02:45 Why it’s natural to crave foods when you normally eat (the cephalic phase of digestion explained)
I have brainwashed myself. When pangs starts...I say I am burning fat and getting healthy. I have made hunger my friend.
That's what I do too, I just say to my body "yes, eat the fat!"
That’s awesome!!
Me too!!
Same here! Whenever I get hungry and feel the stomach pains, I just tell myself “YES SHRINKING STOMACH LETS GO BURN THAT BLUBBER”
Co worker: whats for lunch today?
Me: body fat
Co worker: ...
My recommendation is "make friends with hunger". Don't be afraid of it, welcome it. Like an old friend. Like the pain that comes with exercise. Both are good for you. Embrace them.
Love this!
I use it as a signal to go take a nap or sleep...I don’t make friends with it.
Great piece of advice right here. Thanks
A good positive approach to deal with hunger ghrelin hormones
Woah....I like that.
I had a whole sleeve of Oreos and Hot Chocolate last night...and now I'm here. I did this to myself.
I read a study that said mice will give up cocaine and morphine before they give up Oreo cookies.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jesus Im struggling
😂😂😂👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whenever I struggle during my fast, I watch documentaries on obesity and diabetes. I'm not obese yet, but I have been worried about my health for a while and seeing what I'm doing it for helps me stay motivated.
that's a awesome idea

My sister traveled from Oregon to Washington DC, stayed there about 36 hours, came back, and was NEVER hungry the whole time. She just didn't want to eat because food can be such a hassle when traveling. She's done OMAD and 24-48 hour fasts for years. My hero.
Last year, I traveled from US to India, declined all food offered in flight. Right from my last meal in US to First meal in India at home, I successfully fasted 62 hrs.
Your sister is a badass!!!
I just finished my second 5 day fast and plan on doing 1 a month until I reach my goal. When I first heard about extended fasting I never thought I’d be able to do it. Start small. Fast 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours regularly. Work your way up to 2, 3, 4, and then 5 days. It’s totally doable.
Wow that's awesome man! I am going to start with 24 hour fasting next week Tuesday. Right now the plan is Tuesday-Wed and Thurs-Friday. Any suggestions?
How do you sleep?? I find it so hard to fast and sleep.
@@Angel_3301 Magnesium will make you sleep like a baby
Wow..even thhe comment section here is so inspiring..thank u everyone for your wonderful suggestions through the comments.
I knew there was something I remembered about my life as you were talking, so I've come back to make another comment! Many years ago, my late husband and I left the security of two good jobs, a home, family, and many close friends to move across the country to buy a business in which we had no experience. I was even pregnant with our first child! We were so excited to be making the big leap into unknown territory--both with the business and with having a child after twelve years of marriage! It didn't end well because of the recession our country went into, but we did it!! And our marriage survived working side-by-side, 24-7, while raising a difficult, demanding child, for four hard years! We never worked so hard in all our lives! So I know from looking back on that experience that I have the fortitude and the determination that it takes to do something extremely difficult. I also moved away from home and family after becoming a widow and lived in another country on my own for eight months! I shall now concentrate on going back into my memory bank to use those hard, challenging times to help me through my struggles while fasting!!! Thanks so much, Mike, for the lesson on mental endurance.
I am on day 16 of my fast. As a type 1 diabetic, I have never felt so good physically and experienced this clarity of mind.
Glad to have found this conversation.
Hope you're doing well Terry!
Holy cow! Is the prolonged fasting reversing the diabetes at all?
@@techiefan1986 I am type 1 so insulin supplementation dependent for life, but fasting for 35 days followed by intermittent fasting with very low carb during eating window has most certainly reduced my insulin usage (injections).
@@terryross4436 how can a Type I diabetic go that long without food?
God loves you so! John 3:16✝️
In the beginning, since my weight loss have stopped, I had no problems fasting for two or three days. In fact, I was excited to see how my body will handle being in a ketogenic state. But now, I seem to be obsessed with food. Fasting stopped being easy. I think there is the mental side of fasting that is as important.
Its all about building discipline.
The mind is a muscle that be trained like any other.
exactly!

On my 8th day of a water fast. Going as long as possible.
Gee I’m over here just trying to get past a 16 hour fast. I’ll just be quiet and leave now... haha! 8 days is amazing!!!
Wow amazing goal!
So what?! I did 10 days. ;)
@@echastee Look at you.
@@ninasofianidou4968 black coffee and green tea will be your best friend!!!
How do I get over the thought of ‘I will never be happy ever again?’ it hits so early into a fast I cannot deal with the depression of it.
Are you okay?
I feel the same
Initial 3 days of fasting will be hell but 4th day you will start to feel light feel more mental clearance.On my water fasting watching food video’s really helped me to suppress my hunger.
❤ Maybe it's sugar withdrawal.
Lord I pray that the enemy's attack against Karla Emmersin will not take root. Lord Jesus give Karla comfort that only you can provide give her a sense of peace and place people and situations in her life that will bring her true happiness. This prayer I ask In Jesus name. I pray that the Lord Blesses you and your relationship with the Lord grows from this experience.
Amen.
I have found adding magnesium, potassium and sodium bicarbonate to my daily water drink a big help in mitigating fatigue during the day.
And where can I get these things from?
@@joenailrobinson5543 It’s pink Himalayan salt, baking soda, no salt. Look up snake juice Cole will give you the recipe, be warned he starts every video with “hey fatty.....” his cussing is phenomenal!
Glad I came back to this...

When I fast I usually watch TH-cam's chanels I am interesting in, including yours one. That make me do not think about the food. So keep up making interesting content!
Same :)
same!!
Then there's the food ad.. 😩
@@ianrides9708 yessss😂😂😂😂😂
I do that too, but sometimes it makes fasting worse beausee so many fasting and keto videos want to show their meal plans and what they ate.. Those TH-camrs annoys the crap out of me, not thinking of their viewer's struggles by doing that.
I 36 hour fast 3 days per week and I feel AMAZING on my fasting days but the hunger is pretty intense. Thanks for this
This was the motivation i needed to push through and start really fasting, even if it’s just the 16/8 method
Marie Wiinholt. 16/8 sounds good!
Fasting is easier with a partner. Then you have someone to talk about missing food with, and how hungry you both are.
Day 2 of a water fast and it's harrrrd. I had a bunch of fatty homemade broth on day 1 to help kickstart keto, but will be just doing water/tea/electrolytes/apple cider vinegar moving forward. Hoping to make it 5+ days to help with hemorrhoids (give my bum a break), and of course want to get those autophagy benefits. But I'm SOOOOOOO hungry and it's so hard to push through. This is the longest I've gone without food before. Going to go for a walk and listen to an audiobook and hope it helps. Man, I hope i can push through this, because it feels like I'm dying over here.
Update: day 4 and I was hoping it would have gotten easier, but it's just harder. No energy, can barely keep my eyes open, hunger pains have a power level over 9000. Where is this mental clarity and fasting energy I keep hearing about? So far the whole process has only been suffering. And the hemorrhoids are still as present as ever. Gets better after day 2 my ass.
You don't know how much I needed this right now! Thank you! As always, important information we could all use!
Thanks, I really needed this! Having been struggling anything beyond OMAD. I’m feeling the hunger pangs now, but will push through!
Try these out aswell -

I’ve been 16:8 fasting for a over a week and the cravings are hitting hard. I was craving pizza sooo bad. However I’m glad I didn’t cave in. I decide to just go find a video for motivation and stumbled on this. I’m so glad I did! It helped. Thanks.
When I first start and I would get hungry I would go on a walk. it helped a ton
Thanks for the great tips Mike. I am actively doing some fasting, just came off a 48 hour fast over the weekend. Have lost 40 lbs (18kg) via carnivore and intermittent fasting (normally OMAD) in the last 3 months. Still have about 80lbs still left to lose. I am in Australia and also use the Zero app. Only downloaded it about a month ago and find that it is really good to keep you on track
I live by these words of wisdom... I think of this when I am fasting... "Hunger is the tool which transforns"
Drink WARM liquids (tea, coffee) and avoid COLD drinks. Works for me!
Thank you for suggesting fasting. I've been doing the 16:8 fast. Initially it took a little effort, but it is getting easier. I am not doing it for weight loss. I am doing it for mental clarity. And it works. I am calmer, I respond to stress better, I definitely remember more, and sleep better.
I am 1.5 hours away from crossing the 4 days mark. I'm so hungry I'm fantasizing about 192 calories of broccoli I have upstairs.
LOL. How did it go? What was your post-fast meal?
What are you doing to suppress or lessen your appetite when you fast? I can get to around 62 hours in a fast until I _hanger_ kicks in.
Awesome content! Great transition with the motivation at the end.
I really needed this, thank you! Just started a 24 hour and have only done it a handful of times. This came in during my meditation and was cosmically helpful as I’ve been struggling with hunger waves. Thank you.
Great Vid, working from home so was able to catch it early. Shared with my daughter in London, I’m in Australia. My daughter is just starting IF and yeah I use the Zero app too. Love all your videos Mike, you do awesome work, cheers 😀
You rock!
Your videos have a more personal touch to them. Very nice🌞
Great content, Mike! Keep up the good work!
Awesome as always. Dude you are helping people in the real sense of the term.
Thanks mate.
Thank you so much for this content. I started intermittent fasting after watching an interview you did with an MD. And I was intrigued. I am a minister so I’m used to fasting for up to 5 days dry, but I never stopped to think of the physical benefits of fasting long term, intermittently. I’ve always fasted purely for spiritual health. So this is just fascinating to me. Fasting this way, I lost almost 10 pounds in one week. Thanks.
I'm saving this video to watch EVERYTIME I'm having trouble during my fasts. Thanks so much, this helped a lot!
wow! just wow! I learned a lot from you today! I'm doing OMAD for 2-3 months now and everything you mentioned is gold. Mind over Body! It is very important to know what you consume on fasting or omad. Stick to your plan and your body will soon adapt to it.
Thank you for adding the mindset part its what I needed to hear ..Grateful for this content 🙏
Thanks for the pep talk. I’ve been fasting on Mondays for a 5 weeks now. It is a great idea and your previous video explained it very well. I feel good and definitely have less inflammation.
Your videos are getting better and better. Love the background too👍🌞🦋
Omg this is hard but the mental clarity after only 17 hours is absolutely worth it. Fasting is miraculous!!!
this info is some of the best out there. thankful !
Been doing it for almost three weeks, and I'm already sensing the benefits. I love your mental discipline approach. It's a motivation boost! Thanks. 😊
I have been practicing low carb in conjunction with fasting - specifically OMAD for over 2 years now. During that 2 year period, I basically practice OMAD for 5 days a week, during my work schedule, and then switch to two meals a day on Saturday and Sunday to make socializing easier. Once you practice OMAD for a while, you cease to get the frequent hunger pains you used to get. Its those people who oscillate back and forth between OMAD and regular meal frequency that continually have the hunger pains resurface because they don't practice OMAD long enough to acclimate the hormonal milieu to that pattern of eating. In fact, I find it harder to eat two meals on the weekends, to accommodate for others. I find that I have to force myself to eat, because I just don't feel hungry. I kind of do this to be accommodating to friends and family. This was a marked difference from 5 years ago when, as a high carb consuming obese guy, I would feel like I had to eat every 3 or 4 hours.
Do you notice additional hunger on Monday after a weekend of extra meals?
Excellent video Mike, right on! 👍
This vid came right on time. Much needed information.
I've been doing ADF for 76 days. I broke down and ate once during a fast day. I made up for that with a 60 rather than 36 hour fast afterward. I am getting through a hunger pang today. Tough stuff!
Another hard second day of a 60 hour fast. 98 days in. About 27 pounds down.
This video was one of your best! Thank you, Sir!
Super helpful. Mainly, I like the acknowledgement- it is challenging for everyone!
I wasn't expecting this video to help me with other parts of my life besides fasting. Yeah, it takes mental discipline to do extraordinary things. Couldn't thank you enough, Mike!
I normally go from 16 to 18 hours fasting everyday but did not have the strength to go a little bit further (I want to start 24-hours fast). After the 18th hour I become so moody. But today I already went 19 hours with only water and coffee and I'm feeling awesome! No bad mood, productive AF...
love what you do man! I hope one day you get Morley Robbins on. You really are the forefront of HIGH intensity health!
Really appreciated the content - and the especially pleasant backdrop for this video! It DOES make me feel proud that I don't have to gorge myself on food--and eat all kinds of crazy carbs like many others--and that I have some self-control. I'm going to focus more on that aspect now and see if I can conquer my late-evening cravings. "No caving, Grandma!" :-)
I am just starting a 3-day fast after doing 24h without any problem. I loved the mental exercise part of it, very satisfying to experience not giving in.
I have 16 days left of my water fast and I’m already 2 days in. I am craving but remember to tell myself I still get to enjoy those yummy cheesy foods lol.. just not right now and it’s not technically the end of the world! (It is ) 😂. Pray for me my friends , started at 196, now at 190!
I totally agree that fasting is good for mental health. I find my mind is much clearer and calmer when fasting.
Love that you linked this to mindset.. everything is related to your will power
Thanks Mike, really enjoy your videos.
Thanks for the great tips!
This was so helpful....I thought I wasn't doing very low carb/keto wrong because I got hungry at 10-1 every day....just did my fasting workout during that time and it helped. Thanks!
I needed to hear that! Thank you!
Thanks....am away from home and find it harder to fast here. You've given me renewed motivation.
Thanks for the awesome advice!
"you will be hungry during your regularly scheduled intervals".
Me laughing in night shift.
Ah ha! A realest! I'm going to love your content. I like how clear you speak. I'm losing weight and fasting. I know from my own experience that you have experience. I really appreciate this video. Even 2 years later.
“I want to spend $500.00 on a camera…” Yep, that’s how I was and now I’m into debt and financially insecure. Working on digging out of the hole and setting it straight. Food cravings and money are intertwined…addictive personality enters all facets of my life. I will overcome my need to be “ok” all the time.
This was so helpful, thank you.
Excellent! Very helpful. Thanks. :) I'm currently doing back-to-back 36hrs plus fasts! Feels great
This is excellent info, thank you!
loved that last mindset advice
I started last night at 8pm ( I know, a little late) so this is perfect timing 👍
Thank you for these great tips.
Thank you, this is such good information.
In hindsight, could have made shorter but 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Tomorrow is my Day 1. I am optimistic and looking forward to it. ♥️
Thank you for this!!
Bro it’s amazing your explanation God bless you Bro
I ate one meal a day for years, you do get used to it...I felt great and looked pretty good...not skinny at all...I actually lifted weights 3-4 times a week as well. ..still do. If you really feel hungry, have some water with a little lemon juice in it. I do play music so I must have high energy
Greattt... it makes me want to try int fasting again.. long time i've been vacum not doinh this again. Hopefully it will works.. thanks
Hi! This is my first video on this channel. I'm struggling with getting to the point of starting fasting but I really connected with the mindset part of this video. I'll keep trying...thank you🙏
I like your exploration of of the non nutritional benefits and would enjoy to see more in future videos.
Thanks for this motivation👍🏻🤩
Thanks Mike. Wonderful and informative as always. When I talk with people about improving their health and raising the odds of not getting CV, or getting a lesser version of it through fasting, it's almost comical how it goes in one ear and out the other. They can not comprehend it. I think it's because they have to temporarily give up their "comforter"...putting things in their mouth. It's interesting to observe. Fasting is not easy, and someone has to really want to do it to make headway. I have not yet been able to convince anyone to try fasting and getting into ketosis. For me, I feel like it's my secret weapon against illnesses.
Cool video thank you for sharing 👍
Your video helped me not break my fast
This Came 'ON TIME' For Me☝️
AND I ESPECIALLY Needed You Speaking About The Mental Side Of Things. 👍😇💞
Fasting tomorrow. I love the idea of viewing it as a stoic exercise.
Thanks mike. Will try fasting 24 hrs. I have been fasting 18 hrs almost every day.
Great video. It is tough when you sometimes get hunger pangs. Not sure why but if I start with black coffee and work my way to water with squeezed lemons I have no problem.
I just watch vids from Jason fung and experts like him on the benefits of fasting.
I drink diluted green tea in normal or cold water all day long when i am doing 24 hour. It realy helps
Im fasting for Ramadan. 14 hours. Types of food is essential. Water is as important but yes, mental discipline is key.
Ramadan fasting is not real fasting...You guys trade out your daytime eating to night, when your body should be resting! You dont eat when the sun is up, you start eating, as soon as, the sun is down, most muslims set an alarm to wake and eat right before sunrise... true fasting is eliminating food 24hrs or more...fasting is water (fresh young coconut if you need the nutrients)and perhaps some cleansing herbal tea,
I appreciate you saying it's not going to be easy, your going to be hungry, it's not natural. So many other fasting videos talk about it like it's sooo easy 😳.I caved last night on a bag of almonds after 9 hrs.
Happy memorial day to you & your family Mike
Thank You so much for addressing the mental challenges of fssting! Too many others talk only of the benefits and feeling so great and energetic while fasting. They don't tell the truth, I don't believe. They just concentrate on the beneficial feelings you will get while fasting, not the mental exercise. 😀❤
Good timing, I'm on day 2. :)
My biggest problem during fasting is hunger pangs, which can trigger panic attacks. Thanks for your advice.
Your thoughts on whether I'm compromising some of the benefits from fasting like cellular autophagy by adding BHB salts as a preworkout to my morning bike rides? The appetite suppressing properties have been incredible, eating a meal became a choice and no longer an impulse.
I’m not a fan of the the salts per se. You’re going to be keto anyway via exercise-likely not needed. BUT I’ll do another video on this to expand more.
@@Highintensityhealth Sounds interesting. I always wondered when and why people take them
High Intensity Health I would love to hear more on ketone esters & salts on there effect on fasting🙏
Everytime I feel a craving I come back to this vid
Hunger pangs don't really bother me. I can visualize those regenerating cells and get busy with something until mealtime, which always tastes marvelous!
Best video! It is so tough to NOT eat- especially when you work in healthcare … processed crap (can’t even cal it food) every where …., and we are rushed and stressed and working - it’s tough.
Sort of makes good sense...but good to get your...perspective!...Value your learned experience.
