What are your thoughts on fasting for women vs men? Does the woman's 28-ish day hormonal cycle vs the man's 24 hour hormonal cycle make fasting for extended periods unwise for women?

Hey Buddy👋 Can we do Meetup in this Summer time❓Either online or in person. No gay or whatsoever Nic but I feel like I know you🤔 Not to mention that we both have GERMANic Roots💯

2:45 I think you ment extremely insulin sensitive after a long fast.

i wish you godspeed on your journey stranger and salute you o7.

Can you please tell me if you needed to take any suppliments as far as potasium, magnisium, salt etc? Or did you just straight water fast? Thanks!

@@mrmichael20 pure water is the worst thing you can do. Salts(electrolytes) is the only thing your body doesn’t hold.

@@alanbarradas9801 doesn't hold, meaning?

On my third day also and doing it all for the same reasons!

What happened? Did u both do it

You wrote that 12 days ago. How is it going?

I am on 5th day of my 7 day water fasting

@@timothygibney159 fell off the wagon. going into the 6th day, acid reflux was so bad for me i had to eat something to get it to stop. going to start up again soon. if you're doing it, keep going.

Glad to hear it, Dante.

How's it going?

If you failed, start again and post here

how did it go?

Did you manage to do it?

Have you done a 3 day before?

My pleasure!

Did you work out?

Would you go to work or stayed home during a fast

@@AlonSOAMAZING no exercise, if you plan for extended water-only fast

@@ouahidbenghanem7092 so stay at home uh I shouldn’t try this and go to work

What were your results?

Hey can I ask how your going with the loose skin, or hopefully lack there of?

@@georgiamackinlay5706 Surpricing little loose skin. Most impresive is how ive lost a quite a bit of weight on my legs & arms but no loose skin there. The stomach/belt area is of cause the area where ive lost the most weight & i had a really extended belly back then & that is the area i feared would have the most flappy skin, but surpricingly its just as if the stomach has shrunken in size but also gotten a lot less solid. The stocmach is still somewhat extended & a bit wobbly infact but still "solid" enough to not be loose & or hanging. Ive heard someone say that the skin manages to keep up because of switching back & forth between fasting (where bad cells are broken down) & eating (new health cells created instread). a nurse did mention skin reduction surgery all the way back 2 years ago when i had just barely started this diet but right now i certainly dont even consider that an option. Im also still continueing the diet & hoping to loose at least another10-15 kgs so ill give it some time to see if the stomach area should tighten even more.

@@cholohd32 thank you for replying. What an awesome job you've done. Glad the skin has snapped back, that's my biggest worry and I've seen a few people say the fasting helps but they've lost smaller amounts of weight

Agree. Just noticed he exercised vigorously. I'm 53 and I enjoy running however it's not such a good exercise when you're middle age. Your knees and joints are vulnerable to the heavy contact they making on the hard road. Running on sand is a better option but not everyone is near a beach. I'm getting close to my preferred weight of 70 kg. 74 kg now. My method water fasting (2 or 3 days occasionally), intermittent fasting, OMAD. Low carb and high fat. I don't think I would have achieved what I have with calorie counting.

I've been working on my cliffhangers... :) That's really kind of you, Kelly - thank you!

@@Physionic indeed. Ha Question for ya whenever you have time - Former Olympic sprinter . Then I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue, Hashimoto/ hypothyroidism blah blah - I like cake, what’s new. However I’m a trainer and still workout with my groups several hours a day because it’s fun and my job is to keep the police In shape. So, my question in this left handed ADHD comment is: When I fast for several days - if I don’t workout I lose zero weight, if I do workout while fasting it’s 1-3 pounds a day. Why is it with zero calories coming in and no movement- nothing budges. Am I just a freak, an anomaly, a broken soul, the Irish American white girl genes?? What say you!!?? Rant over And scene

At what day did u have the biggest benefits that u felt? I am at day 8

How did you break your fast?

You were probably eating whatever you want? Lots of carbs and good food? That’s not bad 10 pounds of regain. It’s probably all glycogen stores. I’m on day 16 of a water fast. I’ve slimmed down ALOT people have told me. I haven’t weighed myself. I don’t want to get hung up on weight. But I can just tell by how my clothes fit me and by what people tell me that I’m doing well and making progress. When I start refeeding, I’m going to stay on KETO and maybe relax every once in a while. Otherwise, I can gain all my weight right back. I hope you keep healthy. Good job!

Did you have to clean your bowels? I've read in some places that you need to do this for prolonged fasting.

@@lucasmoreira3977 on day 4th and 5th, I generally have to go to bathroom(1-3 times) and mostly fluids come out(bile juice probably)

When did you wait to introduce meat back into your diet?

Couple little trees 😅

But how often you do the 36-hour fast?

Indeed - thanks, Katia!

That's wonderful news, Health - congratulations!!! I can imagine you're over the moon - I'm really happy for you, too. :)

You're going to fast or water fast for 160 days? Is that medically possible without severely depleting necessary vitamins, and minerals, that your body needs just to keep the lights on so to speak? How's it going? You're 90 days in theoretically, 3 months since the comment.

sorry update made it 60days and yes it was no food a 12oz can of pepsi and waater lost 50 pounds and wont being doing or trying again it was easier when i was 20 now im just gonna try to keep eating better and tryin to get soda out of my life @@katherinelangford981

Did you do it?

@@tryderrick im on day 6, still going strong. First 3 days were rough, now feeling great and down 15 pound

@@cameronnicholson1980did you make it to your goal and how did you find it? Currently on Day 2 of a 18 day fast.

@@OffSonic47 just sen this I ended up doing 21 days, lost about 24 pound and felt like a different person. Coming back to food was probably the hardest part.

@@cameronnicholson1980did you gain it back?

What's that?

@@Hassan56508 over eating maybe?

@@dr.candido4441 starting to overeat or push over your calorie count

​@@Hassan56508 that's a serious condition that can lead to death if you overeat after a long period of starvation, that's why in the series band of brothers you see a scene of a doctor screaming to the soldiers not to feed the jews they freed from the concentration camps, that happened in real life, because food needs to be reintroduced slowly, one of the things to mitigate that is consuming electrolytes and minerals during the fast, specially sodium and potassium, since they help to regulate the flow of liquids in the body, it's theorized that the introduction of potassium after a long period without it it's one of the main reasons for refeeding syndrome, but not confirmed, anyways the best way to avoid that is reintroducing food very very slowly, for each week of fast at least a day of no solid food, or heavy intake of calories, bone broth is one of the foods that can be used, but some fruit depending on the duration of the fast is ok, some people choose other foods, plenty of literature for how reintroduce food after starvation can be found on scientific papers about the subject, youtube has doctors that will talk about that too, but be careful and read a bit, don't trust a single source, go for as many as possible and try to avoid people that pretend that there are no drawbacks to fasting, even if there are benefits.

@@Hassan56508 Refeeding syndrome is a potentially lethal imbalance of phosphorus and electrolytes caused by a sudden change in hormone levels caused by eating a large meal after fasting/starving for long periods of time. It is easily avoided by eating small portions after a prolonged fast.

Did you walk or work out during your fast

@@ritamueti3217 sometimes depends on how you feel tbh.

When you did what kind of work outs did you do?

@@ritamueti3217 cardio and weight lifting. Listen to your body if you don't feel like it don't push yourself

How did you go about refeeding?

Thank you!

Remember to control for water weight. It’s highly unlikely you put on 5kg of fat in just a few days.

Did you finish it and how much do u loose?

Hi, I'm also on day 7 and it's 6:03pm..just wondering ,how long did you go, how did you break your fast and how much did you lose? I was originally thinking of doing 40 days but now thinking of doing 50 maybe more, I started at 195lbs and i'm 5'0" and now 184, my goal weight is 125-130lbs.. I think the 2nd day was the hardest for me had strong cravings and thoughts of eating and thinking I should eat and just start over the next day, but I pushed through it and here I am, the longest water fast I've done was 5 and a half days.. also this time I'm drinking water with lime, sometimes I add chlorophyll, and add 1 teaspoon - 1 tablespoon of sea moss gel once a day to a glass for added nutrients and benefits and hopefully reduce loose skin greatly as i have had 4 c sections and also hopefully to get rid of scar tissue and heal my uterus... 😄😊

Just make sure you break your fast either healthy choices and your be fine.

Are you supplementing with electrolytes?

During the duration of an extended fast, not over-all. Post fast, insulin resistance decreases significantly. Especially with repeated intermittent fasting, not snacking constantly, and not eating after dark.

It’s best to take a one a day vitamin

electrolytes!! it'll make it much safer and easier

In the comments section of his website Dr Tillis Barker says that for extended water fast to not take electrolytes because it will lessen the speed of your healing. He said your electrolytes should be fine for about 21 days and says the symptoms of detox healing or sometimes the same as low electrolytes. He cautions that doing an extended water fast is different than a short one.

I’d love to see the scientific literature for this. Lol

Age would matter also..he don't look more than 30.

A quick question, does this extreme water fast reduce belly fat. I am ectomorph. I have huge belly.

Absolutely but no so much as energy but more so broken down and recycled for repair.

Rest is just as important as exercise. Don't exhaust yourself.

Exercise won't help you lose weight until you calorie deficit. It will tone you under the fat so when you lose weight, your body tightens quicker and looks good but it won't help you lose weight. I had to learn that the hard way. Caloric deficit is where it's at. They always says weight loss starts and ends in the kitchen

This is very confusing to me as well. Did he misspeak? My understanding is that the body becomes more sensitive to insulin.

Water is great But the ave person don’t need 5L

He talked about watching the KZfaq channel- a healthy alternative. Majorly about water fasting. Lots of great testimonials on prolonged water fasting.

you calculate at a half pound of weight loss per day.

U actually don't, at some day it just stops

Wait until the next video - there's some nuance to that answer. :)

Well, in science, n=1 is not something you can base a reliable decision on, but look at the big picture. Food wasn't always as plentiful and accessible as it is now; our own anatomy and how it operates, reacts, and acts is evidence of food being scarce. An ability to store fat, an ability to use two types of energy, etc, etc - are all prime examples, at least for me, that fasting/ going x amount of days without food was the norm. I’d question three+ meals a day before questioning going several days without eating with regards as to what is safe. I hope that one day, a large controlled study can be done on fasting, with n being as high as possible.

@@Physionic Dude I seriously need to know

@@Physionic Bruh he askin u a real srx question and u tellin him to wait for a video ? yall youtubers slow ash fr

What protocol are you using?

What does refeeding syndrome do?

No videos on Delauer, but you can expect them soon, Jacob. I've heard of the Snake Diet, but I don't know much about it.

@@Physionic for the morbidly obese, he likes doing back to back 72hr fasts. 3days fasted, 1 huge keto meal, repeat. Hence why he calls it a "snake diet". When closer to target, 2days to 1meal, then 1day to 1meal, then OMAD. like I said, he's nuts and pretty raw. But, he's getting good results. He has varying approach for different body fat percentage. If you're just finishing, like an athlete doing a cut, you start at 1 to 1. If you're 30% or above "a fat lazy pig" 3 to 1 with the walking it down. He basically learned by research and experimenting on himself. The nasty drill instructor bit is just his gimmick.
