Unfortunately I came down with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer acouple of years ago that has spread throughout my bones. Hormonecdeprevation therapy and radiation only hurt me so I refused continued treatments. I'm Canadian so the doctors now suggest suicide. F' that! I did a 21 day water fast in January and feel the best I've felt in two years. I'm following an intermittent fasting schedule and do a 4 day fast each month. I've beat their odds and I'm still alive!

Please keep in mind that fasting isn't just about weight loss. I did a 3-day fast that cleared up months of atopic dermatitis on my face. Nothing helped before that. I encourage you to try it, but keep it to yourself. Friends and family are skeptical, and worry needlessly.

Family members who love you are the biggest drawback when fasting. They will discourage you out of fear of you suffering

Been eating OMAD for two months now. Am in ketosis constantly. Only drink salted water during fasting. All my health problems have gone. No more pain. Dropped 18 kilos so far and had my first training session at the gym today. Feeling like a new man. I am 51. Oh yeh I also quit smokes and alcohol was a heavy user of both.

The fact that his first response was "we don't know" makes me think this guy is worth listening to, he shows some honesty.

Respect on the learned who say ‘I don’t know’

Best answer ever, "We dont know".

I do 16:8 IF for 3 years now and I not only lost 65 pounds, but it fixed ALL of my health problems (hypertension, cholesterol, etc). I also do strength training for 60-90 min 3x per week. At 53, I am now in the best overall health and fitness of my entire life. My next step is to extend my daily fast to 18 hours and eventually incorporate a 48-72 hour fast once per month, for additional longevity benefits. I wish I'd learned sooner that fasting really is the key.

Finished a 72 hour fast Wednesday. (Second one I’ve ever done). I always feel worse on the first day, which I think is more to do with cravings as opposed to actual hunger. Days 2 I woke up full of energy, went crazy clearing out the kitchen cupboards and went to bed that night with my body singing. Day 3 I was much more tired, and fantasising about my first meal later in the day, but it was manageable as I wasn’t having hunger pains. I didn’t weigh before or after, I did it purely to eradicate the inflammation issues that had cropped back up since the first fast at the beginning of 2019. It worked, as I knew it would. My glands went down, knee, ankle, lower back pain all gone. I had also been suffering with acne on my neck, which all disappeared.

I fast for 84 hours (3.5 days) once per month. The first day is easy, after that each day gets progressively less fun. Fasting and the CDED diet keeps my Crohn's in complete remission without any medicine. I've been doing it for over a year.

Love seeing these comments on peoples stories. I too have a very positive reaction to longer fasts. More energy, skin clears up, chronic inflammation goes away, etc.

I am 71 years old female. I just came off 91 hours fast today. This is my 6th Fast this year. Usually I break it off at 85 and 87 hours but this time I broke it off at 91 hours. My plans were to stop at 72 hours,. but since I were feeling good I did not want to stop. Fasting is my health benefit program. I did have problems with joint pains lower extremities 2 years ago. But not anymore since I been Fasting the last 2 years . I also uses it to lose wt, but I only lost 5-6 pounds this time . The last 2 days I had the same wt. So I decided to break the fast . I'm a carb sugar eater but my fast has been really helping me. Whenever I notice I have start eating that stuff heavy again I would jump on the Fast to reset. Thank Goodness for this Fasting Thing! PS the 2nd day i'm hungry a lot. I try to drink lots of water. I never experience the headaches, but I do be tired so I can rest. I only did H-salt once , it made me nauseous, I did gatoraide zero once, I didnt like the taste. So I just trys to get through it the best I can to get my benefits. Fasting is my Friend. lmbo

When you fast really keep it to yourself, because then people try shoving food down your throat coming up with myths about “you’re going to get sick” or “god made 3 meals you shouldn’t be ungrateful for having that privilege” blah blah blah.

I am 68, began 16/8 sprinkled with 20/4 and OMAD at age 62. Have completed 8 5-day fasts during the past 6 years. Many benefits perceived by doing this, including better overall health, weight loss and body transformation, I.e., prolonged fasting can lessen or even remove old fat in places ordinary diet and even exercise cannot reach. Rhonda has been an absolutely fantastic resource throughout my journey. One thing I think we need to consider when comparing mouse to human models is the much shorter lifespan of mice. I’m sure it’s not a simple straight line comparison but it’s vital to understand and I appreciate the questions Rhonda poses to Guido along this line.

I fasted 11 days. Best thing for body, soul and spirit ever!!!

I did IF 18/6 for three months & it healed the terrible psoriasis on my scalp in three months, amazing. I am now doing IF with Keto to get off BP meds & build muscle. I feel fantastic at age 65. I look 40, no face wrinkles or saggy arm or belly skin from weight loss. Thanks autophagy!

I have been fasting for 18 hrs daily and have my lunch after 12 noon and dinner before 6pm in the evening. I was able to achieve my ideal body weight by doing strength training once in three days. I feel very relaxed and healthy.

At 76 I wanted to lose the final 5 lbs. to reach my goal of 175 lbs. Nothing was working. I went on a keto regimen and now have stabilized my weight at 165! I am never hungry. Have an eating window daily of 6-8 hours and a 24 hour fast is no problem. I feel great, play pickleball 3-4 hours 5 days a week. The physical energy and mental acuity I am experiencing has caused me to get annoyed at my peers physical and mental slowness. I thank God and ask for His help dealing with this newfound personality defect.

i totally agree with the sentiment about if you are fasting to keep it from people close as they will pressure you to stop. i did a 21 day fast. im no one special, just an average guy. up to day 5 was hard but after that was super easy going. after i had loads of energy, my eyesight had improved. i had also successfully killed the carb crash rollercoaster of emotions that many get throughout the day. the world record for longest fast though is a scottish guy in the 1950s who fasted for 380+ days.

This lady is scary smart. I can attest though to fasting and autophagy. Years ago I suffered a severe wound on my forehead from falling off of a house. When everything was healed and I was well, I still had a growth of scar tissue or some hard fibrous material just above my right eye and just under the skin. It was larger than a dime but smaller than a nickel. It was there for about 5 years. Then I started fasting. usually intermittent 16/8.But a 48 hour fast once a week. My growth thing just simply wasted away. There is a tiny remnant left, that is about the size of a pinhead, that I expect to completely disappear as I began fasting again.

Done 3 day and 2 day. It gets easier. Key, stay busy. Hoping for internal benefits. My age 70.

at 43, i have been doing IF with my 5 hour eating window from 3pm to 8pm. outside of this im only drinking water with lemon, salt and ACV. so far my belly is flattening out slighty. about an hour after eating my last possible meal ill fall asleep no problem. ill wake up real early almost too early but with that im totally awake feeling. its totally worth the try if your tired of feeling and looking like crap as i was. plus its the cheapest diet on the planet (please dont fact check). Think about it, you really dont have to eat so much AND eat all the time. you save money, food tastes better, you start getting attention i think there is some truth the idea that IF makes you smarter (dont judge, this is such a rough draft). peace!

Started at age 60 fasting Mondays and Thursdays. Dry fast for 16 hours each. Had stents placed in my heart and was on a heavy medication. Given up all medicine and it's my tenth year without any problems. Moderate exercise and heart healthy diet is also part of my life.

Folks looking to fast for a prolonged duration (2+ days) for the 1st time, just know that the 1st 24 hours are the worst. You are fighting your body's subconscious habbit of stuffing ur mouth every chance it gets. You will not realise how STRONG that urge is until you experience it yourself. But keep drinking water. Water weighs ur stomach and temporarily releaves your urge to eat. You wont die, trust me, your body is just a spoilt lil' brat. Keep going past the 24hr mark, it gets easier from there. Next time would be easier bcz know you know you can do it. Might even encourage some to try a bit longer 36-48hr Only advice, have water ALWAYS around you. Start small. You got this.😊

I had fasted once straight for 14 days. One thing I have noticed is that after 3 days you don't feel the hunger pain.

Currently, I am on Day-One of a planned 5-day water fast. Will find out tomorrow if I am a rodent. If I don't update this comment in a couple of days, you would all know that I was indeed a rodent. 🐀 Back soon. 😛 Weight on Day 0: 78KGs. Day 1: Intense cravings between 22 and 24 hours after last meal. Managed to continue fast. Drank enough water to stay hydrated. Day 2: Woke up in cold sweat, feeling weak, felt ok after a few minutes of breathing exercises. Feeling energised later during the day. 👍😁 Day 3: Woke up full of energy, feeling great today with very little cravings for anything. Exercised as usual and still energetic throughout the day. 👍 Day 4: Very little hunger pangs. Light exercise. No fatigue. Feeling good. 💪One more day to go! Day 5: Had some trouble with acid reflux. Bit of searching on the net revealed that even if a person watches videos on food and eating, gastric juices are released in the stomach. So, while lying down, I experienced some unpleasant sensation with acidity. All good otherwise. Feeling great. 👍💪😁 Weight at finish of fast: 75Kgs.

I did a 5 day fast mimicking diet and on day 4 The eyesight was noticeably better! I was shocked!

I've been fasting for 200 years now. Starting to see the benefits.

High intensity Health did a video on how regular exercise helps you get into autophagy easier. When your sedentary and eat poorly your body is less efficent at switching into autophagy.

I've been doing intermittent fasting for at least six months(probably longer) where I typically don't eat for 16 hours or more (but not usually more than 20) and have noticed a lot of improvement with some of my issues. I don't know if 16 is the magic number but I will say fasting can help heal your body. The weird thing is longer dry fasting ( I did a few 1 and 2 days of it and 2 four days of it) didn't seem to do much for me. Everyone is different though and needs to experiment and find out what works best for them.For me, long termintermittent fasting has worked the best for me so far.

I think it depends on many things besides just the time in the fasting state. You have to take in to consideration lots of variables such as activity levels (exercise or stagnant), what was consumed prior to beginning the fast (carb heavy or not), environment itself (temperature in particular, causing more or less metabolism to cool or heat the body), stress (heavy stress vs relaxed state)... etc. With that being said, there will never be an exact answer that works for all, since no one can ever share the exact same circumstances. I personally feel that by 48 hours of a fast, my body has begun autophagy. How far along, I couldn’t say. But I also work out very hard, lots of cardio, hot saunas, cold showers, black coffee, and sometimes green tea while fasting, so I know I enter autophagy much quicker that way.

Yah I also did this fasting thing and it made me sleep better, i feel lighter, I move quicker than before I just do the 18:6 sometimes 20:4 fasting ratio, I feel hungry but the pains in my body gradually disappeares.

For those who only looking for weight loss, it's actually just an extra benefit! The real or main benefits are improvements in your overall body condition.

Thrilling revelation! Congrats,Rhonda!

I love this reaction vid, thank you! I watched this concert when it was released but i keep coming back to her performances especially this one. All these songs are just so special to her you could feel all the emotions in ber voice. Just WOW!

Started doing 24 hr fasts a few times/week.Did my first 48hr water fast 2 weeks ago.Will be attempting my first 72 hr water fast next week. 👍🇮🇪🇯🇴🇷🇺🇷🇺

Don't forget that fat loss is also a form of Autophagy...self eating so to speak. If you are overweight and losing weight from fasting...then some autophagy has a occurred. If no weight loss has occurred, then no autophagy has happened, but it has to done over at least a week period as weight can easily go up and down depending on water and food in the body.

You had me at we don't know.

Couple of months back i had started to cut carb to minimum + eliminate sugar on my diet, I initially doing 3 light meal a day and after 1 month 2 meal a day, i had also started to do exercise during that time while making sure my calorie intake is less than what i burn. I am now ready to do omad starting next week. My goal is to fast for at least 3 days once i got comfortable with omad. Btw i lose 12 kg since, and my back pain, knots and constant migraine 24/7 is now just memory, i had multiple doctors and medication for that. i also think i am sharper now specially during reasoning and my stress level had gone down significantly. People around me is seeing the effect but they dont believe me when i say that all they need to do is just not eat at all. 😅 but some of them are now cutting carb a bit, while some are joining me during exercise, Well i am.happy with my accomplishments so far and determined to reach my goal to fast for days soon!

I'm doing 4:20, eating within 4 hours window n fasting for 20 hours ...I've noticed over the last week some small changes already happening...I've been losing a pound of weight every two days and my skin full of blemishes is clearing up, my big toe nails were starting to raise out of shape and they have gone back to a healthy normal...I can't wait to see how much difference it starts to make to my Fibromyalgia and Arthritis symptoms 🤗

He was very honest about not knowing the minimum about of time for autophagy to begin. But fasting has great benefits with or without autophagy.

I've been doing 20/4 intermediate fasting since September 2022. Couple times was 24 hour fasting, like OMAD, now at the end of March 2023, went from 89kg 109cm weist to 69kg 81cm weist. It could be better, but I have some loose skin at lower abdominal part. But I've notised some improvment in last 7-10 days. If not loose skin, I could say, that I'm completely happy with the result, but even now I'm preetty much got what I wanted. Would try 2 day fasting in some time this spring.

I fast for 21 hrs daily with a eating window of 3 hours and usually between the hours of around 9pm - 12am. Not sure if that’s a good thing, but it seems to help maintain longer deeper sleeps! Maybe I’m a rodent! 😂 The only thing I consume during the fasting window is Lemon Water and Plant Based Teas, some carrot juice.. And.. During the 3 hours refeeding window, I consume Coconut Water, 3 Exotic Fruits, Nuts and Oily Fish, Prebiotic Fermented Foods such as Kimchi, Sauerkraut and Organic Biotic Yoghurt and occasionally a little Rice or Potatoes! Prolonged fasting I’ve achieved 3 days easily and have done it a few times now, however I am now looking to extend from 3 to 5 days in a row soon! This has been my way of life for a while now, and really changed my life forever, by reducing inflammation, weight loss from 75kg to 60kg and my vascularity returned which I hadn’t seen in ages!

I eat breakfast at 1 pm I eat dinner before 6pm I fast 19hrs a day

According to Yoshinori Ohsumi (the 2016 Nobel Prize) it’s 24 hour fast triggers autophagy

I've experimented with various 'rhythms' of calorie intake over the last few years, also thinking about the type of food I'm taking, also keeping in mind simply ways of getting used to the process (I hit on the idea of using nuts for high calories to get used to small meals, for instance) and it's ended up with me being on OMAD pretty much all the time for about 4 years, a period of one meal every 2 days, gradually getting used to fasting and going from just a couple of days a few times, then 3, then up to 4 or 5 a few times, then 6 a couple of times, then 10 twice, 11 once, then 14 twice, with a month or two at least between each. The key seemed to be getting used to it psychologically, also understanding it (knowing I was feeding myself all the same; also being very aware that getting into the full autophagy and fat burning would be set back to zero if I consumed any food), making sure I was getting the necessary electrolytes for cell function, i.e. sodium, magnesium and potassium, consuming it all the time with water, and just leading normal days that take my mind off of food, that I enjoy, but relaxing. I did it in the summer mainly, and also during holidays, and also while living alone, so that made it much easier. The worst thing is temptation. It's amazing how easy it can get when your body adjusts to it, but the psychological aspect is a big one. I actually would walk past the grocery store nearby all the time and not feel tempted to go in, and even went around the supermarket buying cleaning stuff, but also checking out what best to buy later to finish my fast later, and still not tempted. Results are enlightening. Once fully into it, over the hurdle of the first stages (worst generally is the fourth, I found), better mood, more energy, sharper thinking, better sleep, incredible weight loss (about 4kg per week once properly into it). I lost more than 15kg with this approach. Though, it's true, it made me more relaxed about eating between fasts, so I could have kept more weight off (slow creep sometimes, especially over Christmas). It's true also that doing it with others around, and doing it while working makes it a lot harder. I did it during breaks, long weekends, holidays, and generally alone, keeping the apartment clear of food, of course. I also should add that this developed out of a combination of health problems I was having, plus weight gain, so developed over time and experimentation, so doing it suddenly is maybe not doable. Also I had experimented a lot with low carbs and ketogenic diets, so had gotten used to being in ketosis too, so that maybe made fasting easier for me as well. Also, the fact that I had these reasons and did this experimentation, taking it quite far, is kind of out of some level of desperation, and I can't be sure that the more extreme things I did, the fasts of 10 days and more, etc., do not have some harmful effect, at least in the long term. Short term benefits, weight loss, fine, but I'm still not sure that there might not turn out to be good reason to not take it as far as I did, so 'beware', I'm no expert. Learn about it. Stuff on the channel 'what i've learned' helped a lot in understanding the processes. I think there's more for me to learn, for example what better to eat in the days before it, and how best to come out of it.

Started fasting two days a week (Mondays and Fridays) and eating enough calories on the other days to make up for it. My injuries are healing to the point I can start exercising again. I'm off kinesiotape and I look years younger, lighter than I've been in years! Praise God for this discovery and for the gift of fasting and prayer, and prayer walking!

I combined apple cider vinegar with my 16-8 fasting. Just a table spoon mixed with a glass of water. It seems to work. I lost 30 lbs in three months. I weighted 190 before that. My pre-hypertension is gone too!

There was a time that i was laughed at when i used to fast for ramadan. Even doctors told my parents that it was dangerous😂. Alhamdoulilah. Ramadan is my favorite month

Every second fasted is more autophagy and you always have autophagy going on. It will take 3-4 days to get into maximum autophagy however, which is much more dramatic than what most people experience day to day.

Surely there is a significant difference if you exercise in the fasted state. I do IF 8 16, but most mornings I run for an hour or so. I have noticed that on long runs at a certain point I can feel my body starting to use fat when glucose has run out. I also notice I feel quite different in other ways. I know if I just sit around I have to fast much longer to get those feelings.

Fasting for 14hrs overnight is pretty effortless

This has been a challenging time, and I appreciate you so much Dr Igudia, you have created a life that I thought was lost, thank you so much for curing my type 2 Diabetes

Asking the question has taken 2 minutes of my life. The answer took 1 sec😂😂😂😂

Dr looking gorgeous on this interview, just glowing.

I did 16/8 IF for a few months and my cholesterol went from 204 to 178. It's been 200 for twenty years and IF is the only thing that brought it down. Will keep going and can't wait for what other benefits I get. 8)))

Besides weight loss the benefit of fasting that I noticed is my skin become softer... Even im a male

I had stage 4 cancer, at deaths door. I fasted 2 days straight, all gone!! Miracles can happen.

I'm fasting everyday almost all year long and it's great.

Wow! Big difference between mice and humans. Going to have to do some prolonged fasts, not just intermittent or OMAD. :P

there are probably varying factors that influence the onset of autophagy

Couldn't I just have a shot which puts me to sleep for 4 days.

Great info! I'm going to get my pet mice on this program right away.

I fasted for 45 hours I felt like a new person. I once did a 33 hours fast that gave me a headache.... I am usually not eating for 12-20 hours each day. Eating window of 4-12 hours. Most days 8 hours... But sometimes I am changing because of family dinners etc... My new try is no carbs for one week.

I think intermittent fasting does to your body what high amounts of exercise does, and works so well because we're so sedentary. When I intermittently fast as an office worker who works out once a day, I start to feel like I did as a cross country runner in high school (two workouts a day, plus PE, and a ton of food small meals that fly in the face of intermittent fasting, OMAD programs). I think we all need more exercise and accompanying good sleep and nutritious food, and when we can't get it, less calories and less time processing calories.

What a great voice he has

I started IF one month ago at 20/4. It was difficult at first, but now I am doing 22/2 or 23/1 most days. I am completely satisfied with this routine. I get an energy boost at about 0900 every morning that is like taking speed. It's unbelievable. That's when I get my housework done!

In Aug 2021, I decided to fast for 7 days. When just 1 hour was left to complete 4th day my brain went nuts and I ended up having veg. augratin and apple pie 🤣

She asks good questions, the whole video was so accurate, answers were straight forward. This is the kind of videos that's needs to encouraged sometimes. Thank you so much.

Great video's thank you 😊

Humans that choose to fast are also in a calmer state mentally, than a rodent that's being withheld food against its will. Also i believe our spiritual aspect of being comes into play during all stages of fasting.

I am Hindu but the most fascinating fasting I have seen in Jainism where its called Athai Vrath and they drink only water for 8 days and that too its allowed only twice a day to drink

Well that was a waste of time

Fasting has both given me the most gorgeous clear skin I never thought was possible. No expensive creams or any bs

What has worked wonders for me is one month in the year I fast 18hrs a day whilst doing medium aerodic exercise( 4/5 hrs)....for the rest of the year OMD in a three hour window for ( 333 - 44 days )... five day straight..Strangely when I cheat I experience discomfort .. Can't say the say for my kittens Peanut, Kiwi and Berry!!!

I fasted for 3 days and lost 15 pounds from about 205 to 190

Sorry, I had to turn this video off when the interviewer took almost half the video to ask the same question over and over without letting the person who knows the answer actually speak.

I just did my First long fast with 30 hours Just did a good workout and i feel AMAZING

I love her interviews but I do notice her questions are always 5 minute long while the person being interviewed sits and listens waiting for the question mark

I love fasting on a regular basis, if I am not fasting, I don't feel good!

I have been running mostly on ketones for the last eight days dropped 6 pounds and my heart rate is way down to the upper 60s at times when I had to fight sometimes to get it below 100 with medication. just checked it's 69. Im taking 1/2 the Metoprolol needed. Doctors dont even know this. I eat one time a day, a little on the light side and mostly protein as to not trigger insulin. I have at least a minimum of 30 more pounds to go so I'm nowhere near overdoing this. I eat dry lettuce as a snack food when bored as it has next to no calories and water sometimes lemon juice in it. for bad breath. I feel good but I feel tired still as I always felt tired but this is better tired. i take a b complex and magnesium and extra salt and Vit C. Edit I have now completed 50 days of eating one meal a day, I have lost 27 pounds max. I feel tired my sleep is poor but my atrial fibrillation is still gone heart rate is so great and I no longer feel like I'm dying 20 more pounds to go. I'm looking more youthful in the face, I'm 65 years old. i had sagging jowls. they are rapidly going away I'm spending more of each day sitting and walking rather than lying down. I always ate what i thought was healthy until i realized carbohydrate is sugar and starch and they are the same thing according to science both are sugar. so eating 900 pounds of starch a year will kill you just as fast. it was my wife's birthday and I took her out and ate normal carbs and got a big nauseating stomach ache. i dont do well eating any corn product and it's in everything. The big bottle of Metformin has gone untouched, on this desk i think I keep it as a reminder.

Thanks Dr Okter.

Besides the hours fasted, would the amount of food and calories intake a make difference in getting toward autophagy? I would think a person with 1200 calories instead of 2000 calories intake before fasting for 20 hours would have better results? And the amount of energy expended during the day.

Everyday I exercise in fasted state for 45min cardio 15minutes HIIT, Then Steam Sauna for 30minutes then break my fast after 18hrs of fasting.

Has there been any recent studies since this clip with more evidence of autophagy? I try to do approx 16 hrs fasting. I can lift more weights in the gym so I suspect my testosterone level is higher. I'm in my mid 50's and I see no drop off at all in my strength. I would say my libido is also higher. Which I could do without if I'm perfectly honest :-)

Try a 3 day water fast and at the 71 hour run a 10K. It was like a normal run. And I think the benefits have improved since that, cause now I can hit the 48HR FASTING without hunger o difficulties. Give it a try. i HAS DONE GOOD THINGS TO MY HEALTH

Three years later, is there any data or new research to extrapolate minimum fasting length for autophagy in other organs, other than le liver mentioned in this video? Thanks! Ciao from Italy, L

My (repeated) experience of water fasting is, past the initial stronger loss due to water loss, a loss of 2lbs/day. That's 1.25% of my body mass per day, making the 4-day loss about 5%. I don't know where the number of 2% comes from, it should be revised.

A very smart person ... and doctor as well.

Deffo feeling benefits at the 48 hour mark where l believe autophagy really ramps up as well as AGH production which presumably helps the immunity to re-set.My issue is with finding a balance between Ketosis and Autophagy and if or where one cancels the other.I'm good with my weight 10.5 stone at 5ft 9ins and am trying to address a trapezoid inflammatory problem with a meatless (omad) regime long adapted to.I didn't set out to go the Ketosis route but find myself in that state judging by the infamous 'keto-flu' i find myself in,so guess i'm in 'dirt-keto' territory lol. I find it bemusing hearing dr Bergs regular recommended 'grass-fed' meat and eggs protocols but not having the coin for this l just quit the antibiotics ridden corporate farmed stuff and stick with fish which i imagine doesn't by definition get the same 'infusion' treatment as red-meat ?,but generally i'm finding a fry pan of chopped red onion,ton of mushrooms,cherry tomatoes,spinach,garlic and 2 fried eggs ,served on a sesame bagel,sees me good for over 24 hours regularly. I wish there was a definitive,nuanced guide to measure the intersections of a diet like mine more geared to Autophagy and AGH rather than strictly Ketosis but hard to judge if i'm on a self cancelling regime by snacking on a cheese and pickle bagel for example between the OMAD.Don't want to kill myself to live,maybe 2 x 72's a year for an immune reset ? very hard to gauge...conflicting information being what it is ?

I think it depends on the person and activity levels

Rodents have to almost starve themselves to death to induce autophagy. Humans: "Can we get the same benefits by not eating for 14 hours?"

Fasting does gets easier . In the past, I’d binge after a attempted fast , on evening #1 lol. I’m better now :) .Go up bit by bit , like 14 hrs., 24 hrs. , 36 hrs, 48 hr, 72 hrs..... I’m currently doing rolling 48’s , filled by 1 day of keto IF, then another 48 hr water fast ... I’ll be throwing in 3-7 day fasts here and there. I have the body weight to handle this though. There are still great options for smaller people.

At start of covid I drank a cup of maple sap a day for 3 days , had a can of sardines at day 4 at night and got on my bike left Ottawa to Saskatchewan. Day 5 had another can and made it by the nite of the 7th day . March 8 was a cold ride . As of late one meal days are here for a bit .

16:8 with cardio and calistenics in the morning for 45 mins. No need to go more than that because of the workout. For me works wonders

No wonder micky mouse always in a good shape!

Oh I’m so late to this video! Dr. Rhonda had a baby??!! CONGRATULATIONS. You look adorable pregnant. Blessings!

i think the newest information on fasting in humans indicates that 18 hours into a fast induces autophagy and autophagy begins to slow down at 24 hours fasting

I found after 18 hrs I could really feel it.
