    Fasting: 4 types of Fasts and How Often to Do Each- Thomas DeLauer…There are 4 types of fasting that you can rotate through and get different kinds of benefits, depending on what you're after. We're going to talk about types of fasting that boost metabolic benefits and body composition. We're going to talk about another kind of fasting that you can rotate in and out of that's going to help you with cellular rejuvenation and overall recycling cells. Then we're going to about another kind of fasting that's specifically good for the gut. And then, lastly, we're going to talk about another kind of fasting that is very extreme, known as dry fasting. This is your overall encyclopedia of the different kinds of fasting, and how you can utilize them, and how often you should be utilizing each and every one.
    All right, let's talk about the first one. The first one is one you've heard of before, intermittent fasting. Now, intermittent fasting is doing shorter periods of fasting, relatively frequently. So, in this case, I'm talking about doing like a 16 hour fast, with an eight hour eating window, or maybe an 18 hour fast, with a six hour eating window, or somewhere in that general ballpark. This is the kind of fast that you should be doing three to four times per week, hence the word intermittent fasting. Some people like to fast every single day, but honestly, I'm a proponent of just fasting three to four times per week so it maintains its effectiveness. Intermittent fasting is best for body composition. Sure, there are a multitude of other benefits when it comes down to brain energy, when it comes down to autophagy, and all kinds of things. But, by and large, the standout benefit is body composition.
    So, I want to reference a study that helps make some complete sense of this. This study was published in the Journal of Translational Medicine. And it took a look at 34 resistance trained subjects. What it wanted to measure was what happened when you compared subjects that were fasting, doing an intermittent fasting protocol, versus subjects that were not, that had the same amount of muscle, had the same amount of fat, and were eating roughly the same amount of food. The results were pretty crazy. What they did is, they took these subjects and divided them into two groups. One group consumed their food at 1:00 PM, at 4:00 PM, and 8:00 PM. This was the fasting group, intermittent fasting. The other group consumed their meals at 8:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 8:00 PM. So basically, they were eating standard meals throughout the course of the day, like a regular diet.

    😍🥰😁 Maaaan I'm so happy I discovered fasting... Before fasting I felt like I was dying. my body was rapidly deteriorating. High blood pressure, high triglycerides, arthritis in my knees and shoulder, Inflammation, depression with minor suicidal thoughts and I'm only 34... In as little as 4 months with a mixture of Intermittent and prolonged fasting I went from 225lbs to 185lbs(I'm 5"9 by the way) High blood pressure 100% GONE, high triglycerides levels 100% GONE, arthritis 100% GONE, Inflammation 100% GONE, depression 100% GONE, sucidal thoughts 100% GONE!!! My doctor said " whatever is you've been doing KEEP IT UP!!!" it's safe to say this fasting journey saved my life 😁🙌🏾

    I understand Thomas needs to protect himself by telling people to talk to their doctors before doing this and that.
    But most doctors still tell people to spread lots of small meal throughout the day, and weirdly most of them don't even understand the benefits of fasting, and will tell you that's bad for you.
    Now imagine telling them about prolonged or even dry fasting, it's very rare you'll find a doctor knowledgeable enough to allow anyone to do that.

You can choose to do what you want until something goes wrong and you go to the Dr and tell them you were fasting so that's the reason when really it was the metabolic disorder and your body wasn't able to adapt fast enough but with some smaller fasts before working up to a prolonged fast you would have been successful and cured your metabolic disease

    @BraykwonTheChef 6 лет назад +7

    Thomas, loves the videos. I lost 120 lbs in 5 months and I believe 80% of my success was due to a prolonged fasting period followed by OMAD lifestyle change. The prolonged fasting period changed how I think about food and it became a smaller part of life. I didn’t stress about when are what I was eating anymore. I just tried to eat enough at the end of the day. Sometimes skipping food until lunch the next day. It feels nice to have control of your appetite and stabilize your ghrelin. Luckily I actually enjoy healthy food, but when I was struggling with life, I ate fast food once a day. 4 McDonald’s burgers, a large fry sometimes two, and a coke/Diet Coke, and still kept all the weight off and actually continued to lose more. I truly believe fasting, and hormone control is the backbone of health and energy utilization. Everything between only stacks the benefits or nullifies them. I also paid attention to what I ate for a while. I ate less carbs, much more Capsaicin, I watched a lot of your videos about food and nutrient utilization which helped me understand the basics of eating, metabolism, and overall body health. I smoked a shit ton of weed too. Sometimes an O a week, which studies have suggested increased your metabolism. It doesn’t make me hungry. I guess it helps me feel balanced. I have a bit of a mood problem lmao I used it to motivate myself and keep myself disciplined. I enjoyed hitting the gym high af. I’ve never enjoyed cardio until I did it high. Your videos also helped me understand how I wanted to train and further my health by using fasting, and a dedicated gym strategy. You’re awesome dude. I appreciate your videos and thank you for sharing the knowledge. You’ve helped change my life.

I tried dry fasting last year and lasted 2 days. Today I am done with day 2 and going on day 3 of dry fasting AFTER water fasting 2 days.

    5:2 dry fasting (with intense workout) is the best option. I did Keto for 2 months, results were amazing, shed off around 50 lbs real fast, then switched to 5:2 dry fasting when I reached the weight I want. Still losing fat, feeling really good, and actually got used to it so I don't feel tired. True, I do lose water mass gained by the carbs I consume. The 5:2 fast I do is not for 24 hours, but 18 hours then I do REALLY low carb (1 or 3 dates, then a chicken breast or steak with veggie salad). And don't forget sparkling water.
    PS. You can remove the intense workout part and it still works, I stopped working out for a month and still losing FAT mass, my muscle mass is (almost) intact.

    Hi Thomas, I've noticed in a few of your videos a few inaccuracies regarding autophagy. Autophagy is a process by which individual cells recycle their intracellular organelles, hence the name auto (self) phagy (consume). The way you're describing it makes it seem like it's some sort of paracrine or endocrine process, which it is not. The great thing about autophagy is that in essence it rejuvenate permanent post-mitotic cells, like neurons, by breaking down and recycling dysfunctional organelles. Anyways, big fan of your content!

    Dry Fasting...from everything you stated it seems to be the ultimate way to fast. My way of thinking is this: how can dry fasting be "extreme" if it's something we are already doing every night while asleep? Just extend your nightly fast a few more hours after awakening and do it as a 16 to 18 hour intermittent fast 3 to 4 days a week as you've recommended for water fasting. What's the harm in that?

    Here are some other benefits to those fasting protocols:
    1. It will help a person increase their will power.
    2. Become more sensitive to insulin.
    3. Become aware of how foods affect them when breaking a fast.
    4. Getting more done in their life, business, housework, ect. since digestion will not be taking up energy and time.
    5. This is related to will power but it will take a person out of their comfort zone, like a cold shower in the morning or muscle confusion in body building.
    Happy fasting everyone! I think the government should declare a day out of every month as a national fasting for health holiday since fasting is in all (if not most) religions.

    Prolonged fasting and liquid fasting, what is the difference?
    Surely during a prolonged fast, the person is only drinking water/tea/coffee/maybe broth, so how is a water fast different?
    Confused!!

    • @robbertou
      @robbertou 4 года назад +7

      With liquid fasts you can have liquids with calories in them, like fruit juice and milk in coffee. Prolonged fasting means that you dont have any calories in your drinks, so only water, black coffee and black tea. Hope this helps

    (Please correct me if I was stupid or made some BIG mistake)
    Day 1/3/5/7/9/11: 22/2 fast (not using antioxidants, using autophagy stimulators)
    I do first one small meal and after one hour a very big meal
    Day 2/4/6/8/10/12: not fasting (lot of antioxidants and autophagy stimulators, things like black coffee and green tea)
    If on keto some fat at the beginning of the day, some proteins at the middle, and more fats at the end of the day (the sandwich theory)
    The amount of calories should be regulated conform if I want to lose, gain or maintain weight
    PS: Days 4 and 10 are actually also liquid fasts (using that marvelous 4 stylish coffees and the bone broth as nutrition)
    Day 13: not eating at all (no antioxidants and a lot of autophagy stimulators, things like black coffee and green tea)
    Day 14: after waking up, you are whit between 30 to 40 hours of fasting, so you need to start first having a small meal whit some proteins in it (if on keto I put the same amount of fat or a little more, but very low to no carbs), after 1 hour I then eat a bigger meal. After I regulate myself, I do as a normal eating day, but eating a lot more (since we want the total calories you eat on the 2 days be the same as if you never fasted the day before)

    @Brainbuster 5 лет назад +5

    There are more than 4 types of fasting. The most important type wasn't even mentioned.
    The most popular (before a couple years ago) was fasting for several days (5 days, 15 days, 40 days, and even 70 days). Many people fast 40 days every year, and have been doing so for decades.
    IF is popular now, and I'm happy about that just because it gets more people fasting (even if only for 12 hours), but a 5 day fast is ten times more powerful--and a 15 day fast is a thousand times more powerful.
    IF is now all over YT, but I remember in 2001 reading books on the amazing benefits of fasting (for 15 days)...books that were written in the 70s and 80s. If it weren't so natural, you'd think the results are miraculous.
    Even before the 70s, all the studies confirmed the life-extending benefit of fasting.
    I encourage you to learn more about fasting--not just watch popular RUclips videos, but dig deeper.

    Hi Tom loving your videos mate. Just a question - while dry fasting you said the body removes hydrogen from fat cells to use with O2 to make water well does this effect how that remaining carbon/oxygen is used? As in does it change how it's stored or change how it's used after hydrogen has been removed? Or will the Fat cells absorb hydrogen ASAP after to make up for it being taken

But honestly, I think the last 2 type of "water" based fasting you're describing here in this video are just to finally push a product that works with fasting. If you're fasting, you don't consume. Period. No need for anything extra. If you want to make a "liquid" intermitting fasting, just drink water during your fasting. Period. Fasting equals no spending money during that period. It's also the beauty of it. Do not push your products for fasting man, you're selling yourself.
