I did a 7 day water fast and lost 10lbs, but I noticed an overall flush and reboot of my whole system. I felt a great increase of energy. Way more focus and felt very alert. I even slept better.
Overcoming the mental challenges of fasting is extremely difficult, what mindset tricks can be used to make approaching those challenges more manageable?
@@Psych369 I completed 28 days and really didn’t have any problems. I broke my fast with watermelon on the first day. The second day I ate watermelon and salad. This continued for about a week and a half.
@@Psych369 mostly plain water. I also drank the occasional coffee (I work the night shift). If I felt the need for it, I would drink one of those vitamin waters with the added vitamins and minerals. That was it.
I’ve fasted for 3 months and it’s incredible how light you feel, no longer this heaviness that weighs you down. Now I’m full of energy! Looking back at the amount of food I ate was astounding compared to now. My parents dislike it but I’m doing this for me, don’t let anyone discourage you along the way!!!
Latino guy currently staying with my grandmother and you can't even begin to imagine how much complaining I have to put up with when I'm fasting. So I completely understand when you say that you're doing it for you, no matter what others say.
I'm 4'10 weighed 160 I been fasting for 4days now..I already drop 10 pounds..everytime I get hungry I watch mukbang video of people eating alot of greasy foods I immediately my hunger goes away..and I drink alot of water..this method has help me alot..
I am skeptical of every health video on RU-vid. But I can say with certainty and from experience: fasting is the best way to lose weight for me…. And it’s crazy how calm and clear my mind becomes when fasting

I eat once every 24 hours. So I fast every single day. I eat my daily calories in one meal usually between 4-5pm when I get home from work. Before I started this, I was 300 pounds, pre diabetic, diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, and anemic. After 20 days getting my physical and blood work done, my anemia was gone. My pre diabetes was gone. No longer suffering the pain of PCOS. My life was forever changed❤
At 56 - I just did a 72 hour fast and it was great! 🎊🎊🎊 Ready to go again. So very liberating, mentally, emotionally and physically! Every Heath care provider (mine) said eat more, eat more, eat more! But that was stressful, because I was not hungry. And advised a lot of carbs when I’m already overweight. I went back to intermittent fasting 18/6 and then at the beginning of the year I just did a reset of 72 hours. I felt so good. (Loss 9lbs) but more than that I felt good! Now I’m doing OMAD 5 days - 48hr water fast weekly lifestyle. I want to lose some unwanted weight bring my cholesterol down (sugars down). Not on any meds, eat healthy so Checking to see if I have any food allergies when re-feeding. Excited about the new journey renewing my body and mine! Health is wealth! Have an amazing day every one!
i tried intermittent fasting because i want to lose weight, i just want o share my experience with it, its really actually hard to sustain plus i do experience very excruciating headache thats why i stopped it and started agoge diet. i did lose weight without all those bad things and i have never been happier
At 18 i was a chubby teen. Then suddenly one day i stopped having breakfast and lunch. Never went back. Im 24 now at my fittest, flat tummy, no sagging skin, im more energetic too.
*You have a dream.* *You chase it.* *You fall.* *You learn.* *You get better.* *You keep marching on.* *And so it goes.* If you saw this comment, I believe in you. I wish you the best. 🖤
I'm 6'4 and weighed 282 lbs. In October of 2019 I started fasting, but I ended up unknowingly doing the OMAD diet. I lost 60 lbs in 3 months without working out. I ate once a day and it was a very small meal. After about 2 weeks it was super easy to maintain it and I honestly felt pretty good doing it. There were days where I had to eat a "lunch" but that didn't happen often. No stretch marks and no extra skin.
@@ptej348 Thank you!! My diet wasn't really a "diet" per-se. I just made sure I got my daily intake of fruits, vegetables, and either chicken or salmon. A meal for me would look like Chicken, asparagus, rice, and an assortment of fruits. I'd eat as much as I could because they're not super calorie-dense.
@Fox 5 Man, I know! If your body is like mine or probably everyone else's, it has a comfort zone. Sounds like yours is 235. Mine is 225 or so. But man I'm back up to 238 and it's SO hard to get down. I just wanna be around 200 - 210. So now I'm back at the OMAD diet to lose the last 28-38 lbs. Sometimes it takes some switching up of diets and exercise, but it's totally doable. KEEP GOING!
If you do fasting, how can you only eat one meal? I tend to be a snack-er and get late night cravings and end up eating at night… I want to eat one meal a day, how do I do it without being hungry??
Mike is an interesting guy, I’ve seen him do some deep dives on research studies and the way he shares info can be very educational. He may ultimately practice a different approach than myself but I appreciate that he has shared his reasons for why he and his family decided to do it!
I'm down 90 pounds in a year! 6-8 hour somewhat inconsistent eating window. Mostly fats and proteins... It never felt difficult and I never took it too seriously. I was not that strict and hardly worked out for the first 60 pounds. Fasting has helped me evolve!
Thanks for the information, very helpful and insightful. Fasting is a science that brings experiences with risks & benefits. Overall, Fasting is great for healing & divine power. Fasting for me is now a lifestyle. I fast every month for 7days. On Liquid for 4days and the remaining 3 days no food or water. This gives me spiritual guidance and mental strength. I recommend fasting to anyone who will like to consider it, but do the proper research for an effective time because the outcome is truly rewarding. 💪🏾🤓🥰💐
Love this - such a great compilation of experts! Fasting is so insanely powerful for you health (for all the reasons they share here!) and for those in the comments who are struggling/just starting, I promise: IT GETS EASIER! So much easier with practice. Don't give up! You and your health are worth it! 🙂
I did keto and once I started eating carbs “slowly introducing them” I gained weight. I feel fasting allows you to still enjoy those carbs and lose weight.
Hi Tom , thank you for being your awesome self and your ability to get the insights out of your guest . Your channel and the topics you speak on have really changed my life for good. I first came across intermittent fasting on your channel and I have been on a 16/18 fast for a year now. Physical , emotional, mental, and spiritual I’m in a better state. I have also introduced my friends and family members and we have not just change when we eat but also what we eat.
Fasting is a super power that almost everyone has inside of them. Thank you for making this new video.🤠There are a few exceptions that should be very careful with the fasting, but they are the exception not the rule.
Fasting is great but still you need to give some break from fasting for your body otherwise our body become more efficient and we may not yield the benefits .
Fasting changed my life! I read about it like 3 years ago and ever since then I have been burning fat in a very efficient way What I LOVE about it is that it's very simple and it improves my life so much by keeping me with a lean body , a sharp mind and a clean soul. I would encourage everyone to try fasting because it's totally worth it! It's a bit hard in the begging but as you practice fasting more it easily becomes a lifestyle as soon as you see and feel the first results. GIVE IT A TRY! STUDY AND APPLY IT! IT WILL ABSOLUTELY CHANGE YOUR LIFE! God bless you all and greetings from Romania! P.S: When fasting try to go on a hike in nature it will help your experience fasting at a deeper level.
Salut! Ma bucur ca te a ajutat f mult postul. M ar interesa și pe mine protocolul pe care l ai aplicat.. Pe mine m ar interesa sa slăbesc, dar în același timp sa nu pierd masa musculara în condițiile în care o sa încep și sa fac exerciții cu greutăți! Mulțumesc anticipat
I love all this information and I rewatch all these on fasting because I've always found fasting to be really beneficial for health and longevity...however, there really isn't any food that is organic anymore and it's disappointing the North Star expert still thinks veggies are ok at Costco and Walmart of all places. You've gotta be kidding... I tried an 8 day water fast once as I had a cancer scare, and it was miraculous...best thing I ever did for my health. It was difficult, but 8 days was enough for my body to reset itself. Cancer free.
Noone lives forever and I'm not interested in that. I want to feel good and enjoy my life as long as I live whether it until I'm 70, or 80 or 100 whatever I not sweat the small stuff or be obsessive about it at all.
Thank you for this great episode, Tom! So I rarely see fasting experts who are women. Why do you think that is? Are there any key differences in fasting for women vs men? I've heard yes and no. Would love to see an episode on this if you think it could help others too :)
Yes! Would love to see more fasting experts who are women and to know what the differences. I know every body is different, but I’ve found it far harder to lose weight fasting than male counterparts. It take far more fasting for much longer to get the same amount of weight loss. It also doesn’t get easier after the 1st day for me. I was doing rolling 48s, hiking for work 8+ hrs a day, felt almost like passing out, and that was the only time I lost some weight fasting. Otherwise, was omad and doing the same physical activity, and would only maintain for the most part. It took months and months to lose maybe even 10#s!
Asks expert a question, interrupts repeatedly with another question. Asks other expert a question *f-bomb* and interrupts with another question. *f-bomb* Asks another question, interrupts with personal opinion. 🤪
This is what I do.. I fast 3 days and I eat something small and then I go back to fasting. I'm going to make it 5 days.. And keep going up and I'm new to fasting and I I have a question is fasting really going to help me lost weight?.. Thanks
I figured out how to eat and what to avoid or minimize 20 years and avoid all the new specialty drugs and fasting and vegan and keto as I weigh the same now as when I was 19 years old. I use my brain to eat in a way that I have and maintain a body and health that I respect myself and how I physically look and mentally feel in my emotions. The rest of the specially routines etc I leave to others who don't respect their body and don't eat that way the majority of the time. Specially drugs are for others to experiment with like Mad Scientists and Frankenstein.
Since I was 19 years old I eat relatively healthy and slighty refined that the rest of my life and eat real food and high quality supplements and organic superfoods, juices and teas and a lot of water. I don't fast ever. I also get high quality sleep and meditate and stay positive and feeling good. That was I don't have to eat like a saint I can sometimes eat whatever I want as much as I like including junk food and otherwise eat natural and mostly organic.
I love that part too. --- Why not biting an ice cream once in a while , or having a beer when you feel like to as a way of engaging in social connections. After all, this is life! 😄
Wow, wish I knew this years ago. At 345 drop down to 308 it a life choice. My metor said he got to 200 and didn't like it. Now he's 165. The key is don't tell no one your doing it. Not even the doctor. Had a female friend do it she said the doctors were like I hope your not starving yourself, she was like no, what? 300lbs down to 180. The health benefits, plus financial are tremendous. Blood pressure goes down chance of diabetes down. I am going for 200lbs, or even less. I was spending so much on food. As I was budgeting. I would write everytime I spend money it was food. My metor said you know why people eat so much during the holidays. I was like why? They fast before than eat as much as they want. Than go back to fasting. Its in the Bible gluttony. 200 thousand years ago if man hunted and didn't catch anything he didn't eat. So why now are we eating like no tomorrow. THINK OF WATER AS YOUR CLEANER.
Thank you. So many different messages out there but I’ve got to know who I am and my bodies gains weight with carbs. Simple. I’ve lost weight with keto but I allowed carbs back in my diet and I gain some back. I was already going to reduce the carbs and this dialogue helped seal the commitment.
The live forever thing seems kind of an unhealthy attitude. Nobody's living past maybe 110. Right? Thinking about that for your whole life seems unhealthy, mentally.
The comment at 15:53 hope a lot of people really hear that. Just because something is plant based doesn't mean it won't shoot your blood glucose and insulin levels like a snicker bar. It's about keeping your blood glucose and insulin low and level. I think the blood glucose monitor would be great for everyone and really help people see how their bodies are reacting. I've done 74 hours and had no issues. Starting fasting again and am gonna try a long term one. One thing I really recommend is doing fasting like fight club. Don't talk to other people about your fasting until you're done with it, most people do not understand anything about fasting and fear monger about it.
I wish you would stop interrupting the people you interview… *update* after watching a lot more of your videos, it seems to be limited to this one only and you are actually a great listener. Maybe just getting really excited by the guest and topic
@@shreyahundekar3436 the 29-30 days fasting is spiritual activity calles Ramadan, every muslim is expected to do, except for some reasons like illness and more, during this holy month, we stop eating at the dawn and break the fast at dusk. You can learn More on that by searching "Ramadan".
@25:00 I am a recovering addict. Been sober for 6 years. Food has become my relapse now. What a relapse looks like for me isn't 15 beers and a bottle of vodka anymore, (thank god) but eating burger king alone in a parking ot at 2am. I am finally gaining control over my last addiction. The hardest one of them all and I've had them all, food.
A friend eat a low calorie diet, mainly white bread, croissants, chicken, sweets and processed foods, little meat and fat. He looks pale, with belly, no muscle. He suffers from stomach problems all the time and from a heart attack last years. All his family have health problems, despite eating a low calorie high carb diet.
Let us also remember the risks of taking metformin : lactic acidosis . But it is quite interesting to see how to balance the risk/benefits of this drug . As a nephrologist, I have seen many cases of lactic acidosis in diabetics (usually in acute settings) and I am afraid this complication could rise with the new possible indication of this treatment.
This is an old video, but as a post menopausal woman, I’m finally losing weight again. It took going carnivore along with fasting. My BP is 111/68 and my inflammation is gone. I’m 60 in two weeks, and I’m finally below 200. Thank you carnivore!
Eating one meal a day I can feel the different in waking up in the morning. My arthritis is getting better over time. This maybe the answer to my trigger fingers and dupytren's contracture besides my arthritis. And in this economy very helpful. Food is so expensive
somehow it was easier for me to fast at start now i get 36hr here and there and usually 12 to 16, i think no matter how bad my diet gets i don't totally lose progress, it's more about adaptation
I fasted for 33 days and the first 10 days were tough. But after that I felt clear in my head, I did have energy, focus, my seasonal allergies were gone and my gut issues were resolved. Trying to mentally prepare myself for another fast (years later). I wonder if Tom is being too restrictive with his diet. He doesn't look as healthy as his guests. His eyes look tired and his skin is a bit flat and gray instead of bright and glowing. Just concerned, we as humans can go too far with anything, hoping he's healthy inside and out.
I am trying to lose weight a couple of decades I am always ten to fifteen lbs of overweight finally with the help of IF and low carb diet in two years I lost twenty lbs I am 5"4 and 142 . If I am able to loose weight I think anybody can do it if you do it in a right way.
Tom you should stop saying "I'm dying". I understand that you're joking and being sarcastic, but the mind is super powerful. Eventually if you joke long enough your subconscious begins to believe the words you say. I know you are a healthy person, always looking for ways to optimize longevity. Just be careful with the words you use for yourself. Love this video 🙏
I hear Mike Mutzel advise us to eat in the SAME time window every day, to be consistent. Others say vary your feeding window to “keep your body guessing,” and “shake things up.” Now I don’t know which is better! 🧐🙄BTW, Tom, you are HANDS DOWN the best interviewer!
I just started ketogenic diet, true keto (no carbs at all!). This triggers autophagy in the same way fasting does because it forces your body to burn fat for fuel and detox, just like prolonged, multiple day fasting. Only that with keto you make this a lifestyle. Adding coffee enemas and near infrared sauna help the body get rid of toxins easier. I tried this diet for 4 months some years ago and recall having lots of energy and mental clarity. Didn’t need coffee to help me focus or wake up in the morning.
I did keto for two months check my keto generic state and I was all the way there. I just wasn't happy with the lifestyle . I actually found myself fasting alot the high fats make you feel full and not hungry. I had results gained it all back and then some. I honestly think fasting and home cooked meals are the way to go . Keto is just too tough . The no carbs just too tough
I did a 4 day water fast 2 weeks ago! I would have made it 7 days but my body said no this time. My plan is to do water fasting for 24 hours twice a month...and also go for 7 days another time.
It's so interesting to see how there's only men promoting fasting and it is fascinating to watch how they always forget to differentiate fasting between men and women. It's vastly different, we can go anemic or have issues with conceiving and should not.fast every day of a week or with as much frequency as men.
Yes there is definitely a lot of information missing and being dismissed. I became very ill From fasting. Lost my menstrual cycle, cholesterol went through the roof developed intense anxiety and insomnia and night sweats. Since trying to recover my period and balance my hormones I have to practice the exact opposite of fasting to get my body out of fight/ flight state and restore my mind and body. My body shut down a whole system because of stress. I know many women now who are experiencing the same and now trying to reverse damage. I’m taking so much of this bro science with a pinch of salt and following what works for me intuitively.
You see it like that because you are only looking at this channel. A Healthy Alternative youtube channel has young, old, male, female, and all races/ethnicities fasting.
Protein is extremely important for everyone. My guess is that it is not the fasting, but the feeding part of your life. If you feel bad during a fast you stop.🤠
so which one should I think better? clean diet like food that contains little amount of sodium and eat 3 times a day vs regardless of amount of sodium and eat one meal a day
I got my diet plan from Agoge Diet and lost 2kg in just 10 days. So far, so good. Can't wait to see numbers on scale after 20 more days. I am so excited about this.
I've started trying to work intermittent fasting into my daily schedule. There's a lot more I can work on for my diet though. Thanks Tom! Great episode!
I'm confused fe fasting & exercise. Is the only exception to NOT resting while fasting during aging fast, i.e 24 hours or more. OR while doing IF fasting daily, during the fast (say early a.m. and we aren't breaking our overnight fast until say noon or later. Are we STILL supposed to observe 'rest while fasting'... during our IF a.m. fasting window? S9 many of these doctors, clinicians & fitness guru's advise is to exercise in a fasted state. Now...I'm wondering about this basically bc of what I'm hearing on this podcast.
If you are doing IF daily there is no need to restrict your your exercise. But If you are doing extended fasting, you will start to burn muscle for gluconeogenesis if you exercise. That's how I understood it.
@@rvi3956 thanks for answering, Rose. That was my takeaway also, but was unsure bc what if I got it wrong!? It's so hard to know what to do anymore. I'll watch a podcast or read a book and think, 'OK. I'm all set now...know exactly what to do' - THEN I come across something by another 'expert'', touting a completely different set of data as radical as...'No! you should be doing exactly the opposite from what you've been doing.' (that you previously THOUGHT was optimal), Oh but now it's detrimental! WHAT??! ARGH!🤯
@@barbarafairbanks4578 I feel your pain. When it comes to diet/exercise/health there are so many conflicting voices you hear on these podcasts. Every time I want to start a diet or a fasting protocol or plan to work out at a certain time or under certain conditions I'll here a constructing opinion from another expert and it will throw me for a loop.
*Most great accomplishments were achieved by the people, who at first had no idea what they were doing.* Keep going my friend. I am cheering for you. 🙂🖤
