Congratulations! I started last night and I’m at hour 20 and hoping I can feel as well as you when I am at hour 40. I, too, don’t know how long I’ll go as this is my very first long fast. Are you using MCT oil? Mine doesn’t arrive until tomorrow.
@@angelakodicek No to the oil. Being your first long fast, best is water only, unless you have some mineral supps. My first was 36 OMG that was a mental battle all the way. Now done so many 36+, I am moving up, this might even turn out to be my first 60.
Considering the first 72 hours of a true water fast can be the most challenging, you are more than half way there. After that, it is a breeze. All the best in your journey to extend your lifespan and improve your health span.
Dr. Mindy, this is off topic, but I wanted to tell you that since watching your videos, I've developed a love of cold showers. I never thought I'd say those words, but I feel so good during and after and look forward to it as soon as I wake up. Thank you for helping me be a better version of myself. ❤🙌🏻❤
Great post. I am trying to overcome flouride poisoning by fasting and nettle, ginger, turmeric and pepper tea. I'm at about 45hrs. I am desperate to break fast, but it's 8pm so I think I will benefit by waiting till morning. Thanks for all your content.
@matbritton6816 Hello! Please would you share how you knew you had fluoride poisoning?? I’m seeing doc who told me to stop with All fluoride but never said what he’s basing it on??
@@loribakergirl6438 I was showing symptoms. Extra strength prescription toothpaste. Instruction not to rinse after spitting. Basically a dangerous prescription. Ive ordered some hydroxyapatite toothpaste as a safer option Look after your teeth kids! 🦷 Maybe not with high strength flouride toothpaste though.
@@loribakergirl6438 I was using high flouride toothpaste prescribed by my dentist. I was told not to rinse after spitting. I had palpitations, headache, shortness of breath, among other symptoms. Switched to hydroxyapatite toothpaste now.
I was 40 hours in my 3-day fast and was making my kids lunch, when suddenly I had diarrhea!! I don’t know where it came from, but WHOAH. I wondered if this was my microbiome changed!! I kept going and felt better by evening. I’m 59 hours in and feeling great now.
@@DrMindyPelzcan fasting also help with archae and intestinal methane overgrowth ? I am doing a 5 day water fast … should I take anti microbial with it or just do water fast ?
I’m still pampering myself for now. Waiting on my cycle to start any day now. Perimenopause limbo I call it. LOL! I say this because I was the woman that use to have to day off of work when my cycle started. I cramped severely. I always blamed it on my 3 c-sections for my babies and being a middle aged woman. I never knew the Fast Like A Girl way. Now, Ever since following Dr Mindy and applying the Fast Like A Girl techniques from the course, for the past couple months, my cycle has been the best ones I’ve ever had. If you can say that about having a period. Fasting and its timing in your cycle is key and means everything!
Thank you so much for sharing!! We are so happy for you, congratulations!! Those are HUGE wins!! You do hard things and your amazing body is responding as it was created to do. 🙌 Dr Mindy's Team 💙
Doing my first 24h fast now and 1 hour to go! I finally got my ketones up, now 1.2 mmol/L. With my normal 8/16 they are never over 0.3-0.4. Already planned a feast with salmon, veggies, sauerkraut and paocai 😋 I never get the mental clarity that Mindy is always talking about. I wonder why? Waiting for a Fast like a boy -book 😘
I would like to thank you dr Mindy! I have been fasting for years now and I came across one of the podcasts you were a guests and found out about this tailor-to-cycle method and it has been spot on! Unfortunately I slipped, had to go to business travel and fly and got a middle ear infection. My first instinct was to go to the doctor and get an antibiotic. I have gone through over a month series of antibiotics, they either didn’t work well enough or caused dangerous allergic reactions. Long story short, after a month I asked my doctor, could we pls stop this and could I starve this bacteria with fasting. She agreed and gues what… after 70hrs my ears started to hurt, I went to sleep and on the next day the pain and discomfort was gone. I fasted 90hrs and went for a check up on another day. My doctor confirmed my ears are fine!!! Thank you ❤
Can you please do a video on H pylori? My boyfriend thinks fasting is bad for those with H pylori. He said he read an article somewhere. He has ulcers and is antibiotic resistant. Matter of fact, the last antibiotics made him so sick he had to go to the ER.
I had years and years of bloating, even eliminating all the foods I tested intolerant, and the bloating went away all of sudden 3 days after I started fasting.
I've been breaking my fasts lately with my homemade Kefir fermented 4-5 days in Organic Goat Milk from Austria. My grains grow so fast, my fridge is full of kefir
I was attempting a 72-hour fast and ended up consuming an amino acids and enzymes supplement at hour 65. I think that broke my fast, and I was so heartbroken 💔 After taking it, I experienced diarrhea. Next time I try a 72 hour fast, I'll start on cycle day 1 and will stick to just electrolytes and green tea!
@DrMindyPelz, Thank you for yet another brilliant video and information. Just wanted to say your skin is glowing in the recent videos. Please can you share what you do in addition to look after your skin as a post menopausal woman besides fasting and detoxing. Thank you in advance. Keep up the great work you are doing in transforming womens healthcare. Love you loads!❤

Im trying so hard to do a gut reset I did a 3 day bone broth fast 6 months ago and it did help. I just loose so much weight I went down to 109 last time and im struggling on how to fast and no loose too much weight like today I did a 16 hour fast I've been doing that for like 2 years fasting/omad) and I am finally reading your book realizing I need to follow my cycle but as soon as I eat like today a piece of hard cheese i have to run to the bathroom. Tomorrow i will just have coffee and bone broth I feel like i do 1 meal a day all the time and as soon as i eat more my gut doesn't like. Its rather frustrating. If anyone has any tips I would appreciate it After watching this i probably need to eet more veggies
Post menopausal woman here. With AFD (36 hrs), I’m trying to 1. reverse fatty liver, 2. Lose 100 pounds (down 16 so far). My question is, on the one day I come out of ketosis, should I stick with limited fruit and non starchy vegetables?
Totally your choice based on your goals and food values. Keyword search on Dr Mindy's you tube channel how to break a fast of that length and then how to eat that day. You can take the 4 steps to breaking your fast and have that last the day you break and into the next day. You do not have to move to full macros right away. Here's our Fasting 101 guide 💙: bit.ly/3ZM6DcT 💙 Dr Mindy's Team
Thank you. I now have some direction on what I should do. I'm 62 yrs old. Today is Day 1 of a 7 day antibiotic regimen following oral surgery. I am concerned about what the antibiotic will do to my gut microbiome.
Go away - or switch into a quiescent state owing to nutrient scarcity, ready to be reactivated as soon as food arrives again? I have heard other experts say this. I guess I will find out as I have sibo and am doing a water fast currently...
Very interesting. I am 67, ketovore(eat half an apple and berries now and then). My blood hormones are tanked. I fast anywhere from 12-15 hrs every day. When you say break ketosis for a day how is this done? Dont want to go carb crazy as its addictive to me.
For post-meno women you can do a weekly variation like the 5-1-1 or the 4-2-1 Protocol. Notice the days that are hormone feasting- that means Natures Carbs (not processed carbs like packaged food or breads/pasta). The 5-1-1 is 5 Days of various fasting lengths, 1 Day of 24 hours fasting and 1 Day of NO fasting. In the 4-2-1 it is 4 Days of various fasting lengths, 2 Days of long fasts and 1 Day of 24 hour fasting.

What I always try to remember is grehlin is highest between 12 and 24 hours. You wanna die you’re so hungry! It gets easier after 24 hours. I try drinking carbonated water when I’m hungry, and walking, which seems to help. When I’m desperate I’ll drink a little black coffee. Hope this helps!! Fasting is like running a marathon. Take it one hour or mile at a time. :)
Hi there, have you heard about a Fasted Snack? When beginners start to lengthen their fasts and struggle, Dr. Mindy suggests a "fasted snack" to help them fast longer. This is to be used only sparingly and the goal is to not be dependent on the "fasted snack". Perhaps give it a try and see if you can stretch your fast to a 21 or 24 hour fast. 💙Dr. Mindy's Team Here are teaching videos from Dr. Mindy about Fasted Snacks: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hBP3-ime25Q.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kc8RG3n-RY4.html

Hi, Thanks for asking. have you read the book Fast Like A Girl? During your period is the best time for longer fasts. You can order Fast Like a Girl here: fastlikeagirl.com 💙 Dr Mindy's Team
During a 36 hour fast would I lose my bum fat aswell? I only want to lose weight on my belly 😢 Also how can I implement fasting when I want to build muscle? I weight lift 3/4 times a week so I’m not sure how I can do it without fainting
Will fasting cause permanent fat loss? I’m somewhat worried because I’m already lean and I’m looking to do it for the autophagy and health benefits but not trying to lose any weight in the long term. Thanks!
Hi there, The major premise of fasting is that we are not eating less, we are eating less often. Compressing our eating window and elongating our fasting window. The fasting window is where the healing happens. If you do not want to lose weight, you need to eat in your eating window even if you are not hungry. Eat nutrient dense foods. Lots of protein to build up amino acids. More fat, more protein, and more of nature's carbs. 💙Dr. Mindy’s Team
I am really struggling. I feel great while I’m fasting and am varying my fasts. The problem is I can’t figure out what to eat when I’m not fasting. Everything is giving me diarrhea. I’ve tried kefir, avocado, salads, protein, everything. I eat, then spend the next half hour on the toilet. I have a lot of food sensitivities including being lactose intolerant , chia seeds, flax sends me sideways. Nut butters produced hives. I was hoping that a 36 hour would help reset but nope.

Can i ask, i fast for 48hours, but when my fasting time is over , how long time is my eating window after i break my fast, for 36hr fast the eating window is 12hr, how much is 48hr. before i get back to regular fasting period.
Hi! It depends on you, but it is great if you nourish your body's need after a prolonged fasting window before you start on another fast. 🙂 💙 Dr. Mindy's Team
Depends on the individual. Dr Mindy recommends taking supplements as needed. Fasting is a healing exercise and one can postpone some supplements until the eating window. Some supplements like D3, B-complex and minerals can cause nausea if taken on an empty stomach. Thanks for watching! 🙂 Here is the trusted website that Dr. Mindy uses and you can search for any supplement. Link: store.nuvisionhealthcenter.com 💙 Dr Mindy's Team
I am not myself there yet but ... I was sure the advice I heard from dr Mindy up until now was that post menopausal women use a bogus 30 days cycle and act as cycling women would do. In this video the advice given is that post menopausal women need to step out of ketosis once every 5-7 days. ???
You can do the 30 Day Reset as outlined in Dr Mindy's book, Fast like a Girl, using the 'New Moon' as your Day 1 (use search engine to find the day of new moon) or you can do a weekly variation like the 5-1-1 or the 4-2-1 Protocol. The 5-1-1 is 5 Days of various fasting lengths, 1 Day of 24 hours fasting and 1 Day of NO fasting.

I am curious to know how to fast if I do not have a colon anymore. It was mostly removed due to serious colitis and then a tumor. I have trouble with very short digestion time and frequent need to relieve myself. Could this be improved through fasting?

I started this week with 36-42h fast on M, W and F. my blood sugar is 3.3-4.0 mmol and feeling weak on my fasting days and ketones don’t rise much (not even on my longer fasts).I’m also carnivore over a year and IF a lot of+longer fasts in between (24-72h). Thinking it might have something to do with my liver?! Is the protocol I’m on currently taking care of my assumptions with the liver if the problem lies there? Also the scale and BMI doesn’t seem to change at all🙄🤷♀️

I wanna do a long fast because I have leaky gut but I’m underweight because I have to eliminate so many foods it’s not possible to get enough calories. Any advice from a dr
Ya at 3 minutes in, this is why I haven't fasted, I've heard not to. I have LG plus Candida. So I can expect an adverse response if I do this? I don't need to lose any weight so I'm a little concerned since my body isn't processingfats well. I'm mostly ketovore. This is all getting confusing

What about perimenopause? I have a cycle every 3 to 4 months (I am doing HRT also). This means I never know when my period will be starting so I can’t calculate when is that “week before my cycle” to not being in Ketosis.

I feel awesome, have not lost much weight, but I feel so good THANK YOU I believe that it’s healing all of my body stuff, I have always have issues going to the bathroom, Iam not as regular as I would have like it. I drink water all throughout my fasting, now I have add the lemon ginger water as well. What Iam doing wrong??? Will like more bathroom time. Thank you again for your wisdom

Just reading through the comments… Are most simply lacking any sort of discipline or impulse control? It’s like we are a bunch of sugar/drug addicts! Going without food, whether 24 hours or 24 days is objectively easy, so long as one doesn’t have to exert themselves physically or mentally. Obviously, if you have to work, it will be much more of a challenge. Sure seems like the bar of expectation is set so low…sad.
