This video is all about water fasting and how it can be so beneficial to your health and wellness.
This is a special episode because I'm going to reveal to you my personal three-day water fasting protocol that I do several times per year.
Water fasting delivers profound benefits, from activating your immune system and stem cells to getting rid of cellular garbage, and so much more.
Now, if you know anything about the Fit Father Project, you know that intermittent fasting is a regular recommendation.
A 24-hour fast is great because it's something you can do every single week. You have dinner one day, then just drink water, coffee, and/or green tea until dinner the next day.
You can get even more benefits the longer you fast, but that’s not always easy to do!
So, I feel that a three-day fast is a sweet spot between getting maximum benefits without it being a super long and difficult fast.
I know what you’re thinking: a three-day water fast sounds crazy.
But, people water fast for 7, 10 days, and there’s even a case study of a man who water fasted for an entire year!
The point is, the body can survive water fasting, and for most people, it’s not detrimental to their health.
So, yes, fasting is appropriate for people who want to lose weight or improve their health.
However, it is not safe for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of any kind of eating disorder.
Also, people who are on medication to manage diabetes or blood sugar, or if they need to take certain medications with food, should not fast.

The only time I watch fasting videos on CZcams is while I'm doing one--like right now! 48 hours into a 72 hour stretch. Feeling good!
How was it?
Same for the motivation 💪🏼💪🏼
good job! good idea! I have hit a wall at 48 hours in the past, I saw dana whites suggested fast with bone broth in small amounts and that helped get over that hurdle
I think the more you do it the easier it gets. I really struggled to get to 72 hours
I've never connected more to a comment. Exactly 48 hours in on my 72 and never watch fasting videos
First time doing 3 day fast. I am 71 years young. Will complete 6pm tonight. I feel fine.
Congrats!! ✨😄💫
51hours into a 72hour fast and feel great. We got this
I am at hour 49 out of 72. Right there with you.
@@ShawnStaplesFreeGuitarLessonshow’s it going? ^^
@@not_right_now Feeling low energy today which was predicted, pretty much every thing predicted happened. Mental clarity at the 24 hour mark. Slight headaches 24 to 48 mark and low energy today. The weird thing predicted, skin will look better which I did not believe but I can not believe it I have some dry skin areas on my face and are 80% gone. Also I am a professional guitarist and I have slight inflammation and my hand feels better. How about you?
@@ShawnStaplesFreeGuitarLessons Your results seem promising ^^ I’m halfway done, 36 hours left, slight headache and not much hunger. Had salivary gland swelling due to inflammation (it keeps coming and going) it seems to have been reduced a bit. I’m glad your inflammation reduced
@@ShawnStaplesFreeGuitarLessons btw, how did u maintain proper electrolyte intake?
HELLO I have epilepsy and I got real sick and my Doctor told me to go get my affairs' in order she told me she would never see me again in this life time I went home and I was reading my Bible and God told me to fast for forty day to save my life I fasted in week three my friends told me I stink I told them I was fasting and my body is cleaning its self up it was the best time of my like I felt good I was shocked how great I felt I fasted forty three days I did not want to stop my fast If your sick or healthy you need to clean your body Jesus told us all to God Bless you all.
Amazing 🙏
Very brave. Sick people are scared of fasting, but it probably is what most of them need. I fasted several times when I was very sick - low white blood cells, parasite infestation, depression, inflammation etc. Guess what, on day 4 of a water fast, the body releases new white blood cells LOL. Sorted out my immune system in 4 days! And I had digestive issues as well. I did 2 weeks of water fasts at a time, then a week of eating light foods, followed by another 2 weeks of water fasts.
Amazing brother! 💪
So, did you get rid of your epilepsy?
@@mrteyssere probably not just helps the ketones for us w epilepsy the keto diet was designed for epilepsy patients back in the day
I am 18 hours into a minimum 3 day water fast. I keep watching these videos to keep me going. Thank you.
I did 68 hours my first time trying a water fast. I'm currently at 28 hours and feeling great. I'm not holding myself to a certain time period. I'm just going with the flow. Watching videos like this help immensely to stay focused on why I'm doing this. Thank you
TY for this comment! It legit makes me very happy that you found this so helpful.
I’m on my third day fast and haven’t felt hungry. I’m going to see how I feel and either stop today or go for two more days for five days, or even seven. I guess I’ll see how it goes. I’ve been listening to fasting utubes to help me stay focussed and to plan how to reseed wisely.
@@mazsroy9 good luck!
@@Fitfatherprojectwill a 3 day fast burn muscle
I think the first 24-30hrs is the hardest
Completing my first 72 hour fast. I'm 60 and it's pretty easy to power through the hunger after one day. The second and third days have been easy. I have beef bone broth standing by when I break the fast in a few hours. Looking forward to it.
I've been doing 18-6 for about 4 days, very new to this, I've been thinking about a 72hr fast, any advice for the first time? Or if I even should this quickly, maybe wait a month or so on the 18-6?
Always trying to be the best in the class….
@@Bnathann I am 59 yrs old, I am on my 3rd day and I struggled on the 2nd day, I was shaky when I woke up and very irritable. I think it is better to start tapering off from food before you jump into the 3day fast. I jumped into it without any preparation. Since you are doing intermittent fasting it might be a-good idea to continue for a few days and start reducing the amount of food you are already eating while doing your intermittent fasting. Then jump into the 3 day fast. I only had water with a pinch of salt. I had a slight headache but I noticed that a lot of my aches and pains have subsided.
@Flow888100 Thanks alot.
I'm on day 3 of my fast. I'm feel good. This is the 3 time I've done this in the last year. I recommend this to everyone. 😊
I did the 10 day water fast in January of 2015. I didn't really lose a lot of visible weight but I dropped like 11 pounds and it totally improved my digestion. I also used to have the birthmark on my face, under my eye... I always thought it was a birth mark but after the fast it was GONE. So it must have been some type of rash that had been there most of my life.
Wow amazing brother 💪
my acne scars faded after 3 day water fast
Wow 🙏
I also had an inflamed blemish from sun damage that I had for 30 years disappear. I’ve also been plagued by blackheads on my nose all my life - totally cleared up. If that’s happening on the outside imagine what’s going on inside.
@@vipuljain5514 hey Vipul are you feeling better after refeed i want to try 3 days i do 24 hrs once a week
I am a day and half into my 3 day fast. I searched for informational videos to keep me focused and motivated and you nailed it! Thank you. I tried to start last week and had several fails. I am determined to complete it this time. Half way there 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Another great source for women and how to fast based on women’s hormones is Dr. Mindy Pelz ! Check her out!
Great luck! I am in the same boat. I have fasted before but currently I am struggling.
how did it go?
How did you do?
Are you still alive?
I did a 3 day a week fast every week for 7 months I lost 0ver 60 pounds
3 days consecutive? Or some other pattern?
@@onesheistysounds like 3 consecutive days. It’s a great idea!
im doing that now to fix the damage ive done while eating junk food
I'm on hour 30 now. Was a rough night sleeping on an empty stomach so hoping tonight will be better. Thanks for the info in the video. Very helpful and I hope it works out well for me. Good luck to all who are currently on this 72 hour fast.
Once you get used to fasting, three days feels like you skipped one meal, it’s pretty incredible.
I fasted for 72 hours and then celebrated with friends at a Mexican restaurant. Big mistake! I got very light-headed my vision dimmed, I felt like I was about to pass out and it took me several hours to get over it. Eat very lightly after a long fast.
🙏
I did something similar after my first 48 hour fast. Was wiped out for the two days following and also had agonising stomach cramps. Luckily I educated myself on how to ease back into eating before my next fast and avoided shitting water.
What should I eat after a 4 day fast then?
@@dracowuhan7536 I usually break a long fast with half a avocado with an egg. Let it settle for an hour or two then you can eat something else not too heavy. The following day I’m ok to eat normal again.
@@dracowuhan7536coconut water, bone broth, avocado. Never break your fast with raw veggies!!! 🚽
I am at 47 hours as of now. Day 2 was a little tougher than day 1. I'm hopeful I will complete the 72 hours tomorrow at 10:30 pm! This is my 1st time attempting a fast this intense. I do intermittent fasting daily, usually 14 hours. So I'm not completely taken back by the feeling, but it has been a journey making it to two days! I hope when I wake up tomorrow I'll have that burst of energy to complete 72 🙏🏽 God bless all who participate!
Did you make it😮
How was it @@ckantrel1977
It gets better after the 3rd or 4th day fasting is amazing love fasting !! How did you make out?
Lots of useful information at a great pace. Thanks for not wasting my time.
I've done this 2 other times in the past 6months. This is is my 3rd one and I'm at the end of the 2nd day. I keep fantasizing about food, bought groceries and can't wait to cook again lol I was thinking of stopping early but this video and the comments are making me think I should definitely stick it out again.
Awesome my friend!
This is my second 3 day fast, and I keep learning new things! I'm still drinking my black coffee and green tea. Now, I'm adding mineral water. I'm doing it more for the cancer cell fighting aspect, but the fat loss is certainly a plus. Cheers to fast detox! Thanks for all the helpful info!
YW for this comment! It legit makes me very happy that you found this so helpful.
Keep it going man I believe in you. Fight
how much weight did you loose in 3 days please?
@@Fitfatherprojectdoes a 3 day fast burn muscle
Do you know how toxic coffee is? Coffee is known to contain up to 40 different pesticides and people can't understand why they get cancer.
Very good information. i made a lifestyle change this year to between 16/8 and 21/3 fasting.. with 48 and 72 thrown in during the year. i will say this, 72 was ROUGH... i had done 48's with no issues what so ever, but 72 pushed my limits.. the last 6hrs of day 3 were pretty tough. weak.. and HANGRY! i pushed through but man.. it was rough. i do plan on throwing in 48's and maybe another 72 during the year and information like yours does help ALOT! thank you..
Awesome my friend! You're very welcome 🙏
Excellent video/info. Also, you speak quickly and clearly with what we need to know. Thank you.
I’m at the end of day two and I feel amazing 🤩 Thank God and thank you Doc… Let’s heal together and practice health excellence
Awesome my friend! You're very welcome 🙏 😊
Lots of CZcamsrs only talk about the fast and they ignore talking about how to break the fast which is more important than the fast itself. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.🙏🏼👍🏼
You’re very welcome! I’m glad you found this valuable 🙏🏼
Before watching this I didn’t know how to break a fast!
I break my fast with apple cider vinegar and coconut oil.
Completed 21 days....dropped 60 lbs...if on meds consult with Dr. before attempting.
Amazing content my man , absolutely brilliant. God Bless You 😃👌🙏
So glad you addressed some of the less charming ways on might feel! I have been feeling like crap on day 2 & every other video I have seen just spoke about how great you will be feeling by this time in the fast! Good to know this can also be part of the process!
Bout to start my 1st 3 day fast i'm really excited to try this. This was one of the most helpful videos i found on CZcams thanks ill tap back in after my 3 days
I did a 3 day water fast last week for the first time. It was a brilliant experience.
I Will be doing 3 day fast 4 times a year now
Really felt it helped reset me both mentally and physically
Good! Makes me very happy to hear 💪🏼🔥
I’m on day 2 post 3 day water fast. I don’t know why I’m exhausted and my energy levels are low and my head hurts. First day I broke my fast with green juice. Second day I took a bowl of cooked cabbage and 3 eggs. I took magnesium and minerals during the fasting. I don’t know what’s wrong
Hey Repetto, you may have experienced those symptoms because you were dehydrated and/or deficient in some vital minerals. Next time, consider staying much more hydrated with some additional Pink Himalayan Sea Salt or mineral drops to help prevent these deficiencies.
-The FFP Team
@@Fitfatherproject thank you 🙏🏻 next time i will make sure to add more Himalayan salt and maybe drink more water
@@Fitfatherprojectcan O take Himalayan salt if I have high blood pressure? Thanks 😊
Wow, great explanation, very informative. Thanks for your work. ❤
This is a great water fasting video. You answered all the questioned I had about fasting. Excellent info
Thank you very much 🙏
Hello community! I did my first 3 day fast last week, and over the weekend, 3 days later, when I went out to eat, I noticed that I was getting full quickly and also, my body rejected food that wasn't healthy. I think it is because while fasting, on my "weak " moments, I was trying to eat something, usually junk food, and kept telling myself, this is not healthy for you. So I did that for as long as I fasted and realized that I wasn't training my body, I was training my mind to eat healthier. Today, I'm starting another 3 days, and I feel great about it. Y'all can do it,let's give it a try, and you will see the great results and the difference in mindset afterwards. 👌 😊
Would I still be able to keep up the rigorous pace at work while doing a water only fast?
@vamplord111 I don't think so. Maybe for the first day, remember your body is going to use what's stored in it as energy, and since your not adding more of it, that means that you'll accelerate the burning process.
@@Vamplord111 start with a one day fast and see how you feel. If you were able to do that, next try a two day and see how you feel. If that works then next time try the three day.
Break the fast with soups all day it juices
I heard a CZcamsr talk about the first food being introduced back in needs to be ultra, healthy and light, because the body acts like a sponge. You’re resetting the body‘s response to nutrition, and if you throw junk food in there to come off of fast, the body slurps all that up and gets shocked by the fact it’s not actually food or nutrition so to speak. As I say to people, just because it fits in your mouth, does it mean it’s actually food. But it’s very critical to have high nutrient, dense food coming off of fast to help give your body nutrition It’s looking for to reset it properly. Of course you probably already know this.
My intuition told me to fast before my 40th birthday to clear out. This week I caught a virus decided to start. I’m at 46 hours. I don’t know how far I’ll go but I feel much better and I will do 3 days once a month moving forward ❤
🙏
Thank u so much for sharing your thoughts and knowledge 🙏
As usual, relevant, clear, insightful! Thanks a lot
You're very welcome 🙏
Love this dude so everybody got there fasting story’s and it’s super impressive I never fasted before my first time was a week ago and I only went 24 hours then I got cranky and ate something but since then I’ve only ate one meal a day (dinner) and it’s amazing how much you can take out of something like fasting. Our ancestors didn’t have the luxury to eat what they wanted when they wanted. By not eating 3 meals a day I realize how much clearer I think and how to conserve my energy. Next time I’m doing 48 hours but it’s definitely part of my lifestyle tho thanks for the video bro wish I saw this when I was fasting probably would of made it to 48
xYou’re welcome brother! I’m glad you found this vid and got a lot out of it 🙏🏼🔥💯
At age 70 I haven't been sick a day in my life. The older I get the less food I need. Don't eat after lunch. Have lots of fat and lard stored so will try a 3 day water fast.
Awesome my friend 🙏
I don't eat during the day, I eat only at night.
It was way easier to isolate & do 5 day fasts w/my husband. I’m currently day 3 of 5 day fasting & cooking for kids & husband. Bc I’m not eating, I’m learning about how much eating is something I do not just from hunger but habit, or eating & taste testing while cooking. I’m looking so forward to how crazy great I feel when it’s over! Thanks 🙏 for great info! PS: I’ve heard from Keto channels to drink pickle juice for salt…
Awesome my friend! TY 🙌💪
It's great to know i am not alone)) I am also cooking for the husband and 3 kids while fasting... sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's not 😅
I'm cooking and fasting aswell
Starting my fast with my partner we’re 16 hours in so far hunger is kicking a little but the water is suppressing it a bit. This has motivated me to push through it!
Awesome my friend! Keep at it 🙏
How did it go? Did you go 3 days? I'm doing my 4th fast of more than 20 hours right now. I did 23h, 25h and 37h recently so I'm aiming for 48 hours this time.
25 hours in and about to go to bed so looking good.
I like the way you explained everything. You got a new subscriber here. I'm only 24 hours in.

Coming up to 48 hours in on my first 3 day fast. I’ve done a couple of 48 hours previously so know what to expect on day 2 - general lethargy and intense hunger that abates as the day progresses. I’m actually quite excited to go into day 3 to see how I feel. I’ll feel great whatever as I know there’s the trophy (food) at the end of it.
Awesome my friend!
Thank you so much for this episode, brother! ❤️
I`m getting ready for mine and this video is such big help!
Great video! A scant 18 hours into a 3-Day (my second ever)…For me, the mental part is definitely the most challenging. Informative, motivating, and perfect scope. 🙌
For me it's the extreme hunger pangs...mentally it's fun knowing every hour that passes your burning fat...when your eating even small amounts you can't be assured your in fat burning mode but you most certainly know your burning fat after 24 hours
Awesome my friend! Thank you very much 😊
🙌
I got SOOO excited when you said fruit is best to break fasts, i've started incorporating so much more fruit in my life by eating that for break fast everyday then i also did a 10 day fruit fast.
unfortunately I have in past day 10 and ate a burrito at like 1 am, but then i decided to research more about prolonged fasting (longest i've done is 3/4 days.
I'm currently now on 84+ hrs of my current fast and it's such an experience, i hope everyone eventually reaches this knowledge to give themself the best gift of all, letting go.
Awesome my friend! TY 🙌
Fruit is very hard on the liver since it is the only digestion pathway for fructose. Might wanna look into bone broth, fats, proteins, and vegetables to break fast in the future. I personally disagree with breaking a fast with fruit since it’s so shocking to the body to bring in that much sugar.
@@Beowulf-wt3kb avocado works too.
Thanks for sharing this, was very informative n interesting. Had no idea the body mechanics that change because of fasting . Definitely going to try some water fasts .

Great Video, my wife and I are on our third day of Fasting. I'm now a Fan, awesome information....
Thanks exactly the info I needed and all in under 30 minutes
!
You're so welcome! I'm glad you found this so helpful :-)
A couple things I'd suggest different with 3 plus day water fasting is to prepare for it by not eating and junk food 3-5 day prior to fasting and I prefer to start my 3 plus day water fast right after lunch so I start the ketos process earlier and when I break my fast I'm not eating til 5pm. Adding gratitude meditation to fasting also really helps the endocrine system be more balanced as well helps with keeping you in high vibration so we are not "hangry"
💪
Excellent video Dr. A. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Thank you so much for making this video, you've really got me fired up, to the point where I am considering trying it this weekend as I have done a few 24 hour water fasts this year successfully. My one question would be regarding taking medications & supplements specifically BP medication & then vitamin D, omega 3 fish oil capsules & magnesium?
Thanks again my friend.🙏🏽
Hey Scott, thanks for writing in and we appreciate the kind words. Check out the following guide in terms of when to take your supplements, especially around fasts. Medications are a different ballgame though as your doctor will have to help determine the right course of action for you.

About to start the fast today and this is motivating! I may incorporate bone broth on day 2. Appreciate the guidance!
Great information! Thanks
Nice video. Usually I do a dry fast on the first day, then water fast the next 2 days. I might add a 4th day where I do a broth, vegetable, or herbal tea fast or a combination of the three. After that I add soft foods to transition into eating solids.
Awesome my friend! Thank you very much 🙏
I'm currently on the end of day 1 on my 3 day water fast, thats how I've found you, it's my 2nd time, and from now on I want to do this every month, I'm determined, although I drink 0 kcal drinks like eaa and bcaa drink, but I like how it affects my body

Awesome my friend! Please share your experience 🙏
But you should not gorge on food while breaking a fast like you generally do during Ramadaan, thereby ruining all the benefits of fasting.
Muslims be like: I'm so pure and morally superior, I """fast""" the entire day!
Also Muslims: eat like pigs when the sun sets 😂😂😂

Very good summary! Just started my first two hours ago - so far it’s been pretty easy 😂😂

The day after ending a 5+ day fast I always feel absolutely amazing. It literally feels like it cleaned my brain up (Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s studies say that autophagy works more slowly in the brain).
🙏
When I do water fast my memory fails
Thanks, I know what you are saying. I like listening to other people talking about the same subject matter, to get a different take on it. I enjoy your video and I like your take on it.
Totally agree! It’s a powerful practice to listen to the same message (truths) from different sources. It helps us synthesize our own unique understandings. I’m really glad you got value from this Lomas 💯🙏🏼
Great tips!
did my first 60hr fast and ended this morning at 7am. I felt great, could have gone another12-24hrs. Lost just under 8lbs while drinking 1.5 -2 gallons of water per day. I also walked 2miles a day while doing this.
Awesome my friend 🙌
Did the weight come back on immediately when you went back eating?
You were able to keep the weight off?
Thanks for the great info! This was very encouraging and informative. I started my first 3-day fast 4 days ago. Up until day 3, no hunger, moderate energy, and felt good enough to walk a couple miles. I used a commercial electrolyte water, green tea, and one cup of coffee each morning (because I cannot survive without coffee). A week before the fast I cut my carbs majorly (I practice modified Keto for life!) so I'd have fewer carbs to burn through. Then, with just 8 hrs to go (hour 64), I became so extremely shaky, dizzy, and weak that I decided to break the fast with bone broth and IMMEDIATELY recovered. I had plain Greek yogurt and a dill pickle an hour later. At first, I felt like a total failure, but soon realized I'd accomplished something significant. I'm thinking I might not have hydrated enough. Anyway, I will try again next month and hope to complete the fast. I suppose there were still great benefits. You've given me the incentive to try again when I was just thinking extended fasting might not be for me!
Awesome my friend! Give it another go and let us know how it goes🙏
Sounds like an electrolyte problem...try a little salt next time...also it's not necessary to fast more than three days
🙌
How do I cut down on my carbs

I am a type 2 diabetic. Intermittent fasting did nothing for me. 5 weeks ago, I tossed all my diabetes meds, including insulin, and started 36 and 60 hour fasts between eating days. Occasionally, I have 2 eating days in a row (sometimes by accident, sometimes by choice). Eating days mean only 2 meals, and although I'm trying not to snack on eating days, it sometimes happens. So far, I have lost about 25 lbs (half way to my current goal of 200 lbs, but I may extend it to 180 lbs). Of course, weight loss is slowing down and expected. Previously, I was never able to stabilize my blood sugars - there was no way I could predict what would happen. Now, my blood sugar will spike above 10, but it quickly falls to below 7 or 6, then gradually falling as low as 4. I am within range 80-95% of the time (my target from my diabetes nurse, who disapproves of my new lifestyle, is 75%). I also eat much better, especially trying to avoid processed foods (especially sugar), and have increased my salt and fat intake. I sleep much better, have more energy, my mind is more alert, and there's no interference with working out (at any intensity). I never feel hungry, even with lots of tempting food around, or when I'm with others who are eating. Once I reach a comfortable weight, I will reduce the fasting, but there are so many benefits that it will always be part of my lifestyle. I fully expect my diabetes to quickly go into remission.
GOOD! It makes me very happy to hear you're applying all this info and seeing results. RESPECT :-)
You may want to look into Jason Fung on CZcams. He’s an MD who works with kidney dialysis patients that are usually diabetic. His whole thrust is about long-term fasting to heal diabetes.
@@Beowulf-wt3kb Actually, I started with Dr. Fung's work :-)
@@HunterChristianDarkman oh, that’s great!

I did a 7 day fast last week it was the most incredible experience I’ve ever had in my life. My body and mind completely healed and detoxed and I’m in the best shape of my life also.
How much weight did you lose?
@@mesalouis8976 Close to 8 pounds
Great content. Thanks for the advice
You’re very welcome! I’m glad you found this valuable 🙏🏼
Yes, thank you very much. Tomorrow will be my third day.
I have regularly fasted for 36 plus hours weekly, did 5, 7, 9 days and then went for a 40 day fast it was awesome! Have to ease back into food over several days to not get sick as digestive system wakes back up. Did 6 days last week and starting again tomorrow.
💪
id love to know about your 40 day fast. im yet to pass 90 hours
40 day fast? Only if you're obese, because that will drop your weight 20-25 lb, if you're on a smaller side. For anyone who is not obese, that will mean massive muscle mass loss.
And what did you break your fast with?
Vegetable broth then moved to cooked veg then to fermented veggies and then eggs then bone broth then small amounts of meat .. progression over about 2 1/2 weeks.
Alright I’ll try it. 💁🏼♀️ Monday April 22 2024 for 72 hours. 🙌🏻
You can do it ! The benefits are amazing stay strong you can do it….look up Dr Jason Fung he is an expert on fasting and the benefits you get worth a look ❤
How did fasting go for you?
Using rich as my motivation now and my mom brother and All my sisters..hope my dad is OK but I needed him
But he needed me more ❤
Undertaking a long water fast Anthony. I'm in a world of trouble and it's time to get healthier.
Please report back on how it goes! Doing a few of these water fasts this year will help restore your metabolic health and move you in a better direction. Good luck my friend! 🙏🏼
So far spot on! Im on day 2 and although my brain is thinking of food my stomach is feeling fine. Tomorrow is day 3 and if i feel good ill try day 4 and take it one day at a time. Id be surprised if i make it past day 4 though.
TY 🙌💪
I'm at hour 63/84. I'm feeling great. Don't sleep on fasting salts/electrolytes, they help enormously
I'm two days into my 3-day fast, checking out a few videos on CZcams, and after watching yours and one by dr. Sten Ekberg on reintroducing food after a longer fast, I've decided I'm going to do a 3-day fast on a monthly basis for the next 3 months and see how I like the results. For the next 30 days, I will be eating only on even-numbered days, therefore fasting a complete 24 hours every other day. Some may find this excessive, but I have been eating / fasting on alternating days for over a week now, and I am convinced I want to try it for a month or so, evaluate, get my labs done, and see then how I proceed.
I'm stoked and am looking forward to the discoveries I make.
Awesome my friend! good luck 🙌
For those who thought about water fasting, it's really not that bad. I do a 3 day fast once a year for my digestive health. Curbing the hunger is helpful for maintaining a healthy diet afterward. I'm more than content with my healthy diet after a 3 day fast, that's for sure!
🙏
I do a minimum of 16 hours a day. Usually 18-20. I'd like to do the 3 day fast once a month. Fasting feels so great on the body!
Absolutely 🙌
i love u daddy Ed 😊😊😊
Subscribed. Going to give this a go to start the year off right, haha I overdid it during the holidays
Awesome Josh! Really happy to have you with us. Explore our channel. We have a ton of awesome stuff here. Our website is also a fantastic resource. www.fitmotherproject.com/blog
Nice that there's a easily accessible way to heal the body.
I do a 3 day fast (3DF) once per month. I thought that was going to be a strain, but my body keeps asking for more. The rest of the month I do a 20/4 Intermittent fasting (IF). I have been doing IF for more than 5 years and 3DF for half a year. I used to have insulin resistance with all the issues it brings. Today I can say (while not getting younger) that I feel far better than 5 years ago. No insulin resistance, no overweight, no more bad tempers from not eating every two hours, no more cravings. Still have some issues that seem to slowly be getting better, specially since I started the 3DF. However, gout from high uric acid is something that started with me doing all this. I manage it with lemon water and at least 2.4 liters of water per day, but is there and I have to manage it. So, in short, you are going to feel far better doing this, but it is not a magic wand that will make you inmortal! You are mortal, you are going to die, you are going to get old and with age comes a lot of other complications.
Awesome my friend! Keep it up 😊

Does insulin resistance mean you’re diabetic?
@@deeandri8848 insulin resistance as the step before being diabetic.
Started last night. I’ve done 48 hour fasts before so I’m hoping to get through a 78 hour fast.
Mainly bc I’ve gained 10 pounds and want it off asap.
I’ll keep you posted
💪
So I made it to 61 hours. I lost a bit over 3 kilos. The last night before breaking my fast I went to bed freezing and slept a bit more restless. However, I feel great and lost my sweet cravings. I think I'm going to fast 1 day a week to get more in the habit of fasting, and also remind myself to eat more consciously. I will try it again next month to make a full 72 hours.
Awesome my friend! Keep it up 😊

@@jenbieser9654Thanks for sharing your story. Have you made the 72 hour fast yet?
I take Gabapentin for pinched nerves, Levothyroxine for thyroid cancer and vitamin D3 from lack of sun from melanoma. As long as my doctor says I’ll be ok, I plan on doing this next week.
Currently in the middle of my second 7 day fast of the year, its going pretty well.
BEAST
I’m almost on Day 7 in a few hours.
Truth is, first day is normal. Second day is when you start feeling tired and hungry, but it is greatly mitigated by electrolytes. I just bought sea salt and No-Salt for the magnesium.
3rd day was like the second day to a lesser degree.
4th day, things get better.
5th day, I’m back to normal with a pep in my step.
6th day, I’m wanting to play basketball (I havent played basketball in years) I have been listening to David Goggins all morning, and I would say I had an above average amount of energy today.
Tomorrow is day 7, and the end of my first week of water fasting. I’m doing 40 days and 40 nights.
🙏
@@Fitfatherproject Tomorrow is Day 10, a milestone for me. Still going strong. Being in this airport certainly doesn’t help lol.
🙏
@@HoodieSourcehow are you? Willing to share what happened next? I am really curious
@@paweka9149 Hi. Doing great. Monday will be Day 30. Feeling great.
I am on a three day water fast and on a carnivore diet i alway break my fast with bone broth and exercise everyday and spin never any issues I find it a lot easier when you don’t eat carbs in my opinion 😊
💪
very helpful... thank you so much .. i am subscribing
You're so welcome! I'm glad you found this so helpful :-)
I have completed a one day fast and broke with fruit. I haven’t fasted in a while and I think it was a good way to practice mental willpower 👍
I haver to try this. My wife does it with ease on a monthly basis (3 days-water fast) and I observe her skin is superbly clean and smooth without the myriad of advertized skin products. Actually, she does not use any or them and her skin is glowy; I reckon it's a byproduct of the cleansing.
Great skin (without products) is a reflection of great inner heath! Your wife is on it and I’m glad you’re interested in following her example 💯🙏🏼
I have experienced this also with only intermittent fasting. My skin is becoming flawless and I've stopped using commercial creams as I'm told they're filled with estrogen. Instead I'm using avocado oil mixed with some essential oils.
Ive done a 7 day fast, and i gotta tell you i felt amazing. Just so much calmness and clarity, yeah i probably couldnt do a PB in the gym, but that wasnt the point. I just focused on cardio and went for walks, keeping myself occupied. Ive done IF for several years, and i am used to fasting, but for people who are new to this, i'd recommend to start with 16/8, and stick with that until you feel you can go towards 20/4. I lost around 4kgs in 7 days, mostly water weight, but some fat loss aswell. Great video by the way!
Thank you for this comment and praise!! It legitimately means so much to me and inspires me to produce more awesome videos like this 🙏
I'm sorry but no way you felt amazing. I don't recommend anybody as a doctor to do a 7-Day fast
@@robertmendez2293 I dont care if you're a doctor or not, my opinion was that day 3 was the hardest. Day 5-6 & 7 was fairly easy, but i felt that i had to eat at day 7. Mostly because i felt ive done so much i those days, and couldnt keep myself as occupied as before. After day 5, i realized that if i didnt occupied myself, i started thinking about food for no reason. Everyone is different, i get that. But theres no harm of trying new things, and the 7 day went flawless for me more or less.
@@robertmendez2293You at no doctor
Very good information
After watching this video, I am going’s to start 48 fast then 72. Please wish me luck and I will comment if I don’t die after the fasting. Thank you.
PS. This is for losing weight
How was it?
Just finished my first 3-day fast. I drank mostly water, but I also had bone broth, pickle juice, black coffee, liquid chlorophyll and a hydration multiplier. I also had a steak and some sweet potatoes to break my fast.
💪
