4:24 Summary
In this video, we’re going to talk about how fasting influences growth hormone.
As you age, growth hormone decreases. When you’ve reached your 60s, 70s, and 80s, there’s not much growth hormone left. In turn, this affects your proteins, which causes your skin, joints, muscle, and hair to age.
Increasing growth hormone helps you preserve proteins that keep you looking youthful.
Growth hormone also helps you:
• Burn body fat
• Increase your lean muscle mass
• Preserve your muscle/prevent muscle loss
• Increase your bone density
• Boost your collagen
Growth hormone peaks at puberty, spikes when you’re sleeping, lowers when you eat, increases with high-intensity interval training, and plummets when you’re stressed.
Most importantly, growth hormone increases when you fast.
• A two-day fast increases growth hormone by up to 200%
• A three-day fast increases growth hormone by up to 300%
• A seven-day fast increases growth hormone by up to 1250%
Short-term fasting or intermittent fasting causes four-times better muscle preservation than a low-calorie diet. Fasting also inhibits protein breakdown-which is known as catabolism.
Fasting is an excellent way to support your brain and nervous system.
Keep in mind that the dietary recommendations for protein are between .6-.8 grams of protein per pound of body fat for each meal. You don’t necessarily need to have a protein shake or other protein supplement before every workout or during your fast.

Fasting has changed my life. I was overweight and depressed all the time. After I discovered your channel, I adopt Keto and IF as my new life style...never feel better about myself before. I am now losing 8kg, and trying to lose more. By doing fasting, it get rid of brain fog as I am preparing for an intense exam, I no longer need coffee or energy drinks to boost my study. You are my life changer. /
Edit: I lost 15 kg in 4 months of doing Keto and IF. Never gain any weight [gain some during holiday, but always get it back down], is doing great for 2 years now.

Hell yes! Fasting saved my life too! Alternate day fasting, exercise and healthy eating ❤️❤️
สุดยอดครับ ชอบหมอคนนี้เหมือนกัน
I was 265lbs. Currently 184lbs all in 1 year. Dr .Berg god bless you !
Wow! Congratulations. I can’t wait to have a success story like that. I haven’t seen 180’s for years now (since I got a car lol!). I just stopped stepping on the scale altogether. That thing is evil. Just kidding. 😁 Congrats again!!!
Congrats! Can I ask how?
Great job!
@@reidbrian08 from keto and intermittent fasting . Over all intermittent fasting works really fast
@@princessjudahbahtisrael5082 fasting is the biggest key . At first it was hard from me to not eat more than 10 hours , now I can go without eating 72 hours without any withdrawals or symptoms . It took me one month to get to 72 hour fasting . But , now all I eat is nutrients not food . So early morning with apple cider vinegar with lemon , then after 2 hours vegetable shake and then after two hours boiled eggs or anytype of healthy fats. And thats it rest of the 20 hours I don't eat .
And once every week I do 72 hour fast instead or 20 hour IF.
I was dropping 1/2 pound per day with just walking 3 miles in park everyday .
I’m glad I found out about the importance of fasting for health and spiritual benefits at age 25
Quite old now 😂

I am holding a really nice amount of muscle and I don’t drink protein drinks. This way of life is so important the older we all get. Stay motivated 🥰
The best things in life are sleep
*is
sleep & fasting
I can't , but yeah
Good one! 100% correct for many reasons, especially autophagy. But in the sense of HGH production, this only applies to men who produce HGH in 4 pulsations during sleep, starting between 10pm and 11pm. Women produce HGH diurnally-as long as there is sunlight. Blue light at night will mess things up in this regard.
Sidhartha Sankar Dutta Right but then it wouldn’t be so very humorous by sounding like “The best things in life are free.” Sleep can also be a lot of different things at different times. Like how it’s not only a biological necessity. It’s also how we get away from the world of nonsense around us by “defragmenting” & de cluttering our minds:)
I do appreciate you noticing & correcting this grammatical error. Far to many mistakes is made and no body notice;)
You have been very helpful Dr. Berg
Great info , as always :)!!
Thanks for sharing Dr Berg and a great 4th of July to your team!
✌🏼😎✌🏼
Wow! This is crazy!! Thanks so much Dr. Berg!
Ohh!!! Thanks for those awesome facts Dr. Berg Sir.
fasting is the solution to everything, you are so right, it is even in the Bible Jesus fasted but it was for other reason, but it does work
Well done Dr. Berg. You are saving mankind from fatal disease. May you live long.. Best wishes and regards to u.
Thank you for all the effort you put into these informative and concise vids -- it's really changed my thinking in so many ways. I'm curious about the extended fasting periods / increased HGH -- how long does the increased HGH spike last? 200% after a 2-day fast -- is that at the end of the fasting period, and then it drops quickly from there? Just trying to understand how frequently a person would need to do a sustained fast to see a constant uptick in HGH.
I love your videos! Everything I need to succeed in health at the touch of a screen 📱!!
very nicely presented. and revelations I didn't know about. As a continuation, please consider a presentation of the Krebs Cycle where the various pathways of converting ATP => ADP in the body and how that cycle reacts to fasting and time. always look forward to your short, info packed presentations.
The Doc seems to make a mistake here with his presentation - the result of the calculation he shows at 3.24 must surely be the amount of protein needed per DAY (not per meal as shown here).
Yes, and it's not the first time that he has this mistake on protein intake… I hope that his social media team sees this and reflects it to him
That's exactly what I thought. A 200 pound young person following 2mad would end up consuming 320 gm [200*(0.8+0.8)] of protein in a day as per his calculation. That's impossible to do on a daily basis, even with protein shakes.
Does he mean eat consumption? 320 g protein really high intake, it's not necessary.
He's so ridiculously far off on protein.consumption per pound per meal that it's difficult to take anything he says seriously, even though I know he's spot on with his HGH info. He should really take down this video and do it right.
Yes he did make a mistake wrt the protein per meal. It is 0.6 to 0.8 grams of protein per body weight per a 24 hour period.
God Bless you Dr Berg!!!
❤️❤️❤️Dr Berg you are the best! Making us feel good all the time, since good food and If does that! Thank You ❤️❤️❤️
Been doing Keto and Fasting for 3 years most I fast is 24 hours I feel amazing .Anything more then that I over eat after fast .
Dr. Berg, thank you so much is interesting. ❤
Aging skin, losing hair...Other than that, I'm doing good... LOL!! Fasting indeed helps with muscle and sagging skin. I've lost 135 lbs over the past 18 months, and I hardly have ANY loose skin, especially around my midsection. Incredible!!! Thanks for all the advice, Dr. Berg!
Will you share with us your fasting routine? I know it's different for everyone but I'm curious to know about yours
please do next how to keep your cardiovascular system healthy and what kind of exercise to do
Great video makes sense if you think about it logically
Except for the reference to evolution by picturing cavemen.
This spurred me on. Haven't been able to fast for years.
Now I'm at 62 hours. Gonna go for 3 days cause of this video. Hope I can do it on a regular basis.
Being keto makes it much easier cause the cravings aren't there.
i dont think its good way to do fasting, i feel like its too much stress, try doing 16-18 hours od fasting every day instead
Another great vid from Dr. Berg. A bunch of people caught the protein calculation issue, happens to us all. Perhaps he'll be able to add a little superimposed text edit for that. It's more like .6 to .8 grams per kg. per day
.
I was wondering how I was going to eat 5 chicken breasts per meal, lol! Did he mean .08 per lb...you mentioned per kg. I'm curious what his correction would be towards this.
good info
Important to mention to build muscle you still need to be in a calorie surplus combo of that and fasting would be ideal
This makes me think about military training. You know, their basic 'Longest Days' or Navy SEAL's 'Hell's Week' or training parts like that. Intense physical demands, and food so reduced that they are effectively fasting whilst going through these training sessions.
It may sound downright cruel to us civies, and just about every civie I have told about these training routines starts looking pale just by listening to it. But I am actually planning on joining, so I've looked into what training methods are the best for gains, both physically and mentally.
I've been eating arguably 3/5th maybe even half of what I used to eat because of unemployment atm and moving into my own place with flatmates, so I had to carefully watch what I'm buying. This has restricted my 'comfort foods', I've not had takeaways for months, my diet currently exists of just whole grain oats, milk, eggs and beans, toast and spinach, sardines and bananas and berries. Most of the times I eat these raw (smoothies), I only fry the beans and occasionally the eggs.
I've managed to smash out just as much, if not more, in my fitness routines than I have before. Working out on an empty stomach is not harder, I've found it easier! My body fat % has visibly gone down (can see more abs, just to name one thing), yet I'm able to smash out more each workout. It's as if my mind feels more relaxed on an empty stomach, and as if my body agrees and enjoys using the stored calories (aka fats) during the workouts. And afterwards I don't even need a massive meal anymore, I just feel fuller with less (keep in mind, it's quality food rather than just quantity food).
That said, I do believe that the military training routines are actually quite healthy. The physical exercises produces more endorphins, the cardiovascular system (lungs and heart) get fitter and stronger, and, as this video shows, the body undergoing a kind of fasting proves more beneficial rather than not.
Thanks again for a brief yet most interesting video, sir! I will recommend you to my future mates in the military, or who want to sign up but need to work on their diets.
Growth hormone also reduces cortisol which reduces stress. Although after 1 day of no food I'm pretty stressed! :D
Dr berg sir very useful information on health like all your videos thanks 04/07/2020
Well a doctor explain all secret so well
00:26 that's comforting
Excellent video once again. Great information. One minor clarification: In women, HGH does not peak at night. Just men. HGH production in women is diurnal. In men it is nocturnal and released in 4 pulsations. Hence, the importance of good sleeping patterns amongst male athletes and men in general.
I think you meant .6-.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight-and only that much if athletic.
Amazing!
Hii
So a 80 kg healthy male should eat 140 g protein per MEAL? That's closer to the total consumption per DAY. You should look into that and edit it.
1 meal/day
6’0” 210 healthy/athletic build. If ate 3 meals then would have to consume nearly 500 grams of protein a day. Thats bold advice. Should be 0.8 per day in my scenario from other read sources. Genuinely believe that was a mistake on his end.
This video is talking about fasting, he used the protein as a point to help with working out and/or preserving muscles
baddpeachez And his point was not a correct one.
I guess you might have inferred from the "intermittend fasting" theme of the video that he doesn't advocate for 6 meals a day plus snacks.... and two pounds of steak/fish are a very nice meal if you're eating the way our ancenstors most likely did as well.... (meaning not flying in pineapples and avocados every day - but rather eat a lot of meat when the kill is available and then hunt again when the tribe - and/or the hyenas - have finished the game.)
All these scientific discoveries.... while many people keep mumbling that this is the end of the world, I thank god for living in this beautiful era of enlightment and quality knowledge.
Hello dr berg . Please i have a question
Can I practice bodybuilding during keto diet and intermittent fasting? Or do you have another opinion?
Thank you
@Dr. Eric Berg would you recommend fasting the next day after a heavy workout? Like if i get out of the gym at 7, eat a good protein / fat based meal and then fast the following day. Would I recover better if fasting boosts my growth hormone? Or maybe fast one day a week for 24 hours?
Thanks
Fasting gives me a lot of energy and focus
Right on time Dr.B
Thank you & happy safe holidays to all. ✌🏾😄🤘🏾💚
Awesome to know, Dr. Berg.
Been IF[12 all the way up to 19 hrs[yesterday], going on a month now.
Has changed my way of living completely.
With 1 day of the week a full 22-24 hrs.
It’s definitely mind-blowing.
My hard workouts while Fasting are quite amazing.
Peace.& Blessings.
Hello Dr. Berg, I have enjoyed watching your videos. Question: Everyone discusses GH in terms of 2+ day fasts. How much of a change in GH levels do we see for 16 to 21 hr. fasts?
According to what I can find, HgH goes up around 100% (doubles) after 24 hour fast.
@@fractale4322 does 16hr fasting can stimulate GH?
@@johnjakemal2105 from what I understand HgH starts to ramp up around 11-16 hours into a fast
Sir@@fractale4322. Does it interrupt your 8-9 hr sleep of stimulating HGH when you have sudden wake up for about 5minutes because of noice and then going back to sleep again?
sorry for my English, it is not my native language.
Hi Dr Berg, I'm 18 years old and I train consistently. I heard a lot about fasting and its benefits, however I'm not sure, whether it would benefit me that much. I'm very lean, almost no excess fat. I've tried intermittent fasting, failed couple of times, because my body was craving food. Do you think I should continue trying, and if so, when and how often?
It will be helpful to use also KG for your friends in Europa! ❤
U should make a video of how to fast to increase height
About the .6-.8 protein per pound rule... Let's say it equals to 50g per meal... I remember your video breaking down the absorption rate and percentage of protein absorption in certain foods like eggs, poultry, whey etc.. if whey was 50%, then do I need to consume 100g of protein to hit my 50g target since I won't absorb the full amount?
TLDR.. do I need to factor in percentages of protein absorption and increase intake to properly hit my target?
Another random question. Are insulin spikes due to carbohydrates (IE sugar) and spikes due to protein different? In regards to preventing diabetes, surely a spike due to carbohydrates will be far worse than a spike due to protein...
Top work Dr Berg 👍
Unfortunately for me, any fast over 24-36 hrs and my muscles do get a little smaller. Everyone is different, I know.
Keto and IF have been and continue to be awesome for me but the reality now is to figure out how to build muscle without fat and without living in the weight room.
This is my concern. I was in the gym constantly and the trainer had me up my calories but I still gained fat. Then I got sick and I wasn't eating enough and I didn't lose the fat in my stomach but I lost the muscle in my legs. I've built them back up a little bit and now I'm afraid to fast because I don't want to lose the muscle in my legs but in order to heal disease they say you need to fast at least 3 plus days. Hoping somebody else chimes in on this thread.
@@joliepollman
Since I posted that a couple years ago, I've learned more and fine tuned my own life, so to speak.
For what it is worth, it took a bit of time, over a year to really dial in on what was best for my particular metabolism. You'll probably need to do the same. But with time and patience you'll find out the ideal IF time for yourself whether it is 24hrs or light. Just make sure that once in awhile you do a full 24 to 36 hour fast. And also don't forget you're human and have a little naughty stuff at Christmas. Keto/IF it's very forgiving and you'll get back on track in no time☺
Dr. Berg,may I ask you to further explain .6 to .8 grams of protein per pound of body weight per meal. The reason I asked is because I've been watching tons of health videos (yours, Thomas De Lauer's and many others) for quite a while now and I have heard that it's per day and not per meal. Please explain,thank you!
Per day it is. your body cannot take that much in anyways
Well I just finished a 24 hr fast..what good timing
I m on 23 xd
Nice work folks. I finished a 48 hour one this morning with a nice meal.
Hour 36 as I type this. Going for 48-60. I do what I call a "turbo fast" by starting with an epsom salt laxative (2 Tbs. dissolved in to 3-4 cups of water drank all at once)... I believe it helps get to the fat burning and autophagy stages quicker by rapidly removing all or most of the food from the digestive system. In other words, I can feel the fast ramping-up 4-6 hours after the laxative; otherwise, without the laxative it would take 24 hours. I do consume plenty of water and some pink salt during fasting.
hi,im a 140 pound male,i have no fat

Is it "really" worth it to fast for 3 to 7 days to improve the HGH? I have read that the hormon will only circulate in the system for around 30 mins.
Are the "side-effects" of the prolonged fasting worth the HGH boost?
Lovely greetings from germany

I’ve read it begins the Decline at age 30; funny, that’s when I began gaining weight.
Saw a dude in Spain pumping a 400 lb Bench Press at age 71.
Must have been on HGH supplements.
He wasn’t fat either.
I feel IF combined with hard weight workouts & running Upstairs with ankle weights does a ton more than just following a KETO diet,, because there is such a thing as extremely healthy carbs-extremely low sugars and high protein choices, whether vegan or non-vegan.
Thanks doctor Berg, i follow your teaching about keto and 1 meals a day and i have lost 10kg in 1 month
Wow, hẳn 10kg / 1 tháng cơ à. Tớ thì 9kg 3 tháng. Cậu giảm nhanh thế

@@antoniadispalato2900all day fasting is good when either of us feel full from dinner , or lunch the day before. I'll break my fastin dinner the next day. I haven't done waiting for breakfast the next day. My macros are 20 total carbs. I'm 5' 4" and CW 187. Even if it's keto and I go over I may be bloated and not lose weight. Also, I stick to 60-65 g of protein Or 3-4oz protein per 2 meals. I usually calculate fat by using 1Tb of butter/oil to cook and 1Tb of homemade caesar/ranch dressing. Then I finish the night with cream like making chocolate mousse and 1-2g carbs if my carbs allow. I hope this helps.

Can you make a new video about pre-workout and post-workout meal again? How long does it take for the food to be used in working out?
Food takes 24 hours or so to digest to pre and post workout meals are actually myths spread by the fitness industry to fill their pockets
Protein requirement is based upon lean muscle mass. You don’t need to support fat. Not too easy to estimate ones fat percentage but in my case I’m pretty sure I could cut it by 25 to 30 pounds for sure.
Hi Dr., How do I fast? Example not eating or drinking for 24 hrs or can I drink water or hot tea?
So I'm just confused in this video it said that you should fast for whole days to boost human growth hormone, but in other videos from Dr. Berg said they should do intermediate fasting. Which one boosts the human growth hormone and which fasting boosts the human growth hormone more.

Doesn't fasting for 16 hours increase GH by 2000%? 🤔
That's what I thought. I watch a lot of Thomas Delauer and Dr. Berry too maybe one of them said it. I guess either way it's still positive
Might be Dr. Mercola
Thomas said a study said after two days of fasting it increases up to 2000%. I just looked it up because I was curious.
😂😂😂😂 thats what I am waiting for
@@thomasjones9559 It was Thomas Delauer. I believe the 18 hour fasting results were 1300% for women and 2000% for men. So if you can go 18 hours fasting everyday and work out about an hour or two before breaking your fast you'll maximize both growth hormone production and fat burning potential.
I wish I could go back and do Keto and fast 10 years ago.
How to combine fasting, eg 16/8, and resistance training for best result; fat loss and increased strength?
I fast 2 days a week for 1 month
I gain muscle almost 3-5 kg.
It's easier and very fresh to workout
I don't remember where, but I heard that GH during fasting doesn't have anabolic effects. So you can't grow your bones, muscles etc

Hi! Do growth hormone supplements can cause acne?
Hey Eric, correct me if I'm wrong but its per day, not per meal.
Assume someone is 160 lbs x 0.6-0.8 = 96-128g. Thats my daily protein intake over 2 meals. Unless you were referring to doing OMAD.
What about dry fasting on GH and TESTOSTERONE
How does the omad diet correspond to the Groth Hormon increases? If at all?
Dr.Berg you said .6-.8 g Protein per meal, I think it should be - per day,
Please rectify
Its per day but you only eat one meal a day when doing the intermittent fasting so your hgh levels can spike so you have to get like close to 150 grams protein all in one go. Half a pound of steak, 2 cans of tuna, Side of lentils and quinoa (1 cup each) 4 eggs = about 150
I'm 5'3 and male; I'm south asian, but even asian this is fairly short; as an adult, I was asked what I did as a kid; I ate a lot of sugar (was overweight); I barely slept well daily (slept after 11:30 from my childhood onwards, or later) and never excersied (TV and video gaming). My dad is 5'7 and mother 4'11.. my Dr. insists it's all genetics, but I think I supressed my growth hormones (I've heard that every generation should be taller than the previous all things being equal plus advances in food/medicine; I should've been at leats 5'6/7 if I followed these growth hormones lessons). Wish you were around a couple of decade ago Dr Berg.
Could be. Phenotype is a real thing after all.
Nice
Thanks for watching!
What can you do if you try it for the first fime and from hour 22 onwards, you start go get a migraine headache? Should you build it up every week longer?
Is he talking about fasting during the day, or his 16-20 hour fast he mentions in another video. Is an eating window of 1pm - 6pm....or something similar okay to do???
Actually, with fasting you lose muscle mass, that is guaranteed, but not as much as you would initially think.
Hi Dr. Berg,
Not eating anything 7 days only drinking water?
Short-term fasting sounds good. Lots of good benefits. So how OFTEN should we do said short-term fasting? (I'm talking about 3-7 day fasts, not intermittent daily fasting.) Once a month? Twice a year? There are so many differing opinions out there... /sigh
Hello ! question how long does your increased gh levels last after let's say a 24 hours fast , after you eat does your increased gh levels drop instantly or does the that gh levels circulate the body for a few days after you broken the fast ??
Thank you for the info but I am a bit confused here. I am 172 pound and when I multiply this with 0,8 gram protein, then I have 137 gr. protein per meal. Is this not too much per meal? It sounds like mostly my daily protein need. Am I wrong Dr. Berg?
What can we drink during fasting?
do you have an idea how the protein thing works with one meal a day?
I am not sure if I got it right. I weigh 165 pounds (I am tall and lean) and pratice high intensity exercises daily. So I should eat 165 * .8 = 132g of protein per meal? Assuming I eat 2 meals a day, which is less than most, it would mean 264g of protein and roughly 950kcal only of protein. Assuming I would eat 3 meals it would be about 1400 kcal of protein daily. Is that correct?
My daughter had a major party, eating all the bad food, she was bloated like a balloon and had a hangover like bad mood in the morning, though never had alcohol since she is 11, i I said right ,do 18 HRs fasting after you had your+ healthy meal, and don’t eat junk again. She was so depressed, my goodness
