I'm continually astounded by the goodness of Dr. Greger's heart and integrity. In a world where so many seek to only profit financially off of a diet/lifestyle narratives and fads, Dr. Greger provides his books, podcasts, videos etc. with 100% of the proceeds going to charity. Millions of dollars straight to charity. Big up Dr.! We need more leaders like yourself. Doing it for the love and not for the cash
It seems to be the only way for me to reliably maintain a healthy weight without obsessively calorie counting. Part of it is that I almost never feel full no matter how much or for how long I eat.
You are a nutritional plant based live quality life healthy authority in my life. Thank you so much for existing.. and thanks to your dear grandmother too.. for without her you may never have taken this path. 😇
Still my number 1 trusted source for any health information. All the rest come a distant second. There is too often a conflict of interest in many other TH-cam channels.
I have been fasting for more than 2 years now and my current streak is 513! (no brake, it's a life style) I have started as intermittent fasting for 12 hours and my average is around 18,7 hours everyday. My eating window is around 5- 6 hours everyday at most. I cut eating around max 15:30 and eat again not before 8:30. Which means I eat most of my calories before midday. I am also a vegetarian following a plant based diet. Being an amateur athlete and training 6 days a week, I thought at the beginning I was going to suffer from exhaustion and not be able to cover my very long runs etc. Truthfully speaking I do my trainings mostly after I eat lastly everyday and don't eat again but go to fasting. I have shredded so much weight but a lot of fat especially from waist area which helped to improve not only my health but also it helped me to built a very disciplined mind. I can go to sleep easily, don't feel hunger at all and as I digested every food before going to sleep, I do not suffer from any sleep breaks etc. Also it improved my athletic performance in time. All of my blood test results are coming more positive, my endurance built up. So I am on the very positive side of fasting and of course balancing this with a very healthy plant based diet...Every body is different so you need to try and find what works for you. Listen to your body it tells you everything you need to know...Hope this helps people who are thinking about it....
@@carlarabbderosa no no definitely not, I am against water fasting. this is only intermittent fasting for food, does not include water, as a mater of fact you should drink more water than ordinary and also '513' is days not hours, hope this clarifies...
Thanks again, Dr. Gregor. Just so grateful for your care, knowledge, your sharing with us! Awesome💕 In regards to Margaret D, I felt the same way the first couple of times that I watched Dr. Gregor. What I came to realize is that I couldn't do my uaual multi-tasking while listening to Dr. Gregor. He takes 100% of my attention. And I have come to totally enjoy the rhythm/flow of Dr. Gregor's talk. It actually brings a smile to my face now and I feel invigorated, informrd & refreshed after listening to him. I hope the same outcome for you.💕
I am an Orthodox Christian, and in the Orthodox Church, "fasting" is abstaining from meat, eggs, dairy, olive oil, fish with backbones, and alcohol. As a convert, it took me a long time to get to that point for Lent, but the first time I did, after a couple weeks I thought "hey, I actually feel pretty good!" It was shortly after that that I learned about a whole-food plant-based lifestyle and realized why. Now I eat *mostly* WFPB, and for Lent my "fasting" is also abstaining from fake desserts. I am glad for all the insight from Nutrition Facts!
Fantastic video as always. Thanks for doing what you do. There was a piece in the Economist last week that suggested the longevity of the Japanese improved when they introduced some cholesterol through red meat and dairy compared with their historic vegetarian diet. If I remember correctly, heart disease increased but strokes decreased leading to a net increase. Would love to know what you think about this?
If memory serves the improvement in stroke risk seems to be primarily due to the insanely high salt content of the traditional Japanese diet, when you eat foods based on a more western or indian style of cooking you won't usually use as much salt or high salt condements to season the food which can lower blood pressure and by extension stroke risk. If memory serves the study didn't actually indicate a significant improvement in overall life expectancy from consuming more animal products.
I'm at my best, with the least symptoms from secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, when I eat whole plants - veggies, fruits, legumes, nuts, and seeds. I naturally fast every night for a minimum of 12 hours. Eat nutrient rich and you don't have to do all this math to be healthy. 💯🌱💪🏽
What happened to the podcast on Google Podcasts? It shows up but when I try to play it it says something went wrong. On this one and the next one you released.
He mentioned in a recent Q&A sessions that like sugar = 100% processed carbohydrates, oil = 100% processed fat, protein powders should be avoided as 100% processed proteins. He recommended eating beans and lentils instead. 😀
Michael I was wondering if you can find anything on cystic fibrosis? Information appears somewhat limited, and the nutritional recommendations are very high amounts of fat, and the golden arches.
He explains in many videos that high cholesterol is of course caused by eating foods containing cholesterol meaning meat, fish, dairy and eggs. Eating a whole foods plant-based diet lowers cholesterol. Look up Doctor Gregor cholesterol. He also made this video talking about what seems to be the most incredibly effective thing on earth to lower cholesterol, check it out :) th-cam.com/video/hNj6V7kIqGY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NutritionFacts.org
I really like Dr. Gregor, but I wish he'd just talk normally like he does when he's being interviewed. I find the exaggerated way of speaking more difficult to follow and I don't like missing even one syllable!
In that case you simply unsubscribe from his channel or stop listening to him. As simple as that! Never really understood how can certain individuals be so f986?=g egocentric and plain rude as to PUBLICLY, unabashedly and completely unwarrantedly air their whiny whims, targeting a TRUE philanthropist who´s made his life mission to help people....You disgust me....
@@HybridCultures There are some of us who have difficulties in hearing. So sorry that our disabilities offend you. Perhaps when you get old and things aren't always easy, you'll understand. Until that time - and even during that time - I wish you well.
Socrates, Hippocrates, Plato all knew the benefits of fasting. It’s also in the Bible. Incredibly healthy and beneficial. Knowledge cannot replace wisdom.
Stranger, I don't know that you would trust me, but I tell you dry fasting is not healthy and dangerous. More, not less water must be consumed during fasts, and b complex and other water soluble vitamin and electrolyte supplementation during fasting is no detriment to the benefits of a fast, and encourages both health and fat oxidation.
Experience? Perhaps it is not clear to me how one could dry fast without becoming dehydrated. Digestion stops once water consumption stops. With the amounts of fiber one is to consume on a WFPB diet, digestion issues would commence unless all food has been cleared through the digestive tract, but such a state is itself unhealthy. The gut microbiota requires water. Moreover, it is healthier to exercise while one fasts, but injury comes about when dehydrated. Fasting for more than 24hrs, it is understandable that one drinks much, much less beyond this point, because of lack of digestion, but some should be beneficial. Kidneys cannot function without water consumption, which take urea out and filter our blood. Brain dehydration impairs cognition, can mimic appetite. For long fasts, supplementation is necessary, and some water aids in absorption.
@@darrenparis8314 When one fasts fat is burned and water is released (as fat stores water). I have gone over 3 days without water and was still urinating about once a day, sometimes large amounts that surprised me; all while hiking an average of 5 miles/day. I certainly don't recommend anyone doing this without extensive preparation and knowledge of your own body. After my dry fasts I always feel amazing and renewed. You said brain dehydration impairs cognition (and I 100% agree) yet during my dry fasts I always think so much clearer.
Stranger In a Strange Land There are many other routes that I would exhaust before considering dry fasting. It could be very dangerous and should only be done with close medical supervision.
is it just me or the way he talks is super distracting? the weirdly timed ups and downs of intonation... same with speed... it's like the spongebob meme. If he has some speech impediment then I'm very sorry :D
I love the information and what you are all about, but your cadence is so unnatural that I can never finish the whole video. Why not just talk normally?
How is it possible not to find enough volunteers to test fasting? Millions do this! Is it because no one from the food or other industry benefits from fasting?

I feel my best physically and mentally when intermittent fasting (only eating during an 8 hour period each day)

why does he sound so weird?
Thanks for this. It's very hard to find discussions of fasting that don't paint it as either a panacea or sheer lunacy.
Thanks as always dr Greger x

Great Info!
Hey Menachem Begin, since when did you become an expert in fasting?
Great content but the audio seems to be popping? Do you use pop filter?
Please discuss senescent cells and autophagy in regards to fasting in a future video but was not mentioned in this fasting video.
Fastiinating.
Can you do a video on eczema? Thank you

Follow-up question on fasting: how about for women who are pregnant and/or breastfeeding? Would it be recommended? Thank you! :)
no, dont try it.
@@JoaquinBarjauVallet,
And what about fasting? :)
Micheal, I know they're not all vegan but I'd be interested to know what you think of vegetarian proteins such as Quorn?
He mentioned in a recent Q&A sessions that like sugar = 100% processed carbohydrates, oil = 100% processed fat, protein powders should be avoided as 100% processed proteins. He recommended eating beans and lentils instead. 😀
Michael I was wondering if you can find anything on cystic fibrosis? Information appears somewhat limited, and the nutritional recommendations are very high amounts of fat, and the golden arches.
There is evidence that fasting affects aging as well, that should be mentioned as well because that can affect non communicable disease risk as well
You are an inspiration Dr. Greger!!!
Can I translate it into Russian for my Chanel?
Great podcast.
The background music is really annoying though.
You don't know, until you put it to the test..!

Have you tried niacin ? I take SloNiacin and vitamin K2 .

It seems that the upshot is that eating plants is fasting....
Sound is horrible
