I started intermediate fasting July31, 2020 @ 285lbs 6'1", I weigh myself once a week usually on a Monday. Sept 7th I weighed 257lbs. My year end goal is to be 220lbs at 50th birthday. I may shoot for 205 next year as it's what I weighed a long time a go out of the military and I feel its my ideal body weight. I do the 16/8 but often its more like 18/6, 10pm to 2pm is my fasting time (eating window is 2pm to 10pm). I work nights a lot so I'm just not eating at work and go straight to bed when I get home. I've cut out carbs (breads and white potatoes, very little fruit), unsweet almond milk in oatmeal (use cinnamon, honey, walnuts) maybe once a week. Lots of salads with (cheese, boiled egg, almonds, carrots, bits, balsamic vinegar), sweet potatoes, chicken, steak, broccoli, cabbage, stew (without potatoes), cheese, eggs, bacon. Pretty much anything no carb. I drink only water, black coffee, unsweet tea. The second week in I started drinking apple cider vinegar before bed and when I get up also. Recipe:1 cup of water,1 table spoon of acv, 1 table spoon of lemon juice. Use a straw and drink it toward the back of your mouth so the acids don't go over your teeth and hurt your enamel. I walk a couple days a week and do pushups, planks, leg lifts most days.The weight is just falling off, I'm never going back to my old unhealthy lifestyle.
Fasting is to free from addictive food behaviors combined with prayers and meditations upon God's Word,for deliverance from bandages,hindrances that hinders our spiritual growth.
"...deliverance from bandages, hindrances that hinders our spiritual growth." One could easily argue that the belief in some supernatural god is, in itself, a hindrance to our ability for critical thinking and interferes with us making decisions based on logical thinking.
@@prenom8793 It's not the belief in a god that prevents you from being logical. It's the mental gymnastics that you allow your brain to endure in order to get your mind to believe such rubbish. A person with a fully-functional brain could not possibly believe that anything depicted in the bible could have happened.
@@rpprevost For over one thousand years, people of sound mind, with greater intelligence than you or I have studied the bible. Even if you do not believe it to be true, the impact on culture it has makes it interesting enough to pick up and read it.
I woke up after my first 36 hour fast, made a cup of coffee and watching more on fasting. I feel great. My next fast will be 3 days. My mood was elevated. I had moments of hunger, but water and tiny sprinkles of sea salt helped. Next time just water. It's free, and such benefits. I allow myself to slow down- as my body is adjusting...busy working on the inside.
Thanks for sharing your personal experience! 👏 Keep in mind that we do not recommend drinking coffee during a fast. Black tea is the better option, maybe you can try that the next time.
Hi Dr.Francoise Wilhelmi de Toledo. I just watched The Science of Fasting again and started my third fast and fasting is almost magical to me,I'm still learning and I want to thank you for all the knowledge you have shared with me and the world. Good thoughts to you and yours Doctor.Pete and Dee from Sacramento California USA. PS I wish there was more Drs like you.
At last! Someone who speaks upon the spiritual component of fasting... to me the most fascinating and least discussed. I have never fasted to lose weight or for some specific health difficulty, but have fasted extensively over 25 years, the last two being 40 days, water only...these all done here in Costa Rica within my jungle preserve. I don't think either could have been 41 days! Come visit sometime.
I'm a lot more in tune with the source of Love in me and I more easily regain control of my chakras whenever I fast. But woowww, 40 days!?!?! Is that truly possible even when secluded from the outer world???
@@giscardstanleybrutus4286 it was possible as a result of my long process of having done many fasts. Both times the last few days were extremely challenging and I really don't believe a day 41 would have been possible or advisable. I lost 27% of my body weight and was totally emaciated, but glowed within.. Unlike with shorter fasts it took months to truly feel myself fully integrated of body, and then felt even more clear and present of mind and spirit. Truly a transformative experience but extremely challenging.
Alright, that makes a lot of sense! To be honest, I am someone who's chosen by the Kundalin energy, the divine energy of life! And anyone who's come to the point of being able to experience the kundalini every night is blessed by the heavens above. Kundalini Energy always chooses the most humble souls. That's why humility is the greatest virtue of life, because it opens the door to spiritual transformation. Gratitude is also a great virtue by the way. Question though: Did you withdraw yourself from society on any of these 2 occasions?
wow, wonderful information. I am writing from Mexico. I have been practicing intermitent fasting or time restricted eating for two years now. Initially motivated because I realized I was insulin resistant and reading about fasting really got me into feeling that after more than 20 years of going on diets loosing and gaining weight again and again I finally found what I needed to get back on track with my health. I just can't understand why this does not get world wide spread, now more than ever than even kids are getting sick from covid because the obesity epidemic that all the process carbohydrates and foods have managed to introduce into this side of the world. Also I have opened my eyes to fructose... The longer I have fasted is four days, but now I realized that I should not drink coffee... and I have .. so I will try to change that in my next fast. Thanks...
Try a dry fasting for autophagy! It's amazing! And because you mentioned the coronavirus... check out the wonderful interview with a lot of doctors initiated by Tony Robbins! It's an eye opener! (available as a podcast for free)
Sounds like Lisa came to the clinic first as a patient, and it must have made a big difference and big impression. Interview her to have her tell her story.
What are your guidelines for fasting? Is it NO food at all or is it not eating between meals? Or is it one meal, two small meals? Please tell me specifically what your guidelines are.
Interesting! There is a saying, you are what you eat! Now, the thought is Who are you when you don't eat!!!The answer is an "Expression" than an "Information"....🙏
Very interesting!! In Islam, there is a yearly obligatory intermitted fasting for a month (Ramadan), then recommend an extra 10 days. And after that recommended 2 intermitted fasting days (Mondays and Thursdays) every week. Fasting the month of Ramadan is an obligatory pillar of Islam. Very good to hear that fasting is very beneficial.
Thank you so much. This is one of my favorite videos. Could you please elaborate on taking electrolytes while water only prolonged fasting (potassium, sodium, magensium, calcium). I have noticed huge benefites when taking them and even reducing the dangers when breaking the fast. Thank you...please keep on sharing your knowledge with us
I rely on coffee for energy way to much. I get a deeper rest when I do a long term fast without coffee and I wake up more energized than I do than when I drink coffee.
Thank you Dr. Francoise Wilhelmi de Toledo for sharing exactly where I am in my fasting journey. I have enjoyed your extraordinary work and brilliant support in more than one of your videos. Thanks again❤
Regarding answer about coffee ☕️ there is not enough scientific background but very clear to persuade not to take coffee during fasting. Thanks for interview. Useful.
Loving this channel! Started my journey with the Wim hof method and a 16/8 fast. and now on a 20/4 cycle. What do you think about Wim hof and his cold exposure and breathing therapy in combination with Fasting! it's been absolutely amazing, but I would love to know more about the science about the combination of the those three (Breath-work, Cold exposure, & Fasting)
It must be clarified that repeating a day routine for a reasonable time is not recommended by specialists in the field. The body is so amazingly clever, that it adapts to a repeated behaviour and makes the short cut AGAIN. One should have flexible eating habits and try to cheat the clever body. The same is applied to the gym and physical training, being not expected by the clever body and changing routines every now and then.
great explanation why coffee and caffeine are best eliminated altogether while fasting…just allowing my body/mind/soul to rest & rejuvenate without stimulation. thank you!
I do water fast every year for 21 days. During my last fast I walked 10000 steps in the morning every single day:, performed 10 pull ups, 10 push ups, and 20 body weight squats (low intensity medium duration exercise is fine). I lost ~25 pounds adjusted for water weight. I did consume a cocktail of salts after 7 days every other day. I dont feel loss of drive during the fast. First 3 days are the hardest.
Thank you for uploading this magnificent information. We will.only benefit from that. Fasting is a vital.part of spiritual life. But I have a professional question: as an opera singer I need always energy in my body and muscles particularly to be able to sing especially high notes. How can I do that while fasting? Thank you!
Thankyou for this post. I completed a 21-day water-only fast November 2018. There were SO many amazing benefits and I just loved it. I felt GREAT- full of energy for the first 9 days. However, from day 10, my energy dropped and didn't pick up, I draaaagged myself through to day 21. Can you tell me why i did not have any energy? I was not hungry, I had great mental clarity, I was remembering ALL dreams- completely, and so many other positive aspects- I loved the experience- But no energy? Can you tell me why? I wasn't hypoglycemic, i was sleeping most of the days,
It’s difficult to answer without knowing your medical situation. We do not offer water only fasts but Buchinger therapeutic fasting. From our studies according to the Buchinger Wilhelmi Programme, we know that people normally feel rather energetic while fasting. But we are monitoring our patients extremely close with two doctors consultations per week, extensive blood analysis, daily checks with the nurse etc. Was your fasting accompanied by an experienced fasting doctor? Did you check your blood?
@@BuchingerWilhelmiFasting Hi, yes i was at a clinic, supervised by medical staff. I thought i would go into ketosis and draw on fat reserves, but i just didnt seem to get energy back after day 9 and really struggled to the finishing line (21 days). I cant reiterate enough the clarity and other fantastic longevity benefits i know extended fasting get, but its just that energy thing? I understand it is hard to comment without having me there and monitoring me yourself- i do understand that x i am just stumped as to why.
Am in my 4th day of fasting. Amazing video and sound quality. May I ask what kind of cameras you are using? That will help me for my plans to have podcasts.
Sure. We started this series during corona since we received so many questions and wanted to provide immediate help. Therefore no special equipment was purchased. It’s two iphones ;-)
I’m near 70 and having a hip replacement in a few months ... I won’t be able to go to your center and I’m hoping to be in good health for the operation so any tips to water fast as I’m living with people that I cook for as I’m a carer for my husband... really appreciate all tips thanks 🙏
I personally would do a bone broth fast after the hip replacement. I regularly do 5 day bone broth fasts and my knees with all worn-out cartilage magically heal after that short fast. I also recommend a book by Sally Fallon The Nourishing Broth.
I wish I can fast for more than 24 hrs. It is difficult for me even with my daily 18/6 to maintain a decent weight, and I have tried to eat more calories by increasing fat. My fat just falls off without effort. I have a hard time gaining more than 100 lbs lately. My body eat itself too fast. I have some black coffee with one teaspoon of heavy cream at 7a and nothing else until my first meal at 12-1p.
Thank you, excellent detailed explanations. For a moment I though the episode would promote caffeine during fasting. Happy the conclusions match ancient practices. We did not evolve to drink most stimulants. However, for certain persons a small amount of dietary stimulants have been shown to beneficial, especially in the short term.
I did OMAD for some time. I drink black coffee and sometimes with coconut milk. Recently i was found to have GERD and inflammation of the stomach. Now i have to cut out coffee. I understand from listening to Dr Jonathan Aviv and Jamie Koufman than many people end up with reflux problems with intermittent fasting. I'm wondering whether my condition were caused by the omad and coffee. 🤔
Hello, we hope you understand that we cannot give medical advice on social media. To find an answer to this question, you have to be interviewed and fully examined by a doctor experienced in fasting. He or she will help you to find the best therapy for you. We wish you all the best!
Dear Allana undesirable side effects can be very individual. And since you are asking about your condition - this can be very individual as well. There so many parameters to consider that we recommend consult with a doctor experienced in fasting. We wish you all the best!
This is why i switched to decaf coffee. For the first 3 days i only drink water and black decaf coffee. After the 72 hours and so far up to 144 or 6 days i put i tbsp of heavy whipping cream in it. I feel no hunger at all.
I have just finished the 4th day of a five day fast and feel great after the first three days of feeling tired. My question to the good Dr is why is sipping green tea (which contains caffeine) acceptable while black coffee without additives not acceptable?
Please, for "chronic" conditions, to you recommend extended fasting?? Intermittent fasting takes so long...I've been reading about extended fasting some stories are just life changing...Thank you
What do you mean by fasting? There does not seem to be any guidance as to whether this is a Hunger strike equivalent where you don't eat at all or partial such as 5:2, 12 or 16 hour fasting etc?
Intermittent fasting ....... And any and all..... 1 day.. 7...10 or 30. Even up to a year You'll still be pooping soilds out. You should see if your kidneys are filtering. Utube it. Dr robert morse
Hello, I do intermittent fasting (22- 2 ie one meal a day) and have about 100 ml of black coffee in the morning during my fasting phase. Presume that is ok?
Intermittent fasting is how not to be tired when intermittent fasting. Truly, after your first successful three day fast you'll have so much autophagy going on when you re-feed you'll be bursting with fresh mitochondria. Add a few cold showers and some exercise in and you'll be flying.
I’m trying out fasting but want to do a longer one. I usually take a version of ritalin / methylphenidate during the work day to help me focus a bit (ADHD) but I’ve found that these pills are not as effective as they used to be say 10 years ago (I usually take a 2 or 3 week break from the pills once a year). So I’m thinking that if I try to do a longer fast this time I should also stop taking methylphenidate (it’s a stimulant like coffee) and then maybe after a week long fast when I get back into the work routine I would find them to be more effective again. I’ll update this comment if it works :)
Celery has the highest amount of natural nitrate salts. As you know they use nitrates to preserve bacon, ham, etc. Not many people know that celery increases blood pressure. Not in everyone but in many. It may make your heart pound a lot and you will not be able to sleep after many days of fasting. Just be aware. For electrolytes there is a perfect both for fasting, look up Bieler broth recipe, just strain the veggies.
@@dinnerwithkirill6257 Thank you, I was not aware of that. In general is celery juice health full and healing on a regular diet or is it something not to have too much of? I’ve been using it almost daily. And actually my blood pressure has been going up. I didn’t think it was related to that though.
I was doing a 42 day Breuss juice fast, but stopped after 27 days because I couldn't sleep and my heart was punding too hard. My friend did 60 day water fast and he was only taking vitamin suppositories. His fast went very well. I am not answering your question but the info still may help one way or another.
Vielen Dank für die informativen Videos :). Vor einigen Wochen hatte ich eine ernüchternde Fastenerfahrung. Ich faste seit einigen Jahren regelmäßig um Ostern herum für 10-14 Tage. In diesem Jahr hatte ich unmittelbar vorher eine sehr stressbelastete Zeit. Außerdem war meine Vorbereitung offenbar nicht optimal. In den Jahren zuvor begann ich bereits 2 Wochen vorher sukzessive weniger zu essen und war zudem streng vegan. Laxatives verwendete ich nie, was mir keine Probleme bereitete. Diesmal war es jedoch anders. Ich hatte starke Kopfschmerzen und musste mich übergeben, woraufhin ich das Fasten abbrach. Ist dies mit Abführmitteln zu vermeiden? Oder spielt der Stress auch eine Rolle?
Hallo Stina, Vielen Dank für Ihre Frage und das Teilen Ihrer Erfahrungen. Natürlich spielen die individuellen Faktoren wie Stress, Vorbereitung, usw. beim Fasten eine große Rolle und jede Fastenerfahrung ist unterschiedlich. Grundsätzlich werden allerdings durch die Entleerung des Darms weniger Giftstoffe aus dem Darm absorbiert. Das Risiko, an Kopfschmerzen zu leiden, sinkt und auch das Hungergefühl wird durch den entleerten Darm gestillt. Der Grund dafür ist, dass der Magen beim Fasten keine Signale an den Darm sendet, sich zu entleeren, weil er nicht mehr gefüllt ist. Falls Sie noch weitere Fragen haben, zögern Sie nicht uns zu kontaktieren. Viele Grüße Ihr Buchinger Wilhelmi Team
What does it mean if coffee does absolutely nothing for me? I don't drink coffee usually.. and I have even taken 1000 mg of caffeine pills at once and it did nothing for me..The only time I drink coffee is when I am deluded into beliving that it will wake me up when I am driving and yawning alot.. when I was a kid I used to drink mountain dew and felt the effect of the caffeine.. but not anymore..
After day two ..... my blood pressure goes down and my palpitations become so bad that when i stand up its like im running.I tried adding electrolites but it still persists and prevents me from continuing the fast :( Do you have any advice on how to avoid crazy heart rate and low blood pressure? Thanks!
Check hormones. Also; what food do you eat when not fasting? My experience is that when I am fat adapted (from eating a healthy ketogenic diet), or even better metabolically flexibel, I don´t have these problems. However; if my body is expecting high amounts of carbohydrates, I can experience similar symptoms as you mention here.
Thank you for you videos, it helps me to do IF . I am 70 years old and have hypothyroid since 20 years ago . I have been doing IF since March from 12 hours to 18h . Since last week I do OMD 2 times a week . The first time i did at 18h i got my blood sugar, in my shocking surprise it was 157. Then I did at 23hours it was 96. Never my blood sugar was upper than 96 ; even after one hour or 2 hours of eating my blood sugar is never more than 123. I haven’t done A1c for so long because my doctor Always says your blood sugar is excellent. The second day I did OMD at 23h was 1 07 which is high for me , the day I don’t do OMD I do only 14 or 16 h the blood sugar is 89 or 93 maximum. If I eat 3 times it is 86 or 88. What is your advise? Thanks in advance
Hello, please discuss with your doctor. We cannot provide answers on personal medical questions without a thorough examination of the overall situation.
Do you eat a lot of sugar? OMD is not that effective when you put during that meal a lot of sugar inside of your body. (sugar is also in ready meals and drinks!) Just my opinion. 🤫
Actually I don’t eat sugary food , only fruits and not too much . So I eat about 80 to 100 gr. Carbs. Last time I did OMD( I do 2 times a week) at 23h my glucose was91 so I continue to measure to see how it goes. Thanks for your question
Does anyone have any advice on hair loss after fasting? I lost around 50% of my hair 3 mo this after my last 15day fast and it has scared me to fast again though I really want to. I fast 24-72hrs once in a while but it's not the same :(
Do you take any supplements during your fast? Consider taking some while not eating, especially *biotin* for your hair. Maybe you have some toxins stored in your hair & scalp and the fast is purging those toxins. Has your hair returned? Another thought: if you have access to a sauna, use that daily to help your body detoxify. Wash with Castile soap afterwards so you don’t reabsorb toxins (re: dr. Rhonda Patrick’s discussion about detoxification via sauna).
Hi, can long term fasting help with inflammation like tendonitis? If so, would you suggest a particular type of fasting? At the moment I am doing a 3 day dry-fast once a month
You can read a very interesting book The Nourishing Broth by Sally Fallon. I do 5 day fasts with bone broth (cartilage) and my bad knees heal on the fifth day. Also there is a great book The Breuss Cancer Cure by Rudolf Breuss. Good recipe for a long fast.
Steven Robertson I didn’t hear her speak to “breaking” a fast as much as the benefits of taking a break from caffeine. She seems to be saying it’s preferable for the type of fasting the clinic recommends.
Dr. Francoise, I would like to know how often to fast. I am a 55 year old woman who is about 20 pounds overweight, but otherwise I am very healthy. I have done 24 and 36 hour fasts, but sporadically. I would like to adopt a routine I can stick with forever. Once a month seems too infrequent. Is one 36 hour fast per week advisable? I don’t expect fasting, itself, to help me lose lose weight. I know weight loss comes when I am more in balance. My primary interest in fasting is in the health benefits and spiritual practice. Thank you 🙏
Hello and thanks for the question. We answered it in some previous Q&A videos. If you don’t want to or cannot go to a place like ours for longer and medically supervised fasts, you might benefit from intermittent fasting that you can do easily at home. You can for example skip breakfast or dinner and automatically are in a 14-16 hours fasting window.
Clinic Buchinger Wilhelmi thank you for the response! It is a dream of mind to come for a long fast at one of the clinics, but it will probably be at least a couple of years before that is possible. Thank you for the advice and the way you bring the clinic to us here in CZcams.
I am 67 and started IF and a keto diet 3 months ago. I gave up sugar and processed food years ago but needed to loose 40 lbs. I try not to eat after 6pm or dinner until 1 or 2 the next day. I keep my carbs around 20 grams. I did a 2 day fast the first month but am just happy with what I am doing now. It took me 2 months to loose 20 lbs. and 5 weeks to loose the next 10 lbs. I take certain supplements. There are videos about this by Dr. Berg, Jason Fung on you tube.
Thank you for your question. In this video, you will learn everything about drinking during fasting, including what you should and should not drink. Here is the link: czcams.com/video/9qLFn7zGy-I/video.html
Yeasterday I tried to go on a fast, but only after about 8h, I had really strong headache, and in the evening I couldn't even fall asleep so I had spinach soup. Today I am trying again fasting but one cup of coffee ☕ black, and black tea aswell. Should help with the headaches 😩 🤘
Hello Terka. It takes some time for the body to complete the switch in metabolism, which may take up to 3 days. A medical practicioner experienced in fasting would be of great help to eliviate the symptoms. You may want to watch our video on electrolytes and fasting supplements here 👉 czcams.com/video/WSA949nbDtc/video.html
Thank you for your question. We recommend abstaining from coffee of any kind during fasting so that the taste receptors for stimulants can be resensitized. For us, fasting is about abstinence and that you completely relieving your body of everything.
Coffee is not recommended. But I always drink coffee on 1-5 day fasts, those are difficult first days. After 4-5 days I don't need anything, the body adopts.
My mother was doing a 42 hour weekly dry fasting for 40 years. Cold showers twice a day are mandatory in the system that she follows, as the body takes water through the skin. She is 75 now and in perfect shape.
How do we submit questions? Ihave two, is a vitamin I.V ok while water fasting? I've done a few before. Its just an IV bag loaded in vitamins. Also I bought this product this product advertised on the Joe Rogan podcast called liquid I.V. Its supposed to triple your hydration, full of all the electrolytes. But it does have 45 calories and 11g of sugar. so wondering if that would be ok during a water fast?
@@Honeyddripdiddler Just google it. Celery, string beans, zucchini, parsley, water and strain when fasting or blend it/puree, when not fasting. I don't know why your health is declining. If you have not healthy shapeless stool (poop), do a comprehensive stool analysis that should include H. Pylori, Candida and B. Hominis. That's the problem. I highly recommend a small book The Breuss Cancer Cure, which has a great recipe for a 42 day fast against cancer. I did 21 days and then 27 days. Many things got healed inside of me, but not everything. Also read The Nourishing Broth by Sally Fallon. Good luck.
They tell you to fast every time before bloodwork or surgery right? Maybe it could help to point this out and ask about adding a few hours and doing a fast when not going to surgery. The medicine companies know that good marketing is to tell us "ask your dr. about.." Because then the Dr. will have to read up on the drug. So even if we've done our research and we go to the Dr. anyway we should pretend we don't know and ask lol. So maybe they will start doing research on fasting if they haven't already.
Protein and fat are hard to digest for the digestive system that is asleep. Easy carbs for energy, like steamed carrots and beets and a little butter or at least olive oil is what I do.
Yes as they said 😊 and do NOT eat fruit (=sugar) I once upon a time long ago thought/told that was healthy 😬. Destroyed my 7 day fasts Health advice has come a LONG way
Leider nein. Wir haben auch deutsche videos in einer eigenen Playlist (m.czcams.com/play/PLJqYz5EidEv0DgYj7RGTIDWQbi0Bpxof5.html) aber dieses leider nicht...
Hello and thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we can not answer this question. Please contact your doctor. Best regards Your Buchinger Wilhelmi Team
During a long fasting 4 to 7 days is it ok to brush your teeth- I have read somewhere that fluoride in the toothpaste breaks your fast. Kindly clarify.
I just finished a 7-Day fast and everytime I got hungry I just said ain't going to happen not going to eat because I know my body is rebuilding.
Check with my doctor? The problem is My family doctor does not know as much as I do about fasting.
We know this can be an issue. Did you try to find a doctor that is experienced with fasting in your area already?
@Maia Harland What does this have to do with this video? This comment does not belong here.
@Dax Malcolm What does this have to do with this video? This comment does not belong here.

I walk a couple days a week and do pushups, planks, leg lifts most days.The weight is just falling off, I'm never going back to my old unhealthy lifestyle.
Can we have unsweetened black coffee during our fasting period?
@@thetree7694 Yes, coffee is ok black (no creamers or adding sugar).

How long are your fasts? I am on the sixth day of water fasting.
At last! Someone who speaks upon the spiritual component of fasting... to me the most fascinating and least discussed.

I'm a lot more in tune with the source of Love in me and I more easily regain control of my chakras whenever I fast. But woowww, 40 days!?!?! Is that truly possible even when secluded from the outer world???
@@giscardstanleybrutus4286 it was possible as a result of my long process of having done many fasts.

Alright, that makes a lot of sense! To be honest, I am someone who's chosen by the Kundalin energy, the divine energy of life! And anyone who's come to the point of being able to experience the kundalini every night is blessed by the heavens above. Kundalini Energy always chooses the most humble souls. That's why humility is the greatest virtue of life, because it opens the door to spiritual transformation. Gratitude is also a great virtue by the way.
Question though:
Did you withdraw yourself from society on any of these 2 occasions?
wow, wonderful information. I am writing from Mexico. I have been practicing intermitent fasting or time restricted eating for two years now. Initially motivated because I realized I was insulin resistant and reading about fasting really got me into feeling that after more than 20 years of going on diets loosing and gaining weight again and again I finally found what I needed to get back on track with my health. I just can't understand why this does not get world wide spread, now more than ever than even kids are getting sick from covid because the obesity epidemic that all the process carbohydrates and foods have managed to introduce into this side of the world. Also I have opened my eyes to fructose... The longer I have fasted is four days, but now I realized that I should not drink coffee... and I have .. so I will try to change that in my next fast. Thanks...
Try a dry fasting for autophagy! It's amazing! And because you mentioned the coronavirus... check out the wonderful interview with a lot of doctors initiated by Tony Robbins! It's an eye opener! (available as a podcast for free)
Why is coffee not good during fasting?
Does coffee during fasting stop the stem cell proliferation?
it is very nice to hear your psycological and spiritual experiences. very much needed "food" for the soul. in this time and place.
Sounds like Lisa came to the clinic first as a patient, and it must have made a big difference and big impression. Interview her to have her tell her story.
What are your guidelines for fasting? Is it NO food at all or is it not eating between meals? Or is it one meal, two small meals? Please tell me specifically what your guidelines are.
Yh, when fasting just let it go. Sit back and just go with the flow. If you can.
Interesting! There is a saying, you are what you eat! Now, the thought is Who are you when you don't eat!!!The answer is an "Expression" than an "Information"....🙏
In my humble opinion our bodies tend to follow suit as we push our limits. Having said that,we must listen to our bodies too as François said 🙏
Thank you for your comment! 💙
These women are incredible to listen to, the older one is such an inspirational guide and a beautiful wise storyteller.
Thank you for your kind comment!
Very interesting!! In Islam, there is a yearly obligatory intermitted fasting for a month (Ramadan), then recommend an extra 10 days. And after that recommended 2 intermitted fasting days (Mondays and Thursdays) every week. Fasting the month of Ramadan is an obligatory pillar of Islam. Very good to hear that fasting is very beneficial.
Thank you so much. This is one of my favorite videos. Could you please elaborate on taking electrolytes while water only prolonged fasting (potassium, sodium, magensium, calcium). I have noticed huge benefites when taking them and even reducing the dangers when breaking the fast. Thank you...please keep on sharing your knowledge with us
Thanks for your feedback and question. We’ll answer it in one of the upcoming videos.
How much do you take of each of yhe electrolytes? I am thinking to do so aswell
Look up a Bieler broth recipe. That's what I take for electrolytes.
I rely on coffee for energy way to much. I get a deeper rest when I do a long term fast without coffee and I wake up more energized than I do than when I drink coffee.
Great to hear! Thanks for sharing your personal experience. 😊
Lookig up while keeping the head and chin paralell to the floor, for 15+ seconds is supposed to stimulate energy.
Thank you Dr. Francoise Wilhelmi de Toledo for sharing exactly where I am in my fasting journey. I have enjoyed your extraordinary work and brilliant support in more than one of your videos.
Thanks again❤
Thank you for your lovely words.❤
Excellent!! Thank you for informing us about important topics than can save and improve our lives.
Regarding answer about coffee ☕️ there is not enough scientific background but very clear to persuade not to take coffee during fasting. Thanks for interview. Useful.
Loving this channel! Started my journey with the Wim hof method and a 16/8 fast. and now on a 20/4 cycle. What do you think about Wim hof and his cold exposure and breathing therapy in combination with Fasting! it's been absolutely amazing, but I would love to know more about the science about the combination of the those three (Breath-work, Cold exposure, & Fasting)
It must be clarified that repeating a day routine for a reasonable time is not recommended by specialists in the field. The body is so amazingly clever, that it adapts to a repeated behaviour and makes the short cut AGAIN. One should have flexible eating habits and try to cheat the clever body.
The same is applied to the gym and physical training, being not expected by the clever body and changing routines every now and then.
You guys rock for making all this precious quality info available and for demystifying the topic of fasting!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your kind comment! 👍
great explanation why coffee and caffeine are best eliminated altogether while fasting…just allowing my body/mind/soul to rest & rejuvenate without stimulation. thank you!
Thank you for your great feedback, we appreciate it!
I do water fast every year for 21 days. During my last fast I walked 10000 steps in the morning every single day:, performed 10 pull ups, 10 push ups, and 20 body weight squats (low intensity medium duration exercise is fine). I lost ~25 pounds adjusted for water weight. I did consume a cocktail of salts after 7 days every other day.
I dont feel loss of drive during the fast. First 3 days are the hardest.
Have more sea salt or Himalayan salt if your having cravings, feeling tired, weak or light headed.
You are both so delightful to watch and listen to! A sweet spirit exudes from you both.
Thank you for your kind feedback!
Awesome I have coffee with honey and tea or put a drop of extra olive oil in the coffee when you’re fasting works great and also turmeric and also❤
Thanks for sharing! 🙏
You are both lovely ladies, very enjoyable to watch and listen to. Thank you!

Thank you for uploading this magnificent information. We will.only benefit from that. Fasting is a vital.part of spiritual life.
But I have a professional question: as an opera singer I need always energy in my body and muscles particularly to be able to sing especially high notes.
How can I do that while fasting?
Thank you!
My favourite video of your s Dr François. Thank you very much!!!!!
Thankyou for this post. I completed a 21-day water-only fast November 2018. There were SO many amazing benefits and I just loved it. I felt GREAT- full of energy for the first 9 days. However, from day 10, my energy dropped and didn't pick up, I draaaagged myself through to day 21. Can you tell me why i did not have any energy? I was not hungry, I had great mental clarity, I was remembering ALL dreams- completely, and so many other positive aspects- I loved the experience- But no energy? Can you tell me why? I wasn't hypoglycemic, i was sleeping most of the days,
It’s difficult to answer without knowing your medical situation. We do not offer water only fasts but Buchinger therapeutic fasting. From our studies according to the Buchinger Wilhelmi Programme, we know that people normally feel rather energetic while fasting. But we are monitoring our patients extremely close with two doctors consultations per week, extensive blood analysis, daily checks with the nurse etc. Was your fasting accompanied by an experienced fasting doctor? Did you check your blood?
@@BuchingerWilhelmiFasting Hi, yes i was at a clinic, supervised by medical staff. I thought i would go into ketosis and draw on fat reserves, but i just didnt seem to get energy back after day 9 and really struggled to the finishing line (21 days). I cant reiterate enough the clarity and other fantastic longevity benefits i know extended fasting get, but its just that energy thing? I understand it is hard to comment without having me there and monitoring me yourself- i do understand that x i am just stumped as to why.
You're an inspiration, we enjoy your videos and benefit greatly from the content. Thank you
Thank you so much for your kind feedback!
Am in my 4th day of fasting.
Amazing video and sound quality. May I ask what kind of cameras you are using? That will help me for my plans to have podcasts.
Sure. We started this series during corona since we received so many questions and wanted to provide immediate help. Therefore no special equipment was purchased. It’s two iphones ;-)
Thank you for sharing and fasting in a spiritual way to give you strength, mind and body love the video😊
Thank you for your comment! 🙏
I’m near 70 and having a hip replacement in a few months ... I won’t be able to go to your center and I’m hoping to be in good health for the operation so any tips to water fast as I’m living with people that I cook for as I’m a carer for my husband... really appreciate all tips thanks 🙏
I personally would do a bone broth fast after the hip replacement. I regularly do 5 day bone broth fasts and my knees with all worn-out cartilage magically heal after that short fast. I also recommend a book by Sally Fallon The Nourishing Broth.
@@dinnerwithkirill6257 Thanks for that and it’s a great idea as I’ll have something warm to look forward to... I’ll have a look at her book 🙏
This is such valuable information. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! 🙏

Thank you for shering !
I wish I can fast for more than 24 hrs. It is difficult for me even with my daily 18/6 to maintain a decent weight, and I have tried to eat more calories by increasing fat. My fat just falls off without effort. I have a hard time gaining more than 100 lbs lately. My body eat itself too fast. I have some black coffee with one teaspoon of heavy cream at 7a and nothing else until my first meal at 12-1p.
Thank you, excellent detailed explanations. For a moment I though the episode would promote caffeine during fasting. Happy the conclusions match ancient practices. We did not evolve to drink most stimulants. However, for certain persons a small amount of dietary stimulants have been shown to beneficial, especially in the short term.
Thank you very much for your great feedback and comment!
I did OMAD for some time. I drink black coffee and sometimes with coconut milk. Recently i was found to have GERD and inflammation of the stomach. Now i have to cut out coffee. I understand from listening to Dr Jonathan Aviv and Jamie Koufman than many people end up with reflux problems with intermittent fasting. I'm wondering whether my condition were caused by the omad and coffee. 🤔
Hello, we hope you understand that we cannot give medical advice on social media. To find an answer to this question, you have to be interviewed and fully examined by a doctor experienced in fasting. He or she will help you to find the best therapy for you. We wish you all the best!
@@BuchingerWilhelmiFasting Hi I'm not asking for medical advice. I'm asking whether fasting can result in undesirable side effects...
Dear Allana undesirable side effects can be very individual. And since you are asking about your condition - this can be very individual as well. There so many parameters to consider that we recommend consult with a doctor experienced in fasting. We wish you all the best!
This is why i switched to decaf coffee. For the first 3 days i only drink water and black decaf coffee. After the 72 hours and so far up to 144 or 6 days i put i tbsp of heavy whipping cream in it. I feel no hunger at all.
I have just finished the 4th day of a five day fast and feel great after the first three days of feeling tired. My question to the good Dr is why is sipping green tea (which contains caffeine) acceptable while black coffee without additives not acceptable?
Green tea has very little caffein
So… does it mean decaffeinated coffee is alright?
Thank you ladies. Always so interesting.
Please, for "chronic" conditions, to you recommend extended fasting?? Intermittent fasting takes so long...I've been reading about extended fasting some stories are just life changing...Thank you
This depends on the individual situation. Please discuss your personal situation with an experienced medical fasting doctor.
Real Talk!
Thanks for all the amazing info
Thank you, it s all the times very interesting...
Thank you so much for your comment!
What do you mean by fasting? There does not seem to be any guidance as to whether this is a Hunger strike equivalent where you don't eat at all or partial such as 5:2, 12 or 16 hour fasting etc?
Intermittent fasting .......
And any and all.....
1 day.. 7...10 or 30.
Even up to a year
You'll still be pooping soilds out.

Hello, I do intermittent fasting (22- 2 ie one meal a day) and have about 100 ml of black coffee in the morning during my fasting phase. Presume that is ok?
Someone on medication and fasting how can they go about it.
Intermittent fasting is how not to be tired when intermittent fasting. Truly, after your first successful three day fast you'll have so much autophagy going on when you re-feed you'll be bursting with fresh mitochondria. Add a few cold showers and some exercise in and you'll be flying.
Great video. Tell me what I need to know
Thank you for your comment!
I’m trying out fasting but want to do a longer one. I usually take a version of ritalin / methylphenidate during the work day to help me focus a bit (ADHD) but I’ve found that these pills are not as effective as they used to be say 10 years ago (I usually take a 2 or 3 week break from the pills once a year). So I’m thinking that if I try to do a longer fast this time I should also stop taking methylphenidate (it’s a stimulant like coffee) and then maybe after a week long fast when I get back into the work routine I would find them to be more effective again. I’ll update this comment if it works :)
Very informative
What about adding a little bit of celery juice to the fast to supply electrolytes? Does anyone do this?
Celery has the highest amount of natural nitrate salts. As you know they use nitrates to preserve bacon, ham, etc. Not many people know that celery increases blood pressure. Not in everyone but in many. It may make your heart pound a lot and you will not be able to sleep after many days of fasting. Just be aware. For electrolytes there is a perfect both for fasting, look up Bieler broth recipe, just strain the veggies.
@@dinnerwithkirill6257 Thank you, I was not aware of that. In general is celery juice health full and healing on a regular diet or is it something not to have too much of? I’ve been using it almost daily. And actually my blood pressure has been going up. I didn’t think it was related to that though.
I have been fasting for the last 21 days I'm heading for 40 days but struggling with insomnia I
What advice would you give me so I can't sleep
What advice can you give me
About fasting and insomnia ?
We do I have it in the first place
I thought fasting would have made it better
I was doing a 42 day Breuss juice fast, but stopped after 27 days because I couldn't sleep and my heart was punding too hard.
My friend did 60 day water fast and he was only taking vitamin suppositories. His fast went very well. I am not answering your question but the info still may help one way or another.
Vielen Dank für die informativen Videos :). Vor einigen Wochen hatte ich eine ernüchternde Fastenerfahrung. Ich faste seit einigen Jahren regelmäßig um Ostern herum für 10-14 Tage. In diesem Jahr hatte ich unmittelbar vorher eine sehr stressbelastete Zeit. Außerdem war meine Vorbereitung offenbar nicht optimal. In den Jahren zuvor begann ich bereits 2 Wochen vorher sukzessive weniger zu essen und war zudem streng vegan. Laxatives verwendete ich nie, was mir keine Probleme bereitete. Diesmal war es jedoch anders. Ich hatte starke Kopfschmerzen und musste mich übergeben, woraufhin ich das Fasten abbrach. Ist dies mit Abführmitteln zu vermeiden? Oder spielt der Stress auch eine Rolle?
Hallo Stina,
Vielen Dank für Ihre Frage und das Teilen Ihrer Erfahrungen.
Natürlich spielen die individuellen Faktoren wie Stress, Vorbereitung, usw. beim Fasten eine große Rolle und jede Fastenerfahrung ist unterschiedlich.
Grundsätzlich werden allerdings durch die Entleerung des Darms weniger Giftstoffe aus dem Darm absorbiert. Das Risiko, an Kopfschmerzen zu leiden, sinkt und auch das Hungergefühl wird durch den entleerten Darm gestillt. Der Grund dafür ist, dass der Magen beim Fasten keine Signale an den Darm sendet, sich zu entleeren, weil er nicht mehr gefüllt ist.
Falls Sie noch weitere Fragen haben, zögern Sie nicht uns zu kontaktieren.
Viele Grüße
Ihr Buchinger Wilhelmi Team
Can we drink electrolytes during long water fasting
What does it mean if coffee does absolutely nothing for me? I don't drink coffee usually.. and I have even taken 1000 mg of caffeine pills at once and it did nothing for me..The only time I drink coffee is when I am deluded into beliving that it will wake me up when I am driving and yawning alot..
when I was a kid I used to drink mountain dew and felt the effect of the caffeine.. but not anymore..
After day two ..... my blood pressure goes down and my palpitations become so bad that when i stand up its like im running.I tried adding electrolites but it still persists and prevents me from continuing the fast :( Do you have any advice on how to avoid crazy heart rate and low blood pressure? Thanks!
Have your hormone levels checked. I had NONE....(as in...no estrogen or testosterone)
Check hormones. Also; what food do you eat when not fasting? My experience is that when I am fat adapted (from eating a healthy ketogenic diet), or even better metabolically flexibel, I don´t have these problems. However; if my body is expecting high amounts of carbohydrates, I can experience similar symptoms as you mention here.
For me, taking electrolytes really helped with palpitations and low blood pressure
Can you smoke weed while fasting?
ABSOLUTELY
@@dessaysso lol she just said it’s to cleanse yourself of addictions lol even coffee. You might want to rethink that.
Bigger challenge when the munchies set in 😂
What are the symptoms that force me to stop my fasting?
Thank you for the question. We’ll answer it in one of our next videos!
@@BuchingerWilhelmiFasting thanks in forward.
Can you please also talk about long term fasting and workout (sport)?
Yes, that’s on our list already :)
Can you do etended fast with out medical sepervision and what can you espect the frist time

You can find all information on our website: www.buchinger-wilhelmi.com/en/. We are looking forward to welcome you. 🙌
Thank you for you videos, it helps me to do IF . I am 70 years old and have hypothyroid since 20 years ago . I have been doing IF since March from 12 hours to 18h . Since last week I do OMD 2 times a week . The first time i did at 18h i got my blood sugar, in my shocking surprise it was 157. Then I did at 23hours it was 96. Never my blood sugar was upper than 96 ; even after one hour or 2 hours of eating my blood sugar is never more than 123. I haven’t done A1c for so long because my doctor Always says your blood sugar is excellent. The second day I did OMD at 23h was 1 07 which is high for me , the day I don’t do OMD I do only 14 or 16 h the blood sugar is 89 or 93 maximum. If I eat 3 times it is 86 or 88. What is your advise? Thanks in advance
Hello, please discuss with your doctor. We cannot provide answers on personal medical questions without a thorough examination of the overall situation.
Do you eat a lot of sugar? OMD is not that effective when you put during that meal a lot of sugar inside of your body. (sugar is also in ready meals and drinks!) Just my opinion. 🤫
Actually I don’t eat sugary food , only fruits and not too much . So I eat about 80 to 100 gr. Carbs. Last time I did OMD( I do 2 times a week) at 23h my glucose was91 so I continue to measure to see how it goes. Thanks for your question

Does anyone have any advice on hair loss after fasting? I lost around 50% of my hair 3 mo this after my last 15day fast and it has scared me to fast again though I really want to. I fast 24-72hrs once in a while but it's not the same :(
Do you take any supplements during your fast? Consider taking some while not eating, especially *biotin* for your hair. Maybe you have some toxins stored in your hair & scalp and the fast is purging those toxins. Has your hair returned? Another thought: if you have access to a sauna, use that daily to help your body detoxify. Wash with Castile soap afterwards so you don’t reabsorb toxins (re: dr. Rhonda Patrick’s discussion about detoxification via sauna).
Hi, can long term fasting help with inflammation like tendonitis? If so, would you suggest a particular type of fasting? At the moment I am doing a 3 day dry-fast once a month
You can read a very interesting book The Nourishing Broth by Sally Fallon. I do 5 day fasts with bone broth (cartilage) and my bad knees heal on the fifth day. Also there is a great book The Breuss Cancer Cure by Rudolf Breuss. Good recipe for a long fast.
So black coffee and green tea with only water breaks a fast?
Steven Robertson I didn’t hear her speak to “breaking” a fast as much as the benefits of taking a break from caffeine. She seems to be saying it’s preferable for the type of fasting the clinic recommends.
Longer fast i do less coffee tolerance i experience
Thank you so much ❤️
You're welcome and thank you for your comment.
Is it safe to fast everyday ? 16:8
Dr. Francoise, I would like to know how often to fast. I am a 55 year old woman who is about 20 pounds overweight, but otherwise I am very healthy. I have done 24 and 36 hour fasts, but sporadically. I would like to adopt a routine I can stick with forever. Once a month seems too infrequent. Is one 36 hour fast per week advisable? I don’t expect fasting, itself, to help me lose lose weight. I know weight loss comes when I am more in balance. My primary interest in fasting is in the health benefits and spiritual practice. Thank you 🙏
Hello and thanks for the question. We answered it in some previous Q&A videos.
If you don’t want to or cannot go to a place like ours for longer and medically supervised fasts, you might benefit from intermittent fasting that you can do easily at home. You can for example skip breakfast or dinner and automatically are in a 14-16 hours fasting window.
Clinic Buchinger Wilhelmi thank you for the response! It is a dream of mind to come for a long fast at one of the clinics, but it will probably be at least a couple of years before that is possible. Thank you for the advice and the way you bring the clinic to us here in CZcams.
I am 67 and started IF and a keto diet 3 months ago. I gave up sugar and processed food years ago but needed to loose 40 lbs. I try not to eat after 6pm or dinner until 1 or 2 the next day. I keep my carbs around 20 grams. I did a 2 day fast the first month but am just happy with what I am doing now. It took me 2 months to loose 20 lbs. and 5 weeks to loose the next 10 lbs. I take certain supplements. There are videos about this by Dr. Berg, Jason Fung on you tube.
Do medications break a fast? I am on medication for a rapid heart rate and thyroid medication.
Thanks for the question. It's noted!
As said - we’ll pick that question up and answer it in one of our next video. This is not an easy one and a medical doctor needs to answer it.
Is the good doctor an Eastern Orthodox Christian? If not she certainly has a lot of icons.
Is there any concern about weight loss for those who quickly lose weight and are already very slim?
We are touching this topic in the following video (it’s in German but with subtitles): m.czcams.com/video/oX8q7BYmWh8/video.html
Are diet soft drinks like Coke No Sugar or zero sugar energy drinks okay for a fast (> 24 hours in duration)?
Thank you for your question. In this video, you will learn everything about drinking during fasting, including what you should and should not drink. Here is the link: czcams.com/video/9qLFn7zGy-I/video.html
@@BuchingerWilhelmiFasting Thank you.
You're welcome.
Has there been any problems with intermittent fasting like in a 16/8 situation with pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Our clinic is specialized in Buchinger Therapeutic Fasting and we do not recommend to do it during pregnancy or breast feeding.
Yeasterday I tried to go on a fast, but only after about 8h, I had really strong headache, and in the evening I couldn't even fall asleep so I had spinach soup. Today I am trying again fasting but one cup of coffee ☕ black, and black tea aswell. Should help with the headaches 😩 🤘
Hello Terka. It takes some time for the body to complete the switch in metabolism, which may take up to 3 days. A medical practicioner experienced in fasting would be of great help to eliviate the symptoms. You may want to watch our video on electrolytes and fasting supplements here 👉 czcams.com/video/WSA949nbDtc/video.html
Would decaffeinated coffee be different?
Thank you for your question. We recommend abstaining from coffee of any kind during fasting so that the taste receptors for stimulants can be resensitized. For us, fasting is about abstinence and that you completely relieving your body of everything.
Are we allowed to drink black coffee during our fasting period?
Coffee is not recommended. But I always drink coffee on 1-5 day fasts, those are difficult first days. After 4-5 days I don't need anything, the body adopts.
Thank you, I do 24hour dry fast weekly. What is your opinion on dry fasting
My mother was doing a 42 hour weekly dry fasting for 40 years. Cold showers twice a day are mandatory in the system that she follows, as the body takes water through the skin. She is 75 now and in perfect shape.
How do we submit questions? Ihave two, is a vitamin I.V ok while water fasting? I've done a few before. Its just an IV bag loaded in vitamins. Also I bought this product this product advertised on the Joe Rogan podcast called liquid I.V. Its supposed to triple your hydration, full of all the electrolytes. But it does have 45 calories and 11g of sugar. so wondering if that would be ok during a water fast?
I do Bieler broth for electrolytes.
A friend of mine did an extremely successful 60 day water fast with multivitamin suppositories only.
@@dinnerwithkirill6257 what is bieler broth? My health is declining . I’m very young . It’s amazing my decay . Fasting seems the only way to help
@@Honeyddripdiddler Just google it. Celery, string beans, zucchini, parsley, water and strain when fasting or blend it/puree, when not fasting.
I don't know why your health is declining. If you have not healthy shapeless stool (poop), do a comprehensive stool analysis that should include H. Pylori, Candida and B. Hominis. That's the problem. I highly recommend a small book The Breuss Cancer Cure, which has a great recipe for a 42 day fast against cancer. I did 21 days and then 27 days. Many things got healed inside of me, but not everything. Also read The Nourishing Broth by Sally Fallon.
Good luck.
Can we add a little bit himalayan pink salt in a cup of warm water during fasting?
Dr Berg definitely recommends.
The average US family doctor, in my experience, is woefully skeptical, if not hostile, to the idea of prolonged fasting.
For this reason, we at Buchinger Wilhelmi are conducting research to scientifically prove the effects of fasting.
They tell you to fast every time before bloodwork or surgery right? Maybe it could help to point this out and ask about adding a few hours and doing a fast when not going to surgery. The medicine companies know that good marketing is to tell us "ask your dr. about.." Because then the Dr. will have to read up on the drug. So even if we've done our research and we go to the Dr. anyway we should pretend we don't know and ask lol. So maybe they will start doing research on fasting if they haven't already.
Whats the best kind of food for breaking a 16 hour fast?
Protein and fat
Protein and fat are hard to digest for the digestive system that is asleep. Easy carbs for energy, like steamed carrots and beets and a little butter or at least olive oil is what I do.
Yes as they said 😊 and do NOT eat fruit (=sugar) I once upon a time long ago thought/told that was healthy 😬.

During a long fasting 4 to 7 days is it ok to brush your teeth- I have read somewhere that fluoride in the toothpaste breaks your fast. Kindly clarify.
Don’t use toothpaste with fluoride. It’s very bad for overall health and there are many toothpastes without flouride, SLS, SLES...
Don't swallow the toothpaste, rinse.
You can brush with baking soda
Omg no people are literally having physical fatigue. I could barely come out of bed!!!
In intermittent fasting can we take milk
You should avoid it while fasting.
I hope you're talking about plant milk? Animal milk is not for humans!
What about cream?
