I find that if I keep carbs low after a refeed it's much easier to deal with the hunger. I had a student that lost significant weight and when I asked him about how he managed it, he said, "I finally discovered that it was okay to feel hungry." Great stuff, thanks for posting.
That makes sense. The problem is switching from burning fat for fuel (Ketosis) to burning glucose and back again. Eating low carb will keep you in ketosis even after you eat because all you're eating is fats and proteins. I may consider this.
Day 1: 217.8 lbs. Day 94: 156.2 lbs. = 61.6 lbs. (27.9 kg) lost in 94 days! "In those 94 days, I've only eaten on 22 of those days, and on those 22 days, only for less than a 4-hour average. That's three months of doing this continuously, consecutive back-to-back-to-back 90 plus hour fasts." 1) Water fast for 4 days (96 hours). Refeed (4-6K calories) in a 4 Hour window. Repeat 22.56 times (100 hours x 22.56 = 94 days) 2) Walk a minimum of 1 hour per day. (10,000 steps per day. 5 miles.) 3) Strength train 3-6 days per week.(in the morning if possible) 4) Get sun. 5) Stay Hydrated. Drink plenty of water. 6) Stay busy. Stay productive. Purpose. 7) Get enough good sleep. (7+ hours a night) 8) Change your environment to a supporting one. Get rid of temptation. 9) Electrolytes. Vitamins. Minerals. (optional) 10) Don’t give up. It will take time. So give it time, and don’t give up!
Wow....I am exactly at 218 lbs. now and started ADF a week ago (4 days of Water only Fasting completed so far) and for my age (44M) and height (5'8") my GW should be 145 lbs. (though I am very much comfortable with 154 lbs.). And I am in general active person with 1hr cycling/jump rope in the morning and a 5kms or an hour of walking in the evening, every day, except on Sundays. I am lifting some free weights at home along with some compound exercises too. I have kept a target of 100 days of consistent and disciplined ADF without giving into any kind of temptations. And success stories like yours keep me inspired. Thanks a lot for posting this.
I have a question about refeeding calories. Are your 4-6k come under TDEE or you are just eating as to your satiety? I am confused about eating, should I eat as per my TDEE (2666 Cals for maintenance) or little more, on feeding days, and can still lose fat/weight? or do I need to eat less than my TDEE, which is 2166-1666 (to lose 1 to 0.5kg/week)? My worry is, if I eat just TDEE or less than my TDEE on feeding days, won't my metabolism slow down and anything I eat, though little will make up for fat instead, as I am restricting Cals through fasting. I am also worried about the muscle loss. I am comfortable on my fasting days just with water and electrolytes and some black coffee without any sugar, though. Please feel free me as a noob. So, any suggestions here please.
Yes, chewing ice is so good for me. I don't drink enough water and gravitate towards sugary drinks so this has been a great way to get the water I need
I’ve tried ADF for a few months and you’ve inspired me to extend my fasting because I’ve always stop around 40 hours. Today I’ve finished my first 90 hour fast! 😊❤ Thank you Jerome! Keep inspiring us.
Oh man. Everything you said hit home. Loved this video. I also remind myself that food will always be there, see RUclips videos of people eating. Just so so happy I found this RUclips channel!!!
Thanks Jermone i really needed this, did rolling 5 in November but messed up with back to back eat ,since then havent been able to get it back, so this week doing challenge with omad, i dont lose anything with that,so striving to get to rolling 5 again thats where i was losing, its really hard for me to lose weight i have 30 lbs left to lose i lost 150 iver the last 3 years,so i know i can do it, i lost the 150 with hard dieting,but so done with that i want fasting to be my way of eating, not diets, you are so amazing and encouraging, thank u !!!
Things that help me fast: Water Coffee Salt Acknowledging that I'm hungry and that's okay, and thinking of that as hunger eating the fat I'm trying to lose. Stepping on the scale regularly so I can see the results I'm working on.
Great Great video. I appreciate him getting straight to the point and having an honest and straightforward approach, and it's in no way discouraging. Thank you 🙏
Hey man, thank you for sharing your journey. I just finished my first 72 hour fast after watching your videos. I have not felt this good in the last like 8 years. I had so many misconceptions that I never knew to look into until finding your content. My mom and my sister and their co-workers have all started too after seeing my energy and weight change so fast. You are changing lives even through the ripple effect, thank you so much! ❤
7 years ago I lost 26 kilos through prolonged fasting and light exercise.To keep myself entertained and busy asside from my full time job I started project around my home to declutter and deep clean EVERYTHING.It keeps you ocupied especially if u like cleaning and it does not break the bank plus at the end of it you get a brand new body and a very nice spotless home.I would divide cleaning and decluttering into daily manageable chunks.Also I liked the thought of also burning the extra calories from vacuuming/cleaning windows dishes etc.
These videos help me power through. My goals are not as many pounds. I started on 2/1 at 171.3 and my goal is 150. My current weight is 166 and I’m currently fasting today. I’ve been averaging 2lbs per day! I’m hungry as I type but I’ll drink until it subsides. I’m past the point of giving in so my only option is to get through it so I can get to 150! Thank you for sharing your journey! For me I think of how I want to show up in this world and that means me pressing through.
i found your channel today... i also started years ago...(june2018) fasted 90 days(48-96) and cut 80lbs in 90 days... i put on more lbs than when i started.... you starting again, has inspired me to go again.... just like when i first found Cole... Peace and blessings and more success with your fasting goals and with you YT channel.... you are about to rocket to 100k this year!!
I lost 80lbs in 5 months and kept it off 2 years. Had 2 more babies and gained it all back. But when I was losing it I fasted intermittently and used sugar and aspartame free water flavors really helps keep you focused.
Thanks Jerome 🙏🏻. I haven’t started yet but I was wondering how you managed the hunger so thanks for sharing with us. I’m 3 weeks in with just eating watermelon 🍉, 1 week to go & now planning how to move forward with the health, happiness & relationship to food. You’ve really inspired me 🙏🏻🍉🙏🏻
Started fasting again 2 weeks ago, thanks to you, at 91kg and as of this morning I am 86.1! Feeling great! It's nice to everyone here going on the same journey, keeps me (and hopefully others) motivated! Thanks Jerome! You are doing great and so is everyone else in the comments who are on their fasting journey!
Yes, it does for me. When I’m calm, my stomach doesn’t growl. When I get ready for my walk, I take ACV and lemon juice water with me. By the time I’m done exercising, there’s no hunger pangs, but it’s the calm mindset that really works, I’ve experienced.
Wow, my brother. I was just looking for a dry fasting video to refresh my memory on when the ketosis kicks in and saw this. You look like a champion, bro. Great work
For the last month I have not been having dinner and I only drink water. After my 3PM meal I don't eat anything until my breakfast next morning. I've lost 14 pounds and still going. Not to mention I'm starting to feel better physically and mentally.
you are the Reality. Thank you for your videos. Your personal experience is so much more true than any weight lose expert. You are THE REAL GUY. Thank you. Now I am 86kg, hope to lost 10kg-15kg. Just started fasting. Early Congrats you reaching your goals. God bless you and your family. Great man.
I needed this encouragement! I'm on hour 73 of what I hope turns out to be a 10 day fast. I also got off of fasting for awhile and it's taken me a bit to get adjusted to it again. I'd get what felt like unbearable hungry before 12 hours were over. One thing that has helped is LMNT electrolytes and a Redmond's salt rock. I call it my human salt lick (instead of a horse one) 😂. Anyway, thanks for being you and providing this space, support, and encouragement, Jerome! ❤ Update: I decided to break after 96 hours, couldn't hang, but ate and am starting again for 156 hours. 💪🏽
I do Alternate day fasting. I fast 3 days a week between Sunday and Thursday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I eat between 3PM and 11PM (Saturday I eat normally). This works the best for me and super easy. Quick results and It gives me the every other day and weekends with friends and family.
Hi Jerome, I’m new to your channel and so far I’ve really enjoyed it. Its hard to find quality channels that really talk about extended fasting. I’ve been doing IF for almost 2 months and I was doing 24 hour fasts and then eating. Just recently I’ve tried to push myself in taking my fasting window further. On Sunday I completed my first 50 hour fast! Im so new to extended fasting and I love listening and getting encouragement fuel to keep going! Im down 30 lbs! -Loretta
In case this helps someone; worked myself up from 12/14 hrs, to 21 hrs starting Jan 27th. It's been informative :) -Never thought [based on past behavior] that I could ever make more than 14 hrs without following up with a binge. Finding this channel 2 wks ago has certainly helped. Then, yestd. morning, after several successful 21h fasts, I broke at 15, bc of .."feelings"😅. Ate everything in sight [think hansel+gretel😆] until I felt better. Fortunately after the emotional haze cleared and better sense took control again, instead of the usual feeling bad about it, I just started again. Currently at 22h and feeling fine but yeah, looking fwd to my eating window this afternoon. Credit to Jerome's inspiration and this supportive community for the push needed to just Start Again. Pleasant rest of the wk to all :)
Your channel came up in my feed two days ago, binged a lot of your videos, and I’m about to be on hour 37 of my first 48 hour fast. As someone who also has had a huge appetite and had issues with eating too much, this is something I feel like I can actually do. I’m currently 6’2 and weigh 344 lbs. Always been a bigger guy my whole life. Hoping to get down to 220 lbs or so in the next year. Thanks so much for all the great information and inspiration ❤️
@@kinda888 manage to reach 60 days only. losing 30kg. doing omad for 1 week and now im fasting again its almost 2 week gone. 10kg left to my ideal weight
Excellent tips , thank you , these are so many of the very best reminders! I’ve found most of these ideas to be true in my own journey and I love this listing! No diet drinks for me though. I would add that HOT DRINKS help get me thru tough moments, even if it’s just HOT WATER! Especially with a bit of salt. 🤷🏻♀️ ⭐️ “Being hungry is your only con?” vs all the pros of fasting… fantastic
Hey! So happy to see you crushing it. Love your channel! I've never been a Mukbang person but when I'm fasting...omg, it helps to watch people eating. It is so strange but it just helps 😂 So im there with you. Another thing I loveee to do maybe after a week or 2 fasted...is cook for other people. And im talking gourmet meals and desserts. And im not, never have I been anywhere near a chef😂😂 Thanks for the inspiration as always!!!
This is very inspiring.... I tried to fast and the max I could go was almost 2 days.... I will push more starting now! I used to be 70kg now I am 86kg! it really affected my liver and health.
I was attempted to do 3/4 day fast per cycle and 4 hour refeeds. I actually came up with this on my own, it was reassuring to see you doing this method and it actually working. Will now get on this horse, I always struggle with food and I don't have the mental strength to pull away, all those good mindset goals when you do struggle portrayed by you will do wonders for me. So I appreciate giving me a glimpse in your journey.
Be kind to yourself. If you are new to fasting or out of practice, gently and gradually extend your fasting times. Successful frequency of fasts overtime is more effective than jumping in to lengthy fasts.
Just keep at it, the first months are a battle of spirit and you do mess up but you just have to jump back on the horse and keep trying and overtime you get better and then you become so proud of yourself. I recommend drinking, apple cider vinegar and water with some Cayenne pepper every time you’re hungry. always helps me.
Thanks for the helpful info!I just finished 90 hrs. I broke cuz I got gout of all things ! Never had that before😮Dehydration caused it. So In the past I struggled to get going again. I plan to push through tomorrow and drink lots more water. I’ trust it will get easier
I was fasting every tue and Thursday and you inspired me to just extend it...finished 82 this morning 🎉 going to keep going it was suprising very pleasant...
I SO needed to see this and have followed you , the revelation I can break a fast re feed and start again immediately is a revelation ! I’ve done quiet a few times now in the last year longest 15 days solid then few 7 days BUT even taking electrolytes , potassium vits etc , I get super un functioning to the point of breathing is bad I’m weak/nausea to the point of can’t work or function then break …then feel gutted I’ve FAILED again 😢 you saying your doing it breaking for re feed on day 4 then carrying on (WHY didn’t I think of this 🤷♀️) Day four is my nemesis !! I feel really ill by end of days 4 always !! I’m going to do it your way to target and I can do my gym more if I re feed every four days I won’t get the sickness and breathing /weak issues or like you prob even NEED all the electrolytes , Thankyou! X
i agree with everything you said in this video. would also like to add that when i get hungry i ask myself am i really hungry or bored ? lol. most of the time I'm just bored. staying busy and remembering the why I'm fasting helps a lot. great video!
I've got 100 lbs to lose. I've been fasting OMAD in the last few weeks. I plan on extending this soon... I have also been walking 1 mile a day, which is so much MORE than I've moved in years. I have to UP the exercise and UP the length of fasts, but I'm making it happen! Baby steps!
I've had good luck with intermittent fasting (8 hour feeding window from noon until 8PM) and low carb diet (I guess it's keto but really is about 99% carnivore). How much weight have you lost so far, and how did you do it?
J Man! Really enjoyed the "Tips & Tricks" you gave to stay on point with a fast. This reminds me of the preflight checks that pilots perform. It's repetitive but necessary and when we do it we can get a "Reset' and go on to the next victory. Like you say: Wash, rinse, rep...wait...rep...wash...😂
Good job, fantastic progress! I'm 14 days into a fast, not quite sure how long I will go but basically no cravings once I made it to day 8. BTW, Your face and beard look good, but I thought the shaved sides looked a bit weird with that hairstyle. Perhaps just the timing of the video.
I like how you found what works for you, really good idea on the sun and taking a shower, I'll use those. Also, Redmond Electrolyte drink may be a better option than diet soda. It's pretty tasty, they have different flavors (and no, I'm not a paid sponsor, I just use it).
Every day is new...got cravings...but im pushing through my sugar addiction..watching this video make me white knuckle through...its hard..ready to eat every minst...but I must gain fasting muscle so got no choice...must stay true to my decision. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
Yes started carnivore again after fallen off the wagon...I want to live a long life. My son only have me...carnivore will help my sugar addiction...prayers sent to all who got sugar addiction or cravings...
I just found your channel. I've been fasting for a while now, mostly to heal my gut and Hashimotos Thyroiditis. I've done a 10 day fast - my longest to date but it's becoming hard. After day 3 it's normally a breeze but fatigue is getting to me. But the only time I'm not reacting to something in food is when I'm fasting. It's the only time I feel normal
Hello. Glad that I found your channel and congrats! It’s going to be day 14 of prolong fasting tomorrow. Going to do 30 days. Drinking smart water, homemade electrolyte water, black coffee and sugarless green tea. Also taking vitamins… My issue is getting nauseous when I’m out walking. ( not at first though ) I’ve been doing about 3 miles. Im used to walking up to 10+ miles, but can’t do it now. I think I’m not drinking enough water. ( adjusting to drinking more ) I don’t weigh myself, but I’ve dropped 2 dress sizes ( 14 to 10 ) I’m 5’9 and my goal is 140…wish me luck!
High-five prolonged fasting fren, I feel you, I find it hard to do much exercise while on prolonged, I get so tired if I do too much but it's so needed to maintain muscle, and it takes me a while to ramp up on the water too. I'm on day 8 of somewhere between 20-30. All the best do you to reach your goal!
Very interesting. Doing 4:3 and the weight is coming off but fairly slowly. I seem to regain most of what i lost each time i refeed. I may work in some longer fasts like you are doing. Thanks
When I get hungry, I say to myself youre not going to die you have fat calories on your body.
yeah nice advice 👍
Is that 100% true tho?
I'm pretty fat but I'm afraid to go past day 20
I keep thinking what if I don't wake up tomorrow
@@dv9239 do what you feel. Make sure you feel ok and take electrolytes.
@@dv9239 it's definitely not, overweight and obese people can still starve
@@dv9239 day what?
I find that if I keep carbs low after a refeed it's much easier to deal with the hunger. I had a student that lost significant weight and when I asked him about how he managed it, he said, "I finally discovered that it was okay to feel hungry." Great stuff, thanks for posting.
That makes sense. The problem is switching from burning fat for fuel (Ketosis) to burning glucose and back again. Eating low carb will keep you in ketosis even after you eat because all you're eating is fats and proteins. I may consider this.
Day 1: 217.8 lbs. Day 94: 156.2 lbs. = 61.6 lbs. (27.9 kg) lost in 94 days!
"In those 94 days, I've only eaten on 22 of those days, and on those 22 days, only for less than a 4-hour average. That's three months of doing this continuously, consecutive back-to-back-to-back 90 plus hour fasts."
1) Water fast for 4 days (96 hours). Refeed (4-6K calories) in a 4 Hour window. Repeat 22.56 times (100 hours x 22.56 = 94 days)
2) Walk a minimum of 1 hour per day. (10,000 steps per day. 5 miles.)
3) Strength train 3-6 days per week.(in the morning if possible)
4) Get sun.
5) Stay Hydrated. Drink plenty of water.
6) Stay busy. Stay productive. Purpose.
7) Get enough good sleep. (7+ hours a night)
8) Change your environment to a supporting one. Get rid of temptation.
9) Electrolytes. Vitamins. Minerals. (optional)
10) Don’t give up. It will take time. So give it time, and don’t give up!

How much weight have you lost on ADF?
So you fast for 4 days and eat for 4 hours then you start the 4 day fast again
Thank you ❤
Chew ice, brush your teeth, walk, clean, get busy with projects, etc. Stay the course! Nice channel, bud!
thanks
Good advice, brush teeth is big for me
chewing ice is so bad for your teeth, same with over brushing your teeth. I really hope nobody listens to this advice.
Yes, chewing ice is so good for me. I don't drink enough water and gravitate towards sugary drinks so this has been a great way to get the water I need
You know you're fasting hard when toothpaste starts tasting like heaven.

Good tips and all in a calm fasting friendly voice. It might be cliché but fasting and calmness go hand in hand.
Yes, it does for me. When I’m calm, my stomach doesn’t growl. When I get ready for my walk, I take ACV and lemon juice water with me. By the time I’m done exercising, there’s no hunger pangs, but it’s the calm mindset that really works, I’ve experienced.

I did ADF and lost 58 pounds between October and March. I strength train and gained a ton of muscle. Totally reshaped my body and life
How many days did u fast?
I do Alternate day fasting. I fast 3 days a week between Sunday and Thursday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I eat between 3PM and 11PM (Saturday I eat normally). This works the best for me and super easy. Quick results and It gives me the every other day and weekends with friends and family.
@@crew6227 thank you ❤️
Thank you for sharing!
Hi Jerome,
I’m new to your channel and so far I’ve really enjoyed it. Its hard to find quality channels that really talk about extended fasting. I’ve been doing IF for almost 2 months and I was doing 24 hour fasts and then eating. Just recently I’ve tried to push myself in taking my fasting window further. On Sunday I completed my first 50 hour fast! Im so new to extended fasting and I love listening and getting encouragement fuel to keep going!
Im down 30 lbs!
-Loretta
Do the damn thing!! Great work keep it up
In case this helps someone; worked myself up from 12/14 hrs, to 21 hrs starting Jan 27th. It's been informative :) -Never thought [based on past behavior] that I could ever make more than 14 hrs without following up with a binge. Finding this channel 2 wks ago has certainly helped.
Then, yestd. morning, after several successful 21h fasts, I broke at 15, bc of .."feelings"😅. Ate everything in sight [think hansel+gretel😆] until I felt better. Fortunately after the emotional haze cleared and better sense took control again, instead of the usual feeling bad about it, I just started again. Currently at 22h and feeling fine but yeah, looking fwd to my eating window this afternoon.
Credit to Jerome's inspiration and this supportive community for the push needed to just Start Again. Pleasant rest of the wk to all :)
Well done Jerome 👏👏
You're the man! Thanks. I needed to hear this today. I don't do a 100% fast, but I do 500 calories or less a day for a week or less here and there.
Your channel came up in my feed two days ago, binged a lot of your videos, and I’m about to be on hour 37 of my first 48 hour fast. As someone who also has had a huge appetite and had issues with eating too much, this is something I feel like I can actually do. I’m currently 6’2 and weigh 344 lbs. Always been a bigger guy my whole life. Hoping to get down to 220 lbs or so in the next year. Thanks so much for all the great information and inspiration ❤️
Nice protocol..I Have not heard of that one....makes long fasts easier and more manageable...😊
THIS GUY IS SO POSITIVE AND MOTIVATED. ILL SUBS NOW. 90 DAYS WATER FASTING LETS GO
Are you doing your fast now for 90 days?
@@kinda888 manage to reach 60 days only. losing 30kg. doing omad for 1 week and now im fasting again its almost 2 week gone. 10kg left to my ideal weight
Excellent tips , thank you , these are so many of the very best reminders! I’ve found most of these ideas to be true in my own journey and I love this listing!
No diet drinks for me though.
I would add that HOT DRINKS help get me thru tough moments, even if it’s just HOT WATER! Especially with a bit of salt. 🤷🏻♀️
⭐️ “Being hungry is your only con?” vs all the pros of fasting… fantastic
Hey! So happy to see you crushing it. Love your channel! I've never been a Mukbang person but when I'm fasting...omg, it helps to watch people eating. It is so strange but it just helps 😂
So im there with you. Another thing I loveee to do maybe after a week or 2 fasted...is cook for other people. And im talking gourmet meals and desserts. And im not, never have I been anywhere near a chef😂😂
Thanks for the inspiration as always!!!
I've just subscribed as I'm on a weight loss journey
Thank you for your channel
youve done well. good job bro
Man, good job. You found your willpower- your best friend in life
This is very inspiring.... I tried to fast and the max I could go was almost 2 days.... I will push more starting now! I used to be 70kg now I am 86kg! it really affected my liver and health.
Amazing video helped me do much
I was attempted to do 3/4 day fast per cycle and 4 hour refeeds. I actually came up with this on my own, it was reassuring to see you doing this method and it actually working. Will now get on this horse, I always struggle with food and I don't have the mental strength to pull away, all those good mindset goals when you do struggle portrayed by you will do wonders for me. So I appreciate giving me a glimpse in your journey.
I definitely want to water fast ! I need to . I’m concerned about taking my meds on an empty stomach though . I’ll keep watching
I’ve been going through stress lately, I need to start this tomorrow. Im tried of being big😭😭
Be kind to yourself. If you are new to fasting or out of practice, gently and gradually extend your fasting times.
Successful frequency of fasts overtime is more effective than jumping in to lengthy fasts.
Just keep at it, the first months are a battle of spirit and you do mess up but you just have to jump back on the horse and keep trying and overtime you get better and then you become so proud of yourself. I recommend drinking, apple cider vinegar and water with some Cayenne pepper every time you’re hungry. always helps me.
Fasting is stress to the body and increases cortisol levels so if you are stressed and anxious person I wouldn’t reccomend it
Good job man !!
Thanks for the helpful info!I just finished 90 hrs. I broke cuz I got gout of all things ! Never had that before😮Dehydration caused it. So In the past I struggled to get going again. I plan to push through tomorrow and drink lots more water. I’ trust it will get easier
You're a massive inspiration!
Holy sh*t 94 days?!?! Kudos man kudos 🎉
you are a hero man
I was fasting every tue and Thursday and you inspired me to just extend it...finished 82 this morning 🎉 going to keep going it was suprising very pleasant...
You look great, healthy, fit and tan!
I SO needed to see this and have followed you , the revelation I can break a fast re feed and start again immediately is a revelation ! I’ve done quiet a few times now in the last year longest 15 days solid then few 7 days BUT even taking electrolytes , potassium vits etc , I get super un functioning to the point of breathing is bad I’m weak/nausea to the point of can’t work or function then break …then feel gutted I’ve FAILED again 😢 you saying your doing it breaking for re feed on day 4 then carrying on (WHY didn’t I think of this 🤷♀️) Day four is my nemesis !! I feel really ill by end of days 4 always !! I’m going to do it your way to target and I can do my gym more if I re feed every four days I won’t get the sickness and breathing /weak issues or like you prob even NEED all the electrolytes , Thankyou! X
i agree with everything you said in this video. would also like to add that when i get hungry i ask myself am i really hungry or bored ? lol. most of the time I'm just bored. staying busy and remembering the why I'm fasting helps a lot. great video!
the metrics are super. Very helpful
This video was a game changer for me!!!
Thanks My take away is being hungry for a little while ain’t gonna kill us 😊. I expect to be hungry and try to plan what to do if I am.
I started by chugging some water and then push ups and walking when I’m hungry to fill the time
Excellent
Very inspiring
keeping busy also helps when dealing with all types of addiction, it helped me get past my nicotine, coffee, and alcohol addictions
I've got 100 lbs to lose. I've been fasting OMAD in the last few weeks. I plan on extending this soon...
I have also been walking 1 mile a day, which is so much MORE than I've moved in years.
I have to UP the exercise and UP the length of fasts, but I'm making it happen! Baby steps!
Love this! You got this!
updates @dmL?
How did it go?
I've had good luck with intermittent fasting (8 hour feeding window from noon until 8PM) and low carb diet (I guess it's keto but really is about 99% carnivore).
How much weight have you lost so far, and how did you do it?
I just came across this video and wanted to say Congratulations!!! I started Kempner’s Rice diet 02/10/2024 it’s very trying!!!
How is the rice diet going?
🎉good job!
J Man!
Really enjoyed the "Tips & Tricks" you gave to stay on point with a fast. This reminds me of the preflight checks that pilots perform. It's repetitive but necessary and when we do it we can get a "Reset' and go on to the next victory.
Like you say:
Wash, rinse, rep...wait...rep...wash...😂
Congratulations 👏🏾🎉
Good job, fantastic progress! I'm 14 days into a fast, not quite sure how long I will go but basically no cravings once I made it to day 8. BTW, Your face and beard look good, but I thought the shaved sides looked a bit weird with that hairstyle. Perhaps just the timing of the video.
I like how you found what works for you, really good idea on the sun and taking a shower, I'll use those. Also, Redmond Electrolyte drink may be a better option than diet soda. It's pretty tasty, they have different flavors (and no, I'm not a paid sponsor, I just use it).
Every day is new...got cravings...but im pushing through my sugar addiction..watching this video make me white knuckle through...its hard..ready to eat every minst...but I must gain fasting muscle so got no choice...must stay true to my decision. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
Yes started carnivore again after fallen off the wagon...I want to live a long life. My son only have me...carnivore will help my sugar addiction...prayers sent to all who got sugar addiction or cravings...
I just found your channel. I've been fasting for a while now, mostly to heal my gut and Hashimotos Thyroiditis. I've done a 10 day fast - my longest to date but it's becoming hard. After day 3 it's normally a breeze but fatigue is getting to me. But the only time I'm not reacting to something in food is when I'm fasting. It's the only time I feel normal
Hello. Glad that I found your channel and congrats!
It’s going to be day 14 of prolong fasting tomorrow. Going to do 30 days. Drinking smart water, homemade electrolyte water, black coffee and sugarless green tea. Also taking vitamins…
My issue is getting nauseous when I’m out walking. ( not at first though ) I’ve been doing about 3 miles. Im used to walking up to 10+ miles, but can’t do it now. I think I’m not drinking enough water. ( adjusting to drinking more )
I don’t weigh myself, but I’ve dropped 2 dress sizes ( 14 to 10 ) I’m 5’9 and my goal is 140…wish me luck!
High-five prolonged fasting fren, I feel you, I find it hard to do much exercise while on prolonged, I get so tired if I do too much but it's so needed to maintain muscle, and it takes me a while to ramp up on the water too. I'm on day 8 of somewhere between 20-30. All the best do you to reach your goal!
Very interesting. Doing 4:3 and the weight is coming off but fairly slowly. I seem to regain most of what i lost each time i refeed. I may work in some longer fasts like you are doing. Thanks
You're amazing ❤ ranadhan round the corner, I've started fasting and walking, so by the time I start Islamic fasting I'll be in better shape.
