I'm looking to fast or just look into healthier diets. I have been mostly eating processed and fast foods along with high-sugar foods/candy. I gave up sugar drinks back in February and gave up candy last Monday. But I'm still eating fast foods and easy food like pizza stuff and I want to look for a healthier approach to where I feel better. I usually feel pretty lethargic and makes me feel really sluggish and not want to do anything. This is a huge issue for me because I work as a CNC Machinist in manufacturing industry and it's a very fast paced and moving environment. I've also noticed that my diet has affected my mood throughout the day. I'm trying to work towards something new but I'm not quite sure how I should approach it and what sorts of things I should do. If you can give me tips and suggestions on what you think I should do, that'd be great. To give you more details of my situation... I'm 6'2, 175lbs (underweight I know) and most of my exercise I would say comes from my work. I usually feel pretty drained after work and dont want to do anything so I go home and just veg. I slouch often. I want to make a change and I have been for the last week or so. I've been trying to eat healthier, still sugary stuff via fruits such as apples and grapes and pineapple. I drink probably a gallon or so of water a day... but other than that I feel like it's not good enough and I still feel pretty drained every day. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Totally agree with you. Best way to stay motivated and encouraged is to feed your brain with more educated info. I just finished a road trip from Cali to New York. I water fasted all the way to NY - 4 days. Amazing results and savings!
From my research, you should only do an extended fast (3+ days) 3-4 times per year. I love fasting but overdoing it isn’t advisable. I did a 7 day fast 2 months after the first and it did not feel near as good as the first. Im now on day 1 of a 7 day fast after 3 months of daily intermittent fasting.
Telling people to check with their doctor is counter intuitive.. Too many doctors that have their customers on prescriptions.. Will be too scared of lawsuits....(or scared of losing customers) To allow them to fast.. My endo told me she doesn't recommend ANYONE fast.. Of course I ignored her and fasted for 16 days..
@@eksdeeee4113 it was tough.. But I got a bit of a new pep in my step after I refed.. I'm now going to the gym 4 times a week like clockwork.. Once I gain more muscle weight.. I'll do a 21 day fast.. And see what happens
@@Ryan_DeWitt one has a financial interest in what they are telling you.. One doesn't.. Trial and error is what I advocate for.. Since we're all different..
I'm currently 15 hours away from breaking my seven day fast and I am feeling pretty good. I am considering starting another 7 day fast after a 36 hour reprieve.
I’ve been fasting more and more but doing 45-48’s I’m trying to do a 3 day then try a 10 and do so on I’m 166lbs this morning down from 225 in September
I have been fasting for 72 hours a week since Aug '23. Lost 100lbs so far and totally fat adapted now. I have 80 lbs to go. I am interested in doing a longer fast just once to jumpstart my set point. Glad I found your video.
Great day to day explanation, the tough phase is at the end of day 1 and day 2 entirely. I didn't make it for several times. But once you succeed into day 3, then everything should be fine.
I did it. First 72h I wall full of energy. But after 72, I feel a little tired. But my body was new at the end of the process. I decided to make a 72h fasting once a month.
A few minutes shy of 66 hrs. Had planned a simple 3 day (72hr) strict water fast, but early this morning passing the mid 50s-hr mark the welcomed energy rush and mind clarity hit hard. I have decided to push on to a full 7 day fast. Actually will be even more as I will be at 168 hrs (7 days) 10pm Sunday evening, but because it will be bed time I will simply crawl in and sleep until my usual 6-7am rise and break the fast then. Hoping as this video presentation referencing the 4 days after the first 3 are basically the same and repeat the 3rd day. This could be life changing for me at 58 yrs. I have always been in excellent shape, but broke my neck severely racing motocross summer 2017 and it's been hell ever since. It took this long to get to a point of health and mobility to try this. I was lucky that I didn't become paralyzed, but the nerve damage and insane burning pain is brutal. I want to be able to play my guitars again and reduce the inflammation if possible. Not about any weight loss at this point, but I will welcome some fat reduction with toning to chest and hips. **Big bit of advice is that I did a full week of juicing before this fast. Really set my body up for intense fat burn and massive ketosis. I smell like a can of acetone 😁
Interesting to return to my comment when that was my first fast at the beginning of summer. I have now completed 6 strict fasting journeys all being a week (7days) or more. Did a 202hr fast and that was intense. But to answer your question, the results have been incredible. My personal health benefits are miraculous to say the least. Plus the fat burn and body shred are a fantastic bonus. I got my partner to do 82hr fasting now once a month and she loves it. She mainly does it for weight lose and blood pressure. We are both in our 50s. A wonderful aid is an app called 'LIFE'. I am not a big app person, but this one is helpful and packed with a great group of people and health information to keep you engaged and on track. Such a shame the corrupt medical profession won't acknolwedge how incredible this is. You can literally cautiously get off meds with the proper approach (in my opinion), BUT I am NOT a doctor - so each their own. @@Krishanapanchaal1
Jumping into 7 days fasting from Monday :) already prepared by reducing amount of food I eat, got my electrolytes, sea salt and filtered water is ready! Can not wait for that ^^
We all have life stressors, this isn't a reason to not fast... First, you should only fast if you feel compelled to do so. Sidenote: I did a 21 day fast all while cooking for my family daily, and working around food. Also, dealing with emotional stress at that time. I completed this successfully. I felt mentally clear, suddenly things that were everyday stressors didn't seem so bad... I wish everyone well on their healing journey! 🙏🏽
I’m on my 3rd day water fast for the first time. I’m 54 years old 5’2” female, i did Atkins and IF during 5 years like 15 years ago, 3 months ago I was weighing 156 lbs , I started Keto diet which was very easy for me to adapt, also went back to IF, went down to 147 lbs, Monday September 9th i started water fasting , blood sugar 78, today Wednesday September 11th I’m 145.2 lbs , my blood sugar at 67, I feel great and will extend the fasting to Friday depending how I feel and my glucose levels in good points, I have been losing weight slowly which it’s normal on menopausal woman with estrogen dominance . Will update at the end of my water fasting
I am 64 yrs of age ; being suffering from emotional sufferings from my ex husband since I was 17 . I was told that I was fat & sent me to see my GP in 1976 . When my GP checked my weight , I was 7 stone in weight and my GP told me that I was under weight . Even after having two children I weighed 7 stone and 5 lbs . I suffered with chronic IBS since 1976 to this date (April 2023). I was at a lost point with my chronic pains hence I did an incredible amount of research into Fasting/Autophagy etc etc and decided to embark on Fasting for three days . This is my 4th day of fasting and my GI tract feel so so comfortable ; no chronic pains and burning tongue etc . I also stooped my antacids during fasting . My gut, my whole body and mind is so light and happy . First two days , I did struggle and cheated by eating three to 4 , dates as well . I highly recommend for anyone to go ahead with fasting . Before doing it , please read and read about how it all works . Knowledge is extremely helpful knowing how intelligent it is . I am so grateful to all the medical and scientific community for sharing knowledge with us all . Love and blessings to all of you .
Thanks Dr. Nick, I'm on the fifth day of my seventh day fasting, I'm just learning how to end my fasting properly by watching your vedeo. Thanks again, can't wait to watch your nxt ones.
Today is my fourth day of fasting,I’m going for a 7 day fasting,do not try to do this if you haven’t done it before,the first time do it for one day,next week do it for two days and at the third week,do it for three days,and repeat it at least for three times and then you’re ready,one more thing,do it if you think you’re overweight,that way you’ll be shedding fat...
I did a 7 day water fast. On day 5 was not feeling well. I decided to drink some water with salt. Thought I was going to have a heart attack on my way to work. I spent majority of the morning at work in the restroom. I must have went through a natural cleanse. The last 2 days I felt great.
I always end up watching these fasting vids halfway through a fast and they show graphics of steaks and yummy food, argh what ya doin to me dude, lol. cheers for the info.
I'm so excited to be starting a new fast tomorrow. Today is the last day of pre fasting preparations. I'm aiming for 7 days this time and have every reason to believe I will make it. With the whole weel off I can rest or nap or work as needed. I've got my keto chow fasting drops and 3 cases of spring water and my chickens will be laying the eggs I'll breakfast with on day 7.
I'm just completing day 6 💯💪🏾 and tomorrow will be day 7 ! It's been a challenge and a journey. But staying as busy as possible is key 🔑 to not falling week and putting a nice juicy burger 🍔 or pizza 🍕 👀👅 in your mouth !
7 days is the holy grail..ive got better than average discipline but havent cracked six days yet..five is my best..but my lifes goal is to be able to say i went an entire week without a single calorie
Thank you for walking us through the details of a water fast and what to expect! Can you explain more what glycogen is and how a water fast affects our glycogen levels? I LOVE your videos!
I had an on and off relationship with Water Fasting. Starting weight of 110 KGS down to 82.9 KGS in 4 months. Yesterday, I started doing my water fast again for 7 days. Will let you guys know the outcome :)
@@homeskillet7423 Hi Natalie 🙂 As much as possible, I'm trying my level best to resist the cravings. I tend to look at my old photo when I was 110 kgs and motivate again myself saying that I've come this far and I cant ruin it . Sometimes, I also get a tiny Himalayan PINK salt just to taste and then drink plenty of water OR I brush my teeth then the cravings will be gone 😁
@@missbuttercream9168 I did a three day fast before, I am wondering if you added any Potassium in your long fast? Or was it just salt that you take? I am wondering if I should get any electrolytes ready for my next prolonged fasting (have not decided if I will do the three or seven day fast)
You forgot to mention palpitations usually in the morning of day 3 and 4 because glucose and glycogen levels begin to go low, mostly because glycogen is depleted from muscle fibers. You forgot to mention loose stools on day 4-5-6 even for those whom have evacuated their intestinal content before starting the prolonged water fast. And also, no one nearly ever switches from burning carbs to burning fat (ketosis) as early as day 3 or 4 Usually it takes much more longer for most of us. Our bodies are just too used to burning glucose as fuel... it doesn't even have the proper enzymes to be able to tap into our fat storage for energy. It actually takes time to shift over from oxidation of glucose to that of fatty acids --> ketones. It does happen, but NOT that quickly. So yes, there are some more issues to be addressed and aware of. Greetings from Italy 💝🍀
@@TheRealRealOK i think you are talking only eating meat. However i have to limit meats because of stomach and intestinal cramping. I mostly eat farm food. Plants and fish.
@Beth Pace.. I have a couple of questions about MS... 1. Do you take any of the medications that are on the market for MS nd if so, what are you taking??.. 2. How long ago were you diagnosed??... Thank you, Jill
Thanks I did a 12hr fast, Was a challange...i ate greasy foods afterwards because of cravings and then felt sick. Then a 30 hr fast, smells of a BBQ killed me. I transition slowly into foods. Then a 40 hr fast.... moody i was. .. transition slow into foods slowly, Paleo stlye no wheat no bad fats Now i will prepare for 7 day journey.... salts important as well as vitamin C . Blueberries and avacado its tuff but it will reset my life. I have too look great for my Thailand trip. Thanx Dr Nick
Not ready to take on 7days. Agree that one should ease into it. 24hrs I do almost 1x wk. Will try a weekend fast next. Your tips are helpful. Thank you Dr. Z
go to loren lockmans page and learn how many things like acetic acid are actually fairly toxic and damaging to the body, and toted as a health food to make it all the worse. I have a bottle in my cupboard and have been using it years, i basically hate the stuff now...it's trash nutritionally to the max...I can't argue with his logic in these area, I immediately recognized the truth he was sharing...it just clicks..
I stared this journey almost 3 months ago, it went too slow I was about to give up then the weight losing start. I will keep updating my comments and let people know my experiences
I’m doing a nine day fast currently. Finished a seven day fast two weeks ago. Definitely going better. When I refeed I do 23;1 omad keto . Love EF. Trying to build my immune system through growth hormone and rebuild my immune system
A seven day water fast is just amazing .I tried it and lost 8kg in a week .I went from 98kg to 90kg and my brain and skin were just amazing thank you Dr
@@KopilaRai yes I drank pure mineral water for 7 days nothing added to the water and lost that much.I drank maximum 3.5liters of water per day .time breakdown for me was always 6pm
I completed 3 days. It was so healing for my gut after years of autoimmune damage. I'm going to do another 3 days after 2 weeks, then a 7 day 3 weeks after that. This will definitely be a part of my life moving forward. Between a lectin free diet and water fasting it's the first time I found something that helps.
I did a 9 day fast back in June. Amazing to find out you won't starve to death if you don't eat for that long. LOL. But I did know from past experience with having the flu and being unable to keep any food down for a week that I could survive a long fast. 😉
Freedom from ever "having" to worry about where to get decent food when travelling ever again. No problem, just fast for the day safe in knowledge it's not a disaster that will end up in a&e. Great isn't it.
Thank you for this video! It is very helpful and now I am confident that me and my wife’s recovery period will go well after our 7 day water fast is complete.
So true. When I first started, I had muscle pain and headache and dizziness in just 36 hours.... Then 2nd time, I could do around 60hours, Then the 3rd one, I was able to do for 4.5 days.
Fasting is easy when you're not mentally and emotionally dependent upon food for comfort/support of your being. That's where meditation and other spiritual practices come into play. 👁💡👑
I'm on hour 29 of a 36 hour fast. Multiple day fasting just seems beyond me at this point. I'm attempting one 36 hour fast a week for four weeks just to see if I can break an 18 month plateau. 3 years ago I went from a horrible diet to a very healthy diet, and my BMI dropped from 43 to 29 in 18 months. Since then, I've been trying to figure out how to get down to a BMI of 25.
I once did 13 days cold turkey because I felt so unhealthy, tho i am not new to fasting ( TMI cleared up my skin cyst hemorrhoid oncoming flu) i dont recommend cold turkey but it was pure determination lol. now trying to do a 7 day, right now on day 3! But this time more thoughtful.
That's all they did in biblical times my maximum has been in the past 3 days. But it has to be a spiritual fast to be numerous days or else I can't not do it. To succeed you cannot watch Food Network or TV for that matter
I did 11 days 5 months ago but made the mistake of not partaking in electrolytes and become very potassium deficient I’m on day 3 now this time around. I won’t be making that same mistake twice!
I've hit plateau over the last couple months, not losing weight on omad and started to see a buildup on fat on my abdomin. I will try to do a water fast to reset my system.
I am trying 7 day for first time in life am fasting ever right now on 45th hour and i feel okay not so bad as i thought.... yes yesterday i was getting mad about food... i almost gave up like 80% gave up... but now i am back with more motivation
I just completed a 7 day fast and it went great; however, I struggle with it much more than this doctor says. I went into the fast pretty much exactly as he explains, but around day 2 or 3 I get so low energy like my body weighs a ton. Even sitting or laying down is laborious. It's like walking around all day carrying a weight and you can never put it down to rest. Anyway, I broke the fast with a small orange and later a small papaya. For lunch and dinner I had 100% grass fed beef shank, with the bone, soup with herbs and vegetables, slow cooked overnight. It tasted like the best meal I ever tasted and at night my stomach felt so good like it was healing. Hopefully I can make it an annual or semi-annual tradition and hopefully it'll get easier.
I think I should do a three-day fast to see how I fare. The longest I've gone without food has been 25 hours and it was OK, so I don't think I'll hurt myself.
another point why you shouldn't eat like a beast after fasting - you haven't been producing insulin. if you eat carbs, your blood sugar will shoot through the ceiling and you'll get hyperglycemic. i prefer to do broths and juices for the same number of days I fasted and then add in light vegetables, etc...i got pho after my first fast to drink the broth and i had like one fork full of noodle. my blood glucose went from 82 mg/dL to 160 mg/dL in 8 minutes and I felt like I was going to pass out. no bueno...
Very informative video. But I was wondering if we should start with a 24hr ( one day) fast first, if we are doing Ok with that then we go for 3 days and go on to 7 days
here is the deal, if you wish to do prolonged water fasting (and there ARE ZERO hacks for this in case you were wondering) THE ONLY THING MORE CHALLENGING than that is THE PREPARATION for a proper prolonged water fast...and that is a COOKED FOOD FAST...you believe that this is easy, challenge yourself to do 1 week raw...see if you think cooked food has little addictive potential. I will almost guarantee you that it will be the most challenging week you have gone through for awhile. Welcome to the big time, finding out what were made of, knowing yourself. So that is 1 week fully raw fruits n veggies...it's super hard when 99.9% of society hates to eat like that (if appearances are anything) yet also the fact that most of us have super little experience for even a day or two without USELESS (to survival and in fact often it's more like a slow death) cooked foods...then once you see how nearly beyond hard this is, ask yourself WHY? Why would something that is unnecessary to your survival be that ingrained in your life.
All I want to know is what should I start off eating after I come off my 7 day fast, I’m on day 6 right now and reading through the comments some people say start off with bananas, steamed broccoli, cauliflower with a little sea salt, no butter, a little butter. Saw somewhere else to start off with watermelon, melon only. Soups only, someone said mash potatoes, like what do I literally need to start off with, this is my first 7 day water fast, I’ve done 24 hrs before
I did 3 42 hour fasts and one 68 hr fast. His experience is about the same as mine, but I remember the hunger actually going up on day three. But felt very good otherwise and slept less like the DR. experienced night. I used distilled water with pink salt. Otherwise no vitamins or coffee or tea, just water. I think I broke the fast eating too much, but DID eat small and wait 3 hours to eat bigger. I used fish and Pickled herring, some pasta and a little bread. Some apple cider vinegar. But for ALL the fasts my stomach felt "heavy" at first and took about four days to be completely back with same stools and no "heavyness". The four days however I was eating more than usual. What is weird and unexpected is that I could "feel" when my metabolism reversed. I felt very weak and nauseous for about 5 - 10 minuets, But then felt fine again but slightly "different" This happened every time in the late afternoon of the first full day.
Hahaha. I'm almost done with my first 3 say fast and I had a pinch of salt yesterday and a pinch today. The pinch yesterday was helpful for the hunger pains. The pinch I took today made me feel nauseous in my stomach for a lil bit.

From my research, you should only do an extended fast (3+ days) 3-4 times per year. I love fasting but overdoing it isn’t advisable.
I did a 7 day fast 2 months after the first and it did not feel near as good as the first. Im now on day 1 of a 7 day fast after 3 months of daily intermittent fasting.
The first 48 hours are the most difficult. Hunger disappears at around 48 hours. So you should have no problem with a longer fast.
This really works!!! My face cleared up and my bills are low haha 💕
Haha
😂😂😂😂
How much kilos do you lost?
Really?? Face cleared?
Are you on Instagram or anything?
Starting my first day of a 7 day fast….need all your blessings….🙏
Hang in there! I'm on day 4!
You Got This 🙏💪
I’m on day 3 and I’ve been lifting heavy everyday. Your body is an amazing machine. It can handle it.
Telling people to check with their doctor is counter intuitive.. Too many doctors that have their customers on prescriptions.. Will be too scared of lawsuits....(or scared of losing customers) To allow them to fast..
My endo told me she doesn't recommend ANYONE fast.. Of course I ignored her and fasted for 16 days..
yeah, doctors (MDs) are ignorant about the power of fasting. It's out of their scope, they will discourage you 99.9% of the time. MDs are scumbags.
Damn, 16 days is a lot
@@eksdeeee4113 it was tough.. But I got a bit of a new pep in my step after I refed.. I'm now going to the gym 4 times a week like clockwork.. Once I gain more muscle weight.. I'll do a 21 day fast.. And see what happens
I would say listening to youtube experts vs your doctor is extremely counter intuitive.
@@Ryan_DeWitt one has a financial interest in what they are telling you.. One doesn't.. Trial and error is what I advocate for.. Since we're all different..
Day 2 of 9 day water fast. Wish me luck!
Good luck. Keep going. U can do it.
Bro are you alive?
I wish you amazing luck
@@yatri1129what a question😂😂😂😂
Update
I'm currently 15 hours away from breaking my seven day fast and I am feeling pretty good. I am considering starting another 7 day fast after a 36 hour reprieve.
Awesome job❤
Wow!
How was the 2nd follow-up fast??
Fasting is the closest thing to the foundation of youth
How much you reduced
This video is EXCELLENT!!! I'm on day 2 of a water fast. I'm shooting for 14 days.
Way to go mike i started today 10/05/19
How did it go?
Failed
I’ve been fasting more and more but doing 45-48’s I’m trying to do a 3 day then try a 10 and do so on I’m 166lbs this morning down from 225 in September
@@jayjay2552 😳
72 hours in and I’m actually feeling great! Love the videos! Thank you!
I have been fasting for 72 hours a week since Aug '23. Lost 100lbs so far and totally fat adapted now. I have 80 lbs to go. I am interested in doing a longer fast just once to jumpstart my set point. Glad I found your video.
omg....you have inspired me to restart. Thank you.
omg.....fantastic.....how are you going on the fasting. I have restarted fasting again...feel amazing.
@@imhere8380 still at 72hrs once a week. Set point going down so slow but I see results in my clothes
FREAKING AWESOME FOR YOU!!!!
Exciting!!!!!😆😁😄😃😀
Great day to day explanation, the tough phase is at the end of day 1 and day 2 entirely. I didn't make it for several times. But once you succeed into day 3, then everything should be fine.
Thanks.
For me the first 3 days were a breeze. Day 4 was brutal. Nausea, headaches coming in waves, physically exhausted. 80 hours in. It's toughh.
@@boethia7367 Same here, I'm on day 4 and I feel so ill.
I did it. First 72h I wall full of energy. But after 72, I feel a little tired. But my body was new at the end of the process. I decided to make a 72h fasting once a month.
At 64 hours, today is a hard one. Just binge watching fasting videos to keep me motivated why I'm doing this.
It's crazy how salt is such a game changer. I will go from nearly fainting to normal and energetic.
😂happened to me yesterday
Omg totally!!! 😂😂😂❤
I've noticed the same. Got a high quality Celtic.
This is my second time fasting, trying to go for 3, I'm on day 2 and I can feel the light headedness ha
I got threw a 24 hr fast! I've never been able to do that! A miracle! I've been keto v
Carnivor for 3 months and lost 32 lbs!
24 hr fasting?
You were on a carnivore diet when you lost the 32lbs?
@Maxine Simms wish you best Simms , don't forget to drink a lot of water
Through it... Well done build on that. Way to go😊
What does keto.v.mean?
A few minutes shy of 66 hrs. Had planned a simple 3 day (72hr) strict water fast, but early this morning passing the mid 50s-hr mark the welcomed energy rush and mind clarity hit hard. I have decided to push on to a full 7 day fast. Actually will be even more as I will be at 168 hrs (7 days) 10pm Sunday evening, but because it will be bed time I will simply crawl in and sleep until my usual 6-7am rise and break the fast then. Hoping as this video presentation referencing the 4 days after the first 3 are basically the same and repeat the 3rd day. This could be life changing for me at 58 yrs. I have always been in excellent shape, but broke my neck severely racing motocross summer 2017 and it's been hell ever since. It took this long to get to a point of health and mobility to try this. I was lucky that I didn't become paralyzed, but the nerve damage and insane burning pain is brutal. I want to be able to play my guitars again and reduce the inflammation if possible. Not about any weight loss at this point, but I will welcome some fat reduction with toning to chest and hips. **Big bit of advice is that I did a full week of juicing before this fast. Really set my body up for intense fat burn and massive ketosis. I smell like a can of acetone 😁
How do you feel ?
Interesting to return to my comment when that was my first fast at the beginning of summer. I have now completed 6 strict fasting journeys all being a week (7days) or more. Did a 202hr fast and that was intense. But to answer your question, the results have been incredible. My personal health benefits are miraculous to say the least. Plus the fat burn and body shred are a fantastic bonus. I got my partner to do 82hr fasting now once a month and she loves it. She mainly does it for weight lose and blood pressure. We are both in our 50s. A wonderful aid is an app called 'LIFE'. I am not a big app person, but this one is helpful and packed with a great group of people and health information to keep you engaged and on track. Such a shame the corrupt medical profession won't acknolwedge how incredible this is. You can literally cautiously get off meds with the proper approach (in my opinion), BUT I am NOT a doctor - so each their own.
@@Krishanapanchaal1
Jumping into 7 days fasting from Monday :) already prepared by reducing amount of food I eat, got my electrolytes, sea salt and filtered water is ready! Can not wait for that ^^
Great timing. A friend and I plan to do a five day fast in September. I’ll be sending him a link to this. 👍🏻
BAM! It will help him know what to expect and the best methods for success.
Your clarifying words encourage me to QUICKLY delve into a healing FAST so to begin the New Year UNHURRIEDLY.🦋
I was gonna go right into a seven day fast, but you talked me into starting with a three day fast. Great information though thank you for your help.
We all have life stressors, this isn't a reason to not fast... First, you should only fast if you feel compelled to do so.
Sidenote: I did a 21 day fast all while cooking for my family daily, and working around food. Also, dealing with emotional stress at that time. I completed this successfully. I felt mentally clear, suddenly things that were everyday stressors didn't seem so bad... I wish everyone well on their healing journey! 🙏🏽
Water only? On what day did it get easier?
I’m on my 3rd day water fast for the first time. I’m 54 years old 5’2” female, i did Atkins and IF during 5 years like 15 years ago, 3 months ago I was weighing 156 lbs , I started Keto diet which was very easy for me to adapt, also went back to IF, went down to 147 lbs, Monday September 9th i started water fasting , blood sugar 78, today Wednesday September 11th I’m 145.2 lbs , my blood sugar at 67, I feel great and will extend the fasting to Friday depending how I feel and my glucose levels in good points, I have been losing weight slowly which it’s normal on menopausal woman with estrogen dominance . Will update at the end of my water fasting

What were your results?
I am 64 yrs of age ; being suffering from emotional sufferings from my ex husband since I was 17 . I was told that I was fat & sent me to see my GP in 1976 .
When my GP checked my weight , I was 7 stone in weight and my GP told me that I was under weight .
Even after having two children I weighed 7 stone and 5 lbs .
I suffered with chronic IBS since 1976 to this date (April 2023).
I was at a lost point with my chronic pains hence I did an incredible amount of research into Fasting/Autophagy etc etc and decided to embark on Fasting for three days .
This is my 4th day of fasting and my GI tract feel so so comfortable ; no chronic pains and burning tongue etc .
I also stooped my antacids during fasting . My gut, my whole body and mind is so light and happy .
First two days , I did struggle and cheated by eating three to 4 , dates as well .
I highly recommend for anyone to go ahead with fasting . Before doing it , please read and read about how it all works . Knowledge is extremely helpful knowing how intelligent it is .
I am so grateful to all the medical and scientific community for sharing knowledge with us all .
Love and blessings to all of you .
Thanks Dr. Nick, I'm on the fifth day of my seventh day fasting, I'm just learning how to end my fasting properly by watching your vedeo. Thanks again, can't wait to watch your nxt ones.
One of the best videos I have seen on fasting. very informative and very helpful. Great job! thank you(:
Today is my fourth day of fasting,I’m going for a 7 day fasting,do not try to do this if you haven’t done it before,the first time do it for one day,next week do it for two days and at the third week,do it for three days,and repeat it at least for three times and then you’re ready,one more thing,do it if you think you’re overweight,that way you’ll be shedding fat...
I'll try the 3 day water fast first, then try the 7 day water fast later. I hope it helps in healing of the pains i have in my legs.
Titilayo George did it
I’m flying back home from a 2 week vacation in Hawaii. Soon as I land, my 7 day fasting shall begin!
How did it go?
You can burn off all those calories you enjoyed on vacation
Im currently on day 5 of a 7 day fast. This was very informative and I can identify with everything Nick brings up in the video.
I did a 7 day water fast. On day 5 was not feeling well. I decided to drink some water with salt. Thought I was going to have a heart attack on my way to work. I spent majority of the morning at work in the restroom. I must have went through a natural cleanse. The last 2 days I felt great.
What happened?
How much salt?
I always end up watching these fasting vids halfway through a fast and they show graphics of steaks and yummy food, argh what ya doin to me dude, lol. cheers for the info.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
I'm so excited to be starting a new fast tomorrow. Today is the last day of pre fasting preparations. I'm aiming for 7 days this time and have every reason to believe I will make it. With the whole weel off I can rest or nap or work as needed. I've got my keto chow fasting drops and 3 cases of spring water and my chickens will be laying the eggs I'll breakfast with on day 7.
a 2 days fast is already hard af!! my next goal is 3 days..then hopefully i'll get to 7 days..
I did 8 days off the bat jump don't dip your toe
Day 2 is the hardest!
Day 4 is hardest the body starts to detox with watery shits and tiredness which resolves itself.
It probably gets easier after 3 days ... your body becomes Immune to it
@@o0xXKilahKandyXx0o i've came a long way since i made this comment..i did 7 days fast multiple times already..
I am on day 2 of a 3 day water fast!
I'm just completing day 6 💯💪🏾 and tomorrow will be day 7 ! It's been a challenge and a journey. But staying as busy as possible is key 🔑 to not falling week and putting a nice juicy burger 🍔 or pizza 🍕 👀👅 in your mouth !
They say if you fast for seven days, there’s a 90% chance that you will never get cancer, I’m on day 11
7 days is the holy grail..ive got better than average discipline but havent cracked six days yet..five is my best..but my lifes goal is to be able to say i went an entire week without a single calorie
Thank you for walking us through the details of a water fast and what to expect! Can you explain more what glycogen is and how a water fast affects our glycogen levels? I LOVE your videos!
I had my last meal 2hrs ago. Been keto & intermittent fasting but going for a 7 day water fast. So 2hrs in. Fingers crossed.
How did it go?
I had an on and off relationship with Water Fasting. Starting weight of 110 KGS down to 82.9 KGS in 4 months. Yesterday, I started doing my water fast again for 7 days. Will let you guys know the outcome :)
How do you deal with cravings
@@homeskillet7423 Hi Natalie 🙂 As much as possible, I'm trying my level best to resist the cravings. I tend to look at my old photo when I was 110 kgs and motivate again myself saying that I've come this far and I cant ruin it . Sometimes, I also get a tiny Himalayan PINK salt just to taste and then drink plenty of water OR I brush my teeth then the cravings will be gone 😁
@@missbuttercream9168 I did a three day fast before, I am wondering if you added any Potassium in your long fast? Or was it just salt that you take? I am wondering if I should get any electrolytes ready for my next prolonged fasting (have not decided if I will do the three or seven day fast)
@@missbuttercream9168 mint tea 🍵 is good for cravings and tummy discomfort
You forgot to mention palpitations usually in the morning of day 3 and 4 because glucose and glycogen levels begin to go low, mostly because glycogen is depleted from muscle fibers.
You forgot to mention loose stools on day 4-5-6 even for those whom have evacuated their intestinal content before starting the prolonged water fast.
And also,
no one nearly ever switches from burning carbs to burning fat (ketosis) as early as day 3 or 4
Usually it takes much more longer for most of us.
Our bodies are just too used to burning glucose as fuel...
it doesn't even have the proper enzymes to be able to tap into our fat storage for energy. It actually takes time to shift over from oxidation of glucose to that of fatty acids --> ketones.
It does happen, but NOT that quickly.
So yes, there are some more issues to be addressed and aware of.
Greetings from Italy 💝🍀
Yes. Only way to get my inflammation down when i have MS flare up. Love it. 🔥❤
Beth Pace Have you also tried carnivore?
@@TheRealRealOK i think you are talking only eating meat. However i have to limit meats because of stomach and intestinal cramping. I mostly eat farm food. Plants and fish.
@Beth Pace.. I have a couple of questions about MS... 1. Do you take any of the medications that are on the market for MS nd if so, what are you taking??..
2. How long ago were you diagnosed??...
Thank you,

that's really interesting, lots of people tell me how healing fasting is. wishing you well 🌿🙏
I received my MS diagnosis in Feb 2015.
Thanks
I did a 12hr fast,
Was a challange...i ate greasy foods afterwards because of cravings and then felt sick.
Then a 30 hr fast, smells of a BBQ killed me. I transition slowly into foods. Then a 40 hr fast.... moody i was. .. transition slow into foods slowly, Paleo stlye no wheat no bad fats
Now i will prepare for 7 day journey.... salts important as well as vitamin C . Blueberries and avacado its tuff but it will reset my life. I have too look great for my Thailand trip. Thanx Dr Nick
Dr Nick, I love your style of presentation.
Perfect video! You know exactly what you’re talking about - have a 3 day behind me and ready for a 7... thank you!
And for us Christians more Spiritual power !!! Dreams are massive !! You can hear God voice because your Spirit is now stronger as it should be
Yes to the massive dreams. 46 hours in on a 7 Day fast and I've had the most vivid dreams ever.
FINALLY! Someone who breaks it down!
Not ready to take on 7days. Agree that one should ease into it. 24hrs I do almost 1x wk. Will try a weekend fast next. Your tips are helpful. Thank you Dr. Z
Try a 3 day first. You have to experience it to truly understand it. The 3 day will help you know what to expect.

Why no apple cider vinegar?
go to loren lockmans page and learn how many things like acetic acid are actually fairly toxic and damaging to the body, and toted as a health food to make it all the worse. I have a bottle in my cupboard and have been using it years, i basically hate the stuff now...it's trash nutritionally to the max...I can't argue with his logic in these area, I immediately recognized the truth he was sharing...it just clicks..
I stared this journey almost 3 months ago, it went too slow I was about to give up then the weight losing start. I will keep updating my comments and let people know my experiences
How did it go?
Do you have a video on the stages of fasting regarding a 21, 30, and 40 days? What are the regenerative mechanisms and at what day?
I’m doing a nine day fast currently. Finished a seven day fast two weeks ago. Definitely going better. When I refeed I do 23;1 omad keto . Love EF. Trying to build my immune system through growth hormone and rebuild my immune system
Yea, just finished a 3 day fast, in 4 weeks gonna do a 5 day fast then before Christmas gonna do the 7 day.

You got this!
I am on day four of my first 7days water fasting. The weight is melting off! Lost 2.6 kg in 3days.
How much did you lose in 7 days?
Wish me luck... slight headache 🤕 but it’s ok as Himalayan salt I have added up
Day 1 of water fasting
Weight : 81.2 kg
Day 2 : 80.4 kg
A seven day water fast is just amazing .I tried it and lost 8kg in a week .I went from 98kg to 90kg and my brain and skin were just amazing thank you Dr
Omg you drank good quality water with sea salt the whole 7 days?? What's the time breakdown for water consumption?
@@KopilaRai yes I drank pure mineral water for 7 days nothing added to the water and lost that much.I drank maximum 3.5liters of water per day .time breakdown for me was always 6pm
On day 8, aiming for at least 21 days.

How did it go?
Dina Simoné I’m pretty skinny so I had to stop at day 14. But then I did another one a month later for another 14.

Awesome! Lots of good and healthy information.
Starting 2024 with a 7 day fast 😊
“This is a time of healing “👍🏽
I completed 3 days.
It was so healing for my gut after years of autoimmune damage.
I'm going to do another 3 days after 2 weeks, then a 7 day 3 weeks after that.
This will definitely be a part of my life moving forward.
Between a lectin free diet and water fasting it's the first time I found something that helps.
That's great!
I did a 9 day fast back in June. Amazing to find out you won't starve to death if you don't eat for that long. LOL. But I did know from past experience with having the flu and being unable to keep any food down for a week that I could survive a long fast. 😉
Freedom from ever "having" to worry about where to get decent food when travelling ever again. No problem, just fast for the day safe in knowledge it's not a disaster that will end up in a&e. Great isn't it.
i did 29 days.i’m still alive😂
Going into a long fast is a combination of terror and excitement and dread...and bravery.
I was trying for 3 and messed up the first night. ):
Just start again. 💪🏽
i failed water fasting at 2nd day. i start again today
Thank you for this video! It is very helpful and now I am confident that me and my wife’s recovery period will go well after our 7 day water fast is complete.
We did it!!!!🎉
I’m doing a 3 day fast at the moment.. not sure on how to break it yet - I have coconut water to start ..
118 hours in. Going for a week I guess at this point
Can't do a 7 day fast without doing a 3 day fast first.
So true. When I first started, I had muscle pain and headache and dizziness in just 36 hours.... Then 2nd time, I could do around 60hours,
Then the 3rd one, I was able to do for 4.5 days.
Fasting is easy when you're not mentally and emotionally dependent upon food for comfort/support of your being. That's where meditation and other spiritual practices come into play. 👁💡👑
I'm on hour 29 of a 36 hour fast. Multiple day fasting just seems beyond me at this point. I'm attempting one 36 hour fast a week for four weeks just to see if I can break an 18 month plateau. 3 years ago I went from a horrible diet to a very healthy diet, and my BMI dropped from 43 to 29 in 18 months. Since then, I've been trying to figure out how to get down to a BMI of 25.
I once did 13 days cold turkey because I felt so unhealthy, tho
i am not new to fasting ( TMI cleared up my skin cyst hemorrhoid oncoming flu) i dont recommend cold turkey but it was pure determination lol. now trying to do a 7 day, right now on day 3! But this time more thoughtful.
45 hours in. I feel free. Going for 10 days
Awesome, keep up the good work!
I am doing 7 days water only fast.pls would u help me in getting recipe to break fast I orderly manner
That's all they did in biblical times my maximum has been in the past 3 days. But it has to be a spiritual fast to be numerous days or else I can't not do it. To succeed you cannot watch Food Network or TV for that matter
Great vedio doc, best ive seen of a 7day water fast.
Hey Wellness Warrior, glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for this great video. Inspired to get into the fasting lifestyle. Will aim to do a 7 day fast twice monthly..
I did 11 days 5 months ago but made the mistake of not partaking in electrolytes and become very potassium deficient
I’m on day 3 now this time around. I won’t be making that same mistake twice!
How does this continue to happen to people, lol!
Fasting can be so much more enjoyable and beneficial if you just do it right ^^
How did you get potassium?
How do you know you were specifically potassium deficient?
flexman22 I ended up in the ER and they gave me this nasty potassium concentrate juice

Hey its 3rd day of my water fasting...wish me luck to complete 7 days fasting ❤
I've hit plateau over the last couple months, not losing weight on omad and started to see a buildup on fat on my abdomin. I will try to do a water fast to reset my system.
I am trying 7 day for first time in life am fasting ever
right now on 45th hour and i feel okay
not so bad as i thought.... yes yesterday i was getting mad about food... i almost gave up like 80% gave up... but now i am back with more motivation
Can we add TRACE MINERALS in the distilled water?
No 'Garbage Diet' before the fast...and No 'Garbage Diet' after the fast. Got it! "Garbage Diet" Sooo adequately describes the SAD!!!
I just completed a 7 day fast and it went great; however, I struggle with it much more than this doctor says. I went into the fast pretty much exactly as he explains, but around day 2 or 3 I get so low energy like my body weighs a ton. Even sitting or laying down is laborious. It's like walking around all day carrying a weight and you can never put it down to rest. Anyway, I broke the fast with a small orange and later a small papaya. For lunch and dinner I had 100% grass fed beef shank, with the bone, soup with herbs and vegetables, slow cooked overnight. It tasted like the best meal I ever tasted and at night my stomach felt so good like it was healing. Hopefully I can make it an annual or semi-annual tradition and hopefully it'll get easier.
I think I should do a three-day fast to see how I fare. The longest I've gone without food has been 25 hours and it was OK, so I don't think I'll hurt myself.
another point why you shouldn't eat like a beast after fasting - you haven't been producing insulin. if you eat carbs, your blood sugar will shoot through the ceiling and you'll get hyperglycemic. i prefer to do broths and juices for the same number of days I fasted and then add in light vegetables, etc...i got pho after my first fast to drink the broth and i had like one fork full of noodle. my blood glucose went from 82 mg/dL to 160 mg/dL in 8 minutes and I felt like I was going to pass out. no bueno...
Very informative video. But I was wondering if we should start with a 24hr ( one day) fast first, if we are doing Ok with that then we go for 3 days and go on to 7 days
Paris M From personal experience, I started with Intermittent Fasting first at 16:8 for a week, following week 20:4 and then eased into a 24.
Rebel in the High Castle , that's a very good idea, totally agree with you
here is the deal, if you wish to do prolonged water fasting (and there ARE ZERO hacks for this in case you were wondering) THE ONLY THING MORE CHALLENGING than that is THE PREPARATION for a proper prolonged water fast...and that is a COOKED FOOD FAST...you believe that this is easy, challenge yourself to do 1 week raw...see if you think cooked food has little addictive potential. I will almost guarantee you that it will be the most challenging week you have gone through for awhile. Welcome to the big time, finding out what were made of, knowing yourself. So that is 1 week fully raw fruits n veggies...it's super hard when 99.9% of society hates to eat like that (if appearances are anything) yet also the fact that most of us have super little experience for even a day or two without USELESS (to survival and in fact often it's more like a slow death) cooked foods...then once you see how nearly beyond hard this is, ask yourself WHY? Why would something that is unnecessary to your survival be that ingrained in your life.
All I want to know is what should I start off eating after I come off my 7 day fast, I’m on day 6 right now and reading through the comments some people say start off with bananas, steamed broccoli, cauliflower with a little sea salt, no butter, a little butter. Saw somewhere else to start off with watermelon, melon only. Soups only, someone said mash potatoes, like what do I literally need to start off with, this is my first 7 day water fast, I’ve done 24 hrs before
What do you think of dry omad (drinking all water in that 1 hour time period as well) my friend?
I did 3 42 hour fasts and one 68 hr fast. His experience is about the same as mine, but I remember the hunger actually going up on day three. But felt very good otherwise and slept less like the DR. experienced night. I used distilled water with pink salt. Otherwise no vitamins or coffee or tea, just water. I think I broke the fast eating too much, but DID eat small and wait 3 hours to eat bigger. I used fish and Pickled herring, some pasta and a little bread. Some apple cider vinegar. But for ALL the fasts my stomach felt "heavy" at first and took about four days to be completely back with same stools and no "heavyness". The four days however I was eating more than usual. What is weird and unexpected is that I could "feel" when my metabolism reversed. I felt very weak and nauseous for about 5 - 10 minuets, But then felt fine again but slightly "different" This happened every time in the late afternoon of the first full day.

What's that .
You guys are gifted. How do you guys put salt in your mouth and not want to vomit.?
Hahaha. I'm almost done with my first 3 say fast and I had a pinch of salt yesterday and a pinch today. The pinch yesterday was helpful for the hunger pains. The pinch I took today made me feel nauseous in my stomach for a lil bit.
