How Do You Know It's Time to Break A Fast 

I'm on day 17 on water and tea fast 21 pounds down Pains gone all symptoms I had are gone. Knee pain greatly improved. Soo happy

Lightheadedness, weakness, dizziness, disorientation, sleep disturbances, are all indications to break a fast. Do not ignore what your body is telling you and do not force it.👍👍

Dr. Mindy is so correct. I am 85, and have to be so careful with my diet. I can fast a little, but not like I used to. If I try to fast the way I did 10 years ago I can easily experience dizziness, etc and therefore have to start absorbing nourishment quickly. My days of wishing to be a James Bond look-a-like are gone.

I'm 72 years old and healthy. I've been just fine with 16 hour intermittent fasting. So, I decided to try the 20 hour intermittent fasting. I lasted 3 days and was totally exhausted by the fourth day. So, I changed to 18 hour intermittent fasting and am just fine. With the 20 hour fasting, I also felt stressed about eating within that 4 hour window. I'm more comfortable with the 6 hour window and two meals a day. I know I won't be a good candidate for water fasting over long periods, but wish everyone else the best.

I watched this too late. And everything that Dr. Mindy said NOT to do, I DID! I just finished my first 72 hours of fasting and felt dizzy everytime I get up. Also a lot of acid reflux every single night which I have never experienced before fasting. I also walked for 1hr on the first and second day. I added electrolytes on the second and had some quality rest. The last 24 hours was not bad at all. I had the ketomojo and I was on 8.0 consistently. FOR NEXT time, I now know how to invest in a blood sugar monitor. The light headedness and fatigue was so bad a slight movement even laying down was uncomfortable. Thank you Dr. Mindy for the guidance and sharing this important message. Listen to your body!

Am in midst of 48hours fast...past 40hours now and feeling great...doing my floor stretching exercises now... It's my 1st time fasting past 36hours...am in high spirits.. Thanks Dr...bless you..👍🙏🪷

My toughest time for fasting is usually between hours 20-30 Im a big fan of 30-40 hour fasts so far. I have only fasted 5 times so far first one was 41 hours in February. Now I have been coinciding them with Lent fridays for my first semi religious fasts. I plan to follow old Christianity in Fasting every Friday for the Year stopping eating around 9-10pm thursday and ending sometime in the morning Saturday. Todays was a 37 hour fast and feel great. I breakfast by taking magnesium a couple hours before breaking then have some himilayan salt water about 30-60minutes before I have some bone broth. The next thing I have is a steak or something, though I am trying to figure out the best timeframe for this next step. Im not perfect in what I do but it is steps forward and benefitting me mentally, physically, and spiritually. I am also on my Journey to find God which is more important then anything, not that I press this on others, simply finding my own way after 15 years of being lost. Im 30 now and starting to be happy with where I am at finally.

I did my first 50 hour fast last week. I went for a hike around 40 ish hour mark and felt tired etc but pushed through. Going to try and do at least 48 hrs each week. Daily fasting is 17-20 hours. I feel so good when fasting. I've been doing this for a few years but recently been doing weekly long fasts. I feel light and sleep better. This channel has helped me with the things that happen during each time frame. Very helpful :)

Listen to your body. As a Native American, fasting is part of my culture, but as a diabetic I have elders pull my off fasts the second my sugar isn’t right and it gets really discouraging, but I want to respect my body and be safe. My sugar crashes and it spikes.

Thank you for all your help. I've been able to do 72hrs fast in the past. However now I'm only able to go up to 48hrs. I got all the symptoms you mentioned. With my blood sugar going below 50 and ketones above 8.0. I listened to your advice and checked with my mojo. Broke my fast with beef broth and felt so much bigger afterwards.

I'm pretty fresh keto girl cause for 2months but l've tried 72hours fasting already After 46hours l trained on a gym very intensively and had a lot of energy I was feeling very well It's amazing l'm from Poland & regret that only few people in my country are aware of benefits from IF and keto diet :( l hope it'll change soon :) Thanks 4 a useful content l wish You approach more & more people all over the world All the best 2U :)

Hi Dr Mindy. I am so grateful for your book and videos. I had been intermittent fasting for almost 5 years before finding you. In the first year I lost 78 pounds with intermittent fasting and have kept it off using the same omad cycle. I noticed this past year that I started to creep up 1-10 and sometimes 15 pounds so it wasn’t working any longer. That is when I found you. Thankfully. Did my first 72 hour fast in December and lost 7 pounds with the guidance from your book and videos. Using the keto mojo and LMNT have been so important. Today I am 60 hours in to another 72 hour fast because the weight crept back up again with my normal omad fasting. At the 60 hour point my glucose was at 56 and ketones at 4.5. The GKI index is saying highest therapeutic level of ketosis. But I was dizzy, lethargic and very fatigued. Drank decaf with mct oil and feel a bit more grounded. Will check my numbers again in a few minutes to see if I need to break the fast. I needed this video this morning. I somehow missed the fasting snacks in the first 72 hour fast. Thank u! Thank u! Considering joining the acedemy because although I am not new to fasting and have had great success with it on my own, the weight creeping up with my protocol is something I want to understand. I know you recommended shifting it up. So will try that. Anyway. I wanted to thank you for your inspired leadership here. This is my way of life and I have reversed so many health concerns. At age 61 and feel better than I did on my 40s. ❤❤❤

I've done 23 day fast on water. No issues at all. All glory to the mysterious power that the holy spirit granted me. If you need strength to go on you can. Jesus was human being like us he went without food or water for 40 days and nights. There's power in the Name of Jesus 🙏

At 62, my biggest obstacle is what I call "programmed" hunger. It's SO hard to constantly keep busy at those times (9 pm -3 am...I'm a night owl). I am constantly pushing myself past those annoying cravings to eat. It's exhausting but worth it.

Dr. Mindy I want your t-shirt!!!🖤

I have done a waterfast for a week two years ago and felt amazing. This time around I have not been feeling great. I’m on day nine now and have been feeling lightheaded for a few days now. Thank you for youre video. I’m now convinced that I need to break my fast today. Thank you so much.

Going on 37 hours and I feel great! My stomach was rumbling this morning but that’s about it, Tea and water helps but I feel better then ever, so energized and I can think so much clearer. Pushing to go to 72 hours!

So glad I found this! I am currently at 58 hours into a 72 hour fast. Glucose is 89 and ketones are 5.5! I was getting worried they were getting too high but now I know I am good. I have just never had ketones this high before lol I am feeling well, lots of energy so I will keep going! Thank you!

I am new to this Channel. I’ve been fasting a month. I have lost 20 pounds. I feel amazing. My brother in law & my sister are also doing intermittent fasting. Because of the wonderful gains we have heard about. The health benefits beyond the weight loss are just awesome. I’ve been watching your videos & learning so much. Thank you !!!

Thank you so much Dr. Mindy. TRF/IF is such a great way to loss weight and be healthy. It saves me money, time and energy too. I'm loving it! I was wearing size 12-14, now 8-10. It's so simple. I'm now thinking of doing Carnivore and TRF, which is OMAD for me. I'm 43 years old and I want this healing in my body to continue. It's my 30th day.

Thanks I'm doing 7 days fast and this helped. Today is day6!!!

Thank you Dr Mindy for the video 😉 while on a prolonged fast what helps me to extend it are the following tricks: Chaga mashrooms black coffee mix, cream of tartar, Hymalayan salt and magnesium...

Yes, thats what I did if I go 23/1 but feeling headache I eat even not yet 23hrs😊 now I stay 18/6 its more easy for me🥰

Thank you so much for posting this Dr. Mindy. I worked up to a 72 hour fast - I had been wanting to do it ever since you spoke about its miraculous healing abilities. I mostly wanted to alleviate arthritic pain in my thumb. I know I didn’t cut back on caffeine and fruit long enough and it really kicked my butt. Had a terrible caffeine withdrawal migraine the first night and threw up whatever liquid was in me. I lasted 52 hours. My blood sugar hit 49, I was dizzy, and then couldn’t breathe. It was super weird. I had done intermittent fasts longer with no issues but still having coffee, bubbly water and teas. I was so disappointed in myself however I still felt AMAZING after I had recovered. Definitely a lot more mental clarity and a lot more energy and joy. The pain in my thumb also dissipated. Next summer I will try again ♥️

So happy to found your channel randomly. Million thanks to you 👍🌹

I find Dr Mindy the most informative and appropriate with regard to fasting across the board 🙏

Thanks so much for this. I'm doing my first 3 day water fast and go a little alarmed when my blood sugar was 3.2mmol/L in the morning especially when I googled "low blood sugar during fasting" and their cut-off was 4mmol/L. I felt OK, but took some MCT oil just in case. Now I know what #'s to stay within and what symptoms to watch for! I got your book as well. I'm so excited to see how I feel and how much healthier I can get! I was told to fast by my naturopath years ago and it didn't go well, so I had avoided it. But now I know that it was because I wasn't timing it to my cycle, so I'm loving eating ketobiotic along with fasting and then switching to lots of healthy carbs and being more restful during my nurture phase.

So helpful! Thank you. I was attempting a 48 hour fast last week right before Day 19 of my cycle. I stopped 24 hours in as my BG dropped down to 66 (ketones were 3.2). I was concerned this was too low. Hence why I was looking for this video information. I am on day 21 now, so once Day 3 hits I am going to attempt a 48 hour fast again. I felt great and felt like I could have kept going, but the low BG number scared me. I am newly diagnosed with Pre-Diabetes so am still trying to navigate those waters and monitoring my BG. Again, thank you for all the great information. I am so glad I found your content and book Fasting Like a Girl.

I started intermittent fasting around 5 years ago and tried OMAD for a while but I really wanted to test myself so I'm currently finishing Day 2 of a 7 day water fast ... so far so good ... thanks for the information I feel more aware of what to look for in case my symptoms change

I take 2tbsp of apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp of lemon juice and 1/2 tsp of Himalayan salt in a small glass of water half an hour before I take 2g of lysine, 30 - 80mg of zinc and a multivitamin tablet . I’m thinking of adding magnesium as well. I don’t know if this breaks the fast, but it helps with the symptoms mentioned. The vitamin tablet replaces trace elements that are eliminated.

Came with just 5 mins to go. Got watch from the beginning. Lost a stone IF but I am not doing keto. Also only managed 48 hour fasts but struggle. Also concerned re my Vitamin D deficiency, feeling lousy so I just stop and eat. Looking forward to watching this now. Thank you

Very helpful videos thank you. I get dizzy and see "stars" after 16 hours. I know automatically it is time for fruit. The symptoms go away in minutes. So I am doing approx a 15/9 right now. And my final meal of the day has to also contain carbs like brown rice or potatoe. I have been eating EXTREMELY healthy for the past few years, but I was prediabetic and insulin resistant most of my life, so I know this fasting adventure will take some time. I am about 2 months into it. Having fun. Feeling good.

Today I had to end my first attempt at a 72 hour fast at 44 hours...I felt the warning signs and made a nice healthy meal for myself with some carbs (although I usually carb restrict) I was craving them.

Mam .......... Started Fasting Looking At Your Video........... Last Month I Did a 7 Days Water Fast..............Thanks You !!!

I needed this video. I’m on a long fast to heal my gut and Hashimotos. I’m currently 172 hours in. I only planned on 5 days, but my numbers were safe and I felt great, plus I could tell my body was purging toxins so I wanted to push further. This morning on day 7, I woke up feeling light headed and had a headache. I immediately checked my readings. BG was 51 and ketones were 5.4. I knew I was in a danger zone and was prepared to break the fast. However I decided to drink my Redmond’s Re-lyte to see if it would help. 20 minutes later I felt fine. I have had diarrhea the past 3 days and thought that was really weird considering I haven’t eaten anything. I assumed my body was purging toxic gunk, plus there’s the body’s constant production of stomach fluids and bile that must go somewhere, even if they are unused. I am tired today, but think that’s probably normal. My limbs don’t feel heavy, I’m just tired. Without a doc monitoring me, I’m wondering when to stop? Should I just keep trucking until I hit those symptoms you mentioned and don’t find relief from electrolytes?

I've not tried that hard and I have lost 2 1/2 stone since 1st Jan. 90 to 73 KG so far. But I am fatigued recently. I was more energised when I did a 36 hour fast a few weeks ago.

Hi Dr., I would love a copy of your fasting guide.

Check your blood pressure too! If you almost pass out every time you stand up too fast -- especially check your blood pressure. Mine gets low on a fast -- might get too low for some.

Some of those symptoms are normal really otherwise you will never fast. Insomnia, dizziness, tiredness

I listened to my body and just broke my spiritual 21 days water fast on day 19, it was getting difficult drinking 2L water everyday the last week and I almost through up the water today, was feeling sick and nauseous so glad I listened to my body, currently enjoying homemade blended broccoli & sweet potato soup.

I've been Omad for a few months and eating a near Keto diet. It's worked for me. I tried a 36 hour fast a few weeks ago and it was a little difficult to get through it. I find I am very comfortable at 24 hours, but I would like to do longer fasts every once in a while, Any suggestions?

I removed oxakates fairly completely a month ago, but still gaining weight.. so i started intermittent last sunday..did 17 on m and t, 24hr yesterday..back on 17 today,will break tomorrow. Ive lost 4 pounds and feel really good. Sleeping well great,poops are stellar.. next week i will do the 5 days at 15,day 6 -24,and break on day 7. It's like a whole new world! I love how this is all in conjuction with ayurveda and tcm.

Thank you for these videos. I have been to start fasting but I was nervous because I didn’t have enough knowledge on how to do it. I feel much more prepared. Thank you

You're t-shirt is beautiful. Kindness is precious ❤

Audio quality is good. learn many things...thanks from Bangladesh

How about just block fasting until you hit blood targets? I fast every weekend starting Fri AM through Sat, and maybe Sun, until my GKI

Really helpful! Wish I had this when I was doing my first couple of longer fasts. Got through it and now it's quickly become easier.

Thank you for this vlog Dr. Mindy! Because of what you’ve taught us all about listening to our bodies during a fast, I was not hard on myself to end a 90 hour fast at 60:30 when despite no hunger at all, I could barely get up to drink water. I broke out in a sweat( I never sweat) felt like I’d drop to the floor and heart rate was 101 in the middle of the night. Thank you because if I hadn’t learned all you teach us about When to break a fast, I’d have been sad that I did. I’m curious why sometimes doing longer fasts I react like this and other times I sail through a 42-92 hour fast feeling great????? Am I not preparing well enough perhaps? I’m traveling overseas so I don’t have a keto mojo or anything to measure-that would have been interesting. All day I have felt ‘off’ since

I tried toward my first 48h fast - I've done 36 two times, so I thought I can stick it out cause I really want to try it, and i was feeling so good. (I usually do between 14-24) Then I wake up this morning (after not the best night's sleep) at 5am. With prickly spinny fingertips, shaking limbs feeling very dizzy even when laying down. It felt like a survival game to walk to the kitchen and eat an avocado. I hate eating in the morning so was really hard to swallow too. Now I'm back in bed feeling a little better, but still out of sorts.

Praise The King 👑, Lord Jesus Christ! ❤❤❤ Thank you for your amazing videos 🙏❤️

"Reset academy" Thank you for all you videos ! I just found your channel and have really been enjoying your advice.

This video helped me to ease my shame. Thank you Dr. Mindy making this video! ...I just break 48 hours fasting a couple hours ago. My glucose level was 55 mg/dl and in deepest ketosis per urine strip. So I took electrolyte water and extra sea salt but my fatigue was too much; got dizzy waking up, had to sit down after 10 feet walking. I was planning to go 3 days fasting, thus not achieving my goal made me feel shame - but I think I did a right choice - I broke fast with one teaspoon of kerrygold butter then after 2 hour I ate one avocado with little nutrient yeast on top. After one hour from this, I feel sooo much better. I regain lots of energy! I can move around without a problem. I can function normally. Thank you again.

I wonder why I get into deep ketosis so soon. Thank you for the companion guide. Using Keto Mojo I can't go longer than 24 hours. I'm currently at 19 hours of fasting and my glucose is 57 and ketones are 3.2 which gave me a GKI of 0.9. Some back round information is I did do a 24 dry fast before. I broke it with a ketobiotic meal. That was 19 hours ago. I did not test my glucose or Ketones during the 24 hour dry fast because I felt great and didn't want the numbers to worry me. I feel great now. I still have some inflammation in my body (which is the reason I am fasting) but my energy and mood are great. And I'm not hungry. I kind of miss the days before keto mojo blood testing. I listened to my body and I survived just fine. I did 5 days fast and I still went to work every day. I have never been overweight. My fast are always to combat my Ankylosing spondylitis and Crohn's disease (formally diagnosed as UC). If I went 3 days on a fast I know this flare would be gone completely but instead I eat when my blood sugar or ketones numbers get to a certain point.

Broke because of this 60 hours in of seeing if i could go 72hours. Wasnt hungry, was taking my vitamins & electrolytes, bot 6 hours in woke feeling terrible & i have to move this week. Ill try again next month. I am new to prolonged, but, eat intermittent as i work shift wirk. I knew I needed to be breaking it thanks to being educated by y'all.

Thanks again Mindy for another awesome video. LOVE your education on ALL the benefits of fasting. Can you please give me/us a brief description of what your work out routine is. I KNOW the fasting is keeping you slim, but your arms and everything is so tone. What is secret with keeping your arms tone??

I went 5 days and by day 2 had nausea & heartburn every night from about 11pm until went to sleep. Apparently my BS was dropping at night & I didn’t think to check. It made for a miserable experience. Then I pushed through which I shouldn’t have. Will definitely correct next time.

Very good video this is a must to follow. Thank you for posting this.

Just finished my first 24hour fast. Had so much energy and coped very well.

Thank you for this. I’m attempting my first ever 21 day fast. I’ve done 10 day fasts in the past and never had any issues but since 21 days is significantly longer, I want to be prepared so I know if I need to stop since I am not under any medical supervision.

Thank you for letting us know that I got Addison’s disease and I started getting really weak on the third day and I was lightheaded. I had to lay down. I was really out of it all day. I should’ve broke my fast that third morning.

Thank you doc for great information I'm currently doing 20hour fast still eat 1 meal plus small salad. However yesterday I saw an article for longer water fast. This doctor said according to the proved scientific test, should you be fasting for 3 days water fast. You may have small salad or anything under 500 calories. You body will still be in the fasted stage ( meaning that wouldn't kick you out of ketosis. Please confirm, I really want need to do 3 days water fasting if that is a case.

Would you break a 3-day water fast with soaked overnight macadamia nuts or watermelon, or blueberries or raw broccoli & kale? Exactly how do you break a 72-hour water fast? Dr. Bragg advocated stewed tomatoes. But I’m wonder what is best to stay in ketosis? 😊. I’m learning about safely fasting all over again with you. My older go-to doctors of the 1970’s, Sheldon, Bragg, Ehret, didn’t know about ketosis.

I was at 64 hours into a fast when I felt heart palpitations. I decided to take a scoop of coconut oil, but, didn't really feel better. Then, I drank a glass of water followed by a glass of vegetable juice (I thought liquids might help) but started feeling REALLY nauseous...and, of course, I ended up vomiting. It was quite a strong bodily reaction. For some reason, I thought eating a banana would help get my blood sugar back to normal. Nope. Bad idea. I vomited again. So, I decided to lay down for a while before attempting to drink something again. This time, much more slowly...and we'll see how it goes.

very helpful information! I’m 67 - and I have wondered if I needed to press through. You answered!

I fast a day ever now and then, usually after I ate a very big meal the day before. I have been in ketosis for months now so it is not such a big deal. My body is adapted to burn fat anyway. I just stay hydrated and I don’t mind the feeling of being hungry cus it would pass after a little while anyway.

Im on my day 6 water fasting and i feel excellent. No symptoms at all. I didn't plan at all to fast for so long. My initial desire was 72h only, on day 4 my body didn't want any food so i kept carrying on. I plan to faat 7 days and pray my body to eat in the morning of day 8. I function perfectly. I have bipolar and it helped me with hypomanic symptoms. My legs don't get numb when stay crossed, i go to work, i drive, i want to malls close to food, and still don't want to ea. I carry some food with me always just in care my body will ask for food. Amazing experience. I definitely want to repeat it.❤

Last time I had to break my fast just before 60 hours because I had trouble sleeping and my heart rate had gone faster than my rate normally(by about 10 both during workout and resting). I haven’t seen a lot of information regarding the relationship between fasting and heart rates. Curious if anyone has similar experience?

Dr Mindy I just completed a 48hr fast today,thanks for your wonderful advise

Why when I fast I don't feel that Burst if energy? I don't even feel tired I just feel nothing

I'm new to your channel. I listened to a podcast cast you were on. Found it very interesting. You brought up cancer. There have been more than I had noticed before. I WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I IMMEDIATELY REFERRED THEM TO ANYTHING OF YOURS. OBVIOUSLY GEARED TOWARDS HEALING THE BODY. ❤

Your energy's amazing.

For me, I try to make sure during longer fasts to get 2 to 3 teaspoons of salt and increase my magnesium a bit. If I feel bad for any reason, I try a little salt or a bulletproof DECAF coffee with coconut oil and butter. If I don't feel better in about 30 minutes, it's time to eat something.

Well it's too late for me to get a meter because I'm on day two, evening, heading to day three. I planned to see how it went and stop at 3, but if it's this easy, why not go for 5 since hubby is away and no pressure to cook. I was on keto higher fat and intermittent fasting before I found your wonderful channel, so I think that makes its easier. I did two 24 hour fasts first to see how I did then this one. I know my body so I don't have any worries so far and I'm not a glutton for punishment. It's far easier than I thought it would be. Yes, I have been a little hungry at lunch and dinner times but I drank a glass of water with salt and liquid minerals and it passed. Tonight I had to have a cup of black coffee as I really was craving a butter coffee. Do I really need to get a meter? I really don't think I can prick my finger every day and more than once! I do have strips but I know they are not really the best. I am doing this to see if I can correct chronic lower back pain, so longer would be better. I am so excited to have decided to try this since I was always against it for me. I don't like being hungry, lol :o)

Thank you so much. It was exactly what I need to hear. I love your smile and see you are full of energy

I’ve been doing IF for a few years. Love it. However, I have all these symptoms you mentioned in this video around 36~40 hours in so I’d break the fast. I’d really like to do a 3day fast but have hard time making progress. Fat does not help much for me. Any tips?

Started Thursday, now Sunday on a sardine/salmon fast, using MCT/olive oil/mustard as a condiment.---- blood sugar is in th 70's, ketones. point 8, then point 9, then 2.8, this morning Sunday 9/16/23 ketones are 3.7. Lost 7 pounds, need another 8 pounds. As long as these numbers are good and steady I'll end at goal weight. If I can go to a 3 day water fast I'll start tomorrow. Note, I supplement minerals, get outside and move around in the sun. When I break the water part of the fast, I'll do some cod with olive mayo/ACV/relish tarter sauce, using low cal pickle relish. Love to see if I can maintain ketones above 2.0 and blood sugar around 70......Disclosure: KETO five years.

Hi doc! I so deeply appreciate everything you're doing to help everyone live healthier lives! that said, I've consistently noticed your audio clipping in the videos you produce creating quite a bit of distortion. Maybe have your audio guy reduce the gain on the microphone you are using when you record these helpful videos?

Question. I’m 86 hours in and feel great. The only issue (kind of) was some fatigue but only after spending 20 minutes in 45 degree F water. A group of us are cold water acclimatizing for open water water season. I have a fair amount of weight to lose but am in decent shape. Should I wait until I’m done with the fast (in the next day or two) to get back in? And what does the cold water do on an extended fast. I’m a 63 year old female and have been open water swimming for years.😎

Dr. Mindy, I love your videos, so inspiring and energizing! I’m new to fasting and am intending to gradually move into autophagy fasting. If I can do 15, I can do 17. Is this type of fasting recommended as a daily routine or can you 1 day on, one day off and still be effective? By the way, I love your necklace!

Keto Mojo link please im in Ireland the Republic. Great info Have been fasting since July 2020. HVe worked my way up to a 60 hr fast monthly. Am ready to do longer and think having the keto moo is a great idea for. Thi No for all your help . For the first time in a long time I feel I can succeed. Am post menopausal woman

Which type and how much of Andrea's seed oil is recommended when breaking a fast?

Have been doing 18/6 for a couple months and lost 21 lbs and decided to do a 36 hr fast and was so much easier than I expected.. mostly drank green tea and water and lost 2 lbs .. and was feeling energetic actually and in a good mood.. will definitely try to add 36 hr fast at least once a week.

I did the 3 days and felt great! I actually could’ve gone for 4 or 5 days but I didn’t the only thing was that I didn’t get into ketosis accordingly to Dr. fund it could’ve been because of my insulin resistance/ pre diabetes 🙃 but I still lost five pounds!

Awesome video! Straight to the point. Thank you so much for all the great info!

What causes these symptoms

Doing your autofagy fasting for 5 days . Keeping protein under 20g. Feeling Great, until a lower back pain strikes. Really strong. Should I break fast? What am I missing? I do water with salt, ACV, water with lemon...

I love your videos and am almost at the 48 hour mark. It’s the headaches that make me feel like stopping. I drink lots of water and take electrolytes. Is this normal?

I'm on day 25 and only lost 17.6lbs 😶 im diabetic and anemic. My glucose from 3.6, went to 2.8, then 2.7, than 2.7, then back upto 3.9. I didn't break my fast.

A few years ago, I tried a longer term fast, and while I felt great overall (energy, mental focus, etc.) and was losing weight wonderfully rapidly, at about the two week point I started getting really bad heartburn in the afternoons. Taking some Apple Cider Vinegar in the mornings didn't seem to help, and even researching afterwards, I'm still not sure what it could have been. How do you have stomach acid problems when you're not eating anything, and drinking only water? I'm guessing an electrolyte imbalance, maybe? It hasn't happened since, but I've only done 2-4 day fasts since then.

This information is just Gold Thank you Dr.

Dr. Give some strict rules for wieght plateau that can be followed easily🥀

Great information. I can't sleep on extended fasts and I'm buying a ketone/glucose meter this week.

Is this true ? Above 70 is not recommended to go on IF or on OMAD ?

Great video!! Awesome information & tips!! I believe & have been practicing intermediate fasting for 3 years. I usually eat between 1800-2100 daily. I was set on a 72 hour water fast (distilled water with Himalayan salt & baking soda) & I feel fine. I decided to go another 24 hours. I’m good after that. I never knew about the blood sugar & ketones meter. I’ll get that too. I plan on a 72 hour fast at the beginning of every month. I’ll continue intermediate fasting & throw in some 24/48 hour fast too. 72 hour fast was pretty easy for me.

In sugar you are saying 50 mmoles . I think you want to say 50 mg/dL for blood sugar.

Thank you so much for addressing this. So important!

I am an experienced faster ( IMF, water and dry fast). I was on keto for almost two years and started carnivore to help reduce my inflammation. Since starting carnivore, my inflammation is completely gone. However, I noticed a 2-3kg weight gain during the one month on Carnivore. I started a 7day fast on Sunday and today (Tuesday) I had horrible stomach cramps, followed by diarrhea and slight nausea. I struggled to push on and let the pain pass away but after one hour, it was getting worse. I broke the fast immediately. This is very strange to me. Can anyone tell me what might be cause? I am really scared😩

I am doing or trying to do my second 72 hours fast. Because I have excruciating pain in my shoulders (frozen shoulder?!), I took at around 24hours fast, 1700 mg of tumeric combined with 225 mg of cayenne! I ended up throwing up, and my head wanted to explode. I was feeling better today, but kept being hungry. I figure with the fasting + throwing up, that I needed to take minerals. Which I did (concentrace minerals, a ver small amount)... Then, sudden urge in my head again.. I've never had that much pain in my life, (except maybe when I gave birth to my kids 😅, but pain then, wasn't in my head)... Anyhow, felt nauseous again, huge migraine. Blood sugar is between 5.4 up to 6.5 mmol. Ketones thru keto pee strips is about 1.5 mmol. I have to admit that I also ate 3 raspberries for the electrolytes, since the home made recipe for gastro is made out of orange juice + st + water. So, I wonder, should I stick to this 72 hours fast goal, or should I break it?

Your skin looks much healthier. Fasting is the fountain of youth.
