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
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.
Heard about it in college when a teacher that worked with children in dangerous conditions on other countries talked about rehydrating and re-feeding dehydrated and malnourished infants. 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!

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
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!

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.
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.
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
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.
Notably a very sad case of refeeding syndrome that’s rarely talked about is during the liberation of the concentration camps in WW2 where American troops were handing medically starved prisoners biscuits or chocolate bars out of good faith and lead to upwards of thousands of Jewish deaths from quick and overconsumption of the given foods.
Probably has to do with the Buddhist Monk way of slowly fasting themselves to death to preserve their bodies... completely dehydrated. It was outlawed at a certain point . "Sokushinbutsu (即身仏) are a type of Buddhist mummy. In Japan the term refers to the practice of Buddhist monks observing asceticism to the point of death and entering mummification while alive."

I did the 8/16 fasting few years ago BUT of course my eating window was full of essential nutrients and good food and did some excersice. My body transformed completely. There is truth in the saying you are what you eat.
I feel like I do something similar naturally. Well, naturally now. I have Crohn’s and as a kid I’d get really sick in the middle of the night so the doctors recommended no snack after dinner and making sure I didn’t go to sleep too soon after eating. 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.
Feels kinda random, but I remember a time where I went into refeeding after avoiding meals in order to get to work on time, I ended up recovering from that but refeeding is a seriously dangerous thing and make sure you avoid it, take care and the world is better with you in it!
I wish I had the will to do that, man. Nothing could distract me enough to not eat. Food touches upon your serotonin receptors, and I have little joy in life. I also can't see anything magically making me feel more joyful. I've also been on just about every antidepressant that there is.
buproprion... it's also very stimulating with effects similar to amphetamines... the doctors let me keep it if I maintain a healthy weight... it's the only thing that makes me be able to be happy... so I force food down 😶
believe me when you are free from the chain of food addiction suddenly there are tons of interesting thing you want to see in this world interest in sport, reading, playing games etc2
Food can cause depression. Sugar can be bad, for example. Other foods can cause inflammation, which can be linked to some types of depression. Cut out junk food and eat more home cooked meals, if you're not already doing so.
I feel so sorry for you and I understand how you feel, I hope you're getting the help you need to get better. recovering from an ED is not easy at all but you have to find the motivation to start, it's about your physical and mental health and this disorder is going to destroy your life if you don't get out of it. once you find the motivation, it's going to be so hard but in the long run you'll realize it's going to be so worth it.
hold on, this guy who was working an average job with no higher education requirement could just frequently visit the hospital and be kept overnight for monitoring? Where the heck was the money for this coming from? Edit: He's from Scotland apparently which had enacted national publically funded healthcare around 19 years earlier.
I mean it tells you its the UK in the first few minutes mate. Most modern countries allow working class people to access medical services, many have tax funded free-at-the-point-service healthcare and more have semi-subsidised paid healthcare that is affordable and guaranteed for serious issues. 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.
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.
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.
I believe it's 4 teaspoons of salt per litre which matches the specific gravity of your blood or something. It goes right through you shortly afterwards. I managed 40-day fast at 50 successfully with no complications, and an 8-day fast at 60 - the latter quitting over complications.
It's only meant to clear the person out, which only shows benefit after, but doing so causes depletion of some nutrients, which leads to flu-like symptoms. Continuing to eat junk food is literally like drinking poison while you take the antidote once in a while, so a lot of people just plain do it wrong then blame the method. Cannot take one part of a multi-step lifestyle change and expect that one tiny piece to work.
Fasting has many health benefits. He must’ve been huge to be able to go a whole year without eating. 400+ pounds sounds about right. The body used his fat for fuel.
likely he was just very low calorie intake, supplements and beverages tend to contain quite a few kcals that aren't listed on the packaging - especially supplements like fish oil and sugar bulking agents used in tablets. Being British he was likely consuming tea and coffee with milk - albeit only a little milk is added, many working class Britons especially back then could be drinking more than 4 cups a day - more at work to take advantage of tea/smoke breaks between jobs.
Brew! Diabetic ketoacidosis is only when you have diabetes, hence the diabetic at the start of the disease word. Non-diabetic ketoacidosis (NDKA) is from extreme diets without the presence of diabetes. It's much harder to trigger vs DKA.
Angus Barbieri was 5' 10" so the entry on his death certificate that his death was due obesity must have referred to his early life somehow. His BMI with 196 lbs put him at 28.1, which is overweight category, not obese.
@spring7643 I guess an ulcer, they can perforate and bleed profusely. At the time there were not as many treatments other than removing a portion of the stomach.
@@momkatmaxI second that! Man was only drinking black coffee, tea and sparkling water while fasting, I'm sure that's not good for your stomach and he had pretty bad acid reflux that could have become gastritis and then an ulcer...
@webshark0 My Grandpa in the late 70's got a stomach bleed, and had surgery at age 86. He didn't recover. Now, there are treatments of courses of antibiotics and / or antacids that get you back in shape.
It's still really deadly actually. And if you're really old they often can't risk surgery or cauterization even. But it's easier to give blood products then it used to be (I'm not actually sure the year that it became a more common practice). 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 .
Fasting ketones will not lead to diabetic ketoacidosis in someone without diabetes. I'm glad you're listing risks but this episode felt a little fear-mongery (except the breatharians, those guys are short a marble or two)
I have always struggled with my weight, but when i finally got my own house i dropped over 50lbs in a year. Turns out eating on my families time instead of when I was hungry and probably stress from a (now realized) toxic environment was why i couldnt lose weight. I do have to be careful however because now i dont have food effectivly on a timer and if i dont pay attention i will just not eat for days which is extra bad because i have reactive hypoglycemia. ( like diabetes but your pancreas is over enthusiastic about its job) so if i do anything strenuous whipe forgetting to eat it will trigger an episode and i can end up bed ridden for the rest of the day after triggering an episode
It sounds like it may be natural for your body to not want to eat for a few days. Please show compassion for yourself. Try to recognize you aren't eating and drink something appropriate to offset the condition. Maybe juices, I don't know. I know I can get dehydrated from coffee and get cramps from exertion, so now I drink hydration drinks, and I am reducing coffee. Your fasting may be a survival fight-or-flight response to external stress triggers. Please be nice to yourself.
SAME. Whenever I'm just home with family, I'll stress eat but also just happy eat with them together. Whenever I lived on my own, I'd lose weight. Now I'm still at home but I'm working a job so I'm managing to lose weight steadily again. 😊
When I did a 30 day water fast, I continued losing weight at a slow rate for 5 more months as my appetite was tiny... it is hard to gain weight when an apple is a full meal. I didn't start gaining weight again until Christmas, when I started eating squares, chocolates, etc.
@@heylittlelacey that’s a lot of sugar when you’re not eating much else isn’t it i typically avoid fruits altogether for this reason, though sometimes i’ll eat a banana every once in a while with the exception being avocados i love those
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.
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.

Now there are some people that have had special training in the regulation of the energy in their bodies such as some monks, but they don't feed off the sun, they get their energy from the Earth's electromagnetic field, but they've learned and trained with special meditation on how to do such a thing, and no amateur should attempt the types of fasting that monks do.
I'm old (60 plus) grew up in the country- sunlight and flowers in the spring/summer/fall, wonderful snow/rainfall in the off season. I remember running through the fields, hiking in the woods, swimming/canoeing in the river, and all those seasons, eating berries , leaves, nuts, and fish. Pretty sure I might have absorbed all the needed sunlight stuff, but SCIENCE tells me I might also need to actually have the ability to ingest necessary minerals/vitamins. Is this what people have come to think is what? I don't get it!
Wow I did not know I actually did a method of fasting by not eating for 16 hours of the day. Less by choice, more because I don't eat breakfast which in its self is equally bad I imagine.
Yeah I have to force myself to eat something before noon even if it's like literally a piece of bread or else my meds ruin my stomach. I also just can not eat right when I get up so I usually end up eating like a handful of peanuts or something around 11 am and then eat when I get home in the evenings on days I work.
Not eating breakfast can be good or bad depending on your lifestyle. For example, if you have a job that's very physical, eating breakfast is probably important to give you the energy you need for the first half of your day. If not though, I won't worry about it.
Technically, breakfast means to “break fast,” so your first meal after waking up is technically your breakfast. We associate breakfast with the morning because it’s assumed most people wake up and eat in the morning.
I have no idea what breathairianism is, but I’ve been eating less than 500 calories a day for the past 3 years. It’s not because of any real reason other than i gain weight if I eat more. Then in the last month I found out I had thyroid cancer. After surgery two weeks ago, I’ve lost 7 pounds. Too bad my doctor didn’t believe me in the beginning.
For me it was a chronically infected gallbladder combined with other conditions. Only time I could lose weight before it was removed was when I was running 10 miles a day, 4 times a week plus weight training. Then I got too sick too and they finally got it figured out. Sucks when doctors don’t listen, and they often don’t with weight.
Drinking smoothies is eating. It's just like someone who is on a pureed food diet because of stomach, digestive or intestinal issues. You can make a ribeye steak into a smoothie if you choose to do so. What a load of complete bull.
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.
lol i guess it could be both, if you're in a starvation state your blood pressure will drop and if you've got low blood pressure it's uh, hard to get hard...
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've been doing a majority liquid diet. My diet consists of ×2 mens multivitamin gummies, ×2 calcium gummies, equate meal replacement shakes (as often as desired about 3-4daily) and gatoraide (as often as desired about 5 daily). Breatharianism is just insane.
That's still low enough calories it sounds like that when you do start increasing your food you might want to talk to your doctor first! Unless those equates have a lot more calories than I'm thinking.
@@JessicaO490Z most definitely but at this point its about physical comfort and the constant carrying of caustic sludge in the gut was too uncomfortable, always having to make sure i knew where a bathroom was is gone. I am not a doctor or a nutritionist, but this diet is sustaining me, it felt like the natural solution as my eating habits continually changed, eventually landing where i am. I think not having to pass solid waste is worth the monotony of a generally bland diet. 190 calories per equate, 80 calories per gatoraide, 30 calories for the daily dose of calcium, 15 calories for the daily multivitamin. Im probably not consistent in my frequency of beverage consumption because i just grab one or the other whenever i get thirsty. I can still consume and pass solids but it is discomforting and makes me wonder why everyone still eats solid food.

A note for you Brew: diabetic ketoacidosis doesn't happen in healthy people who are fasting. It only happens if you have type 1 diabetes or very late stage type 2 diabetes.
many supplements contain oils and sugars as bulking or carrier agents. Something like fish oil is very calorie dense, I think its likely he was still getting a couple hundred or so calories a day through drinks and supplements
Yeah it's good that the doctors were supplementing him so he was not completely not eating. He was just eating extremely minimalistic. Nutritional yeast is a way that people survive starvation situations frequently in history. There's a lot more to foods than calories.
Back before I got sober I was a homeless drug addict and I survived off nothing but fentanyl cigarettes and Dr pepper for weeks at a time. When I finally sobered up I ate nonstop and eventually had to force myself not to eat as much as I was.
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!
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
The 16/8 fasting works sooo goood! I've been doing it for 3 years now with regular exercise (nothing special), I lost 20kg in the first 3 months(I went very hard on exercise the first 4 months) and haven't gained the weight back yet. 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!
whew. I too was stuck in a door, a train door, but only because I have ear/hearing problems and didn't hear the announcement that the doors were closed. I then felt it clamp me and had to push through. That is the kind of life this man wished he had instead, what a journey the starvation must have been
3:15 this is usually in catholic communities, many Christians don't do this kind of fasting (normally when specifically protestants fast, its one meal a week or biweekly, or sometimes even everyday)
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.

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.
Hey, good on you for not automatically assuming those events must be causally linked!
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.
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
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.
Notably a very sad case of refeeding syndrome that’s rarely talked about is during the liberation of the concentration camps in WW2 where American troops were handing medically starved prisoners biscuits or chocolate bars out of good faith and lead to upwards of thousands of Jewish deaths from quick and overconsumption of the given foods.
Wow.. One of the darkest things I have heard.
Yes, I read that those people rescued were sometimes fed on broth or meat extracts.
You will never beat his record, because Guinness banned any record like this
Probably has to do with the Buddhist Monk way of slowly fasting themselves to death to preserve their bodies... completely dehydrated. It was outlawed at a certain point .
"Sokushinbutsu (即身仏) are a type of Buddhist mummy. In Japan the term refers to the practice of Buddhist monks observing asceticism to the point of death and entering mummification while alive."

I'm in Thailand at the moment and whilst not common several monks over the years have literally mummified themselves and are objects of religious significance. This is actually more complicated a process than simply not eating.
I did the 8/16 fasting few years ago BUT of course my eating window was full of essential nutrients and good food and did some excersice. My body transformed completely. There is truth in the saying you are what you eat.
I feel like I do something similar naturally. Well, naturally now. I have Crohn’s and as a kid I’d get really sick in the middle of the night so the doctors recommended no snack after dinner and making sure I didn’t go to sleep too soon after eating. 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.
Imagine coming from a fast food job and having a healthcare team. Great work as usual Brew!

Agree!
Feels kinda random, but I remember a time where I went into refeeding after avoiding meals in order to get to work on time, I ended up recovering from that but refeeding is a seriously dangerous thing and make sure you avoid it, take care and the world is better with you in it!
I wish I had the will to do that, man. Nothing could distract me enough to not eat. Food touches upon your serotonin receptors, and I have little joy in life. I also can't see anything magically making me feel more joyful. I've also been on just about every antidepressant that there is.
buproprion... it's also very stimulating with effects similar to amphetamines... the doctors let me keep it if I maintain a healthy weight... it's the only thing that makes me be able to be happy... so I force food down 😶

Food can cause depression. Sugar can be bad, for example. Other foods can cause inflammation, which can be linked to some types of depression. Cut out junk food and eat more home cooked meals, if you're not already doing so.
I feel so sorry for you and I understand how you feel, I hope you're getting the help you need to get better. recovering from an ED is not easy at all but you have to find the motivation to start, it's about your physical and mental health and this disorder is going to destroy your life if you don't get out of it. once you find the motivation, it's going to be so hard but in the long run you'll realize it's going to be so worth it.

Edit: He's from Scotland apparently which had enacted national publically funded healthcare around 19 years earlier.
I mean it tells you its the UK in the first few minutes mate. Most modern countries allow working class people to access medical services, many have tax funded free-at-the-point-service healthcare and more have semi-subsidised paid healthcare that is affordable and guaranteed for serious issues. 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.

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 eventually went the weight loss surgery route. I've lost the weight and kept it off. Diets never worked.
Once I stopped eating & drinking because of depression. I almost died. Learned my lesson.
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.
I believe it's 4 teaspoons of salt per litre which matches the specific gravity of your blood or something. It goes right through you shortly afterwards.
I managed 40-day fast at 50 successfully with no complications, and an 8-day fast at 60 - the latter quitting over complications.
It's only meant to clear the person out, which only shows benefit after, but doing so causes depletion of some nutrients, which leads to flu-like symptoms. Continuing to eat junk food is literally like drinking poison while you take the antidote once in a while, so a lot of people just plain do it wrong then blame the method. Cannot take one part of a multi-step lifestyle change and expect that one tiny piece to work.
This was much longer than usual.
I had to get a snack. So it's Dr Brew now.
Well Doc your teaching me how much work you do it's appreciated.

Fasting has many health benefits. He must’ve been huge to be able to go a whole year without eating. 400+ pounds sounds about right. The body used his fat for fuel.
Tell me more 🧐
If I remember right he was like 450-500 pounds? But literally he just did what animals do for winter, minus the hibernation.
likely he was just very low calorie intake, supplements and beverages tend to contain quite a few kcals that aren't listed on the packaging - especially supplements like fish oil and sugar bulking agents used in tablets. Being British he was likely consuming tea and coffee with milk - albeit only a little milk is added, many working class Britons especially back then could be drinking more than 4 cups a day - more at work to take advantage of tea/smoke breaks between jobs.

29:38 the stomach bleeding caught my attention more, what caused that?
@spring7643 I guess an ulcer, they can perforate and bleed profusely. At the time there were not as many treatments other than removing a portion of the stomach.
@@momkatmaxI second that! Man was only drinking black coffee, tea and sparkling water while fasting, I'm sure that's not good for your stomach and he had pretty bad acid reflux that could have become gastritis and then an ulcer...
@webshark0 My Grandpa in the late 70's got a stomach bleed, and had surgery at age 86. He didn't recover. Now, there are treatments of courses of antibiotics and / or antacids that get you back in shape.
It's still really deadly actually. And if you're really old they often can't risk surgery or cauterization even. But it's easier to give blood products then it used to be (I'm not actually sure the year that it became a more common practice). 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 .
Fasting ketones will not lead to diabetic ketoacidosis in someone without diabetes. I'm glad you're listing risks but this episode felt a little fear-mongery (except the breatharians, those guys are short a marble or two)
I have always struggled with my weight, but when i finally got my own house i dropped over 50lbs in a year. Turns out eating on my families time instead of when I was hungry and probably stress from a (now realized) toxic environment was why i couldnt lose weight. I do have to be careful however because now i dont have food effectivly on a timer and if i dont pay attention i will just not eat for days which is extra bad because i have reactive hypoglycemia. ( like diabetes but your pancreas is over enthusiastic about its job) so if i do anything strenuous whipe forgetting to eat it will trigger an episode and i can end up bed ridden for the rest of the day after triggering an episode
It sounds like it may be natural for your body to not want to eat for a few days. Please show compassion for yourself. Try to recognize you aren't eating and drink something appropriate to offset the condition. Maybe juices, I don't know. I know I can get dehydrated from coffee and get cramps from exertion, so now I drink hydration drinks, and I am reducing coffee. Your fasting may be a survival fight-or-flight response to external stress triggers. Please be nice to yourself.
SAME. Whenever I'm just home with family, I'll stress eat but also just happy eat with them together. Whenever I lived on my own, I'd lose weight. Now I'm still at home but I'm working a job so I'm managing to lose weight steadily again. 😊
can't wait for this.
Life's too short not to enjoy food. Try and be healthy, exercise, but enjoy food, because it's one of life's greatest gifts.
When I did a 30 day water fast, I continued losing weight at a slow rate for 5 more months as my appetite was tiny... it is hard to gain weight when an apple is a full meal. I didn't start gaining weight again until Christmas, when I started eating squares, chocolates, etc.

a) tax it
b) ban it
Therefore I can safely state that it's not possible :-)
Re-feeding syndrome is the biggest thing I have heard about true fasting for extended periods of time.
feels so good to finally hear an accurate fact about islam and fasting in ramadan :0
Now let’s do communion and celiac disease.
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.
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.
Gee. I do most of my important reading in the bathroom…..😊
it should also been mentioned that kidney stones could form from fasting

I'm old (60 plus) grew up in the country- sunlight and flowers in the spring/summer/fall, wonderful snow/rainfall in the off season. I remember running through the fields, hiking in the woods, swimming/canoeing in the river, and all those seasons, eating berries , leaves, nuts, and fish.
Pretty sure I might have absorbed all the needed sunlight stuff, but SCIENCE tells me I might also need to actually have the ability to ingest necessary minerals/vitamins.
Is this what people have come to think is what? I don't get it!

I only eat when I'm actually hungry.

Wow I did not know I actually did a method of fasting by not eating for 16 hours of the day.
Less by choice, more because I don't eat breakfast which in its self is equally bad I imagine.
Yeah I have to force myself to eat something before noon even if it's like literally a piece of bread or else my meds ruin my stomach. I also just can not eat right when I get up so I usually end up eating like a handful of peanuts or something around 11 am and then eat when I get home in the evenings on days I work.
Not eating breakfast isn’t “bad”. If you’re not hungry it’s totally fine. We’ve been programmed to over eat anyways.
I do that too... it doesn't do anything for me. Its just my natural feeding cycle.
Not eating breakfast can be good or bad depending on your lifestyle. For example, if you have a job that's very physical, eating breakfast is probably important to give you the energy you need for the first half of your day.
If not though, I won't worry about it.
Technically, breakfast means to “break fast,” so your first meal after waking up is technically your breakfast. We associate breakfast with the morning because it’s assumed most people wake up and eat in the morning.
I have no idea what breathairianism is, but I’ve been eating less than 500 calories a day for the past 3 years. It’s not because of any real reason other than i gain weight if I eat more. Then in the last month I found out I had thyroid cancer. After surgery two weeks ago, I’ve lost 7 pounds. Too bad my doctor didn’t believe me in the beginning.

@@vaughnlcoleman , I’m still not used to eating normally. I don’t have the desire to actually eat like everyone else.

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
The 16/8 fasting works sooo goood! I've been doing it for 3 years now with regular exercise (nothing special), I lost 20kg in the first 3 months(I went very hard on exercise the first 4 months) and haven't gained the weight back yet.
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 eat during the 8 hours I'm awake and fast the 16 hours I'm asleep.
3:15 this is usually in catholic communities, many Christians don't do this kind of fasting (normally when specifically protestants fast, its one meal a week or biweekly, or sometimes even everyday)
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.
