14 days of IF and 40 hours into my first 48 hour fast. I follow a keto diet when I do eat. I have'nt had this much energy in years. I have lost 22pounds and my muscles recover a lot faster after training. This is my lifestyle now and I will never go back to any other. Thank you very much for the videos it has helped me a lot.
I am curious. Do you have osteoarthritis or rhumatoid arthritis? I have osteoarthritis in my right shoulder. I have been on a low carb/almost keto diet for nearly nine months now. Although I am intrigued by autophagy, I must admit it scares me a little. I have lost a fair amount of weight after cutting out carbs significantly even though I didn't need to lose weight in the first place.
@@ADAPTATION7 I had rheumatic fever when I was 10 years old and ever since I have been susceptible to inflammation, stiffness and joint aches with low grade fever at times. This was a normal for me, especially after too much exertion. I also suffered from an undiagnosed tooth infection for 30 years, with similar symptoms. So I'm pretty happy that low carb and autophagy has improved my health so much.
Was planning to water fast for 7 days. Energy levels were going down from day 1 till day 5 and then suddenly on day 6 felt like a superhuman. On day 7 felt full of energy, super excited, light and fast. Cognitive function boost. Mood boost. Smoker's dry cough, sneezing and morning sinusitis were gone by day 7. So I decided to extend my fasting to 2 weeks. I did a 24-hour fast quite a few times before, 3-4 times a 72-hour one. And mostly I'm on IF 20/4 (OMAD/2MAD). So I was sorta well prepared and had a very light vegetarian diet for a week before I decided to go for an extended one. So far feeling great (today is Day 10). Regenerating my body, drinking only water and when I feel hungry, sometimes I have a cup of green tea. Also I have my regular cardio walks - 9-10km/ 2-3.5 hours a day. Wouldn't dare to consume ANYTHING that might interrupt this amazing transformation : ) Once I tried adding lemon and ginger to my water. The next day I felt an unpleasant bitter taste on my tongue. Decided I can go on without it XD
@@DaniRush_ Re-feeding is being the real struggle. I managed to water fast for 40 days. Fasting was easy. But re-feeding requires a lot of patience and self-discipline. Feeling now completely opposite - very weak and like a newborn, teaching myself to eat again. : ) The sudden drop of energy happened on day 37-38. Before that I was adding salt, ACV and lemon juice in my morning glass of water to keep my electrolytes in check. It helped. I was able to do my cardio walk almost every day and work online. But now I am really struggling breaking my extended 40-day fast... It's like, breaking your fast is the price you pay for all the benefits you collect while fasting.
Aleksandra Arbuzova woww 40 days? Is it beneficiary doing long term IF? I couldn’t even strike a 7-days fast let alone a month. How are you feeling now? Better? In terms of energy/stamina-wise? I hope you’re feeling good
What I want to know is how long do you have to STAY in autophagy once you get there to do any good? 1 hour? 12 hours? I've never heard the answer to this.
@@1flybyguy I'm on n day 5 of a dirty fast, & I can actually see the autophagy doing it's job on my skin, then the ketones eat more fat, and the autophagy comes behind and cleans up the skin. It was first noticeable Saturday evening, day 3, but it's still noticeable today, day 5
I have been on a 20 and 4 intermittent fasting Carnivore diet for 6 months and have lost 87lbs. Just recently have been researching autophagy and I am quite amazed at this natural process. I started a 3 day fast today which will be my longest fast so far. So do you think autophagy was what helped mankind survive over so many thousands of years? Probably was quite normal for humans to go several days without food then feast on a fresh kill. I hope autophagy can help solve so many illnesses and disease. Every physician needs to be preaching this to their patients to help them reverse illness. Thank you for this video, very helpful.
I’m on my 5th day of my soft dry fast. Have found it easier this time as my longest has been 3 days, do feel weak now! Will break it tomorrow morning. The autophagy is the thing that has got me going this long.
0nes And Zer0s soft dry fast is when you can’t have food or water, but still can take showers and brush teeth etc. Hard dry fast is when you can’t make any contact with food or water, which means no showers or washing hands etc. Hope this makes sense to you.
0nes And Zer0s actually I been on a hard dry fast for 60 hours and I don’t stink... I was surprised I just knew I would be funky by this time but I’m not... I’m starting to think what we eat makes us stink... I will have to research this to be sure...
@@Dr.RoseQuartz --- Not just what you eat , what you drink as well . When I was in the Army we did Physical Training every morning starting at 05:30 and would continue until around 07:00 . While we were on our exercises you could tell who'd been out drinking the night before because they stank severely , they gave off an ammonia smell that was just horrible . Some of the soldiers "Fell out of line " most often to puke because the drunks were so bad smelling .
My fasting journey has evolved to 44/4 Alternate Day Fasting (ADF). 44 hours straight fasting, 4 hours feeding. Treadmill cardio on fast days. Resistance training on feeding days. (A few hours before ending the fast.) You won’t crave bad food or alcohol. I feel FANTASTIC! Mental focus too! And the pounds MELT off incrementally on a daily basis. I’m only 9 lbs. away from my target weight & waist numbers. You don’t hear much about fasting, because nobody makes any money off of you eating less! Truly a FREE, DIY weight-control lifestyle!
I've been fasting 6 weeks I've loss 16 pounds but most of all I feel amazing I usually fast 20 hours a day 4 hour eating window I'm fasting 26 hours know 4 days a week I look so different then when I started
Your right fasting even intermittant fasting makes you feel great inside more energy and just feel great . Nèed to try it for some time to know and feel this but it worth it .
That’s great! What are you eating, when you eat? It’s been awhile since your comment, any updates? I hope all is well, Bless you and all who reads this .
Fasting = not eating for six weeks!!? That's what you said. Then I realized that you meant intermittent fasting. (I guess?) I am fasting at present, so far I've just about finished my fourth day. I mean water-only fasting. Intermittent fasting is something I've been doing for several decades. Now I'd find it very difficult to eat breakfast earlier than about midday, sometimes 1-2pm.
@@judylloyd7901 that's how I ate most of my life, until the doctors started demanding that I eat 6 small meals a day! Now I'm back to eating more naturally!
Remember that prehistoric man didn't sit around fasting, they were forced into famine, and my point is I never hear anyone mention that fact that a starving people didn't sit around during autophagy, they are walking, hiking, even running in an effort to find food. This exercise makes all the difference in how fast autophagy will start. Of course, who is going to walk 20 miles while starving and weak. But my point is the body is desperate for amino acids to support finding food and that is what drives autophagy. Without the exercise you are probably not getting but a fraction of the effect.
I do 24-48+hr. Fast. A great way to quickly enter Atophagy, is to do a Baking Soda or Sea Salt Flush at the beginning of your Fast, to clear out any fecal matter that would be utilized by your body as a fuel source. I do a minimum 64iz hot water w/ 2 tablespoons Baking Soda ratio. If my colon hasn't completely cleared out all 'Brown stuff', I do another Flush until the fluid excreted is light yellow in color. Therefore I know my colon has completely cleared of all fecal matter, and atophagy can begin. I drink lemon water and geen tea throughout the Fast to remain hydrated. Pinch of Sea Salt for energy. Dry Fast if you need deeper healing.
Get your blood glucose under 70 mg / dl. That's when you're hypoglycemic. Insulin is shut off and glucagon is activated. After that, the longer you stretch your prolonged fast, then the stonger autophagy is. Good luck.
So, in essence, fast for about 48 hours to reach autophagy. And stay away from carbs because carbs trigger insulin release, and insulin shuts off autophagy. Thanks!
Hi . My doctor put me on aspirin 100mg daily for blood clutting. I fast daily 18-24 hours and I do 3 days fast from time to time . What you think about aspirin daily on empty stomach?
That's on them. Just a matter of periodically taking breaks from food. We aren't meant to sit around day in, day out and eat fake food until we blow up. Pretty sure there wasn't an obese caveman, ever. we are meant to work for food. So if most aren't willing to do that, then most won't reach autophagy, that's why our "advanced" society is sicker than ever. Sad but people can change their habits and change their health.
@@MariaAudioChick "...our "advanced" society is sicker than ever" - this is not true. Your cavemen lived up to 40 if they were lucky. Nowadays people often die in their 80-ies or even 90-ies.
@@trubadyr99 Cavemen didn't die from diabetes, heart disease, cancer, or Alzheimers, which are diseases of "civilization" and the four main causes of death in the western world, due to our SAD diets ☹
@@judylloyd7901 All right, they didn't die from all these in their 80-ies. Whic is exactly my point. They used to die in their 30-ies and 40-ies. But were they "healthy"? No, they suffered from multiple badly healed injuries, fractures, were covered with lacerations, e.t.c.
I found autophagy in the bible Matthew 9:17: 14 Then John’s disciples came and asked him, “How is it that we and the Pharisees fast but your disciples do not fast?” 15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is still with them. The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast. 16 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17 Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
'...they pour new wine into new wineskins...' relates to the tearing down of old cells to make new cells or new wineskins. That Holy Spirit is poured into people who have fasted.
There is no money in it and consider you won’t eat cereal for breakfast, fast food for lunch and others, you are putting a lot of people out of business specially those one percent that own 80% of the wealth.
Dr. LeGrand, am healing daily, recovering from wht I believe is/was 'irreversible' brain damage, from b12 deficiency. Face and hand numbness seems to be disappearing as well. Alll bc of a few days of fasting, combined with Omad I believe. Think I need more water tho. Ty for sharing this topic+ info.
Update : Much better, but more work still needed. Goal : more 24 hr fasts, hydrate, take sea salt as needed for electrolytes, more 48 hr fasts, 18.5- 20 hrs daily, Keto - 50 carbs max, better, healthier refeeds, more exercise, cold showers - short amount of time, and sauna - check w/ Dr ofc .. Congrats on almost 20 K subscribers!!
I heard about this in Anatomy and physiology class in HS. It was not presented as interesting as this, as far as scar tissue and old cells that aren’t necessary. I started a 40 day fast today. I will document on my website. I’m definitely more excited about days 30-40 now! Thanks!
Your welcome. I did a video on this just recently here it is: Autophagy Fasting: Does Dry Fasting Reach Autophagy Faster? th-cam.com/video/Ek430btCBI4/w-d-xo.html
Thx Doc. Very useful video. Will be following you for new ones. As for my efforts on Autophagy and IF, I have first heard about it in Oct 2019 :) pretty late I know and I started trying it right away. Regularly in IF everyday now for 4 months or so practicing the 16-8. Very rarely 18-6. Remarkable benefits in all the areas mentioned in all youtube videos like yours; increased stamina, better performance in the gym, retention of muscle mass, leaner muscle look due to loss of the excess fat. I have gained maybe 1 kg over the course of 4 months but definitely look better in the mirror, thus, the gain is probably in the muscle mass. IF is difficult/strenous in the first couple of weeks until the body adapts to it; then the hunger is almost unnoticable for the 16-8. I dont know the effects of autophagy yet :) but the bloating is gone, belly flattened noticeably, more energy and stamina on every stage I need :) I work out better in the fasted stage, thats for sure. I drink 1 cup of black coffee and lots of water during the fasted stage. Reduced the carbs as well and trying hard to keep it reduced at all times whilst I am eating; thus I maybe going into Ketosis, but not too crazy about the Keto at all. So glad I came across the IF. Big promoter of IF now and recommend it to all I know around me. Sorry if the long comment is boring :) Stay healthy and God bless
Hi, I have uterine fibroids and my thought process was that I could use extended fasts with the goal of autophagy to shrink them. Do you think the growths themselves are preventing autophagy?
I have a 6 inch chocolate cyst on my left ovary how long should i be fasting for . I was on dinogest for 3 months and it didnt help me . I now want to fast .
So we have to burn through, Glycogen and Fat then Autophagy, so like a stage after ketosis takes place? I'm probably mixing it up the relationship. With fat burning does that mean visceral fat and then subcutaneous fat?
Hey there.. I’m practicing the carnivore way of eating and have done since 10th December 2019, I eat one meal a day and fast the rest of the time. Most of the time I fast over 24 hours. The other day I did a fat fast for 48 hours and I felt great, lost a couple of lb.. no cravings or nothing. On that I had maybe 2 small teaspoons of homemade butter in the day. Would fat fasting stop autophagy? And what is your opinion on fat fasting. Also, I chose the fat fast because I have epilepsy and I’ve heard a diet high in fat can help with that issue. Whilst fasting I didn’t want to starve my brain of fat, even though I was in ketosis... Oh, and my meals consist of a moderate amount of protein and high good quality fats - homemade butter, homemade mayo, and hard cheese. I’m zero carb. Sorry about the long message, I really hope you can tell me what you think x

Help! I’m on day ten of water only with the following exceptions spread out over a number of days: 4 cups of green tea and a total of maybe one and a half teaspoons of organic coconut oil. That’s it besides most days I remember to have a couple of teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar. It’s getting a bit confusing trying to listen to a bunch of different videos. I followed one suggestion and ordered LYTE show for a lecture lights after hearing about how Owen help with energy, but does that stop autophagy? Then the other big question for me is about bee pollen. Years ago when I did a long fast I did bee pollen and I felt great. Right now I am weak, spacey and exhausted.… Yet refusing to quit my goal is to do a minimum of 25 to 30 days… And I worked a 45 hour work week where I’m on my feet all day taking care of a patient one on one. Looking for helpful advice. Thanks!
Green tea will not turn off autophagy. If your doing a fast for that long you really should have a local health professional checking you out to give you the best advice since he or she can examine you.
Thanks for the informative video 🙂. I am doing keto I want to know if I drink tea with 100 ml of double cream which contains 1.6 sugar and 1.5 protein will it stop autophagy ? TIA
Yeah "begins" however, I don't believe one must fast for 3 days to reach autophagy if IF 16-8 is done daily, plus a high fat low protein minimal carbohydrates diet. It all depends on the individual. There can't me one formula for every one.
Wrong. Ketosis is not the same as autophagy. And it’s not the same for everyone. It depends on how much fat you have. The body burns glucose first (glycolysis) , then fat deposits (Ketosis), then protein (Autophagy).
Could fasting help with a scalp fungus? Is it possible for the immune system to kill the fungus?.I have tried everithing including antifungal medicine.
Hi doc. I got a question regarding autophagy.. now if autophagy recycles old and dead proteins. How old are these proteins? 1 or 2 or..etc days?.. how long do dead proteins stay in the body? And what happens to them if autophagy didnt start?
These are all very good questions. Each organ in the body regenerates completely some longer than others. I don’t know the exact days I will have to look into this and see what I can find.
Dr. LeGrand, do you have recommendations for someone in the beginning phase of Parkinson’s disease? I understand that Parkinson’s is a disease that many doctors avoid discussing because unlike MS, it does not go into remission. There are many more discussions about Alzheimer’s despite the similarities to PD. What would you do Dr. LeGrand if you were facing Parkinson’s? I am fasting 16 hours a day, no grains, no added sugar, only fruit is berries, daily cardio, omega 3, Vit Bs. What would you do doctor?
Dr. LeGrand, I am a diabetic and I am hoping to 'reboot' my pancreas. I have heard of studies where losing a significant amount of weight is needed to heal the pancreas. i have tried fasting (very hard to do when you have access to wonderfully cooked Thai food) asnd it seems to woek VERY well, concerning my blood sugar levels and weight loss. But, I have not been strict and it has not lasted more than 4 days-Cream with coffee and moments of weakness. What are your suggestions? Thank you very much!!!
Love the video. But you don’t mention of this is in regards to dry fasting or water fasting. I assume water fasting. I would love the same type of video in regards to dry fasting because I think the time to autophagy would be less.
@@natureshealthclinic - did you get to read up on Dr Filinov's work? I dry fast twice a week for 36-48 hours, and do intermittent dry fast 16:8 the rest of the week. I do live a mostly frutarian type diet. I wondered if you would be interested in me doing a "clinical trial" regarding dry fasting autophagy? Maybe some others would also be intrested?
Answer : Optimal levels reached around the 18th hour. Not eating or drinking anything that could raise Insulin levels for 12 hours opens up the doors of cells to start letting things go. At around hour 14 the benefits start to happen but only if this is done DAILY. Fasting for 16 hours is even better, the cells are wide open but around hour 18 is when the benefits are maximized. The cell doors are wide open flushing everything from viral infection to inflammation and toxic substances out of the body. Doing this daily has a lot more benefits than just doing it once a week, because not letting your body heal for 6 days a week and then trying to cure something within 18 hours just isn't possible. This is why OMAD is so powerful ( One Meal A Day ). Once your brain adjusts to the new eating habit (3 months or 8 months into it) it will be easier to skip an entire day of eating and fast for 24 hours or longer. Make sure to consume lots of raw cruciferous vegetables during your eating window so the liver has a way of cleansing the body of toxic hormones such as estradiol (breast-and prostate cancer hormone)
Hi, may I ask a question? If I break a fast with 1 tablespoon of Psillium husk for the sake of extended fasting, how quickly am I going to be back in fasted state? I mean, autophagy wise. Or maybe, there will be no point continuing the fast since I broke it? I'm practicing OMAD protocol and low-carb diet. Thanks
Thats why I say there is no concrete time it depends on the person and a lot of things. Like what kind of diet were they doing before and how fast their body metabolizes glucose etc.
Great video Doc. Just liked and subscribed! Do you think a 14 day water fast in which one is mostly at home resting and in DEEP autophagy can regain hearing loss? Could autophagy potentially regrow or help inner ear hair cells to regenerate? Thank you so much

Hello, wondering why people fast for weeks if it peaks at around 48 hours? what would the benefit be of doing it for a week or 2 or 3? thanks so much. great video.
I have a question. I get cold sores especially with the change of season. Do you think autophagy could help or hinder due to the virus cell proliferation? What about other viruses?
I used to get these a lot. Especially when I was really sick or dehydrated. Once I feel it coming on, I eat a very alkaline diet for about 3 days and take shots of apple cider vinegar morning at night, and put in on the cold sore. It goes away within 1-2 days doing that and after fasting and eating way more veggies, I haven't had one at all in about 4 years.
Thank you for this next level of education. My question is - Does macro-autophagy "recyle" the cell into the same type of cell it "ate"? I understood that while our bodies can add fat cells when we keep feeding it excess carbs, that we can only shrink the fat cells, but not reduce their numbers. But if it isn't being used for storage anymore, why wouldn't it disappear? I have been assuming that autophagy "eats" tired damaged heart cells and replace with new heart cells? I am missing some understanding somewhere.
My skin has become very oily and i white bumps. I am on my 10 day of fasting. I did not drink much water during my fast. What could be the reason and what is the solution. I am fasting to make my deep acne scars disappear
Just out of curiosity, let's say you're doing an 18:6 for many months straight (not on a Keto diet). Your daily routine includes heavy weights and cardio during the fasting window. Will you experience cumulative amounts of Autophagy over time even if you never fast for more than that 18 hour window? Will old dead cells slowly get cleaned out over time since you are most likely entering a decent level of Autophagy every single day? Great channel by the way!
I have been doing Keto, IF, dry and water fasting for a year now, I have lost 47kg of weight, and reverted my pre diabetes, I am totally grateful. My other issue is hypertension, this has not gone, I stopped taking my meds for a while and it increased.. what can I do to change this? Longest dry fast 4 days, longest water fast 7 days can you help or advise ? I have approx 8 kg to lose or until the body fat or BMI is under 30. your help would be appreciated so much
The hypertension can have many contributing factors such as stress induced, diet, environmental, electrolyte imbalance etc. really hard to say would have to see you as a patient to know for sure. But really should never taper your medications without your physician doing it especially while fasting.
Hi. Hope you can help me. I do intermittent fasting everyday for an average of 16 to 20 hours. I was hoping to have reached autophagy already :( Doesn't sound like I have. Should I do less intermittent fasting and for longer periods or what?
How are insulin sensitivity and autophagy linked? You talk about how insulin and autophagy are inversely linked, but what about an intermittent fasting athlete who is very sensitive to insulin. Would this person very quickly, and/or easily, reach the 400% maximal levels of autophagy you mentioned?
Insulin is just one of the only markers we have to detect nutrients in the body in this case sugar. Since autophagy is dependent on nutrient deprivation insulin can help us give a ball park of when autophagy is activated in the body.
Questions. Green Tea, or perhaps it's extract Coffee, I've heard increases autophagy. Also, I seem to recall that perhaps even taking ALCAR might increase autophagy too. It certainly would increase fat utilization while otherwise "fasting." What are your thoughts on the use of green tea, pink salt, decaf or regular black coffee, and perhaps too alcar during a what would otherwise be an extended water fast. I've gone from daily intermittent fasting, shortening the eating window to fasting from Friday to Sunday morning for couple of weeks to now Fasting Thursday night until about Monday at noon. I get psychologically "hungry" more than bodily hungry. Feel pretty good day 1 and day 3. Day 2 isn't terrible, Monday morning I feel like my adrenal's are fatigued and it's time to re-feed!
Yes green tea and pure coffee can stimulate autophagy. ALCR on the other hand is an amino acid and as far as we know proteins and aminos turn off autophagy. And if you are dealing with adrenal fatigue stimulants such as caffeine is not the best choice for adrenal support.
@@natureshealthclinic Hello. Here is a study that indicates that at least in mice it appears that ALCAR contributes to autophagy. www.metabolismjournal.com/article/S0026-0495(17)30249-4/fulltext I haven't been taking any caffeine as of yet. It may be in the future I may for a time use green tea, coffee (regular), and perhaps too ALCAR after I give more time to fasting without such "helps." I'd live to give my current approach another 8 weeks to get a sense for what progress I may expect.
Black coffee (no sugar or milk and not instant coffee) increase metabolism hence energy usage. Black coffee in the morning is also a stimulant and same goes for green tea but they need to be used in moderation, not more than 3 small coffees or green teas otherwise you will build up toxins that may defy the purpose. Black coffee is also an appetite suppressant which help with the fasting.
Hi Doc plz help me as I want to lose weight I have thyroid too I have started fasting In 3/4 I started with 16/8 hours two meals then started with one meal in 24 hours. Lost 1 kg in week. Still want to know more how to do it. I just have Veg curry and Indian breads in lunch rest day have water.
Emma Emmerich mentioned that one shouldn't fast longer than 24hr unless you're reversing illness like cancer etc. Otherwise, you'll lose muscle mass. Is this true? I've read before that fasting doesn't deplete muscle mass since many of us still have plenty of body fat storage.
Is it possible for a person to go into autophagy after 16 hours even if their last meal before beginning to fast was high carb? I try to be mindful of my carb intake but if I'm honest I really eat A LOT of carbs! But I really think I enter autophagy around 16 hours because I've seen results in inflammation reduction, etc doing 16:8 IF.

I have been fasting about once a week for a few months. At lunch time, I like to make tea from Ginger Root and have been adding coconut oil. This makes fasting much easier and doesn't raise my insulin. Is this completely inhibiting Autophagy? I have been exercising after the 20 hour mark to raise HGH.
Hi Doc great video. I have had Type 1 diabetes(UK) for 40 years now no complications and two beautiful sons. I am using a pump and have just become insulin resistant.

Was planning to water fast for 7 days.
Energy levels were going down from day 1 till day 5 and then suddenly on day 6 felt like a superhuman. On day 7 felt full of energy, super excited, light and fast. Cognitive function boost. Mood boost. Smoker's dry cough, sneezing and morning sinusitis were gone by day 7.
So I decided to extend my fasting to 2 weeks. I did a 24-hour fast quite a few times before, 3-4 times a 72-hour one. And mostly I'm on IF 20/4 (OMAD/2MAD). So I was sorta well prepared and had a very light vegetarian diet for a week before I decided to go for an extended one.
So far feeling great (today is Day 10). Regenerating my body, drinking only water and when I feel hungry, sometimes I have a cup of green tea. Also I have my regular cardio walks - 9-10km/ 2-3.5 hours a day. Wouldn't dare to consume ANYTHING that might interrupt this amazing transformation : ) Once I tried adding lemon and ginger to my water. The next day I felt an unpleasant bitter taste on my tongue. Decided I can go on without it XD
Aleksandra Arbuzova any updates?
@@DaniRush_ Re-feeding is being the real struggle. I managed to water fast for 40 days. Fasting was easy. But re-feeding requires a lot of patience and self-discipline. Feeling now completely opposite - very weak and like a newborn, teaching myself to eat again. : ) The sudden drop of energy happened on day 37-38. Before that I was adding salt, ACV and lemon juice in my morning glass of water to keep my electrolytes in check. It helped. I was able to do my cardio walk almost every day and work online. But now I am really struggling breaking my extended 40-day fast... It's like, breaking your fast is the price you pay for all the benefits you collect while fasting.
Aleksandra Arbuzova woww 40 days? Is it beneficiary doing long term IF? I couldn’t even strike a 7-days fast let alone a month. How are you feeling now? Better? In terms of energy/stamina-wise? I hope you’re feeling good
What I want to know is how long do you have to STAY in autophagy once you get there to do any good? 1 hour? 12 hours? I've never heard the answer to this.
Have you found the answer?
@@alljustducky No, nothing yet. Just crickets.
@@1flybyguy so frustrating!
@@1flybyguy I'm on n day 5 of a dirty fast, & I can actually see the autophagy doing it's job on my skin, then the ketones eat more fat, and the autophagy comes behind and cleans up the skin. It was first noticeable Saturday evening, day 3, but it's still noticeable today, day 5
They don’t know, in fact they don’t really know when autophagy begins. The scientific studies I have read say minimum 24 hours to start.
Ancient Eastern philosophies teach how fasting can make someone live incredibly long since it slows down the aging process.
Yes, it slows down cell division.
I have been on a 20 and 4 intermittent fasting Carnivore diet for 6 months and have lost 87lbs. Just recently have been researching autophagy and I am quite amazed at this natural process. I started a 3 day fast today which will be my longest fast so far. So do you think autophagy was what helped mankind survive over so many thousands of years? Probably was quite normal for humans to go several days without food then feast on a fresh kill. I hope autophagy can help solve so many illnesses and disease. Every physician needs to be preaching this to their patients to help them reverse illness. Thank you for this video, very helpful.

I’m on my 5th day of my soft dry fast. Have found it easier this time as my longest has been 3 days, do feel weak now! Will break it tomorrow morning. The autophagy is the thing that has got me going this long.
Well done always good to listen to your body of when to break the fast 😄
0nes And Zer0s soft dry fast is when you can’t have food or water, but still can take showers and brush teeth etc. Hard dry fast is when you can’t make any contact with food or water, which means no showers or washing hands etc. Hope this makes sense to you.
0nes And Zer0s actually I been on a hard dry fast for 60 hours and I don’t stink... I was surprised I just knew I would be funky by this time but I’m not... I’m starting to think what we eat makes us stink... I will have to research this to be sure...
@@Dr.RoseQuartz --- Not just what you eat , what you drink as well . When I was in the Army we did Physical Training every morning starting at 05:30 and would continue until around 07:00 . While we were on our exercises you could tell who'd been out drinking the night before because they stank severely , they gave off an ammonia smell that was just horrible . Some of the soldiers "Fell out of line " most often to puke because the drunks were so bad smelling .

My fasting journey has evolved to 44/4 Alternate Day Fasting (ADF).
44 hours straight fasting, 4 hours feeding.
Treadmill cardio on fast days.
Resistance training on feeding days.
(A few hours before ending the fast.)
You won’t crave bad food or alcohol.
I feel FANTASTIC!
Mental focus too!
And the pounds MELT off incrementally on a daily basis.
I’m only 9 lbs. away from my target weight & waist numbers.

I've been fasting 6 weeks I've loss 16 pounds but most of all I feel amazing I usually fast 20 hours a day 4 hour eating window I'm fasting 26 hours know 4 days a week I look so different then when I started
Your right fasting even intermittant fasting makes you feel great inside more energy and just feel great . Nèed to try it for some time to know and feel this but it worth it .
That’s great! What are you eating, when you eat? It’s been awhile since your comment, any updates? I hope all is well, Bless you and all who reads this .
👍🏻
Fasting = not eating for six weeks!!?
That's what you said.
Then I realized that you meant intermittent fasting. (I guess?)
I am fasting at present, so far I've just about finished my fourth day.
I mean water-only fasting. Intermittent fasting is something I've been doing for several decades. Now I'd find it very difficult to eat breakfast earlier than about midday, sometimes 1-2pm.
@@judylloyd7901 that's how I ate most of my life, until the doctors started demanding that I eat 6 small meals a day! Now I'm back to eating more naturally!
Remember that prehistoric man didn't sit around fasting, they were forced into famine, and my point is I never hear anyone mention that fact that a starving people didn't sit around during autophagy, they are walking, hiking, even running in an effort to find food. This exercise makes all the difference in how fast autophagy will start. Of course, who is going to walk 20 miles while starving and weak. But my point is the body is desperate for amino acids to support finding food and that is what drives autophagy. Without the exercise you are probably not getting but a fraction of the effect.
I do 24-48+hr. Fast.
A great way to quickly enter Atophagy, is to do a Baking Soda or Sea Salt Flush at the beginning of your Fast, to clear out any fecal matter that would be utilized by your body as a fuel source.
I do a minimum 64iz hot water w/ 2 tablespoons Baking Soda ratio.
If my colon hasn't completely cleared out all 'Brown stuff', I do another Flush until the fluid excreted is light yellow in color.
Therefore I know my colon has completely cleared of all fecal matter, and atophagy can begin.
I drink lemon water and geen tea throughout the Fast to remain hydrated.
Pinch of Sea Salt for energy.
Dry Fast if you need deeper healing.
I have to be honest and this guy is a legit cool operator and humble beyond words unlike myself !
I am glad you thinks so 😄 thanks for the compliment 👍
Dr. LeGrand yea I'm an ass sometimes but honesty is a must ! 👍 Only cowards hide behind lies and deception!
Get your blood glucose under 70 mg / dl. That's when you're hypoglycemic. Insulin is shut off and glucagon is activated. After that, the longer you stretch your prolonged fast, then the stonger autophagy is. Good luck.
So, in essence, fast for about 48 hours to reach autophagy. And stay away from carbs because carbs trigger insulin release, and insulin shuts off autophagy. Thanks!
I lift weights every other day and cardio in between. Should I stop working out during a 3-4 day fast in order to reach autophagy?
This is the Best info so far on the ins and outs on practical use of Autophagy.
Glad you think so 😄
Does coffee stop authopagy? Thanks
Hi . My doctor put me on aspirin 100mg daily for blood clutting. I fast daily 18-24 hours and I do 3 days fast from time to time . What you think about aspirin daily on empty stomach?
So would you say that longer fasts rather than OMAD would be necessary in order to avoid a lot of loose skin when losing 100+ pounds?
Would like to know as well.
If by that you mean losing the weight with long fasts instead of OMAD, then yes, long fasts seem like the option that will prevent loose skin the most
Marcel
Thank you!
So basically most people never reach autophagy because they are always eating
That's on them. Just a matter of periodically taking breaks from food. We aren't meant to sit around day in, day out and eat fake food until we blow up. Pretty sure there wasn't an obese caveman, ever. we are meant to work for food. So if most aren't willing to do that, then most won't reach autophagy, that's why our "advanced" society is sicker than ever. Sad but people can change their habits and change their health.
Bravo! Or healing..there can be no healing in the presence of insulin.
@@MariaAudioChick "...our "advanced" society is sicker than ever" - this is not true. Your cavemen lived up to 40 if they were lucky. Nowadays people often die in their 80-ies or even 90-ies.
@@trubadyr99 Cavemen didn't die from diabetes, heart disease, cancer, or Alzheimers, which are diseases of "civilization" and the four main causes of death in the western world, due to our SAD diets ☹

How to know when the body has had enough of autophagy?
Interesting presentation. I am on 16/18 hours intermittent fasting everyday. Twice a month 36 hours dry fast. Today trying 60 hours dry fast
I found autophagy in the bible Matthew 9:17:
14 Then John’s disciples came and asked him, “How is it that we and the Pharisees fast but your disciples do not fast?”
15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is still with them. The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.
16 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17 Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Hmm very interesting find thanks for sharing 😄👍
?
...they pour new wine into new wineskins... (autophagy is your cells being broken down to make new materials, new wineskins).
I don't see how the passage relates to autophagy.
'...they pour new wine into new wineskins...' relates to the tearing down of old cells to make new cells or new wineskins. That Holy Spirit is poured into people who have fasted.
Why autophagy wasn't taught in the school?
Has not been known for very long
Because it was recently discovered
There is no money in it and consider you won’t eat cereal for breakfast, fast food for lunch and others, you are putting a lot of people out of business specially those one percent that own 80% of the wealth.
They do teach it in school, biology freshman year, they go over autophagy when going over lisosomes.
@@gemreivews no its an ancient practice in India
So how long does your body have to stay in autophagy to be effective?
Awesome, I like hearing autophagy can get rid of infections, which I get very easily.
👍
Can you reach autophagy fasting with bone broth? No food- only water and bone broth?
Does autophogy have impact on domaged knee cartilage?

Thanks for the useful information on Autophagy
Doc. Do you know if Dry Fasting kicks you into Autophagy much sooner than Water Fasting?
Your welcome. I did a video on this just recently here it is: Autophagy Fasting: Does Dry Fasting Reach Autophagy Faster? th-cam.com/video/Ek430btCBI4/w-d-xo.html
Thx Doc. Very useful video. Will be following you for new ones. As for my efforts on Autophagy and IF, I have first heard about it in Oct 2019 :) pretty late I know and I started trying it right away. Regularly in IF everyday now for 4 months or so practicing the 16-8. Very rarely 18-6. Remarkable benefits in all the areas mentioned in all youtube videos like yours; increased stamina, better performance in the gym, retention of muscle mass, leaner muscle look due to loss of the excess fat. I have gained maybe 1 kg over the course of 4 months but definitely look better in the mirror, thus, the gain is probably in the muscle mass. IF is difficult/strenous in the first couple of weeks until the body adapts to it; then the hunger is almost unnoticable for the 16-8. I dont know the effects of autophagy yet :) but the bloating is gone, belly flattened noticeably, more energy and stamina on every stage I need :) I work out better in the fasted stage, thats for sure. I drink 1 cup of black coffee and lots of water during the fasted stage. Reduced the carbs as well and trying hard to keep it reduced at all times whilst I am eating; thus I maybe going into Ketosis, but not too crazy about the Keto at all. So glad I came across the IF. Big promoter of IF now and recommend it to all I know around me. Sorry if the long comment is boring :) Stay healthy and God bless
Hi, I have uterine fibroids and my thought process was that I could use extended fasts with the goal of autophagy to shrink them. Do you think the growths themselves are preventing autophagy?
Fibroids feed off of sugar so fasting is a good thing. Also low carb diet.
I did this. I had 15 tumors and used keto and IF and water fasting and fenbendazol. Gone.
I have a 6 inch chocolate cyst on my left ovary how long should i be fasting for . I was on dinogest for 3 months and it didnt help me . I now want to fast .
So we have to burn through, Glycogen and Fat then Autophagy, so like a stage after ketosis takes place? I'm probably mixing it up the relationship. With fat burning does that mean visceral fat and then subcutaneous fat?
Saw a video with Dr Jason Fung where longer terms of Autophagy can protect cancer cells.
The max session should be no more than 48 hours
Do you have a link to that? I'd love to learn!
Very informative.
Thanks a lot.
Your welcome 😄
Hey there.. I’m practicing the carnivore way of eating and have done since 10th December 2019, I eat one meal a day and fast the rest of the time. Most of the time I fast over 24 hours. The other day I did a fat fast for 48 hours and I felt great, lost a couple of lb.. no cravings or nothing. On that I had maybe 2 small teaspoons of homemade butter in the day. Would fat fasting stop autophagy? And what is your opinion on fat fasting.
Also, I chose the fat fast because I have epilepsy and I’ve heard a diet high in fat can help with that issue. Whilst fasting I didn’t want to starve my brain of fat, even though I was in ketosis...
Oh, and my meals consist of a moderate amount of protein and high good quality fats - homemade butter, homemade mayo, and hard cheese. I’m zero carb.
Sorry about the long message, I really hope you can tell me what you think x

Help! I’m on day ten of water only with the following exceptions spread out over a number of days:
4 cups of green tea and a total of maybe one and a half teaspoons of organic coconut oil. That’s it besides most days I remember to have a couple of teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar. It’s getting a bit confusing trying to listen to a bunch of different videos. I followed one suggestion and ordered LYTE show for a lecture lights after hearing about how Owen help with energy, but does that stop autophagy? Then the other big question for me is about bee pollen. Years ago when I did a long fast I did bee pollen and I felt great. Right now I am weak, spacey and exhausted.… Yet refusing to quit my goal is to do a minimum of 25 to 30 days… And I worked a 45 hour work week where I’m on my feet all day taking care of a patient one on one. Looking for helpful advice. Thanks!
Green tea will not turn off autophagy. If your doing a fast for that long you really should have a local health professional checking you out to give you the best advice since he or she can examine you.
You definitely need salt water/electrolytes.
Dr, do you know if decaffeinated black coffee (i drink 3capsules during fasting time i do 20/4) stops αυτοφαγια? ,I also do keto diet for 2 months now
Could you take a metformin to lower and glucagon pill to raise it? To get there faster?
Doctor, how many days good for fasting? I was day 3 water fasting, still, feel hungry. Keep drinking water only.
Ketogenic diet for about 9 years now. IF for 2 years with that. How often do you add in these 24-48 hour fasts?
That was an accurate video. Good information here.
hi... is smoking stops autoohagy?
What about medications like bopropion and lorazepam do they stop autophagy?
Thanks for the informative video 🙂. I am doing keto I want to know if I drink tea with 100 ml of double cream which contains 1.6 sugar and 1.5 protein will it stop autophagy ? TIA
Autophagy begins when liver glycogen is depleted, around 12-16 hours into a fast. YOU’RE WELCOME!!! Smh
Yeah "begins" however, I don't believe one must fast for 3 days to reach autophagy if IF 16-8 is done daily, plus a high fat low protein minimal carbohydrates diet. It all depends on the individual. There can't me one formula for every one.
Any source?
How much does dry fasting speed it up?
Wrong. Ketosis is not the same as autophagy. And it’s not the same for everyone. It depends on how much fat you have. The body burns glucose first (glycolysis) , then fat deposits (Ketosis), then protein (Autophagy).
Could fasting help with a scalp fungus? Is
it possible for the immune system to kill the fungus?.I have tried everithing including antifungal medicine.
Hi doc. I got a question regarding autophagy.. now if autophagy recycles old and dead proteins. How old are these proteins? 1 or 2 or..etc days?.. how long do dead proteins stay in the body? And what happens to them if autophagy didnt start?
These are all very good questions. Each organ in the body regenerates completely some longer than others. I don’t know the exact days I will have to look into this and see what I can find.

Thank you very much!!!
Love the video. But you don’t mention of this is in regards to dry fasting or water fasting. I assume water fasting. I would love the same type of video in regards to dry fasting because I think the time to autophagy would be less.
I will do a follow up video on this even though there is no concrete science of the timing for dry fasting
@@natureshealthclinic - did you get to read up on Dr Filinov's work? I dry fast twice a week for 36-48 hours, and do intermittent dry fast 16:8 the rest of the week. I do live a mostly frutarian type diet. I wondered if you would be interested in me doing a "clinical trial" regarding dry fasting autophagy? Maybe some others would also be intrested?
@@tenpastpete-fruitopian423 I would be very interested in this!
Can you exercise to get into autophagy faster? Is this OK with dry fasting as long as there's limited perspiration?
Answer : Optimal levels reached around the 18th hour. Not eating or drinking anything that could raise Insulin levels for 12 hours opens up the doors of cells to start letting things go. At around hour 14 the benefits start to happen but only if this is done DAILY. Fasting for 16 hours is even better, the cells are wide open but around hour 18 is when the benefits are maximized. The cell doors are wide open flushing everything from viral infection to inflammation and toxic substances out of the body. Doing this daily has a lot more benefits than just doing it once a week, because not letting your body heal for 6 days a week and then trying to cure something within 18 hours just isn't possible. This is why OMAD is so powerful ( One Meal A Day ). Once your brain adjusts to the new eating habit (3 months or 8 months into it) it will be easier to skip an entire day of eating and fast for 24 hours or longer. Make sure to consume lots of raw cruciferous vegetables during your eating window so the liver has a way of cleansing the body of toxic hormones such as estradiol (breast-and prostate cancer hormone)
Thanks for sharing your info
Hi, may I ask a question?
If I break a fast with 1 tablespoon of Psillium husk for the sake of extended fasting, how quickly am I going to be back in fasted state? I mean, autophagy wise. Or maybe, there will be no point continuing the fast since I broke it? I'm practicing OMAD protocol and low-carb diet.
Thanks
Really depends but you should be able to get back into autophagy faster if all you had was psyllium husk
I have watched many videos on autophagy. So far, ten different guesses on when it actually starts
That's awesome!
Thats why I say there is no concrete time it depends on the person and a lot of things. Like what kind of diet were they doing before and how fast their body metabolizes glucose etc.

Hello, wondering why people fast for weeks if it peaks at around 48 hours? what would the benefit be of doing it for a week or 2 or 3? thanks so much. great video.
Autophagy is still happening even after 48 hours so there is still so many benefits to do a longer fast
I have a question. I get cold sores especially with the change of season. Do you think autophagy could help or hinder due to the virus cell proliferation? What about other viruses?
I used to get these a lot. Especially when I was really sick or dehydrated. Once I feel it coming on, I eat a very alkaline diet for about 3 days and take shots of apple cider vinegar morning at night, and put in on the cold sore. It goes away within 1-2 days doing that and after fasting and eating way more veggies, I haven't had one at all in about 4 years.
Thank you for this next level of education. My question is - Does macro-autophagy "recyle" the cell into the same type of cell it "ate"? I understood that while our bodies can add fat cells when we keep feeding it excess carbs, that we can only shrink the fat cells, but not reduce their numbers. But if it isn't being used for storage anymore, why wouldn't it disappear? I have been assuming that autophagy "eats" tired damaged heart cells and replace with new heart cells? I am missing some understanding somewhere.
My skin has become very oily and i white bumps. I am on my 10 day of fasting. I did not drink much water during my fast. What could be the reason and what is the solution. I am fasting to make my deep acne scars disappear
I'm just watching the auto generate subtitle keep failing to recognize the word autophagy lol
So this means with normal IM Fasting 16:8 alone i will never reach autophagy?
Not really
I think that a 2 or 3 day water fast is more effective if you have already been doing low carb 16:8 intermittent fasting.
can autophagy help with CLL (CHRONIC LYMPHATIC LEUKEMIA)
Just out of curiosity, let's say you're doing an 18:6 for many months straight (not on a Keto diet). Your daily routine includes heavy weights and cardio during the fasting window. Will you experience cumulative amounts of Autophagy over time even if you never fast for more than that 18 hour window? Will old dead cells slowly get cleaned out over time since you are most likely entering a decent level of Autophagy every single day? Great channel by the way!
You can especially if your diet consists more of healthy fats and low catbs
Thanks!
I have been doing Keto, IF, dry and water fasting for a year now, I have lost 47kg of weight, and reverted my pre diabetes, I am totally grateful. My other issue is hypertension, this has not gone, I stopped taking my meds for a while and it increased.. what can I do to change this? Longest dry fast 4 days, longest water fast 7 days can you help or advise ? I have approx 8 kg to lose or until the body fat or BMI is under 30. your help would be appreciated so much
The hypertension can have many contributing factors such as stress induced, diet, environmental, electrolyte imbalance etc. really hard to say would have to see you as a patient to know for sure. But really should never taper your medications without your physician doing it especially while fasting.
Ok. So you hit autophagy at 72 hours. How long do you stay there for max benefit?
How often should you do that for optimum health?
Autophagy is at its max at 48 hours of fasting at 400%
Autophagy will still continue and really depends on the person
Hi. Hope you can help me. I do intermittent fasting everyday for an average of 16 to 20 hours. I was hoping to have reached autophagy already :( Doesn't sound like I have. Should I do less intermittent fasting and for longer periods or what?
How are insulin sensitivity and autophagy linked? You talk about how insulin and autophagy are inversely linked, but what about an intermittent fasting athlete who is very sensitive to insulin. Would this person very quickly, and/or easily, reach the 400% maximal levels of autophagy you mentioned?
Insulin is just one of the only markers we have to detect nutrients in the body in this case sugar. Since autophagy is dependent on nutrient deprivation insulin can help us give a ball park of when autophagy is activated in the body.
Questions. Green Tea, or perhaps it's extract Coffee, I've heard increases autophagy. Also, I seem to recall that perhaps even taking ALCAR might increase autophagy too. It certainly would increase fat utilization while otherwise "fasting."
What are your thoughts on the use of green tea, pink salt, decaf or regular black coffee, and perhaps too alcar during a what would otherwise be an extended water fast.
I've gone from daily intermittent fasting, shortening the eating window to fasting from Friday to Sunday morning for couple of weeks to now Fasting Thursday night until about Monday at noon. I get psychologically "hungry" more than bodily hungry. Feel pretty good day 1 and day 3. Day 2 isn't terrible, Monday morning I feel like my adrenal's are fatigued and it's time to re-feed!
Yes green tea and pure coffee can stimulate autophagy. ALCR on the other hand is an amino acid and as far as we know proteins and aminos turn off autophagy. And if you are dealing with adrenal fatigue stimulants such as caffeine is not the best choice for adrenal support.
@@natureshealthclinic Hello. Here is a study that indicates that at least in mice it appears that ALCAR contributes to autophagy.

I haven't been taking any caffeine as of yet. It may be in the future I may for a time use green tea, coffee (regular), and perhaps too ALCAR after I give more time to fasting without such "helps." I'd live to give my current approach another 8 weeks to get a sense for what progress I may expect.
Black coffee (no sugar or milk and not instant coffee) increase metabolism hence energy usage. Black coffee in the morning is also a stimulant and same goes for green tea but they need to be used in moderation, not more than 3 small coffees or green teas otherwise you will build up toxins that may defy the purpose. Black coffee is also an appetite suppressant which help with the fasting.
Does cannabis oil with THC break a fast? No one was able to answer this question.
Hi Doc plz help me as I want to lose weight I have thyroid too I have started fasting In 3/4 I started with 16/8 hours two meals then started with one meal in 24 hours. Lost 1 kg in week. Still want to know more how to do it. I just have Veg curry and Indian breads in lunch rest day have water.
Emma Emmerich mentioned that one shouldn't fast longer than 24hr unless you're reversing illness like cancer etc. Otherwise, you'll lose muscle mass. Is this true? I've read before that fasting doesn't deplete muscle mass since many of us still have plenty of body fat storage.
No its not true that is old information. We know now that fasting increases growth hormones which preserve muscle and bones during fasting.
Is it possible for a person to go into autophagy after 16 hours even if their last meal before beginning to fast was high carb? I try to be mindful of my carb intake but if I'm honest I really eat A LOT of carbs! But I really think I enter autophagy around 16 hours because I've seen results in inflammation reduction, etc doing 16:8 IF.
Not after a high carb meal
Do you think autophagy can help with autoimmune disorders such as psoriasis?

Not just autophagy but fasting can help with psoriasis along with allergy testing
If I'm eating low carb , will I get any autophagy doing 16/8 IF? If not , at what point would I get autophagy benefits? Thanks
Not really. But if you are doing low carb you should reach it by 24 hours
I tried fasting 7 months back where I would eat a meal once in 3 days as I am underweight.. I developed severe allergy and had to discontinue n missed my periods too n developed facial hair too.. planning to restart in 2 months.. trying to put on weight and then will begin as I want my deep acne scars to disappear completely . Doc will my scars disappear?? They r deep and I have not looked into the mirror for a week
I have a question, is it ok to do fast within 24-48 hrs. If I am under medication for my depression?..
I do and it’s been wonderful.
I came back from Japan with some matcha from iyemon. Will matcha break a fast or stop autophagy?
No green tea 🍵 has been shown to increase autophagy
I have been fasting about once a week for a few months. At lunch time, I like to make tea from Ginger Root and have been adding coconut oil. This makes fasting much easier and doesn't raise my insulin. Is this completely inhibiting Autophagy? I have been exercising after the 20 hour mark to raise HGH.
The ginger tea will not but the coconut oil can since its a fat that can still activate insulin very slightly.
Hi Doc great video. I have had Type 1 diabetes(UK) for 40 years now no complications and two beautiful sons. I am using a pump and have just become insulin resistant. Started keto and have had the best, the best blood sugar results ever better even than when pregnant. But I keep picking up viruses and am interested in autophagy. Apart from all the obvious food/insulin probs diabetics have and if those were controlled and approved by my own drs; I am curious whether autophagy could be used to improve my health, and if getting into autophagy would take longer ? Any thoughts?
Thanks
