Fasting Will Change Your Entire Life... 

At the beginning of 2023, I was over 300 pounds. Through consistent fasting, I've managed to come down to 145 as of today, with the ultimate goal of 130 before my birthday in July. It really works, and I feel better today at 31 years old than at any point in my teens and 20's! It really works and I highly recommend not only for weight loss but just general improvements in physical and mental health. You will not regret it!

DR. Mike ive been following you since the end of Feb 2024 and put into action what i learned from watching your channel. Ill be honest i didnt start slow, after the ex wife and i divorced i was pushing about 300 lbs, my heaviest ever so i dove right into the 18/6 fasting!! Ive stuck to it for the last 2 months, eating the foods ive seen you make, and started lifting weights again. Today April 30th 2024 im Down 41 Lbs and feel amazing with so much energy. I recently stopped taking my BP medication as my numbers have gone back to normal. I wanna thank you so much. Ive tried many ways and have had my weight fluctuate so much up and down. You have taught me not only a new way of eating, and eating yummy things that are healthy, but also a better way of living so i can also be a better dad and set good examples for my boys!! Thankyou!!!

Fasting cleared up my acne. The most important thing is to not overeat once you break a fast. Stop eating when you feel about 80% full or it will result in regaing of weight, or for me, return of my acne.

Im fasting 36/12 for 8 weeks eating for 12 but I'm following you and your meals. I'm unable to purchase from you at the time due to finances but I'm following you and you teach me SO MUCH! You are an instrument of wisdom and absolutely God sent. After the 8 weeks I will readjust my intermittent fasting to something more suitable. During my 12 hrs I'm careful not to over eat and follow macs. Started 2 days ago @ 172 1bs at 5'6ft. 2nd day 168 1bs

Glued to the screen on this one. Very eye opening, keep it up Doc.

I eat one carnivore meal per day, sometimes 2. I can easily fast 24-36 without any ghrelin grumbles or any physical discomfort. My energy levels and mental health is incredible. 2 years ago I was sick and depressed. I’m now 20 kilos lighter and feel like I did 20 years ago. Fasting improves everything but the quality of the food you eat is also so important. Stopping eating processed food and prioritising nutrient dense protein foods makes fasting so easy. Once ketosis kicks in, everything changes, you feel alive again.

ive lost 65.6 in 10 month..just fasting 16 to 18 hours..iv been using your plan...thank you

I’m living proof thanks Doc you’re the best out .

I fast for 16-18 hours every day. It's been quite a few months, so it's the new normal. When I happen to stop, I gain weight and I feel more lethargic

I started walking on January 2nd and then water and intermittent fasting. I stepped on the scale and am down 31 lbs. Now I'm back in the gym lifting again looking to lose 15 more lbs and 15 -18% BF.... Intermittent fasting works! #IStandOnIt

So glad to see this video -- absolutely, it totally has the potential to change your life! I'm starting my 21-day prolonged water fast 2 days from today - this will be my 4th prolonged fast in the last 6 years. It has completely changed the way I see and experience life. Thank you for the video :)

I've found a tremendous cognitive benefit with a 16:8 fasting protocol. I am able to concentrate much better by delaying breakfast, and engage in deep work.

Lately I've been fasting anywhere from 24-48 hrs. I've done a 72 hour fast once and I'm trying to work my way up to another 72 hour fast. I've lost 17lbs in the last month.

Amazing video! Fasting has saved my life! I do OMAD now!

I have lost a lot of weight fasting. I do the occasional 36/42 hour fast and do 18:6 or 16:8 most days. It's enabled me to maintain and lose weight at a steady pace. I've gone from a size 18/20 to a 12. I want to be a size 10, so not long to go now. This has been alongside cutting out processed foods, drinking lost of water and reducing carbs.

I just want to say thank u sir i been watching your videos since last year march and still now and been working out since last year march from now and been walking and working out since then i lost 64lbs from 244 to 183 and still going thank u so much for your wisdom 🙂🙏🏾💪🏾🙌🏾 . I been feeling so much better. And its been helping me control my sleep apnea so much better

I've been doing OMAD with 2Hr eating window for more than 2 years now. I reduced my weight by about 5Kg, my blood pressure returned to normal and reduced my fat ratio from 25 to 18%. Just wanted to thank Dr. Mike and confirm his ideas about fasting merits. Recently, I'm trying 48 to 72 fasting and having great results. Please note that I'm practicing sports on an average of 4 times a week & 2 to 4 H per day.

Been doin intermittent fasting (16:8) for 3 and a half years now n its the longest ive been able to maintain my weight loss for consistently

I fast 48 hours, eat one meal and go another 48 hours, only allowing a free eating day on Sunday then back to it. After 3 months, I cured Type 1 diabetes. Yes, type 1. My dead pancreas was resurrected and my endocrinologist just said I’m not diabetic anymore. I ve been on an insulin pump and now it’s gone.

I just got off a 48 hr fast I felt great while doing it, and I stay with a 18/6 everyday

Ever since watching your videos I’ve been interested in implementing fasting into my daily routine. I’ve recently put it to practice going on 2 months now. I’m a pretty solid guy with a lot of muscle mass but my stomach and hip area holds a lot of extra fat. I started at 230lbs 2 1/2 months ago (June) and am now down to 212 pounds (August) on daily 14 hour fasts, with a lot of the weight coming from my midsection area. Thank you Dr. Mike

I fast,16-8. Im 3 weeks in and I mentally and physically feel the change!! With healthy meals and the right amount of protein, with daily exercises! Im becoming healthier and lighter!! Thanks Doc!! Keep them coming!! Ken!! Oh!!👍🏾

Im 13 and 180 pounds and i am going for month and a half. My goal is 120

currently on the OMAD fast for 2 weeks. On Day 4.

I am doing fasting every second month for 7-8 days the feeling is amazing after day tree I’m starting to think really clear. I don’t think about food anymore and I’m so concentrated something like I’m on micro dozing on shrooms and you can see everything so clear. on day seven I don’t even wanna start eating again like you feeling so light like it’s hard to explain how you feel without no food just water. I think everyone should do it once in a while.

Longest fast I did was for 64 hours at the beginning of the calendar year. Did not eat anything & saw my weight go down to under 160 pounds. Helped with my international trip I went on for a family wedding.

Yes, do it! I’m 37 hours into a 120 hour fast

Yes, please please make a 72 hour documented back

🎉Love love love the education!!! New to your page but definitely appreciate all the info. Ive been heavy since 3rd grade. Done many different methods. Gonna do a deep dive on this channel and get my life in order. Thhank you sooooo much😢!!!🎉🎉🎉 KEEP THE INFO COMING DOC🤗🫡

Thank you for this informative video on fasting. Appreciate it ❤

He’s right. Last year I started Amazon , I wasn’t aware of how many steps I was doing. It was around 20k a day or more my first meal was at 11am lunch around 3/4 sometimes dinner, I was so tired I would go straight to sleep. So 14 hours fasting before my first meal. I was melting weight went, then I started FedEx that was 30-40k steps a day same method, I was around 190 before FedEx and Amazon. I am now 155/160 6ft tall I feel amazing

Thank you for an excellent explanation God bless you❤

Great info! Between you and Dr. Mindy Pelz, I turn to the both of your for fasting guidance

Thank God ! I’m Muslim ✌🏻

I do 16:8 mostly & 18:6 when I'm not active during that time. Huge cognitive benefits & really good discipline training :)

Yes pls some more info re 72hr fasting, which liquid can we consume (coffee, water, tea is allowed? And how much) Also how about regular medicine is it allowed? An example...if you have headache is it ok to take the pill or chemical is not allowed at all? How about gymnastic? Is it ok to continue gym during 72hrs fasting? And last with what meal you need to start after 72hrs fasting? Thank you in advance

I'm currently on a 16-8 fasting (or even 18-6), and I want to try the 72h fasting. I've done 36+ hours before, and it was ok. love the video Doc. keep it up! :)

I'm 4 months in on a 18-6 fast with a weekly 48 hour fast. I'm down 70 pounds so far.

Been fasting since november, 36 male, starting weight was 215 pounds, current weight 178 pounds, fasting atleast 16hrs per day, most days its 20-22hrs so technically one meal a day, ive done 4 48hr fasts and 2 68hr fasts. It works, it burns belly fat. Eating was a habit, now its a choice.

ive never seen abs,and man oh man...its finally here

Thank you for your great contents!! Do you know how fasting could affect the primary biliary cholangitis?

Thank you for sharing this informative video on intermittent fasting! I can see how reducing the eating window can help with weight loss. However, I’m curious about a few things: How do you recommend planning meals to ensure adequate protein intake for muscle preservation during intermittent fasting? What are your thoughts on the potential impact of intermittent fasting on metabolism? Could it slow down metabolism, and if so, how can one avoid this? When someone transitions back to a more balanced eating pattern after intermittent fasting, how can they prevent rapid weight gain? Finally, is it realistic to consume the recommended amounts of macronutrients and micronutrients within such a short eating window? Can the body effectively digest and absorb everything it needs according to government guidelines in that time frame? I appreciate your insights and would love to hear your thoughts on these points!

The longest I fasted is 17 days. I lost 15 pounds. I felt amazing but I had to stop because I was obsessing over food, looking at recipes all the time!!! 😂😂

Music in the background is weird, why do people not get straight to the point, what do we do and for how long, and how much does it cost, if you want to know the science you can read a book

I do 10 day fasts..... then resort back to a 22-2 intermittent fasting schedule. A bit extreme, but I feel the benefits.

I typically fast 16:8 and fasting, honestly, was the ONLY thing that helped me lose weight after COVID. it’s also super important what you choose to eat after breaking a fast and making recipes that are healthy, but satiating as well. I’m a huge fan of fasting. ❤

24 Hour fast Friday / Saturday, Sunday 16 hours, Monday to Thursday 22 hour fast.

I have done a 72-hour fast. I dropped some pounds ~6. I may have lost more but I also drank caffeine during that time. The video is really good; however, I would add electrolytes to the water during the fast, (NOT GATORADE!

Hello, do you have any recomendation on how often should I fast?

I started fasting 16:8 without doing the 12: 12 or 14: 10 variant. I gotta say it was easier than I thought. I was 94 kilos at 173 cm, way higher than what I should be at that height. After 2 weeks of intermittent fasting 16:8 I lost about 5 kilos and even increased my fast to a 18:6 instead cause I was sleeping so much that I was waking up at 11 and started eating at 12. I wasn't even hungry after the fast but I had to eat something to keep my body fuctioning. Also went walking for at least 8k to 10k steps per day and did some light weight exercise at home.

ive been doing adf for around 2 months, I have lost 40 pounds, from 225 ish to 186 where im at right now. I fast for around (anywhere between) 36 - 42 hours depending on how long i wait to eat on the eating day eg at 7 am or 11 am. Then actively try to eat less carbs in my meals and more fibre and protein. Keeps me really full, and I am feeling great. Bear in mind i would say anywhere up to like 8 pounds or something was just excess water and excretion etc over the first couple of days.

I've been fasting for three months now at the weekend and my focus when working is so much sharper and I'm able to eat better in terms of healthier choices and I also don't need to eat as much anymore. I've lost lots of weight however managing that part so I don't look gaunt.

fasting from 4pm to 10am the next day, I feel empty, I feel light and ready .. some days its 6pm to 8am..

First meal at 9h after training. Last one up to 14h. Bed at 21h. Works for me.

Thanks for this information. The timing is great. I'm currently fasting and I'm 64 hours in. I definitely feel the difference and my brain fog has improved. My question to you is, how much water intake daily should you factor in when fasting?

I did intermittent fasting and ate one small meal a day for 4 months and lost 18 lbs and felt super during that time. Also i lost various acne, skin tags, underarm boils and my hair grew like wild.

You look great! No need for a 72 hrs

Honestly I use to be a big fan of fasting. And I think it’s still great tool. although couldn’t do it year round.

My longest fast was 26 hours. I didn't feel hungry at that point but my brain felt kind of 'high' and my body felt feather light. I might try a 36 hour fast this week

Hi Doc. Please do and show us the fast

been fasting for 9 years or so mostly OMAD and recently went warrior diet, you did not cover in this video plateaus,

Plant the seeds sir!!!😊🎉

So how should you break the fast?

I have been fasting on and off since 2011 and I have personally had very nice results. It just makes you feel good! However for some reason fasting has worked better for me at some times over others. Not really sure why that is.

I have a doubt... can calisthenics activies substitute resistance training? or give similar results? does anyone knows about that? thank you!!

The point you make a minute nine would make a super great short.😅🎉❤

more on fasting please.

I've been a smoker for 13+ years I'm working on changing my bad habits and recharge my body, how ever I'm a bit scared. Would intamitting fasting work on trying to prevent cancer ? How should I do this?

I tried it last year for 4 months. To be honest I struggled with it EVERYDAY. It was never easy. I fasted for about 18 hours daily. It never got easier. I also have hypoglycemia it runs in my family. So I am not sure if that is why it didn’t work for me. I want to try this again bc the science makes sense but it bums me out because it seems like it doesn’t work for me.

thanks!

My last meal of the day is usually at 9-10pm and I won't eat until I get back from school at 2pm.

Please do the 72hr fast and document it

Good job my brother, but can you talk about you talking to me a whole month? Please appreciate it. I need your help. Thank you so much. Have a good day.

For best results, our last meal should be at 3-4pm.

18 to 20 hr fast a day for me. Flatter stomach. Better mood. Feel more focused and positive overall.

Doc your information really helpful ❤❤❤ for fat loss 💯💯💯😊

Please guys where can I find the PDFs of the recipes ? Thanks

Can i drink coffe or creatine in fasting?

Been following you for about 14 months, lost 75 pounds!! I workout at 530 am and I am on a 8/16 fast, my eating window is 11am to 7pm. I was told if I am fasting and working out, I should eat protein within 30 minutes after a workout (anabolic window). Should I change my eating window to 6:30 am to 2:30 pm?

Yo i lost 13 kgs using IF.. however, i used 36-72 hour fasts a lot.. i even took 24 hour fasts just because they became very easy after some time.. and honestly, i didnt feel that starving at all

I do an 18/6 fast.

Does fasting affect bilirubin? Egg fasting or alternate day to be specific

Dr. Mike - when one transitions to a 16:8, how is it possible to cram .8 to 1g of protein per pound of body weight in that short amount of time?

I’m on day two of my fast. I think I may do a 3 or 4 day fast.

I’m doing 20/4 or 18/6

Real fasting starts 2-3 hours after last meal so if I ate at 8 in the evening I want to do 16 hours I have to eat at 16 or 17h next day, am I right Dr.Mike?

When fasting, do artificial sweeteners have an influence on blood sugar levels?

ate nothing and built muscle? where did he get the protein to build them? from the air?

9y ago ive lost 50kg with fasting alone within 10 months. Due to several surgeries and personal issues ive gained all of that back. Since then its been a battle of up and down with weight. Now im faating full time again, mostly 18-6 or more and am down 10kg in 20 days. Only 60kg more to go 😂

My schedule is rough. Is it bad to START my 18 hr fast 3 hrs before bed?

I fast 16:8. Would like to start 18:6

well as you heard it fasting has fantastic effects on the body lets all wake up drink some coffee and fast then eat breakfast

Idk whats so revelating about this? Our body wants to survive thats why it turns on all these mechanisms because IT NEEDS FOOD.

Yes

I always wonder how people can get enough protein in with a 16hour fast. Seems unrealistic with just 2 meals. Great vid as always though

bro Michael still looks the same

16:8 FTW!

So I get up at 430am and have to be at work at 6am and don't get off until 4. Then I go to the gym so how do I fast??? Help me out with this please

17:7 is perfect for me

are liquids okay, or should these fasts be no food or liquids ? i Do 16 hour food fasts but now questioning if i should avoid liquids too. Looking to do 20-4 split and get into single digit body fat.%
