OMAD. This weekend I will fast two days. I feel good being slightly empty. I hope to visit you around your Autumn. Strange to realise that fasting is a very personal thing. You cannot discuss with others because you will be challenged. I have learned it is better to keep your fasting plans private and just get on with it.
OMAD around 4pm and eat around 1200 calories. Also I fast all day on Saturday. So only eat 6 meals a week. I only eat super dence enriched food. Since it's only one meal I make sure it's high quality, vitamin and mineral enriched. And I love it. I'm never hungry, cognitive improvement, so many benefits
Same , I have my ketogenic meals + salad delivered 5 days a week ( inexpensive where I live ). I also realised I can plan and make a really nice meal for the Saturday night.
Thank you for confirming that iF is safe and is highly beneficial to us... even the restriction of calories (healthy food vs counting calories). I would like to share this ... my personal find... menopause has reduced my metabolism. I am happy to say that when I IF (including reducing calorie and eat until satisfied) that my hot flashes are less. I also have reduced weight safely and am more active (5'6" 136lbs 57yo female). I want to thank you so much for providing exceptional awesome support. I so appreciate everything you have shared in the medical field. 👍
Thank you for this video. I was inspired by Valter Longo's fast-mimicking program, but decided for the real thing. I am very glad to hear confirmation from you, that there is no substitute for the real experience. Thank you !
Thank you so much for your great comment! Great to hear that you want to do long-term fasting but we recommend doing it, especially for the first time in a specialised clinic like ours. If you are interested in more information about the indications we treat, please visit our website: www.buchinger-wilhelmi.com/en/therapeutic-fasting-and-nutritional-strategies/#indikatoren We wish you all the best! 🍀
57yo male. What: (1) Long term fasts (8+ days, done 2 wks once) 3x/year the last 4 yrs. (2) Opportunistic intermittent fasting (16h fast maybe 2x/week) for the last maybe 10 yrs. Sometimes carb restriction, usually just before and a little while after long fasts, when it's easiest. For the rest of my life I'm a guiltless glutton :) Why: (1) to help trigger virtuous cycles. After a long time fast exercise is easier because of the temporary loss of weight, healthy diet is easier because everything tastes better, so I feel that the fast has a "positive shadow" of about 3 months. (2) because it's easy and gives me more control on my schedule.
This video is so packed with knowledge & experience, that I listened to it twice, thank you so much! I've done two 5-day fasts, 6 months apart, nothing but coffee & water the first two-days, then nothing but water, the remaining 3 days. I was not supervised but I felt wonderful! I've learned hunger isn't real.
I've done water fasts several times, one that was two weeks, and the 700 calorie type "fasting mimicking" works much better for me. I also recommend supplementing with electrolytes.
Thank you for your comment but we do not recommend only water fasting, since it is very stressful for the body. According to the fasting method of our founder Dr Otto Buchinger, you can also take in teas, juices and soups, besides water. Our scientific studies show that it boosts your energy and does not break the fast. Watch our video for the explanation here: ruclips.net/video/R6g6j66XXC0/видео.html
@@BuchingerWilhelmiFasting if you are taking in juices and soups, how is that still a “fast” and not, rather, a “fast-mimicking diet”? You criticize in the video fast-mimicking diets as just being hypocaloric, but that’s exactly what your program is doing. I’m not saying it doesn’t work, or isn’t beneficial for some people. I’m just saying that, as a matter of logic and basic definitions, your program isn’t a fast - it’s a hypocaloric diet. Fasts with only water, tea and electrolytes, however, are true fasts because there is no caloric intake. The difference between your fast-mimicking diet and the fast-mimicking diets that you criticize is just the quantity and quality of caloric intake.
The lastest fasting was prior Christmas 2021 based on the method of F.X. Mayer and I seamlessly continued with intermittent fasting 16/8 and healthy food only. My day is structured according to 16/8 and I am less tolerant to deviations. I have lost 5 kg and feel great, since I consume less chocolate, junk food and Alkohol. My motivation is a healthy lifespan. There are a lot of fasting mimicking molecules and drugs that are promoted. However the research with humans are not completed and still ongoing. I cannot trust the research results only based on mice and yeast.
Love this video. There are so many programs using the word fasting and applying different methods and science. If you're going to do something why not do it right. Just stop eating to the level of your own comfort timetable.
Thank you as always for the fantastic content! There is either water only fasting or feeding . Never trusted this FMD n all other gimmicks ..i means mimicks 😊 lol
I don’t see how the videos method is NOT a fasting-mimicking diet itself. It proscribes juices and soup and honey and other forms of food that are filled with calories. That’s NOT a fast. It’s fast-mimicking. But then she goes on to criticizing other fast-mimicking diets. Can you explain the contradiction?
Thanks for All your educationel work. I saw one of your residents going more than forty days. Was that also according to the few hundred calories via juice every day - recomendation Best regards 🙏🏽
Thank you for your message. Yes Mr. Schwartz fasted for 40 days according to our method of our founder Dr. Otto Buchinger. Under medical supervision he did therapeutic fasting with low-calorie teas, juices, and soups (200-250 kcal daily at Buchinger Wilhelmi clinics). YOu can watch the video of Mr. Schwartz here: ruclips.net/video/cvPvOtS_I1M/видео.htmlsi=WG23eDQpmdL0Hfqf
I only recently came across your channel and learned about your fasting institute. The content you're providing is fantastic and very much appreciated. Thank you!
There are old starvation studies (which would now be illegal to perform) which show that daily calorie restriction can make people go crazy - it’s counter intuitive but makes sense. If you keep giving people enough food, then their metabolism doesn’t change, and they just feel hungry all the time. But hunger goes away if the calories are low enough, or the calories come from mostly fat and very low carb. No calories can be easier sometimes. It’s complex.
We appreciate your question. I made a note of it, and we will discuss it in the editorial team meeting and maybe answer it in one of the next videos. So stay tuned!
Bonjour, merci pour cette vidéo pleine de bon sens. J'ai déjà effectué deux jeûnes d'une semaine avec un groupe d'amies dans un gîte en montagne(dont deux infirmières). Le premier s'est plutôt bien déroulé (après 3 premiers jours un peu difficile avec des nausées) et à la fin, j'avais une énergie incroyable. Le second, un an plus tard, n'a été qu'un long calvaire. J'ai vomi régulièrement et dès que je buvais un peu d'eau, cela ne faisait qu'accentuer mes vomissements. J'ai du quitté le groupe au bout de 5 jours et j'ai été nauséeuse durant une semaine après la rupture du jeûne. Je tenterais bien l'expérience dans une de vos cliniques mais j'ai un peu peur de passer le séjour à vomir. Quand pensez-vous. Merci par avance pour la réponse.
Thank you for your comment and sharing your personal experience. Before our guests fast in our clinics, there is always a medical examination. There is also a possibility to talk to a doctor beforehand. On request, we can arrange an appointment by phone with the doctor, who can answer your questions. Please send us your request via our contact form: www.buchinger-wilhelmi.com/fr/kontakt/
Blessed for your work Otto Buchinger. This year I made 17 days water only as a response to a revelation of the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ, and it was powerful. Now I will begin 21 days under the Buchinger fasting procedure to allow the Holy Spirit to change me more into His nature and help me to be more humble. One thing I found very therapeutic during fasting is going and feeding the homeless. “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the [c]heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are [d]cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; Isaiah 58: 6-8 NKJV
Well I will listen to the end but people including Inuit, Netsilik & myself today ate better in winter as hunting is by far the best. This idea of no winter food is based on a bias & lack of understanding of ancient culturea.
The argument (and I’m not saying i agree with it) from evolution is speculation that ‘our’ (homo sapien) ancestral environment (hundreds of thousands of years ago - if not millions) was very different and we (with our very similar DNA to those ancestors) are biologically adapted for THAT environment, not our current one. And even the lifestyle of civilizations thousands of years ago isn’t old enough to count as a meaningful ‘ancestral envionrment’. Of course, people can adapt to their surroundings, but adaptation is not evolution. And people are omnivores, so of course you’d expect a wide variety of what people as individuals eat and what cultures have found suitable for them. But none of those facts above mean that your claim (which is true about Inuits) somehow renders their claim false (about speculation on the ancestral environment).
hallo there ...i did a prolonged water fast for 30 days .... and several other prolonged fasts for 11 days i have pcos and it helps me to lose weight and get my period back...but leider i gaind all the weight back ...and i still have pcos symptoms ....so we need more infromation about how prologed fast or fast mimicking will effect hormons and pcos

Ha, perhaps you should research the many children with epilepsy for whom ketogenic diets were first formulated and saved their lives. Those children grew up to be very old adults. When their brains were studied post-mortem, the doctors and scientists were astonished at how ‘young’ the brains looked. Decades younger than their cohorts. I’ve been keto for decades. And when people come over to my place to eat, they have no idea that they are eating a ketogenic meal - I’m an excellent cook and the food is varied, wholesome, delicious and satiating. It’s easy to live this way. I’m a good enough cook that I’m confident I’d enjoy a vegan diet or carnivore or pescatarian. If you know how to cook and prepare food (i often don’t ‘cook’ - don’t need to add heat), then any ‘diet’ is easy. If you don’t know how to cook, then any diet would be very hard.
I've been doing OMAD for 4 years now. Only tea and black coffee without anything, for the fasting window. Your clinique looks like such a wonderful place to fast there)

I fast with only coconut water. My longest was 50 days

@@mausplan3890 yes, people will challenge you and will never understood. Its to draining to explain. So I just keep it private.
I prefer alternative day omad. But i want to do longer fasts.. Mam may I know what kind of fresh juices are prefered during longer fasts?

Well, certainly real! Just not mandatory. I suspect it's there of course to make sure we eat, but also to do so together.
Great Advice Dr Francois🙏
Daily OMAD and eat at 3 PM. Restrict carbs to 10% and eat lot of nuts, vegetables and legumes.
