Great idea!
Absolutely 💯!!!!
Yea but then we would lose patience and their money!!!
In every doctor's waiting room
Then how would they profit off of your poor health if you knew the simple secret
I LOVE fasting......it has changed my relationship w/ food, decreased my desire to overeat, and so many other benefits. I feel so much more in control of my hunger, feel much less bloated, and deink a lot more water. It is so worth it to 24 hour fast. We focus on food way too much....so it is very enlightening experience.
That is awesome! Fasting has taught me that I don't need to eat all day to be healthy
Same here
We really do it's weird
Yup, me too. Now I’m a bingeing machine. Fasting got me bulimic.
Yeah I’m doing a single day fast rn and I feel so relaxed on my bed rn like earlier I was completely starving but now I’m just calm and collected. Gonna eat a clean breakfast tmr morning
I have fasted since I was a teenager this was not a strict regime as it now it just happened. I still fast between 12 and 16 hours daily, I must admit that I have noticed lately a significant change at around the 12 hour mark, I am more alert and certainly feel better for it.
I am now 75 and still working, I do not drink, smoke or have any underlying medical issues and I have all my teeth (Just thought I would mention that), I don't want to live longer I just want to be healthy and stay self reliant.
Yes! This is what I do too. I am attempting to include 2-3+ day water fasts occasionally too. I am 29 🙂👍🏽
I am going to give this a shot.
@@xGatorchomp28x That's immeasurably unhealthy. Water is important. As is food
super cool comment
I would love new teeth sucks being poor , fasting helps everything in the body eat health stay healthy ! Peace be upon all
Intermittent fasting is fantastic and develops high discipline that can be used in other areas of life.
Checkmate!
So true 👍
Fasting, Stoicism and NoFap have given me amazing results!
100%
I’m so happy I do it. Now I binge everyday.
I did a 60 hour dry fast 2 weeks ago and experienced significant healing. Cyst under my arm that I had for weeks shriveled up, and lymphoma in my neck shrunk to half its size. Preparing to do it again this weekend to see if the lymphoma will shrink completely. Wish me luck! 🙏🏾
I was going to try to do a 72 hour dry fast because of gastritis but I was scared that it might lead to dehydration. I opted instead to do a water fast. Do you get dehydrated at all? Is water fasting beneficial? I would love to hear your opinion.
@@qadan6000 yes I was very thirsty, and I did sneak and eat one ice cube on both days. Water fasting works also, but doesn’t force your body to start turning other cells into water. It’s said that 1 day of dry fasting is equivalent to 3 days of water fasting.
@@healingwithdanae1294 you’re done with the last fasting?
@@chitsaegvjide no, coincidentally I’m just beginning another 60 hour fast right now if I can make it.
@@healingwithdanae1294 how did it go ?? And did ur body heal its self more ?
Currently 37 hrs into my 48 hours fasting 💪.
Hopefully this will answer some questions:
I started 16/8 fasting at the beginning of 2020 (right before the pandemic hit). I have lost 100lbs since (6'3" 350 lbs down to 250 lbs) and have maintained a much healthier weight since.
Here's what I can share from my personal experience.
1 - I chose my eating window to be 11AM to 7PM with the thought that the easiest meal to do without is breakfast.
2 - when eating I still tried to keep my overall calories for the day below 2000. (being 6'3" technically my daily calories should be a little higher as well)
3 - The first two months are tough - my body was trained to want food when I woke up - so the "hunger cravings" sucked - so just drink water. In my case I drank black coffee (some argue adding cream breaks the fast, some say it doesn't - I err on the side of caution)
4 - Your body WILL adapt, and soon it just becomes second nature
5 - calorieless drinks are ok - I stick to water, black coffee, and unsweetened iced tea - I did drink diet coke for the first year as well, but cut that out in 2021
6 - I added working out at the gym in 2022 to help build a little muscle mass back. I didnt lose a lot, but I did notice it - I was never overly strong to begin with, but now in 2023 I have noticed a big difference. I work out about 930pm to 11pm 3 times a week - many tout working out in the fasting late hours but that would mean 9am and work prevents that.
Lastly - make it your lifestyle - once you start, commit yourself to always eating like this - it WILL change your life. I no longer have high blood pressure, I have a LOT more energy, and I have more self confidence.
Good luck! YOU CAN DO IT!!
Thanks for your testimony fella,Am just starting my fast since last week..thinking and praying that it will help me get through the lower back pain,breast problem etc.i was thinking if i can do this for a year but then i read your testimony,i hope i can do it too as u did..thank you..❤God loves you..stay healthy and happy..God bless.🙏
Awesome!
Thanks for this amazing advice! I still have a question. Can I drink other drinks than water or black coffee when i am in my fasting stage? Like all zero calories drinks?
@Le Pinda absolutely! Besides your body needing the liquids, it also helps keep you from feeling hungry! The key is to drink stuff that doesnt start digestion - so to your point, i also drink pretty much zero calorie anything.
Do you know if 25 calorie no carbs or sugar creamer will mess up my results when fasting?
Just completed my first fast. 55 hours
I've been fasting 18-6 every day for several years. My commitment for 2023 is to work towards 24 hours or OMAD with an occasional 36 hour fast mixed in. I'll give a little wisdom on the subject of fasting.
1. Don't confuse boredom with hunger. If you think you are hungry, do something for a few minutes and it will be gone.
2. If you are married or living with someone it is best that your partner, be on the same page. It's a lot harder if they are cooking and eating all the time.
3. Breakfast is the easiest meal to eliminate and try to exercise in the mornings.
4. This is not hard; it doesn't cost anything. in fact, it saves you money.
5. Good luck
I love OMAD one week in and down 7 pounds
I've been doing 16-18/8-6 for about 6 months. What really works for me is that all it takes is being lazy.
It saves money and i get to be a lazy fuck :D.
Hi, I have been 16-8 all year and have just completed my first 40 hr fast .
It was easy, I felt great and feel almost enlightened. Back to 16-8 until I do it again.
I recommend everyone to do it, I just drank water. It focuses the mind.
You all awesome, i'm starting to consistent doing 14/15 fast - 10/9 break window witulh keto diet. I want this lifestyle till my end of my life 😊❤
PS : i'm not overweighted guy, just average person who want to be doing positive act, and mind
@@hobojump7651 You are on your way. You won't believe how good you are going to feel.
OMAD takes practice, patience, and discipline. I've been doing it for 2 years. The biggest hurdle for me was learning the difference between cravings and hunger. Eliminating ALL the junk helped.
Nice. What made you choose OMAD over other protocols?
@@mindhive625 wasnt interested in weight; no issue there, but I did lose weight. My diet was good compared to what I see/hear about others eating. I dont eat out. Haven't had a soda in over a decade. Grow/raise most of my food. My issues were IBS, chronic inflammation, fatty liver, high cholesterol, and chronic fatigue. Tried many other things: diet, exercise, over the counter meds, prescription meds. Nothing worked, so I started reading, alot, over several years. Read about fasting for 12hrs, 16hrs, etc. Decided to stop all forms of sugar, and eat just one hearty meal a day. Lost 10 lbs fast and kept it off, and all above problems are gone, with no new ones appearing.
@@natashahancock9896 Thanks for such a detailed and helpful answer!
Hello Natasha, what time of the day do you eat and what does your meal consist of? Thank you
@@toratarver3356 keto (ish). I grow all my own veggies, most of my fruit. Birds, rabbit, beef, fish from the farm. 4-5 PM I eat. Black coffee in the morning. Water only to drink other than the am coffee
True our whole lives revolve around eating. Whether we are happy, sad, working, resting, watching movies, reading, celebrating, travelling, sitting idle 🙄
Eat every two days and and work on projects to stay busy or study. And sleep for 8 hours.
@@b3at2 eat every two days? I eat every other day. Is that what you mean?
I love fasting. Once a month, I do a 72 hour fast. I’m currently, doing a fast and I’m at 60 hours and feel amazing
Hi. How does it benefits you? Did you see any significant changes?
@@mojtaba_m I did yes! I lost weight fast and my appetite shrunk. However, I did start small and built up. I started by not eating till 3pm
@@samfewtrell2358 Last days I did my first 72h fast in my life. My aim was to have autophagy and to rest my digestive system after years. I felt fresh and amazing in 2nd day. But in 3rd day it went bad with headaches and dizziness. Is it natural?
Nice work. I do it every few months. On 60 hours right now also. Nice not feeling bloated.
@@samfewtrell2358plz tell about ur diet during long fast and what u drink
One of the best aspects of fasting is proving you don’t need to eat or respond to temporary hunger cues. I routinely do 24hr fasts now and it’s so easy.
I eat once in a day. It's so weird how it feels better than having to eat all the time. My energy levels are always at peak and I no longer have to worry about getting overweight
@@BadThrusher ditto here my friend. I was never hungry for breakfast, but was brainwashed by media that “breakfast is most important meal of the day”. So I’d eat and just gain weight and feel sluggish. Now I hit gym at noon fasted, do my workout then have some meat and veggies after and feel great. Lost fat and gained muscle.
Brother, I have a question from you. I'm fasting for 24 hours and have a meal at evening. Is it true that by continuously 24 hours of fasting you'll lose muscle and feel weak mentally and physically?? So far from February 2 to March 6 I've lost almost 10kgs (from 104KG to 94KG)@@factsoveremotions6035
Jesus fasted for 40 days in the wilderness and then defeated Satan.
🙏🏾 ❤Amen!!!
That's not really something we need to achieve these days
@@tonyhussey3610 Not true. The Devil is always lurking and waiting for you to show a weak spot. He will constantly attack your faith until the end of your days.

@@Cheezy_BunzAMEN YOU BETTER PREACH FOR THOSE WHO NOT HEARING YOU !! God Bless !!
Eat one meal a day and you have this positive effects every day. If you're doing a longer fast you're basically burning pure fat after 36+ hours onwards.
It is easy for boys to do fasting, because they are not cooking food for the family
Any kind of fasting is not possible for ladies who have children as they are constantly around food and as we cook healthy food for our children, we are bound to eat them too, which in turn increases our weight...
Is there anything scientific that proves that you burn pure fat after 36 hrs. .. thanks so very much!
@@vidyashautecuisine720 how about stop eating after 6pm... And fast until lunch time on days you don't cook...I understand what you are saying...
@@vidyashautecuisine720 there is fasting where you eat less too and fasting where you eat the same amount that you would in 24 hours but in just a shorter window of time so you eat it all in those 8 hours
I live with my asian mom and she does not understand the concept of fasting and gets slightly annoyed at me for not eating breakfast. But anyways, I've been fasting 16:8 for 3 months now and its been life changing! It literally gets easier, if I really wanted to, I could just eat 1 meal a day and not get hungry at all, but I like eating lunch and dinner with my family.
Haha I can totally relate to u my mom thinks I will faint 😂 n she gets emotional that I m not eating
In the same boat....😸😹
Yeah...moms will take time to understand the concept because during their times they used to have household chores (doing everything by hand) ans so they were able to digest three proper meals a day.....but we have maids and modern machines and remote controls for even closing the curtains, that we no longer have to get up to do any work...so we have to eat accordingly in order to stay fit or else we can become obese
And where are you getting you essential vitamins, especially ones that need fat to be absorbed? Are you anemic?
Same! Moms just want to stuff u with food all the time. It's one way of showing love i suppose 😁 Anyway, how much weight did u lost in 3months?
I fast every Tuesday. (Terrible Tuesdays). It’s usually from Monday 5pm to Wednesday 3 or 4 pm give or take. I even cook for other people while fasting and it doesn’t bother me. I don’t even lick the spoon. : )
You’re stronger than most
Thats a 48 hrs fast every signle week my man, how do you avoid losing weight in such a high weekly deficit?
Ive noticed people are eager to write a comment and when they're asked about it, then silence happens but I'll try anyway: Any major improvements on your health or appearance attributed to your weekly fasting??
@@gabrielort3531 I'd bet it's usually due to having not put their proclaimed ideas into practice 😪 akrasia
Nobody cares Patrick
I’ve watched few hours of videos on fasting over the past year and you broke it down the best in 4 mins. This was a huge revelation for me
Thanks for watching!
I second this. Excellent. Wished I watch this in the first few video about IF for weight loss n health
This was extremely short and to the point
1. In my opinion, this video is informationally obsolete.
2. Intelligent, well-structured, prolonged fasting beyond 36 hours has been proven to provide even greater health benefits.
3. I’m personally doing 60/12 PF, Paleo.
4. Feeling fantastic, losing weight & mental clarity much improved.
Although 'a few' and 'few' are nearly identical, they carry very different emphases. 'A few' is used as a positive expression, simply indicating that the quantity in question is higher than two. The term 'few,' however, is most often used negatively to express a count that is low or lower than expected.
Compare the following sentences:
"Few cell lines can survive for extended periods at room temperature.”
“The flask was left out of the incubator all night, but there were still a few viable cells.”
I just fasted 36 hours lost 5kilos ,I was bloated and now I’m good ,and reset my body , sometimes I eat tooooo much ,so fasting helps me more than anything to control my hunger ,good luck to you all 💪🏾
48 is my perfect fast. I absolutely feel amazing.
@shmodzilla That is crazy, did you lose tons of muscle?
@@basicallytroll2705You don’t start losing muscle till 7 dats

I just crossed the 24 hour line, and found this video for motivation to continue
I have been doing IF 6 days a week, 18/6, and a 24 hour fast one day/week for the last year. Recently I added one 42-hour fasting, 1x/per calendar quarter. I have lost 40 pounds in the last year while adding muscle thru a weight training program. I'm now at my high school weight after 42 years.
This is helful, and congrats on a healthier you. May you share about your weight training program?
congratz.
Very encouraging. Thanks for sharing
Wow congratulations 👏👏👏
Currently doing alternative day fasting, 36 hours in my first fast and I feel so clear and content, no hunger, no brain fog, just a slight headache but nothing water can't fix! I'm doing it for my weight but I'm enjoying learning about all the other benefits too !! extra motivation :)))
I est just one hour a day 1 to 2 pm and then I stop for another 24 hours, I have lost 32 pounds in two months
Funny thing about fasting. Up until the 20 hour mark your craving food. It's like ok, I can eat. The 24 hours are up and guess what? "I'm good, don't need to eat"... So you go for another 12 hours.... you get there and your STILL good. Then eat 48 hours after you started thinking "Man, this mountain of food will be EPIC!"...and eat like a mouse. Lol
Just had that experience yesterday after a 42 hour fast. It’s very anti-climactic
44 hours! Same here! Got a giant burrito with chips... didn’t even finish it
@@mindhive625 I've done a few 24 hour, 36 hour, and 48 hour fasts before but what scared was that around the 30-36 hour mark my heart would start beating very fast, after awhile it would go away but it would still come back later.
@@davfar459 that’s cause you need electrolytes. Salt and potassium and magnesium you can take those without breaking a fast as supplement
Gets really easy once you do it for a few months
I intermittent fast 16/8 in 15 months I lost 165lb and love it I still fast 16/8 and eat better and feel better then ever
Have been steadily doing IF for past 6 months. I used to weigh 182lbs and now about 162 lb. I am surprised how someone can lose 165lb ? Not sure if I do something wrong or people were even heavier than me to begin with and hence I may not get results as much as some of you. I don’t like sodas and processed food much to start with so I wonder if that plays a role in it.
@@rajutvs That's exactly it, I'm not sure how much did rlouis215 weighed, but most likely around 300+ lbs. Intermittent fasting does a lot for people that are heavier. I've been doing IF for about 2/3 weeks now (I'm 172 lbs now) and I probably only lost 2 to 3 pounds, but it makes the difference when you hit a plateau on regular low carb diets.
@@tomahawk014 Thanks. The good thing is that I am happier it is working gradually. I am not a junk eater in general (except for my occasional ice creams) but with IF I am able to resist some of those cravings as well. I also do a fasting of no carbs at all once every 2 weeks as a religious activity which seems to help very well. I was only confused on how people could lose so much with IF but then realize that the food habits have changed drastically for them compared to mine
@@rajutvs the larger you are, the quicker you lose weight, especially if you drastically change your diet and cut out refined sugars and carbohydrates and stay in a consistent calorie deficit and exercise a few times a week.
@liliboo I ate in my eating window but I used a weight loss calculator to see how much clarifies I need to eat to reach my goal weight so basically I was in a calorie deficit in my eating window and some days I only ate one meal
I’m 40, my body can definitely benefit from fasting.
I simply am blown away with all the unintended benefits of fasting. No matter how many videos I watch, I discover some new benefit. It's like a puzzle and you are starting to piece it all together, as one benefit is often derived from another. The picture becomes more clear as you continue to fast.
Personally:
Eat between 4pm-9pm Mon-Fri
Eat between 10am-9pm Sat,Sun,Holidays
3 yrs now, reversed T2 completely, easy, great energy level
Do you also have fitness activities?
Lost 50lbs intermittent fasting, back to my high school weight at 40 years old. I actually found that I need to be careful to eat enough as I feel so good while fasting, I don’t look forward to eating like I used to; I now eat to fuel, not consume with gluttony. I do occasionally enjoy the cheat day, but honestly, the after effects - head in clouds, overall fatigue, not so much.
Never thought I would love fasting but I do. Quick story, Every time I went to the doctor or district clinic my blood pressure was always high, I never understood I got scared so I decided to do some extensive research on how to bring it down naturally, that's when I across fasting and decided to try it out, been doing it for approximately 3 weeks and let me tell you my BP has gone down significantly.
Well done 👍 No doctors are going to tell you to fast .. they'll go broke 🤑

I fast 18 hours, eat twice a day, break my fast around noon usually fruit and Greek yogurt and final meal around 5/6 steak, eggs, ground beef maybe chicken maybe a little veg or if the wife has made lasagna etc that’s ok too
I have watched a million health-focused videos, and this one was clean, concise, and accessible, while still being solidly science-based. And no narcissistic presenter mugging it up for the camera. So refreshing! (and subscribed!)
Where did you see "science"?
Just be careful not to fall into Scientism, otherwise you will find yourself advocating for everything to be validated by Science - which would be unfortunate because science is just but one narrow field that only deals with the observable & measurable realm. Fasting goes beyond science & into the metaphysical. Be blessed.

Last year I lost 45lbs in 6 months on OMAD, and dropped 3 medications. I've been on calorie restrictive diets most of my life (63yo) and they were okay but always left me tired and hungry and obsessed with food because of all the calorie counting etc. I ended up putting it all back on and had to repeat each following year. But with OMAD 15 months later the weight is still off and OMAD or 2mad is the new normal. I never even think about breakfast and usually wait til 2 or 3pm before I eat an incredible meal rich in healthy fats and proteins wth some green carbs.
So happy for you
I kinda did OMAD too, trying to lose weight gained from the pandemic xD I almost was at a 90 kilos mark, but with the OMAD diet and walking 5 kms 2 to 3 times a week I regained my original weight (70-75 kg) in 6 months and now Im used to the diet, I can fast almost for 24 hours. But when I eat I need a lot of protein or some heavy foods that not easy digest, like if I eat fish I feel its to light for a meal but after that I can fast for 24 hours
I’ve watched 100 videos on this and this ones my new favorite. Short, simple, and to the point. Makes it much easier to share with friends and family versus sharing multiple confusing 10+ min videos
I have been fasting (no food on Mondays, at all, so 36 hour fast) for about 3 years. Utterly transformative, at 69, I take only BPH medication, and have a BMI of about 22.5. Dailey yoga, and I'm feeling great, everyday,
Fasting has made me so much more intuitive about food.
It's near killed off cravings, I've lost 11.5 lbs on one 68 hour fast and the weight has NOT come back on.
It actually helps Cleer my head a little which today, I need kote than ever !!
Why didn't you just do the 72 hour fast?
@@rammingspeed5217 why should they?
I have been fasting for 36 hours once a week for over a year now, and I can tell you there are huge benefits to this. Too many to describe, but everything in this video is factual and on point. My biggest advice is to learn how to control your mood and mentality as a whole. This has been my biggest struggle while fasting. It is easy to downward spiral with this and get very hangry. If you choose to fast don’t make those around you suffer from these personal effects of fasting.
That's what I'm starting to do, 36 hour fast. I don't need to lose much weight , I'm doing it more to cleanse my dead cells
I've been doing intermittent fasting (18/6 daily) for almost a year and have lost 60 pounds on this protocol. I reached my target weight in just 6 months and easily maintaining it with 2 good sized meals in my 6 hour eating window. The benefits to my overall health and well-being are off the charts...blood pressure, lipid profile, glucose, etc. are all in optimal ranges without any medications. I do take some high quality supplements (multi, salmon oil, ubiquinol, vit d3 & k2, magnesium, ester c) once daily, so I'm sure they're helping too. I want to start doing a 48 hour fast twice monthly to get more benefits from autophagy, but I have a hard time fasting past 18-20 hours. One thing is for sure, I will continue at least my daily fasting for the rest of my life, as the benefits are undeniable.

@@abdelnasserahmed5044the principle is only okay because it's not only for the benefit of the body. If you don't drink water it will harm your body too. Even if you can drink 2-3 litres (what most people won't do regularly) after the sun went down.
@@abdelnasserahmed5044 The idea just requires people to fast from sunrise to sunset. People are not doing "wrong things". It's just not PROPER fasting if you are going indulge your ass off during iftar.
Just did a three day fasting just coz I was bored and wanted to check it out. Totally recommend it.
Once I fasted for 2 days, but I slept a lot, like 10 hours a day, and the rest I was either sitting or walking slowly. I swear I lost so much fat in just those 2 days, and my muscles looked more toned. In just 2 days.
I started fasting to lose weight. I quickly realized it's fantastic for short-term relief of my IBS symptoms. The hardest part is the first 6-8 hours. After that it's super easy and I'm not hungry, I feel more alert and clear-headed, have more energy, and best of all, my IBS belly stops hurting.
I do it for gastrointestinal issues as well!! You feel so much better
Have you considered adding Kifer? I put my mom on it, and it has helped a great deal (explosive diarrhea). I don’t know much about IBS but, thought it was worth mentioning. Best ~
Same here my ibs completely went away and it's also helped me pin down what was upsetting me. Turns out it's refined flours and oils and sugars. If it's processed now I don't eat it. Feel better than I've done in years.
I'm 5 hours in and I'm painfully hungry! Do you do the fast every so often at regular time periods? Such as monthly? I'm trying to do 48 hours to see what the effect is.
@@harrychown6854 Sorry it took me a while to reply. I don't fast as often as I used to, sadly. I used to do 2 - 24 hour fasts a week. Twice a year I did 5 day fasts. Every one is different, so some people feel hungry faster and longer than others. For me, the first 6-8 hours were the hardest. After that is was easy, I didn't feel hungry. I drink lots of water to make it easier.
Fasting is not for everyone. I would check with doctor if you go more than a day or two, especially if you have health problems.There is no shame in starting out with shorter fasts, like 12-16 hours as a "test drive" and see how you feel.
This video is so helpful! Clear, concise, and straight to the point. I understand the benefits of fasting better now. Thank you!
One of the Islamic pillars and the truth of the Islamic religion ❤
After fasting for 16 hours, I feel energetic and have more mental clarity. I need to go further and start reaping ALL the benefits now! Great video!
I’ve been on OMAD for a few yrs. Each meal has vegs on the side. I’m 76, 5’7” hover around 10st. Began eating Scott’s microwave porridge oats for breakfast each morning 12 days ago as well as my one evening meal, I’ve unexpectedly lost 3lbs 🤷♀️ Hope this helps some of you 💁♀️
I usually fast for 16 hours. Thanks for the insight; great stuff. Looking forward to more of your videos!
Thanks Vince. Means the world!
Move it up to 18.missing out on the best benefits like auto phagy. 20-24 hours is the middle ground best.
16/8 is the best way to do it
I've been doing 18/6 fasting for a few weeks now (1pm-7pm) I feel great, going to start working in OMAD on Saturdays then not eat until 1pm on Mondays to see how that goes.
Great job buddy, the exact breakdown I was looking for.

Very educational! Thank you for the info and your delivery was perfect.
FINALLY, someone that can actually make a few POINTS in under 45 minutes.
Great video! Thanks! The best thing about fasting, other than all the benefits stated in this video, you appreciate food much more.
Well done sir. Appreciate your effort to make this clear and understandable.
Currently on a 25hr dry fast. It’s part of religious practice but I do minimum of 20hrs of fasting everyday anyway. It’s wonderful. You won’t believe how much energy I have because I also go to the gym while fasted.
Did you lose any weight?
I train fasted too. I get the best workout 💪🏾
Yes! I recently started fasting and lifting. 🙂
Exercise in a fasted state is the only way to go!!
How do you prevent muscle loss while fasting, a few years ago I did a 25 day water fast and lost a bit of muscle in my legs.
Nice videos! Well composed and genuine. I hope you have more success cause you deserve it, Sir! Too much underated... such a great quality YT channel!
Thanks you!
Ahhhh the Final Consultant and best Doctor of all times. The Bible says we should fast and pray. The end.
Interesting to have my suspicions that a) we eat too much and too often in this culture, and b) protein isn’t needed every meal.
And carbs are not needed at all.
@@armadillotoe This!
@@armadillotoe Agree, but not entirely. Carbs could be needed to load up for times of famine. Like preparing for winter. The healthiest veggies though have hardly any calories and carbs. Loading with carbs from time to time is not a bad thing, it can't be just day to day habit.
At first, I do fasting because of losing weight. But, after watching this video, I want to change my perception. I want to do fasting not only for weight loss, but for better brain function and prevent my body from diseases
U muslim right 😅
I like this video. I just start trying IF, first week was tough, I goes haywire. 2nd week I snack occasionally. 3rd week I am finding my rhythm, down to 3 meals. 4th week, down to 2 meals. Feeling better, cloths are loosening at waist & hips.
I'm on my third week of 24hrs to a meal. Stomach is shrinking.
how long does it take to shrink the stomack?
@@claudorlando690 It's stomach
Short yet precise vide, thank you for sharing 😊
Informative and concise. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the simple and easy understand vid.
Just passed 85 hours, LFG 💪
great video brother, thank you for uploading 🙏
My God! This is the best explanation I have ever heard.
Amazing design God put in our bodies for the short time we have in this current life. They fasted in the Bible days often, there was a reason for it beyond just spiritual.
Our bodies are truly a gift!
Amen
@@mindhive625 a gift??? Lol
Truly an amazing design.
Like the appendix that kills us when ruptured.
Or the oesophagus and trachea linking to the same orifice, guaranteeing some people will die by choking on food.
Or ingrown wisdom teeth that cause significant damage to our mouths.
Or the anus and the genitals being close enough to cause infections.
Or the blind spot in our eyes.
Or the recurrent laryngeal nerve which runs from the brain to the larynx, but stops by the heart along the way.
Truly an amazing design.
@@ThunderJuice how would u design it
i do 36 hour fssts twice a month (ekadashi) and generally there's a 13 hour gap between my dinner and breakfast.
It's great. I recommend doing this if you want something to do but don't know what to do.
Thanks for the video. 😊😊😊 Very informative and to the point.
Brilliant vid. Well done. Very concise which is what some people want.
Im going for a 48h fast starting right now. Wish me luck
I am an Indian. Asian Indian. A Hindu. Fasting has been part of our religion and culture for thousands of years. I practice intermittent fasting. It's worked for me. God bless you all 🙏
Fasting is part of almost all religions....
Hey brother I’m 14 hours into my first ever 48 hour fast. I literally was telling my fiancé just 3 hours ago about y’all and how healthy y’all are because of fasting and your religion!! God bless you my brother!!
@@Godblessed2 Jesus learn kriya yoga from MahaAvathar Babaji the Hindu saint.
@@Godblessed2 It's spelled "except".
@@Godblessed2 Jesus learned fasting from Jim Jones
I’m going to start fasting from Sunday evenings to Tuesdays evenings, about 48 hours. I like breakfast too much to give it up every day, and a longer fast once a week sounds great with the benefits described in this video. I just finished drafting a meal plan for the next week to make sure I’m eating enough. Thank you!
Who cares?
Good luck :)
I do the same. Tuesday is much easier.
@@LeoTaxilFrance you cared enough to comment 🤫
is it not difficult to fast for 48 hrs? did you train urself but increasing the it gradually or u did it in one go?
Excellent video! I can recommend this to my friends who are new to fasting.
thank you creators for solid advice.
TODAY.... is day #387 of my O.M.A.D. (one meal a day, with all calories eaten within a 2 hour windows... so i fast at least 22 hours (sometimes more) each day. I've lost almost 60 pounds! and yet i still eat.... potatoes, pasta, pizza, LOTS of fruit ... cottage cheese, cheese, etc ... but with proper proportions as i average between 1400 and 1600 calories for that meal And... i do not have cravings... i do not 'starve' or have serious hunger pains. This has been the EASIEST diet i've ever been on... Who can't skip a couple of meals a day??? I eat one very satisfying meal and I'm MUCH HEALTHIER! I figure I've cut out around TWO THOUSAND MEALS/SNACKS in these 387 days of O.M.A.D.!!!!
I love fasting! I fast for 2-3 days every month or every other month, and I drink chlorophyll water or just regular lemon water. I am now going to incorporate a dash of celtic salt for extra electrolytes. But overall, I love it. It helped me lose weight and gain mental clarity. Everyone thought I got my body done when I went back to work🤣🙄
The maximum I have done was 10 days now I’m into ADF and pushing it 36 to 48 hours. Best video ever
This was very helpful! Thank you!
I just starting doing the 12h-48h and its amazing.
I just started fasting and I am very happy doing it. I am up to about 24 hours. I am please with my progress. Thank you for such an informative video.
Hey how often do you do a 24 hour fast? I was planning on doing it once a week. All the benefits to the brain and body sound fantastic I wanna try!
I'm never tired at 2pm like everyone else at work. And My resting heart rate now is 71 vs 93 after 3 months of fasting 4 days a week. Never 3 meals either. Get off the addiction people!
My Sundays are for 48 hour fasts! Then, I do OMAD Monday through Friday. Saturdays are chill, shop, and indulge a bit days!
Started with 18:6 right away and quickly found out that its hard for me to eat dinner too because I'm so full from lunch (due to keto diet). Had to force dinner inside myself first couple of times. So I went OMAD and damn I feel so good in the morning. I've noticed if I study in the morning in a fasted state I feel like I'm galaxy brain or something. Doing lunch after this starts to feel like a punishment at this point because I become tired and sleepy so I'm definitely gonna try doing more than jsut 24h
Great video!!
Thank you!
Excellent presentation!
Thank you for sharing this message.
Thanks for this video. I tried fasting a couple of years ago and lost about 40 lbs down to 185 lbs and kept it off. My goals now are to see how fasting works to improve brain function and get more benefits from a longer fast. This video is awesome encouragement. Thank you.
A person, who was so fat, has no brains.
I love to fast. It gives me immense energy after 72 hrs.
Everyone who talks about prolonged fasting says it’s easy from day 4. But this video suggest it’s not worth it to go longer in terms of optimal fat burning and autophagy, i don’t know if they are just covering themselves though and don’t want to say it’s ok to fast longer etc. How tough are the first 72 hours for you? What’s the longest fast you’ve done?
@@RedDevil_Joe
I have fasted multiple times for up to 30 days. It is true that the first 3-4 days are always the toughest to get through. Not as hard if one adopts a proper lifestyle. After the 3-4 day mark, it’s easy riding from there on
@@verborgenewahrheit1594 cool thanks for the info
That sounds like a meth binge lol
@spongebob
Herbal tea and broth , Concord grape juice with fresh lemon , with activated charcoal and bentonite clay . Nothing else
Best video i seen yet on explaining how fasting works for your body. Thanks bro
Great video and information. Thank you so much! I'm 24 hours into my fasting now.
One has to train for fasting. Mind plays endless games. I have adopted a fasting lifestyle since 2018. Lost 25 kilos. Diabetes almost under control at H1AC 5.3. spiritual benefits are immense. Fast every week for 36 to 48 hours. More than that is not helpful.
Glad you’re fasting has helped you, but telling everyone that fasting beyond 48 hrs is not helpful , does fasting a disservice. Thousands of people go to fasting clinics and fast for 2-18 weeks, and have cured diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, IBS, etc... In 1966 a man fasted for 382 days with no ill effects.
@@LBinsocal true. Dr Alan goldhammer runs a clinic that puts people through extended water-only fasts. My main reason I didn’t want to talk about that here is because it can be risky for some people to go beyond 48 hours. But prolonged fasts certainly have a lot of benefits for diabetics and even cancer patients.

How do you tame the hunger?
@@dannid.8115cut carbs, eat more fats and you'll go longer and longer without getting hungry. Also, you only get hungry at certain times of the day because your body expects a meal at that time. If you ignore it, the hunger goes away. Over time, you won't get hungry at those times anymore. Check out Dr Jason Fung for more information. He's like the intermittent fasting guru
