i do one 48 hrs every two weeks. The other days a do OMAD. I'm on a Keto diet. I am 82 years old and feel like a teen. No more medicines, no more high cholesterol, no more AFib, right weight. I am on top of the world and the one looking after people much younger them me.
Likewise. I'm starting my second 48 hour fast tomorrow. The last time I did it was 4 months ago. I found it very difficult. I managed 42 hours. But yes, I agree, it was killer 😂
@@danielaevans9331 Personally, I think; the key is to not wait until you’re hungry. Start your fast around 6P rather than in the morning. Got to bed, wake up, you’re done with the first 12 hours or so, water, and whatever else is acceptable during the fast thru out the day (keep the stomach “full”) i too had quit at about 44 hrs or so.. I did it as explained above last week, and it worked. I could’ve kept going, I wasn’t hungry at all, but I decided not to.
Trying to stay motivated I’m 44 hours into this fast and felt a bit weak this morning... it’s about to be 1 pm and feeling a bit better 🙌 Thanks for the uplifting on the comments much appreciated 🥰
As a type 2 diabetic, I’m finding the 72 hour fast is more beneficial than 48. The 48 was not affecting my glucose levels as much, the 72 is dramatic. I’m doing it weekly with doctors ok. I still walk 6 miles a day and lift some weights. Day two is the hardest day three is the easiest.
E. Yoly Hughson So far every week (completed one month so far). My doctor is a firm believer in Dr. Jason Fung’s work in regards to intermittent fasting and long term fasting. He recommended The Diabetes Code. The every week is an experiment to see how far we can reverse the condition, so far my A1c has dropped from 8.1 to 6.5. When I do eat, aim for a limit of 35 gms of carbs per day. Fung convincingly says “diabetes IS reversible.”
Dennis Considine hi just got my A1c it’s near to 7. I was talking metformin now my dr put on another medicine I’m not happy. Please can you give me some tips pls Thank you.
Pascale Devalet I’m not a doctor, so I’m hesitant to give advice. Everybody is different, so what works for me may not for you. But one thing that I recently discovered was raw apple cider vinegar. Four tablespoons mixed with water, sipped at night dramatically affected my fasted morning glucose readings. I found, adding one packet of stevia with the mix, greatly reduced the blunt ugly taste of the vinegar and made it palatable. I was surprised at the result.
Yesterday I have completed 14-day long water fast. I have been drinking only water and 1-2 cups of black coffee every day, been taking a 2 hour walks, 15 min full bodyweight workouts, and been working for 8 hours 5-6 days per week. In same period I lost around 12 kg (24 lbs). Now I reintroduced food today, feel much stable now that I have reseted my gut, and from now on will keep doing 18:6 IF every day and 24 h water fast one day per week.
I find when doing a 24-48 fast that it's a good idea to do a people fast as well. I contacted my mother while under going my 48 hour fast, it was a big mistake, my adrenaline sky rocketed I had my father bitching about rot on the first day of my fast as well. I started free falling for a bit but came out of it by night fall and didn't brake the fast. I must have great resilience to be able to get through that. So my strategy is to people fast whilst abstaining from food. I think we all need a brake from toxic people from time to time in fact I my do a complete reset and give certain people and toxic places the boot for good, sugar is another thing that can go as well. Time for a huge reset.💪
Definitely. There are triggers in our family & friends. I love my mother..but I get so anxious when I'm about to call her. I love my family but some of them can be toxic.
I'm 65 years old, weight 239 lbs, and eat OMAD most every day, but had never done a 48 hr Fast. I did it, and I was never hungry, but I ate at 6p on the starting day, then 6p on the ending day. I had even energy and a clearer mind. It was pretty amazing. I lost 3 lbs, but figured I'd gain it back, however, I gained 1 lb the next day, but was back down the next day, so I actually lost 3 lbs. That's not so important as the other benefits.
I fasted for 72 hours and walked 20.000 steps a day, its not gonna get any better than this guys. Now i do 48 hours at the start of the each week, the rest of the time i eat clean. 😁
I'm doing 16-8 Monday through Thursday and 48 hour from Saturday 8am to Monday 8am. Combined with martial arts and weightlifting. It's working wonders. I find that my stomach isn't sensitive when I have my first meal adter the 48 and believe it's because my stomach is used to 16:8. Great info!
Thanks to this video and challenge, which I came across about 2 days back, am 5 minutes away from completing a 50 hour fast. First time doing a fast longer than 27 hours! Just the motivation is amazing! Thanks Thomas!
Thank to Thomas I have lost 17 kg weight in just 64days I dont to gym not at all active though out the day just slow walk for 45mins daily. Started with 16/8 fasting (8 hours of eating window / 16 hours of fasting window) did it for 2 weeks Then switched to warrior diet (4 Hours of eating window & 20 Hours fasting window) for 1 week Than started Alternate day fasting 1 day of 16/8 fasting other day OMAD Fasting for 3 weeks Week 7 & 8 Started with OMAD (one meal a day)
I'm 39 hrs into my first extended fast. Initially I was going for a 36hr fast, but family dinner at 6 is gonna push me to a 48hr fast . Thanks so much for your content Thomas Delauer
Omg, was going to TELL YOU ABOUT THE ZERO APP in the comments....it helped me do my first 72 hour fast ! Every time I was tempted to break fast, I looked at app that showed me how many hours I had fasted so far...and I didn’t want to break it! It even sends little motivational messages🥰
Was on intermittent fast past year ..lost 30lbs....yesterday to today Did a 40 hour fast ...great feeling ....when I broke fast didn’t feel that hungry....felt full with little food..wohoooo
Just recently did a 48 hour fast. Try to it it once a month or every few months. Definitely changed my cravings and energy levels. It's a great reset physically and spiritually! My intention wasn't fat loss, but I could definitely feel autophagy kick in. OMG.
I’m staring today! But I’m pushing 72 hours. I use to do the 72 hours like nothing piece of cake but I stopped😭 so here I am wanting those awesome benefits👍🏽
I am willing to give this a go...started June 24 been experimenting with this lost 15 lbs so far. My body is stubborn and the excess fat I am carrying even more so...Time to say bye bye to the fat and hello to the lean muscle hiding underneath....fingers crossed
I love your content, I am 40 hours into a 48 hr fast and love to watch and rewatch! So helpful, this content helps so many people ypu are a good man sir! You have earned my subscription 🙌 👏 👍💪🤝👌😎
Morning, doing 16/8 Monday to Friday, weights 5 days a week, run 25KM a week, once a month i do a 48hr fast. 3 Years ago, i was on benzo with not light in the tunnel. Fasting is a great way of taking control, makes it easier. My kids pretty much stop eating and only have fruits once i stop eating at 1800. Good stuff
Well, I'm in my 10th day fasting with water and I intend to continue at least 5 more days. I am full of energy, very good mood and my blood pressure is normal now (before it was high). Good luck!
@@AD-hy2se It's my first time, but last 6 month I had made intermitent fasting 20/4. No, I work even better than before, just the day 2 and 3 were a little worst. Also I make every day few exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, things like that. Also I make long walks or bicycle so I can sleep well.
48s are fantastic!! When I see the 'trend' going up on my morning scale I know it is SO EASY to adjust. Drop a 48 and everything is all better. Plus I amp up the weight workouts and have super energy - just the opposite of what I would have ever expected.
I’m 43 hrs into my 60 hr water fast and feeling great at the moment. Currently, doing my core workout, feeling awesome! First time doing the prolonged fasting and keen to end my fast at 60 hr mark. 😊😇 #prolongedFastGoal ✅ #2021_goal
I just crossed into hour 42 of my 48 hour planned fast. Last ate and finished 4 chicken thighs Sunday at 7 PM. I might stop a little early so as to not eat too late, however. Maybe a 47 hour fast?
Ha Ha completed at 8:34 pm Oct 1 2020 so happy and proud first extended fast, not going to lie at about 4:30 pm got hangry kept myself busy and used pink salt to overcome hunger waves. Broke my fast with a 4oz Roasted chicken breast no skin or bones and about 3oz of chia pudding. Huge bonus loss of 6lbs Holy moly this is amazing....used Fasting with zero great app.
I did 48 for the first time last week after 2 months of doing 16/8 and some 20/04 with the occasional OMAD. The major problem was the headache, that wasn't too intense, but I definitely felt it when going to sleep on the first day and then in the morning the next day. In the afternoon of the second day I was energetic and ready to push it to 72 with no problem at all (which I didn't). It wasn't very easy, but it definitely wasn't very hard either. I came out of it saying that this is for like, once every 6 months or something, but now I'm thinking, meh, I could do it again...
@@akosreke8963 Still doing fasting, lately I had breakfast a few times just to try some muscle building theories, but I'm sticking with like 17/8 for the majority of days. Sometimes I Do 20 or 24 (maybe once or twice a month). I never did 48 again simply because I most definitely achieve my "scrawny" state and then some. But yeah, fasting 4 life if you ask me;
I have only been on IF for one month (FEB) and lost 11kg. I do one 48 hr fast from 4pm thurs to 4pm sat every week. I am offically on a 18:6 routine the other days but have not been hungry and often end up OMAD most days. Thanks for all the information.
@@welshdragon2008 what are u talking about? U sound like a complete idiot lol U may need to learn how to read, i stated i was 12 hours into my fast....not that i only do 12 hours.....i do 3 to 4 days in a row each week of prolonged water fasting and do 20/4 intermittent fasting the other days.... not that i need to explain myself to someone who obviously cannot read and just wants to be a jerk as what i do is none of your concern
Just coming off my 48hr fast now, it's been challenging but I feel amazing that I resisted that urge to eat. The hardest part was the nights before bed, but if I kept myself busy, I go straight to bed. Keeping busy is the key, if your mind is off the hunger, you're less likely to think about food or anything. I'll definitely do this again
Wow I had no idea what a food addict I am as soon as I agreed to this it was like a switch in head got turned on I immediately went into panic mode luckily I recognized this behavior and the damage was kept to a minimum. My last bit of food was last night at 8:30pm 2 fat bombs. I am white knuckling this today but I have a 24oz of water with a touch of salt and a green tea. 15 hours in and I feel like I'm about to step off a cliff....
Intermittent fasting benefits 👍 Weight and body fat loss. Increased fat burning. Lowered blood insulin and sugar levels. Possibly reversal of type 2 diabetes. Possibly improved mental clarity and concentration. Possibly increased energy. Possibly increased growth hormone, at least in the short term.
I feel great after a month of doing 48 hours fasting. Technically, it's 47 hours fasting because my eating schedule is 2-3pm every other day. My concentration is better, bowel movement is also good since I drink lots of water/lemon water and I feel lighter.
just started this last monday and am going to do this for 3 weeks to finally get rid of my last 10 lbs. (that I've been trying to get rid of for probably about 3 months now)
50 minutes from my first 48 hour fast. It wasn’t too bad. It’s hard to imagine going an extra 24 and beyond is any more beneficial though. I feel like 48 hours implemented every so often is the perfect amount of time to commit to a fast
This was my first fast and I made it 39 hours. I might have been able to hold out longer, but I went grocery shopping. :( On the flip side, I had some great foods with which to break my fast. I lost 3 1/2 pounds. I'm interested in how much my weight goes up tomorrow.
I've been doing a 15-18 hr daily fast, one or two 20-24 hr per week, one 39-44 hr per month for about 10 months now - i'd like to do a 60+ hour fast once a year ...
I did my first ever fast last week. It was a 24 hour fast. I started my first 48 hr fast aug 9th after breakfast. I am at hour 33. I am hungry but not too bad. I will do another 48 hour fast in 2 weeks but I am going to start it after a dinner instead of breakfast.
I think it's worth mentioning that you should actively avoid being around people while they're preparing/eating food and avoid food commercials. Your brain has mechanisms to aid with digestion that will trigger when it sees and/or smells food. If your brain triggers those mechanisms and you DON'T give your gut food, it will only make you irritable. Don't do this to yourself. You got this!
This slaps, thanks Thomas. I got the app and did the fast...I felt great while doing it, I felt energized, pumped and motivated! My only prob was I felt terrible the day AFTER the fast. I broke the fast the evening before (lean protein barely any dinner) then the next day had some GI problems, they've cleared up by now but what is exactly going on? Is my body just not used to the fast? I followed the advice my stomach just...was not happy at...all...the next day (after break-fast and eating slowly and carefully the next day). Anyway, it's not too hard, keep at it everyone, let's do it together.
Nice I’ll do this on Friday let’s goo. Gota lose 87 pounds of fat. Already did 5 days of Omad just finished 36 hour fast on day 7 let’s fucking gooooo I feel amazing
Just wanted to say thanks for this video. It would appear that while I was doing well in consistently fasting intermittently, I have been eating not so well things like carby stuff. At least now, with this, I can try a few new things to see if it helps me even more. 😁 In the past like 2-3 weeks or so, I think I am down about 10lbs. At least now, I may be able to push it a bit more or see better results. Thanks again for the info & all the info you share with everyone. 😁👍
36 hours in, it's time for me to work out now! Man, I feel sick, yet not sick at the same time... Edit: IT’S OVER AND I HAVE A 6-PACK!! (From 69kg to 66.2kg)
Sounds just like my experience. At 36hrs my body felt weak but with so much mental energy, I don't even know how to handle this manic mood. I'm 30mins from completion of 48hrs. I'll be doing this again in a week. I'm experiencing so much mental clarity. I don't remember last time I felt this good. Oh, and it also seems to be helping with my Major Depression and Anxiety which was the whole reason I tried fasting in the first place. Loosing 5lbs in under 48hrs is just icing on the cake. I dint even know loosing weight that quickly was even possible. I can now see my six pack in great detail. So glad I went through with it. After Wim Hof breathing method exercises, this is best bang for my buck
@@Andreyes2000 Best if you do these types of fasts once a month, you don't want your body to adapt to a lifestyle like that, but only prepare for an event like it.
@@Andreyes2000 Also, I did the EXACT same thing for the same reasons also! Wim Hof and everything! (I'm still going through this journey of self-improvement as I finish watching the values of David Goggins. I recommend you check it out on Tom Bilyeu's channel!)
Hi Thomas, is there a chance you'll run another challenge soon? I'm just getting ready to start IF and keto. It would be awesome to get the hang of it with other people. Just wondering. Btw, I love your channel! I've learned so much.
Hi. Thomas. Craig the guy with keen interest in everything you can do on RU-vid. It's fantastic to join you everyday. Always something great to learn with you. How's everything going? All the best Craig.
I been intermittent fasting for a wile now. Stop for a day only eat twice or 3 times in a still shortened window. I fast over 20 hours a day. Not fasting I still go 14 or 16 hours without eating. To me that's not fasting. And I am the past few days feeling drained and sleeping very exessive 12 and 13 hours a night past 2 days. I eat carbs after protien drink to break the fast. Not tons and maybe not many calories total in my feeding window either. But I am on 500 mg a week steroids 50 years old. I am doing 250 mg a week but added a few weeks at 500mg a week to boost my t levels faster. Being I been doing test replacement for a little over a month. No sex drive at all. None. And very tired for almost all day. Loosing fat fast really fast. I was gaining muscle very fast then boom I feel nothing of the steroids any longer. Nothing at all. No pump no aggressiveness. And now tired as can be. Maybe I need to have the test repair and change my body. And let myself sleep for long periods and even nap in the day. I am skinny fat really skinny and fat pregnant looking stomach. Or was now more muscle and lot less stomache. But I am trading muscle for fat. The only thing at 500mg a week I feel nothing from test. No exessive strength no labido. No aggressiveness nothing. What could cause this to just stop. And now cause me to be so tired I can't get up and walk much without needing to sit down.
Wanted to fast 72 hours but started to "crash" feeling dizzy, seeing spots at the 65 hr mark. I broke my fast with 4 whole eggs cooked in butter and coconut oil.
Wow this is such good map to how to navigate the fast! I just got off my first 48hr fast and it was painful! I did all the wrong things. I figured I just wing it and see how it’s goes and I paid the price for it too! I will follow ur advice to the T since it seems like once a week 48hr fast is beneficial over all! Thanks a million I will heed ur advice!!
I do a 48 hr fast weekly when in weight loss mode, and do that for 4 wks or until at goal weight. The body will tell you if you're taking it too far. For example, I have trouble sleeping and some muscle and joint irritation if I'm fasting too long or too often.
i’ve managed to build upto the 48 hours, by 20h fasts during the week with one 30 and then 40h fast leading upto it. The thing is even though now i have manage to control my craving thanks to IF but i wana knew what food combos are some go to s for everyone else. what the most ideal food combo except for protein alone, i dont want to eat just protein but a lovely plate of food with vegetables or rice or wither or combined with protein of as i go to the gym 5-6 days a week to do hypertrophy training. would love to hear everyone elses experience. thanks for this video as well very helpful and motivational!!
