I've lost 92.4lbs (41.9kg) through extended fasting - CONSISTENCY IS KEY! | Break Fast, Ep 32 

I'm SO CLOSE to goal weight. I need everyone to know that I'm ready and willing to share EVERYTHING I know with ALL OF YOU. I want my success to be OUR success

I fast Sun 5pm to Wed 5pm every week, walk most days and eat keto. I'm down over 100lbs. I've done 2x 21 day water fasts and 1 two week fasts. I start a 21 day fast Dec 01, 2020. In November I'll do back to back 72 with larger refeeds in between to prepare.

I’m on my 4th 65 hour back to back fast .... that’s thanks to you!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thanks for giving me the kick in the butt I needed, WHEN I needed it the most!!

I'm struggling to do 65 hour's back to back! 50 is the most! You look wonderful. Keep up the good work 👍

Morning Jerome:) I’m quite fascinated to be on this journey with you and particularly during this portion of the process. The new challenge regarding navigating your new relationship with food during the maintenance phase is something we don’t get to witness much. You spoke of the reality that it’s about to become a matter of exercising self control/willpower over your food verses what you’ve been able to do thus far and this part about “relearning” intrigues me soooo much!!! People tend to get to goal and then things kinda just stop or the yo-yo phase sets in etc... I have faith in you that that’s not what’s going to happen here! Your consistency thus far has been stellar and I’m genuinely excited to continue learning from your experiences:) No pressure lol 🥰

Dang. I do the exact same thing as you with eating as much as I want until full which for a middle aged woman happens to be a lot. I don't treat fasting like a diet. I just do 48's and 72's and have had experience in the past with OMAD which works also just slower. OMAD is my plan for maintenance then throwing in 48's or 72's as needed if the scale creeps up.

Do you find when you fast you look forward to the refeed but when you eat you can't wait to get back into a fast? That is how it's been for me. They really go together so well!

thingamybob! Another terrific video. What an amazing journey.

Your body will adjust to burn off excess calories upwards of 50% of your average daily BMR. The body will try to use the food you give it. Don’t worry too much, you could always add an extra day of fasting in there if you notice a change in weight at that point in time. One day at a time.

Best fasting channel I've come across. Subscribed. Thanks for all of your efforts. Inspiring and extremely helpful.

I'm so motivated! Love your energy. I've done IF 18/6 3 months, then OMAD (Keto)for 1 month and ready to transition to ADF and hopefully in November 48's. I have 66lbs more to lose.

Hey bro! Just found your channel and love it! I'm also from Chicago too (Las Vegas transplant). Anyhow, your story is so awesome! I've recently got into extended fasting for vanity but more for health reasons. Being Filipino we (I hope I'm assuming right) have a very indulgent culture as it shows we are enjoying and we are sharing. Wheather it be food, drinking, etc. As I've gotten older work and family take up way more time so my health had taken a told and the month boot camp that I put myself though to maintain is harder to get to unless I wake up at 4-5am. Recently I've done a couple of 4, 5, and 6 day fast and have been amazed by the results and the science behind it. Ran into your channel and love your story telling style. Keep up the great work! Love how you started your channel as part of your journey. If ur ever bored check out mine as well. Kinda happened like yours. Started building an electric skate board and then boom you have a channel 🤣. Okay pare, sorry for the long rant but take care! - Neil

You look fantastic. I've been on the fence about choosing a 30/40 day fast or multiple week-long fasts. Your videos have been tremendously helpful and your experience so well-documented. Thank you for sharing!

Currently watching this video 30 hours into my 120hr fast using the video for motivation

Congrats on the new personal best👍. Just re fed after a 72hour.. September 25th was my girlfriend's birthday so in preparation i did a 96hour fast and broke it on her birthday with cake and lobster noodles and loads of other fun stuff that I shouldn't eat (I have t2 diabetes, Dr told me that I had reversed it) I put on 2kg and my blood sugar skyrocketed for days and even now after a 96 and a 72 before that it's still high and I'm still only in mild ketosis. Prior to eating cake and carbs my GKI was 0.3 my current GKI number is 3.3, I wish I could eat what I really wanted to the way you like you do because I would eat cheesecake.. baked.. continental.. hmmmm and lasagne and fried rice.. I was a carbohydrate addict and it does kinda suck that I can't eat what I really want even after a 96hour but I did learn that I haven't reversed t2 diabetes (yet) like Doc said i had and that for now I have to keep on the carnivore train. Despite the hiccup, as of today I weigh 93kg and only 5 months ago i weighed 122kg, so I've lost 29kg thanks to this way of fasting

I’ve seen people talk about the benefit of dry fasting and tightening loose skin. What has your experience been if any with dry fasting?

Good job man! You look great. Any problems with loose skin if you don't mind me asking? Autophagy should have done it's thing with all that fasting I would assume? Currently on day 3 of a 30 day fast. 10 is the most I ever made it too so wish me luck!

Jerome, thank you for your generous spirit. I started fasting and keto in February 2020 after discovering the work of Dr. Jason Fung. At the time, I desperately needed to get off insulin. I was diagnosed T2 Diabetic in 2018. After just 3 weeks, I was taken off insulin and within 3 months, my diabetes was in remission. Since then my HbA1c has dropped to a staggering 4.7 and I've lost over 50lbs. I'm still fasting and doing keto as I still suffer severe insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. And I have more weight to lose. I'll be breaking a 65hr fast today. Your videos are great company on this journey.

You should never refeed the way you did in this video, because of refeeding syndrome. Some have died from doing that kind of feeding after extended fasting.

How exciting your heading towards a new stage in your health goals looking forward to seeing your process and how you go about it super encouraging appreciate your content

Jerome is going 💪on us 👍

As you I found my formula for weight...72 hors fasting every 15 dayes then eat everything....I need to go down 2 more kg but with this method I keep it stady. You are great

Excellent content brother. Definitely subscribing

Calories got nothing to do with it. It's all about insulin control. If those calories come from carbs and sugar and thus drives your insulin up, it's very different if those calories come from Salmon. Eat foods with little to no impact on you insulin levels. You sound extreamily Insulin Resistant and very addicted to sugar and carbs. Like a dry drunk, white nuckling sobriety, then going on a bender. Then waking up hungover and back to white nuckling it. The weight loss is impressive. You deserve major praise for that.

I really need help with refeed, I've been fasting for 60 to 80hours, and every refeed i get diarrhea.... Is just so annoying, and I'm not eating to much, most of my refeed is veggies and meat, a bit of carbohydrate but no sweets, so what should I do?

If you're planning on building muscle dont be surprised if you have no problem eating 6k every other day. Also OMAD would probably be more effective for muscle building depending on how hard you train.

Does dry fast tighten loose skin? New here... this is so interesting! TFS

Great job. I too doing the same thing since March from 259 now at 174. The vitamins I'm taking for better absorption which really helps alot for fasting are from keto chow great product . I thought I throw that out there and Dr. Berry website great advice. Keep up the fight were in this together. Peace.

Maya said check you out and you have awesome content. Thank you!!

For anyone who's looking forward to fasting, you better get your thyroid checked first. Don't make the same mistake as me 🤤

It isn't weird at all that you have some anxiety about doing shorter fasts. Maintenance isn't easy. I know I struggle with maintenance and holding my weight. I don't want to eat daily, but it's a struggle to not continue losing when I do my normal 40's. Yes right now I'm temporarily doing 65's and my weight is dropping faster than I expected so I don't know if I can continue through the end of the month which is what I had planned. I have to do the opposite of you and choose higher-calorie lower density healthy foods because it's difficult for me to even hit 3k calories my max is usually around 2800 kcals and that's pushing it. I don't track regularly but every once in a while when I feel I've had a day that I was stuffed I will take look at the foods that I ate and put them in a tracker and it will be around 2800 to 2850 calories. You may not have to worry as much as you think you do about the calories. It takes fuel to build muscle, and muscle burns more calories than fat. If you really plan to hit the gym regularly maybe you can continue with the 65's. There's no way to really know until you get there.

So i just broke a 91hr around 2pm today. I took it easy and ate about 15 chips some salsa and some guac. Then i had a bowl of chicken caldo. Im so upset. I couldn't finish my bowl. I think i got about 1800 calories in all. My stomach is shrinking so much. This is my third back to back fast. I did 71 hrs then 64 now 91. I've lost 17.68 lbs. I havent been hungry at all except for a few minutes around 72 hrs on this one. But so far so good. Just worried about not being able to eat more.

Hi Jerome I'm new to your channel and you are so watchable . What an incredible journey and transformation ! . I hope the next transition stage works as well for you and I'll be tuning in ... . Just a side note , you remind me of The Professor in Money Heist , something about your eyes and the way you smile. It's a brilliant series if you've not watched it .

I'm thinking you should look into keto for your transition into more frequent eating. If you minimise carbs and vegetable/seed oils while boosting your fat and protein intake, you will still be getting enough energy while maintaining your weight. The increase of fat & protein intake will help you with your desires to grow muscle too, remember you're going to need to feed your body a little bit more when you're stressing it with exercise

Hey bro, do you typically experience weight gain when refeeding? and if so, how long does it take for it to come off?

Hi thank you for sharing your journey can you please tell us what app you use to track your fasting hours thanks

How about uping the meats and eating that first when you get down to ADF?? I feel it fillsme up and satiates me and I eat less after 😉

Is there loose skin with massive weight loss? I am afraid of this I just have 10-15 lbs to lose but I’m 46 so my skin might not bounce back

I love and relate to your strategies.. Sooo inspiring and reassuring..

Hello, did you have any loose skin ? Thanks

This week I’m eating only on Thursday and Sunday!

I dont understand... If you eat every 3 days the same ammount of food you need for 3 days... How is possibile to loose weight?

wow thats a huge refeed. How do you not see any issues with such a huge insulin spike?

Glad you are happy.

How tall are you? Good Job very Impressive!

Any idea what your BMR is? DexaScan?

Why the gigantic refeeds? I thought mine were bad!! That was my downfall this time last year where I ate 3 OMAD meals a week (ie. 2x48's and 1x72 fasts per week) and should have lost about 30lb between Oct 11th and Christmas but my 3 refeeds a week must have been in the 3000-3500kcal range (2400kcal TDEE) because I only lost 20LB. I thought I was binge eating at 3500kcal OMAD's but Holy F*^k, 6000-7000kcal refeed!!!??? Why??? Whats the point in fasting 90hrs and then eating nearly 3 days worth of calories on the refeed?? I mean, I totally understand the rationale of leaning into the propensity to binge where one finds it hard to portion control but much easier to Meal control instead. ie. I maintain with Full TDEE OMAD which means I get to eat whatever the F I want to the point of stuffedness.....but only once per day. However, I've never seen someone take that rationale to such an extreme where you maintain by doing rolling 90hr fasts....but then eating 3 days worth of calories on a refeed?? Now personally I fell off the wagon at the beginning of the year. I had been disappointed that I only lost 20 instead of 30lb before Christmas. I definitely noticed my trousers getting loose, I noticed my belly was flat when lying on my back in bed now that the visceral balloon fat was gone. (Gravity still meant very visible sub-cutaneous fat belly when standing though). However at the time I was disappointed that my face and chin fat hadn't budged....or so I thought. After 9 weeks of fasting and the above slightly disappointing results, I lost my fasting Mojo after the Christmas fasting break. Then had a car accident in January.....and then COVID19 hit........and I put on the proverbial COVID 19lb during lockdowns over the last few months. So it was back to square one for me. However this time I won't make those same mistakes. No. 1. Only once I put the 19lb back on did I realise how much face and chin fat I had actually lost in those 9 weeks. So in other words, this time round, I'll actually trust friends and family who told me they could see the weight loss in my face in as little as 3-4 weeks last time round and won't be getting de-motivated by ME not seeing the face/chin go when I look in the mirror every day. No. 2. I am going to do rolling 72's this time round which will add about 10 extra fasted days to the total between now and Christmas. No. 3. I am going to be much more careful about the refeeds this time round and aim to be much closer to my TDEE with them rather than the 1000kcal+ above it. If all goes well, I could potentially be down 40LB between Oct 11th and Christmas. Oct 11th is when I start as its a motivator given its the 1 year anniversary since I started my last fasts in 2019. I found my 9 weeks fasting last year incredibly easy....once I finally motivated myself to start, got over that first skipped OMAD meal and through the first week whereupon all my Ghrelin (hunger hormone) surges abated. Its that first day and first week to a lessor extent that are the hard part for me. The Oct 11th Anniversary is the motivator to push me over the edge to get going again. LOL.

Congrats man. I started my journey a year and half ago. 227-now 176.. I have the same goals. I want to get to 140. How bads the skin is my question. the loose skin worry's me

Yes to muscle building.

Is it okay to do water fasting in 3days? Does it burn more fats?

That's binge eating.

Please can you coach me for free? I am doing rolling 72s and i need some motivation

When you eat like this after your fast doesn’t it send you to the bathroom. Diarrhea?

Im so glad i found your channel. I lost weight through fasting as well but not as extended as yours. When covid happened, i fell in a wormhole and kinda gained back a lot of the weight that i lost. i restarted in October and im on my second 65 hour fast. Im planning to do carnivore refeeds going forward eating every Tuesday and Saturday. I think that's something i can do. I enjoy carnivore as i have a terrible sweet tooth and that keeps it at bay. I also do salted water black coffee and sparkling water during fasts. Wish me luck and i hope to be as successful as you. Found you through Maya. You are awesome! Love your channel

6000 calories! That’s insane! That seems like binge starve routine? What if refeeding is just 3000 calories? But I guess everyone has a different way and lifestyle they like. 140 and I need to get to 130 lbs. I’m 5’4 so even 120 is ok but I look younger at 130.

Try omad, exercise daily, eat 3,000 cals a day

I can't eat that much after breaking my extended fast

Sounds like someone about to get ripped! 👍👍

Question, as soon as you eat your last bite, is that when the fast restarts or it it next morning? I'm not sure how to count my starting point.

So this was your first time ? Then you gain weight and now you are losing weight again?

Hey y’all your goal weight?

What do you drink while fasting?

I am a fan of

Bro what's u r height

It almost sounds as though you’ve developed an eating disorder?the re feeds are totally binge eating
