Great info. Thanks. I do a 7 day fast once a year, intermittent every day and try to fast 48 hours per week. Keto mostly for the rest. Currently in day 5 of my annual 7 day adventure and feeling amazing!!
I've done 2, 3 day fasts and going into a 5 day fast in 2 days. My recommendation if someone is healthy and thinking about fasting, do not start with anything longer than 3 days fast. Also, to ease the fast, my suggestion is cut sugars out of your diet for 2 days before you start. If you are hungry and have a sugar crash at the same time, that's tough....
Your initial video on the 7 day fast motivated me to do my own 3 day fast (maybe longer). I'm on day 3 out of 3 today, so I can eat dinner tonight if I want to finish the fast. I got some training exercise on Tuesday otherwise I would probably just keep going. I am an American soldier stationed in germany but I have been supporting nato in an old soviet base in slovakia. I been struggling with packing on weight at 38 years old. I have been intermittent fasting for years. But never could get under 2015 lbs since 2018. Living here made me get upto 231lbs when I watched your video 3 days ago. I made a vow not to go back to my high-school weight of 230 again. I am above average athleticism, I run 3 miles every other day and about 10 to 15 miles on the weekend. But I always was heavy set. The gov feed us very processed food kept in frozen boxes and re heated. The problem is the proportion are small (excpet we got unlimited snacks) and I am constantly hungry so I mostly fail at intermittent fasting. This fast was way easier than I expected but that might be due to experience with fasting in the past. I was OMAD most of 2021. I think it harder in the past to just go 24 hours without eating than this current 3 day fast. Maybe it's my desperation to get below 230lbs. But thank you for your video. It was the extra push I needed to start this challenge.
I had the exact same experience fasting for 6 and a half days. I started around 180 lbs and my lowest was 166, which rebounded to 174 after a few days..
People that say it's dangerous, almost always addicted to carbs, often no muscle definition, know nothing of human biology, have not burned ketones since they were infants, in our mothers we are run 100% on ketones, on breast milk we are running on ketones, so please explain how ketones are dangerous?
Great vids man. Im on day 3 of 7 myself right now. Did a 5 day juice fast last year, now trying a 7 day water fast after integrating intermittent fasting into my life. We have similar body builds (you have more muscle than me though), so this was very helpful. I'm consistently down 25 lbs over 2 years and feeling good. Just did a half marathon Spartan race last year after 6 leg surgeries. Thanks for all the motivation
I would guess that you weren't hungry a few days into the fast because your body became accustomed to receiving less food. No wonder the first few days are the hardest to get through. Nice job on completing the one week fast.👍 It's something I could not do, or else my training would likely suffer. 😂 Very informative overall.
Yes I don’t think it’s wise to carry out a long fast if you’re an endurance athlete. it’s fascinates me how amazing our bodies are and their ability to adapt. 😀
Once in Ketosis (usually 3days) same amount of time to detox from drugs. Ketosis causes your body to burn it's own body fat for energy instead of carbs & sugar. So yeah we carry around 100k excess calories at all times. Search Dr Goldhammer.
Thank you for both your videos on fasting, I watched the one showing you doing the fast while on day one, I am now on day 4 of a water fast and these videos help so much. I am doing it for health & spiritual reasons, however the drop in weight is a nice bonus for me 💚
My reasons were also health, mindset and spirituality I think they will help you succeed far more than weight loss. Good luck on your journey you are almost there 😀
Pete, do you remember how much water you were drinking daily? When I first started my first water fast, I was drinking a gallon and a half a day and was dehydrated. I discovered Core Hydration water and was good with half a gallon per day.
I was drinking 2/3 litres a day, I was the same the previous times I fasted drinking heaps and not feeling hydrated. Adding the sodium and baking soda made all the difference for me.
Ive just started a water fast too, definitely having trouble sleeping at night, have had the odd headache here and there, so far ive only felt light headed once, but im still pushong through, im on day 3 now of the fast
I struggle to make it past the 4 day mark, twice now I've made it to 100 hours and then broken it. I'm currently on day 4, again, and going for 7. Super lightheaded today and it's wet and cold outside so I'll be taking it easy.
Hello Pete. That was very educational thanks 🙏 can you still take medication at nighttime when you fast 💨 to the younger viewers that want to fast 💨 can you skip breakfast 🥞 and then build it up from there.
I am not a professional so I am just guessing but I would assume it's fine to continue taking medication if you need it but that would be best spoken to a doctor about. I would definitely suggest starting slow as it can be difficult especially at the start. 😊
I was hovering around 100 kilos and I did Keto for about 7 months, felt great. I lost 20 kilos, and then pandemic happened, lost my job and got deppressed. Because of that I stopped my Keto diet and gone back to my eating habit. I gained almost all the weight I lost before I know it. I addressed the set back by doing 10 1/2 days of water fasting with a cheat of black coffee with 1 teaspoon of stivea sugar. Lost 9 kilos before breaking my fast for 1 week and now I am on my 3rd day of my 7 day of my water fasting. My overhaul plan is to go back on 2 meals per day Keto diet for 1 week followed by 1 week of 1 meal a day with carbs. Its a trial and error see what's works.
Sounds like you have a lot of will power but maybe you would be better just being in a slight calorie deficit? It would take longer to lose the weight but should be more sustainable.
I understand this is gonna sound like a dumb question since I understand it’s a water only fast, but did u add anything to your water like minerals ? Also any vitamins ? Or literally just water ? Also did u calculate the amount of ounces u needed?
Depends on how you feel I suppose, I used it as a recovery week as I didn't want to push myself when I am not eating but I have seen some people so it's your decision but I would say it's best to listen to your body during the fast. 😊
Don't do strenuous exercise...it's just gonna make you hungry and it's a lousy way to lose weight...for instance it takes a three mile run to burn off one candy bar...you can lose weight laying in bed!!
You can just drink water or you can also use electrolytes and yes no eating. I go into much greater detail in the full video - th-cam.com/video/YjTTUWHTAKM/w-d-xo.html

Amazing work mate, yea the booze hunger can definitely be a diet killer. Sounds like your are making great progress and have the mindset and motivation to reach your goals. 😀
@@PeteOnPurpose what about magnesium and zinc as our body runs out of zinc after 4 days of fasting, do u suggest taking electrolyte powders👍 Btw great job, keep uploading
@@user-gl1lr9xg1f I didn’t take any magnesium or zinc for this fast but they are probably beneficial. I think for a one off fast it’s not so important but if you intend on fasting regularly than making sure you have the right supplements is important
Im not sure what you mean by 'cravings vs hungry'. You didn't eat for 7 days... believe me... you were hungry... the definition of hunger is basically just a feeling that you physically need food. So if you feel weaker, more tired, or you feel hunger pangs... yeah.. you're hungry.
I mean I was able to identify the difference between feeling hungry and simply having food cravings as sometimes I have a small breakfast and then think I am 'starving' hours late when really I am most likely just craving some food and not really hungry.
@@AdamIsMyNameO haha I see what you mean, the definition of hungry is a difficult one. For me personally it means being genuinely hungry eg have not eaten for a extended period of time over having a biscuit because I crave some chocolate.
@@PeteOnPurpose right, I think it just gets kind of nebulous when we start saying “not hungry” when you haven’t eaten in days… because by the definition you just gave, you definitely were ‘hungry’ even if you didn’t sense hunger.
