“You don’t have to experience pain and hunger to get the benefits of fasting and to go into fasting.” [5:04]
“Fasting the same way everyday is bad for you. Because it doesn’t lend your body the idea of metabolic flexibility. It’s like, “Oh, I live in a world where there’s almost never enough food.” So have breakfast every now and then…” [24:08]
“When most people hear fasting, all they hear is, “I’ll starve therefore, I’ll die,” and then they blank out to it. No, this is about more energy and it’s about more clarity and less time wasted.” [41:53]

Eat one healthy meal a day , do exercise, take vitamin tabs and sleep well.
That's what I've done and it's my 90th birthday next week. 😊
Happy birthday brother!
@@v05555 I'm 65 and my body is like I'm 16, I can still bounce around like a kid, and I attribute that largely to good diet AND VITAMINS. Yes vitamins can be a waste of time &money, but you need to take the RIGHT vitamins AND MINERALS, the ones that are naturally sourced, not synthetic ones produced in a lab.
Hey hey congratulations stud keep going strong, don’t forget to have fun especially with this troubled time’s.
🍀🍀🍀✨
@@glennrobinson7193 may I ask what vitamins you take, I would love the help
Happy Birthday!! 🎁🎉🎊🎈
Im 66 years old. I gave up sugar, grains, ate organic grassfed meat and cream and organic vegetables and intermittent fasting. I feel like a different person. I have so much more energy, mental clarity, disappearing joint pain. Its insane!
What is acacia gum and where can you buy it.???
@Blue Sky Puzzle this is a tough one,I just said to myself if I want to keep walking and not get my leg cut off or go blind I can’t have NO MORE sugar or bread 🥯.I make my own bread (no flour) .for a treat I put peanut butter and some pure unpasteurized honey on it .mostly I have some real fruit,you’d be surprised how sweet it seems if you totally cut out sugar.walking and seeing are my priorities. It comes down to that.
Ty for sharing
right behind you sister!!
@Blue Sky Puzzle Its hard to quit, but it only takes about 2 weeks to get over it. I was addicted, and never ever knew it , since I was a kid, mostly to ice cream. I just stopped about 20 years ago and then didn't think about it until just recently. I have been under a lot of stress so I had a bowl of ice cream; I was off the wagon and started eating it again. As of old, a meal didn't feel complete without it at the end. So, I'm quitting again and I'm sure it will stick for a long time because I did it before.
I listen to Dr. Fung - I have done a 30 day and a 21 day fast - lost almost 50 pounds and have kept it off a year later. I was completely fine. There is a lot of misinformation in this interview frankly. If you have fat for your body to eat then going beyond 10 days is not dangerous at all. It's common sense which is why I like Fung. You have excessive fat? Safe to fast. Not a lot of excessive fat? You don't need to do long term fasting. What is the difference between your body eating the excessive fat your body is already carrying or putting more fat in via your mouth? There is no difference. Here's the basic secret - if you have extra fat on your body let your body do the work and get out of the way. We overcomplicate all of this so much when the reality is our bodies know exactly what to do and you will be just fine. *Edit to add: beyond the first few days of your body adjusting to fasting you are not hangry or "bitchy" as this guy is saying. After a few days you feel more energetic and positive than you have ever felt. So much misinformation here.
I agree with much of what you've said, Positive. I'm a follower of Dr. Dom D'Agostino. Have been for many years. He sits alone at the top LMO. Peter Attia and Steven Gundry are good, but Gundry loses me whenever he begins to anthropomorphize the actions of cell organelles, processes and functions to explain them in simple terms to us. That tells me surgeons seldom have a clue how or why it works that way. It's not what they do. They have been trained to cut anything out if it doesn't work. For them it's about affecting tangible, yet hopefully less impactful changes to somebody's quality of life.
You say there's a lot of misinformation here, and that's where we disagree. I can't give Asprey a pass like I do for those surgeons I mentioned. At least somewhere along the line they learned thru common sense to accept that surgery wasn't a good answer. Sorry, but what this self-declared nerd is selling is bullshit laced with cynicism. The rest he borrowed. You've been far too kind to call it misinformation.
Hello, I have just finished nineteen day, twenty -two hour fast.
Post fast I have cut out processed food, no obvious carbs, cut out potatoes bread Pasta Rice.
These people are making it more complicated than it need be.
Before fasting. over a period of weeks cut out Sugar/Caffeine/ obvious carbs.
Lot of waffle with these people, the lack of Sugar to the Brain, can create a clarity like a small LSD trip, nothing more.
Since late 20/18, have done three fasts of 19 to 21 days, two fasts of nine days and two fasts of three days.
My reason for fasting! June 20/18 had RP which was not successful, prior to RT starting in December 20/18 I did a twenty-one day water fast. Before fast my PSA was 0.22 post fast 0.17 then started to climb again till RT. In my case, there could be a link re fasting containing the PSA, hard to prove though.
These people are making a fast more complicated than it need be.
Also in my case, have no problem re refeeding after a fast, perhaps I am just lucky, never had any problems.
I am retired so there is no work stress or family to contend with, for some people work during a fast could be problematic. so better to do it on holiday time.

I've been OMAD fasting for 2 months & I'm all of a sudden noticing my arthritis going away. I didn't expect this but I'm so glad for it.
Same here 🎉I’ve noticed it In just following 16-8 intermittent fasting and occasional 24-40 hr fast
@@stephenh.4476 nope I don’t think it’s that hard, maybe at the beginning of learning how to do it- I think it’s even more critical 😊electrolytes salts especially if your following more of a meat based diet, it’s so critical especially for electrical system for your heart ❤ you can get me up at the heart ❤doctors office for atrial flutter 😢afib and you don’t want to go they’re because the only fix they know is doing cardio shock to heart resetting it and the ablation… our medical system doesn’t really understand healing it only knows the power of the almighty dollar
@@stephenh.4476 I only eat once a day most days as I have an IBD. I always take a lot of supplements as well but I feel so much healthier eating a high quality meal once a day, rather than eating carbs/sugar three times a day.
and fat loss?
@@VirtualRonnie so far I've lost 20 lbs
Have you ever noticed when you go to bed hungry you wake up feeling fine, but go to bed after eating a giant meal and you wake up starving? 🙂 🙂 🙂
That is so true! I never thought about it. Interesting observation.
🤗👍🏼
I try to never over-eat. It's bad for digestive tract & feels awful. I do intermittent fasting which has taught me how to eat - or not eat!
My grandma always told me that too.
I was just telling my wife this exact thing
Jottings:
- Theme: Fasting
- Over-fasting (> 10 days) not good. Thats starving or malnutrition.
- Fasting == go without (eating, digital, etc) that makes us stronger.
- Metabolic/dietary Fasting = does not increase insulin (Water + little pre-biotic fiber)
- Goals of fasting:
- healing gut,
- autophagy (little fat ok),
- more energy,
- lower inflammations (absence of toxins, ketone)
- Intermittent fasting: 16 hrs Fasting, 8 hrs eat anything!!
- Ketones: body burns fats and not sure, more energy than glucose, brain loves it, more clarity
- Fasting is a practice, start slow. Don't make it painful unless for spiritual reason.
- Spending energy heavily on:
- Fear: run away from kill
- Food: eat everything
- F*: going crazy
- Fasting is a way out of above spends.
thanks for your notes
Thank you!!
I couldnt understand If antioxidans are okay for fasting - e.g fisitin, Querstein ect? ...which are okay ? Thank you
You are just blindly following what he says without any experimentation, you have to find what works for your own unique self.
You are unique, just like everyone else 👐
There is a million different ways to fast so find what works for you!!!
Fasting over 10 days isnt necessarily a bad thing, once you switch over to running on ketones you will be full of energy. Rememever to always be careful and listen to your body!
The main thing while water fasting is adding salt and potassium to your water. This is very important!
Thanks for making this available!
I started my fasting journey at 462lbs. First month i did 16/8 and only ate whole foods lost 25lbs. Second month i noticed lunch time was comming around and i wouldnt be hungry so i switched to omad lost anoth 22lbs. Third and 4th month i did a mix of different things were i fasted for 5 days ate for 2 days. I also did rolling 72's and at my 5th month i completed my first 21 day fast. Using only water, electrolyte powder, and prebiotic powder. In total i lost 132lbs in 6 months and maintained it for a year. Had a bunch of family deaths all at once and went right back to emotionally eating and went from 330 a mear 60lbs away from my goal weight of 270. Back to 444 currently. And today is day 2 of getting back on track and watching this video was definately interesting and great insight. I will say fasting has showed me how ridiculous my fast food addiction was and how that feeling i had when i felt like i needed to be gorged at all times was just dumb.
Heck yes! Keep it up!
Good for you, I’m in a similar boat. Nothing wrong with starting over.
@Jacqueline's Journal you can still be eating over your daily calories in 8 hours
All the best bro. I know u can do it.
@Jacqueline's Journal Cut down on the fats if you're gaining weight
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."
How is the forex investment done.
Yes, fx and Stock investment, I heard it's very profitable
Yes, true but I don't know anything about it.
I have heard so much about Stock how does it work
Did i hear someone say forex ?
I agree! People think when they fast they will die. Being hungry can be more a psychological thing because I notice that I am more hungry when I think about it. And, if I am busy I can go for hours.
Fasting,,think you will die,, reality,,exact opposite amazing 🥲

I started intermittent fasting when I began long term world travel. I found it annoying to hunt for places for lunch in crowded cafes when I could be exploring. It was surprisingly easy, now I enjoy my single, very good meal at the end of the day.
People used to say you would pass out if you waited too long to eat
Actually it's demons, not mitochondria as far as I know. My daughter talks to ghosts real easy and one admitted to possessing her and said every thing she eats, is exactly as if he ate it. So I cussed him out, he don't care if she's fat. She does and got the answer. Demons are no good, just there to share a body to enjoy being alive without being alive. Ghosts are the same but not as old and experienced as demons, so less tricks. These things get in on people's blame and anger when it's really their fault and they didn't humble down are realize it.
Tom, please interview Dr Jason Fung - he is amazing
Yes yes yessss
Yes!!!!!! He’s amazing!!!
Yes!!
YES !!!
I just saw a vid on Jason Fung. Liked him a lot.
My experience with fasting is that at 1st I got crazy hungry after 4-6 hours. Kept at it and the time between getting very hungry got longer and longer over the weeks. Now I'm at the stage where I can go 23 hours and I'm like, oh yeah, time to eat now, and sure I am a bit hungry but I could go hours longer. Just that I don't and I eat that one meal for the day.
I'm not much overweight to start with, just wanted to lose that last 30 pounds. As a side effect, my joints don't ache anymore and I literally jump out of bed like a teenager again. I'm close to 60 years old btw.
Amazing info. Thanks for sharing your insights
Wow!
Fabulous!
I’m 60 and have had a similar experience. I mostly do intermittent fasting now. I have an IBD so the more rest I give my bowel the better, and the less bodily inflammation I suffer. BUT I do take a lot of multivitamins/supplements as well.
So true about not being hungry for hours. 20 hours fasting like nothing. Even 23hours
You are so right about doing a longer fast with others in an environment without distractions. And it's motivational when done with others doing the same. Comparing notes removes a lot of fear or panic when you see that it's quite normal to go through both physical and spiritual or emotional issues.
I have been running a fasting clinic for over 30 years now where people book in to do a supervised and monitored water fast for anything between 10 to 30 days.
I have truly witnessed many transformations over the years.
No one has ever regretted their decision to do such a fast.
Tom - you've asked exactly the questions I've wanted answered for years! Thanks for being super diligent on this one!
Love this podcast, especially for someone who's done all forms of fasting for almost 4 years. This not only solidify what has been done correctly but opens up my mind and closes the questions I had before. What a good close to a perfect opening!
What is your fasting regime?
@@nareegreel move freely between 16/8 minimum to 48 hours fasting.
168 being 80% of the time. The longer the fast the least frequently. The trick is be flexible. Do your resistance workout actually all of the workouts fasted. I do meditation yoga in the morning. If I have more time I would do some form of HIIT .
@@eddieyutub Thank you, this was very helpful

The genius of this gentleman is his pragmatism. He has change my whole attitude towards fasting vs trading off enjoying my life. Thank you!
I grew up fasting as a kid when we were sick- we did it because we lived on a farm and thats what animals do when they're sick. And it makes sense- every symptom is the body saying "don't eat please!" (food tastes bland because your nose is congested, your throat is sore, etc. etc.)
I never had to take antibiotics once. And I rarely got sick. But when I was 14 I got Scarlet Fever and fasted for almost three weeks on just water.
Last year I had covid and fasted for 10 days (on just water). The beautiful thing is when you get to the end of being sick you feel like your body has cleaned up all the house keeping it hasn't gotten to do when you're normally eaten.
So when you fast when you get sick (which feels natural anyway) you can see that being sick is actually perhaps part of how we stay healthy in a larger sense.
I am doing OMAD to teach myself to stop snacking and have control over the one thing in my life I can control. It has really helped me understand what I am capable of and that I don’t need to eat all the time. ☺️
I just started for the first time after doing 16/8 for a long time. This is my third day, pretty low energy and hungry all day, so I just made myself a bullet proof coffee with collagen. Hope it helps.
@@Morning2glory1 day 2-3 is always gardest for me....then it us pretty ok
Makes you feel “in charge!”❤
I make beef bone broth, and that really helps on the third day. Congrats! I will do my second 72 hour fast at the end of May. I buy the bones at Whole Foods: they are full of collagen-I cook them in a slow cooker for 24 hours. So delicious!
@@Morning2glory1 I don't Trust collagen at all. It's a white powder. I put a whole cup of it into half a cup of water and it didn't change the viscosity hardly at all. I noticed all the people selling it aren't losing any weight. They are lying and it's a product that can have poison in it if a bad guy figures out a way. You can just eat chicken skin and other things and get collagen. Why reduce it to a processed food?
I went on a 21 day water fast at a clinic, and I was fine. It healed my BP and vision.
Proof.
Did you take supplements
@@thesilverfox_ok Hello, Since about August 2018 I have done two twenty one day fasts, one nineteen day fifteen hours and two nine day and one three day fasts. Just starting another and am about twenty eight hours in. Pre fasting I was about 15 stone 8lbs, after the first couple of fasts I was down to about 10stone 12lbs.
June 18 2018 had robotic Surgery for Prostate Cancer "Gleason 9, T3B", the surgery was not successful, so managed to get radiation December 20 2018 to Feb 6 2019. In-between Surgery and Radiation did my first water fast. The reason for fasting was to achieve "Autography" which I did but there was an unusual twist. To get the Radiation treatment you have to have three rises in PSA level and fast doubling time. The effect of fasting brought my PSA level down to 0.17 from 0.22.and that could delay the Radiation I argued my case and they put me up for radiation.
I had read up about fasting and just went for it and was prepared in the sense I was already more or less off sugar and caffeine so no withdrawal symptoms.
Looking back, the initial fast was quite an undertaking and any discomfort I found was negated by the feeling that I was at least trying to fight the Cancer and doing something. There are similarities in all the long fasts the most interesting is the mind unleashed period, kind of like mild LSD, think of the religious people fasting in the desert and having visions, to them they got messages from God, for me just lack of sugar to the brain.
Another benefit I found with fasting is anti inflammation effect. My right knee had some kind of age related issue, just a slight feeling! after weight loss am doing at least three miles a day walking in the woods, undulating paths so good exercise. Another effect of fasting is (for me) you can feel a bit cold on and off, solution, electric blanket and stay in bed for a day or two.
Subsequent fasting I am not such a "Purist" Will initially take 50mg of Modafinil and coffee and am already non sugar so no sugar withdrawal.
Apple cyder vinegar in the water and a little real salt and that seems to work for me.
Pre Fast. Cut out Sugar and Caffeine, then starting Fast, Modafinil and an attack dose of caffeine, that should take you to day three of your fast.
If you have pre-existing conditions, Diabetes or Gout or whatever , better get some advice from a doctor pre fasting.
Good Luck
Hallo, please, what is BP?
@@oliviabaklaton4552 ...my blood pressure. It went right down to normal.
This is amazing. I fast differently almost everyday - I do 16-22 hours of fast during the weekdays, and eat normally on weekends. Some days I do all healthy, and others I include sweet desserts. I am at my goal weight and feel great. Add in exercise and I’m on cloud 9. Thanks for the great talk.
Same and lost 80lbs in like 7 months. Now I’m to skinny lol
Thanks for sharing! Doing it this way sounds very doable (also from a social perspective 😊)
Same.. On the weekends I "let loose" a bit. During the week I'd go 18-22.
Interesting, educational, informative, inspiring, motivating conversation. Thank you so much.
I’m on a 72 hrs fast I’ve got 19 hrs to go. Dropped 9.4 lbs so far. I’m doing my daily gym routine and 2 miles of cardio. Fasting has been a huge beneficial blessing for me. I was 236 and dropped to 178lbs In 3 months.
How often do you fast?
How long do you do a 3 day fast?
Wow
how'd you train yourself to fast so long?
@@ash-js2bv it’s not hard once you put your mind into it and remember your “why” I have fasted for 8 and a half days and the first 5 days were quite easy but starting the 6th things started getting gradually tough ( cold sweating, stomach pain, acid reflux, fatigue ..) I believe because I went into it blindly without much knowledge about what I can have to balance my electrolytes and how to get rid of acid reflux, and the bad breath was just horrible
I believe what made the 5 first days easy is that I was doing keto and OMAD for 3 months and have fasted 7 days several months before that so my body was quite used to it, so you need to work your way up just like the doctor said otherwise it would be incredibly tough much like my 6th day experience, good luck!
Before: I can't afford food.
Now: I do intermittent fasting. 😀 😂 😜
Accurate
😜
Being broke has its benefits 👏🏽😂
That’s smart.
I save like 100$ when I do a 7 day fast. :)
Out of all the interviewers I watch you Tom deserve so much acknowledgment. You are so present and really allow people to talk without the distracting little commentary and noises. Thank you so much for all the amazing interviews and knowledge you bring to your channel!
Pppp
My thoughts exactly word by word..👍
I have Crohn’s and arthritis. Changing to IF, exercising and eating a very low carb diet has changed my health dramatically!
I have both of those two. I will give this a try.
This is one of those talks that one has to discect and study. Listen many times.
Knowledge is power. Liberating.
This is Tom's more impressive interview I have seen so far. The presenter's way to explain his knowledge is remarkable, but Tom's way to clarify, summarize, and make the issue understandable for us is out of this world. Thanks for your contribution to build a better world by having healthier and happier people.

I agree 👍
I have to agree! Tom is used to interrupting his guest but this time he did not. I guess the Dave was in complete control and more or less was dropping so many gems Tom could not but just stay silent and listen
First I didnt realy like him so much but I watch him moore and moore, he is genuinly interested in this and moore humble they you might think.
I agree about Tom! I've been watching him since he started and he has wonderful interaction with guests.
I've been waiting so long for someone to clarify if it is be beneficial to 'trick our body' and mix up fasting regiments! sounds like that's a resounding YES for striving for metabolic flexibility. this video is so informative thank you!
At moment, I believe this is the most important health video on the internet. Invaluable. Lots to dissect here. Powerful.
The most wise advice I’ve ever learned about fasting, Dave blows my mind!
This guy makes me feel human. I have failures that I beat myself over consistently. I wish I had found this interview a lot sooner.
Anybody who did anything right had plenty of failures. Decide what you want & keep trying. Be your best friend, it helps.

@HFC Fasting Center won't do that, but seems like a hotel is cheaper than those places anymore.
This is one of the best and most informative videos I’ve seen on eating. I feel it will be key into my health going forward. I’m going to follow up with a few of Dave Asprey's books for full comprehension and protocol. Thank you so much!

This channel is a goldmine. So happy I found it.
Can't believe I'm finding this more than a year later. I've been trying to figure this out. Buying the book today. Thanks, Dave and Tom
I need to go on a news fast.
I did that! It's sooo liberating! I imprisoned myself and had so much anxiety oozing from my pores that I had to go it cold turkey! It took almost 2 months, but I was able to go eat at restaurants again! I know that it was the stress of the constant news that kept me in Fight or Flight mode. THAT was what was killing me, and not covid.
😂
Yes!! Smart!
The country needs a 'progressive' fast for about 100 years
Lol 🤣 I have done that for a while plus deleted facebook , instagram never had twitter .Happier than ever .
Very informative conversation. I have been interested in fasting for months. That definitely puts a different light on the subject and it's an amazing summary! Thank you!
6th day of fasting ...enjoyed watching this , feeling peaceful .
All procrastination is fear - that’s a nice simple insight right there alone. This is a great one thankyou both
Awesome interview Tom. Dave tied a lot of things together for me, I’ve never thought of the landing point as flexibility, wow. I have a lot of health based structures in play but have felt that if, for some reason said protocol, example -I’m high fat carnivore, became unsustainable then what would I do? I did not have the big working picture till hearing this interview. Plus I learned some great tips to making my health journey more productive and maybe a little less uncomfortable. I just ordered the soft copy of Fast This Way, I’m looking forward to the walk through. Thanks gentlemen 👍
Dave, thank you sooooo much!! Finally someone addressing differences between men and women. I felt so relieved knowing that what he is saying actually goes for me as well, as a woman. Thank you!!
new to this channel. i have to say - tom, youre a superb interviewer! its great to see the people youre interviewing able to handle your interviewing skill. its no surprise why you have SO many subscribers.
Thank you very much for all the very helpful advice in this video. I really enjoyed watching it.
Really enjoyed this interview- he makes so much sense!! Thank you!! Phenomenal!!
I’m a long time fan of this channel, I think your interviews are well structured, interesting and always positive. I was wondering if you ever plan on interviewing Jason Fung - that would be my dream interview to watch. Best wishes in 2021, keep up the great work! More channels like this!
Yes Jason Fung would be amazing
You are so pretty what's your ethnicity or back ground?
Dr Jason Fung is incredible. He and Dr. Joe Dispenza are responsible for my having sent a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes into remission or reversal without the harmful medications. I would encourage anyone with chronic illnesses to take a look at intermittent fasting. Dr. Jason Fung seems to be among the most popular in advocating these fasts.

Tom and Dave, I just wanted to tell you your interview is like a great book every time you reread it you find hidden information in it. It happens to me when I replay this interview. This time, the explanation about How bacteria governs us and how we can take over gave me aha moment!. I personally have experienced the feeling of being in control when fasting, and now I understand the reason behind it. Thank you gentlemen!
This is one of the best talks I've heard about fasting.
God bless you tom, for giving us all of this awesome interviews
Amazing learning experience ! Thank you both of you for creating this content !..just smart , brilliant !
This has been super informative. Thank you!
I found your channel a couple of weeks ago. I loved this interview.
Nice interview. I learned a lot of stuff and it motivated me to study more on the subject. Very interesting!
That was an amazing interview. I love Dave's position on fasting. It just takes the extreme out of it all. I learned new stuff that make so much sense. Thank you!
But I am confused. For an average person like me, how do I know what I can have during fasting.
@@pjasmine if you are "fasting", water and black coffee.
When I fast I have water, black coffee, and green or herbal tea. Sometimes I will have a cup of vegetable broth.@@pjasmine
So candid and to the point! loved it!
Thanks so much to both of you. This was so useful.🙏
Loved this talk! So insightful! Great work as usual! Wishing you and your team a smashing 2021!

Thankyou Tom n Dave. Your insights were very timely for me.
18/6 squad member here. Last Month (3st of may, 2022 To be specific) was my 40th bday and after several weeks of indulging with parties, sex, alcohol and the inflammatory-inducing cuisine/processed foods, my joints were beginning to hurt, skin broke out, slept horribly and lost focus of the important things in life like ceasing my womanizing ways. Decided to take charge of my life and starting June 1st, decided to go on my first 46 hour fast. And from then on, 18 hour fasts daily and 24 hr fast every sunday evening into monday evening. Low carb, minimal sugar, only cheat was a few/several cocktails on sat nite (let me live, mom).
End results? Acne cleared up, lost about 9 clean pounds, no sugar/carb cravings, joint paint dissipated, mental acuity stronger than ever and staying hungry feels totally fine. Above all else, i look more handsome now than i did in all of my 20’s. Wow!!! Not only am i aging like fine wine, i also feel greAt and can charm the skin mucous out of a slug!!!
"Im not going to worry about getting my diet perfect". ❤ it!!!!
I love the clarity and focus that comes with fasting🙌
Two men who are easy in their own skin and super insightful....Bravo!!
I've been following Dave for years... He finally looks healthy so now I will take his advice.
Just ordered the book while listening to this interview; it got me interested in making me consider how many ways there is to fast that I've never suspected and it enlarged my perspectives on the subject. Can't wait to read the book!
Just ordered 8 tacos

How was the book? Did you implement anything into your diet?
Yes well, the book helped me to transition towards something that I never suspected I would one day dare to try to implement, and that is the carnivorous diet. Having read and listened to countless doctors who propose this kind of lifestyle, I came to understand that in the carnivore way the fasting is by nature the default mode of this way of nutrition. So past the adaptation period it even exit the necessity of disciplining the mental since all the satiety provided by the digestion of animal fats and meats makes me able to go about my day, and all summer I'm working outdoors long hours, without needs to pause, without cravings and often in no urges to feed myself until the next day. I find this ultimate low carb/low insulin diet to be for myself the most advanced nutrition I've ever tried.
@@guytrudel9264 awesome! Thank you and best wishes!
This was a fabulous conversation! I thank you both!!!! Liberating, EXACTLY That’s Fasting for me, on many levels

Such a useful conversation. So many actionable tips. Bought some activated charcoal for when I try keto as I really don't want to get the flu. Thank you for sharing this information.
Thank you for clarifying just about everything he said.
I have been doing a IF for 5 weeks , 16 -8 ( 6pm - 10am ) . i eat two meals only in my food window and i have stopped eating all sugar , carbs , fast food etc etc. Also i exercise twice during my fasting 16 hours. once after my early evening meal and once at 630am in the morning. i have so far lost 19lbs and feel like a completely different human being. Its insane how great i feel. I guess that just proves how awful my lifestyle was before June 13th. Step two is going to IF 20 - 4 for a month. lets see how that works...
Hi what are you eating for your two meals? I’ve been fasting but feel I haven’t been getting my full nutrition
Tom I love that you ask the questions that are so interesting and important!!

Love ur videos. Binging on alot of things and trying to detox and fix my lifestyle. Just started day 1 of my 30 day planned fast. I know my body. I’ll stop if it gets ridiculous. I have been living an unhealthy lifestyle a while now. Takeout almost every other night. 20 yrs old turning 21 this year. I know if i can make a change at anytime it should be NOW! Thanks for the educational videos always! And dealing with both sides of controversy so viewers can make there own choice!
I Love this man. The way he explains things is amazing. I'm buying book rights now
Great interview. You asked the right questions and Dave answered superbly. I was gripped from the start. Very motivating. Well done all.
Really great guest.
Please interview Dr. Berg!!!!!!!
100% agree!
Berg has some good stuff out, Fung does too. Sten Ekberg is my all-time favorite doc though. 🏆

Tom! How many books to you read each week to be able to provide us such incredible content??!! So appreciate it. But this one is all me. I have had such confusing gut and body issues this past year and now I know why! Fasting when I wasnt supposed to as it helped multiply the bad bacteria that led to a massive weight gain when I started eating again, even on a vegetarian green diet! I always want to re-lusten to everyone of your podcasts but then another one comes out and I never get the chance! But this time, I'm gonna listen to this one multiple times! Thank you and also thanks to the very generous guest!! Look forward to what you bring in 2021!!
Oh kaaay. I'm stumped on this one. You must have a different kind of body or using GMO and glyphosate greens. I just juice greens, suspecting it get's rid of the lectins in the fiber. I'm supposed to weigh 95 lbs for ideal but, I got up to 150. I took it down to 126, felt okay, started eating and 3 yrs later it all came back. Now I'm at 128 and working harder, learning a lot more with new videos out. I did notice if I do eat again, they say not to, and it don't stop the diabetes but I don't gain and weight on raw vegetables, and raw fruits and it makes me smell really good. But I have to pee all the time because my body is always pushing sugar out I guess. Now I have all this candida and this is the first time I fasted 10 days and my tongue white won't go away. That's when I break a fast when my tongue is red again.
Fantastic discussion. I’d read about fasting and just did a 2 day water fast for the first time ever and found it absolutely horrible. So glad I found this wonderfully compassionate and fascinating interview, I get it much better now! Thanks so much.
If this was your first time fasting, it’s understandable why you felt horrible. At the beginning fasting is not easy and makes you tired, gives you headaches and all that. It takes time for the body to adapt, afterwards you’ll feel amazing. Don’t do extremes. Start slowly and gradually. 16h, 18h, 20h, 22h, 24h and so on. Good luck 🍀
@@montcarmel4879 Thank you, that’s really helpful! ❤️
@@montcarmel4879I agree
I just want to say, this channel is amazing, great content. I’ve learned a lot. Thanks for your outstanding job Tom.
Fasting on and off is a great idea for self-control and It's great for all around health... Fantastic video!
Tom, thank you! the subject progress bar at the bottom is greatly appreciated! It helps to better keep track of the conversation.

I’m about to do a spiritual fast for four weeks, thank you for interviewing him I’m excited to read the book, I just got it on audible! I guess listen to the book in that case. I did a six week fast a while ago, I have enough weight on me that I’m not in trouble, but I’ve never heard anyone talk about the adrenal gland and your gut bacteria, so I definitely want to read it so I’m not screwing myself over. Definitely don’t want hair loss! Lol thanks for great tips and hosting him woot woot
What an outstanding interview!!
Love the visual timeline of the interview. Really helpful 🙌
It great. He's the only one doing it.

This was a really good interview. I felt like I saw a side of Dave Asprey that I’ve never seen before, he felt much more human and compassionate. His thoughts on the spiritual journey of fasting are exactly how I feel. Overall an amazing interview.
Can you eat vitamin c tablets on the fast
@@elliehannan5139 no l no lol lol

What I found was that once you started eating correctly and hydrating correctly your body starts communicating properly again and it kind of tells you what to do. I guess I do intermittent fasting but I don’t really do it intentionally it’s just what my body tells me to do. I usually go about 18 hours without eating and somewhere between 18 to 20 hours I have a fairly large meal Brian clued the leafy greens salad and usually tuna and a grow sprouts and get all the raw stuff in and sometimes I don’t need again or are you a smaller meal of a grass fed beef or salmon or something with some vegetables and that’s it for the day. I don’t make a conscious decision to not eat and sometimes I won’t eat at all during the day because I’m just not hungry at all and other days I’ll need to eat a little more but that’s probably 29 days a week just two meals a day with no snacking but I don’t do it intentionally.
I think to do an intentional fast especially for spiritual reasons it’s good if you’re just doing it for health reasons I say go for it make sure you hydrate properly but try it and if your body is speaking to you correctly and you’re eating properly normally your body is going to tell you if you’re hurting it and going too long. But once you become fat adaptive your body just eats fat when you’re not eating food at the time and you don’t really get crazy hungry or lightheaded or dizzy and fasting really isn’t that big of a deal. When you’re loading up on carbs and eating french fries and pizza and hamburgers all the time, good luck I could never go more than two or three hours without eating unless I was asleep. When I eat that stuff my body is constantly sending out signals that I have to eat immediately and then I’m hungry and starving but when I’m eating properly it’s just doesn’t really seem to matter and if I have days when I get busy and I’m working till eight or nine or 10 at night and haven’t eaten in 25 hours it’s not a big deal and I don’t get sick I don’t get huge cravings I get a tiny bit hungry maybe but not enough to stop me from doing something I need to do. I don’t think I fasted more than 48 hours before and I don’t know how my body would react but I could easily not eat anything tomorrow I’ll be fine the next day and it’s not really hurting anything I know it still be fully functional and OK as long as I’m hydrating properly and getting enough fluid and electrolytes. From a spiritual standpoint there’s a whole Nother angle on it and being hungry for a day or two because you’re not eating isn’t going to harm you physically you might get hungry and it might be difficult to do but if you’re doing it for spiritual purposes then that might be a good thing but if in general you’re eating properly and your body is fat adaptive going for five days without food is not going to hurt you it might be uncomfortable but it’s not going to cause you harm.
Currently breaking a 7 day fast. Wish I came across this video before hand lol good info!
Really like Dave, he is giving me info I've never heard of before wrt fasting.....seems like a great guy!!
Thank you, Dave Asprey, for your sharing your work with us.....I enjoyed your talk.

Dave, Purchased the Audible version of the book (auditory learner) a PDF "guide" would make the product much more useful. Great book would like an cheat sheet. Thanks again! : ] PS: Prior to the bulletproof diet I weighed 235
9 years later 182 close to perfect... Keep up the good work!
I just ordered Dave’s book because of your charcoal discussion. I’m on day 8 of Fasting February and that is valuable information. Taking a liquid probiotic is good each morning as well I pray-hopefully thr nook will mention that subject as well.
