VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Rick Ellis discusses the benefits of fasting for better health and longevity. - Jak na to + styl
I am 68 yrs old now; 5'8, started Jiu-Jitsu last week of December 2022; was 68kg. started to cut my food consumption, bought a blender and mixing fruits as my meal; I run 3 times a week, push ups, pull ups and doing my abs workout everyday; now I'm 60kg. got promoted to white belt 3 stripes and still trying to do Jiu-Jitsu training 5 days a week for 2.5hrs a day.
Damn, I’m 43 just completed my third session and am worn out. 😂 slowly working on my conditioning.
Love to hear it!
I just completed a 3-day fast. I love it. I have more energy when I roll. The energy that I get from fasting last for days is crazy! Oss 🤙🏾
Great advice fasting is amazing. Been doing it for a year and a half been in the best shape I’ve been in in the last 20 years.
I think it's crazy that so many of us are discovering similar truths at similar times. I hope that you keep sharing more about your fasting journey. So much of what you shared mirrors my own experience. I started carnivore last year in July. It absolutely changed my life. I'm 50 now and the list of ailments that went away was incredibly long. I lost 45 lbs. I feel like I'm 25. I incorporated weekly 48 hour fasts into my routine as well. A month ago I started jiu jitsu which based on how I felt a year ago... well, it was beyond my wildest dreams to be able to do such a thing. That's not hyperbole. I have noticed when the inflammation is gone from my body, I recover quickly and hardly get sore. Instead of getting "old man" sore where you get more and more sore for several days, I feel a little sore the next day but it's more like "young man" sore which is more like a 24 hour cycle. At any rate, thank you for sharing. I'll be doing this for the rest of my life as well.
Fasting and meditation indeed bring you closer to our source energy....love your content...thanks man....i'm 4 classes into my jiu-jitsu journey at 49 years old....kicking myself for waiting as long as i have!!!...if anyone's on the fence about jiu-jitsu...do it!!!!!
No better time than today!
Another suggestion for breaking the fast: Eat 4 green olives and drink a cup of tea. It has always helped me if I get too hungry during fasts. This was another amazing video, Rick. Thanks!
Fasted exercise is amazing. Definitely something to try.
Fantastic to see Rick’s vids after a long while and a great topic too.
This is the inspo I need to do a longer fast, which I keep putting off! I do intermittent fasting, but I totally agree with your point that to get the full benefits 24hr plus is necessary.
Great video, I'm currently off the mats due to an injury and started gaining weight, definitely want to try it now.
I appreciate this video I was thinking about starting to fast, because I struggle with weight and trying to go to a lower weight class for a tournament.
Great video 👏👏
Fasting is definitely spiritual.. and it’s a way to tame and control your body
Great stuff, Rick! There's always been misinformation and resistance on ketosis and fasting. It usually takes a sports platform to verify these new age ideas. A BJJ practitioner like yourself is a great spokesperson. I hope in about 5 years, if not sooner, this stuff will be common knowledge and widely accepted.
fasting also denies the physical body (i call it the rubbersuit) which allows some of us to wake up and see our true-self, our spiritual body. we are spiritual beings going thru a human experience, not human beings seeking spirituality 😍
Thanks for sharing, love your videos🙂 im 43 now and been on my Jiu Jistu journey now for 2 years and trying to be better everday. If fasting gives you more energy would you recomend it before a competition?
Hello Professor..can you share resources on how to fast properly? Im interested to try it😊
Great video. We are going through fasting in our small group at church. Tons of references in the Bible. I know it’s not the topic of this video - but there is certainly truth in fasting. There is Biblical truth and scientific proof that fasting is legit - fascinating study and I’m loving the fasting journey so far.
Great video! When you are not fasting, do you have any dietary restrictions? Low carb, no carb, etc.
Nice 👍
I dont have energy rolling while fasting. I usually just fast on days i dont roll now.
It takes time to adapt, no need to rush it.
Beef bone broth helps me get through long fasts.
Me too.
Jordan Peterson has a great podcast with Dr. Chris Palmer about this. I highly recommend it. The general gist was that Keto and Carnivore diets simulate fasting which tricks the body into thinking it’s on a fast.
It doesn't trick the body, you're just not giving it carbs, ergo no glucose is made. There's a major difference, though. You don't get autophagy and other benefits of a true fast if you're eating.
@@TheArtofSkill Ahh, it’s possible I oversimplified the discussion in the podcast. 😃. Still was a great podcast with lots of cutting edge info.
I enjoy your info in general but this is a great topic. I have been doing roughly 18:6 IF for a while and the results when I started were definitely noticeable. Nowadays, not so much. How does a 24-36 or you even mentioned 48 x hour fast affect your stamina etc on the mat? Thanks!
I feel very energetic during fasts (once I get to about hour 36 or so). It takes much energy to digest food. Eliminate that and your body can use that energy for other things.
I did my first prolonged fast a few weeks ago. Went 7 days and really enjoyed it. Wanted to go longer but just ended it at day 7. I did another 3 day fast within 4 days of that but after 72 hours hadn’t lost any weight. I assume my metabolism had just stopped. Have you had anything similar when going back to back like that. I still benefited but the weight loss wasn’t there.
If your metabolism stopped, you'd be dead.
You should try Carnivore, do it for 3 months, you are going to love the results.
No
If you want to pretend the last 50 years of nutrition science and medical research hasn't happened sure.
If you don't mind ignoring the last 50 years of nutrition science...
What is you your favorite method of fasting ? One day water fast, two day water fast, one meal a day etc? I am reading alot about the subject and three day water fast seems like the most beneficial one or the one most people like/talk about. And how often do you perfom your favorite fasting method ?Thanks in advance.
I don't have a definitive answer yet because I'm still experimenting with some different lengths. My first 4 fasts were 36 hours each, and I did them once a week for 4 weeks. I like that protocol because it's pretty easy if you’re just getting started and you definitely get some benefits from it. Dropped 10 pounds in a month doing that.
But you're right, the longer ones give you more of the benefits, but you need to space them out more. I did a 4 day fast earlier this week, so I probably won't do another one for a few weeks. Still learning about this myself so I don’t have a solid answer for you.
@@TheArtofSkill thank you very much, the answer you provided will still help me get started in the right direction.
Thx for the advice. Can you drink any non caloric drinks, like thee or coffie without sugar and milk during the fast ?
My understanding is that the benefits of fasting come from caloric restriction during certain times. So as long as you’re not consuming calories, you should be fine.
There is also dry-fasting (no fluids or food) which is apparently more potent but cannot be done for as long of an intervals as “wet fasting” (water and tea permitted but no food) due to risk of dehydration.
Black coffee and water are the only things i'll consume!
water, black coffee, and tea is what I drink.
And the taste of food at the end of fasting...
Yes! Amazing.
The "g" is pronounced very differently 🤣 There is no such sound in English, it sounds a bit harsh.
How small the world is! I used to train BJJ in Nijmegen a couple of years ago. That was at Agoge BJJ, which also is a great club. You are in great shape by the way. I will try out fasting some time myself.
You mentioned low back surgery - was this disc related? Am rehabibg my low back at the moment from hernited discs
I had a microdiscectomy due to a blown disc that was pressing on my sciatic nerve.
I have a similar issue. Am trying to rehab without surgery. Trying to get back into bjj, mostly playing half guard to try to avoid irritating it. How long did it take you to return to the mats post-op and would you still recommend going the surgical route?@@TheArtofSkill
@@tylergrech5075I had no choice but to get surgery because I lost the ability to control my calf due to a nerve impingement, and the pain was excruciating. Took me about 6 months to come back post-surgery. It was an easy surgery. I had tried to train though the bulging disc and for a while I was able to, but ultimately I made the problem much worse so I had no choice but to get cut.
You have the genetic mutation that causes you to morph into the Incredible Hulk when your on the mats
What is your go to meal choice right after a typical fast?
Usually a cup of bone broth and about an hour later, a small meal like eggs and avocado.
On the days you fast do you skip jiu jitsu? Or do you still work out?
@@trankenx1626The first couple times I fasted I didn't train, but I feel so good fasted that now I go to the gym or train bjj and feel great.
@TheArtofSkill thanks for the reply! 😁
Do you feel your sexual virility increases when you are fasting ? Or do you see any positive effects to your sex drive etc ?
Yes, definitely positive impact. I assume it's due to the testosterone surge you get while fasting.
There is little evidence that longevity is increased in humans like it is in rodents.There is also no solid evidence that fasting has any beneficial effects over and above calorie restriction that it results in, and that include the much hyped autophagy. Autophagy is happening all the time, eating or not. Fasting increases it for sure but once you stop fasting, then it goes back to normal. If you just cut cals, the autophagy rises but not to quite the same level but then it doesn't drop off so fast either. In the end, it works out the same. If fasting helps you keep a healthy weight and you like how it makes you feel then that's great. Personally ketosis makes me feel dreadful and makes my breath smell.
We Muslims are fasting a full month (Ramadan) no eat no drink from before sunrise till sunset
I’m actually getting a bit fed up of middle aged men on TRT flexing with their abs… I mean yeah dude, with drugs it’s not that hard.
Yes, I’m referring to your thumbnail.
Unpopular and brutally honest take 👍
Why so salty bro!!!!
A bit rude yeah, but I'd like to hear what Rick has to say about it .. natty or not?
I'm not on TRT, and I'm not particularly muscular but I'm sitting around 12 percent body fat. Get lean and you'll see some abs. Not against TRT at all. It's a game changer for many older guys. I just don't need it yet.
No wonder youre inflammed. Suggesting cheese and ham. 😂
