Started a water fast 9 days ago without coming across your channel. First 3 days were difficult but pulled through by adding zero sugar electrolytes to my water. Day 10 tomorrow but after watching this video I will transform to your method. Thank you for explaining it so thoroughly and for basically giving us the blue print to success. If I can do a 10 day fast relatively easy I definitely can do this 4 day fast with the 3-4 hour window to eat on the fifth day. Rinse and repeat after that. Nine days ago I was at a WHOPPING 298 lbs but I weighed myself today and the scale said 288.7! That along with this video has inspired me to continue forward with an absolute solid plan. If you're starting your journey like me please know that everything FF is saying is the facts/ truth and we CAN DO THIS! Also know that motivation fades quickly so you'll definitely need discipline, will power, and dedication but we got this. My goal is 175lbs when I was in the best shape of my life so I'll check back in three months to see where I'm at. Thanks again Mr. FF!
Same I'm on day 4 and watching this I decided i will break it today and get back to it tomorrow. Started at 230 now at 222. Goal weight is 180 when I was on the best shape. Want to keep going longer but ppl are pressuring me to eat because there scared for my health lol
@@TheMillionDollarDropout good stuff bro. I went on a 7 day fast and lost around 17 pounds, gained some back, and I’ve definitely lost a bit of motivation despite knowing this is mostly healthy weight. I think I’m gonna try to swap to 4 day fasts but it’s so hard for me to get back on it.
Yep you can. I did 3 days and went from 249 to 238 but then I refed two days, a slightly above standard amount of calories (2,200 - 2,600) I’m a 5’7 male) and I went back up to 245. Now I just got done with my 2nd 3 day fast and I’m back down to 242.2. It works. As long as you’re consistent, I can imagine you losing whatever amount of fat you need to lose, pretty easily. In December 2022 until October 2023 I decided to go on a traditional weight loss plan because I thought I couldn’t do any fasting. I ate 2000 cal and I walked 12,000 steps every day to make sure I would burn around 500 cal. I did this so strictly for so many months on end every single day except Saturday and some Sundays really. My feet w would ache sometimes and my joints felt a little worn out sometimes. I was getting stronger/skinnier (did I mention I lifted weights 3 x a week!?) but the toll on my mind on my body was a lot more than it ever could’ve been, if I just fasted instead. I was keeping track of my calories using a scale that would convert the weight of food into calories just to make my life a little bit easier, but it was still a pain having to do that. I measured every every single item that entered my mouth unless it was like a single strawberry or blueberry. At least it gave me a basic idea of portion sizes what made sense but that’s it. In the end, after around nine months, total, I only went down from 265 to 225. The reason I gave up was because.1. I was exhausted. 2. The holidays were here and we all know how that is. 3. This may be the biggest reason. I ended up plateauing for around three maybe even four weeks straight at 223 - 225 despite the fact that my diet stayed the same the whole time and if anything, I walked a little bit more during that last week, because I was tired of being stuck at 225. What I recently found out in less than 10 minutes of a Dr. Jason Fung video, is that unlike a traditional weight loss plan with diet and exercise, fasting does not eventually crash your metabolism overtime. It’s not a starvation diet your body needs to adjust to despite the fact that you’re eating NOTHING lol. Fasting actually speeds up the metabolism because it’s trying to get you to have adrenaline and alertness so you can be on the lookout for your next meal. It’s evolution. Fasting is a very normal evolution based “trick” to get our bodies to maintain a level of healthfulness just like our saliva maintains our teeth’s level of healthfulness when we don’t eat and then becomes acid when we do eat. It’s a balancing act. And yeah, I heard that a traditional weight loss can lead to plateau eventually, but I said, surely, it can’t if I’m just THIS level of dedicated. Well, it did in the end and that sucked. Big-time. It killed so much motivation. From 265 to 225… It’s pretty amazing, but to take around nine months to get there and then to suddenly start getting stuck so badly at 225 even though my normal weight ranges around 140 - 160!? Hell no!! I had a ways to go. Now I just feel like I wasted time. I went back up from 2:25 to 250 since October of 2023 but never went up to 265 because I started to realize that I was about to completely yo-yo and I said hell no I can’t completely yo-yo lmao. I’d hate myself so much if I did. Anyway… We can do this if we just stick to it I know we can, so let’s just keep trying. I’m getting rid of this weight once and for all. There is no way that my body plateaus while it is literally not consuming anything. That would be insane if it did plateau imo. If I do hit a plateau, I very much doubt that it’ll be longer than a few days.
Currently at 14 days (water fast)… no hunger, great energy each morning, feeling very tired around 5pm (I wake up each day between 3:30 and 4am). Still able to walk, prepare meals for my family, and work. I am currently down 20lbs.
I found you yesterday,And I can say this is the best channel about fasting I have found, My weight now is 190 pounds, I am a 32 years.old woman and my goal is to get the weight that I had before my 2 pregnancys that was 135 pounds, I have a serious food adicction, but I am.here for.my old Diana, I want to.save the women that I was❤
I love that you understand the challenges of food addiction. It is not easy but your videos help me feel as if I am not alone. The only thing that works for me is extended fasting. I struggle with IF, OMAD and ADF. Thank you Jerome for your honesty.
Sleeping early is a great strategy while fasting. The body does so much work and repair while you are sleeping. Also… most of us already don’t sleep nearly enough. The couple of hours of more sleep really helps. And helps your mood the next day. I think it makes it easier to resist emotional eating because your body and mind aren’t tired.
I'm starting a fast today until the 31st and breaking on the 1st of the year. I am used to fasting, so I think I will be ok. Thank you for your tips. They definitely help a lot! I find it is beneficial to set goals for myself. My goal is to get into the low 130's by the end of December. By the end of January, I am aiming for the mid 120's.
So today is Christmas. My second day of my weeklong fast. I weighed 136.6. We will see what I am by the end of this fast. I am only 5'2" small framed female. Starting weight in September was 150.8. I only recently got serious about fasting again. Will update my progress here! ❤
Today is the 27th. My 4th day of fasting. I'm doing this!!!! I've been tempted to eat, but I am determined to see this through!! I am now 134.2. My lowest weight for the year so far! 130, here I come!!
So today 12/30, I am now 131.4. Breaking my fast after 6 days since I actually have reached my short term goal of low 130's by the end of the month! Edited to add that I am finally into some jeans that I couldn't even button or zipper for at least 2 years. Going to actually wear them today!!!!
Working back to back 72-96 hour fast 2 hour refeed was 270 now 240 working my way down to 190 thanks for the tips and insight my treat is sugar free Red Bull maybe once a day while work
God is so good, I cannot believe I haven't seen your channel before 😮 I am in awe 😳 every single thing you said is me, I just started fasting on Feb 29th 8pm. 61 hrs in no food. My husband's birthday is April 17th I want to look good for him and myself of course. I fasted 3 weeks before great results. But went crazy on re feed, low points in my life. But God. Anyway in my mind I'm like will I get out the 190's I got up to 225 at one point got to 195 and pass there and lost the momentum. I've been watching video after video and up you popped. I hide behind my clothes don't want to go out with friends and so on. I visited a friend out of town Saturday she looked at me and said I've never seen you so big 😢that was the trigger so I'm 61 hrs in this morning I weighed in the 26th at 215.8 this morning I'm at 209. I want to be 130. I'm going to follow along your channel until I get there. I'm going to try to fast through to April 1st, drinking water and lemon. Tea mix of Green tea lemons ashwanga, turmeric, peppermint, Sorrell, ginger cloves all in one sitting. My joints all over my body was killing me, not sleeping well, late to work and church all the time. Sweats craziness. My husband is slim and sexy. I'm a fat slob. But after watching you. I think I can do this By watching your videos to cheer me along. watched your videos this morning with my husband from 1am amazed all the things you talk about is me. Start this day finish this food then start and I told myself the food will always be there. And you made the very comment in one of your videos. I almost ate after I cooked dinner for my husband last night.😮talked my way out of it after looking at my fasting app😅 That was close. Went in my room bindged watch fasting videos till you showed up. You get it!!!! I got down to 160 once 6 miles 3-4 times a week. Couldn't hold on to it, emotional eater! That's a problem. Looking after elderly parents, work, sick husband home my number 1 cheer leader. Thank God for him, like you always telling me consistency and lifestyle changes 🙏 God bless you I will pray myself through and thank you for putting yourself out there your saving lives! Great testimonial. Will pray for you at church today 🙏. . Sorry for the Novel, I'm so moved. Port st lucie Florida is my hometown.
Its easier than you think. I'll admit, I did cheat to start though and by that I mean I took one pill of phentermine, an apetite supressant, in the AM the first two days of my prolonged fasting and the cravings never came. After that, the weight was falling off and the only struggle, which wasn't bad at all, was mental. I lost 10 lbs in 5 days and wasn't uncomfortable at all. Now I think I'm going to try a 60 day fast. I need to lose 70 lbs to hit my goal weight of 160. Prayer always helps too as your mind is said to get clearer as your body expels the residuals of the processed foods that you had been eating previously. We can get closer to God by focusing on Him instead of the chaotic things in life.
You are so cute! I am fasting 20hours a day and eating 4 hours window. Love you your channel! You are so inspiring! I am 5’7 and 200 pounds -I want to get to 140 lbs in 180 days. Keep making videos!
I truly admire your dedication. The thought of fasting these days gives me major anxiety. I don’t know why but I’ve been unable to do 24 hours much less 90 hours. Keep going. You’re amazing!!
Weak. Pathetic. Not a human being. Human being can do anything if wants to. I did 40 day and night water fast recently and doing 35 days now after 6 day refeed
Another great video!! I’m at 170lbs now doing adf. I haven’t lost any weight this week but I will keep at it. So happy you’re back. I’m considering only eating Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in January. We’ll see how it goes.
Hi, can you please share your starting weight with ADF? I'm thinking to try ADF again, previously i was yo yoing the same weight each fasting/refeed days. Trying to find motivation.
Interesting that you still gained on omad. What ive found is that extended fast helps me lose weight, and omad maintain. Only time i lose on omad is if I'm doing omad carnivore, but i don't gain weight on omad. Keep going! We're fasting with you!
Cooking for my family used to ease my hunger. I wouldn’t eat but it would satisfy my cravings somehow and help me stick to a long fast. Now that I’m alone it’s much harder. Listening to you I had a realization that maybe letting the subconscious know that there IS food available and your not gonna starve is part of the psychological effect of watching others eat ? Just a thought
Watching people eat, helps get me through fasts as well. I thought I was weird😂. I usually watch the videos when I would like to eat out if boredom or when I'm hungry.
I’m so happy to see you hitting your goals… I’m going to hit mine in 2024 as well. I love fasting and look forward to your videos and I always comment 😊👍🏽👍🏽
ME TOO!!!!! For some reason, I love watching mukbangs when I am fasting and never do once I am eating. I also found it a little strange before but still do it because it satiates me.
Yes. This SO resonates with me. I’ve done many fasts. Getting through the first day is usually the hardest part for me. I love the results I get with fasting, but keeping them is a challenge. It helps to tell myself that , whatever I’m craving will be available to me at the end of the fast. I think that’s the best thing about your fasts. Every time you break the fast you can have a “ reward” day. This, I think, turns out to be more satisfying than little, GUILTY , treats daily. Another thing that helps me, as well, is getting out of the house, essentially, getting away from the food temptation. People who don’t want to exercise can go to places they’ve thought about visiting , like museums or sightseeing areas; the library is a GREAT place to kill time. You can read magazines( I read food magazines..oddly, they don’t make me hungry; kind of calming, really), watch videos work or play on the computer. I think most of us know how fast the time gets away. Before you know it you’ve made it through the day… Day one down! Go to bed. Rise, empowered to make it through Day 2… Good luck to everyone , but you don’t need luck you have everything you need…🤷🏽♀️ Thank you “ Fasting Master” for your content and encouragement. Appreciate you!❤
This gers me excited I watched you during the precious weight loss and I too lost and gained it all back and just started fasting last month but binged and now I’m trying to get back on track … rolling fasts seems sustainable because it’s long enough but short ❤❤
Hi Jerome!!! You're sooo amazing!!! Thanks sooo much for sharing your fasting tips with us!!! I'm not mentally ready to do a prolonged fast right now, but soon I will. Right now, I'm doing OMAD (& sometimes 2MAD), & once I'm ready, I'll aim for 24-36 hours. Awesome job, my friend!!! LOOKING GOOD!!! Keep up the good work!!! 🥳💪💪💪👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY!!! 🥰❤️
Sardine fasting is how I can do extended fasting as a cycling woman. I get into deep ketosis without stressing my body and negatively affecting my hormones!
interesting. I'm a woman too and my period stopping is a concern of mine but I love extended fasts.. how much sardines do you put in during a fast? Or do you them eat intuitively? I actually love sardines!
@@JFM.2024 I eat them intuitively! Usually I start out eating 5-7 cans on the first day, but as my appetite drastically diminishes by the second day, I may have only 3, next day I can stomach about 2, then I'm down to 1 or none. But this all depends where I'm at in my cycle. If I'm in the third week I may need a lot more, but how many cans you have does not affect how deeply you can get into ketosis! Last week I did this and within three days my ketones were at 4.5 mmol!! I still have 18% cream in my coffee and milk on my tea, too.
@@Qwikree it's dope! I'm starting a sardine fast today because I feel like I can finally. My hormones shifted today, making it feel possible lol. Smooth sailing from here until day 10! Good luck, I hope you like it. Just remember that which day in your cycle that you start will make a world of difference how successfully you can adhere to it!
Well done for continuing. It takes courage to be vulnerable and say this happened, I learned from it and I'm moving forward. We are all on a journey anyway. It's not a sprint. For me praying and journaling helps me. Also weighing everyday keeps me on the straight and narrow. Im starting to see now that weighing every day is not a punishment, it's important information to see if what I'm doing works or doesn't work. I do follow some guidelines though. Like going to the bathroom first, weighing first thing in the morning and weighing at the same time everyday. The human body is an amazing spiritual machine. It knows what to do. Just need to allow it to do that. I enjoy fasting. For me it's my bottom line. Everything else falls into place as long as I carry on fasting everyday. I never thought I could fast. One has to build up the fasting muscle though. The most I've done is a 3 day fast. Was so proud of getting through that. The 2nd day in the afternoon seems to be the hardest. Like Dr Jason Fung says hunger decreases as you continue to fast. Do you think it's healthy for women to do rolling fasts? Also, is it harder for you to fast in cold weather with all the comfort foods around? I find that diet coldrinks on their own trigger me to want to eat carbs and sugar, it's been proved that the body sees it as a sweet taste and it spikes insulin, even though it's artificial sweetners, then I start getting hungry on my fast and want to eat. Sparkling water helps me a lot. It was a nice surprise to see your you tube video pop up again. I think you look thin now. I was smiling when you said you like to watch people eat. I do too. It's cathartic and a stress release for me. It doesn't make me hungry and doesn't make me eat more. Have a lovely and blessed day. Keep going. All will be well.
I'm new to ur channel, but absolutely love it & u already!!! I'm struggling so hard to get back to fasting & I'm beyond disappointed in myself. I used to fast no problem & now I can't even seem to get myself thru 24 hrs. 😭😭😭
On day 4 of my first extended fast ever. Ive been doing 16:8 for years just because that's how i happen to naturally eat. Day 1 wad easy, Day two around lunch and bed time was rough day 3 was a little rough felt tired and really hungry around bed but not bad and day 4 I plan on breaking it. I want to keep going though but ppl at work are pressuring me to stop because work is taking us out to lunch. I have been working out out as well and taking done salt in my water once a day
How are you able to refeed without the stomach upset? i usually have to break my fast very slow with broth then sourkrout an hour later...but proteins after a 96h hour fast is never good for me.
You get it!! I rarely see people similar to me. I eat for volume and can easily consume 5k calories within 2 hours. I know I'm not normal, so forms of fasting saves me. What makes it suck is that I burn a lot less than the average person, while eating WAY more than the average person. My maintenance calories are 1,700. 😩 I enjoyed this.
I didn't in 11 day fast too and I didn't have any problems no cramping or anything I did get hungry the first day after the third day it was fine I was able to go to 11 days and I should have kept going because I really didn't need to eat but we were going out with some friends and I I broke it when you break a fast you can't just eat anything it'll tear your stomach up you have to start with something like soup actually broth or fruit but anything with a lot of fat dressing on a salad will tear your stomach up do you have to eat Pure Food like carrots and fruit are broth on your first day eating
I'm currently trying to do OMAD and I'm struggling so badly. I have little kids and they're eating all day. I'm also a teacher and I'm around the kids at lunch time! So, I WANT food. The struggle is real! I have 100 lbs to lose. I have PCOS, I have I sulim resistance, high blood pressure, carpel tunnel, and knee/joint pain. All of that should get better with fasting...
Everything in your post is basically exactly me! I lost 60 pounds by slowly increasing the length of my fasts (slowly!), and now my health issues are nearly gone or completely gone! Including pcos, joint pain, etc. I literally would not believe this if someone told me. Just start 1 day at a time ❤️
Lots of ppl say if we have disordered eating fasting is a slippery slope? Do you agree? I didn’t but now I’m having a hard time with eating my feelings… I don’t know. Anyways thanks for your message
Such an Excellent Way to Live! The Feast is An Event, after such a time, and has Real Value. Especially to share such a moment with people, who matter. A Fine Example. Here's to Your Continued Success, Champion! Do Carry On, as You See Fit. To Command one's organism, in such a way, is a Sure Sign of Mastery. It's an Honor to have made Your Acquaintance.
Jerome...please.... could you just do a video on how you make up your electrolyte mix.... your own personal mixture! I've been following your journey and you've said a couple of times at least that you'd do a video on it.... Please Jerome.... just film it already! 😂 please!!!
I keep trying but the longest I have made it is 48 hours. I feel like a total failure. Everyone at work loves to eat lunches out and if I don't I feel like an outcast, so I break 😢
48 Hours is impressive! This is your own personal journey and you define it your own way. If you can only do 48 hours now that's fine. Eventually challenge yourself to do 2 extra hours a day. The small jumps will help your body adjust to longer fasts.
Maybe try a different brand? I think it’s better when you take them slowly throughout the day like sipping a drink rather than drinking it all at once/taking pills? I’ve never had this problem so these are just some thoughts… good luck!
@@jaetine9006thanks going to try different brands until I find one. Honestly it seems like any supplement brand of electrolytes does this for me…idk if I’m just sensitive to it.
I bought a super b complex. I take it as soon as I wake up. Throughout the day I drink snake juice that's diluted in non flavored sparkling water. I take magnesium and zinc a hour before I go to sleep. It has improved sleep big time. It has made fasting super easy.

Hi How are you doing?
Being real about the transition is so encouraging. Thank you
I appreciate that. And appreciate YOU for supporting!
I love that you understand the challenges of food addiction. It is not easy but your videos help me feel as if I am not alone. The only thing that works for me is extended fasting. I struggle with IF, OMAD and ADF. Thank you Jerome for your honesty.
Gonna start rolling 3 day fast next week. You're a real inspiration

God is so good, I cannot believe I haven't seen your channel before 😮 I am in awe 😳 every single thing you said is me, I just started fasting on Feb 29th 8pm. 61 hrs in no food. My husband's birthday is April 17th I want to look good for him and myself of course. I fasted 3 weeks before great results. But went crazy on re feed, low points in my life. But God. Anyway in my mind I'm like will I get out the 190's I got up to 225 at one point got to 195 and pass there and lost the momentum.
I've been watching video after video and up you popped. I hide behind my clothes don't want to go out with friends and so on. I visited a friend out of town Saturday she looked at me and said I've never seen you so big 😢that was the trigger so I'm 61 hrs in this morning I weighed in the 26th at 215.8 this morning I'm at 209. I want to be 130. I'm going to follow along your channel until I get there. I'm going to try to fast through to April 1st, drinking water and lemon. Tea mix of
Green tea lemons ashwanga, turmeric, peppermint, Sorrell, ginger cloves all in one sitting. My joints all over my body was killing me, not sleeping well, late to work and church all the time. Sweats craziness. My husband is slim and sexy. I'm a fat slob. But after watching you. I think I can do this
By watching your videos to cheer me along. watched your videos this morning with my husband from 1am amazed all the things you talk about is me. Start this day finish this food then start and I told myself the food will always be there. And you made the very comment in one of your videos. I almost ate after I cooked dinner for my husband last night.😮talked my way out of it after looking at my fasting app😅
That was close.
Went in my room bindged watch fasting videos till you showed up.
You get it!!!! I got down to 160 once
6 miles 3-4 times a week. Couldn't hold on to it, emotional eater!
That's a problem.
Looking after elderly parents, work, sick husband home my number 1 cheer leader. Thank God for him, like you always telling me consistency and lifestyle changes 🙏 God bless you
I will pray myself through and thank you for putting yourself out there your saving lives! Great testimonial.
Will pray for you at church today 🙏. . Sorry for the
Novel, I'm so moved. Port st lucie Florida is my hometown.
You can and will do this!
Its easier than you think. I'll admit, I did cheat to start though and by that I mean I took one pill of phentermine, an apetite supressant, in the AM the first two days of my prolonged fasting and the cravings never came. After that, the weight was falling off and the only struggle, which wasn't bad at all, was mental. I lost 10 lbs in 5 days and wasn't uncomfortable at all. Now I think I'm going to try a 60 day fast. I need to lose 70 lbs to hit my goal weight of 160.
Prayer always helps too as your mind is said to get clearer as your body expels the residuals of the processed foods that you had been eating previously. We can get closer to God by focusing on Him instead of the chaotic things in life.
Day one 248 pounds been here before I know this works I appreciate your video thanks I'll be doing a 7 day fast.
I keep thinking about how you are really helping people ❤.
Surgery? Medication? Nope, just straight facts and stats with Jerome!
You are so cute! I am fasting 20hours a day and eating 4 hours window. Love you your channel! You are so inspiring! I am 5’7 and 200 pounds -I want to get to 140 lbs in 180 days. Keep making videos!
I truly admire your dedication. The thought of fasting these days gives me major anxiety. I don’t know why but I’ve been unable to do 24 hours much less 90 hours. Keep going. You’re amazing!!
Weak. Pathetic. Not a human being. Human being can do anything if wants to. I did 40 day and night water fast recently and doing 35 days now after 6 day refeed
Another great video!! I’m at 170lbs now doing adf. I haven’t lost any weight this week but I will keep at it. So happy you’re back. I’m considering only eating Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in January. We’ll see how it goes.
Thank you! Keep us posted! Always happy to see you posting your journey!
Hi, can you please share your starting weight with ADF? I'm thinking to try ADF again, previously i was yo yoing the same weight each fasting/refeed days. Trying to find motivation.
Interesting that you still gained on omad. What ive found is that extended fast helps me lose weight, and omad maintain. Only time i lose on omad is if I'm doing omad carnivore, but i don't gain weight on omad. Keep going! We're fasting with you!
One hour left until I finish my first 60hr fast, and I’ve lost 2.4 kg since Saturday. You’re an inspiration, Jerome❤.
My fasting plan for December was only 30% successful but you inspire me over and over to keep going.
Cooking for my family used to ease my hunger. I wouldn’t eat but it would satisfy my cravings somehow and help me stick to a long fast. Now that I’m alone it’s much harder. Listening to you I had a realization that maybe letting the subconscious know that there IS food available and your not gonna starve is part of the psychological effect of watching others eat ? Just a thought
Watching people eat, helps get me through fasts as well. I thought I was weird😂. I usually watch the videos when I would like to eat out if boredom or when I'm hungry.
I’m so happy to see you hitting your goals… I’m going to hit mine in 2024 as well. I love fasting and look forward to your videos and I always comment 😊👍🏽👍🏽
ME TOO!!!!! For some reason, I love watching mukbangs when I am fasting and never do once I am eating. I also found it a little strange before but still do it because it satiates me.
You have such a sweet spirit. Thank you for sharing your story.
Great tips Jerome! You are half way home and its not even the new year!🎉
Yes. This SO resonates with me. I’ve done many fasts. Getting through the first day is usually the hardest part for me. I love the results I get with fasting, but keeping them is a challenge. It helps to tell myself that , whatever I’m craving will be available to me at the end of the fast. I think that’s the best thing about your fasts. Every time you break the fast you can have a “ reward” day. This, I think, turns out to be more satisfying than little, GUILTY , treats daily. Another thing that helps me, as well, is getting out of the house, essentially, getting away from the food temptation. People who don’t want to exercise can go to places they’ve thought about visiting , like museums or sightseeing areas; the library is a GREAT place to kill time. You can read magazines( I read food magazines..oddly, they don’t make me hungry; kind of calming, really), watch videos work or play on the computer. I think most of us know how fast the time gets away. Before you know it you’ve made it through the day… Day one down! Go to bed. Rise, empowered to make it through Day 2… Good luck to everyone , but you don’t need luck you have everything you need…🤷🏽♀️ Thank you “ Fasting Master” for your content and encouragement. Appreciate you!❤
Wow 😮 you are sooo small !!! You’ll hit your goal soon 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 proud of you buddy
This helped me alot. I followed your tips and lost 18 pounds thr first 11 days. I'm diabetic too. 238 to 220😊😊😊😊😊😊
So proud of you
Thank you!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
This gers me excited I watched you during the precious weight loss and I too lost and gained it all back and just started fasting last month but binged and now I’m trying to get back on track … rolling fasts seems sustainable because it’s long enough but short ❤❤
Hi Jerome!!! You're sooo amazing!!! Thanks sooo much for sharing your fasting tips with us!!! I'm not mentally ready to do a prolonged fast right now, but soon I will. Right now, I'm doing OMAD (& sometimes 2MAD), & once I'm ready, I'll aim for 24-36 hours.
Awesome job, my friend!!! LOOKING GOOD!!! Keep up the good work!!! 🥳💪💪💪👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY!!! 🥰❤️
It is a super treat to digest your videos. Love the refeed vids and really want you to know that you have inspired a whole community to fast.
Thanks!
Thank you, this was very helpful. I’m going to try the ice tip.
Thank you for the sobering pep talk. It’s hard to hear but also what I need to hear.
I understand you have had great success. I can’t get past the first wave of hunger pangs.
great update! fasting truly is such a gift
You r great! I very much relate to i. Started my 1st fast and I am on 72 hrs. Thanks! 😊
Sardine fasting is how I can do extended fasting as a cycling woman. I get into deep ketosis without stressing my body and negatively affecting my hormones!
interesting. I'm a woman too and my period stopping is a concern of mine but I love extended fasts.. how much sardines do you put in during a fast? Or do you them eat intuitively? I actually love sardines!
@@JFM.2024 I eat them intuitively! Usually I start out eating 5-7 cans on the first day, but as my appetite drastically diminishes by the second day, I may have only 3, next day I can stomach about 2, then I'm down to 1 or none. But this all depends where I'm at in my cycle. If I'm in the third week I may need a lot more, but how many cans you have does not affect how deeply you can get into ketosis! Last week I did this and within three days my ketones were at 4.5 mmol!! I still have 18% cream in my coffee and milk on my tea, too.
@@Qwikree it's dope! I'm starting a sardine fast today because I feel like I can finally. My hormones shifted today, making it feel possible lol. Smooth sailing from here until day 10! Good luck, I hope you like it. Just remember that which day in your cycle that you start will make a world of difference how successfully you can adhere to it!
Well done for continuing. It takes courage to be vulnerable and say this happened, I learned from it and I'm moving forward. We are all on a journey anyway. It's not a sprint. For me praying and journaling helps me. Also weighing everyday keeps me on the straight and narrow. Im starting to see now that weighing every day is not a punishment, it's important information to see if what I'm doing works or doesn't work. I do follow some guidelines though. Like going to the bathroom first, weighing first thing in the morning and weighing at the same time everyday. The human body is an amazing spiritual machine. It knows what to do. Just need to allow it to do that. I enjoy fasting. For me it's my bottom line. Everything else falls into place as long as I carry on fasting everyday. I never thought I could fast. One has to build up the fasting muscle though. The most I've done is a 3 day fast. Was so proud of getting through that. The 2nd day in the afternoon seems to be the hardest. Like Dr Jason Fung says hunger decreases as you continue to fast. Do you think it's healthy for women to do rolling fasts? Also, is it harder for you to fast in cold weather with all the comfort foods around? I find that diet coldrinks on their own trigger me to want to eat carbs and sugar, it's been proved that the body sees it as a sweet taste and it spikes insulin, even though it's artificial sweetners, then I start getting hungry on my fast and want to eat. Sparkling water helps me a lot. It was a nice surprise to see your you tube video pop up again. I think you look thin now. I was smiling when you said you like to watch people eat. I do too. It's cathartic and a stress release for me. It doesn't make me hungry and doesn't make me eat more. Have a lovely and blessed day. Keep going. All will be well.
I'm new to ur channel, but absolutely love it & u already!!! I'm struggling so hard to get back to fasting & I'm beyond disappointed in myself. I used to fast no problem & now I can't even seem to get myself thru 24 hrs. 😭😭😭
That was me😮
Wow, amazing progress. All credit to your hard work and dedication. Inspiring! 🎉
Big respect Jerome
Respect all around, fam!
Oh man! You’re making video again! I heard something bad happen and now I’m happy to see you doing vids again!
You sir, are just amazing! 🎉
Thank you 🙏🏽
On day 4 of my first extended fast ever. Ive been doing 16:8 for years just because that's how i happen to naturally eat. Day 1 wad easy, Day two around lunch and bed time was rough day 3 was a little rough felt tired and really hungry around bed but not bad and day 4 I plan on breaking it. I want to keep going though but ppl at work are pressuring me to stop because work is taking us out to lunch. I have been working out out as well and taking done salt in my water once a day
How are you able to refeed without the stomach upset? i usually have to break my fast very slow with broth then sourkrout an hour later...but proteins after a 96h hour fast is never good for me.
You get it!! I rarely see people similar to me. I eat for volume and can easily consume 5k calories within 2 hours. I know I'm not normal, so forms of fasting saves me.
What makes it suck is that I burn a lot less than the average person, while eating WAY more than the average person. My maintenance calories are 1,700. 😩
I enjoyed this.
Thank you for speaking on fasting and exercise!!
EXCITED TO BE ON THIS JOURNEY!
You inspire me so much! This is amazingly beneficial & educational thank you
I didn't in 11 day fast too and I didn't have any problems no cramping or anything I did get hungry the first day after the third day it was fine I was able to go to 11 days and I should have kept going because I really didn't need to eat but we were going out with some friends and I I broke it when you break a fast you can't just eat anything it'll tear your stomach up you have to start with something like soup actually broth or fruit but anything with a lot of fat dressing on a salad will tear your stomach up do you have to eat Pure Food like carrots and fruit are broth on your first day eating
Love this video!!! Fasting is the way to go. I just want to start back. I did it before and I know it works!
Started my fast right now ❤
Great Content !
Let's go Bulls !!
We're struggling, but forever supporting!
Thank you for this video I am trying to restart fasting and staying motivated your videos are helpful thank you
Thank you so much for your knowledge and honesty. You are a real inspiration to us all.
God Bless
Superb video! Thank you for the insight and advice
Proud of you. Not that it matters, but I am.
When I do weightlifting especially if I push hard then I’m ravenous afterwards. My exercise has to be more lightweight when I fast longer.
So Inspirational, Should I Feed 1st, then Start at the end of Feeding? I going to do 42 hours
Best advice! 4:06
I love your videos man. Do you have any videos where you detail what you eat during refeeding? Thanks!
I have a playlist called REFEED which is specifically what you’re asking about. 🙏🏽
I'm currently trying to do OMAD and I'm struggling so badly. I have little kids and they're eating all day.
I'm also a teacher and I'm around the kids at lunch time! So, I WANT food. The struggle is real!
I have 100 lbs to lose. I have PCOS, I have I sulim resistance, high blood pressure, carpel tunnel, and knee/joint pain. All of that should get better with fasting...
It does get easier, fasting is like a muscle and the more you train it the stronger you get at it. You can do this.
I feel your pain! It’s always harder with little ones. Your restraint game has to be even stronger!
Everything in your post is basically exactly me! I lost 60 pounds by slowly increasing the length of my fasts (slowly!), and now my health issues are nearly gone or completely gone! Including pcos, joint pain, etc. I literally would not believe this if someone told me. Just start 1 day at a time ❤️
Oh it will same here. 3 days in and my knee pain and joint pain is subsiding!
Lots of ppl say if we have disordered eating fasting is a slippery slope? Do you agree? I didn’t but now I’m having a hard time with eating my feelings… I don’t know. Anyways thanks for your message
The way I was able to do longer fasts was to eat zero carbs. I would have less desire to eat the next day
Very true. I swear what I once thought was hunger cues is actually just carb cravings.
Drinking electrolytes (sugar free) helps with extended fasts.
Happy Christmas brother!
I love these videos ! Thanks for the tips!
So proud of you. You are such An inspiration!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us ❤❤❤❤
Such an Excellent Way to Live!
The Feast is An Event, after such a time, and has Real Value.
Especially to share such a moment with people, who matter.
A Fine Example.
Here's to Your Continued Success, Champion!
Do Carry On, as You See Fit.
To Command one's organism, in such a way, is a Sure Sign of Mastery.
It's an Honor to have made Your Acquaintance.
Going to the gym means GROW, GROW, GROW! The best thing to do on a fast is to sleep. Sit on the sofa or bed for 16 hours then go to sleep. lol.
When you hit your goal weight how many hours will you continue to fast?
36-42. ADF essentially.
Very helpful information , Thank You !!! ❤😊 I also watch RUclips videos of people eating to get through a long fast , it really does help
Me too!
Do you find that you get very cold while fasting?
I do and I have-but I’m just cold now because I dropped 80+lbs
Jerome...please.... could you just do a video on how you make up your electrolyte mix.... your own personal mixture!
I've been following your journey and you've said a couple of times at least that you'd do a video on it....
Please Jerome.... just film it already! 😂 please!!!
My guy! I did this last Sunday on my livestream. 😊
@@FinallyFasting is it uploaded? What's the title?
I am fasting last one month..and lossing 8kg weight
I keep trying but the longest I have made it is 48 hours. I feel like a total failure. Everyone at work loves to eat lunches out and if I don't I feel like an outcast, so I break 😢
I know the feeling but 48 hours is so impressive and something to be proud of. Keep aiming for 48s until you get used to them!!!
48 Hours is impressive! This is your own personal journey and you define it your own way. If you can only do 48 hours now that's fine. Eventually challenge yourself to do 2 extra hours a day. The small jumps will help your body adjust to longer fasts.
Fast 1 = 36 Hours today.
my 1st fast too. 36 hours done
AMAZING!!!!!
EEE!!!
WOOOOWWWW…
Congratulations!
Thanks! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wow this is really interesting and motivating
do you drink fresh water or elecrolytes while fasting ? and how much ?
Man, I don’t know how you do it. I have a hard time doing 16-20 hours.
Do you just drink water on your fast
Great stuff 👏🏻 👍🏻
Hello Does chewing trident sugar free gum break fast ❓
Great Video ✊🏾
What happens when the electrolytes give you the headache? I always feel a headache come on every time I take electrolytes
Maybe try a different brand? I think it’s better when you take them slowly throughout the day like sipping a drink rather than drinking it all at once/taking pills? I’ve never had this problem so these are just some thoughts… good luck!
@@jaetine9006thanks going to try different brands until I find one. Honestly it seems like any supplement brand of electrolytes does this for me…idk if I’m just sensitive to it.
My re-feeds are high caloric as well.
How do you sleep? I can't sleep well when fasting.
I bought a super b complex. I take it as soon as I wake up. Throughout the day I drink snake juice that's diluted in non flavored sparkling water. I take magnesium and zinc a hour before I go to sleep. It has improved sleep big time. It has made fasting super easy.
Thank you, a very important video
Whats your longest Fast? 10? 21? 30 days?
So did you put back a bunch of weight on after your loss to 152 a few years back? If so, was it because you got away from fasting for too long?
can I have chicken or bone broth ????
How do we get access to your coaching?
Great video
After I saw this video I decided to begin a fast. 💪 I’ll be joining you guys in this! 🫶
Nice
