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.
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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@williambunter3311 sometimes something comes along to help make the slightest shift in mindset which ends up being "life changing". That was it for me....I "CHOSE MY HARD" and it hasn't been "hard" since...
@@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.

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.
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.
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
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 😌
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.
What about refeed I keep seeing different RUclips doctors saying it can kill you and that’s the only thing holding me back and I keep telling myself Jesus fasted 40 days can I please get your opinion I live with lupus and I believe this is my answer
@@Myfoodaddiction2024 I’m not a doctor or a Dietician. Just look on RUclips the best ways to break your fast. Last time I soaked 10 prunes. The first night of breaking the fast I drunk the water, the next day I had 1 prune every 6 hours. I’m still alive to eat this. Although it is the most important part of fasting, because in my first fasting I had problem with a fatty liver.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Congratulations buddy! Did you complete your fast? How are you doing now? I have just made a new comment on this video where you can follow along :) take a look!
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.
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.
@@mohamedyagoub314 Well I take it back. I think it's the second hardest thing. When I woke up on day 11 my gout was flaring up. The only other time this happened is when I did a 10 day fast last year. I really wanted to go for a month, but because of this I probably won't ever do more than a week again. I wish you the best of luck with your fasting though!
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
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
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 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’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.
@@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!
@@InlineFlix How functional is your body for physical activities during the fasting. I understand therapeutic fasting. I also understand thriving and kicking ass in the standard productive sense.
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)
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!!
@ i did about 3 fast first was 1 day. second was 1 day and a half. 3rd fast was almost 8 days i felt weak almost as if i was going to pass out but definitely felt light and lost so much weight. I went from 224 to 202. In 8 days. Now im looking to day a dry fast as they say its more effective and much better in terms of how u feel.
@@thelowksta7126 wow! That’s really great. I barely feel any hunger because of some medications I take so it should be a little easier for me to do. Usually I can go 2-3 days with no food without a problem but I’ll try 7 days next.
@@waabke yea it was real difficult but i think that maybe a dry fast might be much easier because i guess they say in a dry fast u want water every single time u can get it. Sometimes u can over drink water. And supposedly also in a dry fast 1 day of dry fasting is equivalent to 2-3 days of dry fasting. And is much harder on repairing the body meaning it attacks everything 3x times more than a water fast
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.
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.
That's funny Paul. I'm 64 and I've told my wife that when I was young I would forget to eat because it would get in the way of my playing. My mother asked a doctor who said , Madam don't worry, he wont die. Luckily I've never been heavy, makes a difference to your organs and your joints.
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. :)
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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!
This is very encouraging. I quit alcohol 2 years ago and it changed my life. Now I have to do the same with food. I want to start out with a water fast. Im 65 and want the rest of my life to be meaningful and , let's face it, enjoyable.
Jesus Christ is returning soon. Repent (turn around from your ungodly ways) and believe the Gospel. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
The body needs a constant supply of protein to live and protect all the bodies organs and their function ect... id suggest actual legitimate diet change and learning about how protein work to find a better source of such foods. Fasting is a terrible money making myth. Blood work and actual data is truly a much better idea if ones really wishing to have concrete and factual based information for what’s going on in ones body concerning diet.
Fantastic for your sobriety Susan! Your goals with food and fasting are spot on. I hope you’re doing well with it. I’m 62. Abused alcohol and drugs starting at 13. I started fasting at 15. Read Paul Braggs book and I was sold. But I continued abusing. I now have cirrhosis. I’ve been substance free for 2 years. I was 12 hours from death in 2019. Eating clean and fasting makes a huge difference in everything. At my heaviest I was 264. Now I hover around 145. Joy and elation hang out with me every day. I’m really happy to hear your story. You are a warrior too!
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.
I love how his eyes light up when he talks about how his own doctors have accomplished opening their own fasting clinics. Signs of a true friend. Love fasting, live by it, experienced so many benefits and have accomplished suppressing many autoimmune diseases from it. Highly recommend anyone looking to complete one, seek advice from a fasting clinic or your local doctor always before proceeding
Me too I used fasting to get from 240 with a big gut to 170 with ABS, I put on 30lbs to do 21 day fast, Come to my channel and take a look feel free to ask me any questions you have about fasting, daily updates
Yes, because the truth he speaks is being buried by big medicine, big pharma, food industry, and big tech, ultimately the men at the top. This is the type of truth that could change the world if people were exposed to it by the places that claim to help you!
Probably because he doesn’t actually fast and isn’t dumb enough to try that shit. His eyes are lighting up with the money he makes from selling this mythical bullshit.
@@harrisonfiore7090 Yes. Years ago when I sort of fell into the rabbit hole of this type of pseudoscience. Sure some of it has legit research and data to back it up, but not everyone is the same- also people’s metabolism and such can change quite significantly depending on all sorts of factors. PubMed and Google scholar are good to look up the most up to date studies and such.
Day 6 - lost 17LBS. Was planning to last at least a day or two. Taking a day at a time but hoping to last at least two weeks. Started at 375- now slowly coming down. Not feeling hungry- i guess i have plenty of storage to take from ;-) Stay strong whoever is fasting now!!
@@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’m 61 and started water fasting when I was in my mid 20’s. I somehow got away from water fasting and now today I’m very challenged with chronic pain , anxiety , insomnia, gut problems-SIBO , diverticulosis and hormonal imbalances. I’ve actually been thinking of water fasting as I’ve exhausted all my other options without success. Low and behold this talk shows up on my feed! Wow 😮 I’m starting water fasting 🙏
@@aroTheKidd hello , I’m just now learning about dry fasting . When I first saw your suggestion, it sorta freaked me out but I started looking into it and so I started dry fasting this evening. I’m going to see how I do for the next 16 -18 hours without water. Lucky for me 6-8 hours is spent overnight tonight as I sleep. But I’m a big water drinker and it’s the first thing I drink is 16 ounces of water when I get up and another 30 ounces before 10 am so this will be interesting. And it’s August -HOT!! 😳 But I want to see how i do. Thanks so much for planting that seed in my head and setting this in motion for me. 😎
I’ve read a lot of the comments on here and I think it’s right I share my experience I am embarking on now. I’ve completed a couple 1,2,3 even 4 day fasts. I am experiencing knee complications from an injury and want to help heal my body. I have had this on my mind since it happened. Reading these comments has helped revive my spirits on this first night. Thank you! I want to share with you all Hebrew 12:11 “ No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however it produces a harvest Of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it” 🧡
Beautiful scripture thank you for that it's really inspired me. Today I went 23hour fasting and 1 hour of eating only one meal tomorrow I will begin my water only fast until Christmas Eve
Have you checked out Dr. Pradip Jarmandas here on RUclips? He's a cardiologist who advocates for fasting, and ALL the benefits!! I love him. He has a two hour lecture on food addiction, and we watched the whole two hours, completely fascinated and hooked!!
My wife was diagnosed with T2D one month ago to the day. Immediately we both went on zero sugar, zero simple carbs and high cruciferous veggies. As well as intermittent fasting 18:6. Her blood sugars were around 300, now cruising around 90-120 with levels going down after eating. Her insulin resistance is disappearing! We're dropping weight, no aches and pains, breathing better, tons of energy and insane mental clarity only a month in. Love this new medical insight...a wave is coming!
Congratulation, Dustin! Best wishes to both of you. If diet causes a disease, a change of diet will alter the progression. You and your wife are smart!!!
@@GOATLAVISH777 great, thanks for asking. A1C is 5.2 and feeling amazing, not to mention looking amazing too. One of the best things is her cycles used to be incredibly painful, now she can barely tell.
I have been water fasting for years. I love it. I feel amazing and my body is so happy to not be trying to rid itself of poison every day. I am currently on day 21 of a 90 day fast. Down 23lbs. And very motivated to keep going. Fasting brings me closer to God which I also love. I came to this video for inspiration and i am excited to see all of the people in the comments realizing the benefits of fasting.
That is amazing! I remember attending a fasting conference in bible college 15-years back. Many students took part in fasting and praying that week. I've never been able to fast due to the intense pain and headaches that accompany with fasting after 24-hours. This is probably due to eating so much junk and caffeine over the years. Just wanted to add, I can do the 16:8 method that some call a type of fasting.
@@paullynch1938 I would talk to your doctor. With that, there has been stories, papers, and videos with people stating that fasting reduced their need for medication or even the need for any medication. There has been reports of the body healing itself with fasting. Remember to prepare, study, and start with small fasts. I typically fast 18/6 every day - that is 18 hours of fasting and 6 hours of eating. Doing this without changing what I eat has caused me to lose about 20 pounds in two months. I am not changing how much I eat and slowly reducing my sugar intake.
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 😉
As an 80 yr old retired physician I rue the meds prescribed over the years. I’ve now adopted the lifestyle now that you recommend and see the tremendous benefits. Am grateful, and running my horse hobby farm in good health.

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’m water fasting 9 days at time, when I can’t stand it, I eat olives about 5…it satisfies me and I keep going! It works great! I’ve lost 40 pounds in 32 days now! This works folks! You can do it! It takes extra discipline. If you need salt, drink a little pickle juice or or olive juice or Himalayan salt water. Discipline is determination! Let your own body do the work!
Dr. Goldhamer is the best in his field. I went to his clinic after being bedridden for 2 years in my late 20"s. His clinic changed my life and turned my health around! I stayed at his clinic for 25 days. Better than any vacation! God bless you Dr. Goldhamer.
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!!
@@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.
Last month I started alternate day fasting for 40 hours, every monday, wednesday and friday. It has changed my appetite for the better. I stop eating on Sunday around 6 pm and only have water and tea until Tuesday around 10. I wa on vacation last week and did one meal a day, didn't think my companions would understand not eating so I said nothing and only had dinner most days. As soon as I got back I weighed myself and only gained a pound! My metabolism is changing. I just completed a 48 hour fast and think I'll go longer once a season. I'm seeing great benefits and my body shape is changing. I don't need to lose weight, I'm doing this for longevity and health. Fascinating, wish I had found it years ago. I'm 67 and had surgery for a rare Chondrosarcoma almost 3 years ago and am determined to be as healthy as I can.
I’m on day 34 of 40 day water fasting for religious purposes. It was hard especially around day 25-30 and nearly gave in but through prayer I managed to soldier on. I was not weighing myself but can see positive results. No pains in my joints. Am an emotional eater and hoping to develop a healthy relationship with food and I believe fasting would help. Planning to follow up with intermittent fasting and then after introduce water fasting for 3 days in a month.
40 days is nothing. Theres a guy that did 383 days. He was monitored by doctors and given a vitamin mineral solution . That being said the most I've done is 24 hours. I am starting to fast this week. 4 to 6 hour window of eating. One large meal and one smaller. This is day 5, I haven't eaten for 10 hours and am going insane. Seriously I don't know how you've done it 34 days. Well done mister. Just make sure you don't starve to death.
Stefanos Prokopis What a way to motivate a sister my brother? Starting by saying 40 days is nothing? But I guess you were just trying to drive a point home. Seriously it was a big and scary thing to do. Having to do this all by myself without any medical supervision. Most people can’t do that it, so I won’t compare myself to anyone but me. I thank God for bringing me this far and will finish stronger. Don’t worry I won’t starve to death.
@@nanasekati8185 sorry I didn't mean to Demotivate you. You're right you shoudnt compare yourself to others. Because I was insensitive to you i am going to fast for another 12 hours on top of the 19 hours I set myself. Good luck to you and I hope you improve your health.
40 days in nothing but the longest you’ve ever done is 1 day? Just because one person fasted that long doesn’t mean that 40 days is nothing. She’s not getting minerals or being supervised by a doctor. And most people don’t make it 40 days. I think 40 days is pretty amazing!!! Great job!!! I did 5 days this week and had a refresh day. Going right back in and trying for 14 days. Good to know to keep an eye out on days 25-30 because eventually I hope to strive for 40 days! I’m impresses with your 40 days!
Came off my 40 Day Water-fast and it went ok. I lost a total of 22kg or just over 48lbs and it sorted my pre-diabetes. I will only stick to a 100% Vegan Diet (Whole Plant Based). Thank you Dr. Goldhamer - You inspired me.
@@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 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..
@@goodnatured3925 Shoot if maintained properly it can go quite a while. One guy while being monitered went 353 days and felt like he could do more but felt his body was telling him to stop
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.
I'll start tomorrow I just broke my fast I fasted for 3 days as a trial and I'll start tomorrow my goal is to fast for two weeks Do you know how old he really is?
@@FM-nk1zh I fasted for five days, but I broke the fast because of my final exams. I could not focus while I was asleep. I lost 4 kilograms. It was not about weight. All I wanted was acne-free skin. It worked. The effect of love and pigmentation has disappeared. I stopped eating carbohydrates and starches. And sugars and that's the best thing I've done in my life
Start slowly please. A long fast is like a marathon. You should at least jog around the block a few times. Start with a 16 hour fast one week then next week 20 hours.....till you can do a 3 day fast. Consider finding a binder for toxins too. Diatomaceous earth, charcoal, bentonite clay. To remove toxins safely.
Fasting is amazing, it’s hard but once you get past a certain point your body starts healing. I have no pain in my knees and joints, my skin glows and I feel light on my feet. The cobwebs clear in my head and It’s insane how good I feel. Fasting takes mental strength and that makes me feel super strong. I will always fast.
I tried my first fast on august 2nd planning to go for 7 days and I only lasted 3 until I got extreme nausea and vomiting so I gave up. ugh. Should I try it again tomorrow or wait longer to start another fast because this time I want to last longer. Any advice??
@@avajayne7250 always listen to your body, I have never in all my 20 years of fasting experienced vomiting or felt nauseous. I would absolutely wait a week or two before trying it again. Good luck and I’m looking forward to hearing how your experience goes. 👍🏻
Rayraycat32 wow really? I heard it happens to some people but it could also be my ADHD medication on a empty stomach causing the nausea. I’ve been trying again and I’m on my 2nd day now… feeling alright but the nausea is back again.. aiming for 5 I think
I’ve fasted at True North twice. I have so much respect for Dr. Goldhammer. Lifestyle and fasting are so empowering, I recommend this with all of my heart.
@@Tonyflowrowdy According to their website, the daily rate ranges from $199 to $599, depending on the type of room you choose and the number of people in your group. So its not even something I'd be able to consider.
I have told people since 2005 how one time when I was getting divorced, I did not eat for 40 days and on day 40, I had a strong electric buzz on the top of my head, and got off the floor with the most energy and least pain of my life.
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.
Those first 72 hours of water fasting is tough as a newcomer, with only a couple 7 day fasts under my belt. I am starting a 7 day water fast today, hoping to push myself to 14 days. Here’s to healing my mind and body. Update: Finished my 7 day fast, feel amazing and down 13 lbs.
What did you eat when you broke your fast? I broke my 7 day fast with strawberries and blueberries but my next goal is 14 days and I wonder if that will be a good idea.
@@chanellynel I ate cabbage soup. 1 head Napa cabbage, 1 bunch celery, 3 grn bell pep, 6 med yellow onion, 2 qt organic chick broth. Rough chop veg, throw in huge pot, pour in broth, fill to top with H2O. Boil for 5-10 min, reduce to low simmer until veg is tender. I like to add spice to mine with Cholula in my individual bowl.
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.
Dr. Goldhamer is a genius. I had the pleasure of recently attending the True North Health Centre and hearing him speak in person. I completed a 14 day water only fast, followed by a whole plant food diet free of added salt, oil and sugar, and it has been life changing. I’m so grateful to him. He’s passionate committed, and hilarious at the same time!
I also believe Dr. Goldhamer is a genius. He is passionate about his work and sticks to his principles. Would love to have him check St. Margaret Hospital in Hammond, Indiana where they closed it and may tear it down. Over 500, 000 population in county and close to Chicago. GOD BLESS DR. ALAN GOLDHAMER.

This guy has been so far ahead of the curve it's mind blowing. If only a tenth of the worlds doctors had his enthusiasm and knowledge. Apart from the the fact that he isn't a secret salesman you can just see in his yes he wants to make people better, what a star.
Doctors aren't trained to have ideas. They're trained to recognize a problem and treat it with what they've learned. The people who wrote the books they learn from did so without regard for long-term consequences. Many are based on pills/substances being the "cure" even if it has wild side effects. As long as it helps cure 'some' people, it's the given treatment. Drugs get phased out constantly for 'the new best thing' Which is almost guaranteed to be another side effect ridden substitute.
For me, it's like living your life with rain every day. You have no idea how beautiful a sunny day can be because rain is all you've known. It's the same with fasting. We have no idea how much poisonous, addictive trash we eat every day until we're able to step away from it and feel amazing! I bet the food-producing industries would panic if people ever realized how little food we really need.
There is something to this. The daily guideline we have been given were, I believe (from memory, this was discussed in the book 'Big Fat Lie' by Nina Tcheiholz) based on the average of something like 60 people, of roughly the same age and body type. They were observed, and the dietary guidelines based on what these people needed. In other words, a bit of a guess. What I am saying is I think you are right, in that the amount of food we need to survive and thrive is probably much less than what we have been led to believe.
I’ve previously done a 30day fast, and now I’m 8 days into 40- in the last week of my 30 days I was so absolutely at peace & at such peak mental clarity I thought I was dead lol- after living with depression for years previous, being so free and purely happy seemed almost alien, I’m so grateful to have found it & wish the same for everyone :)
@@asdf1991asdf Proud of your commitment to your fasts either way! ☺️ I really didn’t get to that kind of “enlightenment” feeling until my last week of fasting but I eased into eating afterwards starting with light soups etc. I found that the excess sugar in my diet really fuelled my depressed feelings (not being the cause of them, but sugar certainly did not benefit my symptoms) Anyway, I hope you find a routine that works for you soon, all the best & thanks again :)
I love this. I'm 32 Yr old male and suffered with depression for as long as I can remember. I have only just started a 5 day fast today so I'm ready for the benefits. I suffer with agoraphobia too which was caused I'm sure by the depression and anxiety. I was a plasterer but lost it all. Time to restart my life. Good luck I'm really happy for you.
@@stuffedturkey12 Thank you so much & I wish you all the best with fasting! thats the beautiful thing really, it acts a fresh start (both physically & mentally). The feeling of renewing yourself in that way is something I’d wish for everyone! Haha if only food wasn’t so damn good lol
@@xoshanland Thanks for sharing your fasting experience. You are an impressive woman to do these long fasts. I wish I had your will power, because I can make it about 20 hours on a fast. As for your depression, have you ever had your methylmalonic acid tested? This will show your B12 at the tissue level. A regular B12 blood test won't show the tissue level, you need the methylmalonic acid test, and if it's elevated, it will mean you have a low B12 in the tissue. When the B12 gets low at the tissue, it causes the M acid to get high, which blocks enzymes that convert ammonia to urea. When the ammonia gets high, it causes depression and other problems. I researched this years ago when my brother became depressed and it was a low B12 causing it. A low D3 can also cause depression. Anyway, that fasting is definitely working for you because you look great and are a very pretty woman.
@@Okie343 That is for sure something I will look into! Investing in my health & what makes me feel good has been my hobby (for the better) during this pandemic & I most certainly worked for a long time to be able to do such fasts but I love how there is always benefits no matter the length (your 20hrs is still 20 hours!!!) Thank you for that information though, you are a great brother to have done that research to help out a sibling ☺️
I was about to hit 300 pounds when my depression got really bad. I started to fast and dropped 95 pounds and was able to keep it off until the beginning of covid. I gained back 20 pounds due to boredom and overeating which was on my part but even then I was still able to maintain my weight. I’m gonna start another fast for the month to get back to my last goal weight. But honestly this has helped so much. And one of the only things I was able to stick to.
@@karmiettaIRL start with water fasts and drink electrolytes like Himalayan salt for sodium and potassium not more than one tb on your water Jason fung recommend 1 week to 2 week fast then break Your fast slowly with bone broth eggs or vegetables juices till your body gets used to eating back again you can lose 5 pounds of fat a week or more depending on your weight

Aside from the addiction piece, we've also been conditioned to assume that if we are not feeling well, we need to consume something else. We've been told every solution is additive. Many solutions involve not doing something - but no one gets rich when we do less.
I am on day 2 of water only fasting. I have fasted before but never for emotional healing. I have been feeling anxiety, sadness and addiction to certain foods and I keep getting the nudge to fast and I am excited to feel the results.
My brother-in-law, at the time a fast-food junkie, was diagnosed with leukemia and was given a year to live without submitting to a bone-marrow transplant. Rather than submit to allopathic methods, he went on an exclusively natural food diet. His leukemia disappeared and he has been cancer-free since.

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 ❤.
I completed a 5 day water fast and I felt amazing. I messed up by binging on the weekend :( but, I'm not going to let it discourage me. I am starting over again today. Wish me luck!
Dont get discouraged. Try eating whole foods plant based soon after fasting. I love my 4 to 5 days. Wanna go a week next. Lately I do an OMAD. I feel great.
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 ❤️
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! 🌱🤍
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.

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 once did a 3 day water fast for my UTI bc I did not want to take the antibiotic route. And to my utter amazement, my UTI was completely cured by water fasting alone. I also ended up w clear, perfect skin as a side effect. I’m a firm believer in fasting.

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.
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!

@@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.

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.
congrats man. I am starting my 40 day fast tomorrow.
@@SportsSimp what was your weight before and after?
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!
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
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 😌
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.
What about refeed I keep seeing different RUclips doctors saying it can kill you and that’s the only thing holding me back and I keep telling myself Jesus fasted 40 days can I please get your opinion I live with lupus and I believe this is my answer
@@Myfoodaddiction2024 I’m not a doctor or a
Dietician. Just look on RUclips the best ways to break your fast.
Last time I soaked 10 prunes. The first night of breaking the fast I drunk the water, the next day I had 1 prune every 6 hours. I’m still alive to eat this.
Although it is the most important part of fasting, because in my first fasting I had problem with a fatty liver.
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!
You are full of bs xx
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

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.
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.

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.

Did you complete your fast? How are you doing now?
I have just made a new comment on this video where you can follow along :) take a look!
YES YOU CAN! Raise that vibration and never stop! Peace and proud of you.
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.
@@Alex-hongry no response. He must have died of hunger
We can do all things through Christ💡🌈🙏
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

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.

Congratulations 🥰👏👏👏
@@gabriellazordan thank you
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!

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.
5 days of water fasting is a Great accomplishment! Health-wise I'd like to see your bio-markers!
Stupid Bible has nothing to do with it
The bible says lots of crazy things, but that doesn't make it right!
Fasting, marriage and a lot of other things existed before Christianity!
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 just made it to 82 hours on my water fast this week! 🙏☺️
My next goal is an 8 day water fast!
Go gurl !! 👏🏽
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’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.

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.

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)

@@thelowksta7126 wow! That’s really great. I barely feel any hunger because of some medications I take so it should be a little easier for me to do. Usually I can go 2-3 days with no food without a problem but I’ll try 7 days next.
@@waabke yea it was real difficult but i think that maybe a dry fast might be much easier because i guess they say in a dry fast u want water every single time u can get it. Sometimes u can over drink water. And supposedly also in a dry fast 1 day of dry fasting is equivalent to 2-3 days of dry fasting. And is much harder on repairing the body meaning it attacks everything 3x times more than a water fast

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.

That's funny Paul. I'm 64 and I've told my wife that when I was young I would forget to eat because it would get in the way of my playing. My mother asked a doctor who said , Madam don't worry, he wont die. Luckily I've never been heavy, makes a difference to your organs and your joints.
Love this, so true
That's an amazing way to put it!
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.

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)
Amen
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.
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...

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😅

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.

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🥳

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.

do people not do it for the duration of fasting?
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.

The body needs a constant supply of protein to live and protect all the bodies organs and their function ect... id suggest actual legitimate diet change and learning about how protein work to find a better source of such foods. Fasting is a terrible money making myth. Blood work and actual data is truly a much better idea if ones really wishing to have concrete and factual based information for what’s going on in ones body concerning diet.
@@arvinmathew6684 quit food
Fantastic for your sobriety Susan! Your goals with food and fasting are spot on. I hope you’re doing well with it. I’m 62. Abused alcohol and drugs starting at 13. I started fasting at 15. Read Paul Braggs book and I was sold. But I continued abusing. I now have cirrhosis. I’ve been substance free for 2 years. I was 12 hours from death in 2019. Eating clean and fasting makes a huge difference in everything. At my heaviest I was 264. Now I hover around 145. Joy and elation hang out with me every day. I’m really happy to hear your story. You are a warrior too!
"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.

I used fasting to get from 240 with a big gut to 170 with ABS, I put on 30lbs to do 21 day fast, Come to my channel and take a look feel free to ask me any questions you have about fasting, daily updates
Yes, because the truth he speaks is being buried by big medicine, big pharma, food industry, and big tech, ultimately the men at the top. This is the type of truth that could change the world if people were exposed to it by the places that claim to help you!
Probably because he doesn’t actually fast and isn’t dumb enough to try that shit. His eyes are lighting up with the money he makes from selling this mythical bullshit.
@@audimaster5000 Have you tried it?
@@harrisonfiore7090 Yes. Years ago when I sort of fell into the rabbit hole of this type of pseudoscience. Sure some of it has legit research and data to back it up, but not everyone is the same- also people’s metabolism and such can change quite significantly depending on all sorts of factors. PubMed and Google scholar are good to look up the most up to date studies and such.
Day 6 - lost 17LBS. Was planning to last at least a day or two. Taking a day at a time but hoping to last at least two weeks. Started at 375- now slowly coming down. Not feeling hungry- i guess i have plenty of storage to take from ;-) Stay strong whoever is fasting now!!
Keep it up. You’re doing well

How did fast go? How long did you fast and how many pounds lost?
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.

@@aroTheKidd hello , I’m just now learning about dry fasting . When I first saw your suggestion, it sorta freaked me out but I started looking into it and so I started dry fasting this evening. I’m going to see how I do for the next 16 -18 hours without water. Lucky for me 6-8 hours is spent overnight tonight as I sleep. But I’m a big water drinker and it’s the first thing I drink is 16 ounces of water when I get up and another 30 ounces before 10 am so this will be interesting. And it’s August -HOT!! 😳 But I want to see how i do.
Thanks so much for planting that seed in my head and setting this in motion for me. 😎
I’ve read a lot of the comments on here and I think it’s right I share my experience I am embarking on now. I’ve completed a couple 1,2,3 even 4 day fasts. I am experiencing knee complications from an injury and want to help heal my body. I have had this on my mind since it happened. Reading these comments has helped revive my spirits on this first night. Thank you! I want to share with you all Hebrew 12:11 “ No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however it produces a harvest Of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it” 🧡
Beautiful scripture thank you for that it's really inspired me. Today I went 23hour fasting and 1 hour of eating only one meal tomorrow I will begin my water only fast until Christmas Eve
I needed this scripture!!!!
Thank you
Thank you for sharing your testimony and that Scripture
Have you checked out Dr. Pradip Jarmandas here on RUclips? He's a cardiologist who advocates for fasting, and ALL the benefits!! I love him. He has a two hour lecture on food addiction, and we watched the whole two hours, completely fascinated and hooked!!
My wife was diagnosed with T2D one month ago to the day. Immediately we both went on zero sugar, zero simple carbs and high cruciferous veggies. As well as intermittent fasting 18:6. Her blood sugars were around 300, now cruising around 90-120 with levels going down after eating. Her insulin resistance is disappearing! We're dropping weight, no aches and pains, breathing better, tons of energy and insane mental clarity only a month in. Love this new medical insight...a wave is coming!
Congratulation, Dustin! Best wishes to both of you. If diet causes a disease, a change of diet will alter the progression.
You and your wife are smart!!!
How's it still going with her blood sugars?

@@GOATLAVISH777 great, thanks for asking. A1C is 5.2 and feeling amazing, not to mention looking amazing too. One of the best things is her cycles used to be incredibly painful, now she can barely tell.
I have been water fasting for years. I love it. I feel amazing and my body is so happy to not be trying to rid itself of poison every day. I am currently on day 21 of a 90 day fast. Down 23lbs. And very motivated to keep going. Fasting brings me closer to God which I also love. I came to this video for inspiration and i am excited to see all of the people in the comments realizing the benefits of fasting.
That is amazing! I remember attending a fasting conference in bible college 15-years back. Many students took part in fasting and praying that week. I've never been able to fast due to the intense pain and headaches that accompany with fasting after 24-hours. This is probably due to eating so much junk and caffeine over the years.
Just wanted to add, I can do the 16:8 method that some call a type of fasting.
Can you do it if you’re on medication cause I fancy this
@@paullynch1938 I would talk to your doctor. With that, there has been stories, papers, and videos with people stating that fasting reduced their need for medication or even the need for any medication. There has been reports of the body healing itself with fasting. Remember to prepare, study, and start with small fasts.
I typically fast 18/6 every day - that is 18 hours of fasting and 6 hours of eating. Doing this without changing what I eat has caused me to lose about 20 pounds in two months. I am not changing how much I eat and slowly reducing my sugar intake.
No way your fasting for 90 days. Your can’t live 90s with no food and just water unless you are taking electrolytes and stuff too.
Are you working during this time? Full time, part time, or don’t need to work…
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
As an 80 yr old retired physician I rue the meds prescribed over the years. I’ve now adopted the lifestyle now that you recommend and see the tremendous benefits. Am grateful, and running my horse hobby farm in good health.

What type of fasting did you Do?
Like once? Or continuously
Last month I started alternate day fasting for 40 hours, every monday, wednesday and friday. It has changed my appetite for the better. I stop eating on Sunday around 6 pm and only have water and tea until Tuesday around 10. I wa on vacation last week and did one meal a day, didn't think my companions would understand not eating so I said nothing and only had dinner most days. As soon as I got back I weighed myself and only gained a pound! My metabolism is changing. I just completed a 48 hour fast and think I'll go longer once a season. I'm seeing great benefits and my body shape is changing. I don't need to lose weight, I'm doing this for longevity and health. Fascinating, wish I had found it years ago. I'm 67 and had surgery for a rare Chondrosarcoma almost 3 years ago and am determined to be as healthy as I can.
I like this idea. Is there a magic number with 40?
I’m on day 34 of 40 day water fasting for religious purposes. It was hard especially around day 25-30 and nearly gave in but through prayer I managed to soldier on. I was not weighing myself but can see positive results. No pains in my joints. Am an emotional eater and hoping to develop a healthy relationship with food and I believe fasting would help. Planning to follow up with intermittent fasting and then after introduce water fasting for 3 days in a month.
40 days is nothing. Theres a guy that did 383 days. He was monitored by doctors and given a vitamin mineral solution . That being said the most I've done is 24 hours. I am starting to fast this week. 4 to 6 hour window of eating. One large meal and one smaller. This is day 5, I haven't eaten for 10 hours and am going insane. Seriously I don't know how you've done it 34 days. Well done mister. Just make sure you don't starve to death.

All love brother ❤️ thank you and best of wishes on your fasting journey.
40 days in nothing but the longest you’ve ever done is 1 day? Just because one person fasted that long doesn’t mean that 40 days is nothing. She’s not getting minerals or being supervised by a doctor. And most people don’t make it 40 days. I think 40 days is pretty amazing!!!
Great job!!! I did 5 days this week and had a refresh day. Going right back in and trying for 14 days. Good to know to keep an eye out on days 25-30 because eventually I hope to strive for 40 days! I’m impresses with your 40 days!

I think you prevented something big. That's is very good. It's good to do 1 week fasting once a year to prevent.
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.

It worked. The effect of love and pigmentation has disappeared. I stopped eating carbohydrates and starches. And sugars and that's the best thing I've done in my life
@@فاطمهحمزه-ط6غ Awsome. Very happy for you🥰
I'm starting my water fast today, I pray to go on for days if possible weeks. I need this so badly. 2021 I got you by the balls.
How you doing?
@@jadenpvps thanks for checking out. This is my day 2 , not easy but I'll admit I feel great.
Start slowly please. A long fast is like a marathon. You should at least jog around the block a few times.
Start with a 16 hour fast one week then next week 20 hours.....till you can do a 3 day fast. Consider finding a binder for toxins too. Diatomaceous earth, charcoal, bentonite clay. To remove toxins safely.
@@carrikartes1403 thank you I'll consider all the options and take it slow. So far so good, I feel great on my day two.
@@bibibibi8634 there's a good app with a good community of fasters at Fast Forward
Fasting is amazing, it’s hard but once you get past a certain point your body starts healing. I have no pain in my knees and joints, my skin glows and I feel light on my feet. The cobwebs clear in my head and It’s insane how good I feel.
Fasting takes mental strength and that makes me feel super strong. I will always fast.
I tried my first fast on august 2nd planning to go for 7 days and I only lasted 3 until I got extreme nausea and vomiting so I gave up. ugh. Should I try it again tomorrow or wait longer to start another fast because this time I want to last longer. Any advice??
@@avajayne7250 always listen to your body, I have never in all my 20 years of fasting experienced vomiting or felt nauseous. I would absolutely wait a week or two before trying it again. Good luck and I’m looking forward to hearing how your experience goes. 👍🏻
Rayraycat32 wow really? I heard it happens to some people but it could also be my ADHD medication on a empty stomach causing the nausea. I’ve been trying again and I’m on my 2nd day now… feeling alright but the nausea is back again.. aiming for 5 I think
Hope forgive me but you are beautiful I just thought I had to tell you that
@@avajayne7250 just know that isn’t a bad thing your body was in the detox process it was doing it’s job
I’ve fasted at True North twice. I have so much respect for Dr. Goldhammer. Lifestyle and fasting are so empowering, I recommend this with all of my heart.
What was the cost?
Did you do a long term fast? I was wondering what the cost would be for a 21 or 40 day fast
How much is it?
@@Tonyflowrowdy According to their website, the daily rate ranges from $199 to $599, depending on the type of room you choose and the number of people in your group. So its not even something I'd be able to consider.
Why don't u do it on ur own?@@naomijohnson4901
I have told people since 2005 how one time when I was getting divorced, I did not eat for 40 days and on day 40, I had a strong electric buzz on the top of my head, and got off the floor with the most energy and least pain of my life.
Now you are Angel 😇 !
I’m fasting now and I have same feeling at the tip of my fingers.
"got off the floor"??
I’m on a 20 day fast. I’m starting today. My journey to happy health.
How's it going for you?
@@cherryl676 its rough but I'm getting through it. Thanksgiving is coming. I will be eating.
@@kimberlyroute5983 you didn't get 20, after 3 day's it' easy, Judy gry past first week
still on?
Extend it by a day if you’re willing. There’s science behind it. Best wishes.
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.
What was your illness if you don’t mind me asking
Sofiya Patel We would love to know. Thank you for shairing your testemony
Scary to think that your doctors advise could have killed you
that was big of her.
wow, your story is inspiring, but also the doctor admiting that she was wrong and learning about the subject returns hope to humanity!
I'm on m'y 37th days on 40 to heal a breast cancer, and doing well. ☺️
Congratulations
Thank you @@DOTMH_1 . 😃
Wow, that is amazing! Did you do it with a doctor oversight or on your own? Did you see good results in regrds to cancer?
Great! That should knock it out.
Did it work?
Those first 72 hours of water fasting is tough as a newcomer, with only a couple 7 day fasts under my belt. I am starting a 7 day water fast today, hoping to push myself to 14 days. Here’s to healing my mind and body.
Update: Finished my 7 day fast, feel amazing and down 13 lbs.
Blessings & good luck for you dear.
I am doing the 72 hours fasting. It was hard at first but now I am thinking of doing the 5 day fast. It gets easier every day.
What did you eat when you broke your fast? I broke my 7 day fast with strawberries and blueberries but my next goal is 14 days and I wonder if that will be a good idea.
@@chanellynel I ate cabbage soup. 1 head Napa cabbage, 1 bunch celery, 3 grn bell pep, 6 med yellow onion, 2 qt organic chick broth. Rough chop veg, throw in huge pot, pour in broth, fill to top with H2O. Boil for 5-10 min, reduce to low simmer until veg is tender. I like to add spice to mine with Cholula in my individual bowl.
You can do it 14 or 21
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.
This is a great way to fast!
I just can’t admire enough this doctor’s enthusiasm to let the world know. Thank you so much doctor
He's not a doctor.
What does “Dr” in front of his name stand for.. I thought it was doctor.
@@lirishamanyala45 He's a chiropractor.
@@BNJ24 either way he’s helping optimize peoples health & saving lives. Most doctors are dumb asses with overpriced degrees.
Am on my 11th day of water fast. Feeling great. Thanks for inspiring and informing!
Are you serious?
Dr. Goldhamer is a genius. I had the pleasure of recently attending the True North Health Centre and hearing him speak in person. I completed a 14 day water only fast, followed by a whole plant food diet free of added salt, oil and sugar, and it has been life changing. I’m so grateful to him. He’s passionate committed, and hilarious at the same time!
I agree, decent, good guy!
Is it all oil or is virgin olive oil ok?
you should try Tanglewood (his competition) it's much better
I also believe Dr. Goldhamer is a genius. He is passionate about his work and sticks to his principles. Would love to have him check St. Margaret Hospital in Hammond, Indiana where they closed it and may tear it down. Over 500, 000 population in county and close to Chicago. GOD BLESS DR. ALAN GOLDHAMER.
@@katharden5806- no oil is allowed- or needed. When you eat whole food plant based you get all the needed fatty acids your body requires. All oils are highly refined, fractionated foods- even olive oil.
Lord please protect these men. They are dropping some harsh truths.
Jesus Christ is returning soon. Repent (turn around from your ungodly ways) and believe the Gospel. For
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes
in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Are you sure?
Exactly. The body needs a steady supply of protein to live. Fasting is a myth and complete bullshit.
@Brooklyn Bully Ariel Make Them Mad if Jesus came back centuries ago, you and I would not be born. I thank God for His patience and mercy so me and you can one day inherit the kingdom, God willing.
@@audimaster5000 there is an autophagy, you know
This guy has been so far ahead of the curve it's mind blowing. If only a tenth of the worlds doctors had his enthusiasm and knowledge. Apart from the the fact that he isn't a secret salesman you can just see in his yes he wants to make people better, what a star.
For sure. He says "We need to make our people less vulnerable to the diseases."
Doctors aren't trained to have ideas. They're trained to recognize a problem and treat it with what they've learned. The people who wrote the books they learn from did so without regard for long-term consequences. Many are based on pills/substances being the "cure" even if it has wild side effects. As long as it helps cure 'some' people, it's the given treatment. Drugs get phased out constantly for 'the new best thing'
Which is almost guaranteed to be another side effect ridden substitute.
For me, it's like living your life with rain every day. You have no idea how beautiful a sunny day can be because rain is all you've known.
It's the same with fasting.
We have no idea how much poisonous, addictive trash we eat every day until we're able to step away from it and feel amazing!
I bet the food-producing industries would panic if people ever realized how little food we really need.
Well said
Somewhere deep down inside of me believes we don’t need food at all.
There is something to this. The daily guideline we have been given were, I believe (from memory, this was discussed in the book 'Big Fat Lie' by Nina Tcheiholz) based on the average of something like 60 people, of roughly the same age and body type. They were observed, and the dietary guidelines based on what these people needed. In other words, a bit of a guess.
What I am saying is I think you are right, in that the amount of food we need to survive and thrive is probably much less than what we have been led to believe.
@@TheWildHerbplease. Don’t be daft 😂
@@Marigold-ip3gw it’s not hard to believe.
I’ve previously done a 30day fast, and now I’m 8 days into 40- in the last week of my 30 days I was so absolutely at peace & at such peak mental clarity I thought I was dead lol- after living with depression for years previous, being so free and purely happy seemed almost alien, I’m so grateful to have found it & wish the same for everyone :)
@@asdf1991asdf Proud of your commitment to your fasts either way! ☺️ I really didn’t get to that kind of “enlightenment” feeling until my last week of fasting but I eased into eating afterwards starting with light soups etc. I found that the excess sugar in my diet really fuelled my depressed feelings (not being the cause of them, but sugar certainly did not benefit my symptoms) Anyway, I hope you find a routine that works for you soon, all the best & thanks again :)
I love this. I'm 32 Yr old male and suffered with depression for as long as I can remember. I have only just started a 5 day fast today so I'm ready for the benefits. I suffer with agoraphobia too which was caused I'm sure by the depression and anxiety. I was a plasterer but lost it all. Time to restart my life. Good luck I'm really happy for you.
@@stuffedturkey12 Thank you so much & I wish you all the best with fasting! thats the beautiful thing really, it acts a fresh start (both physically & mentally). The feeling of renewing yourself in that way is something I’d wish for everyone! Haha if only food wasn’t so damn good lol
@@xoshanland Thanks for sharing your fasting experience. You are an impressive woman to do these long fasts. I wish I had your will power, because I can make it about 20 hours on a fast. As for your depression, have you ever had your methylmalonic acid tested? This will show your B12 at the tissue level. A regular B12 blood test won't show the tissue level, you need the methylmalonic acid test, and if it's elevated, it will mean you have a low B12 in the tissue. When the B12 gets low at the tissue, it causes the M acid to get high, which blocks enzymes that convert ammonia to urea. When the ammonia gets high, it causes depression and other problems. I researched this years ago when my brother became depressed and it was a low B12 causing it. A low D3 can also cause depression. Anyway, that fasting is definitely working for you because you look great and are a very pretty woman.
@@Okie343 That is for sure something I will look into! Investing in my health & what makes me feel good has been my hobby (for the better) during this pandemic & I most certainly worked for a long time to be able to do such fasts but I love how there is always benefits no matter the length (your 20hrs is still 20 hours!!!) Thank you for that information though, you are a great brother to have done that research to help out a sibling ☺️
I was about to hit 300 pounds when my depression got really bad. I started to fast and dropped 95 pounds and was able to keep it off until the beginning of covid. I gained back 20 pounds due to boredom and overeating which was on my part but even then I was still able to maintain my weight. I’m gonna start another fast for the month to get back to my last goal weight. But honestly this has helped so much. And one of the only things I was able to stick to.
🏆💜🌹👑
What type of fast and how long?
@@karmiettaIRL start with water fasts and drink electrolytes like Himalayan salt for sodium and potassium not more than one tb on your water Jason fung recommend 1 week to 2 week fast then break Your fast slowly with bone broth eggs or vegetables juices till your body gets used to eating back again you can lose 5 pounds of fat a week or more depending on your weight
Good for you!
did you have any loose skin when doing fasting
I did a 7 day recently and I want to do it again. I felt free.
Isn't it amazing how liberating it is? Its hard to understand unless someone actually does it.
I also did. 7 day. I noticed my sense of smell got much better. I lost about 2 lbs per day.
@@EdmundTrujillo did you just drink water? Or did you add salt too?
@@idkidc1377 I did water only. My sense of smell got really good. I could smell a pizzeria a few blocks away.
My record on water fasting in 3.5 days. If anyone feels weak after 3-4 days, add some salt in the water, the salt has electrolites which are essential
This doctor is so passionate about his protocol he makes you want to start the fast NOW!
What a perfect interview. Neither one of them interrupt each other, they both know what they're talking about and they both seem like totally super nice dudes that really want to help people. I loved this podcast .... and I learned a lot!
i agree
Rich interrupted him plenty
i dont like this guy,fast talking salesman
@@staysea36 You should learn something.
@@staysea36 He's selling nothing. He's enthused about people getting healthy, and he's super intelligent.
Aside from the addiction piece, we've also been conditioned to assume that if we are not feeling well, we need to consume something else. We've been told every solution is additive. Many solutions involve not doing something - but no one gets rich when we do less.
Yup, there is no money to be made with fasting.
This is so true omg
Amen
Reduce, re-use etc. I totally agree with. I wanna add Maybe if we stop consuming maybe we start having better relationships.
Looking for an accountability partner.. anyone? Please? Lets do this!
I am on day 2 of water only fasting. I have fasted before but never for emotional healing. I have been feeling anxiety, sadness and addiction to certain foods and I keep getting the nudge to fast and I am excited to feel the results.
How did you do 🙏
Hope you did well this is my exact reason for fasting that and to grow spiritually
@@youknowelgin I did 6 days and 7 nights and felt amazing. It was hard due to the conditioned habit of eating.
My brother-in-law, at the time a fast-food junkie, was diagnosed with leukemia and was given a year to live without submitting to a bone-marrow transplant. Rather than submit to allopathic methods, he went on an exclusively natural food diet. His leukemia disappeared and he has been cancer-free since.
Thats wonderful. Very inspiring!
It was God
You are not telling the truth
@@hhuodod2209 100% true. Why do you not believe it?
@@williamjeffreys2980 its a big pharma bot
Totally true. After 4 days of water fasting you don't feel hungry. I cook meals for my family and I am totally fine
how did you cope the first 4 days .. currently at 30 hours and really feeling it
Thank you, I was wondering because hubs won't even consider this (it's taken many years just to get him to walk with me each day.)
I started my journey 48 hours ago . And I feel great than ever . I feel powerful . I have depression but making this challenging myself in some way made me happy .
Gratz
Hope you be happier soon! Depression is so mean. Hoping that the fast brings you joy, also afterwards.
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 ❤.
How are you doing? Hope all is well.
Hey did u get well??
I completed a 5 day water fast and I felt amazing. I messed up by binging on the weekend :( but, I'm not going to let it discourage me. I am starting over again today. Wish me luck!
Dont get discouraged. Try eating whole foods plant based soon after fasting. I love my 4 to 5 days. Wanna go a week next. Lately I do an OMAD. I feel great.
Good luck man
Be impressed you did that!!! There are ALWAYS benefits!
Good luck, I'm starting mines Monday
Keep grabbing the bull by the horns. Never give up and Good Luck!!
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.
You're an amazing example :)
Wow, Good job!!
Discipline IS they key, indeed.
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 ❤️
i just bought a new juicer and im juicing vedgies and fruit these last 2 weeks and iv lost 4 kg and feel great :)
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.
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.
Am Currently 3rd day only water
Does Only water means without any minerals, salts, electrolytes etc ?
god isn’t real
@@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.
@@likhithamnyes t!!he sugar in some of the electrolyte powers are tricky.
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 once did a 3 day water fast for my UTI bc I did not want to take the antibiotic route. And to my utter amazement, my UTI was completely cured by water fasting alone. I also ended up w clear, perfect skin as a side effect. I’m a firm believer in fasting.
My skin is better too
@Spring Apricot Ramadan is not fasting is dieting.
