      After fasting (assuming you eat needed daily sodium potassium magnesium, in good health and daily excersing to not lose muscle mass) for more than 3 days you need to start eating slowly to avoid refeeding syndrome. Good number of doctors agree about benefits of (although still there's a debate) fasting now but the number of quacks and chiropractors also talking about it and spreading misinformation is huge

    • @pinokosthewife
      @pinokosthewife Месяц назад +20

      When you fast, your stomach shrinks! So a small amount of food can make you feel really full! If you don't ease into eating more after Ramadan, you often end up with a stomach ache eating your previous usual serving of lunch. So, his stomach probably had shrunk so much, that literally filled it!

    The re-feeding section reminded me of a story my grandfather told me about WWII. While liberating concentration camps, the American army (and some others I’m sure) would feed as much as they could to the victims, accidentally and inadvertently making them sick. On impulse it makes sense, you find a starving person so you feed them and try to counteract the malnutrition, but it’s a grim reaction.

      My granda said that too. The soldiers initial instincts were to hand out whatever rations they had with them, but so many people got sick & died from this that eventually the army had to come up with strict guidelines about what kind of food & how much to feed the survivors to gradually get their bodies used to food again. That may have actually been where the term re-feeding syndrome came from

    • @InsanementMedia
      @InsanementMedia Месяц назад +9

      It was that the incident after the WWII, that cued the people to the idea of refeeding syndrome…. If any does fast, i would suggest meat as the first meal, not fruit and vegetables…fruit are high in sugar which triggers inflammation and an insulin response, faster heart rate and increase of blood pressure… vegetables have a similar response, including root vegetables. Fruit and vegetables have chemicals in them that are harmful to the human body…look into botany and learn why vegans who abstain from meat, tend to be on the ill and sickly side of life and stay away from the SAD Diet… process and processed food are healthy for no one.

Have to take hours dripping water drop by drop, either with electrolytes or minimal amount of dissolved stuff, a single drop out of place makes the child throw up and spasm. Forgot about the food stuff and the special care for even intravenous diet, but that alone is wild!

    I was doing intermittent fasting and went glucose free for years. I felt great and I had a very physical job at the time. Then I started shedding a ton of weight one winter. It got to the point where I was eating over 4,000 calories per day and still losing weight. I was going through Diabetic Keto Acidosis without even knowing what that was. No history of diabetes in my family, but I am now a Type I LADA diabetic. I don't know if my fasting had anything to do with it. I'm just mentioning that these events all happened at the same time.

      @jessicaolson490 Месяц назад

      It almost certainly did not have anything to do with your diet. Type one is an autoimmune condition. A more common trigger is a viral infection. Sometimes it teaches your body to attack your own cells and then over the course of one or two years your body kills off the pancreatic cells that produce insulin! There are some families where it runs genetically but like you said there's no one in your family.

    • @dougstrother5184

      Hi! Type 1 diabetic here. Type 1 diabetes is largely autoimmune. Meaning your immune system attacks the cells in your pancreas that produce insulin. It’s not impossible but pretty unlikely that it would be anything else. Im not a medical professional so of course do your own research before taking my words to heart because, as always, I don’t know what I don’t know

      @darcieclements4880 Месяц назад +4

      I'm so glad you survived. It's hard to say if they were linked or not but people who have lower carb diets don't get the same diabetic symptoms as early as they should so it tends to jump directly to ketoacidosis which is terrifying. People who have zero carb diets will get ketoacidosis even without being diabetic.

Both paid and "free" healthcare can work well in countries with lower corruption and vaguely competent public sectors. The US is a bad example of paid healthcare, the UK is a bad example of "free" healthcare.

I’d say my ‘window’ is about 8-10 hrs. I can’t eat when I first wake up, either. I have to give it an hour and keep amounts small because I will feel sick. So I have to supplement with a smoothie or something. That way I can get in enough calories.

    A boss of mine years back did the _"lemonade fasting/cleansing diet"_ for a week. He basically only consumed a gallon jug of lemon juice with turmeric and some other random ingredients each day, but to start it he drank only saltwater. Needless to say, he spent that week on the toilet and felt like garbage.

When people are too old or too fragile to do cauterization will give them extra blood products and put them on special diets and stomach acid reducers to hopefully help them heal .

    So I have been obese since i was a child. Most diets and exercise routines did not help much. Either I would drop off or after months see no progress. One year I tried the keto diet and found it tolerable enough to stick to it. I eventually added intermittent fasting too it, eating just one meal a day. I went from 315 lbs to 200 in 9 months. I noticed I only pooped about once every 2 weeks. When I stopped I gradually fell back into my old habits and slowly regained all my lost weight over 2 years. Today I weigh more then ever and have gone back onto the keto diet. I don't know what the solution for me should be. But for now I am going back to the only thing that worked.

    I went for 7 days in 2023 and then another 4 days about a week later. Each time for 3 days I felt hungry and then from the 4th Day on did not feel hungry but actually felt pretty decent. The only thing that made me feel bad for say was people constantly pushing food on me which is nothing new to me because I grew up in a family that was constantly pushing food on me like it was the Great Depression which is why they were pushing food on me because my great grandparents Survived the Great Depression. And I did have some sort of supervision which was my brother who qualified as a Marine Corps field medic and I wasn't just going cold turkey I was drinking a Gatorade once a day along with a multivitamin and at least seven glasses of water a day. I forgot to mention that I also work for a hotel and I'm kind of surrounded by food. That was the other tough part, other than that once you stop feeling hungry and don't use the bathroom as much you find that you have tons of free time and then realize that when you did eat when you had free time.

    • @lexibat7829
      @lexibat7829 Месяц назад +3

      If you're drinking gatorade, you're consuming a sh!t ton of sugar, which isn't truly fasting. (It's similar to going on a "juice fast).
      It's wise to supplement with electolytes when fasting, for sure. Look for elecrolyte drops that contain no sweeteners. (No artificial dyes or flavors, either!)
      You can enter ketosis on less than 50 grams of carbohydrates a day, (less than 20 grams will greatly increase your level of ketosis). One 20 oz bottle of gatorade has 36 grams of carbohydrates, 34 of those grams being straight sugar.
      The health benefits of fasting are due to autophagy, which begins at around 18 hours, but really ramps up after 24 to 48 hours. If you're consuming nothing but sugar, your body can't enter autophagy.

    I eat 1 meals a day(mostly a very large lunch and a big fruit shake(with yogurt and fresh or frozen fruits) at night and light snacks in between usually around 2000 to 2500 calories) I don't even feel hungry during the 16 hours and I don't deny myself any fast food cravings(with moderation of course). I snack on cheese puffs, chips, pop corn, and chocolate, there's really no restrictions, but if I have potato chips for example it's mostly to satisfy the craving and I don't need it for another month or more. don't get me wrong at the start it was hard, the craving is always there, but 3 years later It's barely there like an old friend who calls onces in a while.
    I used to count calories very very strictly at the start, but now I just have a feeling when it's enough. you'll eventually get used to the amount of food and calories by looking, plus going over or under a little isn't going to hurt you. I look good, don't have to stress over what I eat and my huge lunch is always super satisfying, the fruit shake satisfies my strong sweet tooth as well. not to mention one meal a day is so easy to maintain!

    I've practiced intermittent fasting my whole life due to culture reasons, it certainly had very positive affects as I got older and remain healthy body and mind with a youthful appearance

    You don't need a strict diet. Simply cut out sugars wherever possible. And carbs are in the same category of easily bio-available energy... which you probably don't need if you aren't rocking it on the court or at the gym. But bread is fluffy and chewy and fun to eat. So I got cows and now make cheese regularly, in order to satisfy the craving. Substituting Lettuce or Cabbage leaves for bread, is a very price-conscious method, and it seems to mostly work. I can't get my damned hydroponics system to actually grow the stupid stuff.... lol. I really want to. It is nice to make your own favorite food.

    Prana is about balance, not about completely giving up on food and living off of sunlight. This is a typical case of Charlestons making use of vague records of some historical thing to their benefit.

    Really love the criticism on strict diets! They're not for everyone and shouldn't be taken up randomly. If you wanna be healthly you can't take out a whole food group for a prolonged period of time 😅 remember calories aren't all bad!

    Video contains references to weight loss and extreme dieting. Just a fair warning to those with triggers for EDs

    The cynicism of breatherianism can't be overstated. There are people starving to death every day, and these people are telling us that all we need is breathing with the right technique. Oh all the lives that could be saved...

    I did IF for a few months. I wasnt massively restrictive - i only did the 16:8 ratio, but the weight did drop off! I lost about 25 pounds. I had to stop though because after 3 months my periods stopped, despite me still being in a healthy weight range. I did some googling and apparently its not good for most women due to our bodies needing more consistent energy supply or something bc of our hormones

    I'm kind of interested in trying a fast. Maybe not the longer fasts described here but some of the shorter ones.
