    This is a bit extreme. At least for me. I can't speak for everyone, but I can speak for me. On that note I've completed a 21 day fast a few times. I never had hallucinations of my furniture turning into food. I still have all my teeth. I didn't turn into skin and bones in the process. I was hangry in the three days, but that passes. Finally breaking the fast takes a little while to get back to eating normal.

      I am curious because i really would like to try this sometime, i always like experimenting with diets and food and challenging myself but i have some questions.
      Did you take electrolytes that don't break your fast?
      Did you experience much muscle loss?
      Did you lose much strength? This is what worries me the most because i work heavy physical labour and train 6 times a week.

    I've water fasted multiple times, longest for for 3 weeks. I stop being hungry around day 3/4 and it was pretty easy after that. I felt zero of these horrible side effects, so I'm assuming these things only happen when you're actually starving and not living off of your fat reserves. I lost about 15 lbs, which was pretty cool.

      They are. You can survive for months without food. You do feel sluggish after a few days but not within the first few days. The sluggishness comes from your body reserving energy.

    The longest I haven’t eaten for was four days. The biggest effect I noticed was my mood. I was extremely irritable. I felt weak but I was still able to do everything I could while eating. For me, it was unhealthy. I was addicted to starving myself. I felt so good when I looked at other people eating and knowing that I was ‘stronger’. I had an eating disorder. Even though the longest I hadn’t eaten for four straight days only once, it was starving myself and then binging long before and long after that. I never saw my bed turn into a burger though. One weird thing was that once, I was brushing my teeth and reallyyyyyy wanted to eat it. It tasted so good in that moment. It was really weird.

      If I were you I would gradually increase my fasting time from intermittent fasting 16:8, after 2 weeks do OMAD 23:1 for other 2 weeks and then do water fasting for 2 or 3 days.
      After your body is really used to fasting you can even extend your water fasting for 1 week and so on. I’ve personally extended it just for 3 days and I sometimes do alternate day fasting, meaning that I spend 48 hours without eating, and either way you lost heck ton of weight in short time.

      Well, in some countries arachnids are both large and extremely dangerous. For example, in much of the Middle East there is a rather large quantity of people who are deathly afraid of arachnids. So much so that the CIA actually utilized both scorpions and tarantulas to psychologically torture suspected terrorists for information. It’s been known for generations that arachnophobia is prevalent in that region. There’s significantly more to it then just that though, and there are far more groups that suffer from arachnophobia. But there’s a lot more research out there than I can recall. Very fascinating subject

    I fasted for 50 days earlier this year and lost 61lbs. I felt stable energy throughout, amazing mental focus and clarity, and had blood work done on day 41 showing no deficiencies in vitamins or minerals. I did supplement electrolytes and took a daily multivitamin, but I went from 258 lbs to 197 lbs in those 50 days and greatly improved my health. While it definitely requires enough body fat to sustain a long term fast, your body does not break down significant muscle mass while fasting. I will say that cycling shorter fasts is probably more sustainable for significant weight loss because of less need to refeed carefully and less rebound weight gain, but prolonged fasting has many significant health benefits and is far from what this fear mongering propaganda video would have you believe.

    As a struggling anorexic about a couple months or so ago I would've said this video is nonsense. I've gone weeks on just water and soymilk, and been able to fully function, running and jumping, working and everything with a mood better than it'd ever been.
    But right now I've lost almost 20 pounds in two weeks, while having already been slender. Which had never happened before. After a certain point it isn't that your body becomes just fine as much as your mind gets very good at convincing you that you're A-OK up until a certain point in order to keep you from panicking or seeking hope in a hopeless situation, which would compromise survival. It's like how people with terrible injuries like losing arms or being impaled can just seemingly shrug them off due to all the adrenaline in their body. Or how people going through trauma can dissociate or "zone out", mentally leaving so they don't know or feel what's happening to their bodies. I felt light, happy, elated and in a wonderful mood. Up until I'd noticed that my joints were constantly "popping" and everything hurt more for reasons I couldn't understand. Then the reality came crashing in and suddenly I was all but bedridden. Feeling cold is also spot-on as are the mood swings till the dissociation hits. Starving and fasting can bring the most euphoric highs and pleasantness. That's why it's so dangerous too, because it then becomes addictive for many. But right now, I think I feel a lot better now that I'm eating again.

    I went through a bought of depression and didn't eat a bite of food in over a month. I got to the point to where I couldn't get off my couch. My sister took me to the emergency room. I hadn't had a BM for 2 weeks and was barely urinating and when I did it was extremely dark. Once at the emergency room I found out I had lost 22 pounds and I was extremely dehydrated! I had to be hospitalized for over 24 hours. They had to give me something to drink to coat my stomach because my stomach acid was completely out of whack. I was put on fluids and glucose. It took me over a month to eat a full meal. I had to start with mashed potatoes at a half of a cup at a time. I will never do that again.

    Would be a little more lethargic but after that couple of days would drop 5-10 pounds and had a lower appetite. Does lower your metabolism though during the fasting so when you start to eat again if you go straight to fatty foods you'll bloat up pretty quickly.

    I've fasted for four weeks before while taking vitamin and mineral supplements, after the first day I wasn't hungry again until about 5 days later, but even that went away, I was just living my regular life, I would have sugar free gum, black coffee, and water. Eventually I did feel like was looking less muscular in the mirror so I resumed eating by drinking soups and broths. I suffered no health defects and enjoyed being able to see my abs for the first time since bootcamp. Four weeks of fasting brought me down from about 18% bodyfat to 6%, and I was none the worse off, I filled up quickly and recovered my lost muscle mass. Although it was great for about two months I eventually gained back the fat I lost, so if you wanna quick motivation boost(or wanna take pics) fastings great IMO, but not for long term maintenance or progress.

      I made up my mind that looks are everything so I HAVE to fit in these body standards. I was pretty young at that time and didn't have any knowledge about healthy dieting so I just pushed myself day by day. My immune system got weak and I was diagnosed with an illness so that experience was an eye opener and I would never do something like that every again in my life.

    I think its important to clear the fact that...this doesn't really happen so quickly
    You take around 3 days to finish the glucose supply in your body, after 3 days you start using muscle instead of body fat to make energy.
    After 2-3 weeks is when your organs start decreasing in size, but it doesn't happen so rapidly.
    You don't usually feel tired all the time, in fact you may feel more energized.
    But again, all this depends on the amount of body fat you have.
    If you're very very skinny, what is said in the video might happen to you.
    If you're overweight, you'll have enough glucose to last you a while
    There was once a case where a severely overweight guy went on a fast for 382 days, under the supervision of doctors, and he was given enough multivitamins
    He dropped from 465lbs to 180lbs by the end of 382 days

    Hmmm... I wish to provide some insight about ketones. These molecules or particles, we can call them as ever you wish. The science community from valid experts still argue about the sources of ketone bodies (I mean to referring to the structure of source).
    Biological or chemical, still been under research by valid experts.
    On my side I started to do periodic fasting, not that long and so insanely as portraited in the video. The idea as like described in the video for fun now. But to not lose the practical sense of what am I talking about.
    The ketone bodies work through themselves with side-processes, which means that HGH (Human Growth Hormone) also increase in number by 7x times. If you also combine your periodic fasting with moderate rate of exercise... Like walk a bit more or do HIIT. You can introduce a muscle-preservation measure and that is the desired result caused by the 20-40x times increased rate of HGH in your immune system, which is only uses your stored fat for energy usage. But that is can be repeated after a certain period of time. Like your body also does some adjustments as the glucose turn down nearly zero in your body (absolute zero is impossible). Some good note: Like self-eating: Recycle or throws-out garbage proteins and cells.
    The body also starts to use lesser amount of protein particles, to rebuild or deconstruct your muscle tissue. It means the next in English: Your body starts to switch off and on certain hormone balancing measures, depending on sources of fuel or quality of activities. Like your insulin resistance very slowly, but gradually turn more sensitive. It means usually turn much less reactive and remains in the healthy range, when your cells start to get more signals and require carbs/sugar as fuel.

    but i did have fatiuge and stomach aches, and i was very hangry and grumpy! and i lost weight and gained weight because i'd eat sooo much at night but it'd all go down as i didnt eat in the morning!
    but this process made me more calmer and happier
