I’m fasting now, I’m doing 48-72 hours every week. So far I feel great slightly more energetic than usual. It’s all about willpower and commitment. Goodluck everyone
Good for you! I'm doing a 7-day fast and I'm sooo hungry right now. I was thinking of maybe cutting it to 72 hours so that I can eat, and do a 72 hour fast each week.
There are only benefits from fasting. And the best part is you don't get hungry anymore like you used to do, when you were eating carbs. No more crashes, ups and downs. Calmness follows, super sharp mind, natural high, normalised blood pressure, fat burning effect, positive mood, lots of energy, no inflammations, better sleep,great for the heart, brain, joints all organs. What's not to like? I mean. Hello. Life is wonderful.
I have been fasting since Sunday evening. My goal was 3 days but I fasted for 3 days last week; so I am going for 5 days this time, until Friday evening. I feel great!!
Fasting and keto is working great for me (50 yr male)...I'm much happier with my body and I no longer need my daily red bulls! Thank you for all the great videos!
Fasting is God's gift. So are great teachers like Dr. Berg. My experience is once mitochondria are fat-adapted through keto you can fast as long as you like. Recently fasted 10-days, could have easily continued but stopped to be prudent because I'm in my ninth decade. Some of the greatest benefits from fasting are spiritual.
Another wonderful thing that people don't mention is how great food taste after you've been fasting 18 to 20 hours also your stomach really shrinks when you do omad so you can't eat more
A word of warning though. If you fast for like 36h, take it slow to start eating again. Having a large meal after a fast like that isn't dangerous ( it's not refeeding syndrome) , but it's just really unpleasant.
It has done many things for me but what I am most happy about is how I can stuff myself after 18 hours and I have absolutely no bloating. I used to suffer from very bad IBS. Cured.
Thank you so much Dr. Berg. I do alternate day fasting and I no longer get hungry on my fasting days. Glory to God for you Dr. Berg and your whole family!❤
DarthNoshitam Yes, there is a need. People are glorifying the creation but not the Creator. Noah preached the whole time he was building the ark but no one listened. Then the flood came. The ark (Jesus Christ) is going to take his bride away from the coming wrath. Time is running out
Thank for the very informative video. I am a Muslim and we fast 30 days every year. It’s a must as per Islam and I am surprised how beneficial fasting is , which we do every year . Thanks to Allah 🤲🏻
This works. All of these benefits are true. I've learned the difference between craving and hunger. I feel so much better when I fast. I'm down 34lbs. Spend way less on food overall. When I eat I enjoy without guilt. OMAD.
My blood pressure was going up like crazy so I decided to walk 5-8 miles a day and do the fasting with first meal at 11 and last one at 6. Most of my carb comes from rice( Vietnamese thing), but just 2 tbls of cooked rice. No more fruits except blueberries. I’ve lost 4 lbs in a week. My blood pressure is normalized and my energy is great.
I am a fan of intermittent fasting but I don't exclude carbs. I reckon it's takes about a month to really be comfortable with 16:8 but once you are there it's so easy. Good work Dr Berg.
@@Mm-jz5ku 98% home cooked whole foods lchf-diet combined with IF (various protocols), with no wheat and added sugar. But i would say lowering my calorie intake and keeping a laser focus is the main reason for weight loss. For beginners i recommend start slowly, if you cant maintain the weight loss you will bounce back and gain even more weight! Start with cutting out sugar, transition to 3 meals/day and further transition to 2 meals/day and so on. Good luck!
@@Mm-jz5ku personally (as a 5'9 woman) I average about a pound of meat, a quarter pound of fat and a bunch of low carb vegetation (what veg varies a lot.) _For Maintenance._ If I were doing OMAD for weightloss (which I wouldn't do, I would much rather eat maintenance or a slight surplus and fast at least 42 hours ish) I would have to eat less to see results... And keep eating progressively less as my Metabolism adapted to the lower daily intake.
Amazing explanations. Thank you, Dr. Berg! I fast weekly, mainly for spiritual purposes, and I have found that every time after the fast, I feel stronger, my body muscles seem more toned, I am more alert, and i feel "renewed". Now thanks to you, I understand better the physical benefits of fasting. All the best to you, blessed Dr. Berg.
😅 I legit just realized that I fasted a lot as a child because we were a little poor...not poor poor you know? But meals were definitely far and in between. Don’t feel sad because I am perfectly fine 😆 momma did her best and it was nine of us and she was alone, we ate when hungry not with emotions and out of habit; I didn’t have soda until I went to college and because of that I don’t have a problem ditching soda or any sugary drink because you were lucky to get ice water because that was a big deal lol. Also, when I was little the main event was to go outside and play! And I rarely got sick when I was a child. Children now days eat as soon as they rise out of the bed with bagels, cereal and orange juice. Just making light of it but I can see why I fasting wasn’t that hard for me 😄 but the benefits are very satisfying and the more I learn the more I grow.
Liz pa de Blessings Liz, If you can get Dr Bergs’ book, “The Body Type Diet” it tells you how to get healthy, lose weight and feel great. I started Keto with Doc 16 months ago and was amazed at the difference in my life. My health improved, my Rheumatoid Arthritis, aches and pains disappeared along with depression, lost a tonne of weight, my eyesight even improved. 😱 I got rid of all the Refined Carb’s, ( I’m Celiac and GF foods were nothing but concentrated Carb’s) Polyunsaturated oils, margarine and sugar. At 63 (feel like 15 again😘) I’m in the most spectacular health ever, saving a fortune (money in the bank) not buying the other rubbish. I eat butter, cream, organic bacon, fatty steak, free range eggs and the best of all these great foods. If you can’t afford the book don’t worry as I followed Doc here on RUclips for a few weeks before I got the book. Doc is always teaching and explaining health issues for us, things other Dr’s won’t tell you. They only want to prescribe pills, keep you sick and coming back to fill their bank account. Now I’m filling my own bank account, haven’t seen a Dr in months and never going to again, sticking with Dr Eric, won’t lead you astray. 👏🏻 He’s my godsend!!! 🥰 Hope I helped and not just rambled on, BUT this s life changing. 🤗 Wishing you all the best 🇦🇺 for a healthy future outcome. 😉

Started 16/8 (usually 18/6) IF four weeks ago x2 meals a day. 1.5 weeks into it I unfortunately experienced a terrible gout flare which lasted 12 days. I pushed through and the pain has subsided but it's taking a bit long for the inflammation to reduce on my big toe joint. Even with the gout flare I was able to stay active 3-5 days a week, walking, cycling, and lifting. I'm 6'3" and started IF at 257.8 lbs. Today I weighed in at 241.2 lbs. Hope to keep the trend in the right direction.
I went from 220ibs in about 3months down to 175 and I,m fixing my Barretts esophagus and not taking my medication but it has not been that long without medication for acid reflux that caused my problem so still working on it and fasting is helping !
Below are some foods and beverages you can consume while fasting.👇 Water. Plain or carbonated water contains no calories and will keep you hydrated during a fast. Coffee and tea.

I haven't done intermittent fasting before and started with going down to 2 meals a day and no snacking with a 10 hour break between breakfast and dinner- I feel so much better, all the sugar cravings hav gone and it feels quite amazing as I could not stop the sugar cravings in th past. So I know this really works as my own body is the proof. Thank you
I listen to my body... sometimes won't eat for 24 hours, and usually one meal daily...I get very thin quickly with prolonged fasting. Love the benefits tho. Have a beautiful Blessed day all 🌻
I watched your interview with Ghaida. I don't know how to believe it. You are very kind, this girl exaggerates her words and her psychological state, not membership, but she only wanted to attract the attention of others
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Muslims fast during the day and feast at night. Other doctors and professional fasting experts say that fasting is not a fast until after 36 hours of not eating, otherwise it's simply called 'not eating'
I was afraid to do this since I am at my ideal BMI. I just successfully finished my first 24 hour fast. I felt sad like I was denying myself. But I got passed it and felt fine. I will try 48 hours next.
You got this! Don't forget to do it gradually. Hope these can help as well: ruclips.net/video/BsZbIzk3drY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/YR-z6lw-YCg/видео.html -Dr. Berg's support team
@@Drberg Had to break the fast at 39h. Started to feel very weak, shaking and faint. I don’t now if it was the vitamins I took (zinc&magnesium) or the apple cider vinegar + salt -water I had or the ginger tea i drank few sips, but I had a sudden urge to puke up and my heart beat really hard. After that i was too weak and ”sick” to continue and I started to drink oat milk and ate plum to break the fast and to have some sugar. Now feeling a little bit better. Maybe more intermittent fasting and getting used to ketogenic diet first, then trying again. I did only 4 days intermittent fasting with my normal diet before going into prolonged fasting. Although, during that, I felt great. I even exercised.
I never ate anything sweet but now i recognize that i was eating fruits a lot. I quit fruits for 30 days and am observing a drastic change in my health. Insulin resistance caused malesma which is disappearing these days.
I am vegetarian and have IBS and multiple gallbladder stones, I did fasting and I think I made mistake as I lost hell lot of weight and got deficiency of vitamin B12 and D3 finally started eating again and taking supplements now feeling better.
Starting a 48 - hour fast today. Have done a few before, last time was two weeks ago. It gets easier, been keto for just a few months. Need to stick to it, have felt some benefits.
In Islam we fast every Ramadan for 30 days and also advised to fast ever Monday and Thursdays like the prophet mohamad did..so fortunate to be Muslim....seek knowledge study islam
Fasting is pretty amazing for me. Especially combining with 6,000+ steps a day. Even though Keto/Carnivore has already gotten me down to 132 pounds (I'm 5'6). I started at 172 pounds. I still I.F. once a week, or so. My main initial interest in Keto and fasting was that I used to have hypertension. No more. My heart is now awesome. 74/122 and 54 BPM. - Experiment. The next time you are hungry. Go outside and mow your lawn. The walking, sunshine, and pushing will make your hunger go away. - I will celebrate 1 year on Keto/Carnivore September 20th. A magnificent journey. If you are new to Keto, listen and learn. -
Tom Have been Carnivore for 6 months now and feel absolutely amazing. Have started eating a banana a day lately. Can’t eat greens or salad veg’s, make me sick. It’s surprised me we don’t need vitamins as we get it from the meat we eat. Who thought Vitamin C would come from a cows’ meat? After being brainwashed to eat oranges etc. 🥴
At around 55 to 60 hr when I do a 72hr fast I start to whine when I talk. Cannot stop it,,, except go back to food and the whine will stay until the next day regardless of how much I refeed. Weird. Any ideas of why this happens?
I am 29 years old and diagnosed with stage 1 hypertension and on medication. I'm also overweight at 96kg for a 5'7 guy. Recently, I have also experienced terrible bouts of acid reflux. I used to eat 3 times a day and I believe the reflux is caused by my digestive system getting overworked. When I started intermittent fasting earlier this month, I noticed my BP readings getting better. I now have an average reading of 112/77. It rarely goes higher than 120/80. I am still taking my meds but I'm hoping my dosage will be reduced or even stopped entirely when I visit my doctor next time. I also lost weight. I'm now 3 weeks into IF and shed around 6 kgs. My acid reflux seem to have subsided as well. I'm no longer experiencing chest pains anymore. I haven't shifted to Keto yet. As an Asian, it's hard for me to entirely cut carbs from my diet. But I am slowly making the transition. As Dr. Berg advised in his videos, you need to ease into it. For now my carb intake consists a mix of black and red rice. These are rich in antioxidants and anthocyanins. I entirely cut out refined sugars from my diet. Until I saw Dr Bergs videos, I had no idea refined sugars were silent killers causing lots of diseases. I am doing an 18/6 IF and during fasting I sustain myself by drinking 2 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil and ginger or turmeric tea. I once did a 24 hour fast and loved it. I wish i could take longer fasting windows. However, my medication doesn't allow me to do that at least for now. It's still a long way to go but I found the right path with IF.
Glad to hear you are doing progress. I am 29 years as well, and at 29 you should NOT take BP medications whatsoever man. My doctor wanted me to do that aswell, but hell now. Go the natural way! Are you exercising? If not, go to the gymn 3-5 times a week, do 30 min of resistance training and 30-45 min of cardio (powerwalking/ellipticals/jogging..etc). Studies have shown that after only 3 months of consistent exercising, you can lower your systolic bp by 12 points! Which is more than the medication. So with ZERO sideeffects. Also continue fasting, increas potassium intake, like Dr. Berg says, eat a whole lot of veggies. And I will almost guarantee you, you can get out of those toxic bp meds in just a couple of months.
This is amazing. Your teaching techniques are so easy to understand. But if you would attach the pdf with the transcripts then it would have been great for non-native english speaking people.
Very informative! That's why when I am fasting in the month of RAMDAN I feel more fresh and active. In Islam we been advised to not eat until you feel very hungry and never eat with full stomach means always leave your stomach bite empty
Hello there Dr Berg. Excellent presentation, very informative. These videos r helping millions to understand diet and it’s affect. Thank u for sharing.
I am on day 2 my target is to lose 21 Kg I started my weight was 118 kg with keto diet and 1 hours walking and some jogging my weight 102 kg now with fasting and water and coffee i am 100 kg (Day 2)
I'm 60 years old. I'm 6' and 178 lbs now. I was 250 lbs in 2012. I started my first in my life 72 hours Fasting from yesterday. I don't feel hungry at all.
@@ninawildr4207 at this momentum I'm fasting 48 hours and I don't feel hungry. I'm going to the beach tomorrow and after tomorrow and I will get my energy from Sun ☀, Pacific ocean water and clean air. I will try to finish my Fasting at 8 pm on Monday which will be 120 hours Fasting.
I'm doing IF this month while I recover from foot surgery. I feel this will help me heal faster and also control my weight because I'm less mobile. My plan is to continue IF after.
Dr. Berg, I just started doing OMAD two weeks ago and for the past three days. I have been having heartburn all day.. I am 33 years old and never had heartburn in my life..
I have been recently diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis and I have been following your content from past two years. I have a hope that keto diet helps in this situation as well, but couldn't find much information on your channel regarding keto benefits and Ankylosing Spondylitis. Can you please share some light on Ankylosing Spondylitis and Keto benefits?

I listen to my body... sometimes won't eat for 24 hours, and usually one meal daily...I get very thin quickly with prolonged fasting. Love the benefits tho.
Have a beautiful
Blessed day all 🌻
A king of future medicine doctor has heart ❤️ like gold. Bless his family and his beautiful wife !!!!
Another great benefit is that you will get better sleep. Great video, very helpful and keep up the good work, Doctor.
Can you please Describe what kind of vitamins that I should take while I do fasting diet please thank you so much I love to watch your video
Very informative and inspiring. Thanks doc.
I watched your interview with Ghaida. I don't know how to believe it. You are very kind, this girl exaggerates her words and her psychological state, not membership, but she only wanted to attract the attention of others
another amazing pillar of Islam that has been practised for hundreds of years way before any even knew what fasting was.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Muslims fast during the day and feast at night. Other doctors and professional fasting experts say that fasting is not a fast until after 36 hours of not eating, otherwise it's simply called 'not eating'
I was afraid to do this since I am at my ideal BMI. I just successfully finished my first 24 hour fast. I felt sad like I was denying myself. But I got passed it and felt fine. I will try 48 hours next.
Watching these help me mentally through my first day of fasting 🙏🏼 now at 25h of fasting and still hungry
You got this! Don't forget to do it gradually. Hope these can help as well:

@@Drberg Had to break the fast at 39h. Started to feel very weak, shaking and faint. I don’t now if it was the vitamins I took (zinc&magnesium) or the apple cider vinegar + salt -water I had or the ginger tea i drank few sips, but I had a sudden urge to puke up and my heart beat really hard. After that i was too weak and ”sick” to continue and I started to drink oat milk and ate plum to break the fast and to have some sugar. Now feeling a little bit better.
Maybe more intermittent fasting and getting used to ketogenic diet first, then trying again. I did only 4 days intermittent fasting with my normal diet before going into prolonged fasting. Although, during that, I felt great. I even exercised.
Thank you for this video, short and concised. Everything in one short video about fasting.
Thanks for watching!
I never ate anything sweet but now i recognize that i was eating fruits a lot. I quit fruits for 30 days and am observing a drastic change in my health. Insulin resistance caused malesma which is disappearing these days.
I am vegetarian and have IBS and multiple gallbladder stones, I did fasting and I think I made mistake as I lost hell lot of weight and got deficiency of vitamin B12 and D3 finally started eating again and taking supplements now feeling better.
This was too fascinating too awesome
Starting a 48 - hour fast today. Have done a few before, last time was two weeks ago. It gets easier, been keto for just a few months. Need to stick to it, have felt some benefits.
Thank you doctor berg your intermittent fasting videos helped me get back to life..
Thank you Dr. Berg. I've been fasting for 2 yrs now. 4/20 version. And you covered every area. Love your vids!!
In Islam we fast every Ramadan for 30 days and also advised to fast ever Monday and Thursdays like the prophet mohamad did..so fortunate to be Muslim....seek knowledge study islam
Fasting is pretty amazing for me. Especially combining with 6,000+ steps a day. Even though Keto/Carnivore has already gotten me down to 132 pounds (I'm 5'6). I started at 172 pounds. I still I.F. once a week, or so. My main initial interest in Keto and fasting was that I used to have hypertension. No more. My heart is now awesome. 74/122 and 54 BPM.

Experiment. The next time you are hungry. Go outside and mow your lawn. The walking, sunshine, and pushing will make your hunger go away.

I will celebrate 1 year on Keto/Carnivore September 20th. A magnificent journey. If you are new to Keto, listen and learn.

Are you taking a multi vitamin for the vitamins you're not getting from fruits and vegetables?
Thanks for info 🙌😁
Tom Have been Carnivore for 6 months now and feel absolutely amazing. Have started eating a banana a day lately. Can’t eat greens or salad veg’s, make me sick. It’s surprised me we don’t need vitamins as we get it from the meat we eat. Who thought Vitamin C would come from a cows’ meat? After being brainwashed to eat oranges etc. 🥴
EYE OF GOD ~ Don’t eat bananas! You can get potassium from avocado. Bananas increase insulin!
When you’re fasting 7 days deep💪, these videos are even more enjoyable. Thanks, Doc
Awesome video Doc ! 🤜🏻🤴🏼🙌🥇
I planned on doing a 5 to 7 day fast, I'm on day 10 now and feeling great. I'm going for 30 to 60 days now!
Again, You are the best teacher! THANK YOU!
I like to remind myself of this when I am fasting.
↖️ Did my first 48 hour fast earlier this week and I loved it! We plan to do a prolonged fasting each month and I’ll be doing 72 hours in October! 💕
At around 55 to 60 hr when I do a 72hr fast I start to whine when I talk. Cannot stop it,,, except go back to food and the whine will stay until the next day regardless of how much I refeed. Weird. Any ideas of why this happens?
I am 29 years old and diagnosed with stage 1 hypertension and on medication. I'm also overweight at 96kg for a 5'7 guy. Recently, I have also experienced terrible bouts of acid reflux. I used to eat 3 times a day and I believe the reflux is caused by my digestive system getting overworked.
When I started intermittent fasting earlier this month, I noticed my BP readings getting better. I now have an average reading of 112/77. It rarely goes higher than 120/80. I am still taking my meds but I'm hoping my dosage will be reduced or even stopped entirely when I visit my doctor next time.
I also lost weight. I'm now 3 weeks into IF and shed around 6 kgs. My acid reflux seem to have subsided as well. I'm no longer experiencing chest pains anymore.
I haven't shifted to Keto yet. As an Asian, it's hard for me to entirely cut carbs from my diet. But I am slowly making the transition. As Dr. Berg advised in his videos, you need to ease into it. For now my carb intake consists a mix of black and red rice. These are rich in antioxidants and anthocyanins.
I entirely cut out refined sugars from my diet. Until I saw Dr Bergs videos, I had no idea refined sugars were silent killers causing lots of diseases.
I am doing an 18/6 IF and during fasting I sustain myself by drinking 2 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil and ginger or turmeric tea. I once did a 24 hour fast and loved it. I wish i could take longer fasting windows. However, my medication doesn't allow me to do that at least for now.
It's still a long way to go but I found the right path with IF.
Awesomeee
Glad to hear you are doing progress.
I am 29 years as well, and at 29 you should NOT take BP medications whatsoever man. My doctor wanted me to do that aswell, but hell now.
Go the natural way! Are you exercising? If not, go to the gymn 3-5 times a week, do 30 min of resistance training and 30-45 min of cardio (powerwalking/ellipticals/jogging..etc).
Studies have shown that after only 3 months of consistent exercising, you can lower your systolic bp by 12 points! Which is more than the medication. So with ZERO sideeffects.
Also continue fasting, increas potassium intake, like Dr. Berg says, eat a whole lot of veggies.
And I will almost guarantee you, you can get out of those toxic bp meds in just a couple of months.
My favourite topic!
Thank you for watching!
This is amazing. Your teaching techniques are so easy to understand. But if you would attach the pdf with the transcripts then it would have been great for non-native english speaking people.
Good information. Thank you Dr Berg
Hey, thank you!
I love the anticancer effects of boosted cell apoptosis😍
Awesome thank you for sharing. Doctor
You’re amazing Dr Berg
Thank you
YOU ARE GREAT DR
Very informative! That's why when I am fasting in the month of RAMDAN I feel more fresh and active. In Islam we been advised to not eat until you feel very hungry and never eat with full stomach means always leave your stomach bite empty

Thanks for informing it’s helpful
You're the best Dr Berg! Thank you!
Very glad to be of help.
I just Love This Guy
I'm doing IF this month while I recover from foot surgery. I feel this will help me heal faster and also control my weight because I'm less mobile.
My plan is to continue IF after.
I'm on my 4th day of fasting and this video pops up
Thanku doctor, love from India
I wish I would have known how easy a 5 day fast is. Once you make 36 hours ... it’s so easy.
Dr. Berg, I just started doing OMAD two weeks ago and for the past three days. I have been having heartburn all day.. I am 33 years old and never had heartburn in my life..
Try two table spoons of apple cider vinegar in 4oz of water. 2 times a day
Acidity Or gas form
A little physiology knowledge goes a long way. It's interesting stuff.
Thank you! You’re my favorite doctor
Watching this, because I'm on my peak of breaking my fast whooo
I have been recently diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis and I have been following your content from past two years. I have a hope that keto diet helps in this situation as well, but couldn't find much information on your channel regarding keto benefits and Ankylosing Spondylitis.
Can you please share some light on Ankylosing Spondylitis and Keto benefits?
Thank you doc.. More love from India 🇮🇳
Can you please make a video explaining whether prolonged fasting slows your metabolism? So many people are telling me it will.
Thank u for existing doc
