephrosis on left kidney.
The thing that interests me the most: with or without supplements? How frequently do they check your sodium levels, and stuff? I usually fast with electrolytes (up to 7 days), so I find it amazing that people do it up to 40 days, without...
Aside from the addiction piece, we've also been conditioned to assume that if we are not feeling well, we need to consume something else. We've been told every solution is additive. Many solutions involve not doing something - but no one gets rich when we do less.
I’m officially 4 days into my fast. I thought that this would be the toughest task of my life, but it has been the complete opposite. My craving for food went out of the window after the second day. I thought that I would experience weakness, but I’ve actually gained strength that I didn’t know I possessed. I’ve also lost 9 pounds! This experience has been nothing short of amazing!
@Clark Kent thank you. I had to stay busy. Sleeping was also the next best thing. You’ve got this! I’d also be interested in an update about your experience
@Clark Kent I totally understand what you’re saying because I stopped cold turkey as well. I’ve only hit a j twice in 5 years. I also never smoked anything other than that. There are people who are still in awe that I quit the way that I did. They always ask how and why. I didn’t even crave it for about 3 years. It was so strange to me because I also went through 3-4 grams per day. The past two years is when the cravings came back, and that’s when the two hits came into play. It was all a mental thing for me. I trained myself to think different which led to me being different. I also believe in you because I can tell that you really want change from what you’re saying. Practice consistency, and things will change. You can also reach out to me on IG if you have one.
The first two days are usually horrible. After that, you generally lose the desire for food. If you can get through the first couple of days, you start to feel energetic even after many days. You'll probably have periods of tiredness or lightheadedness but those usually clear up if you lie down a while.
Just did a 7 day water only fast and it was the best thing I have ever done for my mental wellbeing. I am continuing on a ketogenic diet and it seems to keep the benefits going...ketones baby! To anyone struggling with depression / anxiety: PLEASE do yourself a favor and push thru the first 3 days and you will be amazed. I have bipolar and the mindset at the end of the fast was similar to the positive and energetic feeling I usually have on my manic episodes except NO irrability, NO grandiosity, NO impulsiveness, NO unrealistic thinking etc... my mind felt so patient, clear, focused, and in the moment, normal, happy. Got shit done, made plans, was relaxed and social with people, enjoyed the little things. Even had a chill good time with my parents! (alone worth the price of admission) Got to meet the good in myself and my surroundings after a long period of depression. This experience was magical and I have continued on with a new found confidence and inner peace. DO IT.
@@starburst9053 Still going strong, keeping good habits and free of rumination and negative thought loops. Keto diet and light exercise. I had one (1) depressive panic like "attack" last week and immediately did a breathing exercise followed by a 30sec cold shower, stopped it in its tracks. Happy to have encouraged someone, best of luck!
Thank you so much for sharing this! Congratulations to you. My husband has bipolar and I wonder how it would help him feel. I have to do this. You’re a light!!
I have told people since 2005 how one time when I was getting divorced, I did not eat for 40 days and on day 40, I had a strong electric buzz on the top of my head, and got off the floor with the most energy and least pain of my life.
I’m water fasting 9 days at time, when I can’t stand it, I eat olives about 5…it satisfies me and I keep going! It works great! I’ve lost 40 pounds in 32 days now! This works folks! You can do it! It takes extra discipline. If you need salt, drink a little pickle juice or or olive juice or Himalayan salt water. Discipline is determination! Let your own body do the work!
I've done many fasts and a 40 day fast once. After about 3 or 4 days, hunger goes away and you, actually, start to have a lot of energy. At some point, you aren't hungry anymore, but realize how much time you spend buying, preparing, thinking about and eating food. It is almost more about those things than being hungry. Anyway, I highly recommend fasting...and praying!
Amen!!!!
What happens to our bone and hair health during prolong fasting?
All praises to the most high good job brother Derek!!
@Conqueror's haki That never happened to me and I don't want to give you bad advice. I am not an expert, nor a doctor. If it were me, then i would strongly consider ending the fast. 17 days is a long time. Take care!
@@bittercoffee113 There will be a good chance you will have hair shedding that you will notice a month or so after the fast. The longer the fast the more likely this will happen. Hair is at the very bottom of the priority list for the body, so when protein and nutrients are low it can cause hair follicles to shut down and go to sleep.
This isn't hair loss as when you return to eating those hair follicles will come back into the growing stage.
Chronic and long term nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances cause hair loss.
Bones will be broken down as well through autophagy, but this again will be quickly regenerated when you start eating and healing again. Fasting is amazing but doing it too much and not allowing the body to heal and recover can cause issues as your eating away at the body but not allowing it time to recover. Fasting is two parts, the actual fasting and then the eating and recovery aswell.
I’m currently on day 3/40 of my water fasting. I was diagnosed with leukemia 2 years ago, got cancer free for a year but now my blood tests are showing leukemia cells again. I’m praying that I will cure or at least help the cancer not to spread more. Please pray for me 😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😔
Edit: I ended my water fasting on a day 26/40. I didn’t mind at all the fast heartbeat which I think i had it because of dehydration, but I started being concerned when I had body chills. Literally on the day 25 I was feeling so cold. The benefits are beyond imagination though. I lost 25 pounds, I was taking 2 bp medications and now I take None. My skin looks so smooth like I am 10 years younger and my vision is so much better. Now I am eating one meal a day OMAD because I am scared that leukemia will come back. I am determined to do a 3 days water fasting once or twice a month until I am completely cancer free!
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the prayers the support and love. I wish health, happiness and blessings to all of you guys! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️ God bless you all.
Hello again today is September 15th, 2024. First of I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the wishes and advices. Second of all two days ago I had my last appointment with my Hematologist and my test came back negative, no cancer cells found 😭. I have done a 25 days water fasting a 21 days, and a 42 days since January of 2024. I have reverse my type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and from 228 pounds I’m 167 lbs so far. Fasting is a God send medication that heals every disease and is totally free. Sending a big hug to every each of you who prayed for me ❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@susanturnbull9773 Yes, I know fully what you mean, Susan. A single insight or phrase can move a mountain!
I have cancer and severe breathing problems, and am morbidly obese. Recently I have started on a ketotonic diet and a dairy-free regime, to prepare for my surgery to have a kidney removed. It is hard to say 'no' to sugar and carbs, but, as you so rightly argue, it is harder to look in the mirror with self-loathing and feelings of guilt and regret for neglecting one's health over the years (I am 71).
As for me, I believe firmly that seventy is, or can be, the new forty, so I don't feel old 'inside' at all, (and I'm still a whizz at mental arithmetic!) It's never too late. Also, I hope and believe that should I not get through the surgery I will go to be with my beautiful Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. So either way, I am a winner!
God bless you.

As the great Isaac Newton once said: 'If I have seen further than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of the giants that have gone before me'.

I've fasted for 25 days in a row many years ago. It was the best time of my life.
Hey! I plan to do this when my fridge becomes empty of last weeks grocery shop! My plan is to meditate and practise Qigong/yoga - and beyond! A big believer in Christ and know that He will be fasting with me during the time.
What about refeed I keep seeing different UA-cam doctors saying it can kill you and that’s the only thing holding me back and I keep telling myself Jesus fasted 40 days can I please get your opinion I live with lupus and I believe this is my answer
@@Deliveryonadimewithsheena I’m not a doctor or a
Dietician. Just look on UA-cam the best ways to break your fast.
Last time I soaked 10 prunes. The first night of breaking the fast I drunk the water, the next day I had 1 prune every 6 hours. I’m still alive to eat this.
Although it is the most important part of fasting, because in my first fasting I had problem with a fatty liver.
This is my first 24hrs of fasting. I'm aiming for 30days to get rid of the high blood pressure, cholesterol and borderline diabetes. Not excluding the excess weigh. Please pray for me. I need a change in my eating behaviors
You can get rid of all that under 30 days. You'll see a difference in a week.
The trick is; once you've fasted and continuously followed a eating schedule, you must maintain the lifestyle. Otherwise, the weight will come back, the pains will come back and the medication will come back.
Same reason here why am on fasting. Its my 8thday today. Good luck to us
Prayers heading your weight
You got this 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 you’re not alone
I hope you fast is going well!
Once you start fasting, you will learn that the meal is no longer the gift, the Fast is the Gift. -Dr. Mindy Pelz
Fasting is such a great body and mind reset tool. Love it. Will do it till I die. I feel great when fasting. Mind is widening and improving on a daily basis. The constant food injection is making the opposite. Making the body busy with processing that food, but the body and mind are dependent on the carbs every 3 to 4 hours. And then hunger. No more hunger while on fasting and keto.
@EGM GAMING Did your knee pains go away?
at 144 hours right now. I feel fantastic. 5 mile bike ride each of last 3 days, no issues. I have PAD and when fasting the pain of exerting doesn't occur
Fasting is gifted..any ppl don't know
How amazing is fasting..I work hard
And my mind is more focus..I feel good....
Wow learning so much glad I watched this video
I am on day 36 of my 40 day water fast. 44lbs lost so far.
I remember watching this video before starting.
I take a multivitamin, B complex, vitamin C, magnesium supplement, sea salt, and usually 2-3 liters of water every day.
I’ll likely hit 50lbs lost by the conclusion of this, which is 4 days away as of writing this.
I did this for more than weight loss. I woke one Sunday morning feeling depressed and sick of the direction my life was going.
It was the morning after a night of bad eating and drinking.
I was tired of being tired of being tired. I couldn’t stand looking at the person in the mirror, and I was tired of the toxic relationships I had with people who used you when they needed something, but were nowhere to be found when they were doing good.
A fast as a hard reset on my life was the best thing I could have ever done to find clarity in my life.
❤🩹
We're you working during ?
@@andrewdiolosa3861 Oh yea. 70 hours per week. Plus flying up to 3-5 times per week as well.
Tomorrow is day 40 for me, thankfully. Close to 50lbs lost.
congrats man. I am starting my 40 day fast tomorrow.
@@FastingWisdom what was your weight before and after?
Yes when I did a 7 day fast all the sudden everyone was so concerned and telling me it’s dangerous and I needed to eat and I didn’t need to lose weight. I wasn’t doing it to lose weight I was trying to benefit from cell repair as I was in absolute agony with back pain. People really made the situation worse so I wouldn’t tell anyone if I did it again and just avoid people altogether.
Facts! Most people who say this say it from a place of illiteracy and I usually tell them, listen you yourself have got this and this and this health problem, I think you should water fast with me you will benefit more than me. That normally shuts them up lol.
I agree. People get really, really weird about food, and depriving yourself. It's really a fascinating thing to see. Maybe because we're so hard-wired into eating for survival, people just do a knee-jerk reaction?
always move in silence, people will have opinions on everything but thats for them, real1 move in silence others just talking
@@KakaCat99 always, trynna stop a player
a work friend once told me that best way to stick to a diet is to not tell anyone you are on a diet. If they asked, she would lie and say she was just craving cucumber. It is much the same. Many will feel threatened by your choices.. like it is some kind of judgement on them.I have water fasted a few times and never told anyone.
I did 40 days and I lost 42 pounds and it’s been almost 2 years and I kept it off. I personally love fasting and I live my life by it 😊
How did you break your fast?
Only water for 40 days ?
I am sorry I don't believe you
Zee I used bone broth then started to reduce foods in slowly.
Tony Phylactou you don’t have too because you didn’t live my life. I did salts in my water and I was very proud of myself. It takes a lot of willpower and hard work. I did it for 40 days because Jesus did. I been living this life style for awhile now and I personally love it. I had a really big cyst when I started and I am so proud to say my body dissolved it. Unbelievable healing powers with fasting, look into it and i would never ever go back to eating 3 meals a day ever again. God bless you on your Journey 😌
It hilarious that god tells us some things can only be done through fasting and prayer and here we are listening to scientists saying fasting is the only thing that can help certain conditions. God has been so good to us.

Currently on day 22 of 30. Lost 50 lbs. It's tough, but I'll see it through.
Hows it going? How much fat did you have before u started?
Would you be kind enough to tell us what you consumed ?
Was it only water or water plus lemon or anything else ?
Hi guys, quick update. I did it! I completed the fast on April 3rd at 3pm and I couldn't be more proud of myself for the achievement. During the fast I consumed absolutely nothing but bottled water. No supplements, no tea, no coffee. Nothing. I can't say if I'd recommend people do that as the prolonged experience of zero electrolytes is unpleasant as best. I intend to do another 30 day fast likely in May, this time with the addition of magnesium and potassium supps to experience the difference. Ultimately I lost exactly 53.7lbs, down from almost exactly 400 lbs and I feel fantastic. I've been on a little break so I can enjoy some of my favorite foods (in moderation of course) so starting Monday I'll go back to 1 meal a week for the rest of April untill I do another 30 in May.
@@chrischangfong3873 Congratulations.
@@chrischangfong3873 Hi. Congrats, great achievement. Did u do any physical or mental work during this time? Did u go to ur job?
I fasted no food just water and plain tea with lemon for 46 days and just recently broke it. I lost almost 50 pounds and my body completely reset itself, regenerated and restored from the inside out. I’d suddenly started dealing with blood pressure issues and other health problems which the doctor prescribed me medication for that I absolutely refused to take so I prayed about it and God led me on what I thought was a 21 day fast of no food just water but it was actually a 46 day fast instead. My body completely changed as if it was repaired to new. I’m currently on zero medications and my blood pressure previously 180/99 is currently 117/80 with a normal pulse and no other issues in my body, completely healthy, PRAISE GOD! I also have a lot of energy and I definitely sleep better now and longer. Once I broke it I had to start off eating very light because my stomach could only handle a very small portion of food. Of course I thought eating vegetables were ok but, NOT. I thought I was going to die after I ate little of them so I started throwing up nonstop which was the worst feeling and my stomach was turning flips amongst other things which I won’t mention and I almost passed out. FYI, after a long period of fasting a little bone broth would probably be better once it’s broken. Since breaking my fast about 2 weeks now I’ve only been eating one meal a day drinking just water with lemon and eating no junk foods, fast foods nor sweets. I eat organic everything, lots of vegetables, I cook all of my meals now because I know what going in them. I buy only organic grass fed meat which I still don’t eat a lot of (meat that is) My whole lifestyle of eating has completely changed without the slightest cravings for any of the mess I was addicted to eating before. I don’t even miss it. Fasting is definitely one of the greatest benefits to having a healthier body. Denying your body the thing it craves most is actually giving your body what it need most and that’s no food for an extended period of time. Be blessed on your journey to becoming a better and healthier you through fasting.
Thank you for sharing! I keep failing but I’m determined to keep fasting, praying, and getting in the Word

I have just made a new comment on this video where you can follow along :) take a look!
YES YOU CAN! Raise that vibration and never stop! Peace and proud of you.
Suggestion for your next fast and to others - the first few days can be the hardest so if you are three days in and feeling good I would suggest you keep going as it gets easier and the benefits of better health, no hunger, lots of energy, mental/brain improvements and not needing too much sleep and waking early and refreshed start to reveal themselves. Plus you have a lot of extra time! And keep a detailed diary of your experiences/feelings - that's very helpful. I'm on day four of my third fast as I type. I highly recommended fasting.

The weigh loss is great but fasting does so much more for you.
did he die?
@@sofahitam_id2412 All people die, of course. But the way a lot of people go down is tough, painful, freedom limiting. And the reason for a lot of that is their body has a lifetime of junk in it and the internal garbage man ( autophagy ) works less and less, allowing things to pile up. Fasting clears out the toxins, bad cells, defunct pieces on a subcellular level ahead of time so that when the garbage man stops working, your issues won't pile up nearly as fast.
I am 55 and have a 1 yr old grandson. I hope that in 15 years I can still be physically active to be a part of his life. That is my goal.

Raquel did you succeed in your fasting goal
I recently completed a 7 day fast drinking only water. I just can’t believe how I feel now. It’s amazing. I found it very easy to start as I was already on a time restricted eating regime eating only one or 2 meals a day within a 5 hour window. I didn’t feel hungry at all within the 7 days. I felt I could have continued for more than 7 days. Day 5 and 6 of the fast I felt I needed more sleep. My on going back lower back pain from spinal surgery a year ago was causing me real trouble. However on day 8 I woke up with no back pain and fabulous skin texture. No bags under my eyes. Not sure what has happened inside but I feel absolutely wonderful. I am 69 years old this August and feel more like I am back in my twenties again. Gail

@@user97745 yea it was real difficult but i think that maybe a dry fast might be much easier because i guess they say in a dry fast u want water every single time u can get it. Sometimes u can over drink water. And supposedly also in a dry fast 1 day of dry fasting is equivalent to 2-3 days of dry fasting. And is much harder on repairing the body meaning it attacks everything 3x times more than a water fast

Ive noticed when i eat very little, especially after a binge phase, i feel amazing. Idk why i dont fast more often
Did your parents agree with your observations? i.e. you felt the positives and you felt/thought they did too, or they confirmed your observations?
@@jamesclark6487 Oh yes, they did. My parents were surprised by my energy levels and how I felt and looked. In fact, when I finished the fast, they were telling all their friends about it.
I’m on day 27 of my 40 day water fast. I have kidney failure and it’s not recommended for kidney failure patients to fast. 60 days ago I decided to eat a raw vegan diet and 27 days ago decided to start a water fast. Haven’t been to dialysis once. Sometimes trusting yourself and knowing your body is best. I meditated on the idea that my kidneys work perfectly every day. Thankful for an opportunity to heal myself. I encourage any kidney failure patient to try along with consulting a doctor. What I did wasn’t necessarily safe to be honest. Was just so sick of dialysis.
All power to you Carla, that is wonderful to hear.
Thank you so much!!
So happy for u Carla👏🏾 Wishing you the Best of continuous Good health to u!
wow respect, do you just water fast? Or do you use some minerals ? Like sodium (or salt) etc? How is your breath? Did you feel alcohol like breath? Or feeleing in your mouth? It is something like acidic ? When I did 21 days fast I had this symptomes. I felt extremely tired all the time, I think is it maybe because I did not take salt?? Whats your energy level? How about your energy in muscles, are they "heavy" or "tired" ? Thanks for possible answer and hope it will help you, last question what will be you first meal?
@Brett M yea you are right, I can confirm from my own experience, In 21 days I drink just water, but It was hard.... tired all the time, heavy muscles, problem with sleep etc etc... When I did 6 days fast but with salt I had same level of energy maybe even more, sleep was better (not perfect but when I compare It was better) not heavy muscles and pretty ok energy I could even do litle exercise like yoga... so yes definitely there should be some information about electrolytes in 10+ days fasting, you are basically dehydrated because of osmosis... your body sucks at retaining sodium when you dont have insulin spikes, When I am on keto diet I can take 2-3 times more salt than before and I am completely fine, I dont know about potassium and from where could I get in on fast like sodium (which is from salt) Yea I know that there is potassium chloride just like sodium chloride but when you think about our ancestors could they supplement potasium chloride ?? I think not so our body must have some evolutionary mechanism how to retain potassium better when we fast and another fact is that potassium Is most abundant mineral in our cells sodium is outside of cells so we do not need so much because we do not lose it so much like sodium (sweat, urine etc)
I fasted for 21 days back in September. Went to Chipotle to pick up some food for my husband and the cashier said “Wow, you have really good skin.” That was a HUGE confirmation to the after glow people talk about after a prolonged fast.
after my 35 day my eyes were brighter and skin cleared up

Watching this in January 2025. Absolutely great information. I am starting day 5 of my fast. My goal is to fast as long as I can and reach 40 days. All of the testimonies on here have been so encouraging and inspiring. Wishing everyone much success in taking back their health and making radical changes to do different!!
Wow great to see you here! It is my second day today and I am planning to fast for 60 days, I even made a calendar 😂 I wish you luck and I hope you achieve your goals whether it is weight loss or getting healthier or improve your relationship with food
I 24 hour in. After watching this video I'm pumped. My initial goal was 7 days. But I'm gonna go all the way to 40
Day 4 going for 28 days this time. Finished an 11 day last week.
Do you see the light in this man's eyes when he speaks? His passion for what he does is undeniable!
Me too
I used fasting to get from 240 with a big gut to 170 with ABS, I put on 30lbs to do 21 day fast, Come to my channel and take a look feel free to ask me any questions you have about fasting, daily updates
Yes, because the truth he speaks is being buried by big medicine, big pharma, food industry, and big tech, ultimately the men at the top. This is the type of truth that could change the world if people were exposed to it by the places that claim to help you!
Probably because he doesn’t actually fast and isn’t dumb enough to try that shit. His eyes are lighting up with the money he makes from selling this mythical bullshit.
@@audimaster5000 Have you tried it?
@@harrisonfiore7090 Yes. Years ago when I sort of fell into the rabbit hole of this type of pseudoscience. Sure some of it has legit research and data to back it up, but not everyone is the same- also people’s metabolism and such can change quite significantly depending on all sorts of factors. PubMed and Google scholar are good to look up the most up to date studies and such.
Dr. Goldhamer is the best in his field. I went to his clinic after being bedridden for 2 years in my late 20"s. His clinic changed my life and turned my health around! I stayed at his clinic for 25 days. Better than any vacation! God bless you Dr. Goldhamer.
Can I ask you about the benefits you received?
Guys -- if you do a long fast remember to eat very little the day after you end it. Eat almost nothing And scale it up slowly or you will end up in hospital. This is very important.
Thank you. No one's talking about this very important point. I heard if a pastor's wife who died after a 40 day fast from eating a big meal immediately after the fast ended...
I fasted 21 days and coming off the fast could barely eat before being very full. Also, goes very, very fast through the system for at least a week.
It is hard to see how anyone could end up eating too much after a long fast.
This isn't true. If our ancestors went hungry for weeks and then suddenly managed to get food are you telling me that they thought 'oh I had better eat this food slowly over many days otherwise I might die'. No, they would eat as much as they could until they were stuffed and before it rotted or something else ate it first. I never believed it was dangerous to eat normally after a fast so I tried it myself after a 2 week water fast. I ate as much of whatever I was craving until I was stuffed and it the most delicious thing ever. The worst thing that happened was that I urgently needed a massive crap an hour later. Interestingly I couldn't eat anywhere near as much as I had intended to either because my stomach had shrunk.
@@SIBUK Ahh.. an armchair expert. Our ancestors did not "go hungry for weeks". But if you don't believe me, try it out yourself. Write from hospital telling us I was correct. Hope you live to tell us.
VERY MUCH SO!!!!!!!!
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!
WAS FORCED TO EAT 3X A DAY, and it ALMOST KILLED ME!
I BLEW UP, GOT ALL INFLSMED, AND FELT I WAS GOING TO BURST!
It was the WORST CONSTIPATION EVER!
A very stupid spiritual father al.ost killed me with that, and I badically just ate soup to obey him!
But it was just WAY TOO MUCH AFTER A 6 WEEK FAST (WEEKDAYS)!
GOOD ADVICE.
OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE!

I have only ever made it 5 days of water fasting although I strive for more. The personal benefits: 1) I enjoy raw vegetables again, because it retrains your taste buds 2) I have more portion control power and increased ability to avoid processed addictive foods
3) weight loss
4) clear skin
5) cured of excema over time of doing this
6) clarity of thought
7) more productive
8) increased sex drive
The bible talks about fasting and that's how I started.
5 days of water fasting is a Great accomplishment! Health-wise I'd like to see your bio-markers!
Stupid Bible has nothing to do with it
The bible says lots of crazy things, but that doesn't make it right!
Fasting, marriage and a lot of other things existed before Christianity!
The Bible is the infallible word of God. People who read and apply it will know that Fasting helps believers get closer to God. Give up the flesh and the Spirit is renewed, along with the body. Thank you Jesus 🙏
5 days is pretty solid. 4 is my max. But I usually do a couple days a month -- almost 4 months total water fasting over 5 yrs. Goal is to clear out cellular/subcellular junk before autophagy drops off after 65 yrs old.
I’m 61 and started water fasting when I was in my mid 20’s.
I somehow got away from water fasting and now today I’m very challenged with chronic pain , anxiety , insomnia, gut problems-SIBO , diverticulosis and hormonal imbalances.
I’ve actually been thinking of water fasting as I’ve exhausted all my other options without success.
Low and behold this talk shows up on my feed! Wow 😮
I’m starting water fasting 🙏
Dry fast is better in my opinion
@@aroTheKidd why. i dont think so
@Debbie Klose, how's it going so far? Any better?
Same here...🙏🙌👏
@@aroTheKidd hello , I’m just now learning about dry fasting . When I first saw your suggestion, it sorta freaked me out but I started looking into it and so I started dry fasting this evening. I’m going to see how I do for the next 16 -18 hours without water. Lucky for me 6-8 hours is spent overnight tonight as I sleep. But I’m a big water drinker and it’s the first thing I drink is 16 ounces of water when I get up and another 30 ounces before 10 am so this will be interesting. And it’s August -HOT!! 😳 But I want to see how i do.
Thanks so much for planting that seed in my head and setting this in motion for me. 😎
This is very encouraging. I quit alcohol 2 years ago and it changed my life. Now I have to do the same with food. I want to start out with a water fast. Im 65 and want the rest of my life to be meaningful and , let's face it, enjoyable.

The body needs a constant supply of protein to live and protect all the bodies organs and their function ect... id suggest actual legitimate diet change and learning about how protein work to find a better source of such foods. Fasting is a terrible money making myth. Blood work and actual data is truly a much better idea if ones really wishing to have concrete and factual based information for what’s going on in ones body concerning diet.
@@arvinmathew6684 quit food
Fantastic for your sobriety Susan! Your goals with food and fasting are spot on. I hope you’re doing well with it. I’m 62. Abused alcohol and drugs starting at 13. I started fasting at 15. Read Paul Braggs book and I was sold. But I continued abusing. I now have cirrhosis. I’ve been substance free for 2 years. I was 12 hours from death in 2019. Eating clean and fasting makes a huge difference in everything. At my heaviest I was 264. Now I hover around 145. Joy and elation hang out with me every day. I’m really happy to hear your story. You are a warrior too!
Who else is enjoying not only these gentlemen, but also the comments ? 😁
Classic information!!! The bibles talks about fasting and that s no coincidence- God knows best!!! After all, he designed us ! If you put diesel in a petrel engine...

Love fasting, live by it, experienced so many benefits and have accomplished suppressing many autoimmune diseases from it. Highly recommend anyone looking to complete one, seek advice from a fasting clinic or your local doctor always before proceeding
Kn😊
I’m in fasting right now and today is my 23rd day. Not gonna lie, breaking my fasting comes to my mind a dozen times now cause there a times that i crave so much about certain foods. Now watching this video puts me back and adds encouragement to reach that 40days goal. And by the way, i already lost 10kgs.
Did you go for 40?
You were sugar dependent when you started. Sugar comes from refined sugar products and carbs.
Better plan .. Break sugar dependence but doing smaller fasts and working up.
Superb 🏄
@@chriss8328 I did. I lost a total of 24kgs after my 40 days fast. And I just found out that breaking a longer fast is equally harder as fasting😅
@@Kitiwake Yes, that’s what my doctor told me, and warned me that in less than a year i will be diabetic if i will not change my eating habit. And surprisingly enough, when I told her that I’m planning to do 40 days fasting, she said that it’s better than any prescription she could give.
My wife was diagnosed with T2D one month ago to the day. Immediately we both went on zero sugar, zero simple carbs and high cruciferous veggies. As well as intermittent fasting 18:6. Her blood sugars were around 300, now cruising around 90-120 with levels going down after eating. Her insulin resistance is disappearing! We're dropping weight, no aches and pains, breathing better, tons of energy and insane mental clarity only a month in. Love this new medical insight...a wave is coming!
Congratulation, Dustin! Best wishes to both of you. If diet causes a disease, a change of diet will alter the progression.
You and your wife are smart!!!
How's it still going with her blood sugars?
That's great. Implementation as a life style is the most important step now.
How is it now?
@@GOATLAVISH777 great, thanks for asking. A1C is 5.2 and feeling amazing, not to mention looking amazing too. One of the best things is her cycles used to be incredibly painful, now she can barely tell.
I’ve previously done a 30day fast, and now I’m 8 days into 40- in the last week of my 30 days I was so absolutely at peace & at such peak mental clarity I thought I was dead lol- after living with depression for years previous, being so free and purely happy seemed almost alien, I’m so grateful to have found it & wish the same for everyone :)
@@asdf1991asdf Proud of your commitment to your fasts either way! ☺️ I really didn’t get to that kind of “enlightenment” feeling until my last week of fasting but I eased into eating afterwards starting with light soups etc. I found that the excess sugar in my diet really fuelled my depressed feelings (not being the cause of them, but sugar certainly did not benefit my symptoms) Anyway, I hope you find a routine that works for you soon, all the best & thanks again :)
I love this. I'm 32 Yr old male and suffered with depression for as long as I can remember. I have only just started a 5 day fast today so I'm ready for the benefits. I suffer with agoraphobia too which was caused I'm sure by the depression and anxiety. I was a plasterer but lost it all. Time to restart my life. Good luck I'm really happy for you.
@@stuffedturkey12 Thank you so much & I wish you all the best with fasting! thats the beautiful thing really, it acts a fresh start (both physically & mentally). The feeling of renewing yourself in that way is something I’d wish for everyone! Haha if only food wasn’t so damn good lol
@@xoshanland Thanks for sharing your fasting experience. You are an impressive woman to do these long fasts. I wish I had your will power, because I can make it about 20 hours on a fast. As for your depression, have you ever had your methylmalonic acid tested? This will show your B12 at the tissue level. A regular B12 blood test won't show the tissue level, you need the methylmalonic acid test, and if it's elevated, it will mean you have a low B12 in the tissue. When the B12 gets low at the tissue, it causes the M acid to get high, which blocks enzymes that convert ammonia to urea. When the ammonia gets high, it causes depression and other problems. I researched this years ago when my brother became depressed and it was a low B12 causing it. A low D3 can also cause depression. Anyway, that fasting is definitely working for you because you look great and are a very pretty woman.
@@Okie343 That is for sure something I will look into! Investing in my health & what makes me feel good has been my hobby (for the better) during this pandemic & I most certainly worked for a long time to be able to do such fasts but I love how there is always benefits no matter the length (your 20hrs is still 20 hours!!!) Thank you for that information though, you are a great brother to have done that research to help out a sibling ☺️

When I decided to do a 40 day water fast, I had recently been diagnosed with mild arthritis on my left shoulder. Even though it was 'mild' the pain was unbearable. On top of that, I was 25 kg overweight so I had plenty of fat stores. I was 47 year old then and after the 40 days of water fasting I felt like a 20 year old and my skin looked amazing! AND the arthritis went away and hasn't come back. I drank only tap water with a pinch of Himalayan salt, I also drank sugar free electrolyte drinks, a vitamin supplement, iron (I had low iron) taken with water and lemon (to increase its absorption) and every night I used pure magnesium oil on my legs.I was working while on the fast so the last two weeks of fasting were a little taxing as I was feeling lethargic but my mental clarity remained despite the tiredness. I also noticed some muscle mass loss but I at least I felt that I had a 'blank' canvas to work with after the fast meaning I would be able to goto the gym and build muscle on a body that had much less fat stores than when I started the fast. I'm not telling you to fast for 40 days because I am not a medical practitioner but I can say that it worked for me. Also, if you are a spiritual person, it benefits you tremendously. After the fast, it is important that you break the fast the proper way and then do a lifestyle change to maintain the benefits you obtained on the fast. Having a healthy diet, exercising and building muscle mass is paramount to having a functional and quality of life particularly if you want to age well and be able to do the things you enjoy. If you go back to your old habits, unfortunately you will again suffer the same ailments that you had before, so it needs to be a conscious decision to do a complete overhaul of your lifestyle.
I got 5mm of bursitis in my left shoulder so I get how much it sucks ..
Did the vitamin supplement upset your stomach at all? I want to do a longer fast and want to make sure I take enough supplements but I’m afraid I might feel queasy taking vitamins. :)
@@carolynmcnaught9669 the vitamins made me feels a bit unwell, mine were water solutable so I just used half of it and I was fine.

Dr. Goldhamer is a genius. I had the pleasure of recently attending the True North Health Centre and hearing him speak in person. I completed a 14 day water only fast, followed by a whole plant food diet free of added salt, oil and sugar, and it has been life changing. I’m so grateful to him. He’s passionate committed, and hilarious at the same time!
I agree, decent, good guy!
Is it all oil or is virgin olive oil ok?
you should try Tanglewood (his competition) it's much better
I also believe Dr. Goldhamer is a genius. He is passionate about his work and sticks to his principles. Would love to have him check St. Margaret Hospital in Hammond, Indiana where they closed it and may tear it down. Over 500, 000 population in county and close to Chicago. GOD BLESS DR.

@@AMonikaD My advice is to cut out wheat stuff entirely. But if you must eat it, eat it before noon. Another thing you should have noticed is that if you swill down some good oil like avocado or olive, you wont be hungry. Try doing that at bedtime instead, It has HUGE health benefits.
FI, on the days, twice a week, when i take my tablespoon of cod liver oil at dawn, i can go til noon and never feel hungry.

And Buddha.
Amen!!!

@Tafari I
And the non religious people you refer to fasted because fasting tradition has been passed on by religions, as has much that has benefited modern mankind. It's sad that many people today have little insight into the heritage of civilization and the central role religion played in that.
As for the flesh being the same, you don't know what you are talking about. Moses and Jesus fasted completely from water and food for 40 days and nights. If you think that is achievable by others, go and try. But write a will first.
@Tafari I
Where's your evidence non religious people existed throughout history? You won't find any, because non religious communities did not thrive, nor learn languages and writing and making of books.
Why do you think Homosapien Neanderthals buried their dead 75,000 years ago?
Why do you think Australian Aboriginals cremated their dead 40,000 years ago?
Why do you think later Neanderthals were buried with utilitarian relics?
Why do you think the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge were built?
Without exception, every significant enduring community of humans had religious beliefs and customs.
American Indians, Indian Indians, Indonesians, Tribes in the Amazon, early Koreans.....wherever you go, enduring communities have believed in supernatural God or Gods, and have passed on their cultural wisdom through religious ceremony and custom....which includes fasting.
It is testament to the subversive influence of atheistic forces today, that people such as yourself are so patently ignorant about history.
You must be very young, and very naive.
Show me your evidence anyone on the internet, who says they fasted from all food and fluid for 40 days, is telling the truth. Go tell your doctor you intend to do this, and I bet he gets you certified mentally ill.

I have been water fasting for years. I love it. I feel amazing and my body is so happy to not be trying to rid itself of poison every day. I am currently on day 21 of a 90 day fast. Down 23lbs. And very motivated to keep going. Fasting brings me closer to God which I also love. I came to this video for inspiration and i am excited to see all of the people in the comments realizing the benefits of fasting.
That is amazing! I remember attending a fasting conference in bible college 15-years back. Many students took part in fasting and praying that week. I've never been able to fast due to the intense pain and headaches that accompany with fasting after 24-hours. This is probably due to eating so much junk and caffeine over the years.
Just wanted to add, I can do the 16:8 method that some call a type of fasting.
Can you do it if you’re on medication cause I fancy this
@@paullynch1938 I would talk to your doctor. With that, there has been stories, papers, and videos with people stating that fasting reduced their need for medication or even the need for any medication. There has been reports of the body healing itself with fasting. Remember to prepare, study, and start with small fasts.
I typically fast 18/6 every day - that is 18 hours of fasting and 6 hours of eating. Doing this without changing what I eat has caused me to lose about 20 pounds in two months. I am not changing how much I eat and slowly reducing my sugar intake.
No way your fasting for 90 days. Your can’t live 90s with no food and just water unless you are taking electrolytes and stuff too.
Are you working during this time? Full time, part time, or don’t need to work…
I'm at 43 days right now and I feel great. I have tons of energy. I sleep great and my skin looks smoother. I started developing high blood pressure as I got older and now my pressure is normal. Went and had a complete work up on everything. Doctor said there was nothing wrong with me and said I was in perfect shape.
Do you take electrolytes?
@@savagestation7153 Yes I sure do. Every time I drink water.
Please give me advice on how to do this. What do I drink, how much, what supplements, refeeding, how not to die, if I can't keep water down cause I wanna vomit how do I overcome... So many questions
@@axg93 Drink three litres a day. One cup at a time. It can be straight water or so many litres of tea. I like green tea/ herbal tea. One cup has Himalayan pink salt and potassium chloride added. Try a 24 hour one. Eat your evening meal at 5:30 pm. In the morning just start drinking and at say 6:00 pm that evening have a nice meal. In a few weeks try a 36 h. I am on my 5th fast in 9 months. Last time three months ago I did 93 hours. I'm 70 in now and will be going to 120 hours this time. I went swimming today will walk tomorrow for a couple of hours. Take your time and enjoy the experience. You won't die lol 😉
Did you do the workout as well during water fast and how much did you loose
I started my journey 48 hours ago . And I feel great than ever . I feel powerful . I have depression but making this challenging myself in some way made me happy .
Gratz
Hope you be happier soon! Depression is so mean. Hoping that the fast brings you joy, also afterwards.
I would trust a Doctor who looks radiant, energetic, joyful, youthful etc.
@Steve Warlee so, what you advise now how to break fast
Just about 100% of WFPB doctors look awesome that's the proof!
@@glasssobright654 what is WFPB
what exactly do you mean? Do you mean he does not look well?

Congratulations
Thank you @@DOTMH_1 . 😃
Wow, that is amazing! Did you do it with a doctor oversight or on your own? Did you see good results in regrds to cancer?
Great! That should knock it out.
Did it work?
I'm thinking this is one of the best podcast I've heard in a VERY long time!
This guy has been so far ahead of the curve it's mind blowing. If only a tenth of the worlds doctors had his enthusiasm and knowledge. Apart from the the fact that he isn't a secret salesman you can just see in his yes he wants to make people better, what a star.
For sure. He says "We need to make our people less vulnerable to the diseases."
Doctors aren't trained to have ideas. They're trained to recognize a problem and treat it with what they've learned. The people who wrote the books they learn from did so without regard for long-term consequences. Many are based on pills/substances being the "cure" even if it has wild side effects. As long as it helps cure 'some' people, it's the given treatment. Drugs get phased out constantly for 'the new best thing'
Which is almost guaranteed to be another side effect ridden substitute.
I did a 7 day recently and I want to do it again. I felt free.
Isn't it amazing how liberating it is? Its hard to understand unless someone actually does it.
I also did. 7 day. I noticed my sense of smell got much better. I lost about 2 lbs per day.
@@EdmundTrujillo did you just drink water? Or did you add salt too?
@@idkidc1377 I did water only. My sense of smell got really good. I could smell a pizzeria a few blocks away.
Last month I started alternate day fasting for 40 hours, every monday, wednesday and friday. It has changed my appetite for the better. I stop eating on Sunday around 6 pm and only have water and tea until Tuesday around 10. I wa on vacation last week and did one meal a day, didn't think my companions would understand not eating so I said nothing and only had dinner most days. As soon as I got back I weighed myself and only gained a pound! My metabolism is changing. I just completed a 48 hour fast and think I'll go longer once a season. I'm seeing great benefits and my body shape is changing. I don't need to lose weight, I'm doing this for longevity and health. Fascinating, wish I had found it years ago. I'm 67 and had surgery for a rare Chondrosarcoma almost 3 years ago and am determined to be as healthy as I can.
I like this idea. Is there a magic number with 40?
Day 6 - lost 17LBS. Was planning to last at least a day or two. Taking a day at a time but hoping to last at least two weeks. Started at 375- now slowly coming down. Not feeling hungry- i guess i have plenty of storage to take from ;-) Stay strong whoever is fasting now!!
Keep it up. You’re doing well
That’s wonderful, lots of power to you!
Day 11- Down to 345.. Still going strong.
Thank you for kind words of encouragement.
Each day is a success. I’m on day 2 of my first 3 day water fast.
How did fast go? How long did you fast and how many pounds lost?
This doctor is so passionate about his protocol he makes you want to start the fast NOW!
I completed a 5 day water fast and I felt amazing. I messed up by binging on the weekend :( but, I'm not going to let it discourage me. I am starting over again today. Wish me luck!
Dont get discouraged. Try eating whole foods plant based soon after fasting. I love my 4 to 5 days. Wanna go a week next. Lately I do an OMAD. I feel great.
Good luck man
Be impressed you did that!!! There are ALWAYS benefits!
Good luck, I'm starting mines Monday
Keep grabbing the bull by the horns. Never give up and Good Luck!!
Did a 7 day fast a few weeks ago. I was on 3 blood pressure medications and Metformin for diabetes. Even on 3 BP medications I was living with 145/95+ on a daily basis. After 4 days I was 115/70. I’ve maintained a normal BP for over 2 weeks. In addition to this, my blood glucose levels are normal (80-100). Typically my glucose levels were 125-145. After my 7 day fast I’ve maintained one meal per day. I’m down 28 pounds, from 255 pounds to 227. Fasting works!!
Sweet deal. lt got worked out.
I fast 24 to 36 hours two times every week for 7 weeks and even that gave me so much energy. On my fasting days I am very motivated to move my body and my mind is so clear! I'm feeling like a new woman now! I lost a lot of my overweight and would really recommend to try it.
This is a great way to fast!
Ive lost 112lbs so far in 7 months doing 5 day fasting. 5 days of nothing but water eat for 2 days, water fast for 5 days eat for 2. I dont care what anyone tells me i am not giving up meat. When i eat i usually eat grass fed beef, or salads and fruits. I started at 462lbs, and i am currently 350lbs. Shooting to be between 260-280lbs
As far as the diet goes avoiding bad foods like sugar and seed oils is the key to health. However you will ultimately be deficient and frail on a long term vegan diet though it is fine for short term.
@@LTPottenger Yeah I mainly stick to Whole Foods. Ali junk food wake here and there but I really don't even like the taste of it anymore. I'm a big wrap person so I eat a lot of wraps with grilled chicken and all my veggies. I use high fiber and protein wraps to limit processed carbs
If that is what you like to eat dont deprive yourself of it.
Your story is inspirational. Much admiration 👍👍👍👍👍
Great, well done! thats my diet plan 12:12 for the rest of my life to maintain WL, once I've reached my goal of 40-45kg, currently at 68kg. Im doing a 49 day water fast. 23-28kg to go🥳
I was struggling with my weight when I was younger so I made up my mind that I would begin fasting..i started in June and by Xmas had lost 72 pounds...i was able to keep it off for the rest of the following years by using this same method. It made me feel very spiritual as the time passed n my body purified. Most people did not even know who I was because I changed so much. At the time I was 26 years old....Im now 65..
You went 6 months without eating?
@@goodnatured3925 Shoot if maintained properly it can go quite a while. One guy while being monitered went 353 days and felt like he could do more but felt his body was telling him to stop
Explain how you fasted?
Just a few months ago I had this strange pain and lump that started in my right breast. My right breast seemed to be swelling 😢. I decided to start my 30 days fast specifically 22hour fast with a small keto diet, enough hydration and no sugars for breaking the fast❤
Am currently on my 7th day and to my greatest surprise the lump and pain are no more 😮!!!. My breast is swelling no more😮
I confirmed with a breast scan and physical with a doctor and everything is very normal!!. I feel so good and get good sleep too❤
Congratulations!!! I'm so happy to hear that. Wishing you a continued abundance of health and wellness 💫
I think you prevented something big. That's is very good. It's good to do 1 week fasting once a year to prevent.
22 hr fast with a low carb diet is quite easy to do. With so much benefit, there's no reason to stop. I'd advise light exercise to preserve muscle mass. Otherwise, the muscles may be tapped for energy... if not used.
Awesome! God’s perfect plan
I am a young British guy, only 22, and just 13 minutes into this video I can say with confidence that Dr. Alan Goldhamer is the most intelligent person I've ever heard speaking in my entire life. Absolutely fascinating.
Also try dr Walter Longo 👍🏼
Dr. Guido Kroemer - this guy is on a whole different level of intelligence
I was about to hit 300 pounds when my depression got really bad. I started to fast and dropped 95 pounds and was able to keep it off until the beginning of covid. I gained back 20 pounds due to boredom and overeating which was on my part but even then I was still able to maintain my weight. I’m gonna start another fast for the month to get back to my last goal weight. But honestly this has helped so much. And one of the only things I was able to stick to.
🏆💜🌹👑
What type of fast and how long?
@@karmiettaIRL start with water fasts and drink electrolytes like Himalayan salt for sodium and potassium not more than one tb on your water Jason fung recommend 1 week to 2 week fast then break Your fast slowly with bone broth eggs or vegetables juices till your body gets used to eating back again you can lose 5 pounds of fat a week or more depending on your weight
Good for you!
did you have any loose skin when doing fasting
Just finished a life changing 30 day water only fast at TrueNorth Health Center. I couldn’t recommend it more!!!! And all because of this episode - thank you Rich.
what were the changes you had
@@mponcardas94 When I arrived I was in bad shape : pre-diabetic, high blood pressure, taking a statin med for high cholesterol, seriously overweight (330lbs) and sleep apnea. After the 30 day water fast my blood sugar and blood pressure dropped to normal healthy levels and I was able to get off my satin medication because my cholesterol had improved so much. Also I lost 65 lbs! I did gain 3 lbs back during the ‘re-feed’ which is normal. I still have sleep apnea but I am sleeping much better with so much weight off and the lower back pain that had made it hard for me to sleep went away completely. I should add that I ate a standard American diet before my TrueNorth experience and now am vegan. I am returning for another 30 day fast this summer!
@@eyeswideopen8629 about how much did it cost to go there for 30 days? How much did insurance cover?
@@eyeswideopen8629 thanks for sharing! Are you willing to share the cost of this experience/guided fasting service? I am considering going this spring.
The prices are stated on the website.
I did a 33 day fast and believe me it's more of a spiritual ordeal. Your senses become heightened as if you were taking an hallucigen. I have respect for those who say they've done 90 days because I can't imagine how deep that must feel.
I'm goinng for 60 days,
@@johntitorii6676 I found the return back to food unexpected. Foolishly I tried soup which felt like it burnt my insides so I quickly stopped. You can feel the journey food takes throughout you so I'd recommend going juice, smoothie and fruit route upon returning.
@@johntitorii6676how'd it go? Testimonial if you have time, please 🙏
Of course it feels that way. That's why people do it for spiritual experiences. Some will think it's God talking to them when it's just their own brains.
what about the frequency of bowel movements?
do people not do it for the duration of fasting?
I’m on day 34 of 40 day water fasting for religious purposes. It was hard especially around day 25-30 and nearly gave in but through prayer I managed to soldier on. I was not weighing myself but can see positive results. No pains in my joints. Am an emotional eater and hoping to develop a healthy relationship with food and I believe fasting would help. Planning to follow up with intermittent fasting and then after introduce water fasting for 3 days in a month.
40 days is nothing. Theres a guy that did 383 days. He was monitored by doctors and given a vitamin mineral solution . That being said the most I've done is 24 hours. I am starting to fast this week. 4 to 6 hour window of eating. One large meal and one smaller. This is day 5, I haven't eaten for 10 hours and am going insane. Seriously I don't know how you've done it 34 days. Well done mister. Just make sure you don't starve to death.
Stefanos Prokopis
What a way to motivate a sister my brother? Starting by saying 40 days is nothing? But I guess you were just trying to drive a point home. Seriously it was a big and scary thing to do. Having to do this all by myself without any medical supervision. Most people can’t do that it, so I won’t compare myself to anyone but me. I thank God for bringing me this far and will finish stronger. Don’t worry I won’t starve to death.
@@nanasekati8185 sorry I didn't mean to Demotivate you. You're right you shoudnt compare yourself to others. Because I was insensitive to you i am going to fast for another 12 hours on top of the 19 hours I set myself. Good luck to you and I hope you improve your health.
Stefanos Prokopis
All love brother ❤️ thank you and best of wishes on your fasting journey.
40 days in nothing but the longest you’ve ever done is 1 day? Just because one person fasted that long doesn’t mean that 40 days is nothing. She’s not getting minerals or being supervised by a doctor. And most people don’t make it 40 days. I think 40 days is pretty amazing!!!
Great job!!! I did 5 days this week and had a refresh day. Going right back in and trying for 14 days. Good to know to keep an eye out on days 25-30 because eventually I hope to strive for 40 days! I’m impresses with your 40 days!
Day 8 of my water fast! Down 20 pounds and my inflammation and pain are gone.
are you still doing it??
I can’t wait
20 pounds in 8 days? Wow
Well done!! How do you get passed the 1st 3 days?? I couldn't hold out any longer!
@@lachatnoir1127 I was at a place that served the no SOS diet (no salt, oil or sugar) so my cravings were easier to deal with, since their food just grossed me out after a couple of days. ;) I ended up doing 16 days total of water only.
My father died when he was 59 before suffering from diabetes and high cholesterol for about 9 years...I could not help him because I did not know about fasting at that time. As a Diabetes and Wellness coach, I take joy in helping other people's fathers and mothers to live longer through intermittent fasting...I spend hours and hours looking at hundreds of videos. I learn something valuable from each and every video I look at!
Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Can you tell me what you had to do to become a Diabetes and Wellness coach? I have wanted to do that too.
I am on day 2 of water only fasting. I have fasted before but never for emotional healing. I have been feeling anxiety, sadness and addiction to certain foods and I keep getting the nudge to fast and I am excited to feel the results.
How did you do 🙏
Hope you did well this is my exact reason for fasting that and to grow spiritually
@@youknowelgin I did 6 days and 7 nights and felt amazing. It was hard due to the conditioned habit of eating.
I studied at the Hippocrates Institute and fasted 40 days on the beaches of Florida...im 67...no health problems at all...
That's wonderful. Im 65 and am planning a fast soon. Thanks for sharing. Rather encouraging.
What type of fasting did you Do?
Like once? Or continuously
My dad was diagnosed with type 2 years ago. He refused drugs and changed his diet. He reversed the diabetes and at his last consultation the doc told him “do you know, you are the first diabetic patient I have ever discharged”

hows the fast been going christine?
Well, I am sorry to say I didn't make it too many days. Only 3 and a half before I just started feeling sick and weak all over. I am going to start over soon, but eliminate exercise and maybe spend more time resting. I am not deterred or discouraged however. It is all a process and a learning experience even when we cannot immediately do what we'd thought or planned. Thank you for asking. God bless and happy Easter 🙏
I'm on day 1 of my 21-day fast. I recently had these small bumps coming over my body after my period for the past 4 months. At first, I thought it was a heat bump, but I started to discover the pattern. The heat bump comes after five days of my period. It won't go away for about two weeks, and it is very painful. I started to google and found it to be an autoimmune condition called HS. Luckily, my one is not so severe, but it leaves behind scars. So far, I have had it around my armpits and my buttocks. I was completely shattered when I read that it was uncurable. The same day, I found a video about fasting, and some of them posted that they had recovered from autoimmune disease by fasting. Please pray for my recovery, guys ❤.
How are you doing? Hope all is well.
Hey did u get well??
After just finishing up a 40 hour water fast this podcast episode is launched! Divine Timing! Feeling so great and will try for 72 hours next time :)
I believe you need a least 3 days to get into ketosis mode. It is how you get out of the ketosis that is most important.

@deadbutdreaming Hi. What was wrong with your kidneys in the 1st place? Im asking cause I eat a mainly pkant based diet and I do once in a while a 4 days waterfast. Im 41 and was diagnosed with no symptoms at the age of 21 with hydronephrosis on left kidney.
@deadbutdreaming Thank you.
@deadbutdreaming Not drinking water is just brain-dead stupid.
I've been to True North twice. Fasted for 8 days. felt great.
The thing that interests me the most: with or without supplements? How frequently do they check your sodium levels, and stuff?
I usually fast with electrolytes (up to 7 days), so I find it amazing that people do it up to 40 days, without...
Aside from the addiction piece, we've also been conditioned to assume that if we are not feeling well, we need to consume something else. We've been told every solution is additive. Many solutions involve not doing something - but no one gets rich when we do less.
Yup, there is no money to be made with fasting.
This is so true omg
Amen
Reduce, re-use etc. I totally agree with. I wanna add Maybe if we stop consuming maybe we start having better relationships.
Looking for an accountability partner.. anyone? Please? Lets do this!
By largely following this healthy lifestyle I have not been sick in many years. I didn’t get Covid and I am thriving. Ty for telling it like it is
I’m officially 4 days into my fast. I thought that this would be the toughest task of my life, but it has been the complete opposite. My craving for food went out of the window after the second day. I thought that I would experience weakness, but I’ve actually gained strength that I didn’t know I possessed. I’ve also lost 9 pounds! This experience has been nothing short of amazing!
@Clark Kent thank you. I had to stay busy. Sleeping was also the next best thing. You’ve got this! I’d also be interested in an update about your experience
@Clark Kent I totally understand what you’re saying because I stopped cold turkey as well. I’ve only hit a j twice in 5 years. I also never smoked anything other than that. There are people who are still in awe that I quit the way that I did. They always ask how and why. I didn’t even crave it for about 3 years. It was so strange to me because I also went through 3-4 grams per day. The past two years is when the cravings came back, and that’s when the two hits came into play. It was all a mental thing for me. I trained myself to think different which led to me being different. I also believe in you because I can tell that you really want change from what you’re saying. Practice consistency, and things will change. You can also reach out to me on IG if you have one.
The first two days are usually horrible. After that, you generally lose the desire for food. If you can get through the first couple of days, you start to feel energetic even after many days. You'll probably have periods of tiredness or lightheadedness but those usually clear up if you lie down a while.
Just did a 7 day water only fast and it was the best thing I have ever done for my mental wellbeing. I am continuing on a ketogenic diet and it seems to keep the benefits going...ketones baby! To anyone struggling with depression / anxiety: PLEASE do yourself a favor and push thru the first 3 days and you will be amazed. I have bipolar and the mindset at the end of the fast was similar to the positive and energetic feeling I usually have on my manic episodes except NO irrability, NO grandiosity, NO impulsiveness, NO unrealistic thinking etc... my mind felt so patient, clear, focused, and in the moment, normal, happy. Got shit done, made plans, was relaxed and social with people, enjoyed the little things. Even had a chill good time with my parents! (alone worth the price of admission) Got to meet the good in myself and my surroundings after a long period of depression. This experience was magical and I have continued on with a new found confidence and inner peace. DO IT.
This is very encouraging and informative thank you!
@@starburst9053 Still going strong, keeping good habits and free of rumination and negative thought loops. Keto diet and light exercise. I had one (1) depressive panic like "attack" last week and immediately did a breathing exercise followed by a 30sec cold shower, stopped it in its tracks. Happy to have encouraged someone, best of luck!
Thanks for sharing! I’m happy for you
Thank you so much for sharing this! Congratulations to you. My husband has bipolar and I wonder how it would help him feel. I have to do this. You’re a light!!
I have told people since 2005 how one time when I was getting divorced, I did not eat for 40 days and on day 40, I had a strong electric buzz on the top of my head, and got off the floor with the most energy and least pain of my life.
Now you are Angel 😇 !
I’m fasting now and I have same feeling at the tip of my fingers.
"got off the floor"??
Type 1 diabetic here for 53 years. Fasted water only for 40 days. Worth it
Did your beta cells regenerate and are you producing insulin?
I’m water fasting 9 days at time, when I can’t stand it, I eat olives about 5…it satisfies me and I keep going! It works great! I’ve lost 40 pounds in 32 days now! This works folks! You can do it! It takes extra discipline. If you need salt, drink a little pickle juice or or olive juice or Himalayan salt water. Discipline is determination! Let your own body do the work!
Thank you!
How much weight can I lose on a 27 day water fast? I'm currently on my 3/27 day
Thank you 🙏
Great idea!!WoW… I love large cocktail olives. Forget the cocktail.. Bring the olives… ❤️
Good idea!! Once during a week fast I felt weak. I took a bite or two of Kim chi and then I was good!!
