What it's really like not eating for 5 days

I try water fasting for 5 days to help me reset my gut microbiome, control my sugar cravings and improve my overall health. A water fast seems simple enough, but the healing benefits are said to be very powerful, if you can make it past the hunger. 😉

No caffeine and processed sugar is going well since the fast! I may make a video about that!

How you're not a bonified comedian I'll never know 😂 Such a good video. A really clear and honest explanation of the struggles from the journey and then also the benefits you found post fast. It's not too far away from the experience when I fast through Ramadan (but 5 days!!!). Big time respect to you! Let me know how you get on with your big reduction/cutting out sugar and processed foods, it'll be really interesting to see the experience of sustaining that way of eating (likely how we were designed to eat, before sugar and processed foods were made to taste sooo good 😂)

I thought about stand up, but I’m more of a sit down kinda guy. Hahaha! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video, and actually you’ve given me an idea… Perhaps I do a follow up video, talking about no processed sugar and no caffeine? Hey, fasting for Ramadan is a feat in and of itself and not too dissimilar!

I love the intro Aidan! That was hilarious! I found this video very informative and entertaining! One thing I do to keep myself full throughout the day is to drink 2 cups of water (16 ounces / .48 litres) before each meal because it helps with overeating. Did you record how much water you drank everyday? I try to drink 120 ounces (3.5 litres) of water per day. I'm guessing your body water percentage went up because you drank more water than usual regardless of the fasting. You got some great results man and I found it interesting how you looked at the microbiome. I'd like to study more about that myself! Anyway! Great job! I can tell you put alot of effort into this video and I think it was fantastic! Keep up the good work Aidan!

@AidanBelizaire Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much Jason! Glad you enjoyed. I didn't exactly track my water no, but it was 2L minimum per day for sure. You should totally research into the microbiome, it's very interesting and (in my opinion) vital to keep healthy and balanced!

@christyc6637 Жыл бұрын

Hey from California! An answer to your question about why your body retained a bit more water - and also why there’s a boost of energy after a few days: if you think of human development, food was sometimes scarce. Your body sends hunger signals out, etc like crazy for the first day or so, but when these aren’t met, you go into survival and search mode - retaining water and getting a boost of energy so that you can go seek nourishment. Food (in this scenario) is likely a journey away - this is even more reason for extra water and extra energy. Some ‘food’ for thought for you. Love your content and humor - subscribed!

Oh brilliant! Thank you for educating me! And thanks for taking the time to watch the video! I'm really glad you enjoyed! I hope you'll enjoy my upcoming videos too. Regarding 'food for thought' - FANTASTIC. Humor knows humor haha! 🙌🏽

You’re very welcome! I’m a teacher so I can’t help it! A video idea for you to consider - documenting learning a new skill - especially one you’ve not ever really tried. One of the things I teach is art - it’s gratifying to see my students learn new skills but they also gain confidence and creative energy. Even though art isn’t necessarily a traditional personal growth it can definitely help be a catalyst. Documenting your learning and any other effects might be interesting and lots of room for humor! Plus…if you pick art there’s lots of opportunities to make a terrible mess and wear a beret. Lol. Keep up the great work!

@AidanBelizaire Жыл бұрын

@@christyc6637 this is a fantastic idea! I start planning after the next few videos. My personal opinion, being a creative person, is that the arts are incredibly important. From music to the theatre to the camera to the canvas. And I can’t paint/draw at all so it’ll certainly be a challenge! Thanks for the great idea! 😊🎨🧑‍🎨
