I didn't eat anything for 16 days... This is what happened 

I went 13 days without food once. It was an incredible experience. I have never felt more spiritually connected.

Well, today is Day 35 of my extended fast, everything is possible people. Blessings. P.S. Finished with total of 63 Days. Also did another 40 Day, just finished. No Doctor supervision. Just a little motivation for you'll. Like I said, Everything is possible. 😉

I went on a month water only fast for weight loss. Lost a lot of weight with no loose skin. Health completely did a 180. Had high blood pressure and was pre diabetic. Normalized everything and I'm good

Everyone should do an extended fast at least 3 days at least once. The health benefits are beyond crazy, and way more than just weight loss. I’m 43 and for years I felt tired, sluggish, no motivation and constant migraines. I had gastrointestinal issues that caused nausea every meal I ate, or I’d have colon spams, ouch! I also couldn’t lose weight and I didn’t eat enough to gain, but gain I did. I just jumped in not knowing anything and did a 7 day water fast. I felt like I was 20 again, the energy was crazy! Plus, my mental clarity was so clear and focused. I was super super happy, my emotional health was awesome. The best part, I lost 15lbs!

Decades ago did a fast for 16 days… started out feeling like ending my life but after a week felt really great !! The fast actually saved my life !

I'm happy that your video was recommended. I'm doing a 40 Spiritual fast. I'm on day 18. I did 10 days juicing and then im doing 30 days of water. I quit smoking in February and wanted to get rid of all the toxins in my body. This is a time for my body to heal itself. ❤ Thank you, im going to do your soup suggestion when i break my fast.

I began alternate day fasting two weeks ago; am already down 16lbs. As an overweight 51yo woman it's been eye opening how little food I really need!! Going to attempt a 7-day water fast next week and excited to push myself. I have multiple sclerosis and am wheelchair shopping if I don't lose the weight so I literally have nothing to lose. THANKS FOR THIS INSPIRATION!

I usually don’t have the patience for weight loss videos… but you are a fantastic storyteller!

During lockdown I fasted but kept hydrated for 20 days, just for the challenge. I had no aim but to my surprise, I went from size 16 to size 12. That was 3 years ago. I'm back up to 14, but I'm happy with who I am. And knowing extended fasting is no big deal. From Ireland

I am on Day 3! I started searching for fasting videos to keep me motivated and focused on the goal! My total weight loss goal is 95 lbs. I've lost 10 pounds just by reducing stress. Now I am really jumping in! Excited to see what happens!

23 days of eating once a day veggies and meat only. Have lost 13.5lbs. I drink lemon water, coffee and instant coffee. So easy. So glad to hear how to keep weight off. Thank you.

From 2019 I did a combo of KETO, Fasting, Omad and Carnivore diet. It never been so easy to loose weight like today because of the knowledge I gained through trial and error . I am in the same weight I was in my twenties. I admit it takes hard work and discipline but it is worth it.

I am so glad I found your page I canceled my surgery last minute because I was too scared and wanted to try to lose weight I’m deff going to follow what you did!!! You are amazing!!!!

I did my 1st 30 day water fast as a teenager for religious purposes. Dropped about 35lbs & gained it back the following month. U really do have to change ur lifestyle & eating habits to maintain loss.

You are such an encouragement to me, girl! Thank you.

This is by far one of the best videos on fasting I’ve seen. Thank you

This was GREAT Amanda! In 2017 I began Paleo, dropped all processed foods and alcohol, and began losing a little fat. Next came keto, IF, carnivore,OMAD, and a little extended (3-5 day) fasting. So much improvement in health I could write a book on it! I can't see ever going back to the SAD way of eating.

Congratulations Amanda!!! What an awesome video!!! Great job!!! You're such an inspiration!!! Thanks sooo much for sharing your journey!!! Love it!!! 🥳🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏👏

I could listen to her talk for hours! She really pulls you in when she speaks about a topic wow. ❤

Love the setting where you filmed this! I agree, we do a long fast and gain it back SO FAST. What you are saying about a strategy post fast is sooooo important. I’m going to follow you for tips to do weight loss correctly. Thank you!!!💓

The mental aspect of fasting is REAL! I like your breakdown of your process post fasting. Great video. 16:00

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed to hear and learn today. You are the best.

All or nothing.....you speak my language! Loved this video. A clean break from the past.....definitely a goal for me.

I’m actually on day 3 of a planned 10 day fast right now. I’m glad this popped up because I hadn’t really considered planning what I was going to eat to break my fast. I need to do that to avoid eating something not great or even too heavy coming out of it. Thanks for this on time video. 👏🏽

Thank you for your realism! I'm currently on Day 10 of 30/40 day water fast. I'm not craving anything yet, except maybe wanting what I am serving my family. LOL. Thanks for the meal plan idea. I had already thought to break my fast with bone broth and slowly, slowly move up to eating keto. Plenty of veggies and salads. Without the alcohol, I'm sure to stay in Ketosis a little bit better. LOL. If I get past Day 26, it will be my longest fast. 😊😊 Thanks for the video. And I'm am so glad you didn't have to have surgery! Update: Well, It's Aug and I'm now 7 months from my 28-day water fast. I did well. Didn't crave food. My body did tell me time was up when I started tasting sweet water. Ended the fast with broth and then took 8 days to refeed. I had done a ton of research and the only consequence I didn't really think about was hair loss. The stress of the low calories had me dropping hair 2 months after I started eating again. Now my hair is thickening back up. For me, fasting is a great tool. I still love it. But I think in the future, I'm done with long fast (more than 10 days) unless God really calls me to it. I did this one for personal reasons. Thanks again for your informative video! I learned a lot and was able to incorporate it into my fast! God bless!

Im tryna save money, lol. Im on day 3 of my fast 🙂

Thank you for making this video. Even though I’ve lost a little over 100 lbs, I have more that I want to lose. I have been in a stall and can’t seem to get out of it. This has helped me realize that maybe an extended fast would help, and then using soups for several days to get back into the OMAD. It really is a “mental exercise“ - thank you for this . 🥰

I fast for 3 days and then eat, repeat….it keeps the urges down, don’t give up my coffee w/heavy cream and I have sugar free jello as a dessert w/homemade whipped cream. Gave up the sugar! Gave up the carbs! I do eat fish, chicken & meat. I can pretty much tell the size of meat (4oz.) per serving w/fresh veggies and stir fried cauliflower w/spices. I love food….down from 185 to 130 in 4 months. I am still on a 800+ calorie diet and do not exceed 1000. My doctor, dentist and psychiatrist are all happy with my results 😊 NO going back. I’m a 66yo woman and 5’2, my cholesterol is down, no more pre-diabetes or taking anything but my B complex vitamins and C. I haven’t felt this good in sooooo many years! CHEERS 🎉 to everyone who is on the path to well living.

I have been doing various types of fasting investigating other options .. and I happened upon your video... ureka the next step for me. Thank you for all your personal helpful experiences! ❤❤❤

So entertaining you are. Very animated! Thanks for your videos! You’re an inspiration!!!

I’m on an extended fast right now and you’re on point with this, I think I’ll do just one meal a day post my extended fast

I just finished a 14 day water fast ending on August 28th. I had the same psychological motivation. I’m thrilled with the result. My compulsive eating has been very reduced. My coffee habit gone (And I found out I was really addicted to the sugar and the cream, not so much the coffee itself). My mood is very improved. Now I’m trying to keep my insulin levels low and eating a keto diet-2 meals a day. Not quite intermittent fasting but I might go to one meal a day. Thanks for sharing your experience. I don’t know anyone personally who would do the same thing:) I’ve been very encouraged by RU-vid testimonials.

You have such an entertaining way to talk, and it's full of good information and encouragement. Thanks for this wonderful video! 💜

I fasted once for 3 days. Had to be very inactive for the duration to persist at it. Also, had to avoid watching or reading anything that triggered strong emotion. Had breathtakingly clear and colorful mental images and dreams on the fast.. But - as i say - inactivity was essential for it to work. But 3 days only was what I could manage. I started to feel sad and deprived - like a little kid, really. So I started eating again. What I can manage on an ongoing basis is daily 17 hour fasting. That is watching that I am not over consuming and eating what I eat within a 7 hour timeframe. It is not difficult (for me) and a good chunk of the fasting time - i am asleep. Thank you so much for your inspiring and info packed videos, Amanda Rose!

Wow., great job on the weight loss, maintenance, and a thousand thanks for sharing how you did it - so honestly, and so refreshingly real. Blessings to you for a bright and healthy future!!

So appreciate the "real" experience, and details. We're human, and everyone's different! Lots of good information, thank you!

This is such an amazing video! You are so awesome and I appreciate how honest, candid and real you are! Truly a path blazer!

Thank you for this info and sharing your experiences!

I’m glad you mentioned the “breaking the fast” so people can hear how to do it ! Thanks 😊

Your videos are always interesting and inspiring. Thank you for all you do.

Very inspiring. I love that you had so much support. I love fasting, but most people think you're crazy if you don't eat.

Amanda, this was a very interesting video. You are such an inspiration and your weight loss story is amazing! Thank you for sharing. Also, you look very good. 😊

Congratulations!! Thank you very much!!! I needed to here this this morning. I am inspired!!

Incredibly aspirational content! Thank you for sharing! ❤

Love your new hair!! Thanks for the video!

Thank you for this, very encouraging!!! 🎉🎉🎉

So good!!! You're such a great story teller too! Thanks for the video 💕

You are a great storyteller. I can listen to you all day. Thanks for posting. ❤

You are amazing, thank you for helping people like me who been struggling with my weight. Thanks for all the details how to end the fast and that's the most important thing about fasting. I really appreciate you and happy New year to you and your family, I pray that God continue to bless us and give us good health and long life. from Liberia.

Congratulations. So happy for you. I am doing intermittent fasting and KETO. Starting with a colon cleanse helped me reduce cravings. I’ve learned is to avoid foods that spike insulin since that leads to cravings.

I've found four weeks of healthy keto followed by four days fasting fixes the weight loss. I then add healthy carbs for four weeks and then start the cycle again... four weeks healthy keto, four days fasting, four weeks eating with healthy carbs... It works for me.

This might be your best video yet! Thank you so much Amanda Rose ♥️♥️

Thank you for this video! I am freaking out because I just completed a 3 day juice fast juicing only green vegetables and a granny smith apple. It was great. I had no cravings and I wasn't hungry at all but I what Im freaking out about is that I also said what am I eating when I get off this and made a edamame, green pea and Kale soup that I said that Im eating for 3days. Im on day two of that and now I run across your video. This exactly what I needed to keep me motivated. This was such an encouragement for me. Thanks again and congratulations on maintaining. I have lost 50lbs and I want to loose another 50 lbs. Taking this step by step is definitely the way to go!!! Thanks!!!

I’m on day 11 of a 21 day water fast. I did it with no prior planning. I don’t feel excellent honestly and I’m terrified to eat again! 😬 I found your channel while searching fasting. I feel like this video helped me a bit. Thanks.

Thanks for the video. Inspiring, encouraging. Your hair looks great!

Thank you for telling your story, very interesting. I know we can't all do things the same way but you inspired me to take care of myself, thank you.

Great information and very inspiring! Right now I am working on a 14 day fast and going to try your meal plan example afterwards. Thanks so much for making this video

Thank you, Amanda! This group is so successful because you are a REAL person eating every day average food! Did you do any more EFs during WL mode?

Wonderfully helpful broadcast! Thank you.

Just found you today and loved this video and the information you shared. Makes a lot of sense. I love the setting, your voice and your energy and most off all I just love the bird on your jacket. New follower here form South Africa

Off topic, but your jacket is really pretty. Thanks for the supportive videos. You're the best!

Fasting is very spiritual. I did several days and the longer I went the less 'hungry' I was. Good for you - a true reset! I would highly recommend transitioning with bone broth into carnivore

Thank you for your video! Will start my fasting tomorrow.

God led me here 🥲🥲🥲thank you so so much for this honest account of how you lost weight and kept it off. You are such a blessing 🙏

I had to do a fast to just get a break from... food. I've heard people say that it's easier to quit drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes because you can just NOT take those things at all. But with food, you still have to eat. Day after day. Portion control, thinking about it, cooking it, smelling it. Social events are centered around food. And I was just sick of it all. After an initial crappy week, the cravings stopped and I got energy. I felt so damn liberated. My husband was deployed at the time and the kids were grown so I had the house to myself. Before I began I gutted the entire place of all food items. (Except dog and cat food) It was a pickle craving that broke that fast. Then meat. For the next three months I could not stop eating beef. I finally settled on the carnivore way of life and it's so natural for my body. Tomorrow I'm breaking a ten day fast and, although it was painless, I'm ready. I'll be enjoying a nice steak.

You are an excellent story teller!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Absolutely love your energy!

I was going to start today and got to the afternoon and ate something. This is so encouraging

This is very interesting....I'm eating basically soup as a main meal and usually only one meal a day. I'm able to maintain my weight fairly well and when I step up my hour long walks to 3x or more a week I feel quite well. Thank you for posting...bless from Arizona 🦁

So now it's three years after I did my own 16 day fast and I kept most of the weight off but have not lost more trying to eat Carnivore... being such a carb-addict I have failed but I ran across your video again now nearly a year after I first watched it and find you are very inspiring and giving me the inspiration to try another fast myself... I know it would be very good for me and after I could also try a one meal a day plan.

I love the way you explained the process. Love your vids💕

I can totally relate to this.i lost 50 lbs when fasting then ate right back to what I did before. So I am going to change this time after I do the fast and one meal a day structure. Thank you for this

I did a 10 day fast under medical supervision. When she says she needed a "clean slate," i know just what she means. I went to a place called True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, CA, which is an amazing place. They call it clearing your palate. I wanted help getting off sugar, salt and fats. And the fast achieved all of that. They recommend getting off those before you arrive. But if i could have done that by myself i wouldnt be needing to go there, was my thought. Because of that decision to go cold turkey i did have a miserable second day. But it never got worse than that! I felt my last discomfort of hunger on the third day. After that, there was honestly no feeling of hunger. A gradually increasing feeling of less stamina, but no actual feeling of hunger discomfort. This is very common to long term fasting. They very gradually refed me over 4 days. This was more challenging than fasting. As Amanda says, the blissful flavors of in my case a cucumber juice, or vegetable broth eclipsed any possible pining for (horror of all horrors, a twinkie). I HIGHLY recommend an extended fast to kickstart a new life. I went there in pre-diabetes. Half way through my fast my blood glucose was down, my blood pressure was down, my arthritic inflamation was down. The dark, dark and disgusting days of last suppering my "last donut, last cookie, last hamburger, last pbutter m&ms , ETC." made me ill and brought me NO JOY. The contrast of two weeks off of all that bad food is the contrast between heaven and hell! The memory is helping me going forward one day at a time. I lost 20 lbs. Two weeks after that i had gained back 10 lbs. I made no changes and just kept going, but remember now I'm off sugar, off junk food, off fast food, and eating vastly more plant based foods. In another week I had lost that 10 lbs again. I am eating a ridiculously big salad every day, with a can of beans in it and some home made dressing. I eat something else about 3 hours later (an egg, ½ a sweet potato, etc) and then fast 16-18 hours. So not quite OMAD. I hear Amanda's voice in my ears over and over "I dont do moderation." And that is me. I go in big, too. I first heard of ELAB while isolating during my first bout with covid in 2020. Yes, it has taken me this long to get this far. i admitted i needed help, and True North was my saving grace. ( http:/healthpromoting.com ). I can't recommend them highly enough (i get no kick-back for sharing this, btw). If you just cant get it off the ground by yourself, they are the perfect solution. I understand that was all the easy part and now begins the "grind." Im here to thank Amanda for the part she has played in this that she doesn't even know about. Im thankful for sharing her success. Her books. Her videos, includung the one showing her skin wasn't crazy loose after her weight loss (which is a terror for us big girls). THANK YOU for your courage to show us the way forward and out of the maze. And for your endurance hanging in with us all the way through. ❤

love your energy!!!!!! many blessings to you, thank you so much for the insight!!!😊😊😊😊

Thank you Dr.Rose for the motivation and all the great detailed fasting journey it motivated me to restart my fasting program 😊

Oh wow. This is awesome. Thanks so much for sharing your story. I am also a all or nothing person. Trying to balance family rituals and weightloss. Thank you!

So glad you shared this. I dont have discipline and as a mom of 3, i just eat their leftovers and food straight out of pot so i just find it so hard to fast. Bit id love to try this

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Ive just restarted intermittent fasting to lose weight and improve health. I've been thinking about the next step and incorporating a 36 hour fast into my routine regularly. I like the idea of eating once a day (like the romans). Your info is great! New sub here! ❤❤

This has been the most helpful advice for breaking the fast

I’ve been struggling to get back to the 3 day fasts I used to do but I can’t seem to get a handle on even one day. I am so glad to find your channel and hope it will help me

I started a huge shift in eating habits by having nothing but watered down green smoothies of spinach, lettuce and the like. I did it for almost three weeks and lost 20 lbs. That began a complete change in eating habits. Out went sugar, sugar substitutes rice, flour, gluten, all beverages but water, and eventually seed oils and excess carbs for an eventual 65 lb weight loss. It was over a few years because the changes in food were slow. The first things that went were sugar and wheat, the gateway foods to obesity. Instead of seed oils, I use 100% certified pure olive oil or butter for cooking.

I'm proud of you Lady...🙏🏾❤️😊

Great job Amanda..go on .. appreciating

Your strategy is what I thought would work but never tested it. I am now on a 21 day water fast and will break it as you suggested..

The insulin sensitivity is so great plus the effect on leptin and Ghrelin. Things taste so much sweeter after a fast.

been watchin alot of water fast content lately, gonna try it very soon, thank you for the video

Awesome story, congratulations!

My first fast ever was the month of April. Like, the entire month. 30 days. I lost 40 pounds, after starting eating with Kettle and Fire bone broth, and getting on carnivore, I regained 5 pounds (colon got refilled) and haven't gained weight again. After 3 days, your body stops making the hunger hormone. What helped me was watching cooking shows on tv.

Such great information!! Being prepared for what you will eat afterwards makes such a big difference!!

You did a good job. You were very determined. You started a new life for yourself... in a sense.

Thank u! This has connected some dots for me & encouraged me towards my next extended fast...& there after!

First time I find a believerble story for fasting... I trying it from today.. Thanks alot for this video

New sub here. I can really relate to your advice. Thank you for this video. I lost my extra weight about 2 years ago by doing omad (and a few other tweeks to my lifestyle). I like to watch youtube to stay motivated and to get ideas. I am really inspired by your diet (I love salad and now plan to add more soups).

I’m so glad I came across your video today’s April 1st and I’m starting with a 10 day dry fast want to refeed on soups for a couple of days then do another 10 day fast your video is very motivating and I feel more mentally prepared now

You make excellent points!

Your storytelling skills are on point. I can listen to you all day 😘😘😘

I've been fasting since my teens for religious reasons--anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks at a time. When i fast, i tend to cook a ton for others, (I enjoy watching them eat LOL) and now i watch youtube food videos. By the way: Great video. Thanks

I admire your strength and willpower for this! I have such difficulty not drinking coffee and other caffeinated drinks while fasting. I’d love to drink just water for a longer time period..

I needed this. Thank you!

I am on day 26 of my water fast Amanda!
