I've done many fasts and a 40 day fast once. After about 3 or 4 days, hunger goes away and you, actually, start to have a lot of energy. At some point, you aren't hungry anymore, but realize how much time you spend buying, preparing, thinking about and eating food. It is almost more about those things than being hungry. Anyway, I highly recommend fasting...and praying!
@Conqueror's haki That never happened to me and I don't want to give you bad advice. I am not an expert, nor a doctor. If it were me, then i would strongly consider ending the fast. 17 days is a long time. Take care!
@@bittercoffee113 There will be a good chance you will have hair shedding that you will notice a month or so after the fast. The longer the fast the more likely this will happen. Hair is at the very bottom of the priority list for the body, so when protein and nutrients are low it can cause hair follicles to shut down and go to sleep. This isn't hair loss as when you return to eating those hair follicles will come back into the growing stage. Chronic and long term nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances cause hair loss. Bones will be broken down as well through autophagy, but this again will be quickly regenerated when you start eating and healing again. Fasting is amazing but doing it too much and not allowing the body to heal and recover can cause issues as your eating away at the body but not allowing it time to recover. Fasting is two parts, the actual fasting and then the eating and recovery aswell.

@@susanturnbull9773 Yes, I know fully what you mean, Susan. A single insight or phrase can move a mountain! I have cancer and severe breathing problems, and am morbidly obese. Recently I have started on a ketotonic diet and a dairy-free regime, to prepare for my surgery to have a kidney removed. It is hard to say 'no' to sugar and carbs, but, as you so rightly argue, it is harder to look in the mirror with self-loathing and feelings of guilt and regret for neglecting one's health over the years (I am 71). As for me, I believe firmly that seventy is, or can be, the new forty, so I don't feel old 'inside' at all, (and I'm still a whizz at mental arithmetic!) It's never too late. Also, I hope and believe that should I not get through the surgery I will go to be with my beautiful Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. So either way, I am a winner! God bless you.
@@lala4461 Could you do better? Some quotes are worth repeating, and if someone's life is enriched by them it doesn't matter to them whether or not the comment is original. We all of us, including you, repeat things which have helped, amused, or impressed us, and that is surely a good thing.To demand that everything we say must be 'original' is to make all previous wisdom redundant. As the great Isaac Newton once said: 'If I have seen further than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of the giants that have gone before me'. But just to please you, TINH, let me say something original - huh-hmm; 'The prepackaging of osmotic matter is due to the frenzied aroma of chick peas in a golden galleon'.

This is my first 24hrs of fasting. I'm aiming for 30days to get rid of the high blood pressure, cholesterol and borderline diabetes. Not excluding the excess weigh. Please pray for me. I need a change in my eating behaviors
You can get rid of all that under 30 days. You'll see a difference in a week. The trick is; once you've fasted and continuously followed a eating schedule, you must maintain the lifestyle. Otherwise, the weight will come back, the pains will come back and the medication will come back.
I am on day 36 of my 40 day water fast. 44lbs lost so far. I remember watching this video before starting. I take a multivitamin, B complex, vitamin C, magnesium supplement, sea salt, and usually 2-3 liters of water every day. I’ll likely hit 50lbs lost by the conclusion of this, which is 4 days away as of writing this. I did this for more than weight loss. I woke one Sunday morning feeling depressed and sick of the direction my life was going. It was the morning after a night of bad eating and drinking. I was tired of being tired of being tired. I couldn’t stand looking at the person in the mirror, and I was tired of the toxic relationships I had with people who used you when they needed something, but were nowhere to be found when they were doing good. A fast as a hard reset on my life was the best thing I could have ever done to find clarity in my life.
@@andrewdiolosa3861 Oh yea. 70 hours per week. Plus flying up to 3-5 times per week as well. Tomorrow is day 40 for me, thankfully. Close to 50lbs lost.
Fasting is such a great body and mind reset tool. Love it. Will do it till I die. I feel great when fasting. Mind is widening and improving on a daily basis. The constant food injection is making the opposite. Making the body busy with processing that food, but the body and mind are dependent on the carbs every 3 to 4 hours. And then hunger. No more hunger while on fasting and keto.
at 144 hours right now. I feel fantastic. 5 mile bike ride each of last 3 days, no issues. I have PAD and when fasting the pain of exerting doesn't occur
Nobody will understand the benefits of fasting until they fast... and then, boom, a new understanding of life and spirituality will unfold upon them and in front of them. God bless people like you 2. I've fasted for 25 days in a row many years ago. It was the best time of my life.
Hey! I plan to do this when my fridge becomes empty of last weeks grocery shop! My plan is to meditate and practise Qigong/yoga - and beyond! A big believer in Christ and know that He will be fasting with me during the time.
I’m currently on day 3/40 of my water fasting. I was diagnosed with leukemia 2 years ago, got cancer free for a year but now my blood tests are showing leukemia cells again. I’m praying that I will cure or at least help the cancer not to spread more. Please pray for me 😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😔 Edit: I ended my water fasting on a day 26/40. I didn’t mind at all the fast heartbeat which I think i had it because of dehydration, but I started being concerned when I had body chills. Literally on the day 25 I was feeling so cold. The benefits are beyond imagination though. I lost 25 pounds, I was taking 2 bp medications and now I take None. My skin looks so smooth like I am 10 years younger and my vision is so much better. Now I am eating one meal a day OMAD because I am scared that leukemia will come back. I am determined to do a 3 days water fasting once or twice a month until I am completely cancer free! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the prayers the support and love. I wish health, happiness and blessings to all of you guys! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️ God bless you all. Hello again today is September 15th, 2024. First of I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the wishes and advices. Second of all two days ago I had my last appointment with my Hematologist and my test came back negative, no cancer cells found 😭. I have done a 25 days water fasting a 21 days, and a 42 days since January of 2024. I have reverse my type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and from 228 pounds I’m 167 lbs so far. Fasting is a God send medication that heals every disease and is totally free. Sending a big hug to every each of you who prayed for me ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It hilarious that god tells us some things can only be done through fasting and prayer and here we are listening to scientists saying fasting is the only thing that can help certain conditions. God has been so good to us.

@@ellanola6284 but I AM doing the keto and fasting - two weeks now, and the tummy rumbling is soo loud, lol. Also, I can not fall asleep at night if hungry so I eat late, then fast all day while at work. People stare at me !!!
@@AMonikaD My advice is to cut out wheat stuff entirely. But if you must eat it, eat it before noon. Another thing you should have noticed is that if you swill down some good oil like avocado or olive, you wont be hungry. Try doing that at bedtime instead, It has HUGE health benefits. FI, on the days, twice a week, when i take my tablespoon of cod liver oil at dawn, i can go til noon and never feel hungry. Oils make you lose weight, not gain weight. One of the worse things in the western diet is wheat.
I did a 30 water fast Sept.2019, which kicked off my health journey. I've lost about ~90 lbs since then. I was vegan when I started but a very unhealthy processed vegan. I have maintained the weight loss with plant based vegan OMAD and working out daily. My health is awesome! I'm currently on day 10 of a water fast as it was time of the year for another reset and wanted to shed last few lbs off. Crazy when I'm fasting all I do is watch fasting vids and documentaries...lol
@Queen Ma’at NegonYah -I’m on day 5, and I’m doing the same thing lol. Binging on fasting vids. Curious specifically how you re-introduced foods. Also, sorry to ask, but did you have a large bowel movement around day 14? Finally, did u use salt or electrolytes? 3 questions hahaa thanks so much!!
Fuckin A. I fasted for keto, felt so clear and energetic it was unreal -right before qualifying for the Boston Marathon. Shaved 20 minutes off my time. Mentally felt better than any other time in my life.
Yes when I did a 7 day fast all the sudden everyone was so concerned and telling me it’s dangerous and I needed to eat and I didn’t need to lose weight. I wasn’t doing it to lose weight I was trying to benefit from cell repair as I was in absolute agony with back pain. People really made the situation worse so I wouldn’t tell anyone if I did it again and just avoid people altogether.
Facts! Most people who say this say it from a place of illiteracy and I usually tell them, listen you yourself have got this and this and this health problem, I think you should water fast with me you will benefit more than me. That normally shuts them up lol.
I agree. People get really, really weird about food, and depriving yourself. It's really a fascinating thing to see. Maybe because we're so hard-wired into eating for survival, people just do a knee-jerk reaction?
a work friend once told me that best way to stick to a diet is to not tell anyone you are on a diet. If they asked, she would lie and say she was just craving cucumber. It is much the same. Many will feel threatened by your choices.. like it is some kind of judgement on them.I have water fasted a few times and never told anyone.
I’m on day 27 of my 40 day water fast. I have kidney failure and it’s not recommended for kidney failure patients to fast. 60 days ago I decided to eat a raw vegan diet and 27 days ago decided to start a water fast. Haven’t been to dialysis once. Sometimes trusting yourself and knowing your body is best. I meditated on the idea that my kidneys work perfectly every day. Thankful for an opportunity to heal myself. I encourage any kidney failure patient to try along with consulting a doctor. What I did wasn’t necessarily safe to be honest. Was just so sick of dialysis.
wow respect, do you just water fast? Or do you use some minerals ? Like sodium (or salt) etc? How is your breath? Did you feel alcohol like breath? Or feeleing in your mouth? It is something like acidic ? When I did 21 days fast I had this symptomes. I felt extremely tired all the time, I think is it maybe because I did not take salt?? Whats your energy level? How about your energy in muscles, are they "heavy" or "tired" ? Thanks for possible answer and hope it will help you, last question what will be you first meal?
@Brett M yea you are right, I can confirm from my own experience, In 21 days I drink just water, but It was hard.... tired all the time, heavy muscles, problem with sleep etc etc... When I did 6 days fast but with salt I had same level of energy maybe even more, sleep was better (not perfect but when I compare It was better) not heavy muscles and pretty ok energy I could even do litle exercise like yoga... so yes definitely there should be some information about electrolytes in 10+ days fasting, you are basically dehydrated because of osmosis... your body sucks at retaining sodium when you dont have insulin spikes, When I am on keto diet I can take 2-3 times more salt than before and I am completely fine, I dont know about potassium and from where could I get in on fast like sodium (which is from salt) Yea I know that there is potassium chloride just like sodium chloride but when you think about our ancestors could they supplement potasium chloride ?? I think not so our body must have some evolutionary mechanism how to retain potassium better when we fast and another fact is that potassium Is most abundant mineral in our cells sodium is outside of cells so we do not need so much because we do not lose it so much like sodium (sweat, urine etc)
Classic information!!! The bibles talks about fasting and that s no coincidence- God knows best!!! After all, he designed us ! If you put diesel in a petrel engine...
When I decided to do a 40 day water fast, I had recently been diagnosed with mild arthritis on my left shoulder. Even though it was 'mild' the pain was unbearable. On top of that, I was 25 kg overweight so I had plenty of fat stores. I was 47 year old then and after the 40 days of water fasting I felt like a 20 year old and my skin looked amazing! AND the arthritis went away and hasn't come back. I drank only tap water with a pinch of Himalayan salt, I also drank sugar free electrolyte drinks, a vitamin supplement, iron (I had low iron) taken with water and lemon (to increase its absorption) and every night I used pure magnesium oil on my legs.I was working while on the fast so the last two weeks of fasting were a little taxing as I was feeling lethargic but my mental clarity remained despite the tiredness. I also noticed some muscle mass loss but I at least I felt that I had a 'blank' canvas to work with after the fast meaning I would be able to goto the gym and build muscle on a body that had much less fat stores than when I started the fast. I'm not telling you to fast for 40 days because I am not a medical practitioner but I can say that it worked for me. Also, if you are a spiritual person, it benefits you tremendously. After the fast, it is important that you break the fast the proper way and then do a lifestyle change to maintain the benefits you obtained on the fast. Having a healthy diet, exercising and building muscle mass is paramount to having a functional and quality of life particularly if you want to age well and be able to do the things you enjoy. If you go back to your old habits, unfortunately you will again suffer the same ailments that you had before, so it needs to be a conscious decision to do a complete overhaul of your lifestyle.
Did the vitamin supplement upset your stomach at all? I want to do a longer fast and want to make sure I take enough supplements but I’m afraid I might feel queasy taking vitamins. :)
Tony Phylactou you don’t have too because you didn’t live my life. I did salts in my water and I was very proud of myself. It takes a lot of willpower and hard work. I did it for 40 days because Jesus did. I been living this life style for awhile now and I personally love it. I had a really big cyst when I started and I am so proud to say my body dissolved it. Unbelievable healing powers with fasting, look into it and i would never ever go back to eating 3 meals a day ever again. God bless you on your Journey 😌
I fasted no food just water and plain tea with lemon for 46 days and just recently broke it. I lost almost 50 pounds and my body completely reset itself, regenerated and restored from the inside out. I’d suddenly started dealing with blood pressure issues and other health problems which the doctor prescribed me medication for that I absolutely refused to take so I prayed about it and God led me on what I thought was a 21 day fast of no food just water but it was actually a 46 day fast instead. My body completely changed as if it was repaired to new. I’m currently on zero medications and my blood pressure previously 180/99 is currently 117/80 with a normal pulse and no other issues in my body, completely healthy, PRAISE GOD! I also have a lot of energy and I definitely sleep better now and longer. Once I broke it I had to start off eating very light because my stomach could only handle a very small portion of food. Of course I thought eating vegetables were ok but, NOT. I thought I was going to die after I ate little of them so I started throwing up nonstop which was the worst feeling and my stomach was turning flips amongst other things which I won’t mention and I almost passed out. FYI, after a long period of fasting a little bone broth would probably be better once it’s broken. Since breaking my fast about 2 weeks now I’ve only been eating one meal a day drinking just water with lemon and eating no junk foods, fast foods nor sweets. I eat organic everything, lots of vegetables, I cook all of my meals now because I know what going in them. I buy only organic grass fed meat which I still don’t eat a lot of (meat that is) My whole lifestyle of eating has completely changed without the slightest cravings for any of the mess I was addicted to eating before. I don’t even miss it. Fasting is definitely one of the greatest benefits to having a healthier body. Denying your body the thing it craves most is actually giving your body what it need most and that’s no food for an extended period of time. Be blessed on your journey to becoming a better and healthier you through fasting.
I'm at 43 days right now and I feel great. I have tons of energy. I sleep great and my skin looks smoother. I started developing high blood pressure as I got older and now my pressure is normal. Went and had a complete work up on everything. Doctor said there was nothing wrong with me and said I was in perfect shape.
Please give me advice on how to do this. What do I drink, how much, what supplements, refeeding, how not to die, if I can't keep water down cause I wanna vomit how do I overcome... So many questions
@@axg93 Drink three litres a day. One cup at a time. It can be straight water or so many litres of tea. I like green tea/ herbal tea. One cup has Himalayan pink salt and potassium chloride added. Try a 24 hour one. Eat your evening meal at 5:30 pm. In the morning just start drinking and at say 6:00 pm that evening have a nice meal. In a few weeks try a 36 h. I am on my 5th fast in 9 months. Last time three months ago I did 93 hours. I'm 70 in now and will be going to 120 hours this time. I went swimming today will walk tomorrow for a couple of hours. Take your time and enjoy the experience. You won't die lol 😉
Hi guys, quick update. I did it! I completed the fast on April 3rd at 3pm and I couldn't be more proud of myself for the achievement. During the fast I consumed absolutely nothing but bottled water. No supplements, no tea, no coffee. Nothing. I can't say if I'd recommend people do that as the prolonged experience of zero electrolytes is unpleasant as best. I intend to do another 30 day fast likely in May, this time with the addition of magnesium and potassium supps to experience the difference. Ultimately I lost exactly 53.7lbs, down from almost exactly 400 lbs and I feel fantastic. I've been on a little break so I can enjoy some of my favorite foods (in moderation of course) so starting Monday I'll go back to 1 meal a week for the rest of April untill I do another 30 in May.
I was struggling with my weight when I was younger so I made up my mind that I would begin fasting..i started in June and by Xmas had lost 72 pounds...i was able to keep it off for the rest of the following years by using this same method. It made me feel very spiritual as the time passed n my body purified. Most people did not even know who I was because I changed so much. At the time I was 26 years old....Im now 65..

@@Star-Bright Hi Star - ONLY WATER! Three liters a day. Toward the end of my fast I took some rehydrate rehydration fluids (only use those from a pharmacy). One must also be mindful that levels of uric acid may increase. A good mineral alkaline powder that contains calcium, magnesium, Phosphoros, and potassium is suggested to provide some alkalinity while providing some lost minerals and to prevent Gout attacks. Hope this helps ;) (take a rehydration supplement if you feel dizzy, or very dry skin, dry mouth etc. Monitor hydration at all times!)
I'm on day 1 of my 21-day fast. I recently had these small bumps coming over my body after my period for the past 4 months. At first, I thought it was a heat bump, but I started to discover the pattern. The heat bump comes after five days of my period. It won't go away for about two weeks, and it is very painful. I started to google and found it to be an autoimmune condition called HS. Luckily, my one is not so severe, but it leaves behind scars. So far, I have had it around my armpits and my buttocks. I was completely shattered when I read that it was uncurable. The same day, I found a video about fasting, and some of them posted that they had recovered from autoimmune disease by fasting. Please pray for my recovery, guys ❤.
My mental health cleared when i stopped consuming- sugar wheat (gluten) salt oil and all processed carbs.I found the best most focused mental state.I became lean and slim i loved myself more and chased my true dreams i started a business during the lockdown and its booming - good times - discipline is the key.
Your post is inspiring me to do just like you.... I have a lot going on and am about to graduate and despite earning my degree, i am honestly not 100% what track to take. I would love to have my own business and would love to help others... Maybe a fast will like you, set me on the right direction. TY ❤️

Suggestion for your next fast and to others - the first few days can be the hardest so if you are three days in and feeling good I would suggest you keep going as it gets easier and the benefits of better health, no hunger, lots of energy, mental/brain improvements and not needing too much sleep and waking early and refreshed start to reveal themselves. Plus you have a lot of extra time! And keep a detailed diary of your experiences/feelings - that's very helpful. I'm on day four of my third fast as I type. I highly recommended fasting.
@@Voltornator as day 5 comes to an end I must say I was far less hungry today than the last 4 days. I wasn’t even thinking about food as much or anything. Since day 5 was a success i like to think I’ll keep it up!

Just did a 7 day water only fast and it was the best thing I have ever done for my mental wellbeing. I am continuing on a ketogenic diet and it seems to keep the benefits going...ketones baby! To anyone struggling with depression / anxiety: PLEASE do yourself a favor and push thru the first 3 days and you will be amazed. I have bipolar and the mindset at the end of the fast was similar to the positive and energetic feeling I usually have on my manic episodes except NO irrability, NO grandiosity, NO impulsiveness, NO unrealistic thinking etc... my mind felt so patient, clear, focused, and in the moment, normal, happy. Got shit done, made plans, was relaxed and social with people, enjoyed the little things. Even had a chill good time with my parents! (alone worth the price of admission) Got to meet the good in myself and my surroundings after a long period of depression. This experience was magical and I have continued on with a new found confidence and inner peace. DO IT.

Did a 7 day fast a few weeks ago. I was on 3 blood pressure medications and Metformin for diabetes. Even on 3 BP medications I was living with 145/95+ on a daily basis. After 4 days I was 115/70. I’ve maintained a normal BP for over 2 weeks. In addition to this, my blood glucose levels are normal (80-100). Typically my glucose levels were 125-145. After my 7 day fast I’ve maintained one meal per day. I’m down 28 pounds, from 255 pounds to 227. Fasting works!!
Dr. Robert Lustig is all over this! Amazing that Clapton had pinpointed it. I needed to hear it then experiment to know it. My first week off sugar and starch was the hardest thing I've ever done and cried many times. Then a rainbow came out, and everything was wonderful. Every time I think, "I'm strong enough now to enjoy the party and have cake," I have a tough week staying on track.
LOL. What pulp fiction. - Pretty much everyone's first addiction is sugar, because of idiotic parents who know nothing about 1. raising kids 2. nutrition Why do you think pop, fruit juice, and candy sell well? - His second addiction was alcohol. - third was sex. - fourth was cocaine. - fifth was heroin. Most people don't get addicted to any of 2 to 5. So that blows that theory out of the fasting water.

Just a few months ago I had this strange pain and lump that started in my right breast. My right breast seemed to be swelling 😢. I decided to start my 30 days fast specifically 22hour fast with a small keto diet, enough hydration and no sugars for breaking the fast❤ Am currently on my 7th day and to my greatest surprise the lump and pain are no more 😮!!!. My breast is swelling no more😮 I confirmed with a breast scan and physical with a doctor and everything is very normal!!. I feel so good and get good sleep too❤
22 hr fast with a low carb diet is quite easy to do. With so much benefit, there's no reason to stop. I'd advise light exercise to preserve muscle mass. Otherwise, the muscles may be tapped for energy... if not used.
My brother did a 40 day water fast & lost 55 lbs. People just have no idea how little food you actually need to live. He was in good shape when he finished it too
this is so true. we really don’t need much! especially overweight people, we have so much stored fats and nutrients that we can survive extreme lengths without food!
I fast 24 to 36 hours two times every week for 7 weeks and even that gave me so much energy. On my fasting days I am very motivated to move my body and my mind is so clear! I'm feeling like a new woman now! I lost a lot of my overweight and would really recommend to try it.
I have only ever made it 5 days of water fasting although I strive for more. The personal benefits: 1) I enjoy raw vegetables again, because it retrains your taste buds 2) I have more portion control power and increased ability to avoid processed addictive foods 3) weight loss 4) clear skin 5) cured of excema over time of doing this 6) clarity of thought 7) more productive 8) increased sex drive The bible talks about fasting and that's how I started.
The Bible is the infallible word of God. People who read and apply it will know that Fasting helps believers get closer to God. Give up the flesh and the Spirit is renewed, along with the body. Thank you Jesus 🙏
5 days is pretty solid. 4 is my max. But I usually do a couple days a month -- almost 4 months total water fasting over 5 yrs. Goal is to clear out cellular/subcellular junk before autophagy drops off after 65 yrs old.
I am on day five of my water fast. My goal is 30 days but my ultimate goal is 40 days. I’ve done dozens on 24hr, 48hr, 72hr, and couple of 10 day fast. The longest fast I’ve done was 20 days in 2016. Pray for me y’all! This covid got me needing a miracle, a personal reset, I feel guided towards this! I’ll update comments if requested
I recently completed a 7 day fast drinking only water. I just can’t believe how I feel now. It’s amazing. I found it very easy to start as I was already on a time restricted eating regime eating only one or 2 meals a day within a 5 hour window. I didn’t feel hungry at all within the 7 days. I felt I could have continued for more than 7 days. Day 5 and 6 of the fast I felt I needed more sleep. My on going back lower back pain from spinal surgery a year ago was causing me real trouble. However on day 8 I woke up with no back pain and fabulous skin texture. No bags under my eyes. Not sure what has happened inside but I feel absolutely wonderful. I am 69 years old this August and feel more like I am back in my twenties again. Gail
@@ashmora8296 felt good and continue to feel good. I think it reset my whole body. I have an eating habit of only one meal per day but think I should go to two meals because I believe I am getting too thin. Gail
My father waterfasted twice in his life, first when he was like 18 for 25 days and then when he was 55 for 19 days, healthiest man ever, he never gets sick, rarely has a cold, a headache or anything like that and it's always in a good mood. The weigh loss is great but fasting does so much more for you.
@@sofahitam_id2412 All people die, of course. But the way a lot of people go down is tough, painful, freedom limiting. And the reason for a lot of that is their body has a lifetime of junk in it and the internal garbage man ( autophagy ) works less and less, allowing things to pile up. Fasting clears out the toxins, bad cells, defunct pieces on a subcellular level ahead of time so that when the garbage man stops working, your issues won't pile up nearly as fast. I am 55 and have a 1 yr old grandson. I hope that in 15 years I can still be physically active to be a part of his life. That is my goal.
Guys -- if you do a long fast remember to eat very little the day after you end it. Eat almost nothing And scale it up slowly or you will end up in hospital. This is very important.
Thank you. No one's talking about this very important point. I heard if a pastor's wife who died after a 40 day fast from eating a big meal immediately after the fast ended...
I fasted 21 days and coming off the fast could barely eat before being very full. Also, goes very, very fast through the system for at least a week. It is hard to see how anyone could end up eating too much after a long fast.
This isn't true. If our ancestors went hungry for weeks and then suddenly managed to get food are you telling me that they thought 'oh I had better eat this food slowly over many days otherwise I might die'. No, they would eat as much as they could until they were stuffed and before it rotted or something else ate it first. I never believed it was dangerous to eat normally after a fast so I tried it myself after a 2 week water fast. I ate as much of whatever I was craving until I was stuffed and it the most delicious thing ever. The worst thing that happened was that I urgently needed a massive crap an hour later. Interestingly I couldn't eat anywhere near as much as I had intended to either because my stomach had shrunk.
@@SIBUK Ahh.. an armchair expert. Our ancestors did not "go hungry for weeks". But if you don't believe me, try it out yourself. Write from hospital telling us I was correct. Hope you live to tell us.
VERY MUCH SO!!!!!!!! BEEN THERE, DONE THAT! WAS FORCED TO EAT 3X A DAY, and it ALMOST KILLED ME! I BLEW UP, GOT ALL INFLSMED, AND FELT I WAS GOING TO BURST! It was the WORST CONSTIPATION EVER! A very stupid spiritual father al.ost killed me with that, and I badically just ate soup to obey him! But it was just WAY TOO MUCH AFTER A 6 WEEK FAST (WEEKDAYS)! GOOD ADVICE. OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE! xo~A
@Tafari I And the non religious people you refer to fasted because fasting tradition has been passed on by religions, as has much that has benefited modern mankind. It's sad that many people today have little insight into the heritage of civilization and the central role religion played in that. As for the flesh being the same, you don't know what you are talking about. Moses and Jesus fasted completely from water and food for 40 days and nights. If you think that is achievable by others, go and try. But write a will first.
@Tafari I Where's your evidence non religious people existed throughout history? You won't find any, because non religious communities did not thrive, nor learn languages and writing and making of books. Why do you think Homosapien Neanderthals buried their dead 75,000 years ago? Why do you think Australian Aboriginals cremated their dead 40,000 years ago? Why do you think later Neanderthals were buried with utilitarian relics? Why do you think the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge were built? Without exception, every significant enduring community of humans had religious beliefs and customs. American Indians, Indian Indians, Indonesians, Tribes in the Amazon, early Koreans.....wherever you go, enduring communities have believed in supernatural God or Gods, and have passed on their cultural wisdom through religious ceremony and custom....which includes fasting. It is testament to the subversive influence of atheistic forces today, that people such as yourself are so patently ignorant about history. You must be very young, and very naive. Show me your evidence anyone on the internet, who says they fasted from all food and fluid for 40 days, is telling the truth. Go tell your doctor you intend to do this, and I bet he gets you certified mentally ill.
The part starting at 33:00 is definitely resonating to me. I was fat and tired, which made little sense because we always think of food as energy. How can someone be full of energy and yet still be tired? I was eating out all the time - not always fast food, but definitely wasn't healthy food. One day, I was tired of being fat because I couldn't fit into my normal clothes anymore (during covid). I started eating healthy, but realized how much I didn't like vegetables because my parents never made me eat it. After the first few days, I stopped eating as often because I started to only eat when I was hungry. With natural foods, I found myself pushing each meal back as my body no longer worked around being hungry during meal times. Now I'm eating once a day, without having to count calories without heavy hunger signals. My blood pressure has since then hit normal, which I've had BP issues ever since 15 years ago. I sleep better, I no longer get hangry, and so far I'm 30 lbs down (I started at 235) in 6 weeks and feel healthier than ever. Once your body shifts over to enjoying whole/normal foods again, it will be so so so much better. It's an investment.
I water fasted 93 and 96 hours back to back with a 4 hour eating window, after the 96 Hours I was not hungry at all or craving anything it’s amazing once you stop eating and reset your body, it literally stops craving food. I lost 19 pounds in 10 days while walking as well but it’s amazing to see.
Congrats. I'm doing the same as you. Rolling 96 hour fasts with a 4 hour refeed window. Much easier than a 40 day fast. In fact, I just don't see the point of a 40 day fast tbh. 96 hours is plenty
@@lambdragon the longer the fast, the slower you want to introduce food back. Dr.Mindy Peltz here on RUclips is really get it in details. Broth is what you start with, then some fermented food like sauerkraut. Try not to eat sugars as you will be really hungry. Make a plan for meals to break the fast - it’s the hardest part of the fast. Hunger ends pretty quickly but after you break the fast - it feels like you’ve never ate....lol
@@irinab7524 thanks for replying me, mid of jan i am trying fast, the longest i can stand is 5day, too hungry and no energy, when i am start eating my first meal i am like gulfing anything on meal table, that experience giv i am not ready yet for the long fasting, now i fast evert 3 day, on day 4 i start mid afternoon wirh fresh cranberry juice mix with vege juice, after 2 hour i start with boiled sweet potato, , then dinner i eat whatever i want, not sure it correct or not
This video reinforces what I’ve found from fasting (+praying) and reintroducing healthy, plant based foods into your temple. I’ve struggled over the years with remaining consistent with this lifestyle but not only does your body thank you but your mind and spirit are lifted to a state that I can only explain as being God-like. This popping up on my feed is a blessing and a gentle reminder from the Most High that I must persist to resist the negative and submit to what I believe is the true meaning of life, and life abundantly!
I’m an Inuit woman who’s parents died from alcoholism. It was an easy choice to not drink. I know that being an orphan triggered my fear of starvation. It’s a daily decision to eat my ancestors diet: fish, fat and whole real food. My reward in life: holding my grandchildren and teaching them how to feel JOY 💗 Life is wonderful!
It's a cheat sistem humans have, we fill our body with dopamine so our lives seems better when in fact it isn't, the best thing we can do to get a better life is making it better on a daily basis, numbing ourselves with bad food and habits is not the way to create a better life... most people will never live withouy their addiction because being sober on life is actually difficult. But being drunk in a housefire is a thousand times worse.
Matthew 6:16-18 16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
I admire your will power Raquel, I can barely make it 20 hours on a fast. I could probably learn a thing or two from you. I noticed you said you did a water fast, and that may be where I went wrong, because I wasn't drinking water. Does filling up with water suppress the hunger ?
Love listening to his speed of delivery. I was raised mostly plant based by a nurse, and I'm 74. She was ahead of her time. Great stories in comments. I really enjoy fasting, and I have convinced a couple to do it. Intermittent fasting is really helping people to understand how important fasting is. Strange how long it took to change the viewpoint. Great content. Thanks Rich.
The spiritual benefits of fasting will lift you up like a hurricane! Once your mindset is right, nothing will stop your willpower to fast for as long and as often as you want. DO IT! 🌱🤍
I’m in fasting right now and today is my 23rd day. Not gonna lie, breaking my fasting comes to my mind a dozen times now cause there a times that i crave so much about certain foods. Now watching this video puts me back and adds encouragement to reach that 40days goal. And by the way, i already lost 10kgs.
You were sugar dependent when you started. Sugar comes from refined sugar products and carbs. Better plan .. Break sugar dependence but doing smaller fasts and working up.
@@Kitiwake Yes, that’s what my doctor told me, and warned me that in less than a year i will be diabetic if i will not change my eating habit. And surprisingly enough, when I told her that I’m planning to do 40 days fasting, she said that it’s better than any prescription she could give.
I’m officially 4 days into my fast. I thought that this would be the toughest task of my life, but it has been the complete opposite. My craving for food went out of the window after the second day. I thought that I would experience weakness, but I’ve actually gained strength that I didn’t know I possessed. I’ve also lost 9 pounds! This experience has been nothing short of amazing!
@Clark Kent thank you. I had to stay busy. Sleeping was also the next best thing. You’ve got this! I’d also be interested in an update about your experience
@Clark Kent I totally understand what you’re saying because I stopped cold turkey as well. I’ve only hit a j twice in 5 years. I also never smoked anything other than that. There are people who are still in awe that I quit the way that I did. They always ask how and why. I didn’t even crave it for about 3 years. It was so strange to me because I also went through 3-4 grams per day. The past two years is when the cravings came back, and that’s when the two hits came into play. It was all a mental thing for me. I trained myself to think different which led to me being different. I also believe in you because I can tell that you really want change from what you’re saying. Practice consistency, and things will change. You can also reach out to me on IG if you have one.
The first two days are usually horrible. After that, you generally lose the desire for food. If you can get through the first couple of days, you start to feel energetic even after many days. You'll probably have periods of tiredness or lightheadedness but those usually clear up if you lie down a while.
I’ve tried to influence my elderly, obese mother the past few years to eat more wfpb, she’s definitely not there, but has eaten much better and her last dr visit (luckily I went with her) she had lost like 20# over about 6 months and she even told him she had been eating better and feeling better and walking some...he tells her that she has lost too weight and he was worried she may have cancer!! I was pissed. I said “she just told you she was eating better, feeling better and walking some” he looked at me and said that wouldn’t make her lose 20# in just 6 months and he had the nurse give her orders for testing for various cancers!! And also tried to sell her some whey protein shakes and told her she needed more milk for her bones! 🤷♀️🤦♀️Most doctors are ridiculous
@@josieb1991 good luck to you as well!! I’ve been prepping to go the full 30 days by intermittent fasting and cutting down to soft foods like jello! Hopefully that helps... the first three days are the hardest and the rest is a breeze!
I did a 33 day fast and believe me it's more of a spiritual ordeal. Your senses become heightened as if you were taking an hallucigen. I have respect for those who say they've done 90 days because I can't imagine how deep that must feel.
@@johntitorii6676 I found the return back to food unexpected. Foolishly I tried soup which felt like it burnt my insides so I quickly stopped. You can feel the journey food takes throughout you so I'd recommend going juice, smoothie and fruit route upon returning.
Of course it feels that way. That's why people do it for spiritual experiences. Some will think it's God talking to them when it's just their own brains.
The radiance on Alan’s face is so inspiring. He looks like a man who has climbed up and over the hill, seen the flourishing valley awaiting our people and has run back down to share the good news.
I did a 30 day fast, drinking water only if I got bored or thirsty. Everyone was scared to death for me. If i ever did a long fast again it would be at True North. It was so lonely being in my room all that time because if i left my room everyone would beg me to stop. The biggest thing I learned is that I was eating a lot out of boredom.
Gonna fast every week 36 hours-7 days this autumn until Christmas. Gonna watch this once every fasting day to stay on the right path. Have an autoimmune disease to cure and at least 15 kg of fat to use up, and probably lots of stored chemicals in there. A true health mission. Gonna reach a stable strong, light body and then uphold it until my last days.
⛵may I ask which autoimmune problem is yours .. mine is psoriasis.. I wonder if and how long it would take to reverse/cure it with fasting .. have a blessed day⛵
Whatever you don't feed - dies. If we want to be free of our addictions we need to kill them off. So every time you're able to deny yourself you're winning :)
Fasting and praying are the only way I’ve been able to get rid of certain personality traits and bad habits. With god everything is possible. Thank you Yeshua.
@Lindsay Colon There actually is one study that shows an effect of praying for people in hospital. If those people are unaware they are being prayed for the effect is zero. If they are aware the effect is negative (this must be serious psychological effect)
Why would anyone require a crutch in order to live a healthy lifestyle. No god will help you get over your unhealthy lifestyle, basically bc god doesn’t exist.
I fasted for 30 days a couple times. How he describes what you go through mentally is spot on. After the first 4 days, you feel full of energy and absolutely don’t care about food. Also, imagine not having to poop! That’s like the main benefit. You get Kim jong un powers
What were the benefits you got from having to go trough this process? Also why you said not having to poop is the most beneficial out of all the benefits?
I been helping people with water only fast for a long time and every single person poops especially doing as long as you claim ( 30 days that is ) your body eats all the garbage in your system and you do poop it out so it’s very odd that you didn’t . Most likely you didn’t drink enough water ?
Best I've done is a 10 day water only fast, I'm excited next time to go for 14, then 20, then 30 one day. But at Day 10, I felt like a million bucks and didn't want to stop fasting but my parents were freaking out that I hadn't eaten so I basically stopped for them. But having them watch me the whole time definitely changed their perspective on fasting and they worry less and less when they see that my anxiety goes down, depression goes down, energy goes up, mental clarity and health goes up, etc.
@@jamesclark6487 Oh yes, they did. My parents were surprised by my energy levels and how I felt and looked. In fact, when I finished the fast, they were telling all their friends about it.
Fasting helps cure your ailments. I did bursts of 1-5 days of water fasting. It helped me get over a deadly illness. I was advised by my doctor not to fast. A year after my recovery she told me I was right not to listen to her. She had read articles from her colleagues about the benefits of fasting.
I completed a 72 hour fast today, I broke it about 2 hours ago and started fasting again as typing this. I desire to go for 30 days and if I feel well I want to go for 40. I am currently 207 and my desire weight is 160-170. Prayerfully I can be successful in accomplishing this. I will update here. Today is 8.3.22. Wish me luck!!!
Currently on day 17. Water fast only. Praying and getting alone with God. The best thing I ever done in my life! Was 270, down to 240 so far. Video logging almost every day. Will upload on my channel when all is set and done. I pray others will be encouraged. It works.
@@AR-82 it is recommended to drink water with a pinch of pink salt per litre and take supplements that does not contain sugar, protein and calories. Also, check out for the ingredients that are sugar substitutes cause that'll break your fast.
Living a fasting lifestyle will change your life!! Mentally, emotionally And spiritually! Trust the process. Learn the discipline of fasting. After a couple days you will begin to feel better. If you’ve never fasted and you’re interested in trying it just do it it’s going to be hard for the first couple days but once you get beyond day two or day three or day for you will start feeling better you will lose your hunger just trust the process try it it will change your whole life your body will begin to repair itself and your depression will be lifted. Let go and let god. Change your relationship with food.
I’m SO VERY, VERY IMPRESSED with this doctor’s explanation of the body’s Dopamine reaction to foods! Best I’ve ever heard and I hope it’s ok for me to tell my own clients!
I fast often maybe 3-4 times a year usually 14 days fast, I’ve been doing for years since I was 25 I’m 37 now and it only gets easier. The first 4 days are hell but it gets easier after that. I actually hate ending my fast . I feel like I loose my clarity.
I agree, I have done a 7-day fast every six months for the past few years....it's one of the highlights of my year, and on the last day I feel a little sad it's over. Good for you, I'll try 14 days soon!
@@j3ffn4v4rr0 I’ve done 1-30 days, 30 seems excessive a week seems short sited 3 weeks seems closer to 30 days 2 weeks just feels perfect for me. I hope you continue it, I started fasting in prison as a way to help me deal with terrible food and conditions and it morphed into me becoming a ninja. Jajajaja Jajajaja saludos from Monterrey MX
Thank you for sharing your experience. I did 3 days fast 3 times already and each time I had constipation problem. How did you deal with constipation during that period ? If here is no food intake, where did the excrement come from ?
@@paulvic55 it comes from all the years it’s has been building up. Honestly I’m surprised at what I pass 7-8 days into a water fast. I kid you not sometimes the stool looks petrified literally petrified
@@paulvic55 it's possible you are not drinking enough water during your fast. Most people do not drink enough anyway, but during a fast, the effects of dehydration will be much stronger. As Paso Fino says, impacted stool can be inside you, particularly if you have a poor diet (aka normal popular diet)....but prob not so much if you are a regular faster.
I fasted for 21 days back in September. Went to Chipotle to pick up some food for my husband and the cashier said “Wow, you have really good skin.” That was a HUGE confirmation to the after glow people talk about after a prolonged fast.
@@benekbailey7135 Yes! It would be great to fast with someone as experienced as you! Cn we keep in touch via email? Or any other way is good too. I will message you on the last day on January. Thanks Benek Bailey, I look forward to it!
Day 3 of my fast, I'm fasting for spiritual purposes, however health recovery is apart of my fast. Today has been the worst to come as far as symptoms. But I am determined to keep the faith, and prove to myself that I have the ability to do all things.
Im glad i just watched this and makes complete sense. I recently broke my jaw and was sort of thrown into this fasting diet bc my mouth is now wired shut. Ive lost 33lbs in 30 days. Im 6ft tall and averaged bewteen 185-200lbs my whole adult life. After week 1 i was already starting to see the results. By week 2 my stomach fat was gone. Week 3 i was down 22lbs. Im currently 167 lbs now and am in my 5th week. I drink 1 protein shake a day and drink water throughout the day. I dont recommend this diet if not forced too but i must note this--ive worked in construction my whole life which has caused some serious wear on my body, but miraculously my back and knee pain are gone completely. Other then my jaw still healing I honestly feel amazing. Who new a little fasting works wonders. Alot of disinformation out there...thank you for this very informative pod cast
"The process of digestion is basically shoving something in one hole and waiting for it to come out the other" 🤣 Dr. Goldhamer is absolutely hilarious. His combination of dry wit, passion, experience, and knowledge made this an incredibly entertaining podcast!
I work with a lot of cables. Pointy bits jagged metal. And my fingers and hands get cut up every day. I found my hands healing really quickly during my fasting period. Pretty cool
@@lachatnoir1127 I was at a place that served the no SOS diet (no salt, oil or sugar) so my cravings were easier to deal with, since their food just grossed me out after a couple of days. ;) I ended up doing 16 days total of water only.
Ive lost 112lbs so far in 7 months doing 5 day fasting. 5 days of nothing but water eat for 2 days, water fast for 5 days eat for 2. I dont care what anyone tells me i am not giving up meat. When i eat i usually eat grass fed beef, or salads and fruits. I started at 462lbs, and i am currently 350lbs. Shooting to be between 260-280lbs
As far as the diet goes avoiding bad foods like sugar and seed oils is the key to health. However you will ultimately be deficient and frail on a long term vegan diet though it is fine for short term.
@@LTPottenger Yeah I mainly stick to Whole Foods. Ali junk food wake here and there but I really don't even like the taste of it anymore. I'm a big wrap person so I eat a lot of wraps with grilled chicken and all my veggies. I use high fiber and protein wraps to limit processed carbs
Great, well done! thats my diet plan 12:12 for the rest of my life to maintain WL, once I've reached my goal of 40-45kg, currently at 68kg. Im doing a 49 day water fast. 23-28kg to go🥳
I'm 150 kg down to 119kg so far I've been doing 1 meal a day and 3 day water fasts every few weeks . Just completed a 3 day dry fast yesterday. Loving life again
Impressive! The body needs water but the mind does more, things can go awry quickly. Personally not a dry fast fan.. maybe 24 hrs max if that way inclined.
@@petitfish6136 That's really impressive. I am two days in on my water fast, which I am combining with some cardio exercise. (Running) May I ask if you conducted any physical exercise during your fast?
I'm currently on day 11 of this fast. I'm also still working full-time 50 hours a week. I also have an outside job so I am constantly in 100° heat and drinking about 5 liters of water a day
My mom always told me, “Put shit in. Get shit out.” This was extremely informative. I’m switching back to a plant-based diet like I did 10 years ago. I was 50lbs. thinner, skin and hair looked better, and my overall attitude and mental state were so much better. I’m miserable now. I need to make this very necessary change sooner than later! 🙏🏽♥️👌🏽
I don’t know why I stopped how I used to eat. I think I got caught up in sugar and processed food. Similar to you I’m getting back to where I used to to be.
I've done many fasts and a 40 day fast once. After about 3 or 4 days, hunger goes away and you, actually, start to have a lot of energy. At some point, you aren't hungry anymore, but realize how much time you spend buying, preparing, thinking about and eating food. It is almost more about those things than being hungry. Anyway, I highly recommend fasting...and praying!
Amen!!!!
What happens to our bone and hair health during prolong fasting?
All praises to the most high good job brother Derek!!
@Conqueror's haki That never happened to me and I don't want to give you bad advice. I am not an expert, nor a doctor. If it were me, then i would strongly consider ending the fast. 17 days is a long time. Take care!
@@bittercoffee113 There will be a good chance you will have hair shedding that you will notice a month or so after the fast. The longer the fast the more likely this will happen. Hair is at the very bottom of the priority list for the body, so when protein and nutrients are low it can cause hair follicles to shut down and go to sleep.
This isn't hair loss as when you return to eating those hair follicles will come back into the growing stage.
Chronic and long term nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances cause hair loss.
Bones will be broken down as well through autophagy, but this again will be quickly regenerated when you start eating and healing again. Fasting is amazing but doing it too much and not allowing the body to heal and recover can cause issues as your eating away at the body but not allowing it time to recover. Fasting is two parts, the actual fasting and then the eating and recovery aswell.
Being overweight & unhealthy is HARD. Being disciplined, fit & healthy is HARD. CHOOSE YOUR HARD.
Well put, Susan! I find your comment very encouraging and wise. Thank you.

@@susanturnbull9773 Yes, I know fully what you mean, Susan. A single insight or phrase can move a mountain!
I have cancer and severe breathing problems, and am morbidly obese. Recently I have started on a ketotonic diet and a dairy-free regime, to prepare for my surgery to have a kidney removed. It is hard to say 'no' to sugar and carbs, but, as you so rightly argue, it is harder to look in the mirror with self-loathing and feelings of guilt and regret for neglecting one's health over the years (I am 71).
As for me, I believe firmly that seventy is, or can be, the new forty, so I don't feel old 'inside' at all, (and I'm still a whizz at mental arithmetic!) It's never too late. Also, I hope and believe that should I not get through the surgery I will go to be with my beautiful Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. So either way, I am a winner!
God bless you.

This is my first 24hrs of fasting. I'm aiming for 30days to get rid of the high blood pressure, cholesterol and borderline diabetes. Not excluding the excess weigh. Please pray for me. I need a change in my eating behaviors
You can get rid of all that under 30 days. You'll see a difference in a week.
The trick is; once you've fasted and continuously followed a eating schedule, you must maintain the lifestyle. Otherwise, the weight will come back, the pains will come back and the medication will come back.
Same reason here why am on fasting. Its my 8thday today. Good luck to us
Prayers heading your weight
You got this 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 you’re not alone
I hope you fast is going well!
I am on day 36 of my 40 day water fast. 44lbs lost so far.
I remember watching this video before starting.
I take a multivitamin, B complex, vitamin C, magnesium supplement, sea salt, and usually 2-3 liters of water every day.
I’ll likely hit 50lbs lost by the conclusion of this, which is 4 days away as of writing this.
I did this for more than weight loss. I woke one Sunday morning feeling depressed and sick of the direction my life was going.
It was the morning after a night of bad eating and drinking.
I was tired of being tired of being tired. I couldn’t stand looking at the person in the mirror, and I was tired of the toxic relationships I had with people who used you when they needed something, but were nowhere to be found when they were doing good.
A fast as a hard reset on my life was the best thing I could have ever done to find clarity in my life.
❤🩹
We're you working during ?
@@andrewdiolosa3861 Oh yea. 70 hours per week. Plus flying up to 3-5 times per week as well.
Tomorrow is day 40 for me, thankfully. Close to 50lbs lost.

Once you start fasting, you will learn that the meal is no longer the gift, the Fast is the Gift. -Dr. Mindy Pelz
Fasting is such a great body and mind reset tool. Love it. Will do it till I die. I feel great when fasting. Mind is widening and improving on a daily basis. The constant food injection is making the opposite. Making the body busy with processing that food, but the body and mind are dependent on the carbs every 3 to 4 hours. And then hunger. No more hunger while on fasting and keto.
@EGM GAMING Did your knee pains go away?
at 144 hours right now. I feel fantastic. 5 mile bike ride each of last 3 days, no issues. I have PAD and when fasting the pain of exerting doesn't occur
Fasting is gifted..any ppl don't know
How amazing is fasting..I work hard
And my mind is more focus..I feel good....
Wow learning so much glad I watched this video
Nobody will understand the benefits of fasting until they fast... and then, boom, a new understanding of life and spirituality will unfold upon them and in front of them. God bless people like you 2.
I've fasted for 25 days in a row many years ago. It was the best time of my life.
Hey! I plan to do this when my fridge becomes empty of last weeks grocery shop! My plan is to meditate and practise Qigong/yoga - and beyond! A big believer in Christ and know that He will be fasting with me during the time.
I’m currently on day 3/40 of my water fasting. I was diagnosed with leukemia 2 years ago, got cancer free for a year but now my blood tests are showing leukemia cells again. I’m praying that I will cure or at least help the cancer not to spread more. Please pray for me 😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😔
Edit: I ended my water fasting on a day 26/40. I didn’t mind at all the fast heartbeat which I think i had it because of dehydration, but I started being concerned when I had body chills. Literally on the day 25 I was feeling so cold. The benefits are beyond imagination though. I lost 25 pounds, I was taking 2 bp medications and now I take None. My skin looks so smooth like I am 10 years younger and my vision is so much better. Now I am eating one meal a day OMAD because I am scared that leukemia will come back. I am determined to do a 3 days water fasting once or twice a month until I am completely cancer free!
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the prayers the support and love. I wish health, happiness and blessings to all of you guys! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️ God bless you all.
Hello again today is September 15th, 2024. First of I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the wishes and advices. Second of all two days ago I had my last appointment with my Hematologist and my test came back negative, no cancer cells found 😭. I have done a 25 days water fasting a 21 days, and a 42 days since January of 2024. I have reverse my type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and from 228 pounds I’m 167 lbs so far. Fasting is a God send medication that heals every disease and is totally free. Sending a big hug to every each of you who prayed for me ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Praying for you!this too shall pass🤍
@@ohmayoo0 thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🥹
Good for you, I believe you are doing the right thing to kill the cancer cells!
keep at it am on day 8/40. You will overcome.
Believe to succeed. Your dedication will pay off
It hilarious that god tells us some things can only be done through fasting and prayer and here we are listening to scientists saying fasting is the only thing that can help certain conditions. God has been so good to us.
It's right in the scripture.
Which god are you referring to?

Have you ever noticed when you go to bed hungry you wake up feeling fine, but go to bed after eating a giant meal and you wake up starving? 😊
I have a worse problem - I CAN not, will not, fall asleep hungry. Ever. Any remedy??
@@AMonikaD Carbs make you crave food. If you switch to Keto & do intermitent fasting, it is not so bad. Check all videos by Erik Berg for more info.
@@ellanola6284 but I AM doing the keto and fasting - two weeks now, and the tummy rumbling is soo loud, lol. Also, I can not fall asleep at night if hungry so I eat late, then fast all day while at work. People stare at me !!!
@@AMonikaD My advice is to cut out wheat stuff entirely. But if you must eat it, eat it before noon. Another thing you should have noticed is that if you swill down some good oil like avocado or olive, you wont be hungry. Try doing that at bedtime instead, It has HUGE health benefits.
FI, on the days, twice a week, when i take my tablespoon of cod liver oil at dawn, i can go til noon and never feel hungry.
Oils make you lose weight, not gain weight. One of the worse things in the western diet is wheat.
Yep
I did a 30 water fast Sept.2019, which kicked off my health journey. I've lost about ~90 lbs since then. I was vegan when I started but a very unhealthy processed vegan. I have maintained the weight loss with plant based vegan OMAD and working out daily. My health is awesome! I'm currently on day 10 of a water fast as it was time of the year for another reset and wanted to shed last few lbs off. Crazy when I'm fasting all I do is watch fasting vids and documentaries...lol
Good job queen
Starting my 30 day water fast tomorrow
I'm on day 11 and I'm no struggling but I'm having some stomach cramps when I sneeze .
@@dragroove16 how’d you do??
@Queen Ma’at NegonYah -I’m on day 5, and I’m doing the same thing lol. Binging on fasting vids. Curious specifically how you re-introduced foods. Also, sorry to ask, but did you have a large bowel movement around day 14? Finally, did u use salt or electrolytes? 3 questions hahaa thanks so much!!
"Exercise and fasting are both reducing the consequences of dietary excess" Dude that´s powerful knowledge right there.
I agree
Agreed. That's fantastic.
It’s the bitter truth pull that lots of people can’t swallow.
Fuckin A. I fasted for keto, felt so clear and energetic it was unreal -right before qualifying for the Boston Marathon. Shaved 20 minutes off my time. Mentally felt better than any other time in my life.

Yes when I did a 7 day fast all the sudden everyone was so concerned and telling me it’s dangerous and I needed to eat and I didn’t need to lose weight. I wasn’t doing it to lose weight I was trying to benefit from cell repair as I was in absolute agony with back pain. People really made the situation worse so I wouldn’t tell anyone if I did it again and just avoid people altogether.
Facts! Most people who say this say it from a place of illiteracy and I usually tell them, listen you yourself have got this and this and this health problem, I think you should water fast with me you will benefit more than me. That normally shuts them up lol.
I agree. People get really, really weird about food, and depriving yourself. It's really a fascinating thing to see. Maybe because we're so hard-wired into eating for survival, people just do a knee-jerk reaction?
always move in silence, people will have opinions on everything but thats for them, real1 move in silence others just talking
@@KakaCat99 always, trynna stop a player
a work friend once told me that best way to stick to a diet is to not tell anyone you are on a diet. If they asked, she would lie and say she was just craving cucumber. It is much the same. Many will feel threatened by your choices.. like it is some kind of judgement on them.I have water fasted a few times and never told anyone.
I’m on day 27 of my 40 day water fast. I have kidney failure and it’s not recommended for kidney failure patients to fast. 60 days ago I decided to eat a raw vegan diet and 27 days ago decided to start a water fast. Haven’t been to dialysis once. Sometimes trusting yourself and knowing your body is best. I meditated on the idea that my kidneys work perfectly every day. Thankful for an opportunity to heal myself. I encourage any kidney failure patient to try along with consulting a doctor. What I did wasn’t necessarily safe to be honest. Was just so sick of dialysis.
All power to you Carla, that is wonderful to hear.
Thank you so much!!
So happy for u Carla👏🏾 Wishing you the Best of continuous Good health to u!
wow respect, do you just water fast? Or do you use some minerals ? Like sodium (or salt) etc? How is your breath? Did you feel alcohol like breath? Or feeleing in your mouth? It is something like acidic ? When I did 21 days fast I had this symptomes. I felt extremely tired all the time, I think is it maybe because I did not take salt?? Whats your energy level? How about your energy in muscles, are they "heavy" or "tired" ? Thanks for possible answer and hope it will help you, last question what will be you first meal?
@Brett M yea you are right, I can confirm from my own experience, In 21 days I drink just water, but It was hard.... tired all the time, heavy muscles, problem with sleep etc etc... When I did 6 days fast but with salt I had same level of energy maybe even more, sleep was better (not perfect but when I compare It was better) not heavy muscles and pretty ok energy I could even do litle exercise like yoga... so yes definitely there should be some information about electrolytes in 10+ days fasting, you are basically dehydrated because of osmosis... your body sucks at retaining sodium when you dont have insulin spikes, When I am on keto diet I can take 2-3 times more salt than before and I am completely fine, I dont know about potassium and from where could I get in on fast like sodium (which is from salt) Yea I know that there is potassium chloride just like sodium chloride but when you think about our ancestors could they supplement potasium chloride ?? I think not so our body must have some evolutionary mechanism how to retain potassium better when we fast and another fact is that potassium Is most abundant mineral in our cells sodium is outside of cells so we do not need so much because we do not lose it so much like sodium (sweat, urine etc)
Who else is enjoying not only these gentlemen, but also the comments ? 😁
Classic information!!! The bibles talks about fasting and that s no coincidence- God knows best!!! After all, he designed us ! If you put diesel in a petrel engine...

When I decided to do a 40 day water fast, I had recently been diagnosed with mild arthritis on my left shoulder. Even though it was 'mild' the pain was unbearable. On top of that, I was 25 kg overweight so I had plenty of fat stores. I was 47 year old then and after the 40 days of water fasting I felt like a 20 year old and my skin looked amazing! AND the arthritis went away and hasn't come back. I drank only tap water with a pinch of Himalayan salt, I also drank sugar free electrolyte drinks, a vitamin supplement, iron (I had low iron) taken with water and lemon (to increase its absorption) and every night I used pure magnesium oil on my legs.I was working while on the fast so the last two weeks of fasting were a little taxing as I was feeling lethargic but my mental clarity remained despite the tiredness. I also noticed some muscle mass loss but I at least I felt that I had a 'blank' canvas to work with after the fast meaning I would be able to goto the gym and build muscle on a body that had much less fat stores than when I started the fast. I'm not telling you to fast for 40 days because I am not a medical practitioner but I can say that it worked for me. Also, if you are a spiritual person, it benefits you tremendously. After the fast, it is important that you break the fast the proper way and then do a lifestyle change to maintain the benefits you obtained on the fast. Having a healthy diet, exercising and building muscle mass is paramount to having a functional and quality of life particularly if you want to age well and be able to do the things you enjoy. If you go back to your old habits, unfortunately you will again suffer the same ailments that you had before, so it needs to be a conscious decision to do a complete overhaul of your lifestyle.
I got 5mm of bursitis in my left shoulder so I get how much it sucks ..
Did the vitamin supplement upset your stomach at all? I want to do a longer fast and want to make sure I take enough supplements but I’m afraid I might feel queasy taking vitamins. :)
@@carolynmcnaught9669 the vitamins made me feels a bit unwell, mine were water solutable so I just used half of it and I was fine.
Alot more ppl are waking up to better health practices and spirituality and the "Elites" don't like it.

I did 40 days and I lost 42 pounds and it’s been almost 2 years and I kept it off. I personally love fasting and I live my life by it 😊
How did you break your fast?
Only water for 40 days ?
I am sorry I don't believe you
Zee I used bone broth then started to reduce foods in slowly.
Tony Phylactou you don’t have too because you didn’t live my life. I did salts in my water and I was very proud of myself. It takes a lot of willpower and hard work. I did it for 40 days because Jesus did. I been living this life style for awhile now and I personally love it. I had a really big cyst when I started and I am so proud to say my body dissolved it. Unbelievable healing powers with fasting, look into it and i would never ever go back to eating 3 meals a day ever again. God bless you on your Journey 😌
I fasted no food just water and plain tea with lemon for 46 days and just recently broke it. I lost almost 50 pounds and my body completely reset itself, regenerated and restored from the inside out. I’d suddenly started dealing with blood pressure issues and other health problems which the doctor prescribed me medication for that I absolutely refused to take so I prayed about it and God led me on what I thought was a 21 day fast of no food just water but it was actually a 46 day fast instead. My body completely changed as if it was repaired to new. I’m currently on zero medications and my blood pressure previously 180/99 is currently 117/80 with a normal pulse and no other issues in my body, completely healthy, PRAISE GOD! I also have a lot of energy and I definitely sleep better now and longer. Once I broke it I had to start off eating very light because my stomach could only handle a very small portion of food. Of course I thought eating vegetables were ok but, NOT. I thought I was going to die after I ate little of them so I started throwing up nonstop which was the worst feeling and my stomach was turning flips amongst other things which I won’t mention and I almost passed out. FYI, after a long period of fasting a little bone broth would probably be better once it’s broken. Since breaking my fast about 2 weeks now I’ve only been eating one meal a day drinking just water with lemon and eating no junk foods, fast foods nor sweets. I eat organic everything, lots of vegetables, I cook all of my meals now because I know what going in them. I buy only organic grass fed meat which I still don’t eat a lot of (meat that is) My whole lifestyle of eating has completely changed without the slightest cravings for any of the mess I was addicted to eating before. I don’t even miss it. Fasting is definitely one of the greatest benefits to having a healthier body. Denying your body the thing it craves most is actually giving your body what it need most and that’s no food for an extended period of time. Be blessed on your journey to becoming a better and healthier you through fasting.
Thank you for sharing! I keep failing but I’m determined to keep fasting, praying, and getting in the Word
That’s really great! Nice job!
Thank you!
After about 20 days it really does zap your BP! Crazy!

I'm at 43 days right now and I feel great. I have tons of energy. I sleep great and my skin looks smoother. I started developing high blood pressure as I got older and now my pressure is normal. Went and had a complete work up on everything. Doctor said there was nothing wrong with me and said I was in perfect shape.
Do you take electrolytes?
@@savagestation7153 Yes I sure do. Every time I drink water.
Please give me advice on how to do this. What do I drink, how much, what supplements, refeeding, how not to die, if I can't keep water down cause I wanna vomit how do I overcome... So many questions
@@axg93 Drink three litres a day. One cup at a time. It can be straight water or so many litres of tea. I like green tea/ herbal tea. One cup has Himalayan pink salt and potassium chloride added. Try a 24 hour one. Eat your evening meal at 5:30 pm. In the morning just start drinking and at say 6:00 pm that evening have a nice meal. In a few weeks try a 36 h. I am on my 5th fast in 9 months. Last time three months ago I did 93 hours. I'm 70 in now and will be going to 120 hours this time. I went swimming today will walk tomorrow for a couple of hours. Take your time and enjoy the experience. You won't die lol 😉
Did you do the workout as well during water fast and how much did you loose
Currently on day 22 of 30. Lost 50 lbs. It's tough, but I'll see it through.
Hows it going? How much fat did you have before u started?
Would you be kind enough to tell us what you consumed ?
Was it only water or water plus lemon or anything else ?
Hi guys, quick update. I did it! I completed the fast on April 3rd at 3pm and I couldn't be more proud of myself for the achievement. During the fast I consumed absolutely nothing but bottled water. No supplements, no tea, no coffee. Nothing. I can't say if I'd recommend people do that as the prolonged experience of zero electrolytes is unpleasant as best. I intend to do another 30 day fast likely in May, this time with the addition of magnesium and potassium supps to experience the difference. Ultimately I lost exactly 53.7lbs, down from almost exactly 400 lbs and I feel fantastic. I've been on a little break so I can enjoy some of my favorite foods (in moderation of course) so starting Monday I'll go back to 1 meal a week for the rest of April untill I do another 30 in May.

@@Star-Bright Hi Star - ONLY WATER! Three liters a day. Toward the end of my fast I took some rehydrate rehydration fluids (only use those from a pharmacy). One must also be mindful that levels of uric acid may increase. A good mineral alkaline powder that contains calcium, magnesium, Phosphoros, and potassium is suggested to provide some alkalinity while providing some lost minerals and to prevent Gout attacks. Hope this helps ;) (take a rehydration supplement if you feel dizzy, or very dry skin, dry mouth etc. Monitor hydration at all times!)

I'm on day 1 of my 21-day fast. I recently had these small bumps coming over my body after my period for the past 4 months. At first, I thought it was a heat bump, but I started to discover the pattern. The heat bump comes after five days of my period. It won't go away for about two weeks, and it is very painful. I started to google and found it to be an autoimmune condition called HS. Luckily, my one is not so severe, but it leaves behind scars. So far, I have had it around my armpits and my buttocks. I was completely shattered when I read that it was uncurable. The same day, I found a video about fasting, and some of them posted that they had recovered from autoimmune disease by fasting. Please pray for my recovery, guys ❤.

Suggestion for your next fast and to others - the first few days can be the hardest so if you are three days in and feeling good I would suggest you keep going as it gets easier and the benefits of better health, no hunger, lots of energy, mental/brain improvements and not needing too much sleep and waking early and refreshed start to reveal themselves. Plus you have a lot of extra time! And keep a detailed diary of your experiences/feelings - that's very helpful. I'm on day four of my third fast as I type. I highly recommended fasting.

To anyone struggling with depression / anxiety: PLEASE do yourself a favor and push thru the first 3 days and you will be amazed. I have bipolar and the mindset at the end of the fast was similar to the positive and energetic feeling I usually have on my manic episodes except NO irrability, NO grandiosity, NO impulsiveness, NO unrealistic thinking etc... my mind felt so patient, clear, focused, and in the moment, normal, happy. Got shit done, made plans, was relaxed and social with people, enjoyed the little things. Even had a chill good time with my parents!

Did a 7 day fast a few weeks ago. I was on 3 blood pressure medications and Metformin for diabetes. Even on 3 BP medications I was living with 145/95+ on a daily basis. After 4 days I was 115/70. I’ve maintained a normal BP for over 2 weeks. In addition to this, my blood glucose levels are normal (80-100). Typically my glucose levels were 125-145. After my 7 day fast I’ve maintained one meal per day. I’m down 28 pounds, from 255 pounds to 227. Fasting works!!

Dr. Robert Lustig is all over this! Amazing that Clapton had pinpointed it. I needed to hear it then experiment to know it. My first week off sugar and starch was the hardest thing I've ever done and cried many times. Then a rainbow came out, and everything was wonderful. Every time I think, "I'm strong enough now to enjoy the party and have cake," I have a tough week staying on track.
LOL. What pulp fiction.

Why do you think pop, fruit juice, and candy sell well?
- His second addiction was alcohol.
- third was sex.
- fourth was cocaine.
- fifth was heroin.
Most people don't get addicted to any of 2 to 5. So that blows that theory out of the fasting water.

22 hr fast with a low carb diet is quite easy to do. With so much benefit, there's no reason to stop. I'd advise light exercise to preserve muscle mass. Otherwise, the muscles may be tapped for energy... if not used.

This is a great way to fast!
I have only ever made it 5 days of water fasting although I strive for more. The personal benefits: 1) I enjoy raw vegetables again, because it retrains your taste buds 2) I have more portion control power and increased ability to avoid processed addictive foods
3) weight loss
4) clear skin
5) cured of excema over time of doing this
6) clarity of thought
7) more productive
8) increased sex drive

5 days is pretty solid. 4 is my max. But I usually do a couple days a month -- almost 4 months total water fasting over 5 yrs. Goal is to clear out cellular/subcellular junk before autophagy drops off after 65 yrs old.
I am on day five of my water fast. My goal is 30 days but my ultimate goal is 40 days. I’ve done dozens on 24hr, 48hr, 72hr, and couple of 10 day fast. The longest fast I’ve done was 20 days in 2016. Pray for me y’all! This covid got me needing a miracle, a personal reset, I feel guided towards this! I’ll update comments if requested
Good luck!!
How are you?
Did you finish your fast? How Many days did you manage to do it?:)
I only got to 15. It’s not forty but I am still proud of myself and it was a good reset on bad food habits
15 days is no joke. That’s tremendous. Congrats
I recently completed a 7 day fast drinking only water. I just can’t believe how I feel now. It’s amazing. I found it very easy to start as I was already on a time restricted eating regime eating only one or 2 meals a day within a 5 hour window. I didn’t feel hungry at all within the 7 days. I felt I could have continued for more than 7 days. Day 5 and 6 of the fast I felt I needed more sleep. My on going back lower back pain from spinal surgery a year ago was causing me real trouble. However on day 8 I woke up with no back pain and fabulous skin texture. No bags under my eyes. Not sure what has happened inside but I feel absolutely wonderful. I am 69 years old this August and feel more like I am back in my twenties again. Gail
That is wonderful!
What was your diet like after the 7 days? Did you still feel as good as while you were on your fast?
@@ashmora8296 felt good and continue to feel good. I think it reset my whole
body. I have an eating habit of only one meal per day but think
I should go to two meals because I believe I am getting too thin.
Gail
Congratulations 🥰👏👏👏
@@gabriellazordan thank you
This doctor is so passionate about his protocol he makes you want to start the fast NOW!
My father waterfasted twice in his life, first when he was like 18 for 25 days and then when he was 55 for 19 days, healthiest man ever, he never gets sick, rarely has a cold, a headache or anything like that and it's always in a good mood. The weigh loss is great but fasting does so much more for you.
did he die?
@@sofahitam_id2412 All people die, of course. But the way a lot of people go down is tough, painful, freedom limiting. And the reason for a lot of that is their body has a lifetime of junk in it and the internal garbage man ( autophagy ) works less and less, allowing things to pile up. Fasting clears out the toxins, bad cells, defunct pieces on a subcellular level ahead of time so that when the garbage man stops working, your issues won't pile up nearly as fast.
I am 55 and have a 1 yr old grandson. I hope that in 15 years I can still be physically active to be a part of his life. That is my goal.
Everyone die one day @@sofahitam_id2412
Guys -- if you do a long fast remember to eat very little the day after you end it. Eat almost nothing And scale it up slowly or you will end up in hospital. This is very important.
Thank you. No one's talking about this very important point. I heard if a pastor's wife who died after a 40 day fast from eating a big meal immediately after the fast ended...
I fasted 21 days and coming off the fast could barely eat before being very full. Also, goes very, very fast through the system for at least a week.
It is hard to see how anyone could end up eating too much after a long fast.
This isn't true. If our ancestors went hungry for weeks and then suddenly managed to get food are you telling me that they thought 'oh I had better eat this food slowly over many days otherwise I might die'. No, they would eat as much as they could until they were stuffed and before it rotted or something else ate it first. I never believed it was dangerous to eat normally after a fast so I tried it myself after a 2 week water fast. I ate as much of whatever I was craving until I was stuffed and it the most delicious thing ever. The worst thing that happened was that I urgently needed a massive crap an hour later. Interestingly I couldn't eat anywhere near as much as I had intended to either because my stomach had shrunk.
@@SIBUK Ahh.. an armchair expert. Our ancestors did not "go hungry for weeks". But if you don't believe me, try it out yourself. Write from hospital telling us I was correct. Hope you live to tell us.
VERY MUCH SO!!!!!!!!
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!
WAS FORCED TO EAT 3X A DAY, and it ALMOST KILLED ME!
I BLEW UP, GOT ALL INFLSMED, AND FELT I WAS GOING TO BURST!
It was the WORST CONSTIPATION EVER!
A very stupid spiritual father al.ost killed me with that, and I badically just ate soup to obey him!
But it was just WAY TOO MUCH AFTER A 6 WEEK FAST (WEEKDAYS)!
GOOD ADVICE.
OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE!

Jesus, Moses, Daniel, Paul all fasted to get spiritual clarity and deny the flesh. Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
And Buddha.
Amen!!!
Prophet Muhammed also
@Tafari I
And the non religious people you refer to fasted because fasting tradition has been passed on by religions, as has much that has benefited modern mankind. It's sad that many people today have little insight into the heritage of civilization and the central role religion played in that.
As for the flesh being the same, you don't know what you are talking about. Moses and Jesus fasted completely from water and food for 40 days and nights. If you think that is achievable by others, go and try. But write a will first.
@Tafari I
Where's your evidence non religious people existed throughout history? You won't find any, because non religious communities did not thrive, nor learn languages and writing and making of books.
Why do you think Homosapien Neanderthals buried their dead 75,000 years ago?
Why do you think Australian Aboriginals cremated their dead 40,000 years ago?
Why do you think later Neanderthals were buried with utilitarian relics?
Why do you think the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge were built?
Without exception, every significant enduring community of humans had religious beliefs and customs.
American Indians, Indian Indians, Indonesians, Tribes in the Amazon, early Koreans.....wherever you go, enduring communities have believed in supernatural God or Gods, and have passed on their cultural wisdom through religious ceremony and custom....which includes fasting.
It is testament to the subversive influence of atheistic forces today, that people such as yourself are so patently ignorant about history.
You must be very young, and very naive.
Show me your evidence anyone on the internet, who says they fasted from all food and fluid for 40 days, is telling the truth. Go tell your doctor you intend to do this, and I bet he gets you certified mentally ill.
The part starting at 33:00 is definitely resonating to me. I was fat and tired, which made little sense because we always think of food as energy. How can someone be full of energy and yet still be tired? I was eating out all the time - not always fast food, but definitely wasn't healthy food. One day, I was tired of being fat because I couldn't fit into my normal clothes anymore (during covid). I started eating healthy, but realized how much I didn't like vegetables because my parents never made me eat it. After the first few days, I stopped eating as often because I started to only eat when I was hungry. With natural foods, I found myself pushing each meal back as my body no longer worked around being hungry during meal times. Now I'm eating once a day, without having to count calories without heavy hunger signals. My blood pressure has since then hit normal, which I've had BP issues ever since 15 years ago. I sleep better, I no longer get hangry, and so far I'm 30 lbs down (I started at 235) in 6 weeks and feel healthier than ever. Once your body shifts over to enjoying whole/normal foods again, it will be so so so much better. It's an investment.
What time is your 1 meal?
@@traider8002 around noon to 1. Sometimes it's later just because the hunger signals simply aren't there.
@@CharlieLiuPhotography 👍
I water fasted 93 and 96 hours back to back with a 4 hour eating window, after the 96 Hours I was not hungry at all or craving anything it’s amazing once you stop eating and reset your body, it literally stops craving food. I lost 19 pounds in 10 days while walking as well but it’s amazing to see.
Congrats. I'm doing the same as you. Rolling 96 hour fasts with a 4 hour refeed window. Much easier than a 40 day fast. In fact, I just don't see the point of a 40 day fast tbh. 96 hours is plenty
I did 40 days and I lost 42 pounds and it’s been almost 2 years and I kept it off. I personally love fasting and I live my life by it 😊
How did you break your fast? How many day for your post breaking the fast, as i know breaking the fast is very important in this fasting process.
40 Consecutive days?
@@lambdragon the longer the fast, the slower you want to introduce food back. Dr.Mindy Peltz here on RUclips is really get it in details.
Broth is what you start with, then some fermented food like sauerkraut. Try not to eat sugars as you will be really hungry.
Make a plan for meals to break the fast - it’s the hardest part of the fast. Hunger ends pretty quickly but after you break the fast - it feels like you’ve never ate....lol
@@irinab7524 thanks for replying me, mid of jan i am trying fast, the longest i can stand is 5day, too hungry and no energy, when i am start eating my first meal i am like gulfing anything on meal table, that experience giv i am not ready yet for the long fasting, now i fast evert 3 day, on day 4 i start mid afternoon wirh fresh cranberry juice mix with vege juice, after 2 hour i start with boiled sweet potato, , then dinner i eat whatever i want, not sure it correct or not
Its been a dream to reach 40 days. But I break at two weeks... Longest I went was 25. And I broke because I felt way to nauseous.
This video reinforces what I’ve found from fasting (+praying) and reintroducing healthy, plant based foods into your temple. I’ve struggled over the years with remaining consistent with this lifestyle but not only does your body thank you but your mind and spirit are lifted to a state that I can only explain as being God-like. This popping up on my feed is a blessing and a gentle reminder from the Most High that I must persist to resist the negative and submit to what I believe is the true meaning of life, and life abundantly!
I’m an Inuit woman who’s parents died from alcoholism. It was an easy choice to not drink. I know that being an orphan triggered my fear of starvation. It’s a daily decision to eat my ancestors diet: fish, fat and whole real food. My reward in life: holding my grandchildren and teaching them how to feel JOY 💗 Life is wonderful!
It's a cheat sistem humans have, we fill our body with dopamine so our lives seems better when in fact it isn't, the best thing we can do to get a better life is making it better on a daily basis, numbing ourselves with bad food and habits is not the way to create a better life... most people will never live withouy their addiction because being sober on life is actually difficult. But being drunk in a housefire is a thousand times worse.

Wow! Did you take any salt/electrolytes with your fast?
I admire your will power Raquel, I can barely make it 20 hours on a fast. I could probably learn a thing or two from you. I noticed you said you did a water fast, and that may be where I went wrong, because I wasn't drinking water. Does filling up with water suppress the hunger ?
I am hr 70!
Raquel did you succeed in your fasting goal
Love listening to his speed of delivery. I was raised mostly plant based by a nurse, and I'm 74. She was ahead of her time. Great stories in comments. I really enjoy fasting, and I have convinced a couple to do it. Intermittent fasting is really helping people to understand how important fasting is. Strange how long it took to change the viewpoint. Great content. Thanks Rich.
She teach you fasting?
Lucky to be raised plant based!
The spiritual benefits of fasting will lift you up like a hurricane! Once your mindset is right, nothing will stop your willpower to fast for as long and as often as you want. DO IT! 🌱🤍
Thank you.
I am on day 7 of a 40 day fast i pray god gives me strength to complete my goal 🙏

I’m in fasting right now and today is my 23rd day. Not gonna lie, breaking my fasting comes to my mind a dozen times now cause there a times that i crave so much about certain foods. Now watching this video puts me back and adds encouragement to reach that 40days goal. And by the way, i already lost 10kgs.
Did you go for 40?
You were sugar dependent when you started. Sugar comes from refined sugar products and carbs.
Better plan .. Break sugar dependence but doing smaller fasts and working up.
Superb 🏄
@@chriss8328 I did. I lost a total of 24kgs after my 40 days fast. And I just found out that breaking a longer fast is equally harder as fasting😅
@@Kitiwake Yes, that’s what my doctor told me, and warned me that in less than a year i will be diabetic if i will not change my eating habit. And surprisingly enough, when I told her that I’m planning to do 40 days fasting, she said that it’s better than any prescription she could give.
You can hear passion in his voice! I havent heard of a doctor who is so resourceful and knowledgeable and passionate about the art of fasting
I’m officially 4 days into my fast. I thought that this would be the toughest task of my life, but it has been the complete opposite. My craving for food went out of the window after the second day. I thought that I would experience weakness, but I’ve actually gained strength that I didn’t know I possessed. I’ve also lost 9 pounds! This experience has been nothing short of amazing!
@Clark Kent thank you. I had to stay busy. Sleeping was also the next best thing. You’ve got this! I’d also be interested in an update about your experience
@Clark Kent I totally understand what you’re saying because I stopped cold turkey as well. I’ve only hit a j twice in 5 years. I also never smoked anything other than that. There are people who are still in awe that I quit the way that I did. They always ask how and why. I didn’t even crave it for about 3 years. It was so strange to me because I also went through 3-4 grams per day. The past two years is when the cravings came back, and that’s when the two hits came into play. It was all a mental thing for me. I trained myself to think different which led to me being different. I also believe in you because I can tell that you really want change from what you’re saying. Practice consistency, and things will change. You can also reach out to me on IG if you have one.
The first two days are usually horrible. After that, you generally lose the desire for food. If you can get through the first couple of days, you start to feel energetic even after many days. You'll probably have periods of tiredness or lightheadedness but those usually clear up if you lie down a while.
I’ve tried to influence my elderly, obese mother the past few years to eat more wfpb, she’s definitely not there, but has eaten much better and her last dr visit (luckily I went with her) she had lost like 20# over about 6 months and she even told him she had been eating better and feeling better and walking some...he tells her that she has lost too weight and he was worried she may have cancer!! I was pissed. I said “she just told you she was eating better, feeling better and walking some” he looked at me and said that wouldn’t make her lose 20# in just 6 months and he had the nurse give her orders for testing for various cancers!! And also tried to sell her some whey protein shakes and told her she needed more milk for her bones! 🤷♀️🤦♀️Most doctors are ridiculous
That’s why we’re all fat and sick!!!!!
Booby Mamma exactly...including most of the nutritionally uninformed doctors treating sick patients.
Friends Not Food yes, I gave blood today and had to eat a few potato chips to satisfy an obese nurse who said I needed the sodium...ugh

do people not do it for the duration of fasting?

It completely restored my health and saved my life
Dr. Goldhamer is amazing - though I haven't gotten past 10 days, I keep coming back to these videos on my fasts and they help so much!
I did a 30 day fast, drinking water only if I got bored or thirsty. Everyone was scared to death for me. If i ever did a long fast again it would be at True North. It was so lonely being in my room all that time because if i left my room everyone would beg me to stop.
The biggest thing I learned is that I was eating a lot out of boredom.
What did you do when u were bored
Masterbation most probably
Gonna fast every week 36 hours-7 days this autumn until Christmas. Gonna watch this once every fasting day to stay on the right path. Have an autoimmune disease to cure and at least 15 kg of fat to use up, and probably lots of stored chemicals in there. A true health mission. Gonna reach a stable strong, light body and then uphold it until my last days.
How is it going
You got this!!
Today (Dec 25) is when u end your mission. How was it? Update plz.
Would love to hear how you did!?

Fasting and praying are the only way I’ve been able to get rid of certain personality traits and bad habits. With god everything is possible. Thank you Yeshua.
Yes, I will have to pray , too.
Fasting is something physical, therefore it actually CAN have an impact. Praying is nothing, there is no way it can actually do anything.
@Lindsay Colon There actually is one study that shows an effect of praying for people in hospital. If those people are unaware they are being prayed for the effect is zero. If they are aware the effect is negative (this must be serious psychological effect)

That's wonderful. Im 65 and am planning a fast soon. Thanks for sharing. Rather encouraging.
What type of fasting did you Do?
Like once? Or continuously
I fasted for 30 days a couple times. How he describes what you go through mentally is spot on. After the first 4 days, you feel full of energy and absolutely don’t care about food. Also, imagine not having to poop! That’s like the main benefit. You get Kim jong un powers
What were the benefits you got from having to go trough this process? Also why you said not having to poop is the most beneficial out of all the benefits?
LoL
I did a 10 day fast a couple times and I pooped throughout the entire fast lol
I been helping people with water only fast for a long time and every single person poops especially doing as long as you claim ( 30 days that is ) your body eats all the garbage in your system and you do poop it out so it’s very odd that you didn’t . Most likely you didn’t drink enough water ?
@@ishamassoud7906 it's my 5th day and I haven't been pooping since the last 2. Tell me what's wrong with me?! lol
Best I've done is a 10 day water only fast, I'm excited next time to go for 14, then 20, then 30 one day. But at Day 10, I felt like a million bucks and didn't want to stop fasting but my parents were freaking out that I hadn't eaten so I basically stopped for them. But having them watch me the whole time definitely changed their perspective on fasting and they worry less and less when they see that my anxiety goes down, depression goes down, energy goes up, mental clarity and health goes up, etc.
I’m on day 11. Did 7 days a few years ago. How do you break your fasts?

@@paulvic55 it's possible you are not drinking enough water during your fast. Most people do not drink enough anyway, but during a fast, the effects of dehydration will be much stronger.

I drink 1 protein shake a day and drink water throughout the day. I dont recommend this diet if not forced too but i must note this--ive worked in construction my whole life which has caused some serious wear on my body, but miraculously my back and knee pain are gone completely. Other then my jaw still healing I honestly feel amazing. Who new a little fasting works wonders. Alot of disinformation out there...thank you for this very informative pod cast
I hope your jaw is healing well.
That's not fasting 😂
"The process of digestion is basically shoving something in one hole and waiting for it to come out the other" 🤣 Dr. Goldhamer is absolutely hilarious. His combination of dry wit, passion, experience, and knowledge made this an incredibly entertaining podcast!
agreed! they played off eachother well. this interview is my favorite dr goldhamer interview!
definatelyi agree! well said.
No shish

That’s pretty much accurate as it gets lol
I work with a lot of cables. Pointy bits jagged metal. And my fingers and hands get cut up every day. I found my hands healing really quickly during my fasting period. Pretty cool
We Vietnamese has a proverb: "Trouble from your mouth out, sickness from your mouth in".
Van Tam Ngo There is a Chinese proverb for that too！ “病从口入，祸从口出”
That is brilliant! So true, lol!
I always say when someone has a bad attitude; They must need a colonic!
Love these quotes! So true!! ;-)
Wise words!
What does that mean?
I admire this man so much! Thank you for your passionate work to help people regain their control over their body. You are irreplaceable 🙏
Day 8 of my water fast! Down 20 pounds and my inflammation and pain are gone.
are you still doing it??
I can’t wait
20 pounds in 8 days? Wow
Well done!! How do you get passed the 1st 3 days?? I couldn't hold out any longer!
@@lachatnoir1127 I was at a place that served the no SOS diet (no salt, oil or sugar) so my cravings were easier to deal with, since their food just grossed me out after a couple of days. ;) I ended up doing 16 days total of water only.
Ive lost 112lbs so far in 7 months doing 5 day fasting. 5 days of nothing but water eat for 2 days, water fast for 5 days eat for 2. I dont care what anyone tells me i am not giving up meat. When i eat i usually eat grass fed beef, or salads and fruits. I started at 462lbs, and i am currently 350lbs. Shooting to be between 260-280lbs
As far as the diet goes avoiding bad foods like sugar and seed oils is the key to health. However you will ultimately be deficient and frail on a long term vegan diet though it is fine for short term.
@@LTPottenger Yeah I mainly stick to Whole Foods. Ali junk food wake here and there but I really don't even like the taste of it anymore. I'm a big wrap person so I eat a lot of wraps with grilled chicken and all my veggies. I use high fiber and protein wraps to limit processed carbs
If that is what you like to eat dont deprive yourself of it.
Your story is inspirational. Much admiration 👍👍👍👍👍
Great, well done! thats my diet plan 12:12 for the rest of my life to maintain WL, once I've reached my goal of 40-45kg, currently at 68kg. Im doing a 49 day water fast. 23-28kg to go🥳
I'm 150 kg down to 119kg so far I've been doing 1 meal a day and 3 day water fasts every few weeks . Just completed a 3 day dry fast yesterday. Loving life again
Can you please tell me what a dry fadt is.
The word is fast, thanks.
how long have been fasting.
@@barnesrobena7 not eating nor drinking! Nothing goes into the mouth
Impressive! The body needs water but the mind does more, things can go awry quickly. Personally not a dry fast fan.. maybe 24 hrs max if that way inclined.
Can a 21 day water fast help with stage 4 prostate cancer?
Absolutely I hope you did well ❤
This pops up as I’m half way into a 7 day water fast. Synchronicity Carl Jung would call it. Thanks Rich & Alan.
How do you feel in the meantime?
me too!
Today is my 4th day fasting. Longest I’ve done is 28 days, I lost a wopping 40 LBs.
@@petitfish6136 That's really impressive. I am two days in on my water fast, which I am combining with some cardio exercise. (Running) May I ask if you conducted any physical exercise during your fast?
Good luck to you
I'm currently on day 11 of this fast. I'm also still working full-time 50 hours a week. I also have an outside job so I am constantly in 100° heat and drinking about 5 liters of water a day
Jezus. That's some determination! Amazing that you're able to pull that off whilst still performing at your job. Hats off 🎩
Based on your username we can assume you are lying
Why aren't we screaming for adjustments to be made to the government suggested "food pyramid"?
Because of the pharmaceutical mafia
@@ChristineJonah88 Bigger than That...ITS Far easier to CONTROL..People when they are Chemically dumbed down and Sick / Un healthy
Vegans have been helping with that a lot. Food pyramid has slowly been changing over the years
If everyone ate healthier, supermarkets would fail, and junk food companies would freak. The government would (and is) preventing this. No change....
Because Cheetos taste goooooood
Day 1 of my 4 day fast, I am super excited to do this. Thank you Rich Roll and Dr. Alan Goldhamer!
My mom always told me, “Put shit in. Get shit out.” This was extremely informative. I’m switching back to a plant-based diet like I did 10 years ago. I was 50lbs. thinner, skin and hair looked better, and my overall attitude and mental state were so much better. I’m miserable now. I need to make this very necessary change sooner than later! 🙏🏽♥️👌🏽
You were also 10 years younger..
I don’t know why I stopped how I used to eat. I think I got caught up in sugar and processed food. Similar to you I’m getting back to where I used to to be.
@@jaishu123 good point for realistic expectations ❤️
