When i was in college i fasted a lot, the biggest benefit i noticed was a 22% increase in ability to pay tuition

I reverse fast. I eat for 22 hours and fast for 2. Other than the debilitating weight gain, I feel fantastic.

Wow. I've been eating one meal a day all my life, practically. I never called it fasting. My mother called it "dangerous". I'm 68 now and have zero health problems and still have tons of energy.

I eat once a day. I don’t feel hunger during the day. No one around me understands it. Everyone hassles me about it. I totally understand this guy. The spike mid day nap from lunch, is exactly about the insulin spike.

" If our ancestors couldnt function when they were hungry, we wouldnt be here." That statement says it all.

I haven't eaten in 2,004 years and I am feeling great.

Totally believe in this. I've never eaten three meals per day as an adult. Always felt it's a social construct based on marketing. So much of our eating habits are programmed.

I have practiced OMAD for several years, fasting 23 hours a day & have never felt better. The benefits for me have been incredible & I can’t imagine ever not incorporating fasting into my life.

“What do you doctor in?” “Uuuhhhh that’s a good question”

I went on a fasting diet for a year and I lost 85 pounds. I was 305 pounds and now I’m at 220

I love how he says "When I'm feeding...." Like he's a vampire. LOL

I went about 6 months with intermittent fasting with walking for about 1.5 hours a day (to and back from college) and had lost about 22kilos. Totally shocked when I weighed myself I had no idea what I did to lose this weight. All I did was: -Cut out junk food (the unnecessary sugars) -Walk every day -16hrs intermittent fasting (skip breakfast) It works. Seriously. Control your hormones and you will go places you've never been.

When I'm feeding during my feeding window I have been known to bite family members that get too close.

The thing I've realized since drastically reducing my carb intake is that my body adjusted, and now when I eat a lot of carbs I feel much hungrier the next day. Sticking to veggies, a bit of fruit and mostly good proteins and fats has pretty much changed my life. Started out at 246 and been 170-174 for the past year now.

16 hour fast is honestly fantastic . I always felt uncomfortable and had stomachs pains waiting 3 meals a day ( same calorie intake ) . Now I just feel like me all the time .

'If you have a trainer that's telling you to eat bread, get a new fuckin trainer' *Greg Doucette leaves the room

“When I’m feeding...”. That sounds so analytical and cold, somehow.

I fast all the time because I'm broke 🙈🙈🙈😂😂😂😂

Fasting + low carb + light exercise at 47 took me from 290 lbs (6ft 5in) to 262 in 2 months. I am 47 but felt 67 as I felt pain in most of my joints. My back would be stiff and painful after a 20 min car ride. My foot had a pain when I walked that would never get better......TODAY ALL GONE! I'm eating one low to no carb meal a day until I reach my goal of 225 lbs. Fasting has for me been the miracle everyone wished existed. I'm feeling great now. I can't wait to reach my target weight I have not seen sense high school. I plan to do 18-6eating window eating two low carb meals a day once my goal is reached.

I am on day 5 of 7 of a water fast to lose weight. My biggest take away so far is knowing that moving forward.. i don't have to eat all the time. Hunger is only temporary. It goes away muchhhh faster than you'd think. At least for me. Everyone maybe different. I also feel like I have more energy and I feel this is the most focused I've been in years.

After going up and down in weight for over eight years, I started doing a 16/8 fast and finally lost 40 pounds in seven months.

It blows my mind that people make fasting 16 hours sound even remotely difficult. You could literally just eat between 10 am and 6 pm and make it work. That's an early snack/late breakfast, lunch, snack again, and then dinner at 6. How is that hard?

Ok…so I have hashimotos and I spend a good deal of time on you tube trying to find solutions. I ran across prolonged fasting and thought “well, it’s free and worth a shot!”. I fasted on water for 3 days. Here’s what happened: I wasn’t hungry at all after about 6:00 PM on day 1. So the hunger goes away. Day 2 my brain fog completely went away and I felt like a freaking genius. I actually looked for opportunities to talk to people because I’ve felt brain dead for so long. Day 3 I noticed the weight loss and an energy boost. I almost kept going, I felt so great. So now I fast 2 days a week just to maintain that energy level and combat the severe brain fog. It’s worth a shot, folks. I think what we’re eating is messing us up.

I love rewatching all these Joe Rogan interviews with different doctors when I need encouragement or to get back on track with my IF.

“I hate being tethered to eat.” I never thought of it that way. I’m untethering myself. Great podcast! Thanks 🙏

I fast 23 hours a day. Benefits that ive noticed: more energy, weight loss (really just due to caloric restriction) and my skin complexion has improved greatly

So happy KZfaq algo brought This video back to me... I just like to express my sincere gratitude to Joe Rogan n Doctor Peter Attia... It was this video that basically change my life because it open my eyes about intermittent fasting.. All my life i have struggle with weight especially maintaining my weight.. and since in my junior high scool (now 41) i have also have stomach ulcers n fatty liver issue.. When started Intermittent fasting 3 years ago i only noticed after more than a year i never had any case of stomach ulcer anymore.. and upto this 3rd year i remember only 2 incidents that i have some minor stomach ulcer.. And within this 3 years i have lost 18kg (39lbs) n maintain it..

I do 16 hour intermittent fasting and my biggest benefit is that I have no diarrhea or stomach upset. It is really good. Earlier, I used to have diarrhea or stomach upset 3/4 times a year.

Words cannot explain how thankful I am to you, Joe for bringing these great people's vast knowledge for us to benefit from. God bless you both !

I fast for 8 hours a day!! While I’m sleeping

I’ve just done a 3 day fast, due to depressive reasons. No joke, I’m not sure if it’s just because I’m still in it. But it feels life changing. This is how I was supposed to feel. The motivation and just energetic presence I feel I have is just naturally massive rn. I feel more social and I feel like exercise is natural. Winning.

I started at 347. Ive been fasting for minimum 16 hours for the past 2 and a half weeks. Usually only eat 1 meal a day or about 1800 calories. Ive lost 22lbs already and i feel better mentally and physically. The first 3 days were rough. Pounding headache and felt like i was starving. So glad i stuck with it and im gonna see where this will take me

He looks like Jordan Schlansky

Just completed a 48hr fast! Listened to my body and rocked with it. I’m Keto too. Love this guy...

I’m a recovering heroin addict I have 9 months clean Iv totally changed my life what I eat and I’m literally doing my first fast now just past 24 hours and will be going sleep wake up and break my fast thanks for the vidoes changing life’s

I’m on 23 hour fast too, or (OMAD). Once a week I’ll do a 48 . Lost 30lbs in a month . I work out a little too. The overall feeling I get is great . You’ll quit being hungry , had to work my way up to this - start small if you’re new 12,16 hr fasts . Once you get through the walls you’ll find a better & new you. Not being a big ball of stress will totally change your life , Joe is spot on .

I did a 11 day water fast at the beginning of this year and it was the best thing i could have ever done. No more acid reflux, stomach ache, way better sleep and etc. People keep telling me i was crazy but only if they knew

"The benefits are often overstated." 5 minutes later Joe is fully overstating the benefits.

I just started my 16 hours fast 5 days ago and have already lost 15 pounds. Mind is clear. Less fog. Energy rising and I feel the need to keep myself busy. I’m excited for the future. Making this my new lifestyle

3:46 my favorite part of fasting. I eat every 24-36 hours, working my way up to 48. I have insane energy.

What are you a doctor in? "Uhhhhhhhhhh"

Joe is so wise to say the foods you eat have a direct effect on your energy and mood and that can have a profound effect on how your personality is expressed.

I had a great great grand uncle that smoked and drank every day of his life. The one thing that interested me about that fact that he lived to 103 was that he only ate once a day. He's the only family member to have lived that long by about 10 years to anyone else.

Absolutely one of the most eye-opening, revelatory interviews (for 8 minutes) i have heard in a long time. Even Joe is not interrupting.

Been doing i.f for a year now. I'm 54 years old have a 32 inch waist and weigh the same as when I was in my early 20s. It works great

I did 24 hour fasts for about 3 months and dropped over 40 lbs in just one summer, I still fast to this day to maintain my weight but I often do 16 hour fasts to prevent getting underweight! Great video and top to beginner dieters!

I eat once a day for about 1 hour. Any eating through our the day, I'm sluggish and ready to sleep. @ 50, I don't gain weight, no matter what I eat and tons of energy. Also helps with my arthritis and tendonitis. Took me awhile to ignore my brain/hunger pains but so glad I did!

The last 1 minute and 4 seconds of this clip is so true and insightful. 💪🏼

I lost 12 kg since September 18 with intermittent fasting. Nothing worked for me and this just seems to suit my body. I also stopped doing cardio - I only do strength training and yoga. I know it doesn't work for everyone but it's suits me perfectly and combined with strength and flexibility, my body has changed completely.

Should be called: Tom Morello explains the benefits of fasting

This is great information. Thank you for the upload

I started at 202 and got down to 145. I'm currently at 153 and still doing OMAD 5 to 6 days a week. Do it. Let's live longer.

Safe to say he didn’t explain the benefits at all

He’s exactly right, diet is everything

I've been doing average 18 hour fasts consistently for over a decade. 36 years old, blood work excellent and in great shape. Read the warrior diet, that book got me hooked on the idea of how humans should live and eat. Hope the best for those who are learning about fasting.

Fasting helped me realize how much time I eat and how it make me feel like shut. Fasting in the beginning sucks but when you get over the hump its like having a clear mind clear gut

It's true, working out during the morning with an empty stomach is so beneficial in the long term.

I'm so thankful that Joe presented intermittent fasting to me through youtube... I can't follow a diet but intermittent fasting is challenging but its so simple... it helped me a lot.. iv never been obese but it helped burn of that last layer of fat (I'm around12-13% body fat)

I love that he calls it his “feeding window” lmao 😂

Fasting regularly and using a treadmill desk at a 10% incline for 4-6 hours a day with next to no processed sugar and its the best weight loss I've ever had

“If I get on the airplane and they’re serving dog shit I don’t have to eat” lol

“One day I was in ketosis for 3 years”

I did a 36 day water fast in 2021. My goal was to go for 40 days. I only quit, because I contracted Covid-19, and had the absolute worst nausea that I’ve ever had in my life. I sipped chicken bone broth, which, unfortunately broke my water fast. I did learn quite a bit though, even though I didn’t make it to 40 days, water fasting. My weight at the start was 286.8 pounds. 7 days later, I weighed myself, and the scale read, 264lbs, a total of 22.8lbs lost in a week! Probably 17-18lbs was water loss, then probably 4-5lbs fat, then the last tiny amount of weight, was muscle. I felt incredible! Also, I finally achieved the, “No more hunger zone”, as I put it. The only thing I’d do from time to time, was take a pinch of, “Real Salt”, for some salt and other essential trace minerals. I only had water, no coffee, tea, nothing else. I took blood readings, twice per day, morning and evening, for glucose and keytone levels. It was interesting, my blood glucose stayed between, 95 an 64 and after about the fifth day my blood keystones, by day 7 of my water fast, were 4.1! I was in serious fat burning mode! My keystones were always over 4 and one time went as high as, 6.9! My final weight-in on day 36: 237.4lbs. A total weight loss, of 49.4lbs, an average daily weight loss, of 1.37lbs per day. Had I not gotten stricken badly with Covid-19, I know I could have continued for 80 total days, with only water. If my weight loss average was consistent, in 80 days, I would have lost 109.6lbs and weighed my healthy weight, of 177.2lbs. Look up the KZfaqr: “Fasting Fat Man.” This guy will amaze you! Peace.

Joe, love the bit at the end of the "change"...it is miraculous

Fasting is an incredible healing tool.

Currently in the middle of a 24 hour fast [currently on hour 16] and needed a boost to get through it. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks for the upload!

I recently did a 3 day fast where I fasted until dinner time and I was surprised at how good I felt. The first day I could feel my body going through withdrawals and had a pretty bad headache but the next two days I felt amazing. It’s funny because my purpose of the fast wasn’t for anything weight loss or health related but more of a way to get close to God as I’m a born again Christian. However, I am considering adopting this into a way of my every day life as I really enjoyed the benefits of fasting.

I fast everyday, very similar to this guy. I lost 100lbs in 2 years, and feel amazing.

Just did a 42 hour fast and I feel amazing. Fairly new to it but I plan on doing it again in a few weeks. Just consumed water with sea salt and supplement magnesium and potassium helped with the lack of electrolytes and trace minerals.

I misread the title as " Doctor Explains Benefits of Fisting".

Love this. Thank u for the inspiration and advice. 👍🏻

Greg Doucetter should be a guest on your podcast.

I last until like 7pm and not on purpose, I’m just poor

Been doing intermittent fasting for over a year now and I'm in the best shape of my life! I started at 200 pounds, dropped to 145 at my lowest and now I'm 150 trying to get to 160! It feels amazing to be able to function 16 - 35 hours without food!

This clip has stayed with me for years. Everyone should hear this at least once.

Get Greg on your show! He is my Sensei

My brother fainted in the shower on his 5th day of fasting, he hit his head and was completely knocked out, his face covered the bathtub drain plug so it overfilled with water. Thankfully his girlfriend heard his body collapse in the bathtub, it took her a few terrifying minutes to unlock the door with a hanger. Paramedics came, he was rushed to the ER where he had 7 staples to close his head wound, huge concussion, his potassium levels were dangerously low, and when the doctor asked him when was his last meal my brother said 5 days prior. The next day the doctors signed an emergency certificate and transported him to get a mental health evaluation, there he had a huge argument about his rights and they forcefully made him take sedative drugs, he pushed a therapist and was tranquilized like an animal! He was confined for 2 months, forced fed, given hundreds of pills, and when he was finally released I asked him how he felt. He said he was Hangry. I would of taken him to McDonald's but I was broke since I was fired for getting arrested trying to break my brother out of the nut house, so my brother and I decided to rob the doctor that forced him into the crazy house. Big mistake. The doctor had a gun in his car. He shot me, my brother, and turned the gun on himself. Now the three of us are ghosts and we haunt the fitness department in Walmart while eating flaming hot cheetos, microwavable chicken nuggets, and gummy bears. My brother is now a fat ass ghost. His girlfriend is now a lesbian. My dog fasted to death since I died and nobody fed him. My dog is heaven with Tupac playing Zelda: Ocarina of Time til the end of time eating gummy bears.

Back in the 90's we called this the E-Plan diet. Spending Friday night till Sunday on ecstasy dancing at raves. Apart from the crushing mood swings during the week I've never looked so good...

This is profound, my experience in losing and maintaining weight aligns with his careful choice of words

Started fasting early this year. And my body has definitely changed. Recommended.

Finally, a doctor that doesn't believe in the 3 meals a day BS

The 16 hour fast is not as difficult as it sounds because you start after dinner and the fast includes sleeping

OMAD is where it's at man. OMAD + Keto and 3L of water has expedited my fat loss substantially. When people mention Breakfast Lunch Dinner and snacks it seems so alien. I was making the scale error at 430lb+ and am falling into the 230s now!

Good conversation. I remember being overweight from age 7 to 13. I fasted basically to lose the weight. Only ate 800 calories a day and noticed huge energy spikes, more power and became sharper like the doctor mentioned in this video. I was always better than others at sports or academics just because of how my engine ran. I believe fasting and eating one meal a day was big time for my success. Still to this day I fast normally at least 24 hours then eat and repeat.

I’ve been in Ketosis for a year. I eat once a day with a snack later in the day on occasion. I just fasted for 72 hours very easily. The third day I was in a wonderful mood. I highly recommend intermittent fasting.

I grew in a small village in Mexico; What Americans call "OMAD" and "Intermitent Fasting" people in my village just called it "eating"

So cutting refined carbs, drinking only water and eating healthy will cure my day time drowsiness?

I didn't know Tom morello was a doctor

Started doing a warrior fast becuase I found out ab intermittent fasting through this vid- seriously a game changer, it's easy as hell and you cut fat so fast it's unreal. Shits insane.

I’ve been intermittent fasting for 3 years and it does wonders mentally. Also physically.

Never heard a 40yo. man say, "I am feeding, my feeding window" etc.

I totally get the freedom from food that he is talking about. I'v been on Keto and fasting 16/8 for 7 monts now, and I don't feel the stress from having to eat at a certain time anymore. If I have to skip a meal and prolong my fast to a 20/4 I don't stress, I'm not even hungry.

The secret to longevity is to fast for 21 days every 3 months

I fast regularly. Every Monday 24-36 hrs and at the beginning of each month 72 hrs. People always give me a ton of crap. They think I’m crazy doing some kind of voodoo crap. Whoever I talk to about fasting is always very hostile towards this topic. They always say “oh that’s crazy, that’s impossible”. But, I’m the one getting back in shape, becoming more and more chiseled and healthy! Stay strong people!

I fast a lot for spiritual reasons. But I'll just add. When you do develop into a normal routine of fasting. It becomes easy to do. As in, you get hungry WAY less often because it seems that you have trained your body to be able to handle taking in food less regularly and so it is used to it. So when you do feel hungry the feeling is way more easy to manage and it isn't a major burden anymore. Just like everything, it takes training and practice. Over time it's really nice. Especially spiritually, its the perfect way to let your ego die, don't ask me why or how.. It just works.

Ramadan Mubarak to all my Muslim brothers and sisters.

This dude is fascinating to listen to. I learned so much from this podcast.

I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia was on a cocktail of medications every single day, I was sick from the meds and also drowsy from the strong meds, I started fasting just over a year ago now and now I am In remission I don’t have any medications now and I am can finally start living again! X

I fast everyday 18 hours to 20 and some times i don’t eat for two days my memory just amazing my problem solving skills having gone up so much it’s crazy
