"Fasting-- Nobody makes money with it, because there's nothing to sell."
Thanks for pointing this out Keith.
Kind of like religion!
@@AZ-kr6ff not rly cus ppl make lots and lots of money off that and always have
@@sreyagazi
I think that was my point, haha
People sell electrolytes
Fasting is severely underrated
Muslims do it for a month each year. Apparently as a practice it has some ancient Middle Eastern roots, Sumerians used to do it as well.
@DJ Leeman google or youtube the benefits of fasting, tons of resouces will come up
@DJ Leeman Well here is one prevalent theory: Whenever one eats (especially true if sugar/carbohydrates) there is a degree of inflammation that arises throughout the body. If you ever have the time look up how dopamine and serotonin (both neurotransmitters responsible for mood/behaviour/learning/memory) are affected by diet (This'll really blow your mind!). Anyways when you fast for a certain number of hours you are essentially giving your body a rest, allowing it to focus on other problems that it may/may not have. Anytime of inflammation is hazardous to our health and if we can decrease the amount of inflammation we have this can potentially prolong our life span. There is a lot of evidence based research out there to provide weight to this theory
@@Danjacytes this is a bit wrong. Inflammation is good and bad for you depending on the situation. If its to kill foreign bodies and invaders, inflammation is actually very good. If its too destroy healthy cells or in autoimmune disorders its very bad. However, you're correct in saying many of our foods that we eat are detrimental and cause unnecessary inflammatry responses that are bad.
@@loverofhumanity
Chronic inflammation is always bad...
"I think we live in a society" - GSP
I'm finishing a 3-day fast today. Feels exactly like George described.
This interview is a truly high expression of TH-cam’s potential. Listening to Georges Saint Pierre, an articulate and profoundly confident MMA fighter is a mind changing experience. Big thank you to the interviewer and to Georges.
Its true, as much as i hate the negatives of social media- ive learned sooooo much through it
Thank you to all Georges everywhere
I love how he always acknowledge Dr. Fung.
Love how Geeorges says in one ear and out the other
I did a full 3 day water fast and day 2 and 3 (first day is tough) I exercised so damn intense with so much energy... when I broke my fast I didnt even want to I felt so good... watching this video just made me promise myself that I'm gonna do another 3 days a couple days after I get home back to US... need a few days to get settled after plane
Cool
did you eat food or no food?
I went for 9 days water fasting 3 years ago. Yes the first 3 days were brutal, It's just matter of having the fortitude to do it.
3 days is a good goal.
It just gets so boring after that. I did 5 days and i remember just thinking how tasting flavors is such a big part of life.
Even when you're not hungry during the fast, you just want to taste something.
@@anonnymous31
No.
There is something empowering about knowing you can survive without food for more than a couple of days, and there's a lot of health benefits associated with the reactions in your body when you stop eating for a short period. Not a lot of people have the mental strength to deal with hunger. Food is our biggest drug.
The hyperactivity GSP mentions is, according to a conversation I listened to with Dr. Peter Atta (if I remember correctly) was your brain telling you to get up and go hunt for food.
Attia is elite.
Similar to why people with a near-death experience report seeing their past life flashing before their eyes; as the brain's oxygen supply fails it looks through memories to maybe find a last-minute way to survive. And the "bright light" is a consequence of the eyes shutting down to conserve energy.
You're not even close to death despite your body telling you to look for food after 5 days.
@@dbjmk8083 That would depend on the person.
@@JoeCiliberto ye, some people shouldn't fast. I'm talking for people who are medically cleared to fast.
Your doctor won’t tell you, but fasting is the best thing you can do for your health
I’m a doctor and I tell patients about it all the time
There’s no money to be made by telling people to fast
Isn't fasting just a tool for losing weight?
@@satellite3253 there isn’t much long term research, since there’s no money in it, but there theories fasting can be cancer fighting
You know what’s good too? Eat healthy and moderate portions
I did a 3 day, 4 day, and 4.5 day fast...over the course of 1.5 years...best experiences ever...
I have been doing one meal a day (cut out soda, fruit juice, rice, bread, pasta) and a monthly 3-day, water-only fast since 2015. Absolute game changer in terms of health benefits. Not even a simple cold since then. I wish I would have been aware of this years ago.
Nice! Did you catch covid at at all? I just started my first 24 hr water fast.
@@djwatson : I haven't had so much as a sniffle since 2015. I don't mask or jab, but I am also under the age of 50 with no comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes, COPD. I am also on a regimen of Vitamins C, D, Zinc and Quercetin and I wash my hands regularly. Let your immune system do what it is designed to do and avoid the junk foods/drinks.
@@KayFabe87 That's the way to do it! Thanks for the reply.
and here I am watching this during Ramadan fast, which is 15 hours long
with no food and water
ramadan is only a 15 hour long fast? idk why i always thought it was longer then that.
@@inhonorofbballowner no food from sunrise till the sunsets. Ones the soon goes to sleep mode you can eat. But for 30 days. April 13-May13
@@inhonorofbballowner Depends a lot of people just eat one big meal after sunset so it can be a 23 hour fast. But the hardest part is no water or liquids
it's coming soon again! alhamdulillah
Lex and GSP … Awesome!
I did this twice , third day was very light. I was copying a lady who was 103 Years in age she use to do this.
Half of India keeps fast for 7 days before the start of summer as well as winter, it’s a part of celebrating festivals.
And than goes and eats sweets for 7 days made out of palm oil and sugar and spices , 95 percentage of ppl in India are overweight
I have fasted a few times and had good experiences with it but this is helping me to think about instituting it in my life regularly…
1:06 Dr Jason Fung? The nephrologist?
Me, too. IF changed everything about my life five years back. I'm healthier, have way more clean energy to go about my days. Like GSP, wished I'd know about it in the 2000s ...
So we’re talking 3 days straight here, with just water?
And you have MORE energy??
Was that a Borat impression at 0:47?
The hyperactivity mode absolutely is true. I can't sleep if I do a fast so I can only last for ~ 18 hours.
3 days water fast 4x/year is actually perfect. I’m an intermittent faster and open my fast 1-2 hours per day but have never thought to try 2 or 3 day fasts. Given I don’t even get hungry or phased by a 24 hour fast I’ll try doing 2 days. Great idea. 2 days 4 times a year is probably enough to maintain a healthy weight
If you do OMAD/24h then 72h is a walk in the park - it's just so boring
@@diogeneslantern18
It's anything but boring.
Or as tito would say: 3 years a year he fasts 4 days and out of these 1 day he fasts 2 years a day
I broke my mind trying to read this 😂
I dont really fast anything that much these days anymore, ever
Diagnosed with moderate UC, change to a whole food plant based diet and my symptoms went away after a week. I waas shitting 6-9 times a day before that and that was 8 years ago-no blood since. I also started Wim Hof method so I am sure that helps a lot too, but the diet seemed to work alone.
Yes
Try the master cleanse fast - it's not far off of a water fast. You can go a long time.
Fasting nobody makes money with it,genius
I used to do it for two days. But I did find I had to minimise my exercise to have energy. I was doing chemo at the time though:) It takes some stress off kidneys liver with digesting. Drink electrolyte drinks and bone broths.
Some expert believes that when you body is in Ketonik state, It will consume any damage cells. How are doing anyway? I hope you are okay and 100%.
Respect to you. Hope you're well
I've been doing intermittent fasting on and off for a few years now. Currently been doing again for 2 months. I think this time I will just stay om permanently.
I do it where I just eat once a day and honestly it's super easy. I don't really get very hungry anymore and I don't have to eat anything specific. I don't constantly think about my next meal.
I do want to try the 3 day fast but the most I've gone so far is about 27hrs. I have to mark a date to get prepared mentally, but in a weird eay I'm looking forward to it.
I don't do it to lose weight though as I have a similar physique to these guys. I'm doing it for anti ageing.
Honestly the first 24 hours are the hardest. I do 48 hour fast every 7 days and 72 hour every 30 days. Day 2 is is easier but I do get some stomach rumbling at day 3, other than that it's fine. The trick is to keep your self busy, if I sit at home on my fasting days I keep thinking about food a lot that's why I rather extend my time between fasting so it falls on my working days and not weekends.
One thing fasting really taught me is that it's okay to be hungry. And as someone who use to be very overweight, i feel thats very important.
Day 1, let’s see how this goes GSP
st-Pierre is a badass and look at him with a suit like lex I believe he did that to be respectfully
I've lost 40 pounds in no time fasting weekly for 2-4 days.
I just finished my first 36 hour fast. My mind feels really sharp, but damn did i get weak physically.
undertaker convention ....talking about starving ones self
I did it once! I felt so focused and my mind was so clear 👍
I finished a 3-day fast yesterday; I`ve been carnivore for 4 days before that. But I ate 200 carbs yesterday. I might just fast 3 days again right now. I think 3 days is the sweet spot. Much more healing than 2 days, but hardly any less than 4 days. (IMHO)
I fast 72 hrs every week and I do HIIT 5 hrs a week with 62 years on my back.
Just peeeerfect !!!!!
Maybe if you posted some of that content on YT you would do well? Just a thought
That's a pretty rigorous discipline; how long have you been doing it for?
One year and 2.5 years of keto
@@akibchoudhury7507 discipline, perseverance, treating your body as a temple given to you and enyoing what you do might get you there.
Don be afraid and do it !!!
Watching this on hour 47 on my 72 hour fast and can say it’s true what he’s saying. It’s not easy but the will power this gives you and all the benefits are crazy good.
Can I still drink coffee and take some magnesium for the cramps?
03:01 we live in a society 😞
what was he diagnosed with?
I think he said ulcerative colitis.
I fast twice every month.
These fasts are the most ridiculous things I've ever heard as a construction worker. I mean, I guess I could do it on the weekends, but that's when I recover and rest.
People just need to focus on drinking water and not juice, and mostly meat instead of bread on the daily. But people are stupid and just want sugar. Oh well.
That’s true actually, Nobody makes money with fasting that’s why not many recommended.
I do the same. But for a week and with water only. Good for the soul.
Just get thirsty
just did 72hours no calories.
did he specify how many hours a day he fasts?
16 fast, 8 eating
@@lando2519 no my friend, he doesn't eat at all for 3 days
@@plainphantom2920 everyday he does intermittent fasting, which is 16 hours fast 8 hours eating, usually one big meal a day, and then he does a 72 hour water fast 4 times a year, did you watch the video?
I think I can take Geroge
Geroge, sure. But Georges St Pierre? Unless you're Khabib or Kamaru Usman I respectfully doubt it :-)
Lol stop this. I've trained in MMA for over 10 years and know GSP would destroy me in under 2 minutes.
Charles hoskinson 😂
Take him where? To the gym when he hires you as his Uber driver?
Lex's 3 day fast video has been removed..
Great accent, he is french?
french canadian yes ma’am
the interviewer got trouble concentrating on the topic!
I fast multiple times a year waiting for that paycheck to hit, 3 days are amateur numbers.
Pure water fasts are sketch, you should maintain your electrolytes with salt and potassium, magnesium powders for fasts longer than 48 hours, otherwise you can struggle with refeeding syndrome when you start eating again.
Good point. I'm observing Ramadhan and although this wasn't much of a problem in previous years I now find it extremely difficult to refeed once opening the fast. Can't imagine how this must feel after 48-72 hours with no food or water.
Correct. I have to much daltand calcium in my diet, when I eat, so I take electrolytes as magnesium and potassium when fasting
What is refeeding syndrome?
Oh wow this is interesting, please tell me more. Is it the electrolyte and mineral balance that help with that after breaking a 72 hr fast? Because I know I (stupidly) broke my fast with a regular large meal. Has since done a bit of research on the topic. Slow and steady introduction of mostly liquid foods to begin with.
@@laalaajonsen from what I understand from a layman point of view is that the body is very good at adapting to different environmental stimulus. When the body is on a pure water fast it readjusts its requirements for electrolytes because no electrolytes are coming in. It pulls electrolytes from your fat and muscle and tries to recycle them through your kidneys. When you break a pure water fast recklessly the body doesn't have a chance to adapt and the recycled electrolytes rush back into the cells which is a massive system stress. The big concern with the refeed is if you were pure water fasting, from watching keto/carnivore/fasting groups/ my own experiences a lot of people can still eat solids first thing after a salt and electrolyte water fast, the thing is to manage the portion. I cant vouch for breaking an electrolyte water fast with processed food, never done and I don't recommend it.
Muslims compulsory fast One month straight once a year.
Then additional optional either every Monday and/or Thursday weekly, or three days monthly.
There is also fasting on alternate days. Meaning if you fast today, you don't fast tomorrow, but you fasting again on the next day.
“i think we live in a societ-“ and then i shut off the video
Fasting causes ed and serious health risk, its not recommended to fast more than 72 hours. And ontop of that his doing omad?? Thats a recipe for malnourishment. Its not safe for everyone, like anemics, diabetics, for various mental disorders etc. An electrolyte imbalance could literally cause cardiac arrest, hypoglycemia, low blood sugar, its just not worth it. Like no shit hes fit if hes barely eating and keeps himself active its easy to get slim. The optimal diet for omnivores is balanced diet of meat, eggs, dairy and forage plant foods. 2 or 3 times a day. No mono meals or excess of any food group. No excess salt, fat, or sugar. U dont need exercise just keep yourself up and moving is great for blood, brain, bone yes.
I am the first view lol sup Lex
welcome to islam george
You’re not going to get muscle from fasting. That is ridiculous. Your body will actually start feeding on your muscles very quickly and you’ll most likely lose muscle, therefore some doctors recommend eating some form of protein during a fast in order to reduce the muscle degradation.
I disagree, as long as you use the muscles mildly during a fast, the body wont eat your muscles, sure maybe the glycogen will be extinguished, but after eating your first few meals you will go straight back to your former state, and you will have lost most of your dependensies of sugar and karbs :D
Wrong. Do some research before spouting bullshit. HGH rises on day 3 of fasting causing muscle sparing.
No true! There are studies saying the opposite!
Well, if you fast (but not under-eat which can lead to starvation mode), you can preserve muscle. But building muscle is still nonsensical. If you want to build (non-necessary, energetically expensive) tissue, you need to be overfed, that is quite obvious.
@@aquarius9043 That is not true. You can build muscle and lose weight. That myth comes from the correct fact that people with alot of muscle cant build muscle while losing weight and therfore i cant too. I have done this myself. Its called recomp. You eat alot of protein and slowly cut while training well. Its pretty easy tbh.
And muslims around the world fasts a full month in a year😎😎😎😎
But they don't...
Seriously? You don’t even know Ramadan rules ? Eating after sunset is not a fasting
So u do not eat at night as well?
Fasting during the day and feasting at night is not the same as "fasting for a full month", or even fasting for a few days straight.
A 16 years old muslim kid fasts 30 days a year even GSP cant do it , we are blessed whit this religion love peace healt happiness heaven inchaalah ( alhamdoulilah )
He's not talking about not eating for 16h and then, gorging yourself every night. He's talking about not eating anything for 3 days.
