I've been eating one meal a day for a bit more than 15 years. It wasn't a plan. I've never been a breakfast eater, and I got really busy with work and started skipping lunches and enjoying a meal in the evening. I liked eating this way and decided to stick with it. Everyone in my life tells me that I am going to get nutritional deficiencies and that I am damaging my body. I'm trim. I'm fit. I'm never sick. They are all mostly overweight and taking prescribed meds for various ailments. To appease everyone, I had a physical checkup and had blood work done. My blood work was perfect, but the doctor referred me to a nutritionist when I told him about my one meal a day eating. I met the nutritionist. She was horrified by my eating style. My main sources of calories are potatoes and beans. I eat all varieties of potatoes and all the varieties of beans. I make a huge pot of beans from dry beans every week. Freeze half of it and eat the other half during the week with steamed potatoes (I cut them up before steaming). My main condiment is salsa. I also usually toss a small handful of walnuts on top before I sit down to eat. Sometimes I add other veggies like broccoli, mushrooms or bok choy to the pot of steaming potatoes, but for most meals it's just potatoes and beans with salsa and walnuts. My desert is usually just a piece of fruit if I have it, which can be an orange, an apple or a bowl of berries. I drink water, nothing else. No booze. No juices. No coffee. No soda. The nutritionist gave me a bunch of literature about meal planning. She wanted me to eat three meals a day and include dairy products in my diet. She was nice and seemed genuinely concerned about me, but she was also fat. I didn't adopt any of her advice. It's two years later. I'm still healthy, fit, and trim and enjoying potatoes and beans. Everyone in my life is still telling me that I am going to get sick. After 15+ years, maybe tomorrow is the day.
@@n0o0bie3e We had a neighbor who was, in appearance, morbidly obese. She told me how to exercise, even tho the only exercise she got was walking very short distances. I am into biking and hiking so her telling me how to exercise was stupid.
@@anwarpathan3051 Salt is in my salsa, which i eat almost daily. I do also often put a bit of salt on my meal if i don't happen to have salsa in the house.
My daughter, age 11, is never hungry in the morning - so she doesn't want breakfast and I have never forced her to eat. I think by forcing kids to eat at a certain time (or finishing their plate) we send the message that they should ignore their hunger cues, which is a bad long-term strategy for eating competency as they grow up.
Good for you! I was a terrible eater as a child. Terrible according to adults' criteria. I was having a reduced appetite, I used to wait until the food was at a tolerable temperature, I was chewing slowly until everything would become a paste and, if in the morning, I was always waiting until my tongue was awake too (this was one way of saying it, not knowing that, indeed, systems and organs do take time to wake up)... and so on and so forth. I guess I knew intuitively what I was supposed to do.
I agree, my 12 yr old doesn't eat in the morning either and I caught myself trying to get her to eat something. I then realized the very thing you said about listening to hunger ques and the long term benefit
@@henrythegreatamerican8136 Your comment is not credible. Fasting has proved to be a healthy, safe way to improve one's health. Your motivation to comment the way you did is not based on reality.
Hi Mr Jamnadas, I had bypass surgery 2 years ago and I am taking medicines, can I go on fasting?, I thought I am not supposed to fast when taking medicines.
I commented in the thread and I will also see directly to you thank you so much for your amazing discussion today. I am in day to have a three day fast with my son and your insight and wisdom was just what I needed to remain strong through day three. Thank you so much
Thankyou for some great info and encouragement for me to fast. I have already done fasting in the past but have fallen off the wagon during lockdown. I sometimes really struggle to fast in the morning but I believe it's in the mind because when I'm out of the house I don't feel hungry. Great for energy and weight loss💪🙏
I persuaded my mother to start fasting after force feeding her these videos 🤣 she's 83 we have been doing IF for just over a year and eat clean. We have both lost 50lbs and her lymphodema has gone, both our asthma has cleared up and I swear to god before we started she was showing slight signs of dementia, but those have gone now! Totally medication free household now. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Dr pradip jamnadas and also credit to Dr Jason Fung....lifesaving hero's ❤ 💙 😊
That wonderful myself started fasting. This is day 4, and I'm planning a 30-day fast I was planning doing the lemonade fast, but after listening to Dr.Pradip advices I will discard the maple syrup do just water with lemon no sugar...what I've learned about the benefits of new cells growth I'm all in can't wait to see the results in 30 day
What the Dr. says at the beggining is esential: we won't have enough willpower to fast if we don't have our mind in order. I quit smoking more than 6 months ago, I quit a job that I didn't like so much, my anxiety went down a lot and now I am at peace. I can do everything I set my mind to. I'm in control.
very true...many people are trapped in lives they hate because of money or need for acknowledgement....they re afraid what others might think of them if they choose another path...until they crash and burn and end up in a burnout which drains them or even worse, they get a serious illness due to the stress and then they suddenly overthink their whole lives...when your heart and mind are at peace, your stress levels are low, you are more energetic and have a more positive view on life and you re actually able to enjoy your life and live it,not just have time pass by until you go on the next vacation....
Thats amazing! I truly believe in the power of fasting and how it gives us the clarity to empower us to make amazing changes in all parts of our lives!
“Self imposed scarcity”. When I got my sense of control of what I put into my body, and my habits, it was with fasting. My in my head mantra was “it will still be there tomorrow.” “There’s plenty”. There’s no scarcity in my mindset. Be it food, money, health. So, I don’t have to smash and grab anything. I’m mentally living in abundance.
I have been morbidly obese on and off all my life. I'm 61 now, and lost 75kg in 14 months with intermittent fasting. It's the only thing that worked for me, and I'm keeping the weight off🤞
@@Conservatives-2029 that's great 👍 fasting is the best thing I'm 5.5 & 60kg I never pass 65kg if I do (eating sweet foods) then I just fast for like 24 hours I then eat once a day meal full of protein its the best way to lose weight at any time. This is what our prophet Muhammad told us to do plus it has many health benefits
@@hotmess2766 I'm so glad to hear you can do 24 hrs. Now that I've lost the weight, I'm back to eating 4 meals daily. No fasting. I have PCOS, and I read up on it, that it's not a good idea to fast with this condition. I was wondering why I never got used to it. It took me a lot of will power, and it worked for over a year, but now I want to see my endocrinoligist about taking a physiological dose of Metformin, although I tested negative for pre and diabetes. Good luck with your fasting. It cannot be underestimated, the power of good you're doing to yourself.
I've lost 155 lbs over the last year and a half. I'm on day 30 of a water fast to eliminate the last of my excess fat and skin. In the last month 25 lbs have melted away and I feel great. 18 months ago I was 375 lbs watching RUclips videos of people who overcame obesity and thinking "I wish I could do that." I'm now reaching the shape I was in in my early 20s. I started all this when I turned 61. You can do this. Keto and intermittent fasting are key.
How in the world do you only water fast? I don't know if I'm too old or what. I used to be pencil skinny & now my health is going downhill the last 2 yrs. I feel like I'm hungry to the point of throwing up when I try to fast now!! I don't have diabetes or high blood pressure & don't want to!! How do you hold out on water & not climb the wall?? Do you add vinegar or lemon? And does your skin really shrink??
The reason lots of doctors don't promote fasting is that they won't make any money. But Dr Pradip is a true manitarian. He genuinely care about people. I love his mind set. Thanks doc
the last year has made me think the NHS is really owned by Big Pharma and wittingly or unwittingly they are promoting ill health for profit. Of course, if you have a car accident, they come into their own.
I have been raised on a ranch , fed all natural foods, organic, grass fed meats, wild caught fish, tight Loving peaceful family. Fasting became a part of who I am, as well as strong spiritual beliefs. My best friend is the Lord, Jesus . Thank you for this most important show ever. I. Appreciate you both & am very thankful for your expertise & beliefs. God bless you both with joy. Thank you so much.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Our church decided to fast every Tuesday for the entire year of 2023 and be eliminating anything you want. I've chosen omitting breakfast and lunch, using this for health benefits along with spiritual reasons. So on Tuesday mornings I drink lemon water and that's it until dinner. Actually thinking about going all in and omitting dinner as well.👍

I started IF in November 2018. I was going through a real personal disaster, feeling lost, completely low. I found it on youtube and on a whim, I just did a 18hr fast and guess what "nothing happened". I experimented and got to 20:4 pretty fast even with work and everything. Since then, I have recommended it to many people I care about. I agree with all the benefits but as a layman: 1. My confidence in my own body has gone up exponentially. I am more grateful for my health, I am extremely tuned into the feedback from my body. 2. My will power has gone up. 3. I now have added about an hour of meditation daily. 4. I have since graduated to cold showers, running marathons and ultras, and to entrepreneurship. It is freedom, good health, gratitude, confidence, will power, everything. Once you realize what an exquisite piece of machinery this body really is, you treat it better and you treat yourself better and that reflects in everything else that you do.
I have been intermittent fasting for over two years mainly because I was suffering from arthritis and my knees were really painful. Now .... my knees are mostly free from pain, I function better in all ways of life. I also do cold showers and the combination has resulted in a leaner body, no belly fat and my energy levels are amazing. I am 73 and look great. I haven’t been to a doctor for over 30 years. Thank you for giving these videos because people need to take responsibility for their own health.
I have fasted 20/4 for 10 months, lost 80 pounds and feel great! I just got to stop my blood pressure meds AND my A1c number is back to normal from pre-diabetic level. I’m 63 and fought my weight for 30 years. Thank you for your information! My husband is now also fasting and feeling great too!
I love this doctor's passion for helping people. This doctor is overjoyed to be able to actually empower his patients, it's beautiful. He's not thrilled to PRESCRIBE them medication, he is thrilled to get them off of the medications, and back in control of their health. Love to see it.
My BP went down from140/90 to 120/70 just from slowly reducing carbs and eating breakfast late, say 10 or 11am. I'm 72, on no meds, and never felt better. But I figured it out for myself. Doctors won't tell you (except here).
I love his energy and passion for helping others by introducing them to fasting.Four years ago i was diagnosed with hypertension and kidney failure,my kidneys suddenly failed and I spent 3 years on dialysis.I was also diagnosed with congestive heart failure.In June 2020 I had a left side stroke.My doctors had no explanation of why my organs were failing.I took things into my own hands and starting doing intense research on systemic inflammation.I ran into this doc's youtube videos.I started intermittent fasting while i had my stroke.After physical therapy and fasting for 6 months i regained all my faculties and my blood pressure dropped from 160/110 to 111/80.On April 9th 2021,i had a heart and kidney transplant at 30yrs old.My blood pressure is still normal.I continue to fast but was temporarily diabetic due to the high level of prednisone that is given to new transplant patients.My A1C went up to 8.Doc sent me home with insulin.I choose to check my sugars daily and fast without injecting insulin.My A1C is now normal.Fasting has saved my life.
@@peacemaker8352 Wow! Must have been a ride going through all of that. Really happy you are doing well now. I just wanted to ask you, do you have to go keto or would you be able to sustain with low carb at about 100g of carbs a day?
@@yuvaryugam3434 It was the most difficult experience of my life. I fought hard and stayed positive and i am happy that it was not in vain. Going keto allowed me to stay satiated longer and prevented me from snacking and breaking my fast.If you consume too many carbs,it'll seem like fasting is impossible.
I’ve been doing for Alternate Day Fasting for a month now. I feel soo good. It’s really helped me with emotional eating and cravings. I fast for 36 hours and on the days I eat, I no longer want junk food. I want good Whole Foods. The fact that this doctor is so excited about helping people, is such a lovely thing to see. He’s not just pushing pills and trying to put a bandage on the problem.
Same, I am eating ONE meal a day with a 24 hour gap.. Only protein and fat (not too much fat, just an egg yolk and olive oil and butter, I am gonna change butter to coco-nut oil tho), which I fry my eggs and chicken in. I workout almost immediately after each meal (just to get the energy, otherwise I would do it the other way around). I feel great!
I’ve been an intermittent faster for almost a year! I feel great! Also gluten free, dairy free and cut way back on sugar. Working out 3 days a week… Never going back!!!! I’m reverse aging ❤️
@@JimiInTheJungle Hard to et all your nutrient in one meal but I think that most people should be fasting but it's hard to do without snacking. View this video: this guy said you can't snack. "Fasting: Don't Make this Critical Mistake | Jason Fung"
The FREEDOM is huge. My first extended fast *taught* me something no diet ever did before, that I didn't *have* to eat when there wasn't appropriate food. HUGELY empowering.
Yesss! Sometimes we feel pressured to “get something in our system” because of what we’re taught, even if that something (such as fast food or frozen, breaded foods) have little to no nutritional value
Also what the feelings of true hunger are! I always say "don't feed the critters" or "the critters are hungry!", when what I always thought was hunger, started growling... To come to the conclusion of a lot of dangerous habits that are inherited...
Fasting changed my life, it gave me discipline, self control, self esteem, weight loss which I have maintained, confidence and increased energy. I never fear not eating because I know it is serving me well. Thank you for this interview, fascinating.
@@drdarshanshukla827 start with keto life style, then go to One Meal a Day on keto. After a while chose a day to fast, the work into a couple of days. Totally amazing changes inside your body.
I did this for my 85 year old mum. I started to look after her 5 years ago. Everything you describe happened. No more insulin, no more metformin. Massive weight loss, clarity of thought (dementia improved). I succeeded because I was I full control of the kitchen i.e. proper food. I attempt to eat most of the diet once per day. This was hard for her, but she noticed the benefits were obvious. I got her onboard.
Thank you for relating this experience, I am 81 y/o and have been concerned about how aging may impact the effects of fasting. It is good to learn that your Mum benefited from it without any negative long-term effects.
@@Paul-hi7nw there's absolutely nothing negative about fasting only benefits... All of God's prophets did and most Muslims/Christians do this at least twice every week and a whole month once a year. There is a reason why God told us to do this its only now doctors are finding out doing this kills all bad cells/illnesses in the body including cancer cells but God always knew
Eating healthy is easy working out is easy fasting is easy. Deprogramming your mind is the hard part. These constructs have been drilled into our minds since birth. SET YOURSELF-FREE!!!!
Listening to Dr. Jamnadas has changed my life. I started fasting for losing weight but now because of him I'm doing it for my health. Fasting is amazing and natural!
Been on low carb and intermittent fasting since Jan 1 feeling amazing and dropped 20 pounds ! He is right when I start to feel hungry I drink a tall glass of water within 30-45 min hunger feeling is gone and can go many more hours fasting , mental clarity has gone way up ! I love it
I do Normad Fasting. After following Dr. David Sinclair on RUclips. He's a genetist that has one meal a day. Which is what I've been doing. Slows down ageing process and helps prevent diseases. I feel great. Lost 3kg in one week. Never been a regular eater so I don't miss meals.
I have to try this! I am addicted to sugar. I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis last year & it is now starting to rear it’s ugly head in the form of pain & swelling in my R hand fingers & exhaustion. I need to try something different 🙏🏼
I am a heart patient based in India. I can tell you this Doctor Jamnadas is next to God. He's one of those few whose are making a real and lasting change to this world, for better.
Fasting has saved mine and my fiancés life. He was severely diabetic and now his numbers are great. Blood pressure better. He's lost 100 pounds and I've lost 128. We both love gardening so we sold our house in California and were buying a piece of raw land to build a cabin and plant the biggest garden we can dream up. Major improvements. I recommend it whole heartedly. Oh, his cholesterol and acid reflux are also no longer requiring treatment other than the occasional tum. We sleep better. I could keep going. It's been good to us. And, for the first time in 25 years, I'm gonna go for a run with my daughter when I visit her next week. 😊
👏👏👏💐💛 congratulations! I'm working on my healthy food changes. Would you share a little in what you are or how you eat now as to what you used to eat before losing weight? Thank you for sharing!
Congrats! I have a question. What was your husbands starting weight and ending weight? I’m currently 295 and going for 195 and I’m wondering about the loose skin issues that I’ve seen for people who lose 100 or more pounds.
I am on my 14th day of intermittent fasting. I am doing 18/6 I was eating twice a day once at the top of my six hour window and very little at the end of the six hour window. I started at 300 pounds I am 67 years old. I’ve lost 18 pounds the first two weeks. I’m starting to feel great. I have a hard time sleeping seven hours straight but I’m getting there. My knee pain is getting worse and my inflammation in my body. Seems like it’s getting better already, I’ve been overweight all my life and I believe this is going to do it for me. I’m hoping to lose 150lbs.
Godspeed, man! You can do it! My dad lost 50+ lbs w IF. Didn't even recognize him when I visited for Thanksgiving. Took him 10 months. He is off metformin, lipitor, and Cozaar. I am soooo proud of him!! Keep going!
Started IF 2 weeks ago and I feel that I'm no longer a slave to my appetite and food. So grateful to the doctors that are now leading us in this process.
What I absolutely love about this doctor is his holistic approach to his practice. He’s not just focused on the body, he sounds like he truly wants to better every aspect of his patients lives. This is so admirable and doctors like you are a gem.
What a joy to listen to 2 brilliant medical minds discussing such a vitally important subject. My husband is also a medical doctor and I can vouch that it's not only tough selling the idea of fasting to those in the medical profession, but to the patient! I find it interesting that the same people who criticize and diss doctors and big pharma are also unwilling to even discuss the benefits of fasting!. - They complain that fasting is painful? Well so is illness. So is paying that pharmacy bill. And that hospital bill. It's darkly AMAZING how arrogant close-minded people can be. - I convinced my husband of the vast benefits of fasting, by fasting my way to a healthier weight, outstanding blood test results, tighter skin, a serious increase in energy, clearer mind and brain function, etc., etc., etc.! Our Creator created us beautifully. All we have to do is practice logical thinking. And hatch an ounce of faith
Chicken or egg? Is the answer in fasting or what we eat? Wild animals feed through out the day...most of us are not eating natural. People would cry if u took away their ultra refined foods & lattes.
So true everything you said, food is a very difficult addition, many need help and encouragement to stop the wrong foods, fasting is a big step into wellness.
Fasting has benefits but -- not everyone can fast because of certain health conditions. Some of us do fast -- I still reserve the right to criticize a doctor who pushes gastric surgery over actual treatment though. It's a big money-maker
One of the most unexpected benefits of fasting for me, has been clarity and ease about giving things up. Addicted to food and sugar for my entire life, when I began fasting, there was a deep change inside of me that no longer felt the need to hold on to things. It’s been a very spiritually transitional experience. Never in my life could someone have convinced me that I could train my body to go without eating. Even now, after practicing fasting for a couple of years, I’ll set a goal of 24 hours, then find if I just go to bed a little earlier, which is important anyways, I can get an extra 8-12 hours easily. When I’m to that point, I’m usually no longer hungry at all and know I can fast indefinitely. That is a miracle for me. I should mention I am a type 2 diabetic. I often tell people one of the greatest benefits of fasting for me is the weight loss, not in pounds, it’s not my goal, normal blood sugar is my goal, but in the weight of STUFF I throw out or donate and even negative relationships!!! It’s so freeing!!! Fasting is one of the greatest blessings of my lifetime for hundreds of reasons. I study at great length about what foods to break my fasts for health. I use a fasting app because there’s something for me, about pressing that button. I always feel a bit anxious about any extended fast and then ALWAYS find it easier than I anticipated. I stay busy during my extended fasts, even planning projects. Hunger is all in my mind. My mind is more hungry than my body and in fact, I now love the feeling of hunger. I also know drinking that water keeps me from feeling hungry and if I do feel hunger, it’s because I haven’t drank enough. If I feel truly hungry, I eat because the body knows what it needs. It’s listening to my body, not my mind. My mind is hungry 24/7 lol.
@@Cekatu I use an app mainly to keep me focused on the fast. I maintain at least a 16/8, but my average has been 19.4 hours - another benefit of an app, historical data. I only eat when I am hungry, so I am not strict about when I begin fasting or when I stop other than I keep a minimum of 16 hours per day and I don't eat after 7pm. The app helps me keep track of how long I have been fasting. It also tracks water intake, which good for me because I tend to forget to drink if I don't have a reminder. I use Fastic. It is the only one I ever used so I can't compare it to any other.
Three years ago a India Doctor saved me during a heart attach . My weight was 220lbs 5"8" . I was on a timed diet like most people . Now I eat when I'm hungry . Now I'm 73 and 165lbs and can move like I did when I was 50 .
I'm currently at that weight (220lbs) and same height as you. I've changed my diet over the past 4 years. This is now the next step for me after daily intermittent fasting where I only eat during a few hours of the day. Currently, I've seen better sleep and improved mental health. Fasting over several days each month is the next step for my health journey. Glad to hear that it's the right direction from your experience.
First day, 16 hours. Second day, 18 hours. Now, I’m at 45 hours and counting. Five pounds lost already. Lots of energy. Very clear mind. Slight headache, but I’ve been trying to up the electrolytes for that. Can’t believe how good I feel without food. And the hunger isn’t bad. It comes in waves, but it’s nothing I can’t handle. It’s so much easier to do this than calorie counting or portion control, and neither of those things ever work for me. I’m almost positive it’s because I’ve been insulin resistant. I’ve had a couple of tests where the doctors have said said my liver enzymes are “off,” too. Don’t know what that means, but I bet I have fatty liver. Going to see how long I can keep this fast and clean up that liver, my gut, kidneys, and everything else. Thanks to both of you for these videos on fasting. This may be one of the best things I’ve ever done.
@@Paul-fc6lb Been fasting half of almost every week for a year now. Every single health issue I had is gone. It’s truly the best thing I’ve ever done with my life.
Interestingly, I treat my my hunger when fasting the same way I treat my anxiety. I remind myself that my body is experiencing these. That I am the person in charge of monitoring and managing my body. This mindset changed everything!
Fasting saved my life. Not just intermittent but specifically long term fasting. It was an incremental journey but I can honestly say it changed my whole life trajectory🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Starting my 4th week of IM fasting after a “thought I was going to die” experience. After 2 weeks my glucose went from the 200’s to double digits/low 100’s, lowered blood pressure, decreased meds, increased energy, feel like walking, biking, etc. and am enjoying it! Also lost a few pounds with about 90 more to go. Focusing on how I feel more than weight. I’ve been obese since I was a child and will be 60 in a couple of months. For the first time, I’m confident it will happen. 💝
I think key is start cutting out 80% sugar and carbs from diet before stating the fast. I did that first and the fasting part has been super easy for me. It makes me drink tons of water. When you do get hungry it’s peaks for about an hour then the hunger goes away. Keep your mind occupied the hunger will go away.
I began fasting 2 yrs ago to lose weight. 3 day fast. I was able to loose 50+ lbs. Mental clarity, helped anxiety, I am able to engage more. I love it.
I fast for 7 days straight(water only) once a month. I still go to the gym on days 1, 2, 4, 6, 7. I lost 120lbs in 9 months with very little loose skin.
I've been obese with type 2 diabetes for many years. I finally got serious about my health and started 16:8 fasting, keeping to 60g or less carbs per day and eliminated processed foods (as much as possible). After a month, I feel great! I have my energy back, my skin is clearing up and I lost over 20lbs so far. There is no going back, only forward. I'm going to continue to make little improvements, maybe go to one meal per day eventually. Feed your gut, protect your liver folks!
#1. Eat only natural foods in it’s natural state #2. Eat infrequently/ only when you’re hungry #3. Get at least 7 hours sleep a day #4. Find pleasure in your life and activities so you don’t metabolize bad physiology from bad habits
I can never express how grateful I am to these 2 doctors. My health and life are vastly improved. I discovered Dr. Chaterjee through Dr. Jamnadas yt channel and he is a gift to humanity. Thank you for your contribution to me and all the lives you've touched!
I agree. And this is a fantastic video. The reality is that fasting is not all that difficult and the results are amazing. Then again, that depends on the length of the fast but I've found 24 hours is a breeze.
•I’m not the body - this is something that is imparted on a individual on a spiritual path. •Fasting is something that is also recommended while on a spiritual path. •Inside the patience there is an awareness (not the mind not the body, etc). •He even teaches mediation; focus on breathing and let thoughts come n go. •The Blankness is you 🥰🤘 ***Finally a Doctor who doesn’t seem to be working for Big Pharma; he feels more like a warm understanding Guru vs a medical robot. Loveddddd this segment 🤩🤘 How beautiful Dr. Jamnadas. 🤘
Exactly right! And Orthodox Christians (and Catholic Monastics) implement a guru-based Pythagorean/Platonic philosophical system of fasting and feasting regimens with musical accompaniment. Americans get ripped off constantly with fake "belief systems" and fake "pill packaged bottled" fake science and filthy factory foods. I am software engineer, but I don't eat CPU and memory chips. We compute (estimate) with our computing tools. Computers don't compute by themselves.
Cannot recommend fasting highly enough, I allowed myself to balloon to 35 stone at age 54, I started fasting with an 18: 6 regime, cut out sugar. then I moved to OMAD, now I eat one meal every 48 hrs (roughly). 10 months after starting fasting, I have lost 150lbs, reversed my diabetes, reduced my arthritis, feel better than I have for 20 years, my stomach muscles now feel like muscle, my eyesight has improved, my blood pressure is now normal. I still want to lose another 100 lbs. I have also found I have very little loose skin, I have even lost my moobs lol.
Soooo excited for you and glad you shared. People can’t believe it until they do it and it is so empowering!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! Keep it up!!! When we do the hard and less common things, we will be blessed!!!☀️☀️☀️
Awesome! I started 16/8 naturally I am actually down to Omad after 3 wks. I have about 90lbs I need to lose. The scale hasn't moved yet, but I feel so much better. I've cut sugar & eat less than 20 carbs a day. Only natural food. I pray that the fat will soon start coming off! My weight has doubled in the past 10 yrs. You just gave me hope. I'm not giving up fasting!
Wish I had Dr. Pradip Jamnadas as my doctor, he is what all doctors should be teaching their patients BEFORE it’s to late. He also does an phenomenal job of explaining things to those who are just learning about this. I had no idea and never knew who to turn to. Thankful to youtube algorithm for popping this up in my daily feeds.
Hi docs! I am a pediatrician. I haven’t even reached the end of this, I would say most insightful video but still I can’t help myself to wait for the end to comment how I feel about this whole discussion. 1) I really really appreciate that some people like you both - intellectual, influential, important in the world yet u have preserved your insight or I would say are sharpening your insight into demystifying human life so selflessly 2) As a fellow medico i can understand ur conversation better from alternate perspective of how gutsy is it to talk about pure prevention in the whole world of marketing purely intending to bring happpiness and energy to mankind 3) I am surprised to see u doctors being so good at influencing people through social media - irrespective of being in a busy - usually monotonous routine 4) Best of all is - *How clinically and socioculturally relevant all your examples and descriptions are* that helps us connect immediately with our daily lives… I am blessed to have come across this video and I am motivated to discover who actually I am! And I ordered the book “Dopamine nation” too! Excited to UNLEARN!
I literally tell my patients the same thing re: processed foods! I say: “if you can’t look a something and tell me what’s in it; your body isn’t going to know either.” Good to know we adopt similar strategies and Doctors are thinking alike.
@Skíðblaðnir If losing fat is the goal than being in a calorie surplus is not going to do it. You HAVE to be in a deficit so that to body can use your fat storages, literally how the body works. If you don’t workout and you eat a certain amount of calories and switch to working out but eating the same, guess what that’s a calorie deficit aswell since you’re using more energy than usual and need more energy stores to make up for the extra energy being used. I’ve seen many eating styles and they all can work for different people depending on goals. I’ve seen professional dieticians and nutritionist recommended being on a deficit and fasting has been done since recorded history. Fasting is muscle sparring. I’ve lost 40 lbs since January and have gained strength. Fasting and calorie deficit during the work week and cheat days during the weekends.
This is just so refreshing. I went from plant based to keto and cant stick to neither. Fasting and eating Whole Foods is exactly what we are suppose to do. It feels right and it makes sense. Thank you for this!!!
Plants are not healthy and it might seem counterintuitive. Plants are high in phytic acid, they have defense chemicals because they don't want to be eaten, anti-nutrients. Look it up it science
Yes we are organic and we fast for 36 hours three days of the week - Mon - Wed - Fri Not only are we saving so much money but I also love having more time on those days - No shopping, cooking, eating, washing up etc.
Most of my life I only ate dinner and felt great and was thin, Then during Covid I stayed in and ate. I gained weight, look older and feel bad. I never thought I was fasting, I was just not hungry and I lived healthier. Listen to Dr, Pradip Jamnadas and Sadhguru who I recently found, and I am going back to my once a day meal. You know How I know this works. I recently had a colonoscopy and had to fast and cleanse the bowel and I felt absolutely like my old self. A body was not meant to be full of food all the time. Fast and Live Better.
love Sadhuguru as well.. Please check out Dr. Robert Morse. Great speaker and very spiritual. He is very big on fruits and how they detox and heal you :)
Sadly when I eat only dinner I feel grumpy and I always put on weight ... lunch on the other hand as the key meal of my day powers me immensely and keeps me in shape
@@thetree7694 Here's something that might help you. I always have ice water with me and I am never without it. I call myself a wateraholic. I have read several articles over the years that ice water revs up your metabolism so you are loosing weight just by its Intake. Sadhguru also says that your intention and thought has the ability to change the structure of the water molecules. Look it up. It is true. So as you pour your water have good thoughts towards the water. The water fills your stomach so you don't feel hunger. If you have to eat try a fruit. The fiber is good for you and more. Hope this helps. I started returning to my previous ways of eating only dinner. The weight is coming off. One more important thing. First thing in the morning make neem and turmeric balls and consume with TEPID honey water. You will thank me for that later. Look it up on RUclips. If you don't want to make your own. Just buy the capsules. I feel badly if I skip a day. Learned that from Sadhguru as well. Good luck The Tree.
I've been fasting 1 day per week for a month now, and I definitely feel a difference in my mental clarity. On the other 6 days, I limit my eating to an 8 hour window, and I just drink kombucha for breakfast. I've gained muscle tone and I dont even do intense cardio. I just hike and work in the garden. My skin also cleared up.
@Skíðblaðnir Here in the US, a lot of insurance companies won't cover MRI or CAT scans unless you can show it is 100% necessary. A lot of insurances also dont cover labs until you pay the deductible. Not everyone has access to healthcare like you're assuming. I'm guessing you're Icelandic.
@Skíðblaðnir you still have to pay for a doctor, and specialists are often more expensive. Come pay for healthcare here before you run your mouth. Fasting works for me. There's no reason to fix something that isn't broken just because you think you know better than a licensed physician.
@Skíðblaðnir you clearly have never had to pay for medical services in the US. Also, if fasting is counterproductive, then it wouldnt be working for me.
@Skíðblaðnir you have clearly never tried to get medical care in the US. Seeing specialists and getting labs done can cost a lot of money. Not everyone has access to healthcare. Like I said before, come pay for healthcare services here before you run your mouth from a privileged nordic country with socialized medicine. Also, I've spoken to my doctor about it, and she agreed it works for me and pointed out that there are studies showing the benefits of intermittent fasting. She also drew blood and my labs looked good. I am fortunate to have good health insurance.
@Skíðblaðnir yeah ok. I'll listen to a licensed physician over your condescending, privileged ass. Even if a dexa scan is $99, you still have to pay for a specialist and labs. The fact that you arent considering this shows that you are coming from a place of privilege.
This conversation between two passionate doctors that made limitless sacrifices to help people brings me hope that there are still amazing people that care and do important work behind the scenes
Just finished my first 42 hour fast - (18 hours was my previous longest fast) - and it was easy!! The anticipation of how difficult it was going to be was completely unfounded. Great video indeed. I'm becoming a bit of a medical detective - every time you mentioned a term/name I didn't recognize, I paused the video and learned something about it. Self-empowerment is addictive 😁
@@michaelbarber4813 Hahaha I'm laughing because, for me, nothing could be further from the truth. I keep putting off starting an exercise regime. "I must buy swimming shorts, I must buy swimming shorts". Once your body is fat adapted, fasting becomes easy. Of course, it's better to build up to lengthier fasts gradually. There are one or two hunger pangs along the way but minimal willpower gets you through. Since my OP I did a 6 day fast to break a stall in weight loss. It totally worked. Got my waistline down to my ideal 36".
Fasting is absolutely amazing. Lost about 11 kgs in 3 months. Body fat percentage came down from 38% to 25%, HBA1C came down from 6.4 to 6, HDL Increased, Triglycerides came down significantly
I love this Doctor!!!!!!! I have been going through sickness, one after another all kinds of autoimmune diseases. I even had blisters break out on my feet they told me they don't what's wrong with me, so they think I am crazy. I started to fast for spiritual reasons, and I got so much better health wise it's amazing. I am 70 years old, thank you doctor you are the best.
I've been excited and passionate about fasting and eating natural since 1978; I'm 62. I feel great. Very happy, relaxed and satisfied. I'm free from disease, pain and illness. My weight is ideal and I seldom tire. I sleep well. My memory is great and I'm constantly studying and learning new things. I'm flexible and strong. It's easy to stay active! I hike every day. I know what healthiest foods are; when I eat, I eat ; I enjoy real food. I find that i am only addicted to things I've decided I want to do. It's very easy for me to decide what I want to eat and follow through; decide what I want to do and follow through. Fasting is powerful!! I'm powerful because I fast!!
@@RogueCylon Well, this morning started with water and sunshine; went to the garden to harvest veggies. It's about a 1/3 of a mile walk. Around noon I had acv electrolyte tonic with lemon, matcha, turmeric juice, ginger juice, magnesium taurate, potassium ascorbate, cayenne and a twist of black pepper. Then I ate a very small, yellow watermelon from my garden. My 1st protein was at 2:30: whole milk organic yogurt with organic grass-fed whey protein with 3T of chia seeds and 3 eggs with peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, fresh garlic parsley and cilantro from the garden, cooked in avocado oil and olive oil. Also with kelp granules and paprika. Went back out and worked in the garden. At 6:30 I had shrimp with okra, tomatoes, garlic and tomatoes from the garden; yellow and green beans with tofu and a leftover stuffed red pepper....stuffed with turkey, quinoa and feta cheese. Then I hiked 2 miles after my meal. Only water and seltzer with lemon and acv until tomorrow. This week I will do 2 days of early time restricted eating, so I will stop eating at 2pm. I do different fasting protocols. But, when I eat I get super nutrition.
@@delphinekirkland1757 that sounds wonderful. I try to use all colors in the peppers when I stuff then. Pick up orange and yellow as well. I need to eat more parsley, I normally have it when I have fresh anchovies to sauté. I usually do a Greek yogurt full fat and mix in NMN every day. Will put a few berries in as well. Always try to include EVOO every day.
@@RogueCylon Color is a big deal for me. When i garden i grow as many colors of everything. . I ate 2 raw red okra pods the last couple of days and I want to keep that up. Wow, fresh anchovies sounds great! I've not had them. I've been listening to Dr.Sinclaire's podcast series on longevity so I'm going to order some nmn. As a student of Ayurveda and I've been thinking that regeneration and rejuvenation is a part of my "calling". It's fun to research. I'm just starting to take it up a notch. Dr.Sinclair advocates IFAN, intermittent fasting with adequate nutrition. My plan is IF with super nutrition and superior lifestyle. Again, it's fun!! And yes, EVO every day for decades. My only oils are olive, avocado, ghee, butter and organic red palm.
@@delphinekirkland1757 sounds like your garden is producing good things! I have been Mediterranean Keto with IF, and supplementation for healthspan. It’s been amazing.
Dr. Jamnadas... You saved my life, I accidentally found you and thought I'll give it a try. I was 230lbs, now 211. Never thought it was possible, tried everything. It has become my way of life, thank you Sir🙏🏽
My daughter was a skinny child and we kept getting told she was under weight. After getting rather annoyed I asked based off what. They said based of the national average. I pointed out the the national average is obese here in the states so maybe the easiest way to fix the system is to quit basing it off broken averages and baselines so the system doesn't keep contributing to the problem. I could tell in a moment, I hurt the ego of this doctor, but in a split second, you could see the light come on. Our visits became far more beneficial instead of the typical superficial.
My mum went through the depression years and used to go hungry . She always brought me up to have three healthy meals a day . I still was diagnosed with pre diagnosed diabetes. Now I fast and only eat 1 good meal a day and fast regularly. I lost weight and no ailments .
"Wide eyed and bushy tailed" 100%. Day 9 of IF. After months of mornings getting harder to get up and recently, a persistent need to nap during the day, as soon as I adopted a 16:8 schedule, I stopped needing naps. This week I'm up before the children and energetic. I'm amazed at how good I feel.
@Naree Greenland I say Amen 2 that. This Doctor is Spot-On. I really can't stand when peo. just keep shoving shoving things into their Mouths -- like dirty little Pigs do. And THEN -- some people just eat EVEN though they are NOT hungry. JUST STOP EATING ALL THE TIME. Great Talk Doctors.
Davina Gray-the previous comment praised the doctor for loving his job and his patients. Then you said negative things about those patients and their habits. The key to this doctor’s success is that he recognizes there are many psychological causes for overeating, sometimes because of trauma and abuse that were no fault of the patient. Also, some people are genetically prone to secrete more insulin and store more fat. If doctors are to help their patients, they must be able to put judgment and sense of superiority aside and work with the metabolic problems people have. This doc is great! Follow his example. People with metabolic problems can’t be viewed as “dirty little piggies” or we cannot make a difference.
@@jbailey1898 Ohh Chill out. The doctor is fine. It's just that some people just eat to just eat & stuff their face so much that it's just so disgusting -- therefore making themselves sooo obese (which is sickening & should I say Soo unhealthy). But these people or the Dr's patients are getting GOOD advice from him. I think he's EXCELLENT. It's just that I personally hate to see peo. EAT food like it's going out of style ((as I said Stuffing their face)) like Crazy. i.e Have U seen a person eat 4 Hamburgers 3 steaks 2 hot dogs a bag of French Fries 🍟 & two Large Cokes❓. I'm just saying -- Now, that's what I mean by eating like a 🐖. Now if the doctor could help them with their problem, or trama that they are going through then hey, that's all good for that patient. BUT BUT BUT eating like that is just disgusting. Hope ya feel me. ✌️ No hard feelings. Just MY Opinion Bec everyone has one.
@@jbailey1898 you are absolutely right, we have got to stop judging people because we are all different and metabolize food differently. That doctor is truly one of a kind!
I have been doing intermittent fasting for 2 months now. I go 16 hours without eating. I drink water and green tea though…. Just no food for 16 hours. My fasting starts after dinner. This means I skip breakfast and my next meal is a light lunch next day. I feel great! I can only recommend it. 👍
I’m 17, and have been eating SOOOOOO unhealthy my whole life, yet I’m only just realizing how much it’s been hurting me. I’m ready to finally be free, so long as it’s not already too late.
Making a healthy lifestyle change can undo the impacts of an unhealthy life style. The best example of this is smokers, who within a few weeks will have healthier lungs and a healthier cardiovascular system. By including a cheat day into your lifestyle, but that doesn't encourage you to go overboard, you can still enjoy the occasional burger with fries, pizza, etc.
I’ve been fasting for around 4 years and 9/10 people I tell, frown and criticise, telling me it can’t be good for you. I’ve learnt to not say anything unless they ask.
@@gailselkirksmith Just started losing the weight consistently on my fifth week and the first person I told frowned and told me that won’t work and started talking about metabolism. He’s about 3 stone overweight. Everything this guy said here is spot on. I’d add that my appetite reduces and I can’t eat as much at once. My stomach becomes less bloated and I have a taste for trying new lighter foods.
Yes, I don't say anything to people just do it. I've been fasting about a year along with low carb. Down 12 pounds and never felt better physically and mentally. IF each day 16-18 and lately 20 hours daily. Went from 2 meals down to about 1 large.
@@sgray4995 I started by skipping breakfast without knowing nothing about fasting but it totally worked and then I learnt about 16/8. Of course you can imagine what people said about skipping breakfast. It was John Harvey Kellogg that first told us that breakfast is the most important meal of the day to sell us his products.
Because of this beautiful human being and doctor I managed to water fast for 7 days. I have also lost a lot of weight over time, and I feel now I have the right knowledge about what to eat, what not to eat and so on. “ Fasting for survival” is incredibly motivating and inspirational. Thank you doc! 🥰
Yes! Dr Jamnadas enthusiasm and greater love for fasting and restored health via fasting and real foods… motivated me to do at first a 4 day fast … then a month later I felt compelled to extend my next fast to 7 days pr longer.. I am currently on Day 3 nearing day 4 later today and I feel great with no hunger, and a deep desire to keep fasting until my body says eat. I attribute my success in overcoming the addictive cravings to Dr Jamnadas “ You can do this, you’re not hungry….you can fast a month if want… your body can handle it”. And, you know what?? This doctor is correct… I am just taking it one day at a time… I am curious how much healing will come to my joints, veins in legs .! I’d rather heal the issues naturally than with surgery or treatments. My body and will is strong… thank you DrJamnadas for the “Go AHEAD, Do IT!! -It won’t hurt you!
*Sunday- Monday 36 hour fast *Tuesday- 12 hour fast, breakfast to dinner * Wednesday- 16 hour fast, workout day * Thursday- 2O-22 hour fast * Friday- 20-22 hour fast * Saturday- normal eating schedule all day if I want, cheat day, workout day * Sunday-16 hour fast Been doing this routine for many years now. It’s a game changer. You get to have large meals when you eat. You don’t have to restrict food groups unless you want to. I can keep a large amount of muscle with low BF. When you try it and get used to it you will then understand that this is the way humans were meant to eat.
@@superbchannel3167 I wish I could blast a pic on here right now. I’m 185 with a 6 pack and more muscular than I have ever been doing any other type of “diet” i’m savagely ripped right now. I’m on year 10 of different fasting routines. 36 every Monday never changes tho. I will reply back if my muscle and bones ever take a shit on me. But I mean I’m years in bro. You have to know how to balance your intake to your output. It’s not easy to figure out but I’m there.
I just started learning about fasting. I went from eating every two hours to one meal a day sometimes two. I am getting ready to go on my second 36 hour fast. I need these videos for inspiration! Thank you to both of you. 😉
@@georgegoble6054 the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak... Mind body soul spirit is one, gluttonous and obesity is bondage... Food addiction is real!
I began fasting 2 yrs ago, started small and built up. I lost 60 pounds, reversed pre diabetes, lowered blood pressure and came off all meds. Currently I fast 20 hrs a day, monday through friday and do a 48 hr fast every weekend. I also do a few 3 -5 day fast per yr. It works and it isn't nearly as hard as it sounds.
Very impressive, thanks for sharing your success! I need to learn this in a correct healthy eating choices way, for getting my health to a ideal state. Exciting!
Blimey - that sounds a bit full on!! Moderation. By just skipping breakfast I do an 18hr fast every day. At the weekend I have my first meal a bit later to factor in socialising with friends and having a life.
I listened Dr. Peter Attia with Tim talking about people do 18/6 hours fasting may lose muscle mass. So I started to worry about it, because I do 18/6 fasting
I can confirm, that my skin looks amazing even after weightloss. I feel energized, fit, healthy & happy. Fasting is indeed healing. Not only your body, but your soul is blooming. I feel a.m.a.z.i.n.g.
Dr. Jamnadas saved my life. I went to him regarding my heart issues and his very thorough exam uncovered kidney cancer which I had to address immediately. I’m fine now and am looking forward to addressing my heart issues with this great physician. Thank you!
Another brilliant conversation. Over the last few months I’ve started going about 14 hours without food & having eaten breakfast all my life (60+) I haven’t found it nearly as hard as I imagined. So far I haven’t gone to 18 or 24 hours but I hope to try it. I’ve also drastically reduced processed food & added sugar & increased plant diversity while still having some meat, fish, eggs & dairy. All “low fat” products have gone. I’ve lost about 10lbs & knee pain I’d had for 3 years has greatly reduced. I assume that’s partly down to weight loss but also less inflammation. Very empowering information thanks!
Can you kindly explain from when you start counting the hours? from last meal or from morning? like you said if you have fasted 12 hours it means you did not eat breakfast and lunch, finally at 6:00 PM you break your fast?
@@KidusRufaelTube I usually finish my evening meal about 7.30 - 8.00pm then don’t normally have anything till about 10am which is often just lemon juice in warm water or bone broth. I also try to drink plenty of plain water but that’s easier in summer!
@@KidusRufaelTube From last meal. I might eat before bed at 0:00 and awake at 8 having already done 8 hours fasting. It is now no problem at all to wait til 16:00 or later to eat. That meal then is my break-fast. That’s my routine. A typical 24 is when I manage to not eat after, say 19:00. I go to bed then waiting till 16:00 is no problem with only 3 hours left to keep busy. It’s always a punching the air moment. I do one every month and when I’ve not it’s when I’ve taken my eye off the ball. Good luck.
@@KidusRufaelTube Also. My stomach seems to shrink after around 2 weeks. I’ve just done 16 hours and ate a banana and sandwich. I’m completely full for now when without fasting I’d need more than that.
Love hearing the health suggestions of Dr Jamnadas. He has so much information and I found this so helpful in my fasting journey. I had to make a choice between going bariatric or doing a fast. Then I made a choice. It’s all about the mind. I am a female 47 yrs old suffering from arthritis and overweight. Did a water fast 7 days and lost and went from 179 to 169. 6 weeks later I have only gained about 2 pounds back. Getting ready to do another 7 day fast. Its also all in the mind guys. My inflammation reduced dramatically. And to this day I move around just fine, have more energy and no pain in my joints. Also taking care of what I eat. Praise Jesus!!!
Why don’t you try alternative tastings like 16:8 or 20:4 or even alternate day fasting? Then you don’t have to worry about the weight coming back or doing it for 7 days. Just a suggestion.
I'm currently doing a 7 day fast... on Day 5... love it! I am exercising throughout - today I ran 5 miles and am getting ready to jump on my rebounder... I also take a sauna every day to aid detox
Dr Pradip is my hero. Due to his persuasive, gentle and friendly youtube videos, I finally went in on IF. Glad to say its saved my life. I have been doing it for last couple of years. Still, I got high cholesterol and pre-diabetic sugar (since I would eat junk and drink abit during weekends). next steps: stop weekend bad habits and check how it goes after 3-4 months.
Though I have been doing 16:8 and 18:6 Intermittent fasting for over 4 years, I've decided to dedicate myself to more extended fasts this year. Since Jan 3, I've been doing mostly 42-48h fasts every weekend. Only two weekends I did 25h fasts but otherwise, I've been doing well! With keto, IF and extended fasting, I've lost 20lbs in 6 weeks. Started my 48h fast this morning. So many people need to be educated about the power of fasting. All they think they know is 'you are starving yourself'. They don't understand autophagy, BDNF, reduction of inflammation, gut biome and mitochondrial repair.
Very well said. You covered it the key points. Additionally, growth hormone has also shown to increase, which works wonders with resistance training. Much leaner body for sure.
Been doing them for over 20 years, gradually went from few days to 70 days. Still struggling due to M.E., but I can feel benefits, and sense I have given myself another 13-15 years of life, presuming nothing else happens to me. Looking forward to back healing fatigue, so that I can feel true benefits of these fasts and the nutritional aids I have used. Real, deeper benefits of fasting come after almost a week, and this is when we can expunge any faecal matter that is encrusted in our colons and digestive system. It is vital to completely cleanse these areas, otherwise you are always going to be vulnerable to disease, and inefficient digestive and absorption processes, along with allergies and food intolerances. Author of Ph Miracle spoke of this too, and explains well why to do a week at least at some point. When you fast longer, you have to be much more careful in the reintroduction of food. I start with some psyllium husks first, for I have gone without them and used soup, and suffered badly with stomach ache, so use the psyllium if you go for longer fasts. along with 2-3 days of water melons. This is the art of fasting long periods, the art of coming off them, for this is when the body tells you it wants food, but too much too early can be dangerous, and it is the only real danger for almost all people.
@@lchin2187 A rough guideline is that a Table spoon is used for a full glass of water. You don't need that much though, and when excess is left too long, if oft sets into a hard jelly. You can still take it as a gel, but better to have about a quarter of glass of water, and add a tea spoon for each use. I take this amount before anything I eat, and never an issue, although the longer the fast, the more minimal is the food size and type you can eat, If you look around on the web there are guidelines, which I think is one day for each week, you should just use psyllium and water melon. When I have done over one month, the stomach becomes very small, and that's when you have to be careful and patient. The psyllium is the best help there is, and soon as I feel stomach ache coming I run for it!!! Wish you well with that. Andrew Norton Webber has lots of material on fasting and distilled water by the way, and my last note is that the water we take is vital for our blood, which is the bridge for the soul. Organic vegetable juice is best water, as this contains organic minerals, due to process called iontophoresis, rather than inorganic which is hard on body and can collect in arteries and harden them, as well as stones. This can be topped up with distilled water extracted from a small cheap distiller for £150, see Amazon. Norman Walker has some very nice little books on these topics, and built the first juicer. He lived to 106, when most died by about 70 back then. SO SPEAKS FOR ITSELF WHAT TO DO!!!
Great information. Here is what I experienced recently. I was working out on daily basis, doing intermittent fasting, eating whole foods, avoiding sugars and my BP was still going through the roof, which left me very confused. I did fasting once on a while,but wasn't very serious about it. I will break it in the middle, or" cheat" with some light meal. Last summer I contracted covid and got very sick. Wasn't able to eat for little over a week. After then I had appetite only for apples. So the following week I ate apples and drank only tea .Then I checked my BP and omg, it was normal! So I know fasting works in amazing way, even though my fasting was forced by sickness.
Similar happened to me 6 wks ago when I caught a virus. I believe it was either Pneumonia or Covid (still awaiting blood test results) but it floored me for over a week . My body ached all over, I could barely stand up, lost my appetite and sense of taste. I managed to eat a little fruit once a day, kept up my daily vitamin supplements and drank only water. During that week in bed I watched many RUclips videos about health, diet, fasting and the crap we put into our bodies. It was an education. After 10 days, I weighed myself to find I had lost 15lbs from 190lbs. I am 67yrs old. Now fully recovered, but to maintain my lower weight, I've changed my food intake to one meal a day, started intermittent fasting, cooking from scratch, no processed foods and definitely - NO SUGAR.
It’s like your body knows what to do when there’s something wrong! The hormone that causes hunger wasn’t produced to help you heal faster….. fasting is amazing I have been fasting for over 20yrs and never get sick and I’m not too skinny
This is such an amazing and honest video. I am over weight, I work shift work in a pretty stressful line of work. The doctor said it perfectly. I’m not a slave to my habits, I have no excuses, It’s my life and I have to make the decision…I’ve been testing IF for the past year with great results but often relapsed. I am on day 3 of a 7 day fast….I’ve made the decision! God bless you all!
@@astrosguy it really does work the whole world should try fasting. Also when you eat some cheat foods some days you don't feel guilty or put on weight why? Because you're fasting 😂 I do like 20/4 daily which is good cause I'm 60 kg or 65 at times the most I've ever been is 69kg (11 stone) as a teen thank God and I now eat whatever I want and remain the same 😂 because I fast keep it up hun 👍
TEARFULLY APPRECIATIVE of both of you for your true dedication to wellness. And making the goal of coming off medications an actual reality. When this is brought up to most providers, patients are labeled as non-compliant or medical rebels for having the audacity to be medically empowered. YOU ARE BOTH AMAZING!!!!
I’ve been watching Dr Pradip’s videos for a few months now and they have made a massive impact on my life. Thanks to Dr Pradip, fasting is now a regular part of my life.
I am a woman had a 99% blockage in my left descending artery and had two stents back in 2004. I just came across these videos yesterday and have been watching them all day. I’ve only had one meal per day since yesterday although it wasn’t necessarily all healthy. I’m going to do this fasting as I want to get off all my meds. It’s best for me not to tell anyone I’m going to do this as I already got a negative remark from my neighbor.
you should have somebody in your corner, even if its an online support group or your GP or a family member or friend. When you have lots of heal problems and you make a major change its always worth having someone know whats going on, just in case the information is needed. Good luck with your change and improving your existence! i'm rooting for you!
@@carolstefan7662 wow! That is wonderful! Congratulations and keep going on your journey to better health. And I totally agree about not telling certain people. I have told my husband to NOT tell anyone I am doing intermittent fasting. I am about four to five weeks in and have lost about 6-7 lbs. so far!
I started fasting about a month ago. It has really helped me to stop thinking about food all day long. I did my first ever three day fast and I was amazed how great I felt. I never thought I could do it. I am down to my goal weight, and I know I can do this for life. I am currently eating in a 6 hour window, and I eat healthy meals during that window. I use to eat all day long, never eating meals, just snacking all day.
How did you get past day 2? Just power through it? I have always had trouble getting through day 2, after about 40 or so hours. I'm like 30 pounds too heavy, so i have plenty of reserves, lol.
I did fasting for two days then I broke... Again I started again same thing happened ... I don't know how to continue.... I want to do 7 days of fast ...... please help
I had started OMD as it's more convenient for me. I don't feel hungry until about 5pm. This gives me the opportunity to buy the required ingredients on my way home from work and to cook the dishes that I enjoy in the evening. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my weight had lowered from 86kg to 74kg over 10 months.
I have a sugar addiction which I'm trying to overcome. I started wild water swimming, and I'm starting fasting, and telling myself that I deserve to thrive. A lot of what is being sold as food is poison. I continually tell myself that I deserve better, self love, that my body deserves good health, good nutrition.
12:00 What is the body supposed to do! My wife and I did a 40 day lemon juice fast 2 years ago. We were fasting from a Believer Christian point of view. On day 37 of that fast this video came to us and we were just amazed at the "complete care of the body" let the body do what it is designed to do. We lost weight and then because of a very crazy situations got off this pattern of eating one meal/day. We are back on it since January 2024 and immediately we have lost 15 pounds, clothes are more comfortable and it is so amazing to just eat all the healthiest food and realize it is less expensive! God bless these men to speak boldly and continually for good health!
This is the very First time I heard Anyone talk about what I call the ‘No food high.’ After two days, hunger leaves. After six days, it’s sort of a euphoria. Not eating has always been a grief coping mechanism for me 🥰
I practiced alternate day fasting (36 hr fast)-(ADF)-(Monk fasting) for an entire month. I felt incredible! BP dropped, bloating disappeared, weight fell off, mental clarity through the roof, and on feeding days it felt like my body just absorbed the meals like it was nothing. I did not follow any particular diet on feeding days.
These two doctors have divine wisdom teaching us to control and discipline our mindset from food addiction. Food addiction is a slave mentality that leads to severe diseases. Fasting is a healthy way of getting rid of so much toxic things from our body. I fast two times a week and i feel so good, i don't take medicines. I hope that more people around the Globe watch your videos. So people out there listen to this instead of taking pills all the time. God bless these two doctors, keep spreading your videos to save life. Thank you. 🙏💓💓
I've been eating one meal a day for a bit more than 15 years. It wasn't a plan. I've never been a breakfast eater, and I got really busy with work and started skipping lunches and enjoying a meal in the evening. I liked eating this way and decided to stick with it. Everyone in my life tells me that I am going to get nutritional deficiencies and that I am damaging my body. I'm trim. I'm fit. I'm never sick. They are all mostly overweight and taking prescribed meds for various ailments. To appease everyone, I had a physical checkup and had blood work done. My blood work was perfect, but the doctor referred me to a nutritionist when I told him about my one meal a day eating. I met the nutritionist. She was horrified by my eating style. My main sources of calories are potatoes and beans. I eat all varieties of potatoes and all the varieties of beans. I make a huge pot of beans from dry beans every week. Freeze half of it and eat the other half during the week with steamed potatoes (I cut them up before steaming). My main condiment is salsa. I also usually toss a small handful of walnuts on top before I sit down to eat. Sometimes I add other veggies like broccoli, mushrooms or bok choy to the pot of steaming potatoes, but for most meals it's just potatoes and beans with salsa and walnuts. My desert is usually just a piece of fruit if I have it, which can be an orange, an apple or a bowl of berries. I drink water, nothing else. No booze. No juices. No coffee. No soda. The nutritionist gave me a bunch of literature about meal planning. She wanted me to eat three meals a day and include dairy products in my diet. She was nice and seemed genuinely concerned about me, but she was also fat. I didn't adopt any of her advice. It's two years later. I'm still healthy, fit, and trim and enjoying potatoes and beans. Everyone in my life is still telling me that I am going to get sick. After 15+ years, maybe tomorrow is the day.
Love this. It is always so ironic when people who are fat talk about nutrition
@@n0o0bie3e We had a neighbor who was, in appearance, morbidly obese. She told me how to exercise, even tho the only exercise she got was walking very short distances. I am into biking and hiking so her telling me how to exercise was stupid.
So nice you eat salt or not
Fifteen plus years you are eating only potatoes and beans am I right
@@anwarpathan3051 Salt is in my salsa, which i eat almost daily. I do also often put a bit of salt on my meal if i don't happen to have salsa in the house.
My daughter, age 11, is never hungry in the morning - so she doesn't want breakfast and I have never forced her to eat. I think by forcing kids to eat at a certain time (or finishing their plate) we send the message that they should ignore their hunger cues, which is a bad long-term strategy for eating competency as they grow up.
Good for you! I was a terrible eater as a child. Terrible according to adults' criteria. I was having a reduced appetite, I used to wait until the food was at a tolerable temperature, I was chewing slowly until everything would become a paste and, if in the morning, I was always waiting until my tongue was awake too (this was one way of saying it, not knowing that, indeed, systems and organs do take time to wake up)... and so on and so forth. I guess I knew intuitively what I was supposed to do.
I agree, my 12 yr old doesn't eat in the morning either and I caught myself trying to get her to eat something. I then realized the very thing you said about listening to hunger ques and the long term benefit
The fasting fad is pure nonsense to get people to stop eating so much because the global food supply won't be able to sustain billions more people.
@@henrythegreatamerican8136 Your comment is not credible. Fasting has proved to be a healthy, safe way to improve one's health. Your motivation to comment the way you did is not based on reality.
@@henrythegreatamerican8136 :-)))) Fasting is millennia old. Calm down!
Thank you for having me on your show! Great to have this conversation shared with the world!
Hi Mr Jamnadas, I had bypass surgery 2 years ago and I am taking medicines, can I go on fasting?, I thought I am not supposed to fast when taking medicines.
Thank you dear doctors for your service 🙏🏽
Thank you - I really appreciate you candour and all your talks 👏🏼
I commented in the thread and I will also see directly to you thank you so much for your amazing discussion today. I am in day to have a three day fast with my son and your insight and wisdom was just what I needed to remain strong through day three. Thank you so much
Thankyou for some great info and encouragement for me to fast. I have already done fasting in the past but have fallen off the wagon during lockdown. I sometimes really struggle to fast in the morning but I believe it's in the mind because when I'm out of the house I don't feel hungry. Great for energy and weight loss💪🙏
I persuaded my mother to start fasting after force feeding her these videos 🤣 she's 83 we have been doing IF for just over a year and eat clean. We have both lost 50lbs and her lymphodema has gone, both our asthma has cleared up and I swear to god before we started she was showing slight signs of dementia, but those have gone now! Totally medication free household now. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Dr pradip jamnadas and also credit to Dr Jason Fung....lifesaving hero's ❤ 💙 😊
That wonderful myself started fasting. This is day 4, and I'm planning a 30-day fast I was planning doing the lemonade fast, but after listening to Dr.Pradip advices I will discard the maple syrup do just water with lemon no sugar...what I've learned about the benefits of new cells growth I'm all in can't wait to see the results in 30 day
Yayyy🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@tammymurphy334 how was your 30 day fast? hope it went well..
Force feeding her videos, sounds like my situation with mines, she's so stubborn and so plugged into the facade propaganda matrix we live in.
Life saving for sure. Nothing matters if our health is not right. F meds and the pushers of those FN poison tablets.
What the Dr. says at the beggining is esential: we won't have enough willpower to fast if we don't have our mind in order.
I quit smoking more than 6 months ago, I quit a job that I didn't like so much, my anxiety went down a lot and now I am at peace.
I can do everything I set my mind to.
I'm in control.
very true...many people are trapped in lives they hate because of money or need for acknowledgement....they re afraid what others might think of them if they choose another path...until they crash and burn and end up in a burnout which drains them or even worse, they get a serious illness due to the stress and then they suddenly overthink their whole lives...when your heart and mind are at peace, your stress levels are low, you are more energetic and have a more positive view on life and you re actually able to enjoy your life and live it,not just have time pass by until you go on the next vacation....
Thats amazing! I truly believe in the power of fasting and how it gives us the clarity to empower us to make amazing changes in all parts of our lives!
This comment section is life
Congrats. You took control 🙌🏾
Agreed
“Self imposed scarcity”.
When I got my sense of control of what I put into my body, and my habits, it was with fasting.
My in my head mantra was “it will still be there tomorrow.” “There’s plenty”. There’s no scarcity in my mindset. Be it food, money, health. So, I don’t have to smash and grab anything.
I’m mentally living in abundance.
What a beautiful way to approach our real lives and how we would like to stay healthy as we live longer and stronger.....
How can I look beautiful again and have a great body image ? I want to discard all baggage body and mind and letting go of things will help me I think
How do I fast do I stop eating or do I start selecting the right food
Empowerment of my mental being
My relationship with my mother is awful
I have been morbidly obese on and off all my life. I'm 61 now, and lost 75kg in 14 months with intermittent fasting. It's the only thing that worked for me, and I'm keeping the weight off🤞
Congratulations, please report back for updates. Saludos from Mexico.

This is what our prophet Muhammad told us to do plus it has many health benefits
@@hotmess2766 I'm so glad to hear you can do 24 hrs.
Now that I've lost the weight, I'm back to eating 4 meals daily. No fasting.
I have PCOS, and I read up on it, that it's not a good idea to fast with this condition.
I was wondering why I never got used to it. It took me a lot of will power, and it worked for over a year, but now I want to see my endocrinoligist about taking a physiological dose of Metformin, although I tested negative for pre and diabetes.
Good luck with your fasting. It cannot be underestimated, the power of good you're doing to yourself.
Holy crap, that's phenomenal! Keep up the new lifestyle!
I've lost 155 lbs over the last year and a half. I'm on day 30 of a water fast to eliminate the last of my excess fat and skin. In the last month 25 lbs have melted away and I feel great. 18 months ago I was 375 lbs watching RUclips videos of people who overcame obesity and thinking "I wish I could do that." I'm now reaching the shape I was in in my early 20s. I started all this when I turned 61. You can do this. Keto and intermittent fasting are key.
@seattlebeard thats incredible
How in the world do you only water fast? I don't know if I'm too old or what. I used to be pencil skinny & now my health is going downhill the last 2 yrs. I feel like I'm hungry to the point of throwing up when I try to fast now!! I don't have diabetes or high blood pressure & don't want to!! How do you hold out on water & not climb the wall?? Do you add vinegar or lemon? And does your skin really shrink??
Kudos to you! Keep it up, you are doing it💥
I'm so glad to hear your story,so happy for your courage and tenacity and success!
you have just motivated me
i’m 50 & post menopausal
i’ve gained 30 lbs
today l take my life back
today l start fasting😊
The reason lots of doctors don't promote fasting is that they won't make any money. But Dr Pradip is a true manitarian. He genuinely care about people. I love his mind set. Thanks doc
the last year has made me think the NHS is really owned by Big Pharma and wittingly or unwittingly they are promoting ill health for profit. Of course, if you have a car accident, they come into their own.
I think so... God bls Dr. Pradip for his concern to humans' maintaining good health.
Alan Goldhammer in California was the star of my biology teacher in med school
womanitarian also
My PCP told me there wasn’t enough research for him to recommend fasting🤔
I have been raised on a ranch , fed all natural foods, organic, grass fed meats, wild caught fish, tight Loving peaceful family. Fasting became a part of who I am, as well as strong spiritual beliefs. My best friend is the Lord, Jesus . Thank you for this most important show ever. I.

Our church decided to fast every Tuesday for the entire year of 2023 and be eliminating anything you want. I've chosen omitting breakfast and lunch, using this for health benefits along with spiritual reasons. So on Tuesday mornings I drink lemon water and that's it until dinner. Actually thinking about going all in and omitting dinner as well.👍

@@kath6252 my doctor does the same.
I started IF in November 2018. I was going through a real personal disaster, feeling lost, completely low. I found it on youtube and on a whim, I just did a 18hr fast and guess what "nothing happened". I experimented and got to 20:4 pretty fast even with work and everything. Since then, I have recommended it to many people I care about. I agree with all the benefits but as a layman:
1. My confidence in my own body has gone up exponentially. I am more grateful for my health, I am extremely tuned into the feedback from my body.
2. My will power has gone up.
3. I now have added about an hour of meditation daily.
4. I have since graduated to cold showers, running marathons and ultras, and to entrepreneurship.
It is freedom, good health, gratitude, confidence, will power, everything. Once you realize what an exquisite piece of machinery this body really is, you treat it better and you treat yourself better and that reflects in everything else that you do.
I have been intermittent fasting for over two years mainly because I was suffering from arthritis and my knees were really painful. Now .... my knees are mostly free from pain, I function better in all ways of life. I also do cold showers and the combination has resulted in a leaner body, no belly fat and my energy levels are amazing. I am 73 and look great. I haven’t been to a doctor for over 30 years. Thank you for giving these videos because people need to take responsibility for their own health.
Can you please educate me how cold showers help you?
Your entire shower is in only cold water everyday?

I love this doctor's passion for helping people. This doctor is overjoyed to be able to actually empower his patients, it's beautiful. He's not thrilled to PRESCRIBE them medication, he is thrilled to get them off of the medications, and back in control of their health. Love to see it.
Totally agree! It is refreshing to see more licensed practitioners going in this direction.

@@BrianJHilliard is going
My BP went down from140/90 to 120/70 just from slowly reducing carbs and eating breakfast late, say 10 or 11am. I'm 72, on no meds, and never felt better. But I figured it out for myself. Doctors won't tell you (except here).
Why the late breakfast? Is there a benefit to that??
Because insulin is high in the morning!! Late breakfast has a huge benefit(s).
I love his energy and passion for helping others by introducing them to fasting.Four years ago i was diagnosed with hypertension and kidney failure,my kidneys suddenly failed and I spent 3 years on dialysis.I was also diagnosed with congestive heart failure.In June 2020 I had a left side stroke.My doctors had no explanation of why my organs were failing.I took things into my own hands and starting doing intense research on systemic inflammation.I ran into this doc's youtube videos.I started intermittent fasting while i had my stroke.After physical therapy and fasting for 6 months i regained all my faculties and my blood pressure dropped from 160/110 to 111/80.On April 9th 2021,i had a heart and kidney transplant at 30yrs old.My blood pressure is still normal.I continue to fast but was temporarily diabetic due to the high level of prednisone that is given to new transplant patients.My A1C went up to 8.Doc sent me home with insulin.I choose to check my sugars daily and fast without injecting insulin.My A1C is now normal.Fasting has saved my life.
Wow! Your story is amazing! Good luck 👍

I just wanted to ask you, do you have to go keto or would you be able to sustain with low carb at about 100g of carbs a day?
@@yuvaryugam3434 It was the most difficult experience of my life. I fought hard and stayed positive and i am happy that it was not in vain. Going keto allowed me to stay satiated longer and prevented me from snacking and breaking my fast.If you consume too many carbs,it'll seem like fasting is impossible.
I’ve been doing for Alternate Day Fasting for a month now. I feel soo good. It’s really helped me with emotional eating and cravings. I fast for 36 hours and on the days I eat, I no longer want junk food. I want good Whole Foods. The fact that this doctor is so excited about helping people, is such a lovely thing to see. He’s not just pushing pills and trying to put a bandage on the problem.
Same, I am eating ONE meal a day with a 24 hour gap.. Only protein and fat (not too much fat, just an egg yolk and olive oil and butter, I am gonna change butter to coco-nut oil tho), which I fry my eggs and chicken in.
I workout almost immediately after each meal (just to get the energy, otherwise I would do it the other way around).
I feel great!
I’ve been an intermittent faster for almost a year! I feel great! Also gluten free, dairy free and cut way back on sugar.
Working out 3 days a week…

Don't overdo it. Your body need nutrients.

Down 85 pounds & feel amazing now, Thanks to fasting! I can’t get enough of this information!❤❤
The FREEDOM is huge. My first extended fast *taught* me something no diet ever did before, that I didn't *have* to eat when there wasn't appropriate food. HUGELY empowering.
Yesss! Sometimes we feel pressured to “get something in our system” because of what we’re taught, even if that something (such as fast food or frozen, breaded foods) have little to no nutritional value
I also like how you learn to read your body and immediately notice that you are eating something you shouldn't
Also what the feelings of true hunger are! I always say "don't feed the critters" or "the critters are hungry!", when what I always thought was hunger, started growling... To come to the conclusion of a lot of dangerous habits that are inherited...
I've always told my friends "just because you are hungry doesn't mean you have to eat". They always give me a blank stare.
Thank you for your post! I'm just starting OMAD fasting and your post encourages me to keep going.
Fasting changed my life, it gave me discipline, self control, self esteem, weight loss which I have maintained, confidence and increased energy. I never fear not eating because I know it is serving me well. Thank you for this interview, fascinating.

@@drdarshanshukla827 start with keto life style, then go to One Meal a Day on keto. After a while chose a day to fast, the work into a couple of days. Totally amazing changes inside your body.

I did this for my 85 year old mum. I started to look after her 5 years ago. Everything you describe happened. No more insulin, no more metformin. Massive weight loss, clarity of thought (dementia improved). I succeeded because I was I full control of the kitchen i.e. proper food. I attempt to eat most of the diet once per day. This was hard for her, but she noticed the benefits were obvious. I got her onboard.

Congrats! I have a question. What was your husbands starting weight and ending weight? I’m currently 295 and going for 195 and I’m wondering about the loose skin issues that I’ve seen for people who lose 100 or more pounds.
I am on my 14th day of intermittent fasting. I am doing 18/6 I was eating twice a day once at the top of my six hour window and very little at the end of the six hour window. I started at 300 pounds I am 67 years old. I’ve lost 18 pounds the first two weeks. I’m starting to feel great. I have a hard time sleeping seven hours straight but I’m getting there. My knee pain is getting worse and my inflammation in my body. Seems like it’s getting better already, I’ve been overweight all my life and I believe this is going to do it for me. I’m hoping to lose 150lbs.
Good job!
Godspeed, man! You can do it! My dad lost 50+ lbs w IF. Didn't even recognize him when I visited for Thanksgiving. Took him 10 months. He is off metformin, lipitor, and Cozaar. I am soooo proud of him!!
Keep going!
Rooting for you. I'm 5'2 and at 230 lbs, want to lose 100 lbs. On my 6th day of intermittent fasting.
You are doing great! Keep with it if it’s working for you. You deserve this!
You can do it! 😉
Started IF 2 weeks ago and I feel that I'm no longer a slave to my appetite and food. So grateful to the doctors that are now leading us in this process.
What I absolutely love about this doctor is his holistic approach to his practice. He’s not just focused on the body, he sounds like he truly wants to better every aspect of his patients lives. This is so admirable and doctors like you are a gem.
What a joy to listen to 2 brilliant medical minds discussing such a vitally important subject. My husband is also a medical doctor and I can vouch that it's not only tough selling the idea of fasting to those in the medical profession, but to the patient! I find it interesting that the same people who criticize and diss doctors and big pharma are also unwilling to even discuss the benefits of fasting!. - They complain that fasting is painful? Well so is illness. So is paying that pharmacy bill. And that hospital bill. It's darkly AMAZING how arrogant close-minded people can be. - I convinced my husband of the vast benefits of fasting, by fasting my way to a healthier weight, outstanding blood test results, tighter skin, a serious increase in energy, clearer mind and brain function, etc., etc., etc.! Our Creator created us beautifully. All we have to do is practice logical thinking. And hatch an ounce of faith
Well said.
Chicken or egg? Is the answer in fasting or what we eat? Wild animals feed through out the day...most of us are not eating natural. People would cry if u took away their ultra refined foods & lattes.
So true everything you said, food is a very difficult addition, many need help and encouragement to stop the wrong foods, fasting is a big step into wellness.
Fasting has benefits but -- not everyone can fast because of certain health conditions. Some of us do fast -- I still reserve the right to criticize a doctor who pushes gastric surgery over actual treatment though. It's a big money-maker
Can anyone tell me how to do fasting. I am not sure how to do it.
One of the most unexpected benefits of fasting for me, has been clarity and ease about giving things up. Addicted to food and sugar for my entire life, when I began fasting, there was a deep change inside of me that no longer felt the need to hold on to things. It’s been a very spiritually transitional experience. Never in my life could someone have convinced me that I could train my body to go without eating. Even now, after practicing fasting for a couple of years, I’ll set a goal of 24 hours, then find if I just go to bed a little earlier, which is important anyways, I can get an extra 8-12 hours easily. When I’m to that point, I’m usually no longer hungry at all and know I can fast indefinitely. That is a miracle for me. I should mention I am a type 2 diabetic. I often tell people one of the greatest benefits of fasting for me is the weight loss, not in pounds, it’s not my goal, normal blood sugar is my goal, but in the weight of STUFF I throw out or donate and even negative relationships!!! It’s so freeing!!! Fasting is one of the greatest blessings of my lifetime for hundreds of reasons. I study at great length about what foods to break my fasts for health. I use a fasting app because there’s something for me, about pressing that button. I always feel a bit anxious about any extended fast and then ALWAYS find it easier than I anticipated. I stay busy during my extended fasts, even planning projects. Hunger is all in my mind. My mind is more hungry than my body and in fact, I now love the feeling of hunger. I also know drinking that water keeps me from feeling hungry and if I do feel hunger, it’s because I haven’t drank enough. If I feel truly hungry, I eat because the body knows what it needs. It’s listening to my body, not my mind. My mind is hungry 24/7 lol.
Hi I am curious about the fasting app. I haven't used one, and have practiced fasting for years. What is the purpose and which one do you use?
Such a beautiful comment! 😍
Thank you for your comment 💕
@@Cekatu I use an app mainly to keep me focused on the fast. I maintain at least a 16/8, but my average has been 19.4 hours - another benefit of an app, historical data.
I only eat when I am hungry, so I am not strict about when I begin fasting or when I stop other than I keep a minimum of 16 hours per day and I don't eat after 7pm. The app helps me keep track of how long I have been fasting. It also tracks water intake, which good for me because I tend to forget to drink if I don't have a reminder.
I use Fastic. It is the only one I ever used so I can't compare it to any other.
@patricia massa- Do you take your diabetes meds when you fast?
Three years ago a India Doctor saved me during a heart attach . My weight was 220lbs 5"8" . I was on a timed diet like most people . Now I eat when I'm hungry . Now I'm 73 and 165lbs and can move like I did when I was 50 .
I don't know why we so timed to eat. I stopped this and I feel so so good. Best part is no one is under pressure in my home to cook or eat.
@@lilianasaba9846 because that is how we evolved?
@@buckmurdock2500 our food processing mechanism hasn't evolved along unfortunately
I'm currently at that weight (220lbs) and same height as you. I've changed my diet over the past 4 years. This is now the next step for me after daily intermittent fasting where I only eat during a few hours of the day. Currently, I've seen better sleep and improved mental health. Fasting over several days each month is the next step for my health journey. Glad to hear that it's the right direction from your experience.
@@lilianasaba9846 time restricted eating has nothing to do with processed food.
First day, 16 hours. Second day, 18 hours. Now, I’m at 45 hours and counting. Five pounds lost already. Lots of energy. Very clear mind. Slight headache, but I’ve been trying to up the electrolytes for that. Can’t believe how good I feel without food. And the hunger isn’t bad. It comes in waves, but it’s nothing I can’t handle. It’s so much easier to do this than calorie counting or portion control, and neither of those things ever work for me. I’m almost positive it’s because I’ve been insulin resistant. I’ve had a couple of tests where the doctors have said said my liver enzymes are “off,” too. Don’t know what that means, but I bet I have fatty liver. Going to see how long I can keep this fast and clean up that liver, my gut, kidneys, and everything else. Thanks to both of you for these videos on fasting. This may be one of the best things I’ve ever done.
Great Show. Devine appointment for me to receive information.
Great for you. However balance is the key. Too much or too little fasting is harmful.
@@Paul-fc6lb Been fasting half of almost every week for a year now. Every single health issue I had is gone. It’s truly the best thing I’ve ever done with my life.
@@KrystinaLiberty Good for you
Interestingly, I treat my my hunger when fasting the same way I treat my anxiety. I remind myself that my body is experiencing these. That I am the person in charge of monitoring and managing my body. This mindset changed everything!
Fasting saved my life. Not just intermittent but specifically long term fasting. It was an incremental journey but I can honestly say it changed my whole life trajectory🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Starting my 4th week of IM fasting after a “thought I was going to die” experience. After 2 weeks my glucose went from the 200’s to double digits/low 100’s, lowered blood pressure, decreased meds, increased energy, feel like walking, biking, etc. and am enjoying it! Also lost a few pounds with about 90 more to go. Focusing on how I feel more than weight. I’ve been obese since I was a child and will be 60 in a couple of months. For the first time, I’m confident it will happen. 💝
Good for you!! Keep going, you can do it!! 💪🏻
You've been fasting for 3 solid weeks and only lost a few pounds? I'm sure you've lost much more than that, right? Excellent work btw! Keep going!!!!
Keep it up girlie!!! You can do it!
Thanks so much blessing ❤️
You can do it. God bless
I think key is start cutting out 80% sugar and carbs from diet before stating the fast. I did that first and the fasting part has been super easy for me. It makes me drink tons of water. When you do get hungry it’s peaks for about an hour then the hunger goes away. Keep your mind occupied the hunger will go away.
As a chiropractor I absolutely love this content and am so thankful to see highly esteemed physicians preaching and teaching this kind of healthcare.
I began fasting 2 yrs ago to lose weight. 3 day fast. I was able to loose 50+ lbs. Mental clarity, helped anxiety, I am able to engage more. I love it.
You can not eat and drink in fasting days
How often do you repeat 3 day fasts. Weekly?
I've found IF has help with my anxiety tremendously!
I fast for 7 days straight(water only) once a month. I still go to the gym on days 1, 2, 4, 6, 7. I lost 120lbs in 9 months with very little loose skin.
I've been obese with type 2 diabetes for many years. I finally got serious about my health and started 16:8 fasting, keeping to 60g or less carbs per day and eliminated processed foods (as much as possible). After a month, I feel great! I have my energy back, my skin is clearing up and I lost over 20lbs so far. There is no going back, only forward. I'm going to continue to make little improvements, maybe go to one meal per day eventually. Feed your gut, protect your liver folks!
#1. Eat only natural foods in it’s natural state
#2. Eat infrequently/ only when you’re hungry
#3. Get at least 7 hours sleep a day
#4. Find pleasure in your life and activities so you don’t metabolize bad physiology from bad habits
#2 kinda agree but alot of ppl dont naturally feel hungry during the day then they end up underweight you want to be in the normal weight range
QUIT COFFEINE!! SO YOU CAN GET FINALLY PROPER SLEEP
@@partlysimpson5154 funny thing is I drink a LOT of coffee but sleep deeply every night

I can never express how grateful I am to these 2 doctors. My health and life are vastly improved. I discovered Dr. Chaterjee through Dr. Jamnadas yt channel and he is a gift to humanity. Thank you for your contribution to me and all the lives you've touched!
I agree. And this is a fantastic video. The reality is that fasting is not all that difficult and the results are amazing. Then again, that depends on the length of the fast but I've found 24 hours is a breeze.
•I’m not the body - this is something that is imparted on a individual on a spiritual path.
•Fasting is something that is also recommended while on a spiritual path.
•Inside the patience there is an awareness (not the mind not the body, etc).
•He even teaches mediation; focus on breathing and let thoughts come n go.

***Finally a Doctor who doesn’t seem to be working for Big Pharma; he feels more like a warm understanding Guru vs a medical robot.

How beautiful Dr. Jamnadas. 🤘
Greetings from South London!
What's with the devil hands tho?
Exactly right! And Orthodox Christians (and Catholic Monastics) implement a guru-based Pythagorean/Platonic philosophical system of fasting and feasting regimens with musical accompaniment. Americans get ripped off constantly with fake "belief systems" and fake "pill packaged bottled" fake science and filthy factory foods. I am software engineer, but I don't eat CPU and memory chips. We compute (estimate) with our computing tools. Computers don't compute by themselves.
Jews have been fasting for their spiritual forgiveness and awakenings for centuries. Lose the devil's fingers, dude.
We are blessed by his munificence
My grandma lived to 2 months short of 104 years. Her diet consisted of beans of all sorts, potatoes, tomatoes, bacon, eggs and rice.
Cannot recommend fasting highly enough, I allowed myself to balloon to 35 stone at age 54, I started fasting with an 18: 6 regime, cut out sugar. then I moved to OMAD, now I eat one meal every 48 hrs (roughly). 10 months after starting fasting, I have lost 150lbs, reversed my diabetes, reduced my arthritis, feel better than I have for 20 years, my stomach muscles now feel like muscle, my eyesight has improved, my blood pressure is now normal. I still want to lose another 100 lbs. I have also found I have very little loose skin, I have even lost my moobs lol.
hi Alan, how do you safely break your fast and how do you incorporate vitamins in this schedule
That's amazing, congrats, please explain how to break the fast please,
@@Ebizzill Break it with homemade broth (soup)
Soooo excited for you and glad you shared. People can’t believe it until they do it and it is so empowering!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! Keep it up!!! When we do the hard and less common things, we will be blessed!!!☀️☀️☀️
Awesome! I started 16/8 naturally I am actually down to Omad after 3 wks. I have about 90lbs I need to lose. The scale hasn't moved yet, but I feel so much better. I've cut sugar & eat less than 20 carbs a day. Only natural food. I pray that the fat will soon start coming off! My weight has doubled in the past 10 yrs. You just gave me hope. I'm not giving up fasting!
Lost over 100lbs in 3 months fasting. Best thing ever!
Wish I had Dr. Pradip Jamnadas as my doctor, he is what all doctors should be teaching their patients BEFORE it’s to late. He also does an phenomenal job of explaining things to those who are just learning about this. I had no idea and never knew who to turn to. Thankful to youtube algorithm for popping this up in my daily feeds.

Hi docs! I am a pediatrician. I haven’t even reached the end of this, I would say most insightful video but still I can’t help myself to wait for the end to comment how I feel about this whole discussion.
1) I really really appreciate that some people like you both - intellectual, influential, important in the world yet u have preserved your insight or I would say are sharpening your insight into demystifying human life so selflessly
2) As a fellow medico i can understand ur conversation better from alternate perspective of how gutsy is it to talk about pure prevention in the whole world of marketing purely intending to bring happpiness and energy to mankind
3) I am surprised to see u doctors being so good at influencing people through social media - irrespective of being in a busy - usually monotonous routine
4) Best of all is - *How clinically and socioculturally relevant all your examples and descriptions are* that helps us connect immediately with our daily lives…
I am blessed to have come across this video and I am motivated to discover who actually I am! And I ordered the book “Dopamine nation” too! Excited to UNLEARN!
You could Start helping the kids eat less carbs and sugar --my child eats so much less and her mood improved
As a pediatrician, I hope you have sincerely and earnestly looked into vaccinations.
Fantastic to hear and learn from you physicians discussions, thanks so very much for your time and help 🙏
I literally tell my patients the same thing re: processed foods! I say: “if you can’t look a something and tell me what’s in it; your body isn’t going to know either.” Good to know we adopt similar strategies and Doctors are thinking alike.

@Skíðblaðnir What do you believe in?
@Skíðblaðnir If losing fat is the goal than being in a calorie surplus is not going to do it. You HAVE to be in a deficit so that to body can use your fat storages, literally how the body works. If you don’t workout and you eat a certain amount of calories and switch to working out but eating the same, guess what that’s a calorie deficit aswell since you’re using more energy than usual and need more energy stores to make up for the extra energy being used. I’ve seen many eating styles and they all can work for different people depending on goals. I’ve seen professional dieticians and nutritionist recommended being on a deficit and fasting has been done since recorded history. Fasting is muscle sparring. I’ve lost 40 lbs since January and have gained strength. Fasting and calorie deficit during the work week and cheat days during the weekends.
This is just so refreshing. I went from plant based to keto and cant stick to neither. Fasting and eating Whole Foods is exactly what we are suppose to do. It feels right and it makes sense. Thank you for this!!!
Plants are not healthy and it might seem counterintuitive. Plants are high in phytic acid, they have defense chemicals because they don't want to be eaten, anti-nutrients. Look it up it science
"You're only as good as getting into your patient's brain". So much truth in so few words.
Thank you, Dr. Jamnadas.
What kind of fluids do you recommend during the long fasts
This doctor has certainly got in my brain. I’m now fasting 36 hours and at last losing weight at a steady pace. Love Dr J s passion.
Mine too,lol
Not only I see the benefits of this, I also see huge benefits in my food bill.
I also have. My husband was pleased about that. Less is truly more.
Yes we are organic and we fast for 36 hours three days of the week - Mon - Wed - Fri
Not only are we saving so much money but I also love having more time on those days - No shopping, cooking, eating, washing up etc.
@@LoisPallisterCIY amen
been doing OMAD for 6 months and my grocery bill has definitely shrunk.
Most of my life I only ate dinner and felt great and was thin, Then during Covid I stayed in and ate. I gained weight, look older and feel bad. I never thought I was fasting, I was just not hungry and I lived healthier. Listen to Dr, Pradip Jamnadas and Sadhguru who I recently found, and I am going back to my once a day meal. You know How I know this works. I recently had a colonoscopy and had to fast and cleanse the bowel and I felt absolutely like my old self. A body was not meant to be full of food all the time.
Fast and Live Better.
love Sadhuguru as well.. Please check out Dr. Robert Morse. Great speaker and very spiritual. He is very big on fruits and how they detox and heal you :)
Sadly when I eat only dinner I feel grumpy and I always put on weight ... lunch on the other hand as the key meal of my day powers me immensely and keeps me in shape
But how to fight hunger?
@@thetree7694 The hunger always passes. Try Keto - the extra fat in the diet keeps you feeling satiated.
@@thetree7694 Here's something that might help you. I always have ice water with me and I am never without it. I call myself a wateraholic. I have read several articles over the years that ice water revs up your metabolism so you are loosing weight just by its Intake. Sadhguru also says that your intention and thought has the ability to change the structure of the water molecules. Look it up. It is true. So as you pour your water have good thoughts towards the water. The water fills your stomach so you don't feel hunger. If you have to eat try a fruit. The fiber is good for you and more. Hope this helps. I started returning to my previous ways of eating only dinner. The weight is coming off. One more important thing. First thing in the morning make neem and turmeric balls and consume with TEPID honey water. You will thank me for that later. Look it up on RUclips. If you don't want to make your own. Just buy the capsules. I feel badly if I skip a day. Learned that from Sadhguru as well. Good luck The Tree.
I've been fasting 1 day per week for a month now, and I definitely feel a difference in my mental clarity. On the other 6 days, I limit my eating to an 8 hour window, and I just drink kombucha for breakfast. I've gained muscle tone and I dont even do intense cardio. I just hike and work in the garden. My skin also cleared up.
@Skíðblaðnir Here in the US, a lot of insurance companies won't cover MRI or CAT scans unless you can show it is 100% necessary. A lot of insurances also dont cover labs until you pay the deductible. Not everyone has access to healthcare like you're assuming. I'm guessing you're Icelandic.
@Skíðblaðnir you still have to pay for a doctor, and specialists are often more expensive. Come pay for healthcare here before you run your mouth. Fasting works for me. There's no reason to fix something that isn't broken just because you think you know better than a licensed physician.
@Skíðblaðnir you clearly have never had to pay for medical services in the US. Also, if fasting is counterproductive, then it wouldnt be working for me.
@Skíðblaðnir you have clearly never tried to get medical care in the US. Seeing specialists and getting labs done can cost a lot of money. Not everyone has access to healthcare. Like I said before, come pay for healthcare services here before you run your mouth from a privileged nordic country with socialized medicine. Also, I've spoken to my doctor about it, and she agreed it works for me and pointed out that there are studies showing the benefits of intermittent fasting. She also drew blood and my labs looked good. I am fortunate to have good health insurance.
@Skíðblaðnir yeah ok. I'll listen to a licensed physician over your condescending, privileged ass. Even if a dexa scan is $99, you still have to pay for a specialist and labs. The fact that you arent considering this shows that you are coming from a place of privilege.

This conversation between two passionate doctors that made limitless sacrifices to help people brings me hope that there are still amazing people that care and do important work behind the scenes
Just finished my first 42 hour fast - (18 hours was my previous longest fast) - and it was easy!! The anticipation of how difficult it was going to be was completely unfounded. Great video indeed. I'm becoming a bit of a medical detective - every time you mentioned a term/name I didn't recognize, I paused the video and learned something about it. Self-empowerment is addictive 😁
People don’t seem to realize that past day 3 it becomes a very smooth fast, no hunger. Take your electrolytes.
Congrats. I have stabilized on 18:6 for 2 weeks.
Will try 1 meal a day for a week and then try a 36 hour fast.
You must have to be very busy people to keep your mind off food for 42 hours😮😮
@@michaelbarber4813
Hahaha I'm laughing because, for me, nothing could be further from the truth. I keep putting off starting an exercise regime. "I must buy swimming shorts, I must buy swimming shorts".
Once your body is fat adapted, fasting becomes easy. Of course, it's better to build up to lengthier fasts gradually. There are one or two hunger pangs along the way but minimal willpower gets you through. Since my OP I did a 6 day fast to break a stall in weight loss. It totally worked. Got my waistline down to my ideal 36".
How long does someone fast.
Fasting is absolutely amazing. Lost about 11 kgs in 3 months. Body fat percentage came down from 38% to 25%, HBA1C came down from 6.4 to 6, HDL Increased, Triglycerides came down significantly
I love this Doctor!!!!!!! I have been going through sickness, one after another all kinds of autoimmune diseases. I even had blisters break out on my feet they told me they don't what's wrong with me, so they think I am crazy. I started to fast for spiritual reasons, and I got so much better health wise it's amazing. I am 70 years old, thank you doctor you are the best.
I've been excited and passionate about fasting and eating natural since 1978; I'm 62. I feel great. Very happy, relaxed and satisfied. I'm free from disease, pain and illness. My weight is ideal and I seldom tire. I sleep well. My memory is great and I'm constantly studying and learning new things. I'm flexible and strong. It's easy to stay active! I hike every day. I know what healthiest foods are; when I eat, I eat ; I enjoy real food. I find that i am only addicted to things I've decided I want to do. It's very easy for me to decide what I want to eat and follow through; decide what I want to do and follow through. Fasting is powerful!! I'm powerful because I fast!!
Curious what your diet looks like Delphine.
@@RogueCylon Well, this morning started with water and sunshine; went to the garden to harvest veggies. It's about a 1/3 of a mile walk. Around noon I had acv electrolyte tonic with lemon, matcha, turmeric juice, ginger juice, magnesium taurate, potassium ascorbate, cayenne and a twist of black pepper. Then I ate a very small, yellow watermelon from my garden. My 1st protein was at 2:30: whole milk organic yogurt with organic grass-fed whey protein with 3T of chia seeds and 3 eggs with peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, fresh garlic parsley and cilantro from the garden, cooked in avocado oil and olive oil. Also with kelp granules and paprika. Went back out and worked in the garden. At 6:30 I had shrimp with okra, tomatoes, garlic and tomatoes from the garden; yellow and green beans with tofu and a leftover stuffed red pepper....stuffed with turkey, quinoa and feta cheese. Then I hiked 2 miles after my meal. Only water and seltzer with lemon and acv until tomorrow.
This week I will do 2 days of early time restricted eating, so I will stop eating at 2pm. I do different fasting protocols. But, when I eat I get super nutrition.
@@delphinekirkland1757 that sounds wonderful. I try to use all colors in the peppers when I stuff then. Pick up orange and yellow as well. I need to eat more parsley, I normally have it when I have fresh anchovies to sauté. I usually do a Greek yogurt full fat and mix in NMN every day. Will put a few berries in as well. Always try to include EVOO every day.
@@RogueCylon Color is a big deal for me. When i garden i grow as many colors of everything. . I ate 2 raw red okra pods the last couple of days and I want to keep that up.
Wow, fresh anchovies sounds great! I've not had them. I've been listening to Dr.Sinclaire's podcast series on longevity so I'm going to order some nmn. As a student of Ayurveda and I've been thinking that regeneration and rejuvenation is a part of my "calling". It's fun to research. I'm just starting to take it up a notch.
Dr.Sinclair advocates IFAN, intermittent fasting with adequate nutrition. My plan is IF with super nutrition and superior lifestyle. Again, it's fun!!
And yes, EVO every day for decades. My only oils are olive, avocado, ghee, butter and organic red palm.
@@delphinekirkland1757 sounds like your garden is producing good things! I have been Mediterranean Keto with IF, and supplementation for healthspan. It’s been amazing.

Congratulations!!! Keep it up, you’ve got this!!
My daughter was a skinny child and we kept getting told she was under weight. After getting rather annoyed I asked based off what. They said based of the national average. I pointed out the the national average is obese here in the states so maybe the easiest way to fix the system is to quit basing it off broken averages and baselines so the system doesn't keep contributing to the problem. I could tell in a moment, I hurt the ego of this doctor, but in a split second, you could see the light come on. Our visits became far more beneficial instead of the typical superficial.
Just, wow, cool. Smart.
My mum went through the depression years and used to go hungry . She always brought me up to have three healthy meals a day . I still was diagnosed with pre diagnosed diabetes. Now I fast and only eat 1 good meal a day and fast regularly. I lost weight and no ailments .
"Wide eyed and bushy tailed"
100%.
Day 9 of IF. After months of mornings getting harder to get up and recently, a persistent need to nap during the day, as soon as I adopted a 16:8 schedule, I stopped needing naps. This week I'm up before the children and energetic. I'm amazed at how good I feel.
The passion of this man! we need more Drs like him, you can tell that he cares and that LOVES his job.
@Naree Greenland
I say Amen 2 that. This Doctor is Spot-On. I really can't stand when peo. just keep shoving shoving things into their Mouths -- like dirty little Pigs do. And THEN -- some people just eat EVEN though they are NOT hungry. JUST STOP EATING ALL THE TIME. Great Talk Doctors.
Davina Gray-the previous comment praised the doctor for loving his job and his patients. Then you said negative things about those patients and their habits. The key to this doctor’s success is that he recognizes there are many psychological causes for overeating, sometimes because of trauma and abuse that were no fault of the patient. Also, some people are genetically prone to secrete more insulin and store more fat. If doctors are to help their patients, they must be able to put judgment and sense of superiority aside and work with the metabolic problems people have. This doc is great! Follow his example. People with metabolic problems can’t be viewed as “dirty little piggies” or we cannot make a difference.
@@jbailey1898 Ohh Chill out. The doctor is fine. It's just that some people just eat to just eat & stuff their face so much that it's just so disgusting -- therefore making themselves sooo obese (which is sickening & should I say Soo unhealthy). But these people or the Dr's patients are getting GOOD advice from him. I think he's EXCELLENT. It's just that I personally hate to see peo. EAT food like it's going out of style ((as I said Stuffing their face)) like Crazy. i.e Have U seen a person eat 4 Hamburgers 3 steaks 2 hot dogs a bag of French Fries 🍟 & two Large Cokes❓. I'm just saying -- Now, that's what I mean by eating like a 🐖. Now if the doctor could help them with their problem, or trama that they are going through then hey, that's all good for that patient. BUT BUT BUT eating like that is just disgusting. Hope ya feel me. ✌️ No hard feelings. Just MY Opinion Bec everyone has one.

@@jbailey1898 you are absolutely right, we have got to stop judging people because we are all different and metabolize food differently. That doctor is truly one of a kind!
I have been doing intermittent fasting for 2 months now. I go 16 hours without eating. I drink water and green tea though…. Just no food for 16 hours. My fasting starts after dinner. This means I skip breakfast and my next meal is a light lunch next day. I feel great! I can only recommend it. 👍
How are the energy levels
I’m 17, and have been eating SOOOOOO unhealthy my whole life, yet I’m only just realizing how much it’s been hurting me. I’m ready to finally be free, so long as it’s not already too late.
No way is it too late. You've only just begun. You're listening and learning. That's awesome. Go for it!
A bit young to be so OCD.
Making a healthy lifestyle change can undo the impacts of an unhealthy life style. The best example of this is smokers, who within a few weeks will have healthier lungs and a healthier cardiovascular system. By including a cheat day into your lifestyle, but that doesn't encourage you to go overboard, you can still enjoy the occasional burger with fries, pizza, etc.
It’s not too late, you’re still young, but better start now.
It’s not too late sweetie you’re young
I’ve been fasting for around 4 years and 9/10 people I tell, frown and criticise, telling me it can’t be good for you.

Everything this guy said here is spot on.
I’d add that my appetite reduces and I can’t eat as much at once. My stomach becomes less bloated and I have a taste for trying new lighter foods.
Yes, I don't say anything to people just do it. I've been fasting about a year along with low carb. Down 12 pounds and never felt better physically and mentally. IF each day 16-18 and lately 20 hours daily. Went from 2 meals down to about 1 large.

I started by skipping breakfast without knowing nothing about fasting but it totally worked and then I learnt about 16/8. Of course you can imagine what people said about skipping breakfast.
It was John Harvey Kellogg that first told us that breakfast is the most important meal of the day to sell us his products.
I don't say anything even when they ask. We are all on our own path and others are so judgemental and I don't need their nonsense in my ears
Because of this beautiful human being and doctor I managed to water fast for 7 days. I have also lost a lot of weight over time, and I feel now I have the right knowledge about what to eat, what not to eat and so on.
“ Fasting for survival” is incredibly motivating and inspirational.
Thank you doc! 🥰
Yes! Dr Jamnadas enthusiasm and greater love for fasting and restored health via fasting and real foods… motivated me to do at first a 4 day fast … then a month later I felt compelled to extend my next fast to 7 days pr longer.. I am currently on Day 3 nearing day 4 later today and I feel great with no hunger, and a deep desire to keep fasting until my body says eat. I attribute my success in overcoming the addictive cravings to Dr Jamnadas “ You can do this, you’re not hungry….you can fast a month if want… your body can handle it”.
And, you know what?? This doctor is correct… I am just taking it one day at a time… I am curious how much healing will come to my joints, veins in legs .! I’d rather heal the issues naturally than with surgery or treatments. My body and will is strong… thank you DrJamnadas for the “Go AHEAD, Do IT!! -It won’t hurt you!

Been doing this routine for many years now. It’s a game changer. You get to have large meals when you eat. You don’t have to restrict food groups unless you want to. I can keep a large amount of muscle with low BF. When you try it and get used to it you will then understand that this is the way humans were meant to eat.

This is not sustainable. You'll soon start to burn through your muscles and bones.
@@superbchannel3167 I wish I could blast a pic on here right now. I’m 185 with a 6 pack and more muscular than I have ever been doing any other type of “diet” i’m savagely ripped right now. I’m on year 10 of different fasting routines. 36 every Monday never changes tho. I will reply back if my muscle and bones ever take a shit on me. But I mean I’m years in bro. You have to know how to balance your intake to your output. It’s not easy to figure out but I’m there.
I just started learning about fasting. I went from eating every two hours to one meal a day sometimes two. I am getting ready to go on my second 36 hour fast. I need these videos for inspiration! Thank you to both of you. 😉
I've noticed that the videos help you mentally focus and get you back to fasting mood. It's awesome 👌.
u watched this 2 hours of crap, if u dont want to eat dont freakin eat, big deal
@@georgegoble6054 🤣🤣🤣 right lol I was like wait you want people to go how long without food lol 😆 I get it but geeze that's a long time
@@georgegoble6054 the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak...
Mind body soul spirit is one, gluttonous and obesity is bondage... Food addiction is real!
My body doesn't like junk food or artifical sugar it fattens up when I consume so
I began fasting 2 yrs ago, started small and built up. I lost 60 pounds, reversed pre diabetes, lowered blood pressure and came off all meds. Currently I fast 20 hrs a day, monday through friday and do a 48 hr fast every weekend. I also do a few 3 -5 day fast per yr. It works and it isn't nearly as hard as it sounds.
Very impressive, thanks for sharing your success! I need to learn this in a correct healthy eating choices way, for getting my health to a ideal state. Exciting!
Blimey - that sounds a bit full on!! Moderation. By just skipping breakfast I do an 18hr fast every day. At the weekend I have my first meal a bit later to factor in socialising with friends and having a life.
Wow, did you lose muscle?
I listened Dr. Peter Attia with Tim talking about people do 18/6 hours fasting may lose muscle mass. So I started to worry about it, because I do 18/6 fasting
Do you eat the minimum recommended amount of 2000 calories/day during your feeding or do you just listen to your body?
I can confirm, that my skin looks amazing even after weightloss. I feel energized, fit, healthy & happy. Fasting is indeed healing. Not only your body, but your soul is blooming. I feel a.m.a.z.i.n.g.
How old are you
What fasting style did you
Dr. Jamnadas saved my life. I went to him regarding my heart issues and his very thorough exam uncovered kidney cancer which I had to address immediately. I’m fine now and am looking forward to addressing my heart issues with this great physician. Thank you!
Another brilliant conversation. Over the last few months I’ve started going about 14 hours without food & having eaten breakfast all my life (60+) I haven’t found it nearly as hard as I imagined. So far I haven’t gone to 18 or 24 hours but I hope to try it. I’ve also drastically reduced processed food & added sugar & increased plant diversity while still having some meat, fish, eggs & dairy. All “low fat” products have gone. I’ve lost about 10lbs & knee pain I’d had for 3 years has greatly reduced. I assume that’s partly down to weight loss but also less inflammation. Very empowering information thanks!
First time I did a 24 I broke down in my truck and forgot all about my hunger.
I now try to make sure I’m busy for those final hours.
Can you kindly explain from when you start counting the hours? from last meal or from morning? like you said if you have fasted 12 hours it means you did not eat breakfast and lunch, finally at 6:00 PM you break your fast?
@@KidusRufaelTube I usually finish my evening meal about 7.30 - 8.00pm then don’t normally have anything till about 10am which is often just lemon juice in warm water or bone broth. I also try to drink plenty of plain water but that’s easier in summer!
@@KidusRufaelTube
From last meal.
I might eat before bed at 0:00 and awake at 8 having already done 8 hours fasting.
It is now no problem at all to wait til 16:00 or later to eat.
That meal then is my break-fast.
That’s my routine.
A typical 24 is when I manage to not eat after, say 19:00. I go to bed then waiting till 16:00 is no problem with only 3 hours left to keep busy.
It’s always a punching the air moment.
I do one every month and when I’ve not it’s when I’ve taken my eye off the ball.
Good luck.
@@KidusRufaelTube
Also. My stomach seems to shrink after around 2 weeks. I’ve just done 16 hours and ate a banana and sandwich.
I’m completely full for now when without fasting I’d need more than that.
Love hearing the health suggestions of Dr Jamnadas. He has so much information and I found this so helpful in my fasting journey. I had to make a choice between going bariatric or doing a fast. Then I made a choice. It’s all about the mind. I am a female 47 yrs old suffering from arthritis and overweight. Did a water fast 7 days and lost and went from 179 to 169. 6 weeks later I have only gained about 2 pounds back. Getting ready to do another 7 day fast. Its also all in the mind guys. My inflammation reduced dramatically. And to this day I move around just fine, have more energy and no pain in my joints. Also taking care of what I eat. Praise Jesus!!!
Why don’t you try alternative tastings like 16:8 or 20:4 or even alternate day fasting? Then you don’t have to worry about the weight coming back or doing it for 7 days. Just a suggestion.
I'm currently doing a 7 day fast... on Day 5... love it! I am exercising throughout - today I ran 5 miles and am getting ready to jump on my rebounder... I also take a sauna every day to aid detox
Running increases crp we are not meant to run. Take walks instead.
@@Jacobs_Travailwe ran for food
Dr Pradip is my hero. Due to his persuasive, gentle and friendly youtube videos, I finally went in on IF. Glad to say its saved my life. I have been doing it for last couple of years. Still, I got high cholesterol and pre-diabetic sugar (since I would eat junk and drink abit during weekends).
next steps: stop weekend bad habits and check how it goes after 3-4 months.
Though I have been doing 16:8 and 18:6 Intermittent fasting for over 4 years, I've decided to dedicate myself to more extended fasts this year. Since Jan 3, I've been doing mostly 42-48h fasts every weekend. Only two weekends I did 25h fasts but otherwise, I've been doing well! With keto, IF and extended fasting, I've lost 20lbs in 6 weeks. Started my 48h fast this morning. So many people need to be educated about the power of fasting. All they think they know is 'you are starving yourself'. They don't understand autophagy, BDNF, reduction of inflammation, gut biome and mitochondrial repair.
Very well said. You covered it the key points. Additionally, growth hormone has also shown to increase, which works wonders with resistance training. Much leaner body for sure.
Been doing them for over 20 years, gradually went from few days to 70 days. Still struggling due to M.E., but I can feel benefits, and sense I have given myself another 13-15 years of life, presuming nothing else happens to me. Looking forward to back healing fatigue, so that I can feel true benefits of these fasts and the nutritional aids I have used. Real, deeper benefits of fasting come after almost a week, and this is when we can expunge any faecal matter that is encrusted in our colons and digestive system. It is vital to completely cleanse these areas, otherwise you are always going to be vulnerable to disease, and inefficient digestive and absorption processes, along with allergies and food intolerances. Author of Ph Miracle spoke of this too, and explains well why to do a week at least at some point. When you fast longer, you have to be much more careful in the reintroduction of food. I start with some psyllium husks first, for I have gone without them and used soup, and suffered badly with stomach ache, so use the psyllium if you go for longer fasts. along with 2-3 days of water melons. This is the art of fasting long periods, the art of coming off them, for this is when the body tells you it wants food, but too much too early can be dangerous, and it is the only real danger for almost all people.
@@nialloneill5097 how do you prepare the physillium husk. I have the powder
@@lchin2187 A rough guideline is that a Table spoon is used for a full glass of water. You don't need that much though, and when excess is left too long, if oft sets into a hard jelly. You can still take it as a gel, but better to have about a quarter of glass of water, and add a tea spoon for each use. I take this amount before anything I eat, and never an issue, although the longer the fast, the more minimal is the food size and type you can eat, If you look around on the web there are guidelines, which I think is one day for each week, you should just use psyllium and water melon. When I have done over one month, the stomach becomes very small, and that's when you have to be careful and patient. The psyllium is the best help there is, and soon as I feel stomach ache coming I run for it!!! Wish you well with that. Andrew Norton Webber has lots of material on fasting and distilled water by the way, and my last note is that the water we take is vital for our blood, which is the bridge for the soul. Organic vegetable juice is best water, as this contains organic minerals, due to process called iontophoresis, rather than inorganic which is hard on body and can collect in arteries and harden them, as well as stones. This can be topped up with distilled water extracted from a small cheap distiller for £150, see Amazon. Norman Walker has some very nice little books on these topics, and built the first juicer. He lived to 106, when most died by about 70 back then. SO SPEAKS FOR ITSELF WHAT TO DO!!!
You will get wrinkles in your late 60’s or in your 70’s
Great information. Here is what I experienced recently. I was working out on daily basis, doing intermittent fasting, eating whole foods, avoiding sugars and my BP was still going through the roof, which left me very confused. I did fasting once on a while,but wasn't very serious about it. I will break it in the middle, or" cheat" with some light meal. Last summer I contracted covid and got very sick. Wasn't able to eat for little over a week. After then I had appetite only for apples. So the following week I ate apples and drank only tea .Then I checked my BP and omg, it was normal! So I know fasting works in amazing way, even though my fasting was forced by sickness.
Blessings in disguise story.. thank you for sharing 🙏
Similar happened to me 6 wks ago when I caught a virus. I believe it was either Pneumonia or Covid (still awaiting blood test results) but it floored me for over a week . My body ached all over, I could barely stand up, lost my appetite and sense of taste. I managed to eat a little fruit once a day, kept up my daily vitamin supplements and drank only water.
During that week in bed I watched many RUclips videos about health, diet, fasting and the crap we put into our bodies. It was an education. After 10 days, I weighed myself to find I had lost 15lbs from 190lbs. I am 67yrs old.
Now fully recovered, but to maintain my lower weight, I've changed my food intake to one meal a day, started intermittent fasting, cooking from scratch, no processed foods and definitely - NO SUGAR.
It’s like your body knows what to do when there’s something wrong! The hormone that causes hunger wasn’t produced to help you heal faster….. fasting is amazing I have been fasting for over 20yrs and never get sick and I’m not too skinny
This is such an amazing and honest video. I am over weight, I work shift work in a pretty stressful line of work. The doctor said it perfectly. I’m not a slave to my habits, I have no excuses, It’s my life and I have to make the decision…I’ve been testing IF for the past year with great results but often relapsed. I am on day 3 of a 7 day fast….I’ve made the decision! God bless you all!
Best of luck.
Congratulations!! You’ll never regret it.
@@JenylovesIndia update on my health journey. I have lost 25 pounds while intermittent fasting. This life style really works.
@@astrosguy it really does work the whole world should try fasting. Also when you eat some cheat foods some days you don't feel guilty or put on weight why? Because you're fasting 😂 I do like 20/4 daily which is good cause I'm 60 kg or 65 at times the most I've ever been is 69kg (11 stone) as a teen thank God and I now eat whatever I want and remain the same 😂 because I fast keep it up hun 👍
TEARFULLY APPRECIATIVE of both of you for your true dedication to wellness. And making the goal of coming off medications an actual reality. When this is brought up to most providers, patients are labeled as non-compliant or medical rebels for having the audacity to be medically empowered. YOU ARE BOTH AMAZING!!!!
I’ve been watching Dr Pradip’s videos for a few months now and they have made a massive impact on my life. Thanks to Dr Pradip, fasting is now a regular part of my life.
I am a woman had a 99% blockage in my left descending artery and had two stents back in 2004. I just came across these videos yesterday and have been watching them all day. I’ve only had one meal per day since yesterday although it wasn’t necessarily all healthy. I’m going to do this fasting as I want to get off all my meds. It’s best for me not to tell anyone I’m going to do this as I already got a negative remark from my neighbor.
you should have somebody in your corner, even if its an online support group or your GP or a family member or friend. When you have lots of heal problems and you make a major change its always worth having someone know whats going on, just in case the information is needed.
Good luck with your change and improving your existence! i'm rooting for you!
Great Job!!! You got this!
@@instathrill8845 My brother is aware and I see my Cardiologist in two days. Lost 13 lbs so far!
@@carolstefan7662 that’s fantastic! Well done you, all the best for the future!
@@carolstefan7662 wow! That is wonderful! Congratulations and keep going on your journey to better health. And I totally agree about not telling certain people. I have told my husband to NOT tell anyone I am doing intermittent fasting. I am about four to five weeks in and have lost about 6-7 lbs. so far!
I started fasting about a month ago. It has really helped me to stop thinking about food all day long. I did my first ever three day fast and I was amazed how great I felt. I never thought I could do it. I am down to my goal weight, and I know I can do this for life. I am currently eating in a 6 hour window, and I eat healthy meals during that window. I use to eat all day long, never eating meals, just snacking all day.
Awesome job My Beloved 🥰
How did you get past day 2? Just power through it? I have always had trouble getting through day 2, after about 40 or so hours. I'm like 30 pounds too heavy, so i have plenty of reserves, lol.
To me half a day fasting is already heavy 😄
Great for you. My maiden name is McVan.
I did fasting for two days then I broke... Again I started again same thing happened ... I don't know how to continue....
I want to do 7 days of fast ...... please help
I had started OMD as it's more convenient for me. I don't feel hungry until about 5pm. This gives me the opportunity to buy the required ingredients on my way home from work and to cook the dishes that I enjoy in the evening. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my weight had lowered from 86kg to 74kg over 10 months.
I LOVE U BOTH!!! Both passionate docs!!! If all doctors were like you--we'd have no DIS-ease!
Ii i9 oi iii9iii
Oi
Iii
The world needs MORE doctors like this!!❤️ So much incredible information🤯 EVERY doctor should watch this and study what he is saying!
A real doctor! That cares about the whole wellbeing of his patients !
I have a sugar addiction which I'm trying to overcome. I started wild water swimming, and I'm starting fasting, and telling myself that I deserve to thrive. A lot of what is being sold as food is poison. I continually tell myself that I deserve better, self love, that my body deserves good health, good nutrition.
How are you doing Barbara?
12:00 What is the body supposed to do!
My wife and I did a 40 day lemon juice fast 2 years ago. We were fasting from a Believer Christian point of view. On day 37 of that fast this video came to us and we were just amazed at the "complete care of the body" let the body do what it is designed to do. We lost weight and then because of a very crazy situations got off this pattern of eating one meal/day. We are back on it since January 2024 and immediately we have lost 15 pounds, clothes are more comfortable and it is so amazing to just eat all the healthiest food and realize it is less expensive!
God bless these men to speak boldly and continually for good health!
This is the very First time I heard Anyone talk about what I call the ‘No food high.’ After two days, hunger leaves. After six days, it’s sort of a euphoria. Not eating has always been a grief coping mechanism for me 🥰
I love the passion this doctor has for his craft and helping the health of his patients.
I practiced alternate day fasting (36 hr fast)-(ADF)-(Monk fasting) for an entire month. I felt incredible! BP dropped, bloating disappeared, weight fell off, mental clarity through the roof, and on feeding days it felt like my body just absorbed the meals like it was nothing. I did not follow any particular diet on feeding days.
These two doctors have divine wisdom teaching us to control and discipline our mindset from food addiction. Food addiction is a slave mentality that leads to severe diseases. Fasting is a healthy way of getting rid of so much toxic things from our body. I fast two times a week and i feel so good, i don't take medicines. I hope that more people around the Globe watch your videos. So people out there listen to this instead of taking pills all the time. God bless these two doctors, keep spreading your videos to save life. Thank you. 🙏💓💓
