@@HealthCoachKait Every other day, but I kept getting carb cravings even though I eat a high protein diet. I eat 5 small meals a day and it stops me from feeling hungry. I don't eat anything about 5 hours before bed.. I work shifts, so a normal routine is out of the question.
I have water fasted on and off for 50 years, I have done 3 day 5 day most of the time but 20 years ago I did a 28 day fast that was amazing, all my allergies to pollen, and cats went away and have lasted all these years. I did this with the guidance of a fasting coach, don’t do such a long fast alone. I am 77 and currently on a 5 day fast.
Currently, I’ve done 23:1 fasting protocol (one meal a day) for 21 days. I did one 48 hour fast during that time as well. I feel clear, energetic, brain fog and aches and pains in my body are gone. After the first day or two, it became incredibly easy. All cravings disappeared and I hardly think about food and snacks like I used to when I used to eat 3 meals a day + snacks. I’m also exercising about a half hour a day, and feeling stronger all the time. I plan to do this forever!
What I got rid of by doing keto and fasting. Reversed my 6.8 diabetic 6.8 to 4.9 took me 5 months to do that. By the time my liver finishes detoxing doctor says I'll be a 4.1 or 4.2. Also finally got off blood pressure meds. From 213 to 172 now. No inflammation or mucle spasms, no more being fatigued, no more allergies. A new found of burst of energy, I'm 55 yrs old and and look young and feel like I'm 20. It's been amazing what you can accomplish when you set your mind on it. No more meds for me ❤️
Carnivore OMAD, with occasional 48 hour fasting. To date I have lost 70 pounds, am no longer type 2 diabetic, blood pressure is in the normal range, rid myself of my arthritis, my peripheral neuropathy has shown marked improvement, I sleep better, and have noticeably more energy. Also, I am no longer on Metformin, Atorvastatin, and Lisinopril.
@@abdulgafur4337 I started this routine last November. Stopped all medications after 6 months. But note that I was very strict with myself. No cheating. None whatsoever! Currently, the weight loss is over 80 pounds. I'm near my target weight now, so I don't expect to lose much more. Especially since I'm increasing muscle mass. I would assume that is due to my increase in activity.
@@redriverbluesman I'll be 68 next month. I don't know of any other seniors on this plan. Most people I've talked to say that their doctors say that this is extreme. Well, of course it is! I spent years taking meds and only got worse as time went by. To me, it makes sense, but most people I talk to hesitate to use this method. I was hesitant myself when I first started, but my decline was accelerating and I was desperate. Desperate times require desperate measures! I was having trouble getting around, but now I'm active and energetic. I split firewood with an axe, mow my one acre lawn with a push mower, and I'm contemplating running again. It's amazing the things that I don't even consider as food any longer.
Just finished a 20 hour fast. Was going to eat at 16 hours but just waited until I got off from work. Your videos are great. I look forward to them. Thanks
I've been enjoying a 23:1 OMAD strategy since July, and threw in a 9-Day starve a month ago to produce Stem Cells in abundance, truly enter and remain in ketosis, give my gut and pancreas a nice holiday, smack any unknown cancer cells about a little, restore a proper level of insulin sensitivity, and cleanse my liver of as many fatty deposits as possible. Daily drinking lemon-infused water (sometimes with ACV as well) is enough to prevent hunger pangs for me, so long as I keep ahead of them kicking in at about the 8 hour mark until the 12. The rest is just "eyes on the prize" for a leaner, healthier, longer future. If I feel as though I might have a snack or a meal "out of hours", I watch an informative and inspiring presentation such as this to remind me of the benefits I'd be throwing away that day.
I generally do 16/8 daily, but this past week I did a 36 hr fast and I feel great. I'm thinking about doing it weekly for a month or so, but changing up the days. Thanks for all the great information.
You are on the right path. I started doing 40 hour fasts 8 months ago to further OMAD, and I'm telling you I'm a better version of myself in every single way after every one of these fasts. In this life, the greatest rewards are reserved for those willing to take the greatest risks. Your doing it! A few of these and you will be reborn.
I started 2024 with lifestyle changes. - So far this has included a 24 hour fast. -- today i'm going for a 36 hour fast to see what the impact on my weight will be. -- the main benefit from the one fast I did, - It has been easy to go into intermittent fasting, I have lost cravings for a lot of food including takeaways. I made the decision to change my lifestyle after becoming very stressed and anxious as well as being obese since 2020- a few walks cured that mental state -- i'm still struggling with sleep.. so that's next on my to do list!
I’m still trying to gather my fasting lifestyle together. I realized this year that my body LOVES fasting. When I look and feel bloated, nothing helps except a total fast. I have digestive issues as well, and it really assists with that. I’m a teacher, so over the summer holiday, I did some complete fasting (7 days water fast, 5 days dry fast). I felt great. I am currently on school winter holiday so doing a 72-hour fast before Christmas. In the New Year, I would like my fasting schedule to be alternate day fasting, with a 48-hour fast weekly or every 2 weeks. I personally don’t need to eat every day, because my body still has fuel left over from the previous day, and even a 24-hour fast helps me feel fantastic. Thanks for the video.
Your video is the best I have seen on fasting. I have been fasting for one 34 hour period each week for the past 2 years. It has become a habit and I feel very good.
As of now I’m at 24h & 54m. I started fasting on Wednesday 12/29 at 9pm and I want to continue through Monday morning at 8am (107hrs.) watching videos like this kept to keep me motivated. The reason for my fast is because I want to “reset “ my body for the new year. I’ve been suffering from borderline anemia, sinusitis, lethargy, and lack of energy. I hope that this fast will lead me in the right direction. 💪🏽
I'm not fasting on a daily basis like I did to lose all my weight, 16:8 & 20:4. Now I mostly do extended fasting weekly, monthly, quarterly. I have seen as we get older the extended fast help us more, I'm 56. Thanks for a great video on all the benefits and timing! 🥰
Im Currently doing alternate day fasting combined with my keto lifestyle on my eat days... today was day 23 and im down about 8 lbs that seems a little slow considering a still have about 40 pounds to lose but im sticking with it ! Overall im down 43 lbs from my heaviest weight and its all thanks to keto and fasting
I wouldn’t want to lose any faster than that. It gives time for skin and body to adapt. When you think how long it takes to put on, it’s pretty fast still at coming off. I see your comment was a year ago, how did you get on in the end?
Real testimony: I didn’t eat for a week (Sunday to Sunday, 168 hours), just water. I lost 9 pounds. By day five I had bradycardia and I felt very weak. The worst part came after I finished the fasting. My parotids got swollen due to lack of saliva flow during the fasting. It took me almost five days to recover from that painful condition. Would I repeat it? Nope. But now I know the sweet spot for extended fasting is 72 hours. I'm doing it every three months.
I do a bulletproof coffee at 10am eat 1 meal at 730pm and drink nothing but water. Been repeating this every day for weeks to reverse insulin resistance. Great results so far
Fasted 83 hours! I drank black coffee with Splenda during the fast and that helped me not get headaches or cramping. On Morning of day 3 I was feeling very weak but I pushed through, by God’s grace! It definitely gives you an appreciation for food !
Thank you Kait. The video is short, very clear detailed explanation. I did all different IF cycles, 16/8, 18/6, OMAD, rotated. Recently I stopped for awhile because I am getting too thin, 18 BMI . I have to agree fasting provided fast results if it combine with good diet and fitness activities. My arthritis improved significantly, skin smoother no need make up and face cream, hair became thicker growing faster and shiny. My apnea stopped . Entire body is tone and lean. Just love it. I look now perfect in jeans and bikini. Just let you know, I am 69 years old. Exercise daily all my life, eat healthy and intermittent fasting the past 6 months. Happy New Year ❣️
I started with 16:8 (for one day), then went to 18:6 for 5 days. Took two days off and now I’m on 20:4. I did one 24 hour fast this week and one 22 hour fast. I’m playing with it a lot, and only fast Monday-Friday. So far I have lost 6lbs. I finally feel like I found something that works for weight loss. 🙌 I will make this a lifestyle. I feel amazing and I’m losing weight. Win win. For reference, I’m 5’7 and my starting weight was 154lbs. I don’t eat fast food or anything fried and I don’t drink soda. Other than that, I eat whatever I want during my eating window. I’ll incorporate exercise next week and hopefully see more results.
I've been intermittent fasting since 2020. I have lost 40 pounds and stopped taking metformin. My blood sugar is almost completely normal. I have seen some interesting reverse aging effects, as well. I don't do full keto, but order fruit instead of bread, avoid processed sugar, and never drink calories. I normally don't eat breakfast, and will typically eat either lunch and dinner, or just one. I have noticed that it's important for me to have at least one day a week when I eat a lot, otherwise my metabolism slows down and defeats the whole purpose. I also try to do an extended fast at least once a year; I'm currently about 42 hours in, and seeing if I can go a full three days.
Currently doing fast 36ish followed by 24ish and then repeating - I did once manage 54 but not recently - I trying to reverse insulin resistance - great video thank you
Maybe it's because you're fasting too much, and your metabolism is starting to slow down to keep balance. For weight loss you should probably not reduce your calories and fast occasionally but strong.
@@SimplyMichelleTV honestly, I don't know. I cannot be a slave to the scale because it is depressing, to me. I am doing PMSF M-F. I started this last week and I can tell the difference. So boring and sometimes I feel sorry for myself. I truly eat to live.
@@marlaenahorn1072 You don't want to be a slave to the scale. OK. So, how do you know it's SLOW? Maybe you're losing visceral fat and don't know it, maybe you lost more pounds than you think. It might not be that slow even if you lose 5 lb. a week. If you weigh yourself just once a week, at least you'd know the weight is going down.
Thanks for this. I have been doing I.F. and Prolonged fasts for the past couple of years. I love how clear this was, so I can share it with my friends who are newbies to it, and don't believe it works or just don't see too many benefits.... But does!
I am 47 hours into an extended fast. I'm drinking water, I've had 1 coffee with a splash of oat milk, I'm drinking reboundfx from youngevity for my electrolytes, and feeling great. I intend to end my fast Thursday evening. Love your video and personality. Thank you 😊
Twice a year I do a 7 day water fast (Holy Week of Lent and sometime in Oct/Nov). Otherwise I do 18:6 IM and some 48/72 hour fasts during the year. Cancer lives on sugar and I am working hard to prevent the return of the Hodgkin's Lymphoma (diagnosed in 2001). Currently at around 50 hours on my current 72 hour fast. For those getting started, I find that once you're comfortable with IM in the 18:6 or 20:4 range, it's not too hard to go 36 or 48 hours. Once you've done that a couple times, longer fasts don't seem so daunting. Nothing breeds confidence like success so rack up some early wins to prepare for the bigger challenges.
Thanks, I find it difficult to fast. Will start with 18,6 and then 20,4 and further. Do we have absolutely nothing during fast period or are some things allowed to make it easier for beginners?
One thing I found that helped when I was starting was to greatly restrict or remove sugars and carbs a couple days before starting a fast. This seemed to make the transition to not eating easier (probably due to being in light ketosis). I also used to drink diet soda (which I've since cut out completely) during a fast. Coffee is fine (no creams or sugar) and a spritz of lemon or lime in water helps some people. Like everything, you're good at what you practice, so if you keep at it, I think you'll find it gets easier over time. Good luck! Also, if you have any health issues, it would be good to consult with a health professional (which I am NOT) before doing any sort of extended fasting.
I’m 39 hours into my 48 hour fast. This is my first time fasting longer than 20 hours, and I am surprised that I don’t feel hungry at all. I’m craving food but I don’t physically feel that my body needs it, no stomach growling or fatigue. I feel like I could easily go for 3 days but I’m going to take it slowly for my first time.
When I started on the Keto diet I also started intermediate fasting. I was losing weight so quickly that I stopped the fasting.😁 I will return to it though as I want to get my insulin doses down to zero.
I started intermittent fasting in January. I am doing custom where I switch up between 12 and 24 hours. I'm also working on throwing in extended fasts. 39 hours being my longest so far. I've recently started doing keto, but on certain weeks, more like carb cycling. I'm working my way up to be able to do a 3 day fast. I drink a lot of herbal teas during those times to still get micronutrients and to stay hydrated. I'm a bit insulin resistant so I am working to become insulin sensitive again.
I've started carnivore for over 2 weeks now and regarding meal time, I'm fluctuating between OMAD and two meals a day (lunch & dinner) because some days I work out quite hard and I don't want to lose the hard-earned muscle mass by not eating enough protein. About last month I suspected myself being insulin resistant due to signs like skin tags on the neck, puffy eyes, and frequent urination at night, so I set a goal to be more mindful with my diet. Fortunately I had been doing IF by skipping breakfast and eating low carb, high-protein, high-fiber for almost 2 years so switching to carnivore is not too difficult except the part where I can eat all the animal fat I want. That takes some getting used to but so far I'm doing fine. My longest iF was about 30 hrs, during which I felt great. I only had to break it because I was cooking for my mom and had to taste the food, so I felt like I might just as well have a meal right then. Will be sticking to this current pattern of eating for months to come since I've seen so many benefits with my overall health and physique.
I have fasted on and off for years but lately I have been doing 16/8 regularly but went to 17 yesterday. Going to gradually increase especially over the weekends.
I started intermittent fasting back in 2018. In 2020, I attempted to start 24 hour fasts. The longest I've gone is a 72 hour fast. Currently, I average out a 24 or 48 hour fast once a month. However, I am attempting a 7 day fast this week (it is recommended to do a prolonged fast 5-20 days at least once a year). On day 2, wish me luck!
I really enjoy your videos. You should write a book. I'm 72 year old male, have metabolic syndrome and have been intermitten fasting for about 2 weeks now and have already began to feel different and notice my clothes are fitting looser. First weigh in is tomorrow 4/29/2024. Mine is 20/4 hrs and the reason I do 20/4 is I hate to go bed with full stomach so my last meal is around 4 pm and it has time to leave my stomach which help me sleep better. No indigestion, no heartburn or reflux. Just sleep. About to attempt an extended fast. Thank you again
I have done intermittent fasting since i was a teen but back then i didnt know it was a thing. Now as an adult i started to do fasting again and it was hard at first but as time went on it has gotten easier, i am glad i do intermittent fasting nowadays for my health but my goal is to switch from doing 16/8 fasting to 18/6 fasting on a regular basis. Wish me luck
I have started fasting every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday till around 2pm. So I do 62 hour fast. I have done this for the last 4 weeks and have lost nearly 10kg. My last meal is on Monday at 10pm. and my first meal after the fast is on Thursday at 2pm.
When I do alternate day fasting it seems that I require less sleep and the quality of my sleep seems better. Just me ? Anyway another excellent video miss Kate
Just today I experienced my first 16 hour fast. during the 12th hour I was already feeling hungry but as I kept drinking water the hunger went away after an hour and I felt fine. :)
Usually I do a noon to 5 eat window, but today I've decided to do a long one. Probably 41 hours...the trigger was eating Halloween candy. I just felt so crappy, I've gained a really insidious 15lbs...and now at the age where it's important to think atophagy...Thanks for the incite full video
Completed my first 72 hours fast and feel amazing! The last 6 hours I did start developing a headache but think this was due to lack of electrolytes. I am planning to do another 72 hour fast this coming weekend but this time make sure I get my electrolytes in as well.
I'm currently about 42 hours into a fast on my way to 48. I have been doing 5:2 fasting for the past month or so with good results, but I want to speed up my weight loss so I am extending the fast to 48 hours 2 times a week instead of 36. We'll see how it goes.
Thank you for this video. Doctors over the years have told me there is no cure for type 2 diabetes. I have been intermittent fasting for the last couple of years. Thanks to this video I now have a better plan on how I will continue my intermittent fasting practices. Like and a thumbs up. Bill from Edmonton.
I've been doing fasting for the best part of 5 years and this is a very good video 👍🏼 I would say though that if you're going to go beyond 24 hours you'll need to top up on electrolytes (powder or capsules ) otherwise you'll likely start to feel a bit dizzy. Also, when it comes to breaking an extended fast, eat something small then after 45-60 mins go for a larger meal if you want one. I've made the mistake of having a big meal to break a 36 hour fast and it was very uncomfortable 😆
I just did a 44 hour fast and I broke it with a pound of grass fed beef 85/15 cooked in a half stick of butter, a whole jar of spicy kimchi, a small bowl of mashed potatoes and 4 pieces of sourdough bread with salted irish butter. Later for dessert I had a pound of frozen cherries. But yes on my first extended fast I puked because I ate too quickly.
Thank you Coach Kait. I started 18/6 compressed eating and low carbs/zero sugar a week ago. Lost 10 lbs from waist and lowered BP from 144/80 to 121/68, Doing a 48 hour water fast right now, added only some sea salt, magnesium, and potassium to the water.
I fasted for 28 days and felt fantastic. I went to the doctor to check I was ok and had a pizza That was years ago, now I fast weekly, just finishing 56 hours fast
I just did a 48 hour fast 3 days ago. Want to do 72 hours to fix my insulin sensitivity, but that is when it is the most difficult time. It takes a lot of planning for busy people because the tough time which comes on the 2nd and 3rd day will affect your work negatively. I could not finish what I wanted to do and I had to lie down several times after my 40th hour.
Bro, what are the results? Did you continue doing that? I am also insulin resistant with busy work schedule. I want to try fasting, tell me if your insulin resistance go away?
Kait you look so amazing since your "breakup" video.. It looks like youve matured and gained a newfound independence.. There is nothing wrong with being alone.. Embrace it! Its Freedom ! :)
Thanks for the vid, first I've seen your channel. I'm familiar with extended fasts, but was looking for a timeline of the benefits because I couldn't remember. As I type this I'm 3 minutes from 72 hours and will continue oug to at least 140/8 days. I find I always lose all hunger and feel best from 72 on. My vision also gets noticeably sharper and I have tons of energy
Nice video Kait. I would love to know what resources/references you're using to get the general "what happens when" breakdown, as this has been hard for me to find. I believe fasting has incredible health benefits, but I don't believe we know when they occur to such a detail past the 24-hr (or so) mark. Can you share those references in the description?
Ok I get what you're saying but I do not necessarily agree when you say longer fasts do not always equal better. That GREATLY depends on how overweight you are and how long it will take you to reverse insulin resistance. It may take several extended fasts, maybe for months or a year to create a new baseline especially since I have been more than 100 lbs overweight and suffering from IR for years. Anytime I eat even very strict OMAD Carnivore or Keto, my glucose goes up 20 to 35 points and stays there for 24 hours. The only time I am in the 75 to 90 range glucose with high ketones and normal blood pressure around 125/80 is when I have been on a 4 or more-day water fast. ANYTHING I eat spikes and takes a while to come back down. IR has not reversed so I am doing a 5,day on, off 2, then10 day on fast, off 2, then15 day fast, this for March. I will do a 30 day coming up on the 10th and see if I can get my weight down to 215, still 50 lbs overweight, but I have to turn this around now, this year. This may not be enough and If not then I have to do a 60 during the summer. I have varicose veins and had a foot turning purple when I started. After 8 months on KETO I lost maybe 40 lbs and my foot has return to almost normal but the liver issue remains as noted with the veins, cracked heels, itching, inflammation and other signs. The veggies have to go for sure and Carnivore is where I will be when I come off these fasts from now on. Veggies have high levels of toxicity in them that the plants themselves produce, then there is the glyphosate even on organics so goodbye to KETO. Just about any food gives me inflammation, but fasting long term takes all of this away. So for some of us, long term fasting is the only option.
I do ADF, I was doing 47:1 without exercise. Lost 25 pounds. Now I’m doing 36:12 with 2-3 meals . I miss my 48 hour fast so I’m wondering if it would be beneficial to incorporate one 48 a week.
I do 36 hours once a week for years now, recently adding 48 once a month and 72 once a quarter, taking electrolytes for the two longer fasts. Seems to agree with me. No dramatic weight loss but I brought a prediabetiic fasting glucose number down into the normal range. Wondering if 48 hours every 2 weeks would be more bang for the buck than 36 every week.
I generally do 16/8, 24 hours on Wednesday, then after my last meal on Saturday I fast 40 hours until my first meal on Monday. I fast for health benefits and not weight loss because I don't need to lose more weight and have maintained my weight loss for 8 months now. Keto is now my lifestyle and I'm on cruise control and have not cheated (I hate that word because it seems judgmental since I started nearly a year ago.
Yo now I want to get the extended benefits she mentioned! I’m used to the 18/6, eating between 8am & 2pm-but pushing longer than that can make me feel not hungry but dizzy/weak/kinda sick. So I just don’t get how ppl can fast that long, is it working ur way up by adding an hr each day, or is extended fasting just better for ppl of some demographics over others?
Recently I started a weekly 120 hour rolling fast. I start fasting Sunday afternoon and fast until Friday afternoon, then eat one meal each day on the weekends and start all over again Sunday.
I just bought a scale (after 2 years😬), so I instantly started a water fast. I've already lost 4 pounds in 48 hours. I'll water fast until I lose 5 pounds. I'll eat OMAD 1-2 hours, and then I'll start my next water fast the next morning and then go until I drop 5 more pounds. I can't believe how great I feel. Today is Thanksgiving and I'm not struggling at all.
Hm I don’t think fasting 5lb at a time is the best approach. Depending on how much water you’re drinking can effect the scale! 1L of water weights 1kg/2.2lb. So you can gain/lose a couple pounds literally in mins by just drinking water. The scale isn’t everything 🙏 so try to not get caught up in the numbers. But it’s great you’re feeling so fantastic!!
I cannot begin to imagine fasting past 16 hours let alone do 72hr fast or more. But I have to admit that I'm crazy curious to see if I can do it. I have to get myself used to doing 16:8 IF first, but great info!
Yikes. Too bad I have a function tomorrow or I’d try for 72 hrs. Would two 36hr fasts equal one 72 hr. fasts? I bet you never got that question. I subscribed to your channel. Thank You.
I started with intermittent fasting 16:8 or 18:6 then progressed to 5:2. This week i discovered "rolling 72's", completed my first one two days ago and currently 35 hours into the second one. I typically only drink water or tea during my fasts however today i experienced dizziness for the first time. I'm interested in electrolytes but i have had very high blood pressure in the past and am currently on medication to control it. Has anyone else taken electrolytes while being treated for high BP and how did it affect your BP?
I did OMAD five days a week for nearly a year, then after overeating a bit over the holidays, I felt like I needed to try something new to continue my progress, and I just decided to push myself to try an overnight fast one day. That first night was tough because I had so much energy and adrenaline at the same time that my hunger hormones were really high because my body was so used to having dinner, but I’ve been doing two 40 hour fasts every week since then (the second week of January this year), with the exception of one week when I only did one 40 hour fast, and I feel good. The toughest thing is going to sleep with the rise of adrenaline and other counter regulatory hormones from not eating for more than 24 hours, and the biggest surprise is that my hunger is completely gone when I wake up the next day. It’s just as if I had dinner the night before.
@@boondoggle4820 Thanks. I wonder what is gained by fasting beyond 24hrs? I am shocked by the sideline benefits of Omad. I discovered another one today that could parallel what you are saying. I donated plasma today after an 11 month break from doing so. I have always had trouble keeping my heart rate at 100 or below (101 or above = no donation). Weight loss, Omad, and improved bloodsugars have decreased my heart rate or at least increased my ability to calm it down. I also was able to ignore the Center's advice to eat a big meal before donating. I hoped the enery and lack of hunger you referenced would aid my self control efforts and it worked.
First, I am a 66yo male. Some months back, I experienced a left rotator cuff injury likely due to using too heavy a dumbbell. For months, using my left-hand to prop myself up from a lying to a standing position was painful; the injury was simply not healing. Recently, I did a 72-hour extended fast followed by a number of 24-hour intermittent fasts and the pain has gone away. I cannot attribute the absence of pain to any other intervention. Also, I crashed through the weight at which I had plateaued for some months, losing 11.8 lbs in one month.
What does your fasting routine look like?
I've tried fasting in the past, but failed as I love my food too much 😬... I just eat sensibly and work out at the gym..
I fast on the 18:6 breakdown with one 36 each week. I am losing inches all around as I don’t weigh myself. I have boundless energy and feel light.
Mark Lynch how long were you trying to go?
Kerisa amazing results so far! 💪
@@HealthCoachKait Every other day, but I kept getting carb cravings even though I eat a high protein diet. I eat 5 small meals a day and it stops me from feeling hungry. I don't eat anything about 5 hours before bed.. I work shifts, so a normal routine is out of the question.
I go to bed sometimes a little hungry, but I don't give in, and fall asleep. Next morning, I'm not hungry until the afternoon. That, is amazing to me.
Same here...

What kind of electrolytes do you take?

How often do you take electrolytes per day. I have been taking a scoop in the morning and doing intermittent fasting Thanks in advance
I have water fasted on and off for 50 years, I have done 3 day 5 day most of the time but 20 years ago I did a 28 day fast that was amazing, all my allergies to pollen, and cats went away and have lasted all these years. I did this with the guidance of a fasting coach, don’t do such a long fast alone. I am 77 and currently on a 5 day fast.
thats great about your allergies, very encouraging! I've just finished a 7 day fast and I feel great.
Goat
Impressive!
Accept Islam
Huge respect for doing 28 days. How often do you fast for 5 days?
Currently, I’ve done 23:1 fasting protocol (one meal a day) for 21 days. I did one 48 hour fast during that time as well. I feel clear, energetic, brain fog and aches and pains in my body are gone. After the first day or two, it became incredibly easy. All cravings disappeared and I hardly think about food and snacks like I used to when I used to eat 3 meals a day + snacks. I’m also exercising about a half hour a day, and feeling stronger all the time. I plan to do this forever!
I didn’t find this as easy as you seem to. So just wondering if you were able to do this all year?
but what do you look like? are you skinny and weak looking?
@@ONEFAITHofJESUSfor me It would be simply Impossible to get all the calories and macros I need to work out in just one sitting.
This type of fasting is not meant to be a daily lifestyle.
How much weight did you loose?
Embrace the feeling of hunger. Don't fear. It will pass. Fine presentation!
What I got rid of by doing keto and fasting.
Reversed my 6.8 diabetic 6.8 to 4.9 took me 5 months to do that. By the time my liver finishes detoxing doctor says I'll be a 4.1 or 4.2.
Also finally got off blood pressure meds. From 213 to 172 now. No inflammation or mucle spasms, no more being fatigued, no more allergies. A new found of burst of energy, I'm 55 yrs old and and look young and feel like I'm 20. It's been amazing what you can accomplish when you set your mind on it. No more meds for me ❤️
How many hours do you fast
Thats amazing, congrats!
Carnivore OMAD, with occasional 48 hour fasting. To date I have lost 70 pounds, am no longer type 2 diabetic, blood pressure is in the normal range, rid myself of my arthritis, my peripheral neuropathy has shown marked improvement, I sleep better, and have noticeably more energy. Also, I am no longer on Metformin, Atorvastatin, and Lisinopril.
Now that's an achievement 😲👍👏
This is great news. How long did you do this for before you reverse type 2?
@@abdulgafur4337 I started this routine last November. Stopped all medications after 6 months. But note that I was very strict with myself. No cheating. None whatsoever! Currently, the weight loss is over 80 pounds. I'm near my target weight now, so I don't expect to lose much more. Especially since I'm increasing muscle mass. I would assume that is due to my increase in activity.
Curious of your age? I'm 62 and about 140 lbs overweight. I'm curious if you know of any other seniors who may have successfully followed your regime?
@@redriverbluesman I'll be 68 next month. I don't know of any other seniors on this plan. Most people I've talked to say that their doctors say that this is extreme. Well, of course it is! I spent years taking meds and only got worse as time went by. To me, it makes sense, but most people I talk to hesitate to use this method. I was hesitant myself when I first started, but my decline was accelerating and I was desperate. Desperate times require desperate measures! I was having trouble getting around, but now I'm active and energetic. I split firewood with an axe, mow my one acre lawn with a push mower, and I'm contemplating running again. It's amazing the things that I don't even consider as food any longer.
Just finished a 20 hour fast. Was going to eat at 16 hours but just waited until I got off from work. Your videos are great. I look forward to them. Thanks
no result if not more than 2 days fast
8/16, have been loosing weight slowly. I'm OK with slow and steady weight loss.
🙏🙏
What's is your time eating/fasting?
I've been enjoying a 23:1 OMAD strategy since July, and threw in a 9-Day starve a month ago to produce Stem Cells in abundance, truly enter and remain in ketosis, give my gut and pancreas a nice holiday, smack any unknown cancer cells about a little, restore a proper level of insulin sensitivity, and cleanse my liver of as many fatty deposits as possible.
Daily drinking lemon-infused water (sometimes with ACV as well) is enough to prevent hunger pangs for me, so long as I keep ahead of them kicking in at about the 8 hour mark until the 12. The rest is just "eyes on the prize" for a leaner, healthier, longer future. If I feel as though I might have a snack or a meal "out of hours", I watch an informative and inspiring presentation such as this to remind me of the benefits I'd be throwing away that day.
I generally do 16/8 daily, but this past week I did a 36 hr fast and I feel great. I'm thinking about doing it weekly for a month or so, but changing up the days. Thanks for all the great information.
Awesome! 🙏
@@HealthCoachKaitGreat video! 👍
You are on the right path. I started doing 40 hour fasts 8 months ago to further OMAD, and I'm telling you I'm a better version of myself in every single way after every one of these fasts. In this life, the greatest rewards are reserved for those willing to take the greatest risks. Your doing it! A few of these and you will be reborn.
I’m on my 12th days of fast. Im targeting 20 days of fast without food. Will be posting my result here after my 20th day of fast. Wish me luck
You mean you on the 20th day without food?
I started 2024 with lifestyle changes. - So far this has included a 24 hour fast. -- today i'm going for a 36 hour fast to see what the impact on my weight will be. -- the main benefit from the one fast I did, - It has been easy to go into intermittent fasting, I have lost cravings for a lot of food including takeaways.
I made the decision to change my lifestyle after becoming very stressed and anxious as well as being obese since 2020- a few walks cured that mental state -- i'm still struggling with sleep.. so that's next on my to do list!
I’m still trying to gather my fasting lifestyle together. I realized this year that my body LOVES fasting. When I look and feel bloated, nothing helps except a total fast. I have digestive issues as well, and it really assists with that. I’m a teacher, so over the summer holiday, I did some complete fasting (7 days water fast, 5 days dry fast). I felt great. I am currently on school winter holiday so doing a 72-hour fast before Christmas.
In the New Year, I would like my fasting schedule to be alternate day fasting, with a 48-hour fast weekly or every 2 weeks. I personally don’t need to eat every day, because my body still has fuel left over from the previous day, and even a 24-hour fast helps me feel fantastic.
Thanks for the video.
Sometimes eating is used to address an emotional issue. I find other ways to self soothe like walking or art
Your video is the best I have seen on fasting. I have been fasting for one 34 hour period each week for the past 2 years.
It has become a habit and I feel very good.
As of now I’m at 24h & 54m. I started fasting on Wednesday 12/29 at 9pm and I want to continue through Monday morning at 8am (107hrs.) watching videos like this kept to keep me motivated. The reason for my fast is because I want to “reset “ my body for the new year. I’ve been suffering from borderline anemia, sinusitis, lethargy, and lack of energy. I hope that this fast will lead me in the right direction. 💪🏽
Any updates? I'm 24hrs in.
What are the results, did you reset yourself?
I'm not fasting on a daily basis like I did to lose all my weight, 16:8 & 20:4. Now I mostly do extended fasting weekly, monthly, quarterly. I have seen as we get older the extended fast help us more, I'm 56.
Thanks for a great video on all the benefits and timing! 🥰
Sounds like you have found a good routine Curt! 👏
Im Currently doing alternate day fasting combined with my keto lifestyle on my eat days... today was day 23 and im down about 8 lbs that seems a little slow considering a still have about 40 pounds to lose but im sticking with it ! Overall im down 43 lbs from my heaviest weight and its all thanks to keto and fasting
I wouldn’t want to lose any faster than that. It gives time for skin and body to adapt. When you think how long it takes to put on, it’s pretty fast still at coming off. I see your comment was a year ago, how did you get on in the end?
Real testimony: I didn’t eat for a week (Sunday to Sunday, 168 hours), just water. I lost 9 pounds. By day five I had bradycardia and I felt very weak. The worst part came after I finished the fasting. My parotids got swollen due to lack of saliva flow during the fasting. It took me almost five days to recover from that painful condition. Would I repeat it? Nope. But now I know the sweet spot for extended fasting is 72 hours. I'm doing it every three months.
You need electrolytes too or a homemade vegetable broth. Black coffee and green tea is a good idea too.
Did you see a doctor about the fasting? Best to see a professional.
Do not ever fast that long without doctor supervision, and electrolytes and minerals included.
Tough.
I do a bulletproof coffee at 10am eat 1 meal at 730pm and drink nothing but water. Been repeating this every day for weeks to reverse insulin resistance. Great results so far
Have you been tracking your insulin?
cocoa is better than coffee
@@waffle_chair9269nice profile photo 👍👍
Fasted 83 hours! I drank black coffee with Splenda during the fast and that helped me not get headaches or cramping. On Morning of day 3 I was feeling very weak but I pushed through, by God’s grace! It definitely gives you an appreciation for food !
I do OMAD daily, and just finished a 48 hour fast. My first one, and it went by great
Thank you Kait. The video is short, very clear detailed explanation. I did all different IF cycles, 16/8, 18/6, OMAD, rotated. Recently I stopped for awhile because I am getting too thin, 18 BMI . I have to agree fasting provided fast results if it combine with good diet and fitness activities. My arthritis improved significantly, skin smoother no need make up and face cream, hair became thicker growing faster and shiny. My apnea stopped . Entire body is tone and lean. Just love it. I look now perfect in jeans and bikini. Just let you know, I am 69 years old. Exercise daily all my life, eat healthy and intermittent fasting the past 6 months.
Happy New Year ❣️
Awesome to hear! Happy New Year Mary! 🥰
I started with 16:8 (for one day), then went to 18:6 for 5 days. Took two days off and now I’m on 20:4. I did one 24 hour fast this week and one 22 hour fast. I’m playing with it a lot, and only fast Monday-Friday. So far I have lost 6lbs.
I finally feel like I found something that works for weight loss. 🙌 I will make this a lifestyle. I feel amazing and I’m losing weight. Win win.
For reference, I’m 5’7 and my starting weight was 154lbs. I don’t eat fast food or anything fried and I don’t drink soda. Other than that, I eat whatever I want during my eating window. I’ll incorporate exercise next week and hopefully see more results.
I've been intermittent fasting since 2020. I have lost 40 pounds and stopped taking metformin. My blood sugar is almost completely normal. I have seen some interesting reverse aging effects, as well. I don't do full keto, but order fruit instead of bread, avoid processed sugar, and never drink calories. I normally don't eat breakfast, and will typically eat either lunch and dinner, or just one. I have noticed that it's important for me to have at least one day a week when I eat a lot, otherwise my metabolism slows down and defeats the whole purpose. I also try to do an extended fast at least once a year; I'm currently about 42 hours in, and seeing if I can go a full three days.
I like doing 18-22 hours a day. 21-22 is the main time I stop. I love it
👍👍
Currently doing fast 36ish followed by 24ish and then repeating - I did once manage 54 but not recently - I trying to reverse insulin resistance - great video thank you
Hey, Is your insulin reversed?
I, generally, do 23:1 OMAD with one 48 hour fast per week. My weight loss is SLOW but losing.
Maybe it's because you're fasting too much, and your metabolism is starting to slow down to keep balance. For weight loss you should probably not reduce your calories and fast occasionally but strong.
5 meals a week...how much are you losing weekly?
@@SimplyMichelleTV honestly, I don't know. I cannot be a slave to the scale because it is depressing, to me. I am doing PMSF M-F. I started this last week and I can tell the difference. So boring and sometimes I feel sorry for myself. I truly eat to live.
@@marlaenahorn1072 You don't want to be a slave to the scale. OK. So, how do you know it's SLOW? Maybe you're losing visceral fat and don't know it, maybe you lost more pounds than you think. It might not be that slow even if you lose 5 lb. a week. If you weigh yourself just once a week, at least you'd know the weight is going down.
Thanks for this. I have been doing I.F. and Prolonged fasts for the past couple of years. I love how clear this was, so I can share it with my friends who are newbies to it, and don't believe it works or just don't see too many benefits....
But does!
❤️❤️
My favourite fasts are 24 hours and 48 hours. If you're going 36 hours, you might as well go for 48, since you've already done the hardest part.
Totally agree
At the 40-hour mark, I start hurting a lot. Breaking the fast sucks at that point to. So 36 seems to be my limit.
LOVE you music at the beginning that's how i know i am on your channel when i am not watching the screen
I am 47 hours into an extended fast. I'm drinking water, I've had 1 coffee with a splash of oat milk, I'm drinking reboundfx from youngevity for my electrolytes, and feeling great. I intend to end my fast Thursday evening.
Love your video and personality. Thank you 😊
Twice a year I do a 7 day water fast (Holy Week of Lent and sometime in Oct/Nov). Otherwise I do 18:6 IM and some 48/72 hour fasts during the year. Cancer lives on sugar and I am working hard to prevent the return of the Hodgkin's Lymphoma (diagnosed in 2001). Currently at around 50 hours on my current 72 hour fast.
For those getting started, I find that once you're comfortable with IM in the 18:6 or 20:4 range, it's not too hard to go 36 or 48 hours. Once you've done that a couple times, longer fasts don't seem so daunting. Nothing breeds confidence like success so rack up some early wins to prepare for the bigger challenges.
Thanks, I find it difficult to fast. Will start with 18,6 and then 20,4 and further. Do we have absolutely nothing during fast period or are some things allowed to make it easier for beginners?
One thing I found that helped when I was starting was to greatly restrict or remove sugars and carbs a couple days before starting a fast. This seemed to make the transition to not eating easier (probably due to being in light ketosis). I also used to drink diet soda (which I've since cut out completely) during a fast. Coffee is fine (no creams or sugar) and a spritz of lemon or lime in water helps some people. Like everything, you're good at what you practice, so if you keep at it, I think you'll find it gets easier over time. Good luck! Also, if you have any health issues, it would be good to consult with a health professional (which I am NOT) before doing any sort of extended fasting.
22 hours a day dry fasting/OMAD. 2 hours refeeding and re hydrating 🙏
Jace_Yeah, what’s OMAD?
@@MetallicParagraph One Meal A Day
Somehow TH-cam knows I'm finishing up a 3 day fast and recommended this.
Must be all the food videos I'm watching 😅
It’s weird. I do that on my fasts. For some reason, I love watching food videos… it doesn’t trigger me, weird
I’m 39 hours into my 48 hour fast. This is my first time fasting longer than 20 hours, and I am surprised that I don’t feel hungry at all. I’m craving food but I don’t physically feel that my body needs it, no stomach growling or fatigue. I feel like I could easily go for 3 days but I’m going to take it slowly for my first time.
🙌🙌
th-cam.com/video/57PVWZA1EVs/w-d-xo.html
When I started on the Keto diet I also started intermediate fasting.
I was losing weight so quickly that I stopped the fasting.😁
I will return to it though as I want to get my insulin doses down to zero.
I started intermittent fasting in January. I am doing custom where I switch up between 12 and 24 hours. I'm also working on throwing in extended fasts. 39 hours being my longest so far. I've recently started doing keto, but on certain weeks, more like carb cycling. I'm working my way up to be able to do a 3 day fast. I drink a lot of herbal teas during those times to still get micronutrients and to stay hydrated. I'm a bit insulin resistant so I am working to become insulin sensitive again.
I've started carnivore for over 2 weeks now and regarding meal time, I'm fluctuating between OMAD and two meals a day (lunch & dinner) because some days I work out quite hard and I don't want to lose the hard-earned muscle mass by not eating enough protein. About last month I suspected myself being insulin resistant due to signs like skin tags on the neck, puffy eyes, and frequent urination at night, so I set a goal to be more mindful with my diet. Fortunately I had been doing IF by skipping breakfast and eating low carb, high-protein, high-fiber for almost 2 years so switching to carnivore is not too difficult except the part where I can eat all the animal fat I want. That takes some getting used to but so far I'm doing fine. My longest iF was about 30 hrs, during which I felt great. I only had to break it because I was cooking for my mom and had to taste the food, so I felt like I might just as well have a meal right then. Will be sticking to this current pattern of eating for months to come since I've seen so many benefits with my overall health and physique.
Best fasting video I have seen
Great video. Just did a 60 hour fast. Feel fine. 60 hours is my max. Usually do 24-44 hours. ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
I’ve been intermittent fasting for years I usually go 16-20 Hours! This does wonders, but I never extended fast. The longest I went is 24.
I sleep 12hr a day often and am very strong. Sleep is amazing.
I have fasted on and off for years but lately I have been doing 16/8 regularly but went to 17 yesterday. Going to gradually increase especially over the weekends.
I started intermittent fasting back in 2018. In 2020, I attempted to start 24 hour fasts. The longest I've gone is a 72 hour fast. Currently, I average out a 24 or 48 hour fast once a month. However, I am attempting a 7 day fast this week (it is recommended to do a prolonged fast 5-20 days at least once a year). On day 2, wish me luck!
How did the 7 day fast go for you?
I’m curious too.
I went 30 days once it was easy just make sure to take electrolytes
@@Mauitaoistcould u elaborate on the electrolyte u used?
Hey, just if you know, after fasting, are you insulin resistant or no?
I really enjoy your videos. You should write a book. I'm 72 year old male, have metabolic syndrome and have been intermitten fasting for about 2 weeks now and have already began to feel different and notice my clothes are fitting looser. First weigh in is tomorrow 4/29/2024. Mine is 20/4 hrs and the reason I do 20/4 is I hate to go bed with full stomach so my last meal is around 4 pm and it has time to leave my stomach which help me sleep better. No indigestion, no heartburn or reflux. Just sleep. About to attempt an extended fast. Thank you again
I have done intermittent fasting since i was a teen but back then i didnt know it was a thing. Now as an adult i started to do fasting again and it was hard at first but as time went on it has gotten easier, i am glad i do intermittent fasting nowadays for my health but my goal is to switch from doing 16/8 fasting to 18/6 fasting on a regular basis. Wish me luck
Excellent video on the benefits of fasting. IF has been a lifestyle change that has produced amazing results for me!
I have started fasting every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday till around 2pm. So I do 62 hour fast. I have done this for the last 4 weeks and have lost nearly 10kg. My last meal is on Monday at 10pm. and my first meal after the fast is on Thursday at 2pm.
So what have you gain? or cured
When I do alternate day fasting it seems that I require less sleep and the quality of my sleep seems better. Just me ? Anyway another excellent video miss Kate
Just finished my 23 hour fast just had steak and duck with some avocado 🥑🥩👍👍
😍😍
@Ozlem's Kitchen I’ve been doing it for about a year I’ve lost 2 1/5
@Ozlem's Kitchen yes I do it for Weight loss I’m not too sure if I could do a dry fast what is the recommended time to do one 24 hours or more thx
@Ozlem's Kitchen Thanks I’ll give it a go 👍👍
Just today I experienced my first 16 hour fast. during the 12th hour I was already feeling hungry but as I kept drinking water the hunger went away after an hour and I felt fine. :)
Usually I do a noon to 5 eat window, but today I've decided to do a long one. Probably 41 hours...the trigger was eating Halloween candy. I just felt so crappy, I've gained a really insidious 15lbs...and now at the age where it's important to think atophagy...Thanks for the incite full video
Completed my first 72 hours fast and feel amazing! The last 6 hours I did start developing a headache but think this was due to lack of electrolytes. I am planning to do another 72 hour fast this coming weekend but this time make sure I get my electrolytes in as well.
I'm currently about 42 hours into a fast on my way to 48. I have been doing 5:2 fasting for the past month or so with good results, but I want to speed up my weight loss so I am extending the fast to 48 hours 2 times a week instead of 36. We'll see how it goes.
super insightful and perfectly explained - thank you ! - subbed
Just did my first ever 20 hour fasting today
Thank you, the video is full of information. Well done.
I’m 6’2” tall 220lbs very muscular… roughly 10% body fat! I’m doing my first fast for 60 hours and I’m loving it!
Thank you for this video. Doctors over the years have told me there is no cure for type 2 diabetes. I have been intermittent fasting for the last couple of years. Thanks to this video I now have a better plan on how I will continue my intermittent fasting practices. Like and a thumbs up. Bill from Edmonton.
I've been doing fasting for the best part of 5 years and this is a very good video 👍🏼 I would say though that if you're going to go beyond 24 hours you'll need to top up on electrolytes (powder or capsules ) otherwise you'll likely start to feel a bit dizzy.
Also, when it comes to breaking an extended fast, eat something small then after 45-60 mins go for a larger meal if you want one. I've made the mistake of having a big meal to break a 36 hour fast and it was very uncomfortable 😆
I just did a 44 hour fast and I broke it with a pound of grass fed beef 85/15 cooked in a half stick of butter, a whole jar of spicy kimchi, a small bowl of mashed potatoes and 4 pieces of sourdough bread with salted irish butter. Later for dessert I had a pound of frozen cherries.
But yes on my first extended fast I puked because I ate too quickly.
Much Appreciation and Gratitude for the information 🙏 ✨️
I very much appreciated this explanation. Most excellent.❤
Wow, Excellent, efficient overview. Thank you. Been on 16/8 but adding one 24 hr on tuesdays.
I just completed 24 hours today, it was just water fast , so easy , I did not feel hungry at all
I’m at hour 26. Wanted to do 72 but I’m caving at this moment ordering Grubhub
Thank you Coach Kait. I started 18/6 compressed eating and low carbs/zero sugar a week ago. Lost 10 lbs from waist and lowered BP from 144/80 to 121/68, Doing a 48 hour water fast right now, added only some sea salt, magnesium, and potassium to the water.
I’ve always gotten great results from extended fasting.
👏👏
No kidding?
I fasted for 28 days and felt fantastic. I went to the doctor to check I was ok and had a pizza
That was years ago, now I fast weekly, just finishing 56 hours fast
I just did a 48 hour fast 3 days ago. Want to do 72 hours to fix my insulin sensitivity, but that is when it is the most difficult time. It takes a lot of planning for busy people because the tough time which comes on the 2nd and 3rd day will affect your work negatively. I could not finish what I wanted to do and I had to lie down several times after my 40th hour.
Bro, what are the results? Did you continue doing that?
I am also insulin resistant with busy work schedule. I want to try fasting, tell me if your insulin resistance go away?
Another great video on fasting and the metamorphism that takes place. Thanks Kait
Kait you look so amazing since your "breakup" video.. It looks like youve matured and gained a newfound independence.. There is nothing wrong with being alone.. Embrace it! Its Freedom ! :)
Thanks for the vid, first I've seen your channel. I'm familiar with extended fasts, but was looking for a timeline of the benefits because I couldn't remember. As I type this I'm 3 minutes from 72 hours and will continue oug to at least 140/8 days. I find I always lose all hunger and feel best from 72 on. My vision also gets noticeably sharper and I have tons of energy
Nice video Kait. I would love to know what resources/references you're using to get the general "what happens when" breakdown, as this has been hard for me to find. I believe fasting has incredible health benefits, but I don't believe we know when they occur to such a detail past the 24-hr (or so) mark. Can you share those references in the description?
Dr. Jason Fung shares lots of research data on his TH-cam channel.
I love doing ADF, and also a monthly extended fast of 72+ hours. Thanks for the video and content.
Ok I get what you're saying but I do not necessarily agree when you say longer fasts do not always equal better. That GREATLY depends on how overweight you are and how long it will take you to reverse insulin resistance. It may take several extended fasts, maybe for months or a year to create a new baseline especially since I have been more than 100 lbs overweight and suffering from IR for years. Anytime I eat even very strict OMAD Carnivore or Keto, my glucose goes up 20 to 35 points and stays there for 24 hours. The only time I am in the 75 to 90 range glucose with high ketones and normal blood pressure around 125/80 is when I have been on a 4 or more-day water fast. ANYTHING I eat spikes and takes a while to come back down. IR has not reversed so I am doing a 5,day on, off 2, then10 day on fast, off 2, then15 day fast, this for March. I will do a 30 day coming up on the 10th and see if I can get my weight down to 215, still 50 lbs overweight, but I have to turn this around now, this year. This may not be enough and If not then I have to do a 60 during the summer. I have varicose veins and had a foot turning purple when I started. After 8 months on KETO I lost maybe 40 lbs and my foot has return to almost normal but the liver issue remains as noted with the veins, cracked heels, itching, inflammation and other signs. The veggies have to go for sure and Carnivore is where I will be when I come off these fasts from now on. Veggies have high levels of toxicity in them that the plants themselves produce, then there is the glyphosate even on organics so goodbye to KETO. Just about any food gives me inflammation, but fasting long term takes all of this away. So for some of us, long term fasting is the only option.
I do ADF, I was doing 47:1 without exercise. Lost 25 pounds. Now I’m doing 36:12 with 2-3 meals . I miss my 48 hour fast so I’m wondering if it would be beneficial to incorporate one 48 a week.
I do 36 hours once a week for years now, recently adding 48 once a month and 72 once a quarter, taking electrolytes for the two longer fasts. Seems to agree with me. No dramatic weight loss but I brought a prediabetiic fasting glucose number down into the normal range.
Wondering if 48 hours every 2 weeks would be more bang for the buck than 36 every week.
I’m 67 - been doing 16:8 fasting for 8 years - just had my bloodwork done ✅
I generally do 16/8, 24 hours on Wednesday, then after my last meal on Saturday I fast 40 hours until my first meal on Monday. I fast for health benefits and not weight loss because I don't need to lose more weight and have maintained my weight loss for 8 months now. Keto is now my lifestyle and I'm on cruise control and have not cheated (I hate that word because it seems judgmental since I started nearly a year ago.
Thank you coach for the great video 😊
21/4 seven days a week👍👍 love how it make me feel ✌️
Yo now I want to get the extended benefits she mentioned! I’m used to the 18/6, eating between 8am & 2pm-but pushing longer than that can make me feel not hungry but dizzy/weak/kinda sick. So I just don’t get how ppl can fast that long, is it working ur way up by adding an hr each day, or is extended fasting just better for ppl of some demographics over others?
Recently I started a weekly 120 hour rolling fast. I start fasting Sunday afternoon and fast until Friday afternoon, then eat one meal each day on the weekends and start all over again Sunday.
Portion control is part of the equation.
I just bought a scale (after 2 years😬), so I instantly started a water fast. I've already lost 4 pounds in 48 hours. I'll water fast until I lose 5 pounds. I'll eat OMAD 1-2 hours, and then I'll start my next water fast the next morning and then go until I drop 5 more pounds. I can't believe how great I feel. Today is Thanksgiving and I'm not struggling at all.
Hm I don’t think fasting 5lb at a time is the best approach. Depending on how much water you’re drinking can effect the scale! 1L of water weights 1kg/2.2lb. So you can gain/lose a couple pounds literally in mins by just drinking water. The scale isn’t everything 🙏 so try to not get caught up in the numbers.
But it’s great you’re feeling so fantastic!!
I cannot begin to imagine fasting past 16 hours let alone do 72hr fast or more. But I have to admit that I'm crazy curious to see if I can do it. I have to get myself used to doing 16:8 IF first, but great info!
You have the right attitude. If you work up to it, it becomes strangely easier.
@@Trex100 Indeed. I eventually got up to 48hr fast. Will plan for, maybe, 3 a year.

Yikes. Too bad I have a function tomorrow or I’d try for 72 hrs. Would two 36hr fasts equal one 72 hr. fasts? I bet you never got that question. I subscribed to your channel. Thank You.
I started with intermittent fasting 16:8 or 18:6 then progressed to 5:2. This week i discovered "rolling 72's", completed my first one two days ago and currently 35 hours into the second one. I typically only drink water or tea during my fasts however today i experienced dizziness for the first time. I'm interested in electrolytes but i have had very high blood pressure in the past and am currently on medication to control it. Has anyone else taken electrolytes while being treated for high BP and how did it affect your BP?
Awesome video. Thank you very much!
What a great video! Thank you!
Very usful info. I'm still using OMAD. I have wanted to extend past 24 hours, but have not been able to yet.
If OMAD is working for you, then stick with that 🙂
I did OMAD five days a week for nearly a year, then after overeating a bit over the holidays, I felt like I needed to try something new to continue my progress, and I just decided to push myself to try an overnight fast one day. That first night was tough because I had so much energy and adrenaline at the same time that my hunger hormones were really high because my body was so used to having dinner, but I’ve been doing two 40 hour fasts every week since then (the second week of January this year), with the exception of one week when I only did one 40 hour fast, and I feel good. The toughest thing is going to sleep with the rise of adrenaline and other counter regulatory hormones from not eating for more than 24 hours, and the biggest surprise is that my hunger is completely gone when I wake up the next day. It’s just as if I had dinner the night before.

Thanks. I wonder what is gained by fasting beyond 24hrs? I am shocked by the sideline benefits of Omad. I discovered another one today that could parallel what you are saying.
I donated plasma today after an 11 month break from doing so. I have always had trouble keeping my heart rate at 100 or below (101 or above = no donation). Weight loss, Omad, and improved bloodsugars have decreased my heart rate or at least increased my ability to calm it down. I also was able to ignore the Center's advice to eat a big meal before donating. I hoped the enery and lack of hunger you referenced would aid my self control efforts and it worked.
I really enjoy your easy to understand videos! :)
I fast 23 hours with one meal or 20 hours with a small meal and a big meal
Thank you so much for your video!. I learned not to do extended fasting so often.
First, I am a 66yo male. Some months back, I experienced a left rotator cuff injury likely due to using too heavy a dumbbell. For months, using my left-hand to prop myself up from a lying to a standing position was painful; the injury was simply not healing. Recently, I did a 72-hour extended fast followed by a number of 24-hour intermittent fasts and the pain has gone away. I cannot attribute the absence of pain to any other intervention. Also, I crashed through the weight at which I had plateaued for some months, losing 11.8 lbs in one month.
