7 weeks fasting from 24 hours to 36 to 42 hours. Mixing it up all week. Lost about 16 lbs. and A1c went from 6.1 pre diabetic to 5.2 normal. FastingGlucose from 109 to 69. And fatty liver gone.

I’m 40 and I have been having blood sugar issues and brain fog for 2 decades. Started following Dr. Mindy a month ago now, started fasting the next day, and my brain is actually working. And I’m eating foods that balance my blood sugars, it actually works, I thought I was doomed. I’m opening a yoga studio currently (hot yoga heated with infrared panels on the ceiling, so happy you mentioned saunas in today’s video!), and I am able to have such a clearer head when going into meetings etc. I’m so thankful to her and to God! 🙏🏻🙌🏻

For some reason I thought we were doing a 3 day fast. I am at 50h30min and feeling well so I am going to continue on to 72hours. Day 1 I tried a soft dry fast for the very first time. I ran into some difficulty with a caffeine headache but took a nap and that really helped. Today I woke up with no stiffness in my legs and only a little achy in my thumbs but no stiffness. Also I had no brain fog - I feel great! Good luck to you all!❤

I have been doing ADF(36 hours) for 60 days now. Somewhere in between, I started having chest pain, sometimes left and sometimes right. I never had any issues like this before. So I'm pretty sure it's either a supplement issue or because of what I'm eating during eating days. Please guide how can I stop this issue and if it's common? Many doctors here don't advice fasting, so they won't be of much help unless it's a serious issue.

With Autophagy, I see no results at only 48 hours. I need to just drink water for 5 days straight. Lucky you that it works for only 2 days. I also am too fatigued to get exercise. I can't afford a sauna.unfortunately.

[@alexpolidori6566]

Dr Mindy, you suggest 20g protein after a 17hour/ autophagy fast, is this to start with/ minimum protein as it seems like this isn’t enough protein to eat within 24 hrs especially if I’m doing a 17 hour fast most days? I try to fit in my 60g protein after going without food for 17 hours or so? X

[@DrMindyPelz]

If your goal is autophagy and you are looking to extend the benefits of autophagy you must keep your protein under 20 grams that day as protein breaks autophagy. If that is not your goal then you do not have to limit protein, use a different variation of macros. 💙 Dr Mindy's Team

[@alexpolidori6566]

Thank you. I think I’m missing something because if most days I am fasting for 17 hours or so and only eating 20g of protein most days then I will become malnourished? X

[@DrMindyPelz]

You wouldn't do this every day, only if your goal was autophagy. You can still fast 17 hours and eat for a different goal other than autophagy. It's your choice what macros you will set for yourself and how you will fast. 💙 Dr Mindy's Team

Nonetheless, each one also has unique ways to improve our health. Since the proven health benefits are quite similar for both, the choice can simply come down to preference.
