My Fasting Results - Bone Broth Fasting Finale - Thomas DeLauer
I just finished up a three day fast, a three day bone broth fast literally last night and those of you that have been following me know that this has been a challenge that I put out to my community to do it alongside with me. Overall, we had close to 100,000 people that did this bone broth fast. That is phenomenal, but anyway, the reason that I did this was to pioneer some self-experimentation. I wanted to learn some things, but I also wanted to document my own results. I wanted to document some of the data, some of the glucose, some of the ketones, but learn from this process. Because one of the things I like to instill in my entire following is that they can always self-experiment because every single person has a level of bio-individuality. Research and data is great, but honestly, it's just research, it's not the end all be all. We have to know what works for us.
So all in all with this recap, I found that a bone broth fast is significantly harder than a traditional fast. Not a bad thing, I just noticed that it was harder. Now the reason is is because I think was consuming something. Even that small amount of calories triggered a little bit of an insulin response, making it so that I was hungry or than I normally would be. Now that's not necessarily a bad thing, we are still getting the digestive benefit and overall I felt phenomenal. I just noticed that it was a little bit different because I had a meal to look forward to so I think I was triggering my own sort of dopamine response, anticipating something, anticipating that next meal. So I actually ended up consuming a little bit less bone broth than I thought I would because I found every time I consumed it, it just triggered up cravings.
All right, so it's 5:30 on Day One. I've got myself my Starbucks cold brew with water, so just the concentrate just to get a nice quick shot of caffeine. I'm about to go hit a full body time under tension workout, focus more so on like the hamstrings, posterior chain, glutes, calves, a little bit of hips. Obviously some quads and the rest of the body just for small volume. So I went ahead and tested my blood glucose this morning. It was astronomically high, it was 95 which is pretty high for me. I shouldn't say astronomically but fasted glucose, that's pretty high and it probably has something to do with the fact that I allowed myself to have some Halo Top enlightened ice cream last night just because I knew I wasn't gonna be eating for three days.
What I wanted to make sure that I did throughout this entire fast was try to train as I normally would. I didn't want to change or modify a whole lot of things, so I stuck to my normal training, which is pretty high intensity so Monday I ended up hitting more of a leg-dominant workout. It was a full body routine with more of a focus on legs and I ended up hitting a little bit of high intensity interval training just because I felt like I had the energy to and I wanted to push it as much as I could to be able to test my strength over the next couple of days and see what my relative strength was like.
Now I did have some carbs this morning, so I would imagine that my ketones aren't super high anymore. So all in all what I've learned from this is that when you are fat-adapted, your body changes, period. During a prolonged fast, we can see how this actually affects us, how our cells do interesting things and how our body adapts to lower levels of blood sugar by of course creating ketones but also protecting the brain and protecting the central nervous system by generating enough glucose.
Now what I do want to say is you may not have participated in this fast. You may not have really done it yourself but just enjoyed following it, but I will say that Kettle & Fire has been a huge sponsor of this and because of this video and because of this entire challenge, they are still offering up their full fasting bundle. So all you have to do is click down in the link below and you can get their fasting bundle and take advantage of a massive amount of bone broth that can get you through a bone broth fast. Because honestly, we need to bring awareness to prolonged fasting. Anyone can do it, it's tremendous for your health, obviously I feel like a million bucks after breaking my fast. I have energy, I didn't have to eat much, I had an amazing workout this morning, and I feel mentally clear.
So as always, make sure you're keeping it locked in here on my channel. As always also, make sure you post any comments or questions down below and I'll see you in the next video.

I just want to say thank you. I've lost almost 50 pounds with your videos and you helped me change my life. Thank you Thomas and please keep it.
I did it! I learned so much about me and hunger.
My 3 day keto bone broth fast ended this morning. I lost almost 3 pounds and had great ketones at 1.0++
Here's what I learned:
I can do it
I felt mostly fine
Hunger isn't fun
I'm lucky to have food
Rock on!
Victor Yepello congratulations 🙌 i didn't know about it , or i would have done it.
Molly Wolly if you go to the video about Day 1 that tells you how to do it. It's easy.
DDDE44
Dude! Believe what you want but he's not into steroids and he discloses ALL of his cooperating supporters. It's how he get paid for spending many hours each week giving us good accurate and safe content.
@@DDDE44 You absolute uneducated simpleton , you dont need steroids to increase test or hgh , fasting and absence of carbs or IF increases hgh and test , stfu
Now this is what every mentor on social media should do, experiment with themselves, record changes, try to scientifically explain with all the prior knowledge they have, and be complete honest about it. Thanks a lot, excellent video.
As crazy as it sounds, dry fasting is actually one of the easiest things unless you're being physically active. Other than that, it feels very blissful and burns a ton of fat.
Do what works, I say!
Siim Land - Hi Slim. Personally I’m dead set against a dry fast. I think you should have a way to flush toxins. But that’s just my personal opinion and I wish you all the best of luck.
Even If you are physically active dry fasting is still easy. In fact much easier than wet fast. We use to play football during the day of Ramadan while we are dry fasting and nothing bad ever happened to us
@@gliderrider if you fast regularly you shouldn't be to toxic. I wouldn't worry so much
@@gliderrider The body removes toxins through its gastrointestinal tract.
Did great during the 3 day bone broth fast, went from 184 to 177..... My problem was I was stupid with how I broke my fast (take out) and caused a LOT of inflammation which sucks when you have spinal stenosis....
Here's to being smarter next time
5 days bone broth 4.8 ketones were my highest. Lost 12.5 lbs. Had weight to lose. 5 lbs shy of 100 lbs. Lowered my blood pressure. That was rough, but I do feel great.
Did you add fats like mct oil or did you only drink bone broth and how many cups a day?
What did you put in your broth ? And how many cups a day ?
Why are people saying how bone broth fast has helped with weight loss but when you ask how many of the soup they had in a day they don't answer at all, very upsetting how will we get the benefits as well 🤔😭😭
@@lifeiseverything9 ask for your money back. That’s not fair.
@@resenhasdoflow7868
I have the home made bone broth now, coz the supermarket bone broth is very little amount and smells bad and tastes horrible plus very expensive.
Cute kid! Expecting our first in 2 months. Seeing you hike around with him gets me excited for our future adventures!
The broth actually filled me up. I’m on day two and so far I’m doing great. A little lightheaded but nothing major. Thanks for this video.
BellaFucci hi! What did you put in your broth ? And how many cups a day ?
Thank you Thomas for this challange, it was exactly what I needed at the moment, I did 65 hours bone broth fast, but I break my fast because I was cold and shaking, I felt wonderful and no hunger att all and I lost 2 kilos. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Jordan-Aqaba!👍
After losing 263lbs in the last 1.5 years the last 4-6 months have been difficult for me with doing great during the week but binging on the weekends. Not losing any more weight and going up and down during each week. On the 3rd day of my fast now and adding two more. Lost 15lbs so far. Going to use that momentum to get into a Keto while tracking calories moving forward and using it as a "restart" towards my weight loss goals.
How did it go?
Stomach confusion ha
Your son adores you
Look how he smiles at you and pats your chest
How beautiful
I lost 11 pounds, broke my plateau! Today is my 4th day. I will be breaking my fast this morning with something light. Then I will eat several hours later. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 my #s all look great & I didn’t feel hungry at all. Honestly had a lot more energy & a clear mentality. 😎
Love your content Thomas.
Thanks for all your help Thomas. I lost 100 lbs years ago and have maintained but every time I try to do low carb I would go 2 weeks and then binge on Taco Bell. Since learning about keto from you I have not cheated 1 time in 5 weeks. Only down 5 lbs but definitely feel better and not obsessing over food. Thanks
I'm glad I could help!
Thomas is the man and one of the big inspirations for me to start my channel. Yep bone broth is AWESOME. Especially if you have a compromised gut / digestive ailments / autoimmune disease! Keep doing your thing Thomas
Thanks, man! I appreciate it
This was incredibly helpful, Thomas! I started my 3 day fast with bone broth but decided to drop it the first night after it made me hungry. It is very relieving to know you had the same experience. Overall, you should do more of these self-experimentation style videos. Science is one thing but personal experience is where the rubber hits the road.
Oh wow, he is adorable! Great job to you and the folks who followed along. I'm happy with the 16-18 hour IF right now, but this is all super interesting. I learn way too much from you! Thank you!
Recovery from workouts is also super fast because of the increased fat mobilization and higher cholesterol
Are you saying, it's ok to workout hard while fasted because recovery happens faster? I thought the muscles needed carbs and protein for building and recovery and this only happens during the re-feed time. Is the bone broth enough nutrition? Can heavy work outs be done on a water only fast with quick recovery times too? Should we take BCA's while fasting? Would they even work without food?
Thanks for chargin our lives Thom!
Today is day three for me. I have not noticed an increase in hunger over regular fasting, I do feel a bit stronger in my workouts over regular fasting.
Thank you, this has been really fun to follow!
It all comes down to bioindividuality. Thanks for being here!
Cool to have this kind of real world experience documented for us. Thanks!
All the videos in the world won't help without a practical application
Hi Thomas, I did the bone broth fast for just 24 hours. Fasting is pretty hard on my body. I find I get very fatigued even though I keep my electrolytes up. Thanks for taking me along for the ride on the 1st day. Thanks as always for your great videos!!
I stumbled across this video because I wanted to learn the effects of bone broth, but discovered you, one of the most informed fitness Professionals I've ever listened to! I haven't learned this many new fitness terms in a long time, Sub'd!
I just ordered the fasting packs from K&F for my own EF. Thanks for the inspiration! I'll post my results, just as you asked, so that the community can benefit. Thanks again!
Looking forward to it!
Your results make me so happy, as I have the same big swings with fasting, feeding, with both weight and blood numbers.
Glad I could shed some light!
Completely outstanding with your videos as always. Keep up the great work.
I mix my week with 4 hrs of eating 20 hour fasting, OMAD, 1 day 8 hrs of eating 16 hr fast, and 1 day no fasting. The results have been awesome.
Your learning curve explained is tremendous value for those like me who have yet to endeavor this trek.
That was the goal. Thank you for watching!
90 hours, great group suport, thank you Thomas!
You're very welcome!
Thanks for the update and reflection on the 3 day fast. I will post my results tomorrow. 👍
Can't wait to hear about it!
Please do more challenges like this I really enjoyed it .
I'm working on it!
It was very very interesting experiment to follow ! Thanks for doing great work, and Merry Christmas for everyone !
Merry Christmas!
Appreciate you breaking this down, Thomas!
Thanks for watching!!
Very interesting experiment. It would be amazing if you could collect some data from other people that did the fast along with you and round up some info with a larger group of people and try and see how the results compare
Thanks for sharing your n=1 experiment!
I'm going to do a bone broth fast 27th-31st Dec. Planning to make 2019 a year of fat adaptation!
Merry Christmas, Thomas, Amber and Tommy! (Just beautiful they way Tommy gazed at you with pure joy and love in the hiking clip!) Arohanui (big love) from New Zealand!
Very informative with the data! Like always thank you for your hard work and professionalism.
Thank you for watching!
I live close to a grass-fed dairy and get bones regularly...I prefer to make my own!
Homemade is completely different than even the best broth on the store shelf.
Wtf lol
Who cares
Cheaper and better
Lucky!!
Great video Thomas! I’ve just made my own bone broth and will begin my fast tomorrow. 👌🏼
Awesome! Sounds like a great way to kickstart a keto lifestyle
This video is a year old for me, but so much of this resonated with me. I am 67 years old and I’ve only been doing keto for two and a half months. I have lost 30 Ibs. I have done a couple of 24 hour water fasts and a couple of 48 hour water fasts. I embarked on a 72 hour water fast ( made it to 64) I felt good with the fast, and because of research I had done, I was no longer frightened at some of the low blood sugar readings I had because my ketones were rising. My blood sugars dropped as low as 3.7 (69), but my ketones were solid, over one after the second day. I track my GKI and was thrilled with my resulting numbers. The magic happened after the fast was over- I was still rocking ketones and lower blood sugars even after I had eaten. I broke my fast with bone broth, had eggs and cheese and avocado, and went out to dinner and had prime rib and veggies. I finished eating at 6:00 and when I went to bed at 10:30, my blood glucose was 4.5 (80) and my ketones were 2.5 When I woke up the next morning, my blood glucose was at 4.8 (85) and my ketones 1.1. After exercise , my blood glucose rose to 5.5 (100) and my ketones were at 1.0. My conclusion is that there is carry over after a longer fast and that I am becoming fat adapted.
Very knowledgeable and transparent. thanks for making the sacrifice for our benefit.
Glad you enjoyed the info! Thanks for watching!!
I did it .. with out the bone broth ... still not hungry
So just a straight up fast?
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial ..yep 1st day was the hardest .....I want to get a body like your ...hopefully this summer I'll there or at least almost there ........
I did a fast 3 days my glucose the Third day went down to 50 and I was not feeling good so I read it was dangerous and I ate. My ketos were 4.2.
Swanzilla I’ve got question.. do you drink bone broth any time you want while you fast like coffee or you break your fast with it.. thank you..
perihan kumova
apparently it breaks your fast
Really enjoyed this video! Very cool to see your results and extrapolate to my own results. Last April I fasted for 6 days and had a very similar experience. I've been keto off and on since 2015. More on than off!😆
My glucose reading prior to a workout on day 2 of the fast was 103 and then 112 after a HIIT workout. I was freaking out thinking I did something wrong!! I've NEVER seen it that high as I've been keto for 3 years now. So glad I found this video and you went through that, too!
Finished 72hrs 20min Wednesday afternoon.
My last bone broth was ~21hrs prior to fast break, my schedule was off that morning so I did not get a workout in, and since I did not workout I didn’t drink broth and I was away from home so I had coffee and water only. Towards noon when I made it back home, I was going to drink some broth but decided to just fast through the rest of my time period. I then did a condensed version of one of my normal workouts which was: Strength work on bench + HIIT bench, about 25min, it was an unremarkable workout but I expected that to be the case. Right after (I usually wait 45min but had more scheduling conflicts), I drank a whey+dextrose+honey post workout drink (~20g whey,~25g carb of which all sugars), along with 8oz broth, and I ate a nonfat greek yogurt (13g carb - 6g fiber/6g sugar/and has stevia, 15g protein).
Results
Starting weight: 194.2lbs
Ending weight: 188.0 (-6.2lbs, probably ~5lbs water)
Today (2nd day after): 190lbs
Glucose at fast end: 62
Glucose post fasted workout: 77
Glucose 1hr post workout: 109
Keep in mind those glucose readings are in the afternoon, so no dawn effect. I wish I had taken initial and maybe measurements during, but didn’t even think about it.
Other notes my sleep was about 1hr shorter on last 2 nights, less REM and deep sleep per Fitbit, but for the most part I didn’t notice this during the daytime. At night prior to bed I was noticeably more tired, but didn’t fall asleep any faster and possibly took longer. Last two nights after the fast, I did sleep better but still 1hr less than normal. Weight is only up 2lbs, thought maybe it would go higher but I am eating keto. Overall feel pretty good, one thing that is standing out is sensitivity to caffeine seems to be higher, never really noticed that with other fasts.
One other item - I ate too much fat too soon after my post workout meal, had some issues that night but it resolved the next morning. I know breaking an EF can be like that, but I guess I was thinking the broth would have kept things primed and would not be as bad ( I also did not have said broth for 21hrs prior, maybe part of it as well).
Now, to keto (TKD) on! Well as best as I can through the holidays, we have a few Christmas meals to enjoy. I think New Years we will make full keto, and January is a renewing/relaunch of my fat burning goals.
Wow! Great results! Thanks for this!
I did the 3days with you, my husband too. It wasn’t hard at all, only a few times did we feel hunger pangs but they quickly went away. Broke the fast after 72 hrs with a little avacado, some chicken and a few green olives. Hubby felt good but I immediately after only a few bites got nauseous. Really nauseous. We figured introduction of foods might have shocked my body a little. Just guessing. Anyway the fast was really great, we both lost about 5 lbs. and really feel good. Now, we got back to our usual 18/6 IF routine. Im also healing from wrist surgery. I think fasting will help me heal! Thanks, Thomas for taking us through this. 🙋👍
Great job!
This is unrelated to the BBF but I’ve been doing 48 hour fasts for a while now. I eat one meal at the end of 48 hours. Feel great and I’ve lost a ton of weight. Thanks Thomas! And congrats on the fast!
Thank you for watching!
Weighed in at 221.3 day three at 216.2. Staying on for a couple more days my goal was 215 before Christmas.
You're basically there! Rock and Roll!
YOU GO DADDIO
How often do you drink the broth in a day?
I just started drinking and MAKING bone broth 2 days ago. Whoah, I am blown away with the good feelings in my gut. A warm healing, and an almost mild euphoric feeling. VERY NICE!! I made the BB with turkey wings, a rotisserie chicken carcass and the usual veggies of carrot, celery and onion, pink salt, pepper and garlic salt. I hear chicken backs make a great BB too. I'm lovin this new addition to KWOE with I.F.
I might add ^^^ that drinking this homemade bone broth is the missing key for achieving ONE-MAD, for me anyway... I can sail through the day and then eat a hearty dinner which helps me sleep better on a full stomach. A 22-24 hour fast just doesn't feel like fasting this way. :-)) I'm so jazzed and amazed by this!!
Wow, Thomas you had an interesting journey! 😂 I went in great, felt the effects, I had great data. I did not have any desire to binge or do any crazy eating after. I am way more mindful. 💪🏼💪🏼 Thank you so much! 🎄
You're welcome!
It’s about time. I was worried that I did not see you for the last two days. Yah. Your back.
I didn't die. Just got a little busy with the holidays
Amazing video Thomas. Brilliant one. Honestly!
Thanks for watching!!
Hey Thomas, I didn’t know you were doing this fasting. I did one too. The week previous starting my fast I spent it cheating with high carb meals(haven’t cheated in a while, always keto). My initial goal was 120 hours but I did 107. I broke the fast cause I felt it was enough and 13 more hours wouldn’t make too much difference, plus I wanted to have dinner with my wife. Interesting results too! I felt cold after hour #24, super cold I sould say. Felt horrible between hour 50-60. Infelt like I was going to pass out.Suddenly after hour #60 felt super good, tons of energy, no hunger at all. I measured glucose and ketones:
Hour #0:
Glucose:93 mg/dl
Ketones:0.0 mmol/L
Hour #24
Glucose:88 mg/dl
Ketones:0.0 mmol/L
Hour #30
Glucose:86 mg/dl
Ketones:0.6 mmol/L
Hour #48
Glucose:77 mg/dL
Ketones:2.2 mmol/L
Hour#72
Glucose:68 mg/dl
Ketones:2.6 mmol/L
Hour#96
Glucose:65 mg/dL
Ketones:3.3 mmol/L
Hour#108(1 hour after eating a rib eye and broccoli)
Glucose: 86mg/dl
Ketones: 2.8 mmol/L
Any idea how to understand these results?
Thanks to your video, I'm getting out the stone age with Ketone strips and getting a blood tester. I'm more of an extended faster so it wasn't a big deal. But the idea of seeing how food effects your blood sugar is intriguing. Everything starts and ends with blood sugar with this life style.
Well into day three on my end and feeling fine. I have also been cold but not very hungry. I only had the bone broth on day one. So glad I decided to join you, the weekend will be full of baking Christmas cookies, cakes and pies and it’s impossible for me not to test them 😂 now I won’t feel so guilty! Merry Christmas 🎄
That's great! I hope you enjoyed it (and you enjoy the cookies!)
It was easy for me. Never had any hunger pains. I am 72. Started at 263 and after the three days 252... I drank ONLY the 24 oz's a day for Beef Broth along with black coffee HOT and Hot black tea. Not a lot of plain water. I feel great. Worked out in the morning for three days heavy weights for me with my trainer. Third day I had to cut the workout down to just 30 minutes - a little lite headed. Just broke my fast with a cup of Turmeric and Cinnamon with touch of honey. Thomas - thanks for this challenge, will do it again after the holidays.
So happy you reached a well deserved 1 mill subs
Thanks for being one of them!
Interesting results Thomas!
Bone Broth fasting certainly works good.
I come from the carnivore diet 20 weeks in so far.
I done a 4 day fast, from Monday to Thursday, ( first day water fast, followed by 3 days bone broth fast), first and 2nd day I trained at the gym (full body workouts), the 3rd day only light cardio in the park and on 4th day no training. I really enjoyed this experience. By the 3rd day I was having no hunger issues but my body temperature dropped and I was getting a bit colder. I also noticed increased mental clarity and I was very calm and relaxed.
On the 4th day I was getting used to having only bone broth.
I broke my fast at 96 hours with 3 eggs prepared in grass fed butter and I could not eat anymore feeling full, there was no hunger feeling at all.
It was a good experiment for myself, I enjoyed it :)
Glad you had fun with it!
Congratulations Thomas!! Thank you for all your precision & measuring during this bone broth fast, as that is not something I typically do. I learned so much about my own body through you doing this fast, in particular 19:38-20:29 about instant fluid weight gain post fast, which typically levels out after a few days. That said, I'm still VERY CURIOUS to know if adding electrolytes (potassium, magnesium in particular) to your bone broth might have yielded different results. Is suppose this is something I will experiment with myself. Still, because you're much more 'measuring' in your approach, perhaps I can encourage you to do yet another 3 day bone broth fast later in the year to help me better understand my own body. With much gratitude & love for all that you be & do ... 🤗
Nearly every body likes ice cream and so do I. An ice cream maker costs next to nothing, I got a fully functional used one on craigslist. I make ice cream using erythrytol as a sweetener which is just as satisfying as the store bought stuff and has significantly less impact on blood sugar level.
Trying the bone broth fast once again,first time got to 22 hrs gave in and had big sugar cravings. Today started at 12 midnight it is now 1:30 pm nothing yet but coffee I'm about to do a 45 minute work out then 8 oz of bone broth.My big problem is I started working nigjts 8 pm till 6:30 am this really thru my scheduling off. I had previously done intermitant fasting before some whay on n off I was previously 218 lbs after 4 months I weigh in at 170lbs . I have a small amount of viseral fat around my mid area. Trying to get it all off but it is tough. I will keep you posted Thomas thanks for all you do for us oh yes p.s. I am 63 yrs old today.
Thanks for uploading on my brithday 😁🙏🏾

This was such a helpful video for me. I have found that when I do a longer fast I experience an afterburner effect of higher ketones.
I took part. Went from 155.6 down to 148.8. After breaking the fast I balanced out at 150-151lbs. I don't have a way to check my levels but day 1 went well, day 2 I felt kinda crappy for the 1st half of the day, and day 3 was pretty good with only short bits of hunger. I feel like I should have run it out for a full 5 day fast to maybe get some higher levels of autophagy. Overall it was a good experiment.
Loved this for so many reasons! Thank you for the science.
Thank you for watching!
Hey Thomas! Always enjoy your videos and other content. I've been doing keto with internment fasting since early Aug and couldn't be happier with my results having dropped nearly 45 lbs... Rather quickly! I have a question in regards to getting to deep into keto. I frequently find myself with ketone levels in excess of 8. Do you have any pointers or rational as to why this is happening with me and how to combat it effectively? Is this causing more harm then good?
Thanks again for the input and continued knowledge.

My experience was Day 1 no hunger pains. Day two no hunger pains. Day three bad hunger pains for 10 seconds, then no more pain. Lost one pound. Was extremely hungry and ate tons of carbs which I have never done before. I am keto all the way. My cravings were unusual for me. Today Friday my first meal was kale and 1/2 cup of yogurt. I am not hungry. The bad part of this bone broth fast was the diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomforts. I usually regular. Also, I had extremely tired could not sleep properly. I had no energy to workout. I worked out Day 1-2 not 3. Today had another sleepless night. Napped during the day. I do a lot of IF everyday. I am on a 12-14 hour fast. That is why I think I had no hunger pains. I will weigh myself again tomorrow. I like the idea of fasting. I want to incorporate it once a month for two days. What I ate? I had homemade beef bone broth, turkey bone broth, Pellegrino Water which was fizzy, also I took my water with salt (plain water). I peed tons for the whole fast. Was it worth it? Definitely. I have a slow metabolism according to my DNA.
👍Absolutely awesome info. Thank you for doing this and sharing. 💞
Excellent information. Really useful. Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Thankyou Thomas..would you please consider creating a video about nourishing, increasing and protecting the Mitochondria in relation to anti-ageing?
Loved that Thomas..I feel as though I was there with you..great information..our body's are werd huh?
I was only able to participate for 48 hours... that said, the experience was incredible. I did find that the bone broth ( homemade) did make me hungrier than just water. This is something that will certainly be adding to my regular routine... maybe once every 2-3 months just to hit the ‘re-set’ button.
I'm glad you liked it!
Thomas DeLauer Thomas, I’m looking to purchase your services for myself and my wife... I’m just not sure which is the best for our needs
By coincidence I finished a smilar fast today. First day was no problem. Second night I experienced increased heart rate.
Roland Strauss Interesting about the increased heart rate... I’m planning on doing the fast again starting in the next couple of days... just to hit the re-set again after the Christmas eating season.
Great Video....super inspirational!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!!
Thank you the glucose and ketone readings. I am in a water fast right now and my glucose is staying pretty flat. Almost through day 2
Very interesting
Great video Tom
Completed. Feel awesome. But had to crank the heating up... I was freezing.. Plus staying in chilly Scotland doesn't help
..
Thank you, Thomas. I am an arborist (physically difficult and mentally challenging work) who eats a ketogenic diet and practices intermittent fasting. I feel better than I have in the last 15 years, am performing much better, and have leaned out. What effects can I expect when I go off of the ketogenic diet when consuming seasonal wild edibles loaded with sugar such as persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) and the Indiana banana, paw paw (Asimina triloba)? Also, is there any nutritional difference between herring and sardines?
You are really a legend Thomas! Your videos are really of high quality despite advertising for products directly. Really looking forward for your vegan month!! And can you compare your recommanded fishes (US Haddock,California and Pacific Halibut,Alaska Cod, Pacific Sardines, Wild Alaskan Salmon, Mussels) and make a ranking? And is crab meat(snow crab legs, cooked) a good source of protein? Keep up the good work!!
I LOVE CRAB MEAT
Great info. Thanks for doing these experiments
Thank you for watching!
Don't have a choice. You are the only source for keto that explains what is going on. I would have failed miserably had I not found your channel.
Good job! Thanks for sharing the journey! Quick question: Have you ever experienced sensitivity to tastes to increase after fasting?
Dropped 3 pounds during the fast. Felt like I had more energy to do the low intensity weight lifting! I also did some HIIT, but only on the first day. I did notice hunger pangs at “bone broth/meal” times. But after black cold brew in the morning - I didn’t need any broth until after 2pm or so. Consumed a lot less broth than I anticipated as well. Great way to start the holidays!
That's awesome. Glad you enjoyed it!
I followed your fast when you did it, but just watched this video today, since I'm finally doing a bone broth fast for one day. I've tried fasting in the past but not coming from a keto/fat adapted lifestyle and it was HARD. The hunger was out of control by the end of those fasts and with no post fast plan, I typically would binge on junk food that first day. However, this time, I am coming in to it with a more fat adapted and also IF adapted body state, so we'll just see. And I have a plan for breaking the fast in a more healthy way.
I have been keto since June last year so I'm 9 months in, my daily fasting glucose is always high 90's. my normal glucose is 80 to 85. But I haven't been out of keto in months.
Thank you for sharing your 3 day fast experience and results. What are the pros and cons of donating blood while on a ketosis diet? How should one prepare and recover from donating blood?
It was nice being a part of the fast with you Thomas. About the "sugar binge" the day prior: do you think that you could have reduced your blood glucose rapidly if you did extreme HIIT explosive cardio before the fast, right after eating the sugar?
Superb vid thanks! Still learning every day.
Can you show us how to make a cold brew coffee youreself?
This video was AMAZING. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing the info. I decided I’ll make my own bone broth. Now, my question is, when putting it in the fridge, and taking it out to eat, there’s a layer of fat on the top. Would you recommend I skim that off or just heat and eat please??
And 5 years later, I am in my 3rd day of bone broth fast! I will keep going until tomorrow am! Have already lost 3 pounds and my ketones registered over 1.5!
Just wrapped up my first ever extended fast, went from Thursday night midnight to Monday morning. Broke the fast at 11am. 83hrs. Didn’t have any pea protein on hand, so I broke the fast with a non-dairy banana creme muscle milk and added a half scoop of vegan cafe latte shakeo powder to it. Was that a reasonable option? Tried to avoid dairy as you said and made it easily digestible.
Great video. Question! Do you eat in a particular way before or after 3 day fasts, in order to preserve muscle mass?
Thanks. I fast once a month.. No bone broth. I'm trying to do a 3 day. I usually only do 48hours. My ketones read 1.7 usually around hour 38 - 40. I guess that's good. Thanks for all your info.
It's great you completed your bone broth fast with such amazing results. What is your opinion on All you can eat Korean bbq? Would it be ok to consume all of this protein at one meal while on Keto?
Does this (peripheral Insulin Resistance) apply to IF? My glucose levels are always in the 90s, sometimes in the 110s, but my ketones are in the 2.7 +
Excellent explanations. The experiences you had, are totally normal, had exact the same experiences myself years ago. Liver dumps huge armount of glucose into the blood, when you get cortisol spike from HIIT. Also, as you stated, you get glucose resistant, the longer you stay in (deep) ketosis (adapted, not temporary). And once you get really glucose depleted, doing those HIITS becomes torture... BTW, your recovery capacity is amazing, even for your age!
If you go to doctor like this and do a glucose stress test or a morning glucose test, he will probably misdiagnose you as a pre-diabetic :-D (happened to me)
Thank you for the insight!
Hi Thomas, I've been following your channel for a while now and I have learned a great deal about health, I thank you for your effort and honesty! Recently I a have encountered a doubt about bone broth. Other channels along with various website claim that bone broth really don't have any health benefits. Some information I found even claimed the collagen in bone broth is not good because its exogenous and it uses the oxalate path way! Can u please shine more light please on this matter? Thanks
Completed the 3 days kinda...
My starting weight was 83kg and I got as low as 81kg on the morning of day three, I'm about 82kg 2days after.
I had 200mL of bone broth for breakfast and lunch each day and 400mL for dinner, the first day was all beef, the last two days were chicken for breakfast and lunch with beef for dinner.
I worked out shoulders on the first day and chest on the last, I know you said not to do slow sustained cardio but I walked about 20km each of the three days because it's pretty much a ritual by now.
I felt a 7 on the first day, 5-6 the second day and an 8-9 the third day until after my final meal.
I felt ridiculously hungry all three days and I'm never hungry on OMAD, I've done two 16hr dry fasts before as well as a few full day fasts but never a prolonged fast, I loved the other fasts but this was brutal for me physically.
My stomach was rumbling almost constantly, although from previously having IBS and gerd many years ago, I felt that my gut got better and I still feel that two days later it has improved with functionality even though it wouldn't shut up for 3.5 days.
I broke my fast on the night of the third day, my hunger was ridiculous and I was not going to sleep until it was satisfied, I was weak as and I got fast food from the only place open 24 hours in Australia...
I don't have a monitor yet but I reckon I was hypoglycaemic on day two, I had no energy whatsoever.
I would do maybe one day of this again to rebalance my gut but if I did another prolonged fast I'd just have water, I don't think I'd have a problem with another three day fast with just water...
My blood glucose is always elevated after HIIT...even when I haven't had any carbs the day prior. I am very well fat adapted. It's always kind of a shock to see such a high blood glucose.
Thomas is shredded year round #respect
We need to bring this back !
Do you usually take only black coffee as pre workout or have you tried any other supplements such as Beta Alanine? Love your videos.
