I’m at the end of my first ever 72 hour fast, and feel fine 🤷🏻♂️. Word of advice: DON’T TELL PEOPLE. People lose their minds and can’t wrap their heads around the concept, so just keep it to yourself and save yourself the time, energy, stress and aggro
Yeah I’ve almost freaked out at a couple of my friends who wouldn’t stop telling me it’s dumb to not eat and I don’t tell them anything anymore. They think you have to eat every two seconds or you die apparently
So True. People think you will die if you don't eat for a couple days because they've been conditioned to believe that. Not true at all. Water fasting is a great benefit to our health.
So true ! Stay silent about it , I’m on. Day 2 I took some vitamins , d3, vitamin c and electrolytes. Doing ok not great but pushing through . This is my second time doing a 3 day fast.
@@CătălinaMaria1896 It is healthy so long as you have no existing health conditions that could make it unhealthy. Humans have been fasting since the dawn of time. Research shows a max* of a 3 day water* fast can have many benefits. Sit down.
There's one born every few minutes 😂😂 Bone-broth certainly breaks a fast. Tallow and lard etc is ok to consume so not to break a fast. Dislike 👎 Heard enuff..."do not recommend channel"
I lost so far 24 pounds I do 18 , 20 , 40 and 72 hour fasts in 6 week. I was prediabetic. My reading are lower than 80 when normally I was 108 on the mornings. My father passed away on Christmas day of diabetes complications.... much love to all.
That's how I feel rn only like 12 hours in but I just felt like a bolt of energy and just wanted to start working out! Like some times I have to force myself but this time I just got up and did it, and then I did it again😭🤣
Ahh yes, tell people you are starving yourself because of your delusion of a sky daddy told you to do so, that will make everyone stop questioning your sanity!
You can also just say you are doing it because your doctor recommended it for your health situation. Can't argue with that. I do it for both health and religious reasons.

I've done three 72 hours fasts over the last 2 years. I think they are very good for you. My only advice........never trust a fart after you end the fast!!
Hell, my family gets ansy when I fast or just eat Keto. They're always pushing carbs and desserts on me. I started Keto at 69 y.o. and 250lbs. I'm 74 now, still 75lbs lighter and I lost all my old age symptoms.
I do this once a month every month and it always has wonderful benefits ❤ I always look younger and loose a few pounds once it’s over. The bloating of my stomach goes down. Yes then do keto only diet once eating starts back up. I lost 30 pounds within 4 months doing this when I was younger. Now that I’m 51 it’s harder to loose weight but the fasting still helps cleanse your organs and helps reduce inflammation pain. I never get hunger pains. The water makes me feel full.
I also started for the health benefits, but gaining that level of will power and not being controlled by hunger like you mentioned was a surprisingly powerful bonus.
I am at the end of day two and it’s true about sharing. People don’t know how to accept this and think your going to drop dead right in front of them! Don’t share what you don’t need to tell them.
In the middle of my own 72 hour fast before Thanksgiving. 36 hours in and feeling great. Key is definitely putting a little salt in the water. Keeps the headaches at bay for me.
@@MisterSkitso I break my fast at noon on that day by eatiing some fruit. So its easier on your stomach. I stuck to vegan options maybe a smoothie or whole fruit. I mostly did grapes or a melon. typically that was enough to sustain me for the day because honestly you aren't hungry. Sometimes I would eat later and that would be a salad or some kind of carb, rice or quinioa with some veggies mixed in. I did it for 1 month and lost 22lbs
Bruh, I am on day 3 of my 7-day fast.... the way my mouth watered watching you take that first bite is crazy. 😅Anyways, glad to see others fasting for more than a few hours.
It’s good to note, for anybody who may be wondering, what he’s doing is what some would call a dirty fast. The bone broth has calories which would make it not a clean fast (no caloric intake). There are still benefits of a dirty fast, it’s just worth noting.
It all comes down to calories out vs in. Bone broth "breaks a fast" but not for long, you easily burn through those calories and very quickly since you're not taking anything else in. You literally HAVE to burn your fat stores when you need 2000 (at least) calories per day just to function. 40 damn calories of bone broth does not hurt a fast.
I am regularly doing OMAD (One mean a day) and people really have a wrong perception of hunger, more like that it necessarily has to be unpleasant. I actually quite enjoying the fasting hunger. It feels really different from that junk food starvation that people are used to feel.
@@maccadicky8635 dont be hard on yourself bro. 51 hrs is good. Thats 2 full days. Thats better than most. Some people could never imagine sacrificing food nm, going more than 8 hours lol Build on it my man!
@@aac2289 unfortunately not, I have a fat face too 😂, you have to go for longer for that to happen, I did lose some weight but I didn’t see a physical difference x
I was one of the hardcore skeptics about waterfasting. Long story short, I tried it out. First time only lasted 2 days, I'm sure my body was really stunned at what was going on. 2nd try, it went through 4 days and I only stopped because I had a family gathering (not eating would be considered as sinful as a genocide). It was amazing really. I decided to try it just for weight loss (fat, not muscles) and I didn't expect all the other benefits. I focused better on my job, zero hunger (past 36 hours into the fast), and get this, my skin began to get smoother and the few acnes I had immediately gone poof. Like no acne for months now (I usually get at least 2 acnes monthly). Have fasted for a total of 6 times with average of 4-5 days, and I do it once if not twice a month now. For those interested in the weight loss, it also did me wonder. After 3 months, about 14 kg (mostly fat I'm sure) was dropped. And there are some studies that show fasting doesn't decrease your metabolism, so much much better control after hitting the body weight/fat percentage target. Basically, like ketogenic in principle but for a dude like me who can't be bothered to prep proper meals. Fitness level? Oh damn sure Im fitter than ever, even gained strength in my lifting exercise. Carbs? I do still eat them but definitely not as much as I did before, this definitely gave a reboot to my past horrible appetite.
My first 3 days were good, except I couldn't complete 72 hours, I stopped at 67.5 hours because I took my diabetes meds and got low blood sugar and had to eat something... Now I'm in my second 3 days, it's been 19 hours, I'll see how it goes
Great job overall. Multi-day fasting is no joke. My only beef is with that broth. Technically, that was the end of the fast...10 calories per serving is 10 calories
Technically he’s not fasting , but 10 calories won’t stop he’s body from having the benefits of fasting. He’s ketone levels kept rising, indicated by stable blood glucose levels. That means his blood glucose wasn’t stable due to 10 calories but due to ketone levels rising which rises due to starvation/fasting.
Instead of the broth, use water and a little bit of salt and a little bit of potassium and no more hunger pains and you don't break your fast I add a teaspoon of real lemon juice as well and no more hunger weird add electrolytes no problem
I agree! But maybe it’s fine. I do nothing but water, but I’m learning that people that do extended Fast are using Vitamins, bone broth, salt, etc 💁🏾💁🏾💁🏾❤️
I just started fasting for lunch everyday and I feel much better I’m not sure I could do three days but I love hearing your perspective and experience ☺️🙏🏽
I started working out recently and i wanna try fasting but should i also do workout alongside this type of fasting as i heard many people say that you will faint while working out without any food so i just asked
@@Ken-bh1oz that could be true for some but it is not recommended that you fast and workout at the same time it will make you feel exausted and lethargic. It is better to take walk or mild exercise doesn't hurt👍
@@Ken-bh1oz you can try HIIT and usual walks cause if you push yourself you'll activate cortisol in your body that raises insulin and will make you hungry.
@@Ken-bh1oz I would say just drink 5 protein shakes a day with unsweetened almond milk with my favorite protein powder iso 100 coco pebbles flavor I would drink 5 of those a day when working out I would also put creatine but that is optional because it will make you weight 2 pounds over your actual weight but you build muscle faster and become stronger when you take creatine but it’s. 50/50 with it you’ll loose the 2 pounds when you stop taking the creatine but yea that’s was the ideal diet I did and lost 60 pounds in a month weight lifting 4 times out the week 2 times a day and cardio one day and 2 days of rest.
The four phases include the fed state, early fasting state, fasting state, and long-term fasting state (starvation state). Each phase varies based on the primary source of energy used for the body, as well as how it affects your metabolism and levels of specific hormones.👍

I will begin today a full a 3 day water fasting now because I am frightened to death for some tokens of early developing cancer ( I have a pigmented spot on the skin near my belly and it could be Acanthus Nigricans ,which is likely to be even a token of cancer of some inner organ!).By eating nothing ,but truly nothing besides water I have a slight hope that this pigmented spot will go away and with it also my dread for cancer. May the water fasting and hunger eat out the ill cells of my body and I become well ,for if it do not go away I shall go to undergo medical examinations.

I am 46 hours into my 3-day fast and yesterday I had the worst headache. It is still lingering today. I don't feel hungry but I do want food. lol I'm going to push through and have decided to go ahead and plan out healthy meals for the next 5 days so that when I break the fast, I already know what I'm having. If I can complete this one, I'm planning to try it again next week for health reasons. Hoping to see some positive results.

Hindus have been fasting for more than 3500 years before the quran was written. Now it doesn’t seem to be so special. Why do Hindus fast? According to the scriptures, fasting helps create a blissful bonding between “individual spirit” and “The Supreme Spirit - The God”. The aim of observing fast is to purify the body and mind to acquire divine grace. For the last thousand years, most Hindus celebrate fasting. • To develop God-awareness or become closer to God. • To purify the mind and body. • To celebrate rituals or religious festivals. • To boost stamina and to nourish physical health for long life. • To train the mind and to strengthen the body to endure and to face difficulties and not to give up.
100% true, i realized how much cheaper it is not to eat for 3 days lol. Yeah i'm currently 37 hours in and i find if i get more than 8 hours of sleep i'm actually not hungry at all when i wake up. Yesterday i did black coffee but i'm trying to just go full water today, idk if i'll last on only water since coffee kills my hunger pretty well.
@@brenenfn5020 I look way more fit now, the small love handles that never went away are slowly melting away. I do 72 hours fasts every week starting sunday night at 10pm ending wed 10pm but sometimes i cut it a little short which is fine. I don't ever get any of those headaches anymore and personally i'm not even close to as hungry as i usually am. I just have cravings for like a double cheese burger on the weekends which i endulge on but i literally eat way less than i usually do.
I cant sleep well at all when im hungry Thats the biggest problem I just did a 38 hr liquid diet for a procedure.. And i hate sugar etc but had popsicles jello etc but even though i wasnt overly hungry surprisingly, hunger or not being fed always destroys my ability to sleep and i battle with anxiety and insomnia from time to time or i get a poor nighrs rest How can i overcome the hunger messing with my sleep? I desperately want to try a fast
@@ivanr9408 then again im not big into coffee at all... And i can see how coffee helps kill apetite etc its been well documented. Good for you brother congrats... any pointers for me? Im going to do my first one in the next 2 weeks
@@bingbangboom9008 Drink a lot of water, don't be bored b/c that's when you think about food and eating, exercise, start your fast at 10pm so that when you hit that 24hour mark and want to give up, you just go to sleep and add on another 8-10 hours in your sleep.
I started a 20/4 IF cycle about a year ago. My window opens at 4pm. My hormone spikes usually do not show up at all in the morning, so it's so easy not to eat. Then I lean on keto. Weight stable now for 10 months.
Great vid. I regularly buy and make my own broth when not fasting, however only drink water and some black coffee during any type of fast. Wouldn't the broth be detrimental to the fast as it contains fats and calories thus essentially breaking your fast? I actually finished my 3 day fast today with a cup of homemade beef bone broth before eating food a few hours later 👌🏻
I just finished a 1.5 day fast. It's harder after getting married. Last fast was 40 days, only water. I got really skinny and things were harder but meh. At the end I stuffed my face at 4am so fast I think I formed an esophageal pouch :/ . Stay careful guys.
I did my first 7 day fast a couple months back. Coffee only, plus electrolytes as mentioned. Went well. Will probably do again, perhaps longer. I approached it by reminding myself up front I was trying to improve my health, not jeopardize it; to that end, I would be mindful of how I felt, and resolve to end the fast at any time if I started feeling off.
I did the water fast for 3 days only. My plan was to fast for at least a month. I did not feel hungry at all, and I was feeling so determined to keep going. The third day, I started feeling body ache, no energy, I could hardly get up. The third day was my monthly doc appointment, when they checked my blood pressure, it was extremely low, he asked me if I was drinking enough water and I was probably drinking more than I should...They run an EKG, it was fine. he said to try adding pink salt and ACV to my water which I was doing already. Driving back from his office, I started feeling extremely exhausted, blurry vision, I parked somewhere as I couldn't see. I had to get something sweet, thinking my blood pressure dropped again (it does drop sometimes) Today is my second day after the 3days water fast and my stomach has been hurting and messed up. Can someone please tell me what was I doing wrong? why my stomach is hurting? I want to pick up where I left and fast again but I'm anxious about the whole experience. Any advice? I Admit that I didn't do a lot of research about the subject and didn't know much. Thank you!
Just do 3 days then or one day a week. As long as you are fasting then don't panic if you can't do 10 days in a row. Everyone starts out wanting to do alot of days , sometimes you achieve it sometimes you don't. Just as long as you fast frequently and you are moving towards your goal be happy.
I'm 51,I've been an athlete my whole life,I still have a 450lb squat,when I do a 3 day fast I do water,diet soda,and coffee with cream and sugar,it works for me
Currently in the middle of a 3-day fast, tomorrow will be day 3 and then I will stop at 5 p.m. . I probably should be testing my ketones and glucose. The key for me is to maintain the minerals and vitamins. so everything you take I take plus a lot more. I don't do any broth during the actual fast. I do use sea salt if I'm really hungry I'll put some on my tongue and chase it with water. Thank you. So many health benefits, more people should do it
I did this fasting. And I am a 3-5 cups of coffee drinker a day. But, I did motivate myself hard and survive those 3 days without kafein and anything else. Just pure water. No nightmare. A lil bit tired and weak feeling are expected. So, I move on. Now, I don't need kafein anymore to feel energized. I stop eating a lot of sweets. Fasting make me realize I don't need all of that and still can feeling good. Most of the time, I found people fail to do the 3 days fasting is because they do it with not full commitment. They give themselves just a lil bit slack. Like that kafein withdrawal prejudice. But, that lil bit and tiny slack is enough to ruin all of the effort. Why jeopardize 72 hours of efforts just for some unhealthy slack? That's my way of thinking when finally and successful did the 3 days water fasting.
i’m almost done with the first day of a 5 day fast and i’m not even hungry because i’ve been good on water and electrolytes but i can’t stop thinking about a fat plate of mcdonald’s right now. i’m currently 175 pounds and i hope to be near 165 by the end of this with a good amount of cardio
Im at around 250 pounds, I don't look quiet like it, but one can clearly see that I am overweight in that sense. I'm at hour 48 of my water fast now, I never did anything like this before and I can't even tell why I did it. Something just made me do it spontaneously after midnight 2 days ago watching youtube. My eating habits are very bad. I love to basically eat all night until 2am when I go sleep. I only drink coke and sweetened coffee for around 15 years now. No water, ever. I always knew how bad it is, but for some reason I started this fast out of nowwhere. So I kept going, first night was pretty bad, woke up 3 times couldn't sleep. The day after was actually pretty good until the evening where the hunger kicked in like crazy again. Now im sitting here 3am after waking up again trying to sleep. My gut does hurt a bit and I was sweating. I start to feel a bit better now and I will keep going for at least 60 hours. That's my end goal. I also can't stop thinking about my favourite pizza guy's Pizza. Someone in the comments gave the tip to not tell anyone that you do a water fast, I can relate now. My brother and my mom went crazy on it. You can tell people afterwards, I guess.
Keep going. I lost close to 100 lbs fasting. I'm on a 96 hour fast right now and will be reaching my goal weight soon. This will be the first time of my life where I will reach my goal weight and it was all from fasting.
I read a dozen articles on how to break a 3 days fast and chicken and rice were litterally forbidden, so I am quite surprised here. First day should be only veggies and fruits. Rice should not be before day 2 or 3, and small quantities. I come as a friend, please people just explain to me otherwise if what I read sounds wrong
My whole life I have been intermittent fasting and I never knew it. My doctor did blood tests said my HGH is really high... So I'm used to going without food my 1st meal of The day has always been around 1 or 2 pm. I did a water fast for the first time 3 days I put salt in my water and just drink water for 3 days. But made sure the water was reversed osmosis!!... I felt great Did get a little weak lethargic I never had bone broth during my fast it's my understanding that it breaks the fast. I believe electrolyte's (salt), green tea, and coffee is permissible. I lost 10 pounds! I'm thinking of doing it again in a few days. Maybe pick this up as a routine once a month or once every couple months. Thank you Kevin For providing such a Great video!
Kevin, why do you drink bone broth during your water fast? Given the protein in bone broth (5g in a cup, on average, so 10g for you in a day of fasting), wouldn't this activate the mTOR signaling pathway and prevent autophagy, one of the big benefits of an extended fast?
Even I wondered... And I notice how people obsess over what they will take and not take during and after the fast, which tells me that we are really slaves to our bellies. He did OK. Better next time I hope
@@marish... Well, it may help you fast longer, and there are many benefits to be had, but if you drink bone broth, the amino acids will likely stop the autophagy impact of fasting. I fast primarily for autophagy, so wouldn't drink bone broth while fasting (quite separate from the fact that I'm pescetarian!).
I was in the hospital for 8 nights back in 2020 for a colitis flare and the day before I didn’t eat, day 1 there didn’t eat, then it was like clear fluids, then fluids fluids then npo for scope, etc. I kept craving burgers!!! I was so impressed though, I lost about 8 pounds that week! This video is super motivating because I have definitely put on some winter warmth this year haha.
@@clintonfussell7385 the real benefits of fasting are for spiritual growth and mental clarity. Regardless of what you believe in, you will become calm, self aware, and it will run out demons/negative energy from your spirit
I was in top notch excellent health all my life until about two months now. My mom passed and we have had nothing but fast food. I'm thinking about fasting for three days to recover. I don't want to get cancer like my mom did and I'm worried
Nearly at the end of a 3 day fast. If it wasn't for weight training making me exhausted I could probably do longer. The issue is you want to do weight of training during a fast as to prevent muscle loss (I suspect it's more important on a longer, 3+ day fast, but it's still worth it). Still, I want to eat something healthy and nutritious. This is the beauty of fasting. So long as you can have willpower to not instantly want to end it with a treat, it helps you crave regular food, and not junk food.
Today is Monday and it is my first day of water fasting. Went to the gym and I have my gallon of water ready 💪 I currently weigh 203.4 lbs. I'm hoping this actually works, I'm going to do this for a week. Wish me luck, I'll keep you guys updated. Edit: this is harder than I thought 😅
You're absolutely correct on the a strength training and add drinking salt and potassium with your water ,then eliminate the broth so you don't break your fast plus no headaches, everything else you're doing looks spot-on oh, great job
@@clintonfussell7385 I personally just take vitamins that don't break your fast But don't use any liquid or oil capsules those will break your fast. There are fasting strips that you can get You do babysit yourself and see if you're still faster or not That is how I found out mio for water you cannot use lol
Day 5 of my water fast, going well. Hoping to do 7days, wanting to do 21days, lets see. I have no interest in food, i still cook for hubby and my 5yo. I use electrolytes when i get weak muscles and headache if any. I workout when possible.
When fasting, I notice my dreams are more memorable. I MIGHT have as equally vivid or adventurous dreams when not fasting. But I don't remember them. When fasting I remember them more. And they are more more detailed. Makes me wonder if our modern garbage diet is "insulating" our synapses, and minimizing our memory and mental acuity. 🤔
I’m on day 2 of my first water fast and it’s so hard! Hope tomorrow will be as beautiful as it was for you 🙏 hope I get to do a full day 3 and maybe get a day 4 but I’m a horticulturist so a very physical job. How do you cope with work?
@@JaLalalover - yeah it’s very difficult if you have to be active. I’m self employed with a desk job so it’s more doable. I just started a 10 day last Thursday but I think I might turn it into a 14 or 21 day. I’m on day 5 and I’m feeling really good. How did it go for you?
This is just my second day, I feel amazing. My daily fatigue went away... Way more energy. But I'm so hungry. It's like my body is in "hunt for food" mode & Relying on my fat reserves.
I ran up the stairs like 20 times and couldn't stop pacing because I'm doing pure coffee fast (which is really good for fasting) , before when I was eating too much and drinking coffee I still didn't feel energized & doing 2 flights of stairs was so hard... Literally, on day 2 it's like 20 flights of stairs are not enough...
Watching your video. I no longer buy the Kirkland sparkling water and you right it doesn’t even compare to Topo Chico. I have a Sodastream and add a pinch of salt before I charge. It’s not as good as Topo Chico, but better than Kirkland.
I used to get sick, like real sick, I thought it was hyperemisis until I saw my grandma washing my sink with a toilet scrub, and realized she was munchausen by proxying me and gaslighting to get me to quit weed...suffice to say, I'm fine now, but I remember throwing up for up to 7 days at a time..everything, no water, except some and I'd immediately throw it up and it was torture...after those throw up sessions..my god, the clarity that came after, was incredible, I could play guitar amazing, I could work out incredibly accurate/efficient..it was amazing, I'm 48 days right now on a fast, and it feels very similar..there's some odd aggression that comes out too, but it's funny cause you can really analyze your mind in that state and make decisions. I love it
I did a 4 day water fast… i planned to do a 7 day but day 3 and day 4 i felt awful … I couldn’t sleep in the night, i had muscle fatigue, i had trouble focusing, overall felt like crap, little energy …. the 4th day, i tried to lift something at work and i almost fainted… then i got home in the evening made a meal (salad/mushrooms/salmon/shrimp) and i immediately felt so much better. I dropped from 83.9kg to 79.5kg… i was very impressed from the weight i lost but after one period I personally struggled. The first two days were great, i had energy no problem at all but day 3 and 4 was hell.
If I go longer then 48 hours on a fast, I have to use electro powder that also has trace minerals. This helps with the headaches you can get from fasting.
@@venM9 Yes, I did lose some muscle mass. I actually went 6 days just water fasting but I lost the fat in my belly. Now I can see my abs so I am working on getting them more defined. I am just eating once or twice a day.
I stopped looking at the clock too much or any kind of timer when i fast because it tended to make me shift my focus to when i was going to be "done" rather than just existing in the current time. Time goes by either way but something about looking at timers has that whole watching a pot boil effect (for me) what ive done lately is after dinner i go to sleep like normal than in the morning when i wake up i count that time as when my fast starts so in my head im thinking 36 hrs from now and if i break it a few hours early its actually been over 36 hrs. I noticed when i pay attention to the time its too easy to rationalize maybe stopping it a few hours short so i have to trick myself haha
I fast 2 days every week and then 7 days every quarter. Eating is over rated. Fasting has Simplified my life. And I am still muscular. Hunger is something I don’t experience. My weekend fast for 2 days goes without hunger. 7 day fast required one to prepare ahead. It is good to reduce carb intake and increase fat intake before it. Also reduce coffee or tea intake, in order to reduce the chance of having heart burn or get headache. Btw bone broth is cheating. I take only water and magnesium, b complex, zinc, multivitamin supplements after day 3. I take bone broth when I break my long fast. I work out and run during my 2 day fast. But don’t work out at all in my 7 day fast(based on my experience). I usually complete 1 to 2 coursera courses( usually it takes 4 to 6 months for regular people) in my 7 day fast. I can go non stop without any break except when I sleep. I have over 150 coursera certificates since I started fasting three years ago
I have had vivid dreams when I was sleeping last night. After I have cleared the 24hr mark of fasting. I dreamt of eating biscuit life food with lots of sugar in it. I woke up several times and really thought I broke my fast lol. I'm glad I past that phase
same i had trouble sleeping last night… i recently switched to plant based and decided to fast for a day. when i went to sleep last night i had a dream i was eating a krispy kreme donut with a hamburger in between.. very weird
Bone Broth?? How is that fasting? 8:35 you hold it up and it appears there are calories. Does true fasting allow for calories? I was under the impression you can have water, black coffee and zero calorie tea.
I am in the third day of my first 72 hour fast and I had forgotten until this morning that 6 hours before I compete it I have reservations at Gordon Ramsay's "steak". I bailed on it around 9 hours before completion to have a small meal so I don't get sick eating this evening. It was easier than I thought honestly for the time I stuck to it, but I will try again in a couple days. Kind of hard to miss this meal. I'm a little disappointed because had no intentions of stopping before my goal... I'll try again soon. No more reservations.
i'm on a 72 hour fast now. at 48 hours and i have not been able to even think about biking lol maybe i made a mistake to not do that the first morning but i wanted to prolong my not hungry feeling the first day. haha walking a little when I have the energy. sparkling water is such a treat! :) I slept well the first night but got a little sick. first day I didnt think about food and wasn't that hungry but oh man this second day i've been dreaming of what i'll eat to break the fast and for some reason i know my first thing will be avocado with sea salt and nutritional yeast :) doesn't bone broth break the fast?
true, a lot of it is conditioning, I've been doing sparkling water as well...I used to be the biggest food junkie...I went plant based and never experience hunger because the nutrients and microelements are friends of satiety, animals are not
I’m at the end of my first ever 72 hour fast, and feel fine 🤷🏻♂️.
Word of advice: DON’T TELL PEOPLE. People lose their minds and can’t wrap their heads around the concept, so just keep it to yourself and save yourself the time, energy, stress and aggro
Yeah I’ve almost freaked out at a couple of my friends who wouldn’t stop telling me it’s dumb to not eat and I don’t tell them anything anymore. They think you have to eat every two seconds or you die apparently
So True. People think you will die if you don't eat for a couple days because they've been conditioned to believe that. Not true at all. Water fasting is a great benefit to our health.
@@AwesumVideo But is real. It 's not healthy.
So true ! Stay silent about it , I’m on. Day 2 I took some vitamins , d3, vitamin c and electrolytes. Doing ok not great but pushing through . This is my second time doing a 3 day fast.
@@CătălinaMaria1896 It is healthy so long as you have no existing health conditions that could make it unhealthy. Humans have been fasting since the dawn of time. Research shows a max* of a 3 day water* fast can have many benefits. Sit down.
"I did a 3 day water-only fast, eating nothing and drinking water." No you didn't. Bone broth is not water.
Correct. Break a fast with bone broth. Plus, 1 hour is not a hike, it’s a stroll. Put salt in your water. Electrolytes deplete in ketosis.
Bone broth breaks your fast. You didn’t fast.🥴
broth is meat water
There's one born every few minutes 😂😂 Bone-broth certainly breaks a fast.
Tallow and lard etc is ok to consume so not to break a fast.
Dislike 👎
Heard enuff..."do not recommend channel"
Exactly. Kafein also worsen the mood and mental stability hours after consumed while fasting.
I lost so far 24 pounds I do 18 , 20 , 40 and 72 hour fasts in 6 week. I was prediabetic. My reading are lower than 80 when normally I was 108 on the mornings. My father passed away on Christmas day of diabetes complications.... much love to all.

Hello, do you maybe know what app he used to track he's fast
Pro tip. Tell people you are fasting for religious reasons and then don't specify. No one ever wants to argue with that lol
why lie? when you can go to Jesus Christ he isn't a religion he is a man and God himself repent and believe he loves you! GBY!
Ahh yes, tell people you are starving yourself because of your delusion of a sky daddy told you to do so, that will make everyone stop questioning your sanity!
You can also just say you are doing it because your doctor recommended it for your health situation. Can't argue with that. I do it for both health and religious reasons.
How about tell it and not care what people say?

How was your experience
Im currently on day 3, it’s 3pm. 9 hrs to go. I think I just caught my second wind and hunger went away
I’m 8 hours and 4 min from completing my first 72 hour fast! Today was the worst for me…
I passed out on day 3
Hell, my family gets ansy when I fast or just eat Keto. They're always pushing carbs and desserts on me. I started Keto at 69 y.o. and 250lbs. I'm 74 now, still 75lbs lighter and I lost all my old age symptoms.
Hey, any update?
Are you still alive?😅
Really well done sir x
Old age symptoms?
I did water fasting for 9 days twice a year, and it's all true, losing weight is just one factor, you feel like your body has been reprogrammed .
I'm on day 2 after completing 3 day fast. I feel very reprogrammed! I love it.
How much weight did you lose from that
I do this once a month every month and it always has wonderful benefits ❤ I always look younger and loose a few pounds once it’s over. The bloating of my stomach goes down. Yes then do keto only diet once eating starts back up. I lost 30 pounds within 4 months doing this when I was younger. Now that I’m 51 it’s harder to loose weight but the fasting still helps cleanse your organs and helps reduce inflammation pain. I never get hunger pains. The water makes me feel full.
I'm in my mid-40s on my 2nd day. My stomach hasn't growled much. I'm on carnivore.
But fasting screws up everyone’s ability to spell…words like lose for example 😂
I also started for the health benefits, but gaining that level of will power and not being controlled by hunger like you mentioned was a surprisingly powerful bonus.
How much did you lose?
I am at the end of day two and it’s true about sharing. People don’t know how to accept this and think your going to drop dead right in front of them! Don’t share what you don’t need to tell them.
In the middle of my own 72 hour fast before Thanksgiving. 36 hours in and feeling great. Key is definitely putting a little salt in the water. Keeps the headaches at bay for me.
You’re not supposed to fast and then have a big meal right after. Opposite effects than what you want
Drink spring water is key

Lol my mouth diesnt water when my husband ir 5yo son eats. I'm in day 5 if ny water fast, hoping to go 7 days or 21 days. How'd it go?
It’s good to note, for anybody who may be wondering, what he’s doing is what some would call a dirty fast. The bone broth has calories which would make it not a clean fast (no caloric intake). There are still benefits of a dirty fast, it’s just worth noting.
Yes bone broth breaks a fast so it's not clean fasting
It all comes down to calories out vs in. Bone broth "breaks a fast" but not for long, you easily burn through those calories and very quickly since you're not taking anything else in. You literally HAVE to burn your fat stores when you need 2000 (at least) calories per day just to function. 40 damn calories of bone broth does not hurt a fast.
@@JTguitarlessons correct 40 is nothing.. 8 fl. oz of Coconut Water has more Calories
I am regularly doing OMAD (One mean a day) and people really have a wrong perception of hunger, more like that it necessarily has to be unpleasant. I actually quite enjoying the fasting hunger. It feels really different from that junk food starvation that people are used to feel.

Did u lose face fat?
@@aac2289 unfortunately not, I have a fat face too 😂, you have to go for longer for that to happen, I did lose some weight but I didn’t see a physical difference x
I was one of the hardcore skeptics about waterfasting. Long story short, I tried it out. First time only lasted 2 days, I'm sure my body was really stunned at what was going on. 2nd try, it went through 4 days and I only stopped because I had a family gathering (not eating would be considered as sinful as a genocide).
It was amazing really. I decided to try it just for weight loss (fat, not muscles) and I didn't expect all the other benefits. I focused better on my job, zero hunger (past 36 hours into the fast), and get this, my skin began to get smoother and the few acnes I had immediately gone poof. Like no acne for months now (I usually get at least 2 acnes monthly). Have fasted for a total of 6 times with average of 4-5 days, and I do it once if not twice a month now.
For those interested in the weight loss, it also did me wonder. After 3 months, about 14 kg (mostly fat I'm sure) was dropped. And there are some studies that show fasting doesn't decrease your metabolism, so much much better control after hitting the body weight/fat percentage target. Basically, like ketogenic in principle but for a dude like me who can't be bothered to prep proper meals.
Fitness level? Oh damn sure Im fitter than ever, even gained strength in my lifting exercise.
Carbs? I do still eat them but definitely not as much as I did before, this definitely gave a reboot to my past horrible appetite.
My first 3 days were good, except I couldn't complete 72 hours, I stopped at 67.5 hours because I took my diabetes meds and got low blood sugar and had to eat something... Now I'm in my second 3 days, it's been 19 hours, I'll see how it goes
Update... completed my second 3 days fast and did a blood sugar test. It came normal!!! Note that I am type 2 diabetic!!!
Great job overall. Multi-day fasting is no joke. My only beef is with that broth. Technically, that was the end of the fast...10 calories per serving is 10 calories
Technically he’s not fasting , but 10 calories won’t stop he’s body from having the benefits of fasting. He’s ketone levels kept rising, indicated by stable blood glucose levels. That means his blood glucose wasn’t stable due to 10 calories but due to ketone levels rising which rises due to starvation/fasting.

@@Ken-bh1oz you can try HIIT and usual walks cause if you push yourself you'll activate cortisol in your body that raises insulin and will make you hungry.
@@Ken-bh1oz I would say just drink 5 protein shakes a day with unsweetened almond milk with my favorite protein powder iso 100 coco pebbles flavor I would drink 5 of those a day when working out I would also put creatine but that is optional because it will make you weight 2 pounds over your actual weight but you build muscle faster and become stronger when you take creatine but it’s. 50/50 with it you’ll loose the 2 pounds when you stop taking the creatine but yea that’s was the ideal diet I did and lost 60 pounds in a month weight lifting 4 times out the week 2 times a day and cardio one day and 2 days of rest.

Hindus have been fasting for more than 3500 years before the quran was written.
Now it doesn’t seem to be so special.
Why do Hindus fast?
According to the scriptures, fasting helps create a blissful bonding between “individual spirit” and “The Supreme Spirit - The God”. The aim of observing fast is to purify the body and mind to acquire divine grace. For the last thousand years, most Hindus celebrate fasting.
• To develop God-awareness or become closer to God.
• To purify the mind and body.
• To celebrate rituals or religious festivals.
• To boost stamina and to nourish physical health for long life.
• To train the mind and to strengthen the body to endure and to face difficulties and not to give up.

Great vid. I regularly buy and make my own broth when not fasting, however only drink water and some black coffee during any type of fast. Wouldn't the broth be detrimental to the fast as it contains fats and calories thus essentially breaking your fast?

Bone broth breaks the fast according to the experts. It is great for coming off of a fast.

I did my first 7 day fast a couple months back. Coffee only, plus electrolytes as mentioned. Went well. Will probably do again, perhaps longer. I approached it by reminding myself up front I was trying to improve my health, not jeopardize it; to that end, I would be mindful of how I felt, and resolve to end the fast at any time if I started feeling off.
I like hearing what people do to stay on track. Telling yourself it’s to help your health keeps you from giving in to cravings.
I did the water fast for 3 days only. My plan was to fast for at least a month. I did not feel hungry at all, and I was feeling so determined to keep going. The third day, I started feeling body ache, no energy, I could hardly get up.
The third day was my monthly doc appointment, when they checked my blood pressure, it was extremely low, he asked me if I was drinking enough water and I was probably drinking more than I should...They run an EKG, it was fine. he said to try adding pink salt and ACV to my water which I was doing already.
Driving back from his office, I started feeling extremely exhausted, blurry vision, I parked somewhere as I couldn't see. I had to get something sweet, thinking my blood pressure dropped again (it does drop sometimes)
Today is my second day after the 3days water fast and my stomach has been hurting and messed up.

I Admit that I didn't do a lot of research about the subject and didn't know much.
Thank you!
Just do 3 days then or one day a week. As long as you are fasting then don't panic if you can't do 10 days in a row. Everyone starts out wanting to do alot of days , sometimes you achieve it sometimes you don't. Just as long as you fast frequently and you are moving towards your goal be happy.

Great explain. Started doing 3 days water fast every month and I see great benefits.
Twice I ended the fasting at around 40hrs due to sleep issues. Great video indeed.
Hahaha 🤣 how much sleep do you need in 40hrs
I did this fasting. And I am a 3-5 cups of coffee drinker a day. But, I did motivate myself hard and survive those 3 days without kafein and anything else. Just pure water. No nightmare. A lil bit tired and weak feeling are expected. So, I move on. Now, I don't need kafein anymore to feel energized. I stop eating a lot of sweets. Fasting make me realize I don't need all of that and still can feeling good. Most of the time, I found people fail to do the 3 days fasting is because they do it with not full commitment. They give themselves just a lil bit slack. Like that kafein withdrawal prejudice. But, that lil bit and tiny slack is enough to ruin all of the effort. Why jeopardize 72 hours of efforts just for some unhealthy slack? That's my way of thinking when finally and successful did the 3 days water fasting.
i’m almost done with the first day of a 5 day fast and i’m not even hungry because i’ve been good on water and electrolytes but i can’t stop thinking about a fat plate of mcdonald’s right now. i’m currently 175 pounds and i hope to be near 165 by the end of this with a good amount of cardio
kkkkkkkkkk
Loo
Im at around 250 pounds, I don't look quiet like it, but one can clearly see that I am overweight in that sense.
I'm at hour 48 of my water fast now, I never did anything like this before and I can't even tell why I did it. Something just made me do it spontaneously after midnight 2 days ago watching youtube. My eating habits are very bad. I love to basically eat all night until 2am when I go sleep. I only drink coke and sweetened coffee for around 15 years now. No water, ever. I always knew how bad it is, but for some reason I started this fast out of nowwhere. So I kept going, first night was pretty bad, woke up 3 times couldn't sleep. The day after was actually pretty good until the evening where the hunger kicked in like crazy again. Now im sitting here 3am after waking up again trying to sleep. My gut does hurt a bit and I was sweating. I start to feel a bit better now and I will keep going for at least 60 hours. That's my end goal.
I also can't stop thinking about my favourite pizza guy's Pizza.
Someone in the comments gave the tip to not tell anyone that you do a water fast, I can relate now. My brother and my mom went crazy on it.
You can tell people afterwards, I guess.
Add salt to water or electrolytes continue with ur meds and vitamins
Whats ur results now?
Keep going. I lost close to 100 lbs fasting. I'm on a 96 hour fast right now and will be reaching my goal weight soon. This will be the first time of my life where I will reach my goal weight and it was all from fasting.
I read a dozen articles on how to break a 3 days fast and chicken and rice were litterally forbidden, so I am quite surprised here. First day should be only veggies and fruits. Rice should not be before day 2 or 3, and small quantities. I come as a friend, please people just explain to me otherwise if what I read sounds wrong
I doing fast again. My goal is 25 days. My longest fast was 23 days. I lost over 100 pounds so far since my highest weight.
My whole life I have been intermittent fasting and I never knew it. My doctor did blood tests said my HGH is really high... So I'm used to going without food my 1st meal of The day has always been around 1 or 2 pm.
I did a water fast for the first time 3 days I put salt in my water and just drink water for 3 days. But made sure the water was reversed osmosis!!... I felt great Did get a little weak lethargic I never had bone broth during my fast it's my understanding that it breaks the fast. I believe electrolyte's (salt), green tea, and coffee is permissible. I lost 10 pounds! I'm thinking of doing it again in a few days. Maybe pick this up as a routine once a month or once every couple months. Thank you Kevin For providing such a Great video!
Kevin, why do you drink bone broth during your water fast? Given the protein in bone broth (5g in a cup, on average, so 10g for you in a day of fasting), wouldn't this activate the mTOR signaling pathway and prevent autophagy, one of the big benefits of an extended fast?
Even I wondered... And I notice how people obsess over what they will take and not take during and after the fast, which tells me that we are really slaves to our bellies. He did OK. Better next time I hope
Dr. fung said that it's ok to drink bone broth while fasting if it helps you to fast longer
@@marish... Well, it may help you fast longer, and there are many benefits to be had, but if you drink bone broth, the amino acids will likely stop the autophagy impact of fasting. I fast primarily for autophagy, so wouldn't drink bone broth while fasting (quite separate from the fact that I'm pescetarian!).
How is bone broth in the morning and bone broth in the evening a "water only fast"? I feel this is slightly misleading...
best video on fasting period
Brother! I did the same thing in my video. Massive respect! Living to the fullest king!
I was in the hospital for 8 nights back in 2020 for a colitis flare and the day before I didn’t eat, day 1 there didn’t eat, then it was like clear fluids, then fluids fluids then npo for scope, etc. I kept craving burgers!!! I was so impressed though, I lost about 8 pounds that week! This video is super motivating because I have definitely put on some winter warmth this year haha.
So your only benefit was weight loss? I'd like to hear about other benefits of fasting besides weight loss, because I'm not fat.
@@clintonfussell7385 the real benefits of fasting are for spiritual growth and mental clarity. Regardless of what you believe in, you will become calm, self aware, and it will run out demons/negative energy from your spirit
Doing a 3 day water fast. It's best to just do cardio, not a lot of heavy weights at all.❤❤
I was in top notch excellent health all my life until about two months now. My mom passed and we have had nothing but fast food. I'm thinking about fasting for three days to recover. I don't want to get cancer like my mom did and I'm worried
U can do it
I also do 72 hours water fasting every year. And can relate him how it feels when we eat food after fasting.
Nearly at the end of a 3 day fast. If it wasn't for weight training making me exhausted I could probably do longer. The issue is you want to do weight of training during a fast as to prevent muscle loss (I suspect it's more important on a longer, 3+ day fast, but it's still worth it). Still, I want to eat something healthy and nutritious. This is the beauty of fasting. So long as you can have willpower to not instantly want to end it with a treat, it helps you crave regular food, and not junk food.
Quantifying your progress is smart and lays a base for future fasting. It gives us confidence also. Ty.
The main problem for me when fasting more then 1 day is that my arms and feet becomes very cold.
I relate
The same
Today is Monday and it is my first day of water fasting. Went to the gym and I have my gallon of water ready 💪
I currently weigh 203.4 lbs. I'm hoping this actually works, I'm going to do this for a week. Wish me luck, I'll keep you guys updated.
Edit: this is harder than I thought 😅
Good luck 👍 you got this
What are your reslts?!
Aaliyahbuggg, how did your fasting go?
We need an update!
hey bestie, how did it go ??
I did 72hrs on water only, only felt hungry the first day and I work an active job
Did u lose face fat?
@@aac2289 yes my face got really slim
@@Sjtoolsie 72 hrs is 3 day isnt it its insane?
@@aac2289 I tired a 3 day fast and i ended up in the hospital with server heart arrhythmia.
@@dylanjohnson4624 wtf reaallyy??
I'm on day 3 and the migraines are killing me. Nausea. I feel horrible. I'm hoping tomorrow is better
You need SALT and Magnesium
You're absolutely correct on the a strength training and add drinking salt and potassium with your water ,then eliminate the broth so you don't break your fast plus no headaches, everything else you're doing looks spot-on oh, great job
Broth doesn’t break fast. Fewer than 50 cal per day
How do you add potassium to water?
@@clintonfussell7385 I personally just take vitamins that don't break your fast But don't use any liquid or oil capsules those will break your fast. There are fasting strips that you can get You do babysit yourself and see if you're still faster or not That is how I found out mio for water you cannot use lol
Costco MultiVitamin, Kirkland Brand does not break my fast
@@clintonfussell7385you can get electrolyte liquid. And add it to water
I never did 72 hours, but did 48 and I am used to 23/1 OMAD and it always worked wonders for me.
First video I’ve watched and very informative. Also, this man is foine! 🔥
Day 5 of my water fast, going well. Hoping to do 7days, wanting to do 21days, lets see. I have no interest in food, i still cook for hubby and my 5yo. I use electrolytes when i get weak muscles and headache if any. I workout when possible.
Hour 55 is day 3... bone broth is not a water fast. Im confused
Strange people say they are water only fasting then have bone broth
When fasting, I notice my dreams are more memorable. I MIGHT have as equally vivid or adventurous dreams when not fasting. But I don't remember them. When fasting I remember them more. And they are more more detailed. Makes me wonder if our modern garbage diet is "insulating" our synapses, and minimizing our memory and mental acuity. 🤔
Wooow I will start my 3 day water fasting tomorrow 🥰🥰
I just finished my 4th 4-day fast and I feel amazing. First day- easy. Second day- hard. Third day- beautiful. Fourth day- annoying.
Im on a 3 day fast, considering pushing it out to 4
I’m on day 2 of my first water fast and it’s so hard! Hope tomorrow will be as beautiful as it was for you 🙏 hope I get to do a full day 3 and maybe get a day 4 but I’m a horticulturist so a very physical job. How do you cope with work?
@@JaLalalover - yeah it’s very difficult if you have to be active. I’m self employed with a desk job so it’s more doable. I just started a 10 day last Thursday but I think I might turn it into a 14 or 21 day. I’m on day 5 and I’m feeling really good. How did it go for you?
This is just my second day, I feel amazing. My daily fatigue went away... Way more energy. But I'm so hungry. It's like my body is in "hunt for food" mode
& Relying on my fat reserves.
I ran up the stairs like 20 times and couldn't stop pacing because I'm doing pure coffee fast (which is really good for fasting) , before when I was eating too much and drinking coffee I still didn't feel energized & doing 2 flights of stairs was so hard...
Literally, on day 2 it's like 20 flights of stairs are not enough...
I did a 90 hour fast, it was an amazing experience
Kevin, Doesn't the protein in bone broth ruin the autophagy\ketosis for your fast?
It ruins autophogy but ketosis is achievable just by eating no carbs
Watching your video. I no longer buy the Kirkland sparkling water and you right it doesn’t even compare to Topo Chico. I have a Sodastream and add a pinch of salt before I charge. It’s not as good as Topo Chico, but better than Kirkland.
love seeing applicable medicine in action. makes my post step 1 spaghetti brain excited for rotations. Thanks, Dr. Jubbal
Hello....tomorrow i break my first ever 3 day fast and i am super excited!
Great video bro. I'm at the end of a three day fast right now and I've felt everything you explained.
congratulations you did it :) 💓
Hello, do you maybe know what app he used to track he's fast
I used to get sick, like real sick, I thought it was hyperemisis until I saw my grandma washing my sink with a toilet scrub, and realized she was munchausen by proxying me and gaslighting to get me to quit weed...suffice to say, I'm fine now, but I remember throwing up for up to 7 days at a time..everything, no water, except some and I'd immediately throw it up and it was torture...after those throw up sessions..my god, the clarity that came after, was incredible, I could play guitar amazing, I could work out incredibly accurate/efficient..it was amazing, I'm 48 days right now on a fast, and it feels very similar..there's some odd aggression that comes out too, but it's funny cause you can really analyze your mind in that state and make decisions. I love it
Awesome video man… I just put a donut in the break room down on day 3 for me thanks to you lol. Thanks for that!
I did a 4 day water fast… i planned to do a 7 day but day 3 and day 4 i felt awful … I couldn’t sleep in the night, i had muscle fatigue, i had trouble focusing, overall felt like crap, little energy …. the 4th day, i tried to lift something at work and i almost fainted… then i got home in the evening made a meal (salad/mushrooms/salmon/shrimp) and i immediately felt so much better.
I dropped from 83.9kg to 79.5kg… i was very impressed from the weight i lost but after one period I personally struggled. The first two days were great, i had energy no problem at all but day 3 and 4 was hell.
Good stuff. Thanks for taking the time for doing this great video.
I fast 1 day every week. But I plan to do long term fasting 3-5 days twice a year.
B vitamins decrease autophagy which might be alright normally but may reduce some of the non-linear benefits of fasting on autophagy
All B vitamins?
If I go longer then 48 hours on a fast, I have to use electro powder that also has trace minerals. This helps with the headaches you can get from fasting.
I do a 72-hour twice a month! I’m in one now and will break tomorrow afternoon
Bone broth? Did I hear that correctly? How is that fasting? Supplements-isn't that also breaking the fast?
I'm on day two of my water fast and I feel good
I once did a 16 day water fast first week was brutal but I started at 190 got myself down to 160 in 16 days but I was also working out
I am on my 48hr water fast.... my first time and it has been extremely easy....
And I been hitting the Gym hard too.
Are you loosing any muscle mass?
@@venM9 Yes, I did lose some muscle mass. I actually went 6 days just water fasting but I lost the fat in my belly. Now I can see my abs so I am working on getting them more defined. I am just eating once or twice a day.
I think it would be hard for most viewers to separate that a doctor is doing this from him giving advice
I stopped looking at the clock too much or any kind of timer when i fast because it tended to make me shift my focus to when i was going to be "done" rather than just existing in the current time. Time goes by either way but something about looking at timers has that whole watching a pot boil effect (for me) what ive done lately is after dinner i go to sleep like normal than in the morning when i wake up i count that time as when my fast starts so in my head im thinking 36 hrs from now and if i break it a few hours early its actually been over 36 hrs. I noticed when i pay attention to the time its too easy to rationalize maybe stopping it a few hours short so i have to trick myself haha
I fast 2 days every week and then 7 days every quarter. Eating is over rated. Fasting has Simplified my life. And I am still muscular. Hunger is something I don’t experience. My weekend fast for 2 days goes without hunger. 7 day fast required one to prepare ahead. It is good to reduce carb intake and increase fat intake before it. Also reduce coffee or tea intake, in order to reduce the chance of having heart burn or get headache. Btw bone broth is cheating. I take only water and magnesium, b complex, zinc, multivitamin supplements after day 3. I take bone broth when I break my long fast. I work out and run during my 2 day fast. But don’t work out at all in my 7 day fast(based on my experience). I usually complete 1 to 2 coursera courses( usually it takes 4 to 6 months for regular people) in my 7 day fast. I can go non stop without any break except when I sleep. I have over 150 coursera certificates since I started fasting three years ago
I have had vivid dreams when I was sleeping last night. After I have cleared the 24hr mark of fasting. I dreamt of eating biscuit life food with lots of sugar in it. I woke up several times and really thought I broke my fast lol. I'm glad I past that phase
same i had trouble sleeping last night… i recently switched to plant based and decided to fast for a day. when i went to sleep last night i had a dream i was eating a krispy kreme donut with a hamburger in between.. very weird
Bone Broth?? How is that fasting? 8:35 you hold it up and it appears there are calories. Does true fasting allow for calories? I was under the impression you can have water, black coffee and zero calorie tea.
Fewer than 50 calories per day functionally the same
@@kevinjubbalmd disagree. Maybe that’s the technical part but adding any calories takes away from the discipline
Love seeing this on your channel!
I am in the third day of my first 72 hour fast and I had forgotten until this morning that 6 hours before I compete it I have reservations at Gordon Ramsay's "steak". I bailed on it around 9 hours before completion to have a small meal so I don't get sick eating this evening. It was easier than I thought honestly for the time I stuck to it, but I will try again in a couple days. Kind of hard to miss this meal. I'm a little disappointed because had no intentions of stopping before my goal... I'll try again soon. No more reservations.
i'm on a 72 hour fast now. at 48 hours and i have not been able to even think about biking lol maybe i made a mistake to not do that the first morning but i wanted to prolong my not hungry feeling the first day. haha walking a little when I have the energy. sparkling water is such a treat! :)
I slept well the first night but got a little sick. first day I didnt think about food and wasn't that hungry but oh man this second day i've been dreaming of what i'll eat to break the fast and for some reason i know my first thing will be avocado with sea salt and nutritional yeast :)
doesn't bone broth break the fast?
true, a lot of it is conditioning, I've been doing sparkling water as well...I used to be the biggest food junkie...I went plant based and never experience hunger because the nutrients and microelements are friends of satiety, animals are not
