Notes about this video. It is absolutely essential for me to share that I fast for 2 reasons:  ● for cell repair and disease prevention. If you have not read about autophagy, I encourage you to look it up.  ● I find fasting extremely beneficial for my adventures where food can be limited - rowing the Atlantic, long distance hikes, my recent trip living on a desert island. Fasting helps my body become fat-adapted which allows me to perform well in those kind of environments. Also, a note to say I do not follow the ketogenic diet (I tried it many years ago for many months). It doesn't suit me as I enjoy carrots, and beetroot, and other vegetables and fruits too much. I also found it anti-social (visiting friends for dinner etc) and my tummy wasn't happy (if you catch my drift 😉)

Hi Laura. I was watching your video while munching on a BIG bag of chips. I ballooned in the couple of days. Could be sleeping meds. Anyway, I started the LIFE app.3 days. To put that into the app, I have to press '+' 48 times? I can't put in duration anywhere? Weird, if not possible.

@bxbank 2 года назад

Also, can I have black coffee? I do find that having a lot of coffee does trigger ghrelin. But a long black a day OK? Do you drink coffee anyway?

@@bxbank yes, you can have black coffee. I do not drink coffee, I do not like the taste. I tried one cup on this fast and it ended up in the plants 😆 Be sure to drink plenty of water though and not to rely on coffee if you do drink it.

@dawoodwaris 2 года назад

What surprises me is the elevated ketosis count even after 4 days of breaking your fast. So I was wondering if followed healthy keto diet after fast, might able to keep the ketosis high then. I tried to do 5&7 day fast couple of time and forced to break on the 3rd day as my work is quite demanding and stressful, experienced brain fog in between. Thanks Laura for your video, I will push myself to reach a 5 day next time, will take a life insurance before tha just incase.

I feel bad for our society that has been conditioned that we will “die if we don’t eat. I have fasted for years and grateful it has been a part of my journey. The longest I have done is 42 days. (Water fast) It’s crazy to watch my body GET HEALTHY. My skin never clears up till day 14 because there is so much JUNK in our foods!!!!! It’s definitely different for everyone but there are so many benefits to fasting that people can’t comprehend. If you struggle. Just make sure you make it through day three. Stay focused for that. We teach our body how to function and sometimes we need to RETRAIN IT. Eventually you won’t be hungry and you can literally feel your body get healthier and your brain clearer along with more energy each day as you go forward. You got this. I will be 62 in February. I’ve been fasting since my late 30’s and it’s been the great secret to helping my body be HEALTHY!!!!!!Find out for yourself!!!!!

Did the chains break? Did you deliver from gluttony and overeating?

@evangelesong6319 6 часов назад

@nooshinzeydi9624 initially no, I went right back to my old ways. However, a few months ago I was set free. My cravings reduced overnight. Not by 100% but by 70%, to a manageable level. I was spending $10 every single day on junk. Now I don't do that at all. The longer I go, the more my cravings disappear. They come back more around the menstrual time but again, manageable. Praise the Lord, I've been set free. I know it's not by my doing as I've had this issue since I was a toddler.

@nooshinzeydi9624 6 часов назад

I'm 61 and I just finished a 5 day water fast so today was the first day I could eat. I wasn't eating a lot of calories before the fast, and I was eating low carb too. I walked 3 miles every morning, and often took a shorter walk in the afternoon. The first 4 days were no problem, I didn't feel super hungry and drinking water eliminated the feeling. The fifth day was very difficult. I had very low energy and was much hungrier. But that fifth day was very warm, almost 90 degrees, and the other days were only in the 60s-70s, so I blame it on the heat. One thing I want to warn people about when you start eating again is that you need to eat very low or no fat and build up until your body can handle it. Otherwise you'll be having a lot of diarrhea every time you eat.

@whokilledjr3719 7 месяцев назад

Once you start suffering low energy like that you should start eating, hence ending your fast at 4 days. Listening to your body is key and you’re likely making yourself worse if you persevere for more than you can handle

I just completed my 5 day Water-Only fast ( no electrolytes), with a little common salt added - every other time I have water. (I do have a lot of water, so supplement whatever sodium is lost in urination, by adding common salt ). I will continue for another 2 days to make it a full week of fasting. No issues- no headache, no hunger, nothing. So much less work - no going to toilet to poop, minimum brushing and lot of time as none is spent on eating and cleaning up. I am not advising anyone to do what I am doing, as I am not a doctor. Only sharing my experience.

@ROYinka 5 месяцев назад

Well done on your fast ! My longest fast was 72 hours . It was tough though . It’s not the hunger but the boredom and sometimes I struggle with weakness . However I don’t know if it’s a coincidence but every time I use electrolytes I get a headache at some point during my fast and I don’t use them I’m ok .

I hit my brick wall at around day 5-6 but 7-8 onwards is like a rocket and I could go on forever. 20 days is my record so far but looking to do a 40 dayer before xmas... I'm on day 5 now of a planned 7-15 dayer but might just turn into my 40 dayer :) The best trick is not to set a number of days just get into the fast and if 3 days feels enough so be it... if the fast feels good keep doing it!

I conducted an experiment: I wanted to compare my hunger pangs. fasting hunger vs after eating junk food hunger. I fasted for 7 days, only unsweetened tea, black coffee, and water for 7 days. a 1/2 hour after i broke my fast (burger and chicken biscuit sandwich) i was hungrier than i was all seven days of fasting. hunger after eating junk food was significantly greater than when fasting 7 days.

I love that you don’t follow a keto diet, and enjoy your fruits and vegetables. Im a bit like that too, I’ve tried keto and carnivore but I can’t stick to it because I like my vegetables, salad and fruit. I’ve settled more on low carb, and a bit more protein and moderate or low fat, and now getting back into the fasting. I love your reaction to eating at the end, there’s nothing quite like it, when you have those first few mouthfuls, food never tastes so good after a long fast. Thanks 😊

I usually have one complete fasting day a week with Nothing at all to eat for about 36 hours. I find it keeps me feeling energised and healthy. Each week feels different though, some are hard and some easy. The longest I've done is 3 days. I'm fasting tomorrow because I am 5 days in to having COVID and I want to get in to autophagy to clear the virus up and any damage it has done. My symptoms have gone now apart from some fatigue. I might give a five day fast a try and have a full detox.

@LauraTryUK 2 года назад

Hey, I used to do a fast each Wednesday (I think it was about 2017) I think I stopped because I was training hard for an event. Snap on the COVID, that's why I did this one. Hoping that all those junk virus cells were abolished. I wish you well! The post-fatigue is pretty awful. Also check out the 5 Day Diet by Patrick Holford, that was an interesting read and experiment. Good for cell repair too but can eat.

Well, I just started my 2nd 7 day fast. I did one last year and it was helpful. During the past year I learned that it does not take that much time for health gains to be lost. My last 2 months had been bad, and I feel very unhealthy. Hopefully, in 7 days' time I will regain the health I fought so hard to improve.

@veeveeisallyouneed 11 месяцев назад

I started out wanting to do a 72 hour fast, but since my friend is fasting for ten days I've decided to increase my fasting time to five days to keep him company for a little extra time. My longest fast prior to this was 46 hours into a 48 hour fast. I learned from that experience to drink more water with electrolytes and to take 1/4 tsp salt twice a day. I have remained active for the first two days - walking and weights, but may take it a bit easier today and tomorrow judging from your video, but I'll see how I feel. I'm excited to go a little longer, but my sleep has been terrible, so hopefully that improved. 57 hours in!

Ha! I've been enjoying your videos for a while and just joined. glean so much useful information from you and am adding, bit by bit useful things to make my life better. I'm 70 years old, a 2 time cancer survivor looking to be more disciplined in my life. I had already been doing intermittant fasting, pretty active, and have been a walking experiment most of my life. Aurophagy is where it's at and started a 3 day fast, but I'm open to a couple more days, as I am fully retired, and 3 days is a basic goal, I've done 48 hrs and want to flex my fasting muscles. I'm not a fan of cold showers, but will do once a week. again, thank you.

brilliantly put together covered every base and angle. Subbed and will be binging your channel. I've been OMAD carnivore since new years day. As of today 110 days hit 5 st loss. Had intended to include some 48hr fasts ; have in past; but stuck OMAD as feels right. Weight loss has slowed and plateaued a few times. Considering doing ADF maybe need to just get a few 48s in first. Goals are alot more weight off and fitness health and life improvements .

Hi Laura. After watching your 7 days without food video I've decided to do it also, but I thought I would not jump into the 7 days without food straight away. Since Jan I am doing no food Tuesdays, so this week I've decided to extend the time to no food for 3 days. I've had my last mean on Monday evening and started my not eating period, but on Thursday morning (after about 60 hours with no food) I just couldn't get out of bed :) I was feeling so sick, I could barely move. I knew that 3rd day will be the hardest, but wasn't expecting the feelings I've got, so I've stopped my fasting and had some food. Have you experienced something similar during your first fasting period or this time?

I feel a bit shaky at times and a little weak/generally not feeling good but over all my energy seems higher than usual.

Today I am starting a week fast, I don’t get hungry though, I wonder if my body is just used to it since you said you adjusted faster the second time you did it, makes sense. Yoga and fasting makes me feel amazing!!! Definitely worth it especially w the price of food now and 2 kids to feed 😂
