I’ve been intermittently fasting for months, recently started fasting over the weekends, not eating from Thursday night all the way to Sunday night, it’s tough but it gets easier every time I do it. I am coming to a year now since I started my health journey, I lost 40kg of fat, and feel my best. God bless you Dr. Sten Ekberg.

I’m carnivore and have been fat adapted for almost a year now and I do really well at the OMAD fast, but the last couple of 3 day fasts I’ve tried have been miserable and by day 3 I’m so dizzy, weak, and sick that I have to eat. I have a keto mojo and by the morning of day three, I’m at glucose of 71 and ketones of 4.9. I drink my electrolyte fasting drops, but I still get dizzy. Since I’ve been eating zero carbs for months and feeling great, I thought fasting long term would get easier, but it’s getting worse. People say they love the mental clarity when they long term fast but I get brain fog. I seem to be experiencing the opposite of normal. I want the benefits of a long term fast, but maybe I’m just someone who can’t do them. I still have 50 pounds left to lose, so plenty of fat left to work off, but I’ve lost almost 100 pounds so far! I wish I could say the more I do my 3 day fasts, the easier they get, but I’m one of those that keeps getting worse. It also creates stomach issues for me when I start eating again (even though I start slowly with introducing food)

@@TMB-B10M it’s my third weekend in a row now, by Saturday I will be dizzy and feel like I want to faint. I found resting is essential, drinking water, tea and coffee, the later two with coconut cream really takes the edge off. I’m sorry to read it isn’t as easy for you as it may be to me, but know it’s not “easy” it’s definitely effort to keep it going. My goal essentially for me is to lose as much of my left over fat as I can, and be able to go without food for at least 3 days a week while only eating dinner for 4 days. But I also been thinking maybe eat every 48 hours that could also be powerful. About that mental clarity, I’ve had it throughout up to Xmas where I took a “break” from the diet, it was really really bad and I wish I didn’t take that break it took me a whole month finding back to it. But you’re doing the right thing, defeating the hunger and food addiction is the best thing you can do. I feel free

I have cancer and take weekly chemo treatments. I have had 13 treatments. I watched an oncologist KZfaq video and she said she recommends fasting for 48 hours before chemo treatments to her patients. The ones who do so have less side effects from the chemo. So I have fasted all but two times. Those two times I felt much worse. I was exhausted, had blurry vision, some chest pain, and back ache. I went back to fasting and feel fine after my treatment. I get a little tired but nothing like the times I didn’t fast. There is also the possibility that the chemo treatments will fight the cancer better when it’s given in a fasted state. My prognosis is good. Fasting rocks!

Beef is especially high because it's all aged at the butcher before it's sold and that allows the histaDine to break down to histaMine and become a big problem for the histamine intolerant folk. But lots of spices, vegetables, and fruit have histamine, too.

Here is a summary of the key points from the video: - Fasting for 100 hours can have many health benefits like weight loss, reduced inflammation, improved mental clarity, lowered insulin resistance, and possibly reversed type 2 diabetes. - When fasting, the body primarily burns glycogen stores for the first 24 hours. This releases water stored with glycogen, resulting in initial weight loss. It then transitions to burning more fat. - Fasting lowers insulin levels, helping the body become more insulin sensitive. This promotes fat burning over storage and reduces hunger. - Fasting activates autophagy, the process of cellular cleaning and rejuvenation. It also increases growth hormone and BDNF levels, both beneficial for tissue repair and brain function. - Fasting may reduce inflammation by lowering pro-inflammatory immune cells and free radicals. It can improve gut and microbiome health as well. - Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium should be supplemented during extended fasts to prevent symptoms from their loss. - LDL and total cholesterol levels may rise with fasting initially but LDL particle counts fall, reducing heart disease risk. - Most people will not lose muscle during shorter fasts due to growth hormone elevation. Bone and organ reserves also allow fasting without nutrient deficiency. In summary, intermittent or extended fasting can provide various health benefits by inducing metabolic changes like autophagy and ketosis. Electrolyte supplementation is recommended for fasts over 24 hours.

@drekberg , could you please create an in-depth video about breaking a prolonged fast? I believe it merits as much attention as the fasting period itself, due to the potential benefits of protein and fat intake when levels of HGH and other hormones are elevated towards the end of the fast. This contrasts with the intake of high glucose/fructose, which can result in a significant insulin spike and drastic changes in electrolyte balance, potentially leading to issues with the kidneys and heart.

I've been doing this for 3 years. I water fast 2 to 3 times per year for 72 hours, and I regularly practice OMAD during the week, taking a break on weekends by eating healthy 2 or 3 times a day. It has yielded surprising results for me-I've gone from 220 to 167 pounds. I've also been weightlifting, which has helped me burn fat while gaining muscle mass. Those who claim you cannot make gains while following the OMAD diet are mistaken. While you may not gain as much muscle as with bulking, I prefer to build lean muscle mass and maintain a lean body rather than becoming bulky.

Today is the 39th day of a 40 fast for me. My body took about four days to clear of all glucose in my system. Usually, by day 7, I get extremely sick. This time, since I've been on a keto diet for six years, there was no sickness. By about day 20, I felt like I could go on without food forever and even came to despise the control food has on me. I have felt just fine. By the 30th day, my ketones started reading 7.6,to 8.0 (just this morning) and three days it just read "HI". By sugar for the last week has set off alarms on my continuous glucose monitor. I silenced the one that signals lower than 70, but at 55, I can't turn off the alarms. My sugar for the last week has been about 50-54. To prevent it from sounding an alarm while I'm sleeping, I force stop the app on my phone before I go to bed. I'm not doing this for weight loss, (though I've lost 35 lbs.) I'm doing it for spiritual reasons. This is the fourth time I've done this in the last 30 years. I'm just doing water, filtered and spring water. I'm feeling great. Coming off the fast, I plan to go carnivore. Of course, breaking the fast will take a few days, just waking up my system. I plan to come off with bone broth, and then egg custard. Eventually, I will introduce meat, maybe starting with some chicken. It's not scary. I started January 2nd, after the holidays, and will come off Feb. 10th. It's an experience I have learned to embrace, because of all the benefits.

@@simondunne5362 Thanks for your interest. This was the fourth time in my life that I've fasted 40 days. I didn't do it for health reasons, but for spiritual ones. I have always planned them starting the day after new years day. That means, beginning January 2 and finishing February 10. I do that because there are rarely events happening in January, and my birthday is February 15th, so I want to be finished and back to eating regularly by then. I started wearing a CGM (Constant Glucose Monitor) just before I began. I wanted to see how my body was reacting to the fast this time. As in other times, I only drank water. We have a whole house filter that removes all chemicals from the water, so that's what i drank. I stopped all supplements and prescription medicine while fasting, since whatever you take during that time is magnified in it's effect on the body. I did take a pinch of salt occasionally to help with electrolytes. The first few days, my body was using up all the glucose in my body, so my blood sugar remained pretty consistent until its depletion. As mentioned above, Usually by days 7 to 10 my body will flush out all toxins. During previous fasts, I would get physically sick. But by day 15, it was not a problem. By the 20th day, I feel like I could go on forever, and by the 25th day, I began to hate the way my body was controlled by food. My blood sugar had gone down to 70's and 60's. At times, I was awakened at night by my phone indicating my sugar was done below 55. I eventually stopped the app before bed so as not to be disturbed. I test my ketones every morning. By the 20th day, my ketones were in the 5's and 5's and by the 40th day, they were consistently in the high 7's to 8, and three times, it just said, "high". Since I had not been eating food, I was extremely cold. I wore thermal underwear to bed and wore heavy sweaters during the day. By the end, I had lost 30 lbs. Following the fast, I had chosen to go carnivore, which is meat and meat products. To break the fast, the first day I had some bone broth from the freezer. By noon, I added an egg to equal parts of bone broth and steamed it for egg pudding. I repeated that for dinner. The next day, I had scrambled eggs, adding a little more solid food each day. By the evening of the third day, my wife and I went out for a date night, and I ordered a steak. It was wonderful. My stool took several days to regulate. But if you consider, you are awakening your system, you just have to exercise patience. I could probably tell you more, but that's the important stuff.

I'm literally just about to make it 100 hours. 4AM CDST tomorrow morning, I'll hit 100 hours and will get up, eat eggs, and meat. Later in the day, some cheese. I started both at 12:15AM on May 1st, I started my fast and at 8:30, I started walking again. I feel sure I actually made a couple of weeks straight of this back around 1989, but that's so long ago, that I can't recall. It's a whole lot harder when you don't have a handy distraction. I can't tell that I've lost any weight or fat, but as far as walking goes, I'm not even quitting.

I've been intermittently fasting for 12 years, now - long before it was an internet sensation - and I am the healthiest person I know. I have so much energy and sleep very easily. Now, I cannot say that it is all because of fasting, but I don't know anyone else my age (turning 40) that can say the same. I haven't always been eating healthy, either, but gave my body enough time to heal by fasting almost every day for 12 years.

Hi Dr. Ekberg! I'm wondering if you can do a video about what happens to body when you donate blood during fasting? (If there are benefits or disadvantages of it?) I've been doing OMAD (5x a week for more than a year (not strict), but I'm used to it. The other day, I came to pass by a blood donation drive, when I was about 23 hours in fasting, and did weights workout in lunchtime. I did it without feeling lightheaded or anything. I'm just wondering though if there is an effect to the body when doing it while fasting. Love all your videos! PS: Also, does it bring benefits to the donee, like the autophagy? I'm curious.
@drekberg 3 ай бұрын
Thank you @jdp5974. Interesting question. I'm just shooting from the hip here. I think a healthy body can adapt to a whole lot more than we think. I don't think it's a big deal to donate blood whether you are fasting or not. You do give away some resources though, which is why they don't let you do it very often. It's possible that by giving away some blood protein, you increase the autophagy effect. I don't see how the donee would receive any additional benefit, since the benefits are due to limited resources in the person who is not eating. It is an adaptation response. Even if there are some compounds in the blood to be transferred, I don't think there is enough of them to create significant benefit. 😄

Good morning Dr. Ekberg, I really enjoyed this video, I have a question about fasting. You did say that a person need to supplement their electrolytes when doing an extended fast, so what are the electrolytes that you would suggest? Is coconut water a good electrolyte to use, or would you suggest something like a power mixture that doesn’t contain sugar, or artificial sweeteners? I’ve done extended fasts before, and I fell off the boat in terms of my health, however I’m pretty good in fasting. I did notice you said we should start cutting carbs first, so I’ll do that because my sugar has gone up, as well as my blood pressure.

I just finished a 7 day consecutive prolonged fast and wow I HIGHLY encourage everyone do this at least once a month. I slept better, had more energy in the morning, more mental clarity, sure I was physically weaker, but the pros outweigh the cons. But the best thing I obtained from doing a 7 day fast was that my STOMACH (the organ, not just my torso) shrunk! I broke my fast having a single bowl of chicken and rice soup, followed by a rotisserie chicken leg. And I was full instantly with no desire to binge on anything else. Cravings were completely destroyed and I lost 8 pounds during the fast. The food industry is LYING to you. They tell you you need to eat three meals a day. And honestly, you should only eat three meals a day if you haven’t finished puberty and if you are severely thin waist, thigh, neck and chest circumference, but if you are an average to obese weight, you should really be eating 1 every other day or 1 day within an hour AT MOST.
