There are literally 100's of videos of obese people who fasted for 30 days and lost 100lbs. The bottom line: they may have a harder time fasting but they still lost the weight. Nothing worth doing is easy...don't be deterred...be determined. ❤
That's not a thing for everybody. I'm 265 but if you saw me you wouldn't think I am. If I lost 70lbs which is my goal currently, there won't be any loose skin. I am overweight, but I'm 6ft and stocky. The people with loose skin are overweight and rounded and overweight by a large amount. I'd have to get to like 350lbs to have loose skin. My mother was 320 lbs, now she's 240 and been so for many years and she got a little bit. Perhaps if I went down to 150 I'd have loose skin but why would I go down to 150? 180-190 is good for me and still healthy, I'm 6ft tall man and work out for muscle too.@@Sideofgreen
Fasted for 40 days. I lost 55 lbs. 1 gallon of water, 2 mugs of green tea and suplemented daily. I drank water when I felt hunger pains. Worked out early morning and walked 2 miles per day. Gained 10 lbs when I started reintroduced healthy foods. 4 years later I went back to old habits and I am currently gearing up to do it again. Mind over matter is the key unless your fast is born of fear/necessity. Good luck.
I’ve gone 83 hours (only water fasts) and I wanted to increase the hours, I was wondering if you Would be kind enough to tell how much it affected your sugar levels (if you did check it) and if you experienced loose skin issues? (if so how did you handle it) I’ve a low blood sugar level and I’m worried longer fasting would affect my health
@@Lokidrip Give a good search for Dr. Eric Berg's videos on the sugar part. As far as the loose skin it was basically non existent. I had a small skin sag at the point under my chin from the back of my throat to the top of my Adams apple. It was visible, when my head was positioned in certain ways, from the side, and sometimes when I turned my head. There was a lecture I listened to about water fasting and the doctor gave major time to the topic of diabetics and water fasting. When I remember I will visit back and drop it for you. The fast was a game changer for my blood. I had teenage erections/ the sudden almost inadvertent kind that last for long periods of time. I could run long distances again and not be flushed and feeling the serious heart palpitations. No more edema type swelling in my lower legs. Too much more to list as to the positive effects. I hope you can make it to 30-40 days. It will change your life friend.
If you're fat you have plenty of reserves to fast for months if you want. Its the best thing you can do for your body if you wanna heal it and drop that fat. It literally heals almost everything.
This is so informative. I don't understand why more information like this isn't out there, and how to reduce your weight not just safely, but with intelligence. I guess the pharma industry just doesn't want us to know. Shameful. So glad I found you here, you've given all of us such important information, based on science. Thank you Dr. Boz!
I just fasted for 34 days water only. Lost 42lbs. Now I've lost 64 in total still need to loos 54 more.😢 Update: went and got gastric sleeve. Only lost 31 in three months. In this last year of trying I lost 83. BUT I still have 30 more to go and even with the gastric sleeve it is sp slow and I'm loosing muscle rapidly. Not happy about that. This has been the toughest road to health. Got a continuous glucose monitor and I really like seeing what food does to my body.
Would you mind sharing why you got the gastric sleeve if fasting was working for you? You would have gotten to your goal weight eventually but now there's the added risk dealing with the gastric sleeve.
This video was extremely well done. Very packed with great information in such a short time. I have been experimenting with fasting over the last few months and this perfectly explains why I'm struggling so hard with a three day fast when in the past it wasn't a problem when I was leaner. Now that I am very obese, I'm older, and my system is messed up, I am experiencing exactly what you were talking about with the unhealthy patients whereas before when I was not as unhealthy and younger, I experienced success and euphoria with those type of fasts. So I have literally proven this with my own body over the last two months and I've had a very difficult time trying to lose weight. My doctor, suspects I suffer from hypothyroidism, but because my insurance is such poor quality, I cannot afford all the doctor visits to get it properly fixed. I am trying to look for ways to fix my hypothyroidism with natural methods, and some sort of fasting, but with hypothyroidism issues it's very difficult to lose weight. I'm going to try these keto methods that are suggested in this video and see if I can get myself fixed. I've read the treatments for various hypothyroid issues, and I'm not keen on going down the medical root of destroying my thyroid, or being on medicine for the rest of my life. I really want to fight hard to see if I can correct my body naturally. Thanks again for this video. It really explains so much! You've helped me see why these fast attempts are not working and have offered a solution to the problem. Wish me luck on going with this new approach!
First paragraph you wrote is exactly my situation as well, except that I was always a heavy eater and high carb eater and wasn't lean and healty even when young, so I never experienced successful easy 3 day fasts. But in last few days since I was very slowly learning about keto and fasting, I always wondered why some people report that it's so easy for them and have amazing benefits, and yet everytime I try I get terrible results and is a detriment to me. Now due to this wondeful dr. Bosworth I finally have the final piece of this whole puzzle which I was importantly missing. And I have now with my last attempt been able to discover the right path myself and have proved to myself that what dr. Bosworth is saying in this video very true and very important. I was jumping unprepared and unhealthy not keto and fat adapted into prolonged fasts. Now that I have taken 3 months to gradually adapt my body to this lifestyle of eating and having extended fasting periods between my meals, I can last 48 hours between meals without loosing energy. Good luck to you with your new found explanations, new missing informations and new approach to keto diet and prolonged fasting! Hope you regain your great health as you had it when you were young! And a huge thank you to dr. Bosworth for her time, effort and great explanation of the subject!
I would like to know too I only lost 19/20 pds water fasting/detoxing/cleansing 32 days with a low thyroid. Not without a few cheat days in there too but I broke my fast sooner than I was trying for at least 40 to max of 3 months I know it sounds extreme but in history they have done it even longer than that.
I have been a nurse for most of my life and I’m hearing about how the body deals with metabolism. I have become fat and my metabolism is out of whack since I went through menopause. I have been trying to lose weight with the low fat vegan diet for 10 years and it hasn’t worked yet. I’m trying to get healthy again.
Unless I'm misunderstanding something, those graphs all show the hormone values going to zero at regular time markers, and I believe that's wrong. The lines should simply connect the measured data points, and only return to zero if that's what the hormone measurement was at that moment in time.
Me too. No preparation. No vitamins. No minerals (salts). No problems. Just water. On day 49 I didn't feel right. My electrolytes were probably low. So I broke the fast. I lost 80 pounds, but regained 20 pounds a week after eating again. I felt great. Still feel pretty good. I'm gonna do it again to lose the rest of the weight. I think I'll add a little salt to my water this time.
I think Boz needs to have a talk with Mindy Pelz and Jason Fung. I did a 40 water fast, but with supplements and some lemon juice with electrolytes. I did my body a lot of good!
@@texastexas4541 After 40 days I started to feel not great. I must have gotten low on sodium or potassium or possibly magnesium. So, I slowly started to eat again. Regained 15 pounds. Probably fluids and electrolytes and glycogen. Then I went carnivore. I'll do another long fast this year.
I’ve been carnivore for coming up on 3 years. Gradually I’ve been closing my eating window naturally. I was always hungry on waking but now I usually eat between 10am and 4pm . I can see a time when I will be able to do omad or fast but will let my body tell me when it’s ready. I’ve never invested in any meters but do love dr boz’s systematic approach and appreciation of not jumping ahead of the bodies capability 🥰 very useful video, thank you 🙏 xxx
@@Canadian_Eh_I If you go straight carnivore, I see no reason why you should ever crave sweets again. sure you can think about it and remember that it's a good thing, but you are not craving. and, if you are craving and I'm wrong about this, eat a couple of patties of butter. eat some cold steak. what your body craves is nutrition.
Thank you very much for this doc, I tried fasting and I had great experience but still left with something not "quite there" yet. This got to be the answer
Several years ago while living in China, I had caught a virus mostly effecting my swallowing....i was in bed for a whole 20 days plus without eating....only sleeping and no desire for food. I dropped about 6 inches on my belt not knowing anything about fasting or autophagy at that time. I looked great once the virus past and had tons of energy. Now....nearly 14 years later, I practice 60 hour autophagy fasts on a regular basis. January of 2020 i was over 200 pounds and currently about 135 and falling. Please also consider watching Dr's Fung, Ekberg, Dr. Becky Gillaspy as you discover the new YOU;) Boz also brings insightful info to our new world. My daughter (currently around 300 pounds) feels it is quackery as well as my X...."I must follow my doc's recommendations" My doctor watches in amazement but not willing to comment! Hurry for Keto and the power of Autophagy!
@@texastexas4541 She didn't really elaborate and you sure read a lot into what she said. fasting is hard to do. the healthiest I've been in the last two decades is when I extended my fasting. I had a bunch of 5-day fasts, a bunch of 4 day fasts and a whole bunch of 3-day fasts. If you have fasted yourself, then you understand, but if you have not, you do not know what you are talking about.
@@ianstuart5660 the closer you are to your species specific diet wich is like all primates, raw vegan, the healthier you are and the easier it get to water fast because the body and mind doesn't have as much cleaning to do.
A man from Ireland fasted for 367 days on water and vitamins, under doctor supervision. He went from 560lbs to 210lbs, and amazingly only lost 6% muscle mass
Thank you so much for making this video. It has come at the perfect time my mother, my sister and myself are all doing this together. We are at our 8th week and my sister and I both been trying to explain to my mom fully why she doesn’t want to just starve herself to loose the weight. By keeping her 20 g of carbs and her protein Around 100. Anyway, I am hoping she is able to fully absorbed this video Thanks again for all that you do💞
Anyone teaching this way of eating is ahead of the curve and helpful. My opinion on fasting is mathematical in nature. If you are overweight then you have adequate stored energy to fast, when you reach your desired weight then your body has no choice other than to eat your own muscle mass. This is not good for almost all of us. I don't include intermittent fasting in my approach, I naturally intermittent fast just because I dont eat until I'm hungry, usually 16 or 17 hours.
Very informative for me. I'm on OMAD and Fast 1-3 days every 2 weeks. Still my ketone barely rises. I'll go back and prepare some more for the 3 day fast.
Is it safe for me? The question should be is it safe for those around me? I've barely made it to 26 hour fasts. I'm hoping with time it gets easier. My food addiction is strong. I have a different outlook on drug addicts now. Major respect for those who have conquered it!
Don't feel bad for junkies, they made a choice to try drugs and THEN became addicted. Food addiction is almost impossible to avoid because YOU LITERALLY NEED FOOD TO LIVE. No one is born a dope addict, you could go 18 or 20 yrs never touching drugs and if you make a bad decision at a party, try meth and become addicted, YOU MADE THE DECISION to try meth and then your addiction starts. Dope junkies and food addicts are not the same.
Thank you a ton for this! You made this extremely informative and precisely and successfully exaplaining the difference in experience of fasting and prolonged fasting depending on the state of the body at the beginning of the fast. I watch several channels that talk and promote keto and fasting/autophagy, but none have explained this specific very important aspect of keto diet and fasting. This was the video/information I lacked, needed and wanted for years now after I first started hearing about low carb diet, fasting and autophagy. I have been experimenting a lot with all this, and only now I understand why so many people report different effect of their prolonged fasting, and only now I understand why I until now struggled with fasting, but recently I took much more gradual approach and first started getting my body to healthier level with healther diet gradually decreasing number of meals and increasing fasting times between meal. I still haven't reached full ideal state of body health and metabolis to where I can comfortably take fasts longer than 72 hours without loosing energy and feeling the need to digest food. But I am more quickly getting to that point. Currently 48 hour fasting windows between each meal doesn't represent any problem for me anymore. I am going to keep gradually trying to increase this fasting interval more and more as long as I can achieve it, for increased benefist of prolonged autophagy. Thank you a lot for this video! You are a great at explaining and providing quality information! Keep up the great work!
Every word is true. I went head first into fasting when I was insulin resistant plus OMAD. Not only did I feel AWFUL, I began having major crashes to the point I couldn’t hold my body up in a chair. My arms were limp and at one point I passed out. I had thrown my body into complete turmoil! Dehydrated and electrolytes all over the place. I backed off. Waited several months to heal. Went back to 2 meals a day. ❤️🕊️
Dr Boz, so glad you brought up insulin. I had mentioned the other day the pushback i got asking for a fasting insulin. Personally i think that should be part of any CMP. What is a good fasting insulin for insulin sensitive? I think in your slides it was 9 for the healthy ones, should that presume sensitive? Ive also read 5 somewhere. As for, "am i ready", i think so, I'll know tonight and tomorrow morning. This, all things insulin, would be a powerhouse subject for you to do a deep dive. Ive read i may be genetically prone to insulin resistance. My only fasting insulin to dat was mid teens, substantially lower than the 20s for your unhealthy group. Have a terrific Memorial Day weekend !
I took water fasting for 3 weeks max before. Lost 16kg. Of course regained most of it back. Mostly due to my lack of discipline when it comes to eating. Going for 30 days this time. And of course will make sure to reintroduce food in a cleaner and healthier and gradually back. And be very careful with it. But it is actually worth. It feels good when you get used to it and don't have cravings to eat at random time.
I have been on a 2 day fast so far. I have my MCT coffee in the morning and I drink water all day I do keep up with all my Vitamins and Minerals I keep up with my electrolytes and make sure I'm doing ok. I want to go for 1 more day and then start with bone broth and then maybe some eggs.
Years ago I did a 30 day water fast. The next time I do a long fast I will drink a LMNT pack in 32 oz water a day in addition to my regular water . If and when I feel bad and it doesn’t pass I will have some options such as a small protein zero carb zero sugar whey protein shake or butter or bone broth as a bridge to continue with the extended fast . I also like to put Himalayan granules mineral salt under my tongue as needed. I like to do what works for me to achieve my goal without hurting my health on the longer fasting . I also, like the rolling 3 day (72 hr fast ) eat and repeat for couple months .
Fantastic info! Very well presented! But…….It ends abruptly! What’s the next step for those of us like the man in the video??? Is this an ad to join a Dr. Boz class?
For a specific health reason, with added motivation due to wishing to lose weight, I experimented over the years through what was basically a process of reducing carbs, reducing volume to some extent too (eating nuts every day, which are high calorie), then eating less often, then OMAD, then even a period of one meal every 2 days (went back to OMAD though), then trying longer fasts, starting with 3 days, then up to 6 or 7, then a couple of 10 days, then 3 of 14 days (a few months between them), then one of 18 days, then 24 days. Getting used to it psychologically is a big thing, which includes not just getting used to it, but getting used to the emotions and cravings, and also developing an understanding whereby you know the science enough, and know what's happened before with you enough, to not worry about it, not think about food, etc. etc. etc. The key thing to learn was the electrolytes: to take sodium, magnesium and potassium in the correct quantities as you fast, and to know in your mind that you are not 'starving' but actually constantly feasting on that fat you can feel on your body. In better weeks I could lost about 3kg per week. It gets easier on about the 5th day. But I did suspect, and think now too that it's likely, that also my body was adjusting to it too. I got to the point where I could feel when I was in ketosis either in long fasts or in intermittent fasting and a keto or 'near keto' diet, etc. I'm 15kg less than I was when I started this process. About 5 years in total. It's true to say that without various stresses and issues I think the fat could have been lost a lot quicker and I could have kept more stable, not putting any back on, but I didn't worry about it, allowed myself to relax between fasts, didn't worry about some slow creeping up in weight (if I eat sensibly this doesn't happen, the weight seems to stay off, and there was the pandemic, etc., so a lot of inactivity). Also I hardly lost any muscle mass and in activity recently have put more muscle and even bone mass on, while adding very little fat. Basically I'm saying it works well, you adjust to it, it stays off, if you just let yourself get used to it, and understand the key issues (the last couple of fasts, when I knew exactly how much of the electrolytes to have, were very much easier, and I could go so much longer) and by perservering at it over time your body composition does change, with significantly less fat and a reasonable maintenance of muscle mass. With no stressors in your life and reasonable organisation a big improvement could happen in mere months, and also be sustainable. In the end boredom and feeling left out of meals and stuff stopped me fasting after those 2 or 3 weeks, not really that the fast was so difficult in itself.
Dr Boz is an absolute Angel! This is exactly what a Dr should be! And she seems to be a beautiful human being as well! God bless you Dr. Boz! YOU ROCK!
Fabulous presentation! Sometime could you touch on "heart rate variability". Over the last month in transitioning into keto with your advise, my HRV as measured by my Garmin watch, has climbed steadily
For what it's worth... I was on Keto for five months. I went from 170 lbs. to 139 lbs. while trying to follow the prescribed diet. My cravings and appetite naturally became suppressed. I began to eat only OMAD. I didn't feel hungry and ate because I knew I had to. 4 days prior to my trip to the ER, I noted my resting pulse became elevated. (70-75 BPM average) while my blood pressure plummeted 85/60 BP average). On the 4th day my heart started racing @ 150-160 BPM accompanied by atrial fibrilation. The ER staff attributed my issue to dehydration. In my honest opinion, drink more fluids than you need. Mix your water with electrolytes. Take multivitamins too. Keep track of your BP and HR daily with multiple readings. Pay attention to your body. I know keto works for weight loss but unless you're morbidly obese or diabetic, it might not be the best thing to do. Good luck.
im type one diabetic. my personal expierience with carnivor is increased insulin resistance, to the point where dawn effect gets out of hand and then later it becomes such a big problem that glucose levels do not come down anymore. IT DOES NOT WORK FOR EVERY ONE FOR LONG PERIODS. 59 type 1 late onset for 19 years now.
I have been with you since it was impossible to get a copy of Any Way You Can. I’ve had it with the Fasting fascination. People, get over the anal cranial inversion. Get into Ketosis and stay there 24/7. Do 0, zero, carbs and 0, zero, grams Glucose per 24 hour day. Either you are in or you are out. Ketosis is like skydiving - either you jumped, or you didn’t . Joe. 85 years old, 7 years in Ketosis, I take 0, zero, Prescription meds, lost 120 lbs over the first year and constantly weigh 158 lbs, plus or minus 2 lbs.
@@DianneElizabeth64 Sorry to take so long to reply. I am a Carnivore. I am a hard core Carnivore. Keto is something from 4 years ago for me. I have a 16ish hour fasting period every 24 hours. I don't eat veggies nor greens nor fruits. All carbs are bad as far as I am concerned. I have a KetoMojo meter. I have been in constant Ketosis for over 2 years and can prove it. My target is 0 carbs and 0 sugar all day everyday. I'm good at that target. I am about to turn 85. Over the past 4 years I have eliminated a need for any Prescriptions Medications. I take none. Keto and Carnivore? Neither are easy. If you require instant results perhaps a good Bourbon is what you seek. Weight loss is a nice side effect. Good health is the real benefit. As I have said before, Keto and Carnivore are like Sky Diving. Either you DID or you DIDNOT jump out of an airplane.
I fasted 25 days , lost 50 lbs , I’m a male 45 yrs old . It was easy and just make sure you drink your electrolytes aka salts water mixture and break your fast slow and light and easy over a few days when you do an extreme long fast as this
@lokiislowkeyhot942 Do a 90-hour fast with nothing but water and salt. Have a 3 day break, but just protein and butter and do it again. That was 4 years ago and only gained 3kg back. My extreme fast isn't recommended because it's hard to stick to it. I was 136kg and dropped to 100.1kg and had to stop because I started getting low blood pressure, I was at 18.5% body fat.
I interpret this as morbidly obesse people just have a delayed start. It is terrible advice to not bother getting healthy and fasting as it doesn't work. It only means that the liver has more stored glcyogen which needs to burn through first
My mother always battled her weight. She told me she did a long fast with her doctor in the 60s in college. She said she was always hungry and that the weight came right back after.
End of 3 day fast: Day 1 ketones 2.7 glucose 84 Boz 31 Day 2 ketones 5.2 glucose 75 Boz 14 Day 3 ketones 4.8 glucose 69 Boz 14 Im not sure if this will be a monthly thing or bimonthly. Thoughts?
I did great on carnivore and decided to implement fasting and ruined everything. This really opened my eyes. I'm gonna start from scratch and move slower this time
Also have a Question, Does Ozempic Prevent you geting into Keto? cuz of the effects it has on your pancrease? Trying Desperately to get Autophagy but using ur math system of ketones divided by Blood Glugose lvl , I need to get my ketones to 2 in order to even get close to geting autophagy, how can i get my Ketones up? or is the Ozempic shot im taking for Diabetes gonna prevent that from happening. I know i still got like 400lbs to lose, so im gonna have alot of excess skin but was hoping to minimize it with autophagy, ( have alredy lost 200ishlbs in the last 4 months adapting your methods easying my body into ketosis prolonging my fasts, now to 36 hour fasts regularly but not back to back usually adhereing to OMAD)
Slight off-topic Doc...I hit 30 on the Boz Scale! 2.7 ketones , 82 glucose just finished sup heading into 2, maybe 3, day fast. Thats with no exogenous "help"!
I have been on Keto diet basically for a good two and half months. I bought urine keto test about 3 weeks ago. About 90% of the time it reads 4.0. Only twice it read 1.5. About 4 times it read 8.0. Aside from that I lost a little over 20 lbs and now I am stuck at around 188 lbs for the last 10 days basically. Often I eat one meal a day typically around mid afternoon. Vegies, seafood, dairy. about 1200 calories. I have been walking 4-5 miles for the last week everyday. And the weight hardly ever move lower. I am 65 years old and about 5 foot 7.
Doc, I'd really appreciate some analysis of this. 48 hiurs in, Ketones 5.2, Glucose 75, Boz score at 48 hrs 14! Is there any insulin sensitivity/ resistance to be gleaned from this? I alway thought my problem was IR. Youve got one vote for a whole vid on insulin. And thanks so much, you were pivotal in me doing this. 72hr results in 24hrs.
I started fasting 62 hours ago, I measured my blood sugar level after 49 hours. It was at 4.5 mmol/l which is equal to 81mg/dl. According to the numbers in this video I follow the values of the unhealthy group. Maybe ice cream was a wrong choice for last meal before fasting :D . I usually switch to ketosis quite fast
Hey Dr Boz can you drop a link to the actual study I would like to read the full study I am trying to repair my own metabolism And based on your stage chart I am somewhere around the end of stage 2 I'm between 16-8 and omad, I find it difficult to maintain omad, I get bad cravings, and when I pass the 30 hour mark during a fast I get hungry + cravings any tips how to get through it (salt water doesn't help)
I’m not sure if your still going to respond, or even take a look. But I’m just going to say, I’m a minor, 6ft girl, 260 lbs. And, my goal is 170 lbs, for the perfect curvy look. Will 30 days effect me poorly? Or will I be fine because of my current weight? I’ve done this before for 5 days and was very happy for the results, but on the 5th day, I was dizzy, and I was taking salt and lemon in my water. Do I need to drink juices too or no? Thank you! ❤
I hate fasting....I wish there was a better way...I put MCT oil in my black coffee..I did a four day and three day water fast..I do a lot of intermittant fasting...For a few weeks I did OMAD...Right now Im doing 24 hour fast..I just hate it all LOL...My glucose is great but my keytones were only at 0.5...I dont need to lose weight but I do it because I had cancer last year..
💡Intermittent fasting is an alternative. Eating Window is 6-8hrs per day or less to eat food. Person will be fasting until the next 1st meal of the next day. Can also eat one meal per day and be fasting for 23 1/2 hrs until the next meal. Loads of Benefits from this.😎
@@KETO_DIET yes .def. low carb but I really love to have some bread once in a while lol.I just did a 36 hour fast and Im not even hungry....once I get past 24 hours it becomes easier...thank you so much
I have not been able to fat adapt despite trying for 9 months the first time and 6 months the second and I had to give up bcs of HORRIBLE and dangerous side effects. Almost no sleep and just having racing heartbeats and arythmias and so on. It got really bad... This video was very interesting! Would the Continuum plan be the right thing for a person like me to safely get me to become a fat burner?
I've been keto adapted for well over a year and still struggle with morning ketones of less than 1, and BG of 100. Is this normal or just a sign that it's time to move to 1 meal every 24 hours? I hear some say it's because I'm fat adapted so I'm burning those ketones. It's very confusing. Right now I don't eat past 3pm and still get very low ketones ( I eat very low carb, almost carnivore, no sweeteners, less than 20 carbs a day.
I've been Keto for almost 4 years. I lost 140 lbs the first year, and 250 lbs over the course of my weight loss journey. After I became fat adapted, toward the end of my first year, I had the same concern you have and so did a few others in my Neuron group. It felt like we were fighting hard for every 0.1 ketone. I have since learned - the longer you are fat adapted, the more efficiently your body produces and processes ketones, so they will likely be lower longer term than in the beginning when you are training your body how to use ketones. I was really frustrated because I felt like my ketones should be between 1.5 - 3. Now I would say, don't focus on getting the number high unless you're deliberately stressing your metabolism (fasting, hot mag bath/sauna, exercise). Ideally your ketones should be above 0.5 but even today my ketones sometimes drop below that number and I have no explanation. I probably still have a lot of glucose stored in my organ and muscle tissues and it may be that my body is releasing it in chunks every so often which raises my glucose and lowers my ketones for a few days. That's a good thing because my body is getting rid of the glucose. When this happens, I know I'll get back on track in a few days. Just need to stay the course.
@SuperDesignguy I’ve been doing Keto for 5 years. The first year I did great. Been on and off for the next 3 1/2 yrs. I’ve been doing great for the last 6 months. My last meal time varies. Mostly done by 6 pm. Two nights a week done by 4. I exercise, moderately, 4 days a week. I am 59 so age may be a factor.
That will, very likely, cause refeeding issues. There is a very good book available, "The Complete Guide To Fasting". The longest known fast was 390 day, as I recall. The gentleman went from 460lb to 185lbs.
30 days, no problem unless you're skinny. Just add electrolytes to your water. I mix my own sodium and potassium, but LMNT is very easy and mixed to the proper ratio of salts. 2 LMNTs a day keeps the fast going until you run out of body fat.
I am 35 and overweight at am around 6'2 and started at 274. I am day 4 and I am down into the 260s and I dont feel bad at all with no hunger cravings or pain what so ever so......Am I just a freak case then?
I experienced successful weight loss by doing quarterly extended fasts separated by maintenance level ketogenic eating. If I had it to do over again, I would have been eating more protein and doing weight training. PS: I felt great and lost over 100 pounds, but in retrospect, I think more of it was lean mass than I'd have wanted. I've since added back lean mass (having returned to weight training and eating a "ketovore" fare.) the most important part of this is that I'm continually healthier and feeling better than I have in over twenty years.
Body does not make difference...she is right fasting may not work for first few days in unhealthy people but deeper in fasting body has to responds... If you have will power fast in a controlled environment because again body does not make difference between healthy or unhealthy...
Dr.Paul.Bragg ,who wrote the miracles of FASTING,tells it differently. The controversy of everything, what to eat, exercise, FASTING, is so frustrating 😤.
Not for me. I LOVE fasting! And when I am eating I LOVE the food. I am never hungry during fasting. The food is tempting because I know how good it is going to taste when I'm done fasting but no hunger.
Not frustrating for me either. Just fast. It is so simple. Simply don't eat anything all day long and keep repeating that day after day. Sip some water. Add a little bit of salt to the water after a few days. After day three I feel great and keep feeling better each day. Then, when I start to feel bad I stop the fast and very gradually start eating again.
I have never seen people who were ship wrecked unhappy about being rescued. They never say I haven’t eaten in a month and never felt better. They are also getting plenty of sunshine for vitamin D.
How do I get specific questions answered. I have consumed your Keto Continuum, but have lots of questions regarding my specific situation. Please help.
hi do electrolytes in polyester shirts and underwear from the dryer get into my pores? I want to fast and somebody told me I need electrolytes and liquid ketones. keytone perfect told me real good about keytone. i want to know if i can recycle my ketones and electrolights to cut costs if i drink my pee. thank you doctor boz. ps i use homemaid chlorine dioxide when i get sick
@@hazor777 I had 1 teaspoon-once . I was fasting and praying. After two weeks I felt weak . God told me I needed salt so I put salt in my water . My blood sugar got low and God told me to have a teaspoon of honey . I did ! I went on with my fast and finished in 30 days. Your body will tell you ! And if you know Gods voice HE will ! 🙏
@@hazor777 I drank water everyday ! Then felt weak and brain fog .. I needed salt . Following week felt weak and dizzy .. needed sugar . But continue with water the whole time.
@@LB-sw2km So if you do this kind of fast , you limit the dizziness and weakness if you taking salt/water daily and tsp of honey 1x week? Would that be the better way to approach it? How did you come off the fast, food wise?
So all you said is fasting won’t work if you want to know more you have to ????? This sounds like all the other adds that promise the moon if you listen to the end and sign up. Sorry very disappointed.
@@gsadventures678 same here. Did 37 days 4 years ago to help heal a lot if autoimmune issues. Before and since I've I've fasted for 2-3 days at a time here and there and fast 36 hours once a week. Helps a lot 😊.
Yeah sorry I’m not listening to this advice. I’m on TRT. I’m going into a 30 day fast. It’s better to lose the weight fast & repair when you’re lighter in weight than to take the stupid slow approach. I’ll roll the dice, I could care less. It’s interesting that she says all this but also knows that you can give GNRH exogenously but is forcing this natural path which is a recipe for failure due to slow results. A lot of us big people are fans of fast results. I rather drop the weight then continue keto & Omad afterwards. I already am on a Keto diet and dropped 50lbs
I am going to try this 40 day fast like your doing. I need to lose weight. I may also have to go on TRT because being overweight screwed up my hormones.
Actual Information about the 30-Day fast starts at around @7:05. The rest is information about standard 72h fasting stuff. This might be one of your most misleading video titles. I didn't get a single bit of the information I would have expected. Like, what a 30-day fast does. "How fasting differs between healthy and unhealthy subjects" or something might be more appropriate.
