Dr. Boz, you have already been censored for years. I have been watching content like yours for years, yet you never came up as a suggested video. You are right, your channel is the tip of the spear when comes to real world knowledge and experience. You are THE ONLY Dr. testing ketones with a meter. You are using a continuous glucose monitor, you are going over your weekly fasts showing your CGM results!!! Data, data, data!!! You are fantastic!!! You were made for this!!! For as long as you have done this and the amount of useful information here, you should be at least 1 million subscribers. It is all the data you provide that makes your channel the best. I am being completely honest!!! I have been carnivorous, since thanksgiving day of 2021, I also was carnivorous from Christmas Day 2019 until March of 2020. The pandemic caused some chaos for my diet. If I only eat ruminate meat with salt and water every is perfect. As soon as I deviate problems start.
My first water fast was three weeks long. I devoted the 21 days to prayer and reading the Word. I made my own electrolytes, and upped salt and magnesium. I felt amazing the whole fast! But I did lose muscle. That is the only reason I haven’t done another extended fast. My Dr. doesn’t support extended fasting without supervision for the reasons you mention here. I also cooked a ton of food for my family during the fast due to increased creativity and motivation. Now I do shorter fasts and for some reason they are harder to do. Thank you Dr Boz, for covering this important topic!
Agreed with some muscle loss on the long fasts, especially 10+ days. Although I noticed it is much less so with dry fasting where electrolytes aren't needed. Dry fasting has zero hunger after 24 hours, although with water fasting the hunger during meal times can be pretty intense during the first 3 days, after which it subsides tremendously or even disappears. 3 days fasts are definitely tougher than a week or longer, but I can definitely see benefit from them as there really isn't any muscle loss, and in fact they may help as HGH levels peak during the 3rd day. I think a heavy weight workout around the 65-68th hour, followed by a nice large steak around hour 70-72 is awesome for the body as it doesn't build up lactic acid that causes the pain and fatigue after a heavy workout. In fact, doing a lion diet (ruminant meat, salt, and water only) on the non-fasting days helps the body get the most out of your workouts. There is never any need for fruits and vegetables in the human diet as they can be pro-inflammatory and are loaded with oxalates. With a 3 day water fast, there really isn't any need to worry about gradual refeeding. Longer fasts....yes.
Fasted for 25 days, no food or juice, no electrolytes, no NOTHING except water, leg ulcers-gone, fasting blood sugar from 180, down to 70, blood pressure 210/125 down to 125/80, edema---gone, deep vein thrombosis ---90% gone, went from 400 lbs down to 330lbs; messed up the refeed, had to go to emergency room and stay for 24 hours--my fault, i was stupid, ate way too much, got refeeding syndrome, was in so much pain----they had to put me on potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, etc. My sodium was fine though. Had to listen to dingbat doctors tell me how dangerous fasting is, blah blah blah, but I ignored them all. I wouldn't argue with them because I was thankful for what they did for me with the replenishment of electrolytes and TRAMADOL (great drug, glad it's not legal). Did keto OMAD for a while, got down to 315, now I'm fasting again (real fasting, not "intermittent"), been a week so far, going for 40. Long term fasting is just great man. It heals you, BUT....refeed CORRECTLY, so important.
@@elizabethporter6398 No, I am not taking electrolytes. I believe in the fasting protocol by Dr. Alan Goldhamer and Loren Lockman. Even though they are vegan and I am keto, their reason for not taking electrolytes during fasting appeals to me. Having said that, I do keep Redmond real salt and electrolyte powder from Dr. Berg in case something goes really wrong. It never did on the 25 day fast. Dr. Jason Fung has a great video on refeeding, as does Dr. Berg, and Dr. Boz probably does too. When I refeed this time, I will start off with some chicken bone broth taken slowly over 2 days, maybe an avocado on the 2nd day, maybe a hard boiled egg if things are going well. RUclips "dr. fung refeeding" or "Dr. Berg refeeding." Do not take refeeding lightly if you're going to do a long term fast. When I refed last time (after 25 days), I consumed 1/2 pound of baconm 8 ounces of sausage, and 4 hard boiled eggs------disaster. Edit: ---I also recommend watching "How to Avoid an Electrolyte Imbalance During Fasting" by Loren Lockman.
What about muscles did you lose muscle mass? Did you have a before and after composition? I do drink electrolytes its the pure mineral 40000 volts concentrate. Maybe its True minerals the bottle isvin the kitchen atm. I like my sparkling water but its not Perrier nothing fancy i know plastic bottlls areva nono but I can't afford the good stuff everyday. Mineral agua is pretty affordable but I do have an old soda stream machine that hasn't been used since the bottle ran out years ago. Needvto digboutvof storage to save from buying plastic bottles of sparkling water. I prefer it plain water or even lemon eater is good its the taste and textures and fixz that btraks the monotony and covers the saltiness and kinda curbs the appetite when a little hungry. Anyway thanks for sharing your story!
I was going for a longer extended fast but was wondering if I should break from that and do shorter fasts my NP recommend 28 dsy detox/fast well first he recommend a strict clean keto type diet with the detox supplements but since I have to stock up on clean foods I asked about an extended gast he said it was good with him so here I am now somewhere between day 12 to 14 on my detox cause missed some faus on my supplements and about day 11 or 12 on my water fast am doing pretty good so far. It can be a struggle at times but I know what the benefits are for me I have been doing a lot of reading and watching youtubers so of course some is conflicting but I try to figure it out best I can. Naysayers are abundant including in my own house. Also the struggles with symptoms I know is just junk trying to clear from our system. I am trying to watch my numbers too But I have many reasons not just weight loss (at 249 was 270ish in 2020 just Got interested in fasting recently was 269 in July) and health I have a thermography rescan my NP doctor wants me to detox to see if any issues have cleared since my last scan in 2021. Other reasons I have added are spiritual, and emotional because when you work deep on fasting emotions are stronger and they say tramas and past stiff gets cleared out how Idk. But I have already had some emotional moments. Other reasons are well being ,etc whatever reasons there are to fast I am trying to work on all of them. I have watch many videos on refeeding and how to break fasts but many different opinions from different drs on youtube there is dr Berg of course dr. Boz can't remember if Dr Berry even has anything on fasting. But I watch different variations of keto like Paleo, Carnivore and Keto and Ketovore have yet to watch any ketotarians but I love veggies so I may lookinto that as well. I woll probably do a variation of the different ones or a mix. I do lovr Dr. Bozs suggestions of foods to eat and break gasts etc.
Dr Boz I ent reduce fasting to my 15 year old and she ends with anorexia. Thanks God he helped her now she is 17 and doing well . I still fast but not more than 20 hr .
Dr Boz: I have only viewed about 5 of your videos, but I am really motivated by your energy, commitment to people in this domain of life, knowledge of the medicine, & example sharing your own life experience to guide us through our hurtles. I'm working to establish a support group for Type II diabetics at my senior living community to use your approach for others in this space, but I'm uncertain if I have the energy you do to lead it. Thank you for being my example. Please continue leading your effort. Respectfully, Jim Eastep, MT (ASCP), DVM, (Diplomate Vet Path, ACVP) retired & 72 yo.
Maybe working with a partner who shares your same interests and knowledge. I feel the same way but I really want to help others who really want to lose weight and improve their health. Maybe a team of people would be better. Dr Boz has a team of people helping her with the technology. 😊
Off topic but I just finished your book "Any Way I Can". Absolutely life changing. Usually I read a health book a chapter here and there. This I binged read this weekend. Wonderful and moving I have done Keto for some time off and on with low carb. Have planned changes and am adding fasting. Thanks for so much inspiration.
Dr. Boz I love your videos. I have lost 24 pounds so far. I use a CGM and journal all food and drink, and exercise. I finally produced ketones. I finally got my glucose to come down. Still need to get BG lower than 88. I am working on the first chapter of your workbook with my reason why. It's not easy. Gonna get my tribe together too.
I fasted for 40 hours and my ketones went up but my glucose went down...A week later I did 24 hours and my keytones went down to 0.3 and my glucose was 95...I also do intermittent fasting and mostly keto ..I do it as cancer survivor but it's frustrating..last night I ate some butter lol..see if that helps..
another awesome video once again, Dr Boz. Love your videos and helping your website out as much as I can. Thank you for who you are. You are a ROCK STAR to many :) :)
When I was fasting (went from about 320 to about 170 today) for extended periods, typically I would feel so GOOD after about seventy hours or so, I'd often extend to a 100 or 140 hours. I suspect your husband felt so good that he too wanted to extend his fast. Because of my heart medications, I no longer do extended fasts.
I’m on one heart med myself . So I also won’t fast long as I found that being carnivore made me feel more sensitive to meds which enabled me to get off of several ❤
This is great, thank you for reminding me about fasting each week. I didn't do it for the last 5 weeks and I needed to be reminded that this really helps especially me.
Do you have a list of keto foods for rating and for breaking fasts and what we can and can't do during fasting. I am now convinced I need to get off the extended fast/detox but I need to know foods I need for breaking the fast and stay in ketosis/autophagy and what exercise we can do to make it more successful for weight loss and our health and getting healthier along the way.
Right now I'm trying to clear my body of a bad histamine reaction caused by wine. Seems to be only wine sulfites that I'm allergic to. I was just about to go on a Sardine fast when I realized canned fish like Sardines are high histamine, so I'll have to wait a while to clear my system. Just sharing in case others out there have similar allergy concerns.
Male age 59, trying to lose 70 lbs, my question is: can I eat sardines with pickles every day as one of my meals? That's along with eggs, cheese, sauerkraut, beats, ground beef, cottage cheese with frozen blueberries & strawberries & of course coffee with cream.
Started my fast yesterday. I had a mastectomy four weeks ago. I talked my doctor into giving me a PET scan before chemo and radiation ,which she was reluctant to do but agreed. Now there are tumors on my liver that I need to get biopsied. I don’t know if I should do the biopsy because that might open up a can of worms like it did when I got my breast biopsied. I ended up with four more small tumors right after the biopsy. Also I don’t know if I should just continue fasting for the month and then go keto and see if the tumors in my liver can heal on their own? Any one have any advice?
@LB-sw2km, yes, keep up with the water fasting! It takes glucose to feed cancer. With fasting, your glucose drops very low which starves and eventually helps kills the cancer. I think the 3 day fast every week, followed by OMAD the other 4 days using the LION diet is ideal for killing cancer. You should definitely fast at least 2 days prior to chemo plus a day or two after the treatment to maximize the chemo effects and also protect the healthy cells and your immune system....which chemo would also normally attack when you're not in ketosis. I've heard that the pre and post fasting during chemo treatments also minimizes or eliminates the sickness that goes along with it.
I was dating two weeks ago and ended up in the ER, then the hospital for 3 days. Low magnesium and low potassium. My A1C had dropped from 9.9 to 5.6 in three months and I had lost over 50 lbs. My magnesium was 0.9, but I was not dehydrated. My doctor wasn’t upset and wants me to continue, but I do talk a magnesium supplement and he suggested drinking an extra keto protein shake with supper. I gained 12 lbs in the hospital…all water weight, but now I am struggling getting the weight back down and the fasting glucose down.
I want to control my blood sugar, but dont want to lose muscle and weight. Appreciate your help. Does 16/8 hrs daily works and fasting 24 hrs once a week?
Does anyone do these fasts on medication ? I’ve done 48 hour fasts on meds and did ok ✅ 24 hour fasts are my favorite … but my body will eat muscle and store fat . Oddly enough if I add carbs I’ll burn fat and increase muscle mass . Carbs are fruits and greens and raw milk . I need to do deeper diving and keep on my ketone and glucose levels . I’m using Cronometer and also weighing once a week . I eat the cleanest diet but it doesn’t seem to matter , my body will only burn fat and hold muscle on carbs .
I probably don't get autophagy with my intermittent fasting because I'll have some MCT oil and cream in my coffee. My weight has plateaued for over 3 months. I just started doing a 40 - 48 hour fast once a week. About a month ago I did a 10 day fast, re-feeding went well. I lost 15 lbs but have regained half of that. I have been weightlifting so a small portion may be added muscle.
Since your are weightlifting, I really encourage you to get a dexa scan so you know what your real numbers are, my scale weight didn't change but I gained 40 lbs of muscle in pt. For the autophagy, some really great studies showing 17 hours, so with your coffee if you really need the cream and mct oil now, just count it as part of your eating window and use a 6 hour eating window and you will get some of the autophagy benefits.
So I agree with getting a Dexa scan but I have searched my town, no one lets a consumer buy that svc and can’t get anyone to write a script for one! Any suggestions of places to travel to to get one done!
@@K8flan007 I would google dexa scan close to you. I paid out of pocket for mine- 120 and that included metabolic tests- usually out of pocket can get them for $80 to $120. many of the health conventions will have the portable scan units too in a van and give discounts for them. You can get a continuous glucose monitor script from dr boz or do levels - levels gives coaching on how to maximize benefit from it Dr boz just gives the script- she doesn't take you on as a patient
I haven’t heard of a doctor who wouldn’t prescribe a dexa scan. Some insurance companies don’t want doctors to prescribe tests that they don’t feel is absolutely necessary. I’m an old lady who has the beginning of osteoporosis and arthritis. They encourage me to get the test.
I did a 3-week fast called the “master cleanse” many years ago. This consists of drinking water with maple syrup, lemon and cayenne pepper. It made my symptoms worse because of the high blood sugar, I think. Lol. That was wrong
Extended fasts should only be done after you’re body is properly fat adapted. Dr. Boz ketoContinuum and her videos/ cuourses explain this very clearly. Intermittent fasting .. is different than extended fasting. ✨
I am really surprised and sad at the seeming carelessness surrounding the powerful healing process of fasting. And why the title "When Fasting Goes Wrong." It's not fasting that goes wrong it's the people not knowing what the heck they are doing. Ending up in the hospital gives fasting a bad name. Yes, please do classes and teach the proper way to fast.
@@tigerspiritjourneyohhhh me too! I do.not trust this Boz character at all. I actually unubbed ages ago but this popped up. She's probably in bed with Big Harma. Dr. Pelz is a doll : I love her positive energy and fantastic information!
I've done several long fasts.. My last 2 were 24 days... Drank exclusively topo chico mineral water.. For some strange reason.. My first 24 day fast My ankle blew up like I jumped off a roof on my right foot... Felt like gout But it wasn't... My last 24 day.. My toe felt like I broke it.. Turned dark brown and was inflamed... Anyone have any idea why that would happen?
It sounds like you had some old injuries in those areas that you may not have even known about that the fasting was resolving. Often, longer fasts bring those issues to the surface and fix them. This is especially true with dry fasting 5+ days.
@@davewidhalm4380 I have never injured any of my toes.. I'm sure I've sprained my ankles when I was a kid... But that's it.. But even if that's the case.. What causes the horrible pain and inflammation
Shouldn't the human body be able to go longer than 3-7 days without food. Perhaps we're meant to nibble on scraps in between larger meals like "caveman" in between hunting their meals...
You can, but your body can become too stressed and there are diminishing returns for most people after 72 hours. Also doing long fasts too often can mess up your hormones. A 72 hours fast shouldn't be done for more than twice a month
I reckon there are times when being a wimp works in my favor! If I am fasting, and start to feel awful, I am going to get some salt and potassium loaded broth going, and if I don’t feel better I am going to the ER.
I went low carb and Whole Foods 6 weeks then fast 1x/ wk 36 hrs lost 40lbs in 6 months and my BP came down significantly so I cut bp med in half and I told my primary DR all this but no one advised or warned of low BP or bp meds and I got a stroke. Hospital ER Neurologist says ur doing all the right things but ur BP went too low too quickly. Says Stop ur BP meds. So much for under a doctors care. Be careful DR or no DR. my lower bp # was touching 60 or even 57 just b4 the stroke. Neurologist said as long as ur lower is under 85 stay off bp meds continue exercise and reduced carb whole food diet. Let bp come down naturally. 10 months later bp is 124/75 no bp meds. And im getting close to full recovery…I hope…still stutter a little sometimes and mental stamina still needs to improve b4 i will feel fully recovered. Research diligently whatever ur doing cuz DRs suck. They see u 10 minutes 2 x a year. Labs 2x. They have no clue what’s going on in between But sure act like they do.
I am on 2 blood anticoagulant drugs because of CAD. Would I have bleeding problems if I started using a glucose/ketone monitor (using the blood sampling lancet)?
There is a monitor that you breath into for ketones instead of the blood you could use once you get going but in the beginning urine strips are usually enough. DR Boz has a great little starter book that she goes through on foods to eat and stages, she goes over the entire book on her channel on a video. For your glucose, talk to your doctor, you make be able to get a continous glucose monitor but check with your doc about the safety of either. Dr boz also has tests you can order for your A1C that are cheaper than the traditional ones and will give you a more accurate overall picture of your blood glucose- the tests she has have two and she recommends testing once a month until you get your A1C in range.
I think dry fast should not be more than 24 hours. Tops is probably 14 to 16hrs, then you have to break the fast and replenish with water during eating window. Then repeat the same next day.
I did a 62 hour dry fast.. Had to stop because I couldn't get the nasty taste out of my mouth.. I brushed.. I scraped my tongue.. I mouthwashed.. I tried all I could think of... It was gross... But I felt fine..
I do 2, 3 an 5 days DF at intervals. I feel renewed afterwards. Only problem is urine turns dark yellow. I'm not saying anyone should do it... or it's safe. Just stating my experience.
Please make it "when fasting is done wrong". Your clickbait title suggests that it can go wrong on its own. Major downvote for that phrasing. Very unlike you.
72 HR FAST flips so many "switches" in our bodies for healing & autophagy! My best practices being insulin resistant has been to use all days electrolytes and Day 1 Bulletproof Brain Octane MCT oil to help my ketones beget ketones and Days 2-3, I am making my own ketones, feel GREAT and have hit gotten to 6.1 ketones on m own. I break my fast with bone broth and an avocado, wait 30 mins, if no digestive issues, I'll eat some steamed broccoli, wait other thirty mins, if still no digestive issues, then I will have a small amount of protein. Now I'm working on incorporating a 72 hr fast weekly. I'm excited to see how my journey goes! Thank you Dr. Boz - you are a lifesaver!!!
The high fiber from avocado coupled with the lighter fiber from broccoli can be troublesome for the gut after a fast and cause diarrhea. You're better off cycling to some hamburger meat after the bone broth. Much more stable and will keep you in ketosis.
What I love about Dr Boz and so many others is that they teach us to be our own advocates. I have found what works for me through safe trial & error, honestly no different than if I was visiting a doctor 1:1. I have educated myself and listen to knowledge being shared. What I have realized is that so many physicians of late have the education to write a script but unfortunately not the education to help me heal. Some times we need scripts to be a bridge to healing. I don’t need band aid applications or meds that do not promote healing. Our bodies can heal with the right “keys”, I’ve seen it with other people and I have personally experienced it. The body is a powerful machine and me knowing how chemistry works and hormones is crucial to my healing journey.
@@johnfoster2584that's exactly what Dr Boz recommends in her book KetoContinuum. It's advanced level of the KetoContinuum. Important to work up to it by doing the earlier levels
Every time you fast you will burn muscles per attempt especially if you go longer than 3 days. I might be wise to sip on flaxseed oi. fish oill , salt and get your minerals and vitamins via spriuna or chlorella so you don't suffer. I have done a 3 week fast without food but made sure i got my electrolytes and I was no longer hungry after the first week of fasting. But make sure not to break your fast with solid food as its dangerous as your digestive system is sleeping. I lost 20kg in one month(Did a one month fasting under doctor support). 1kg = 2,2lb and if your body fat is around 20 percent or less you will be hungry since you have no body fat to burn while fasting. im no doctor and not advocating that you should fast without doctor supervision as it its dangerous so please consult your doctor before going on a fast as Im just sharing my experience. Again make sure to talk to your doctor before attempting a fast as its not suited for everyone. Im from JAPAN, stop eating junk food, fried foods, and sugar, soda.
17:05 not sure if he needs be doing keto but it looks like if he not diabetic than doing fasting will serve him justice with the amount of fat storage on him but still he would need to be under medical supervision for all safely reasons, If you have all that fat to burn fasting will i think likely burn it away but the fasting has to be longer than a month i think and medically supervised so he doesn't get hurt or die as fat store toxins and will make you feel sick as your body breaks it down. im no doctor and not advocating that you should fast without doctor supervision as it its dangerous so please consult your doctor before going on a fast as Im just sharing my experience. Again make sure to talk to your doctor before attempting a fast as its not suited for everyone
I have just decided to go off Ketogenic diet. It was an interesting ride. Lost lots of weight indeed and dropped the A1C from 5.7 to 5.3. So why I am going off of it? At the rate my cholesterol been rising it will soon hit 1000. LDL went from 130, 6 months later to 220 and 3 months after that to 350. Total cholesterol jumped from 200 to 350 to 500. Yea HDL went up from 40 to 60 to 75 and triglycerides from 220 to 59 to 50. No I won't go back to starchy crap and refined this and that or grains. I guess I will just have to cut back on meat big time to maybe once a week and simply stick with non starchy vegtables, some fruit and increase nut consumption because fruits and vegies hardly have any calories. What else can I do. I will check my blood in 3 months and see what it would look like.
If you drink coffee there is something in it that raises cholesterol, especially in a french press or similar. Drip coffee through a filter is a better choice. There are also certain foods that raise cholesterol. You can research them.
Saturated fat increases your cholesterol. If you switch to plant oil it will reduce . Not sure that's a good idea though. Sat fat is stable. It's not about calories
@@angelacross2216 Then maybe I will just stick to the diet. Why? Here is the list of improvement to my health. Actual experience, not related to reading some numbers. Heartburn disappeared Dry flakey skin gone No more itching Sensing things crawling on my skin or hair. No more. Eyes look more clear. Weight loss without sweating and hard work, from 210 to 165 lbs. Feeling of comfort inside my body at all times. Heart murmur, skipping heart beat. Sleep is much more restful if I am not disturbed by whatever it may be. Always some black heads somewhere on my face.. No more zits. I don’t get cuts easily. Stronger skin. A bump, ingrown hair on my leg for years just suddenly came off. At last poof. Overall blood pressure just dropped. Drop in blood sugar which to my view is quite a big deal. I would have never been able to drop the level if I had to rely on the damn doctor's advice or his cronies. No more dry nose which caused bleeding every so often. In fact, my nose is supple and soft. Not all dried out. My morning breath is not so annoying that I can’t wait to brush the sucker. I don’t feel bogged down.. Just a fresher energy. The air feels better and my mood is simply much lighter and better. I used to get light headed more often than I cared and that is gone. HDL-C went from 40 to 75 Triglycerides went from 225 to 50 A1C dropped from 5.7 to 5.3 So all the above and then one problem or is it? LDL-C went from 104 to 350. So what is wrong with this picture? In other words what is the exact actual problem here? No I mean , is there a problem? What problem?
I fasted numerous times for 24 and 36 and 40 hours, usually once a week or every other week. After a 48 hour fast, eating and then going to bed for the evening, I woke up and went about making some breakfast.... then I just felt like something was not right. Thought I was having a heart attack. Called 911. I did drink a lot of water and even had electrolytes during the night when I woke up. And in the morning again before eating. My BP was 65/37. Was it too much water I drank or too many electrolytes...is that possible (Dr Bergs Electrolytes)? They said my electrolytes were fine but I was dehydrated. Seems they did not know why this happened. My D-dimer was high but other tests showed nothing wrong. I am too afraid to fast even for more than 12 hours. I do not need to lose weight but I do it for autophagy. What are your thoughts? I am 62 and in very good health and shape. Thank you!
This did happen in March as well and my D-dimer was actually normal at 0.22. Just said I was dehydrated and electrolytes were low. In August it was 1.25 @@charlenewilliams219
My thoughts : why would anyone break his fast in the evening after 48hours : sleep is extra free fast. 911 = american? That is a very expensive call : I hope they gave you a good report on what was wrong with you. Too much water ? no. one does not have enough time for water to be dangerous drinking. Too much Electrolytes : it is very very common for people to have diarrhea from drinking electrolytes too quickly. But you would have experienced that instantly & have made the connection to your spiked-water. (btw : i don't believe in electrolytes : it scam) If they claimed you were dehydrated. but you think you couldn't have been. then check again your amounts of caffeine & water you really drink. I know I was surprised when I poured all my water out of a full bottle & it seemed to not even be half what I thought I was drinking. (I'm still convinced that with the fluids in vegetables I would have made it :)

My first water fast was three weeks long. I devoted the 21 days to prayer and reading the Word. I made my own electrolytes, and upped salt and magnesium. I felt amazing the whole fast! But I did lose muscle. That is the only reason I haven’t done another extended fast. My Dr. doesn’t support extended fasting without supervision for the reasons you mention here.

Agreed with some muscle loss on the long fasts, especially 10+ days. Although I noticed it is much less so with dry fasting where electrolytes aren't needed. Dry fasting has zero hunger after 24 hours, although with water fasting the hunger during meal times can be pretty intense during the first 3 days, after which it subsides tremendously or even disappears. 3 days fasts are definitely tougher than a week or longer, but I can definitely see benefit from them as there really isn't any muscle loss, and in fact they may help as HGH levels peak during the 3rd day. I think a heavy weight workout around the 65-68th hour, followed by a nice large steak around hour 70-72 is awesome for the body as it doesn't build up lactic acid that causes the pain and fatigue after a heavy workout. In fact, doing a lion diet (ruminant meat, salt, and water only) on the non-fasting days helps the body get the most out of your workouts. There is never any need for fruits and vegetables in the human diet as they can be pro-inflammatory and are loaded with oxalates. With a 3 day water fast, there really isn't any need to worry about gradual refeeding. Longer fasts....yes.
Thanks you! Interesting about the lion diet on non-fasting days. I am considering the lion diet now.
Fasted for 25 days, no food or juice, no electrolytes, no NOTHING except water, leg ulcers-gone, fasting blood sugar from 180, down to 70, blood pressure 210/125 down to 125/80, edema---gone, deep vein thrombosis ---90% gone, went from 400 lbs down to 330lbs; messed up the refeed, had to go to emergency room and stay for 24 hours--my fault, i was stupid, ate way too much, got refeeding syndrome, was in so much pain----they had to put me on potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, etc. My sodium was fine though. Had to listen to dingbat doctors tell me how dangerous fasting is, blah blah blah, but I ignored them all. I wouldn't argue with them because I was thankful for what they did for me with the replenishment of electrolytes and TRAMADOL (great drug, glad it's not legal). Did keto OMAD for a while, got down to 315, now I'm fasting again (real fasting, not "intermittent"), been a week so far, going for 40. Long term fasting is just great man. It heals you, BUT....refeed CORRECTLY, so important.
Going for 40 days? Will you take electrolytes this time?
Oh and what's correct refeeding please?
@@elizabethporter6398 No, I am not taking electrolytes. I believe in the fasting protocol by Dr. Alan Goldhamer and Loren Lockman. Even though they are vegan and I am keto, their reason for not taking electrolytes during fasting appeals to me. Having said that, I do keep Redmond real salt and electrolyte powder from Dr. Berg in case something goes really wrong. It never did on the 25 day fast. Dr. Jason Fung has a great video on refeeding, as does Dr. Berg, and Dr. Boz probably does too. When I refeed this time, I will start off with some chicken bone broth taken slowly over 2 days, maybe an avocado on the 2nd day, maybe a hard boiled egg if things are going well. RUclips "dr. fung refeeding" or "Dr. Berg refeeding." Do not take refeeding lightly if you're going to do a long term fast. When I refed last time (after 25 days), I consumed 1/2 pound of baconm 8 ounces of sausage, and 4 hard boiled eggs------disaster.
Edit: ---I also recommend watching "How to Avoid an Electrolyte Imbalance During Fasting" by Loren Lockman.
What about muscles did you lose muscle mass? Did you have a before and after composition? I do drink electrolytes its the pure mineral 40000 volts concentrate. Maybe its True minerals the bottle isvin the kitchen atm. I like my sparkling water but its not Perrier nothing fancy i know plastic bottlls areva nono but I can't afford the good stuff everyday. Mineral agua is pretty affordable but I do have an old soda stream machine that hasn't been used since the bottle ran out years ago. Needvto digboutvof storage to save from buying plastic bottles of sparkling water. I prefer it plain water or even lemon eater is good its the taste and textures and fixz that btraks the monotony and covers the saltiness and kinda curbs the appetite when a little hungry. Anyway thanks for sharing your story!
I was going for a longer extended fast but was wondering if I should break from that and do shorter fasts my NP recommend 28 dsy detox/fast well first he recommend a strict clean keto type diet with the detox supplements but since I have to stock up on clean foods I asked about an extended gast he said it was good with him so here I am now somewhere between day 12 to 14 on my detox cause missed some faus on my supplements and about day 11 or 12 on my water fast am doing pretty good so far. It can be a struggle at times but I know what the benefits are for me I have been doing a lot of reading and watching youtubers so of course some is conflicting but I try to figure it out best I can. Naysayers are abundant including in my own house. Also the struggles with symptoms I know is just junk trying to clear from our system. I am trying to watch my numbers too
But I have many reasons not just weight loss (at 249 was 270ish in 2020 just Got interested in fasting recently was 269 in July) and health I have a thermography rescan my NP doctor wants me to detox to see if any issues have cleared since my last scan in 2021. Other reasons I have added are spiritual, and emotional because when you work deep on fasting emotions are stronger and they say tramas and past stiff gets cleared out how Idk. But I have already had some emotional moments. Other reasons are well being ,etc whatever reasons there are to fast I am trying to work on all of them. I have watch many videos on refeeding and how to break fasts but many different opinions from different drs on youtube there is dr Berg of course dr. Boz can't remember if Dr Berry even has anything on fasting. But I watch different variations of keto like Paleo, Carnivore and Keto and Ketovore have yet to watch any ketotarians but I love veggies so I may lookinto that as well. I woll probably do a variation of the different ones or a mix. I do lovr Dr. Bozs suggestions of foods to eat and break gasts etc.
Dr Boz I ent reduce fasting to my 15 year old and she ends with anorexia. Thanks God he helped her now she is 17 and doing well .
I still fast but not more than 20 hr .
Dr Boz:
I have only viewed about 5 of your videos, but I am really motivated by your energy, commitment to people in this domain of life, knowledge of the medicine, & example sharing your own life experience to guide us through our hurtles.
I'm working to establish a support group for Type II diabetics at my senior living community to use your approach for others in this space, but I'm uncertain if I have the energy you do to lead it.
Thank you for being my example. Please continue leading your effort.
Respectfully, Jim Eastep, MT (ASCP), DVM, (Diplomate Vet Path, ACVP) retired & 72 yo.
Maybe working with a partner who shares your same interests and knowledge. I feel the same way but I really want to help others who really want to lose weight and improve their health. Maybe a team of people would be better. Dr Boz has a team of people helping her with the technology. 😊
Off topic but I just finished your book "Any Way I Can". Absolutely life changing. Usually I read a health book a chapter here and there. This I binged read
this weekend. Wonderful and moving I have done Keto for some time off and on with low carb. Have planned changes and am adding fasting. Thanks for so much inspiration.
What a joy and a blessing to see this! Thank you, Dr. Boz!
God bless Vicente! A wonderful inspiration. I was glad to see that in person. Thanks for giving my sis Tina the book Dr. Boz.
Dr. Boz I love your videos. I have lost 24 pounds so far. I use a CGM and journal all food and drink, and exercise. I finally produced ketones. I finally got my glucose to come down. Still need to get BG lower than 88. I am working on the first chapter of your workbook with my reason why. It's not easy. Gonna get my tribe together too.
Wow! They look awesome!💞 I love fasting but I have a hard time doing long fast! But I know I can. I just need to push through it!
I fasted for 40 hours and my ketones went up but my glucose went down...A week later I did 24 hours and my keytones went down to 0.3 and my glucose was 95...I also do intermittent fasting and mostly keto ..I do it as cancer survivor but it's frustrating..last night I ate some butter lol..see if that helps..
Thank you Dr. Boz! I will be more consistent with doing weekly 72 hour fasts.
Great show Dr Boz.
This is inspiring me to try the 8 consecutive weeks of fasting!
I'm doing keto and omad I am currently down 120 lbs. Still have 80 lbs to go
another awesome video once again, Dr Boz. Love your videos and helping your website out as much as I can. Thank you for who you are. You are a ROCK STAR to many :) :)
When I was fasting (went from about 320 to about 170 today) for extended periods, typically I would feel so GOOD after about seventy hours or so, I'd often extend to a 100 or 140 hours. I suspect your husband felt so good that he too wanted to extend his fast. Because of my heart medications, I no longer do extended fasts.
I’m on one heart med myself . So I also won’t fast long as I found that being carnivore made me feel more sensitive to meds which enabled me to get off of several ❤
This is great, thank you for reminding me about fasting each week. I didn't do it for the last 5 weeks and I needed to be reminded that this really helps especially me.
Do you have a list of keto foods for rating and for breaking fasts and what we can and can't do during fasting. I am now convinced I need to get off the extended fast/detox but I need to know foods I need for breaking the fast and stay in ketosis/autophagy and what exercise we can do to make it more successful for weight loss and our health and getting healthier along the way.
Right now I'm trying to clear my body of a bad histamine reaction caused by wine. Seems to be only wine sulfites that I'm allergic to. I was just about to go on a Sardine fast when I realized canned fish like Sardines are high histamine, so I'll have to wait a while to clear my system. Just sharing in case others out there have similar allergy concerns.

How low should blood pressure drop while fasting?
6:23 cst - finally in live from Houston.
Two questions:
- what time do you go live?
- is there a support group in or around Houston Texas?
Very interested in one in the woodlands area
I hope this isn’t a big change 😮 I don’t have a Twitter account and don’t plan to get one.
Hi Dr Boz. Do you so to Canada from your website?
Trazadone lowered my sodium levels, and caused memory issues. Do your research on 😢our meds.
I have not yet watched this new video, what does Trazadone have to do with fasting or lowering sodium levels please?
You may need to increase salts. My son takes Trazodone and his doctor recommended adding salt to his diet.
I thought you are supposed to ease in the break fast? Otherwise the sugar spike?
I want to start fasting with you in your challenge 🎉
Male age 59, trying to lose 70 lbs, my question is: can I eat sardines with pickles every day as one of my meals? That's along with eggs, cheese, sauerkraut, beats, ground beef, cottage cheese with frozen blueberries & strawberries & of course coffee with cream.
yes, you can, perfect diet. just eat fruits and cheese with moderation
see Dr Ken Berry's vids on Proper Human Diet and Ben Bickman's vids on insulin resistance. Get Dr Westman's Page 4 list for a very clean keto.
I would skip the beets and no low fat cottage cheese for sure.
Don’t skip the beets, they are excellent
That's lots of carbs.
Why not fast over 72 hr?
Started my fast yesterday. I had a mastectomy four weeks ago. I talked my doctor into giving me a PET scan before chemo and radiation ,which she was reluctant to do but agreed. Now there are tumors on my liver that I need to get biopsied. I don’t know if I should do the biopsy because that might open up a can of worms like it did when I got my breast biopsied. I ended up with four more small tumors right after the biopsy. Also I don’t know if I should just continue fasting for the month and then go keto and see if the tumors in my liver can heal on their own? Any one have any advice?
@LB-sw2km, yes, keep up with the water fasting! It takes glucose to feed cancer. With fasting, your glucose drops very low which starves and eventually helps kills the cancer. I think the 3 day fast every week, followed by OMAD the other 4 days using the LION diet is ideal for killing cancer. You should definitely fast at least 2 days prior to chemo plus a day or two after the treatment to maximize the chemo effects and also protect the healthy cells and your immune system....which chemo would also normally attack when you're not in ketosis. I've heard that the pre and post fasting during chemo treatments also minimizes or eliminates the sickness that goes along with it.
I was dating two weeks ago and ended up in the ER, then the hospital for 3 days. Low magnesium and low potassium. My A1C had dropped from 9.9 to 5.6 in three months and I had lost over 50 lbs. My magnesium was 0.9, but I was not dehydrated. My doctor wasn’t upset and wants me to continue, but I do talk a magnesium supplement and he suggested drinking an extra keto protein shake with supper. I gained 12 lbs in the hospital…all water weight, but now I am struggling getting the weight back down and the fasting glucose down.
I like the same weekly fast schedule but how to eat the rest of the week? Omad? 2 keto meals per day?
Should i transition to keto and then after a certain time frame begin to fast? Or should I just go keto and do IF then extended fasts?
Listen to your body
Thanks Dr. Boz. great vid. I learned more stuff. What it’s all about, eh?
I want to control my blood sugar, but dont want to lose muscle and weight. Appreciate your help. Does 16/8 hrs daily works and fasting 24 hrs once a week?
Listen to Gabriel Lyon and her mentor, Don Layton. Especially on amount of protein (120-150 g) and timing (early is better, but min 30-35 g 1st meal).
Great show!!
Is there a support group in South Florida? I'm in Miami. Thank you.
Does anyone do these fasts on medication ? I’ve done 48 hour fasts on meds and did ok ✅
24 hour fasts are my favorite … but my body will eat muscle and store fat . Oddly enough if I add carbs I’ll burn fat and increase muscle mass .
Carbs are fruits and greens and raw milk . I need to do deeper diving and keep on my ketone and glucose levels . I’m using Cronometer and also weighing once a week .
I eat the cleanest diet but it doesn’t seem to matter , my body will only burn fat and hold muscle on carbs .
I probably don't get autophagy with my intermittent fasting because I'll have some MCT oil and cream in my coffee. My weight has plateaued for over 3 months. I just started doing a 40 - 48 hour fast once a week. About a month ago I did a 10 day fast, re-feeding went well. I lost 15 lbs but have regained half of that. I have been weightlifting so a small portion may be added muscle.
Since your are weightlifting, I really encourage you to get a dexa scan so you know what your real numbers are, my scale weight didn't change but I gained 40 lbs of muscle in pt. For the autophagy, some really great studies showing 17 hours, so with your coffee if you really need the cream and mct oil now, just count it as part of your eating window and use a 6 hour eating window and you will get some of the autophagy benefits.
@@lornamerry3467 I got a ZozoFit but have only taken two scans so far. My scale also measures fat %
So I agree with getting a Dexa scan but I have searched my town, no one lets a consumer buy that svc and can’t get anyone to write a script for one! Any suggestions of places to travel to to get one done!
@@K8flan007 I would google dexa scan close to you. I paid out of pocket for mine- 120 and that included metabolic tests- usually out of pocket can get them for $80 to $120. many of the health conventions will have the portable scan units too in a van and give discounts for them. You can get a continuous glucose monitor script from dr boz or do levels - levels gives coaching on how to maximize benefit from it Dr boz just gives the script- she doesn't take you on as a patient
I haven’t heard of a doctor who wouldn’t prescribe a dexa scan. Some insurance companies don’t want doctors to prescribe tests that they don’t feel is absolutely necessary. I’m an old lady who has the beginning of osteoporosis and arthritis. They encourage me to get the test.
I did a 3-week fast called the “master cleanse” many years ago. This consists of drinking water with maple syrup, lemon and cayenne pepper. It made my symptoms worse because of the high blood sugar, I think. Lol. That was wrong
But why should a good thing like fasting go wrong instead of bringing healing?
Extended fasts should only be done after you’re body is properly fat adapted. Dr. Boz ketoContinuum and her videos/ cuourses explain this very clearly. Intermittent fasting .. is different than extended fasting. ✨
@isaackitone It shouldn’t, the folks in this video didn’t know the Dr Boz program when they fasted too long
I bought your bhb but they seemed to work a little but not much .but i still bought more lol
I am really surprised and sad at the seeming carelessness surrounding the powerful healing process of fasting. And why the title "When Fasting Goes Wrong." It's not fasting that goes wrong it's the people not knowing what the heck they are doing. Ending up in the hospital gives fasting a bad name.
Yes, please do classes and teach the proper way to fast.
That's why I follow Mindy Pelz and others...

Can you speak to fasting low carb or keto and sglt2 inhibitors?
I've done several long fasts.. My last 2 were 24 days... Drank exclusively topo chico mineral water.. For some strange reason.. My first 24 day fast
My ankle blew up like I jumped off a roof on my right foot... Felt like gout
But it wasn't... My last 24 day.. My toe felt like I broke it.. Turned dark brown and was inflamed...
Anyone have any idea why that would happen?
It sounds like you had some old injuries in those areas that you may not have even known about that the fasting was resolving. Often, longer fasts bring those issues to the surface and fix them. This is especially true with dry fasting 5+ days.
@@davewidhalm4380 I have never injured any of my toes.. I'm sure I've sprained my ankles when I was a kid... But that's it..
But even if that's the case.. What causes the horrible pain and inflammation
could it oxalate dumping?@@jorgecarrejo
@@jorgecarrejo it's called herxheimer reaction, which is actually a positive part of the body's healing process
Oxalate dumping?
Shouldn't the human body be able to go longer than 3-7 days without food. Perhaps we're meant to nibble on scraps in between larger meals like "caveman" in between hunting their meals...
You can, but your body can become too stressed and there are diminishing returns for most people after 72 hours. Also doing long fasts too often can mess up your hormones. A 72 hours fast shouldn't be done for more than twice a month
As a type 2 diabetic, at what point do I see an Endocrinologist (Specialist) or can my GP handle it all?
check out Dr Ken Berry's Proper Human Diet. do Clean Keto for a few weeks an then slowly go carnivore. you can reverse the T2.
I reckon there are times when being a wimp works in my favor! If I am fasting, and start to feel awful, I am going to get some salt and potassium loaded broth going, and if I don’t feel better I am going to the ER.
I went low carb and Whole Foods 6 weeks then fast 1x/ wk 36 hrs lost 40lbs in 6 months and my BP came down significantly so I cut bp med in half and I told my primary DR all this but no one advised or warned of low BP or bp meds and I got a stroke. Hospital ER Neurologist says ur doing all the right things but ur BP went too low too quickly. Says Stop ur BP meds. So much for under a doctors care. Be careful DR or no DR. my lower bp # was touching 60 or even 57 just b4 the stroke. Neurologist said as long as ur lower is under 85 stay off bp meds continue exercise and reduced carb whole food diet. Let bp come down naturally. 10 months later bp is 124/75 no bp meds. And im getting close to full recovery…I hope…still stutter a little sometimes and mental stamina still needs to improve b4 i will feel fully recovered. Research diligently whatever ur doing cuz DRs suck. They see u 10 minutes 2 x a year. Labs 2x. They have no clue what’s going on in between But sure act like they do.
I am on 2 blood anticoagulant drugs because of CAD. Would I have bleeding problems if I started using a glucose/ketone monitor (using the blood sampling lancet)?
There is a monitor that you breath into for ketones instead of the blood you could use once you get going but in the beginning urine strips are usually enough. DR Boz has a great little starter book that she goes through on foods to eat and stages, she goes over the entire book on her channel on a video. For your glucose, talk to your doctor, you make be able to get a continous glucose monitor but check with your doc about the safety of either. Dr boz also has tests you can order for your A1C that are cheaper than the traditional ones and will give you a more accurate overall picture of your blood glucose- the tests she has have two and she recommends testing once a month until you get your A1C in range.
I think dry fast should not be more than 24 hours. Tops is probably 14 to 16hrs, then you have to break the fast and replenish with water during eating window. Then repeat the same next day.
I did a 62 hour dry fast.. Had to stop because I couldn't get the nasty taste out of my mouth.. I brushed.. I scraped my tongue.. I mouthwashed.. I tried all I could think of... It was gross... But I felt fine..
I do 2, 3 an 5 days DF at intervals. I feel renewed afterwards. Only problem is urine turns dark yellow.
I'm not saying anyone should do it... or it's safe. Just stating my experience.
25:29 72 hour fast benefits ❤
You've lost some weight in the last few weeks. Your face looks marvelous.
Please make it "when fasting is done wrong". Your clickbait title suggests that it can go wrong on its own. Major downvote for that phrasing. Very unlike you.
I believe that the refeeding IS part of fasting. it is done as part of every fast.
I always get cramping. Help!?
@gohdundee you are low on magnesium, replace electrolytes, take magnesium, do magnesium floats
72 HR FAST flips so many "switches" in our bodies for healing & autophagy! My best practices being insulin resistant has been to use all days electrolytes and Day 1 Bulletproof Brain Octane MCT oil to help my ketones beget ketones and Days 2-3, I am making my own ketones, feel GREAT and have hit gotten to 6.1 ketones on m own. I break my fast with bone broth and an avocado, wait 30 mins, if no digestive issues, I'll eat some steamed broccoli, wait other thirty mins, if still no digestive issues, then I will have a small amount of protein. Now I'm working on incorporating a 72 hr fast weekly. I'm excited to see how my journey goes! Thank you Dr. Boz - you are a lifesaver!!!
The high fiber from avocado coupled with the lighter fiber from broccoli can be troublesome for the gut after a fast and cause diarrhea. You're better off cycling to some hamburger meat after the bone broth. Much more stable and will keep you in ketosis.
72 hours once a week is too much.
What I love about Dr Boz and so many others is that they teach us to be our own advocates. I have found what works for me through safe trial & error, honestly no different than if I was visiting a doctor 1:1. I have educated myself and listen to knowledge being shared. What I have realized is that so many physicians of late have the education to write a script but unfortunately not the education to help me heal. Some times we need scripts to be a bridge to healing. I don’t need band aid applications or meds that do not promote healing. Our bodies can heal with the right “keys”, I’ve seen it with other people and I have personally experienced it. The body is a powerful machine and me knowing how chemistry works and hormones is crucial to my healing journey.

@@mariejones7136did you check your pulse? Do you know your regular heart rate?
Be smart about it and try again! Fasting will get your health back on track
For many reasons like this, I keep something to eat in my purse. Just in case.
Every time you fast you will burn muscles per attempt especially if you go longer than 3 days. I might be wise to sip on flaxseed oi. fish oill , salt and get your minerals and vitamins via spriuna or chlorella so you don't suffer. I have done a 3 week fast without food but made sure i got my electrolytes and I was no longer hungry after the first week of fasting. But make sure not to break your fast with solid food as its dangerous as your digestive system is sleeping. I lost 20kg in one month(Did a one month fasting under doctor support). 1kg = 2,2lb and if your body fat is around 20 percent or less you will be hungry since you have no body fat to burn while fasting. im no doctor and not advocating that you should fast without doctor supervision as it its dangerous so please consult your doctor before going on a fast as Im just sharing my experience. Again make sure to talk to your doctor before attempting a fast as its not suited for everyone. Im from JAPAN, stop eating junk food, fried foods, and sugar, soda.
17:05 not sure if he needs be doing keto but it looks like if he not diabetic than doing fasting will serve him justice with the amount of fat storage on him but still he would need to be under medical supervision for all safely reasons, If you have all that fat to burn fasting will i think likely burn it away but the fasting has to be longer than a month i think and medically supervised so he doesn't get hurt or die as fat store toxins and will make you feel sick as your body breaks it down. im no doctor and not advocating that you should fast without doctor supervision as it its dangerous so please consult your doctor before going on a fast as Im just sharing my experience. Again make sure to talk to your doctor before attempting a fast as its not suited for everyone
Honestly, I’m surprised physicians’ biggest fear of patients fasting isn’t the loss of business.
I have just decided to go off Ketogenic diet. It was an interesting ride. Lost lots of weight indeed and dropped the A1C from 5.7 to 5.3.
So why I am going off of it?
At the rate my cholesterol been rising it will soon hit 1000. LDL went from 130, 6 months later to 220 and 3 months after that to 350.
Total cholesterol jumped from 200 to 350 to 500.
Yea HDL went up from 40 to 60 to 75 and triglycerides from 220 to 59 to 50.
No I won't go back to starchy crap and refined this and that or grains. I guess I will just have to cut back on meat big time to maybe once a week and simply stick with non starchy vegtables, some fruit and increase nut consumption because fruits and vegies hardly have any calories. What else can I do.
I will check my blood in 3 months and see what it would look like.
If you drink coffee there is something in it that raises cholesterol, especially in a french press or similar. Drip coffee through a filter is a better choice. There are also certain foods that raise cholesterol. You can research them.
It sounds like you are a Lean Mass Hyper Responder. Your cholesterol levels may not be a bad thing. Research Dave Feldman and LMHR.
Saturated fat increases your cholesterol. If you switch to plant oil it will reduce . Not sure that's a good idea though. Sat fat is stable. It's not about calories
Check out information on Lean Mass Hyper Responders. It’s a really interesting field of study.
@@angelacross2216 Then maybe I will just stick to the diet. Why?
Here is the list of improvement to my health. Actual experience, not related to reading some numbers.
Heartburn disappeared
Dry flakey skin gone
No more itching
Sensing things crawling on my skin or hair. No more.
Eyes look more clear.
Weight loss without sweating and hard work, from 210 to 165 lbs.
Feeling of comfort inside my body at all times.
Heart murmur, skipping heart beat.
Sleep is much more restful if I am not disturbed by whatever it may be.
Always some black heads somewhere on my face.. No more zits.
I don’t get cuts easily. Stronger skin.
A bump, ingrown hair on my leg for years just suddenly came off. At last poof.
Overall blood pressure just dropped.
Drop in blood sugar which to my view is quite a big deal. I would have never been able to drop the level if I had to rely on the damn doctor's advice or his cronies.
No more dry nose which caused bleeding every so often. In fact, my nose is supple and soft. Not all dried out.
My morning breath is not so annoying that I can’t wait to brush the sucker.
I don’t feel bogged down.. Just a fresher energy. The air feels better and my mood is simply much lighter and better.
I used to get light headed more often than I cared and that is gone.
HDL-C went from 40 to 75
Triglycerides went from 225 to 50
A1C dropped from 5.7 to 5.3
So all the above and then one problem or is it? LDL-C went from 104 to 350.
So what is wrong with this picture? In other words what is the exact actual problem here? No I mean , is there a problem? What problem?
I fasted numerous times for 24 and 36 and 40 hours, usually once a week or every other week. After a 48 hour fast, eating and then going to bed for the evening, I woke up and went about making some breakfast.... then I just felt like something was not right. Thought I was having a heart attack. Called 911. I did drink a lot of water and even had electrolytes during the night when I woke up. And in the morning again before eating. My BP was 65/37. Was it too much water I drank or too many electrolytes...is that possible (Dr Bergs Electrolytes)? They said my electrolytes were fine but I was dehydrated. Seems they did not know why this happened. My D-dimer was high but other tests showed nothing wrong. I am too afraid to fast even for more than 12 hours. I do not need to lose weight but I do it for autophagy. What are your thoughts? I am 62 and in very good health and shape. Thank you!

why would anyone break his fast in the evening after 48hours : sleep is extra free fast.
911 = american? That is a very expensive call : I hope they gave you a good report on what was wrong with you.
Too much water ? no. one does not have enough time for water to be dangerous drinking.
Too much Electrolytes : it is very very common for people to have diarrhea from drinking electrolytes too quickly. But you would have experienced that instantly & have made the connection to your spiked-water. (btw : i don't believe in electrolytes : it scam)
If they claimed you were dehydrated. but you think you couldn't have been. then check again your amounts of caffeine & water you really drink.
I know I was surprised when I poured all my water out of a full bottle & it seemed to not even be half what I thought I was drinking. (I'm still convinced that with the fluids in vegetables I would have made it :)
