6pm until 9.30 am
I'm in shock. Like totally speechless.
I just went thru a 48 plus hour fast, unexpectedly due to a stomach bug. I had no appetite, and could barely bring myself to sip on some water with LMNT in it throughout the last 2 plus days.
When i woke up this morning, after sleeping a full 10 hours, which i never do, = My Legs Had NO Swelling in the calves/ ankles as always!! They didn't even look like my own legs!!
Compression socks don't even come close to the results that a 48 hour fast done.
Not to mention, i lost about 4 lbs in the last couple of days too!
Oh, & today, i feel much better!! ❤
I'm just trying to reduce insulin resistance, so I'm fasting for 16 hours or so a day. So far, it's much easier than I thought it would be, so thank you for your support and advice.
👏👏
Kait, you have inspired and motivated me so much! I've gone low-carb and intermittent fast between 8pm and 10am, and use organic electrolytes in my water. I exercise daily with either yoga, weights or aerobic, as well as jog once a week. In two months, I have lost 25 pounds and gained so much confidence and energy. Finally, getting healthy is something that is easy and a no-nonsense approach! Thank you!
I've been doing 72 hour fasts every week for the last 36 weeks, I've been carnivore for 13 months (zero carb and zero sugar). I have dropped 40 lbs, 7 inches off my waist, and inches off everywhere. I fast every week for the autophagy for all the things you spoke about and decrease the loose, saggy, skin. So what say you Kait, keep it up ? I'm 72 by the way.
Wow. I'm only 66. And really need to work on my health. You have truly inspired me. 😊
I've done a 48 hour fast one time. It was so hard. I did it to clean my body and healing. Next time I want to try 72 hour fast. Idk how to last that long. I guess I need a fasting routine.
I wish my car would auto-phagy!😊
I started 2+ years ago daily fasting. I even pushed up to omad. Got excellent results to reverse my prediabetes and other minor health problems. But after 2 years done that i cut down to 14-16 hours daily till now. The reason is that i went to underweight, not seriously but lightly at BMI 18 or a bit below. I have excellent health at 71, no prescriptions and no drugs of any kind. Simply i wanted to gain weight to normal level for a good body reserve. Work pretty well for me as i also implemented lap swim routine into my daily walk (90 minutes daily). I noe reach 18.5 BMI. I stay with Mediterranean diet after trying keto and carnivore. They are good temporarily to fix some health issues but not as a long term eating. People should be careful with these special diets that can lead to problems, as human body needs varieties nutrients and we certainly don't know what is missing. Eat well with moderation. Only meat is not a solution and high fat is not good either.
Happy healthy life to everyone!
Well, congratulations to you on your healthy plans! And everybody is different but thanks for the advice❤
Love your breakdown of all of this!! You’re a doll❤
❤️
I have been fasting for 12 hours. I feel good and slowly losing weight. I may start extending it for 16 hours.
I have done several 5 day fast in the last few years. 5 days seems to be my limit, after that I start to feel weak and mental for starts setting in. Do feel great on day 4. I tend to fast if I am not feeling well and the fast definitely helps. Mostly though I do 1 to 2 meals a day. Have done that for a few decades now.
Great resume Coach K ! 🔥
Thank you for breaking that down so well, Kait. I follow the Keto dite with low carbs and no sugar. I fast for 16 hours to feel healthier overall, but I try for 20 hours when I can to lose a bit more weight. That also helps with pain and inflammation from arthritis. I hardly use my analgesic creams anymore and can walk further without my poles. ♥
I am omad...i usually eat in the early evening. Lots of greens, a bit of protein with its natural fats ,always an avocado 🥑. 42 hours is the longest i can maintain right now,maybe once or twice a month. My goals are all over the board right now. I maintain 179lbs to 183lbs. I still have this " squishy" but on my belly. Probably 5lbs worth ,I'd like that gone.
I've been doing 36 to 48 hour fast almost weekly. Otherwise I don't really see progress in weightless. I'm on Keto all other times but I see little progress 1-2 meals a day.
Good stuff.
so informative
Thanks for youre guidance and sharing youre knowledge, im gonna get some off that fasting salt with magnesium and kalium like you said and slowly built up to a 24 hour fast, im gonna use it to lose some bodyfat and i wanna get as healthy and happy as possible 😊 stay awsome cheers paul
Let me know how you go when you get up to 24 hours! You've got this!
Do you have videos on PSMF vs no food fasting?
I have type 2 diabetes. At about 4 am my blood sugar starts to rise, which I know is somewhat normal, but unless I eat something upon rising my blood sugar will continue to rise. This makes it pretty hard to do an intermittent fast. Any suggestions.?
I'm exactly same 🤦🏻🤦🏻
I’ve tried fasting in the past but I just can’t because I get waaaay too cold haha
Inflammation...that's what I'm dealing with now. Hurt my lower back ugh
Kait, Great video as always, my questions is how often can one fast? on a 24hrs fast how often? I don't see doing it more than once a week. On the 16hr fast, I'm sure that can happen every day but should it?
Hi Kait! Thanks for all of your helpful videos.
I have a question, actually a couple of questions…
I recently found out that I’m very iron deficient and believe it’s been causing some symptoms that seem to get more prominent when I’m doing keto. I put keto on hold almost two months ago while I was trying to trouble shoot why my heart rate was so fast. I was using electrolytes, but it didn’t seem to help. Now I know that palpitations and elevated heart rate can be symptoms of iron deficiency that most doctors seem to be aware of.
My insulin resistance is considerable, so I’m interested in trying a 54 hour fast to help with this, but I’m wondering if taking iron and vitamin c supplements while doing an extended fast is potentially problematic. I’m taking pills, not liquid or gummies, so I’m not worried about it breaking my fast necessarily, I just haven’t ever fasted while taking supplements. I’ve also never fasted longer than 24 hours, so I was wondering what your thoughts are.
Second part of the question, if I’m not able to address the insulin resistance and the iron deficiency at the same time, which would be better to address first? My doctors have been largely unhelpful with this kind of stuff as they seem to have no idea how to help someone who isn’t already a diabetic, and I’m hoping not to let it get that far!
I have been fasting 12 to 16 hours for years but when I have blood work done, my glucose is and has been high. My A1C is good so my doctor is not concerned but doesn't explain.
To be sure, I’d get my fasting insulin tested to make sure it’s 5 or under.
Does lemon water break a fast
What if you're diabetic and already underweight.
Can IF still be done for any benefit?
Did you say the flavored Sodii electrolytes will not break a fast? I usually use unflavored ones for this reason.
Correct!
Can you do a 16 hour fast before going to gym?
I was fasting 16 hrs each day and then my weight loss stalled. Any suggestions on moving the scale and also what about workouts? Should someone with a weight loss goal and just hitting menopause eat before resistance training? GOAL is to maintain muscle and lose body fat THANK YOU! ❤
This year I am doing at least a 100+ hour fast every month.
Then I also do random 1 to 4 day fasts whenever I feel like it but this month I have been doing alternate day eating (after my 100+ hour fast)
Could extended prolonged fasting help to heal a knee injury via stem cell production ? How long should one fast to maximize stem cell production ?
In theory… but there hasn’t been enough research to say for sure. Red light therapy for injury healing!!
Drs. Valter Longo and Jason Fung have talked about stem cell production really kicking in on days 4 & 5. Dr. Mindy Pelz talks about having an Achilles injury that just wouldn’t go away until she did a 5-day water fast. If I had an injury, I’d give it a go.
@@LauraB.335 thank you... I will go for 5 days or possibly 7 days... I am considering 14 days too to lose visceral fat and reverse insulin resistance but slightly concerned about losing muscle...
Ketosis is after 12 hours according to most apps. Thankfully I do 20. A video idea is carbs on keto. Cause online it says 20-50 net carbs while some say 20-50 total carbs. What say you?
>50g total for keto ❤️ Net can be misleading!
I was doing fasting for over two years. I went to see my nutritionist because my sugar levels were high and she does not want me to do it any longer, at least not for a while. She said because I go to the gym in the morning, I should not go on an empty stomach.................MINDY

I just wanted to say ---the first thumbnail I got in my notifications is my favorite kind, you with a nice smile. I personally think that the way you changed the thumbnail isn't necessary & certainly isn't the most flattering. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Have an awesome day! Thanks for teaching us. ~Mary
CZcams does A/B testing. The thumbnail most people click it will select. Thanks for your feedback ❤️ but CZcams will pick the one that is most effective 😅
@@HealthCoachKait C'mon, CZcams ---pretty smiles for the win!
Haha it’s based on the viewers! And usually shocked faces blow smiles out of the water 😂
Can someone tell me. Is there a limit on how many packets of electrolytes I can drink during a 48 hour fast?
Not unless you are taking one that is high in potassium. Sodium and magnesium your body will excrete excess. Too much potassium can be dangerous. 2,000-4,000mg is the recommended daily intake.
Thank you💕@@HealthCoachKait
I 'm doing 24 hour fast every day.
Does a cup of blueberries and coffee break a morning fast?
Blueberries yes
Will having coffee with cream beak my fast?
Yes. 😳
24 hours. You should be fasting for at least a week.
I usually do 18 hr. Fasting daily 2 meals daily and 1 weekly 18r. Dry fast
What’s your reason for dry fasting?
@@HealthCoachKait
What if you're diabetic and already underweight.
Can IF still be done for any benefit?
@@HealthCoachKait I am looking to; lower BP. & blood sugar, remove toxins, improve my immune system, & improve brain function ;)
Hi, I do Healthy Keto OMAD Only carbs I eat is quarter cup of blueberries. I just do it to stay healthy goal is keep doctors away.
😎☕👍
Hey Steve!
I get hungry cranky irratable and unpleasant to be around. Dont get half the benefits often claimed for doing it either. Glad it works so great for some though.
Not health advice, only pushing for "complement" sales. Sneaky.
