I am 53 years old. First done keto for 3 months, and after that keto carnivore for 3 months now and do a 20/4 fasting. Hg1ac from 6.3 down to 4.5. Lost 79 lbs. No more headaches, no more sinus problems, no more migraines, no more joint pain, skin tags gone, and my reading vision has improved from +1.2 to +1. all blood values are perfect.
I am doing same and i m 31 years old ...had sinus issues since childhood ...after doing carnivore diet + one meal a day...
Life is good đ
Wish me luck...I'm weak...however, I'm going for this because, I'm getting sick as he!!, lol...I'm 61 & have always been thin, active etc. But, I've abused my body by eating everything & anything sugar, sugar & more sugar...
I went from a health nut, in working out, eating healthy etc., until I had a serious life changing injury. Causing me 3 serious back surgeries/ fusions...hardware in & hardware out.
I became addicted to pain medication, starting eating anything I wanted.
At least for a time.
Because, now I'm suffering.
Prayers are needed...thank you guys...
God Bless...
@@reneezettek9230 you can do it. One day at the time. Thatâs what I keep telling myself. Good luck.
@@mariem.6042 thank you my friend...
@berikco please help me for keto diet couldn't understand it how can I do this
I'm on a 86 hour fast and quitting smoking cigarettes simultaneously, it's been a little rough i gotta say but at the end of this bridge i'm going to be a better healthier person. If i can do it, you can do it. (adapt first tho)
Same, but with coffee...but the timing is really great, in my case.
It's literally the hottest day of the year today (so far), where I live, I have nothing to eat (or coffee) in the house and not even my insane craving for one is worth, venturing outside in this heat đđ
Like, seriously. I couldn't have that planned any better.
With food shortages coming, we all should fast to learn how to get by with less.
VintageHigh 77 if you find you have a tough time quitting smoking get the book Alan Carr Easy Way To Quit Smoking (Amazon has it). Iâm 58 years old and had no desire to fail at quitting anymore, but I read the book two years ago and without white knuckling or weight gain I quit, and to date have had no backslide. Best of luck on your journey.
Wow, congratulations. Many don't recommend a person try to give up so many things at once. Too stressful and makes one prone to relapse on all of it. I hear you though.
@@Trthsker24 Are you in a war-torn country or something?
Just finished my second fast. First was 48 hours and the second was 72. Training is key to avoiding misery. I started off keto, then fasted after a couple of weeks and went to 2 meals a day shrinking to one a day before fasting again. Going to transition from Omad to one every other day and fast again in a few weeks. Iâve been obese since 10 years old and after finding this knowledge and applying it my fat is melting off and Im feeling better than I have in my life!
That is a wonderful story. Thank you so much for sharing. And every good wish to you! đȘ
"Training is key to avoiding misery" - true, but if you train during your fasting, you spend energy for exercise and that energy isn't used to eliminate toxins. Feeling miserable during a fast is actually a good sign - it means you are detoxifying.

I am a 44 year old man and have completed 6 months of intermittent fasting. I started at 280lbs and am now 198lbs. My A1c was at 7.3 and is now at 5.6 as of yesterday and my physician is thinking of taking me off my diabetes and blood pressure medications. I do one meal a day and every other week will do 3-4 day fasts. No tiredness, no hunger and it has only gotten easier to do. I love Dr. Ekbergâs videos and his information has been the cornerstone of my success. Thank you Dr. Ekberg!!
Used to watch this videos eating chips and drinking soda. Today Iâm watching it while breaking my 24h fast :âj
Matt Costa usually I break my fast with meet and eggs. Eating lot of meats (so I can keep my carbs low) and couple of eggs in omelette. Then I eat some nuts and I never feel hungry đ
Matt Costa nope never counted calories and sometimes I eat lot of junk and bad things and still losing wait. I fast 20 hours and have a 4 hour time. Believe just stick to it and you will lose ton of weight. Before this I failed so many times but now is like a lifestyle

I just ended my 24 hour fast. I am doing every other day. Feeling great, loosing weight (slowly because of my insulin resistance, but it is working ). Enjoying the lecture.
Thank you Andrea Hoffman. Good for you. Feeling great and losing some weight is the key. No hurry. I am on hour 38 of a 42 hour fast as I am writing this. I created a schedule for myself and plan to do a 42 hour fast every 2 weeks.
I m done 48 hours fasting
@@drekberg How is that working out for you?
Does this mean for 1 day, you can only have water?
I've been doing OMAD for a couple months, energy levels through the roof, I sleep better too. I eat Carbs but only about 25 grams a day. I might try the 3 or 4 meal a week diet. I know those Buddhist monks in China do it, heard some of them can fast for 7 or more days, 1 meal a week diet! The discipline requires to do that seems unfathomable!
I fast 16-20 hours everyday been doing it so much that it's just natural now.
I'M 10 days into my intermittent fasting. I eat over a 2 hr period per day, fast the other 22 hrs. How much weight have you lost ?
@@ryantourney2879 I have been doing OMAD for about 3 months and I have lost 30kg. But I also integrated walking everyday atleast 11k steps haven't missed a day and also gym 6 to 7 days a week. But I didn't do keto, is just not my thing and am all good eating unprocessed carbs.
I grew up with the idea , 3 MEALS a day with a snack between. I grew up tired and overweight.
Right? I realized that I do not need that but I do need water!
@@christy7516 we do need food, qualify and nutritious and we need to be fed at the right time and when needed. Extremist is not a good idea. And everyone built-in differently. I fast 18/6 daily and got good results but when I try longer, my body send me a message. Always listen to your body. It's not a formula one fit all. Even superfood are good for most people but may cause trouble to some others. An example is raspberries and peanut.
I have completed two 36 hour fasts in the past week. Feeling great but still a lot of belly fat to deal with. I'm following all of your youtube videos. Will try a longer fast now that I have realised that four unhealthy meals a day (plus snacks), are definitely nothing to indulge in.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. I've lost 41 lbs and am FINALLY normal BMI. 41lbs! Can you believe it? It did take me two years but I never stopped losing weight once I started your suggestions. 41lbs! Off all medications. Feeling great and grateful. Thank you!
We Muslims have been fasting a full month in a year according to Islam. But I am astonished that this sacrifice turned out to be such a healthy thing to do.. a hidden wisdom in fasting which we have now discovered just about three years ago. I have been fasting pretty much since two years ... amazing benefits
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam did say âfast you will get good healthâ over 1400 yrs ago
We need to follow Rasulullah teachings
doing Ramadan fasting as a kid, i am happy that this was introduced to me at a young age.
stay blessed and stay healthy everyone !!
But breaking the fast (when youâre most insulin sensitive) with raisins, dates and sweet things is terrible. The fast should be broken with lean protein and some good fats.
That's not fasting. That's 12 hours of not eating. You eat before the sun comes up and eat when the sun goes down. It has to be closer to 24 hours to be a fast. People gain weight on Ramadan supposed fasting.
@@AbhishekKumar7 , should you start a fast the same way you end it? With lean protein and healthy fats?
@@dukeblair7792 no, start a fast with high satiety foods (lots of fiber) so you stay satiated for a longer duration and your gut health improves.
@@AbhishekKumar7 , thanks...so lots of green leafy greens...got it.
I am a Christian and fasting plus praying and reading the Word , seeking God is very powerful to feel His presence and seeking His guidance.
Thank you very much for this and all the other videos.
Today I started the eighth month of my diet and 18-hour daily fasting and I have lost 67 pounds. I stopped using my wheelchair long ago and I feel that my life has begun again.
I still have to lose another 35 pounds and I will, but even then I want to always do an 18/6 hour fasting. Fasting is really the best gift we can offer to ourselves.
I'm on keto diet and i feel better. Stronger than ever before.
This video talks about exactly the things I had some questions on. Thank you so much!
Over the last 6-7 months Iâve lost 30kg+, lowered my blood pressure 10 points, and dropped my HbA1c below 5 by being on a low carb diet with 20:4 intermittent fasting, and walking 10km daily. Your other videos have helped a lot - for example knowing to keep below 120bpm while walking for fat loss, or knowing that for practical purposes, coffee with a little cream while fasting doesnât significantly disrupt the fast.
Your content in this video is a bit technical but I think to be really in control of our diets, people need to know this so they can make informed decisions about what/when to eat and how to exercise. I am getting ready to move on from the weight-loss phase to maintenance, so the last few minutes of the video were exactly what I needed. I will follow your tips, and hopefully I wonât rebound. I really love your straight forward, logical explanations. I wish the content were also available in Japanese so I could share it with all my friends here.
I know the science around autophagy is still developing, but once I reach my weight loss goal, I think my focus with diet and fasting, in addition to weight maintenance, will switch to trying to reap the benefits of autophagy. I would love to see content about that. I suppose there is no easy way for people to confirm that they are in autophagy. I've done 48 hour fasts, but I haven't tried longer ones yet. It feels a bit intimidating, but I suppose to a lot of people who haven't done daily intermittent fasting, even 16:8 may seem intimidating.
From days 2-4 it gets easier because you don't feel hungry at all. However, after 72 hours you will probably need electrolytes.
Dr Sten, you certainly do explain these things better, more easily understandable and therefore more interestingly than anyone else. From Australia
THANK YOU, Dr. Sten, for putting this most concise, easy to understand, crucial information on body metabolism on CZcams!! Iâve been looking for this compact information for a long time!!
This is fundamental physiology and biochemistry from medical school, except that, no one has put in together like a painting, a movie, in a sequential manner, that makes it crystal clear the way you just did in your video!!
So very interesting! Thank you Dr. Ekberg! I noticed the longer I fast the more energy I seem to have, almost a bit hyper in fact. I also noticed increased mental focus and unlimited energy. These are 24-48 hour fasts.
This is simple to understand instead of watching multiple videos that may say the same thing. I highly value your opinion & knowledge!đđđ
This is by far the best video on what happens when you fast I seen. Thank you so much!
I look forward to listening to this man during my daily walks :) Always learn something new
Thank you! Watching this video, really inspires me to stick to my fasting. Those health benefits sound amazing.
Hi Doctor. I'm your new subscriber and I am so glad I found your CZcams channel. I always watch and listen to your videos and apply what I learned from you. I have lost weight now and will continue to fast to get my health back again. My husband and I agree with all your teachings. I shared your videos to my friends in the Philippines. People should listen to you! Thank you so much.
I just ended my 72 hour water fasting, I just tested my kenone level and it is at 6.3. You are one of my hero Doc! I am thinking of doing this every month, or maybe every other month.
Thanks Dr. Ekberg! Love you videos and I learned a lot from this one! Have a tip for other IFers. I do OMAD (dinner) every day, but once a month I like to have breakfast. Sunday breakfast is a family tradition. I eat Friday dinner, and fast until Sunday morning. Have breakfast. Then fast until Monday dinner. So that's back to back ~36 hour fasts. And I'll all set for normal OMAD dinner on Tuesday.
Yay! Always looking forward to your videos! Thank you for all you do Dr. Ekberg! I've learned a lot and am seeing results đ.
Thank you Denise A. First!!!
@@drekberg Wooooh! đ„ł Guess being on the other side of the world has its advantages sometimes, lol.
Hello Dr.Sten, I need to thank you for an amazing channel you have!! I spent like 40hs on your channel last month. Videos are special, smart, educated, they have a logic- make sense to me, and on top of that they free! You are an amazing presenter, educator, finally I deeply understand how my body works!! I tried during last years many diets, (vegan, vegetarian, 10 small meal per day etc..) but finally I understand how the body really works and what is best for me! I am on KETO/low carb for a month now (it was hard from the start) and I have best result ever! Feel like a young bull again! hehe :) my body feels like a new, my problems with slow regeneration disappeared, my sleep improve astronomically, I have from the morning strong energy, I had a problem wake up @9/10 every day but for last 2 weeks I wake up @ 6-7 full of energy, whole day stable strong energy ! its just unbelievable how simple it is when you know what to do!! !Fat,protein, no carb no sugar - these 2 killing me / slow me down during the years. As I love to consume many fruits, 2l of juice every day, lot of pasta and rise, cookies, ect...
I have lost 7kg per last month just a side effect(174cm/68kg now), I can again train for full-throttle - playing tennis since 5y. Now I can without problem have a workout at the morning, do some running during lunch break, and still do without problem 2hs afternoon tennis training and 30mins of Yoga before sleep time. Also my concentration, focus improve a lot, same with the stamina - like +500% mindblowing!!
Thank you one more time for all yours videos, sharing the knowledge with us!

Thank you Libor Bena. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. Keep learning for life đ
Hi there Libor. And I'll copy this to Sten's General presentation above.
Question to you, as with all obese people, How did you let the obesity grow? Despite all of our life's problems thrown at us, why was your weakest link, like millions of people, to allow your body to become insulin resistant? Why don't people wake up the next day or in a weeks time and shriek back from the mirror, or those clothes that don't fit anymore getting too tight and not go into a panic attack!!. I've never confronted a person with that question as it would be unpredictable their reactions.
I've personally stayed the same weight all my life, yet I'm learning all the time about:-1. My own body and 2. Absorbing important healthy eating and lifestyle facts from people like Sten.
Sten doesn't really go into the divine subject of "listening to your body - how it reacts to the bad and good things you do and wat" I mean just only listening to it. Your body is it's own pharmacy too. Yeh I know that's another big subject if discussed openly. Thanks for reading my ideas...G
After having watched hundreds of these and reversing diabetes and regaining my health, I gotta say this is the best one yet, simple to understand, very well presenting the relevant information. I will definitely send link to people in need.
You are truly better than most MDs I have met in my entire life on how you explain these things. Thank you.

Thank you frink32. Awesome. Congratulations
Thank you so much for your very clear informative videos. During the last 3 -5 months I have introduced intermittent fasting into my life 16/8 ,
Plus walking 6-7 kms 4 times a week.
This has been an amazing change to how I feel!
I have so much energy, I have lost weight, I sleep better and feel fantastic! I am a 48 year old menopausal female...160cm tall... I have gone from 60 kilos to 55-56 kilos. I have introduced a few more carbs now a am very satisfied during my fasting periods. I actually have breakfast around 6am and lunch around 1-2pm then my fasting begins about 3pm till the next morning around 6-7am when I have breakfast. This is how I am now living my life and am getting so many health benefits.
Thank you so much for all your knowledge. â„ïž
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos and for the good work you are doing for us. Regarding health topics, your channel is my favorite.

Thank you for explaining, really appreciate it. I will try this . I have put on a lot of weight this year 2020 due to lockdown and overeating
You made me curious to make a fast of 2-3 days.
I am doing keto for 2 months now, I lost about 40 pounds already.
@Andras Libal please help me I want to do kito diet but I couldn't understand how can I make my diet plan
@@faizaqureshiqureshi3974 you count the total carbs and try to get it under 100g per day or 50g per day. Basically you eat a nice piece of meat and a large salad, some eggs, bacon, leafy greens, greens, things that have low carbs and low glycemic index. For example if you have to have carbs you try sweet potatoes or pumpkin in the beginning but you try to wean yourself off of them. The fat will keep you saturated and noz hungry. There are many recipes and plans just search for it for example even on this channel or at dietdoctor etc
@@andraslibal thank you so much God bless you what about keto flu should we take broth and which vitamins?
@@faizaqureshiqureshi3974 that helps sure but what really helps is if you get adapted again to burning fat you will no longer have severe keto flu. Intermittent fasting also helps. Just skip dinner a day or two the prolonged fast of the evening and night will get you closer to burning fat.
@@andraslibal God bless you thank you so much
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for these fasting videos. You have inspired me to start fasting.
Simply and beautifully explained. Now I understand why I was still going strong today despite not stopping to eat for 17 hours. ThanQ for this.

As always a brilliant explanation but made all the better and easier to understand by the aid of such brilliant graphics.

Thank you Vlastimil Hopjan. I appreciate the feedback. I was trying to keep it uncluttered, but I will keep your suggestion in mind.đ
Thank you so much for laying this out. My wife and I have gotten ourselves to one meal per day -- Day 14 -- but are not seeing much weight loss progress beyond the initial 10 lbs. I feel better, my joint pain is gone, I can bend down and tie my shoes and I feel generally well. My wife's blood sugar has -- she's diabetic -- consistently stayed 105 and below ... and usually is in the 60 to 70 range mid day -- she's thrilled and looks forward to a day when she's off Metformin and Glypizide. I think we're on the right track. I'll keep on for one more week and then try a 24 or 36 hour fast to see what happens. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Howz it going now?
Interesting. I've been doing 16/8 for a month, and plateaued out after 10lbs too. I seeing how a 19/5 goes.
Yep, many people who have insulin resistance need longer fasting periods to lose fat. Jason Fung and Megan Ramos talk about 3 36-42 hour fasts/week being the âgold standardâ for fat loss.
Excellent overview and advice as always. Thanks.
doc you got and held my attention long enough that i started OMAD and am feeling great again for the first time in years
Clear and brilliantly concise as usual. As a physician, I am constantly amazed at the ignorance of my colleagues with regard to this physiology! Have lost 70 lbs moving from 38% body fat to 24% and going lower. Once fat adapted, I lose 0.5lbs of fat a day. 7-10 day fasts a couple times a month are easy at this point. Thanks for all your videos and teachings! Life changing strategies for sure! Again brilliantly done!
Thank you David Heon. I really appreciate that. Especially coming from a fellow doctor.đ As you said the ignorance is amazing. We need a new tribe of good doctors like you in the medical field who can actually support people's health and not just treat symptoms. Congratulations on your outstanding results.
You're a Dr. and you can't spell lose? " I loose 0.5lbs of fat a day."

Fantastic video doc!
Awesome video from Dr. Ekberg as usual. I'm at the 46 hour mark of I don't know how long I will fast. Thanks a bunch, Doc!
Thanks so much, Dr, as always! May I suggest to cover in some other video how to start eating again after a long fasting period, say for instance, 4-5 days fasting. I did it once, many years ago, inspired by a book: 4 days without food, and then I had a "normal" - for me at that time (19 years old) breakfast, and I ate way too much. I was visiting my family in the south and they were like: boy, you have to eat. After that breakfast I spent like 2hours where I felt I was going to have a heart attack. Of course, now I look back and it is clear to me that that wasn't the best way to break the fast... I wonder if some people may make the same mistake I did. Thanks, again, Dr.
Thank you

Thank you Dr. Sten for your amazing videos! Very nice explanation as always. Can you please make a video on fasting/omad during pregnancy? Would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks again, I am constantly learning something from you!
Thank you Kalpana Arivazhagan. I'll look into that.
I have followed your recommendations and your breadown of how the body looks for sources of energy for the past 2 months and I've lost nearly 10 kgs. I wasn't fat to begin with (82kgs) and I'm now 72.5 kgs. So thank you for being the best doctor I've seen anywhere.
I do have a question too: despite my losing a lot of weight, i still have a small belly that has only reduced a little, and i've lost weight elsewhere mostly I suppose. What would you say is the reason for this? Is a problem with my metabolism?
I love watching yr informative videos. I've been on intermittent fasting and lost almost 1.5 stones! From 9 stones to nearly 7.5 Very tempted to do a 24 hr fast since seeing all the benefits. Thanks doc.
Really love this dr. Ekberg.. now i understand what i'm doing wrong, trying to be healthyđ ..
More power toYou. Thanks much for your teachingsâ€ïž
I eat only when i am hungry . I dont like concept of breakfast, lunch and dinner
Thank you Bobby Saha. Great way to do it.
Me too!
Have to be careful with that comment as a lot of people aren't fat adapted so they would then eat very regularly
@@jay6817 That's so true. People that eat mostly carbs are always hungry.
That is a very intelligent and wise approach. Congrats!!!
Thank you Doc for having time doing a research for us. It makes our life healthy and easy. All of your videos are worth watching.
Thank you Rafael Abainza. I appreciate your feedback
Great stuff Dr Sten....
Great video Sten!
Thanks for great information. God blessed.
You are welcome balasandar kalieannan.
Great explanation. A key for the colours on the graph at the beginning would have helped clarify the stages of fasting metabolism.
Great suggestion!
Don't pick holes just shut up and watch.
This is great info. I just came off of a 3 day, roughly 80 hour fast and ate yesterday. Today I am fasting again and I'm going for a full 5 day fast, possibly 7 days.
thank you so much Dr. Ekberg!
Thank you for the knowledge you give. You make so much sense, my Biochemistry background agrees with your teaching.
Fascinating
Thank you so much Dr Ekberg for this careful and helpful explanation! I have been strictly following your keto and IF 18/6 (incl two OMADs) video guidance for 4 weeks, to improve my health generally and specifically to reduce inflammation in joints and improve my lagging brain function, and hoping to also lose weight (am slightly obese)--so I'm keen to get onto these longer fasts. However, this week I notice a return of hunger pangs and cravings, after having thought I'd left them behind! so I'm suspecting I am not really fat adapted yet. Would you recommend waiting a few more weeks before trying these longer fasts, until the signs are more clear that I am truly fat adapted? Many thanks if you can offer a suggestion! All the best, Lori
Am doing intermittent fasting and is working for me pls. Now I can wear my old clothes that I stopped wearing because of my weight
Thank you Drđ
This was EXCELLENT, thank you đ
Dr.There are no words to describe how what this man teaches in his videos changed my life. I've been watching his videos and practicing fasting for more than a year now and I completely changed my metabolism and brain capacity. Some times I feel I've lived wrong my entire life. Thank you, god bless your soul.
WOW! Such a great input. Goin to try intermittent fasting tommorow, first attempt. Hope I can do it also. đ„°
How was your first day?
Great sir. This video cleared all my doubts regarding fasting. Thank you.
Great video. I've only recently discovered your channel and quickly subscribed. I will be sharing your videos with family and friends. Never change your style. It works
Thank you Ted Kotas. My "brand" is to give people context rather than a list to memorize. I plan to always keep it that way.đ
Thanks Dr. Sten Ekberg for the great videos. Could you do one on breaking a fast. OMAD up to 5 days can be tricky for some people to break a fast. I remember when I first started, I would eat a ton of vegetables...raw salads and gave myself sibo for over a month..it was awful. Your gut does become so sensitive since you lose the mucus lining when you give it a rest. I always would get diarrhea at end of fast...what worked for me is having a liquid meal 5 hours before I broke my fast. Bone broth soothes the gut and that has really worked for me! Since dairy, nuts, raw vegetable are all to much when breaking a fat, I also may have a bit of coconut yogurt (non dairy yogurt) make it into a smoothie with collagen powder and protein powder. I also may have a few sips of ginger juice mixed with electrolytes or kombucha to prep the gut. Then, when I get to my non-liquid 2ncd meal, I have scallops or salmon with some cooked vegetables...something light and lean at first. I have also extended a fast by just have bone broth and fat for a full day and that also helps. I know everyone is different but I would love to hear your process of breaking a fast.
Thereâs so many videos on how to break a fast,and that it is almost as important as the fast itself-the best is not to do it with carbs,and to take time with food-you cannot really go bavk to eating normal meals after a week of not eating. I personally like bone broth and sauerkraut just tuny amounts of food slowly chewing and eating and slowly adding food-like kefir and anything that has live bacteria. My main meal was avocado mashed with scrambled egg on coconut oil. Thank god I didnât have any issues,I was fasting for 8 days. Took another 3 to get back to regular(ish) meals
I am currently undergoing chemo. So, I do 20/4 fasting. Once a week I will do 40 to 48 hour fasting. Have lost 11kg since 3rd week of May. Fast longest was 66 hours but it was tough. Will try again one of these days.
Thanks Dr Sten for your advise.
Did it help with your chemo at all?
@@AbhishekKumar7 I had minimal side effects to begin with. I was putting on weight though which led me to fasting. Have completed chemo but remain a fan of IF ;-)
You fast 66 hrs while on treatment?
@@Dwatts24111 unfortunately not on treatment day...
@@MsKamalaD so you fasted a couple days before treatment day and ate on the day of treatment?
Your really the most intelligent and helping individual I've seen hats off to you for being a great person I pray you live past 100 years
Hi Dr. Eckberg- I was wondering if you do a video on the difference between a vegan diet and low carb/Keto diet. Your videos are so informative, keep doing what your doing!! Thank you đ
I didn't eat for 30 days, after about 10 days I slept better, had WAY more energy I wasn't doing much physical activity prior to the fast. After the 10 days I actually felt motivated to do physical activity. I stopped because the craving for salt was bad (I was eating salt near the end as that's what I craved) It was amazing, I've tried it a few times since but make it to about 4-5 days and snap out of it. If you can make it past 5 days you won't be hungry at all.
At 11 days into a water fast I had to stop because I didnât feel wellâŠhard to explainđ€
I'm on my 34th day of intermittent fasting and I really feel great! Lost 4 kilos and really feel light and energetic!
Only 4 kg lost??
Only? I lost 4kg on my 3rd days of fasting
Brilliant, love it, this content is incredible.
Thank you for everything you do. I'm 41 old suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for 16 years now. recently I'd been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis đ . will Intermittent fasting help in my situation? I already fast 20:4 and losing weight but my breath don't improve. any advice will be appreciated.
Though I can easily do OMAD and 48 hour fasts I benefit from re-watching videos like this to get Dr Ekberg's take on what happens to us over time. Gives me resolve for when I waiver in that first day. đ Thank you!
Thank you @revview5594 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.đ
New subscriber here in the Philippines, you enlighten me about IF. Thank you so much dr. Ekberg.
Doc, I am spreading the word of your easy videos.
I have been doing omad & 16 &8 fasting. I am 9 hours away from completing my first 72 hour fast. Iâm so proud Iâm doing it. Starting weight 10th January 103:3 kg to now 94:4 so happy. My wife does 16 & 8 fast same results in weight lost she is losing also. 20 kg is my target.
Thank you
Been doing intermittent fasting (18-30 hours) for about a year. Just finished my first long fast..98 hours. This was with bulletproof coffee twice a day.
Will try again soon, but water only, and maybe 2 or 3 days fasting a week. Really want to maximise autophagy. Good luck everyone đđđđŒđđŸ
Me too I want to maximize,,
Bulletproof coffee will still break a fast (The oil will give you ketones though). You need to go off it for full benefits. Plain black coffee is ok.
@@AbhishekKumar7 Don't push it mate haha
At this rate we won't need food at all.
Keep it simple and do-able for people to be able to comply.
You tell people they must not eat for 48-96 hours?
Dude, NO WAY the average pumpkin will go for that.
I have been trying VERY slowly to bring a couple of my "bigger" friends to Keto.
Letting them watch videos on CZcams etc.......the moment I mention "fasting" they collapse in a heap.
Guess they will get there sometime.
