48 Hour Fasting Challenge! Instructions and Benefits

Likewise. I'm starting my second 48 hour fast tomorrow. The last time I did it was 4 months ago. I found it very difficult. I managed 42 hours. But yes, I agree, it was killer 😂

[@EMVera-eh5nm]

@@danielaevans9331 Personally, I think; the key is to not wait until you’re hungry. Start your fast around 6P rather than in the morning. Got to bed, wake up, you’re done with the first 12 hours or so, water, and whatever else is acceptable during the fast thru out the day (keep the stomach “full”) i too had quit at about 44 hrs or so.. I did it as explained above last week, and it worked. I could’ve kept going, I wasn’t hungry at all, but I decided not to.

[@TessMArt]

i do one 48 hrs every two weeks. The other days a do OMAD. I'm on a Keto diet. I am 82 years old and feel like a teen. No more medicines, no more high cholesterol, no more AFib, right weight. I am on top of the world and the one looking after people much younger them me.

[@LASoundCrafter]

As a type 2 diabetic, I’m finding the 72 hour fast is more beneficial than 48. The 48 was not affecting my glucose levels as much, the 72 is dramatic. I’m doing it weekly with doctors ok. I still walk 6 miles a day and lift some weights. Day two is the hardest day three is the easiest.

[@yohughson1385]

Dennis, do you do 72 hours one time a week how many times a month ?

[@LASoundCrafter]

E. Yoly Hughson So far every week (completed one month so far). My doctor is a firm believer in Dr. Jason Fung’s work in regards to intermittent fasting and long term fasting. He recommended The Diabetes Code. The every week is an experiment to see how far we can reverse the condition, so far my A1c has dropped from 8.1 to 6.5. When I do eat, aim for a limit of 35 gms of carbs per day. Fung convincingly says “diabetes IS reversible.”

[@yohughson1385]

Dennis Considine, thank you. I am going to do it this month.

[@pascaledevalet5621]

Dennis Considine hi just got my A1c it’s near to 7. I was talking metformin now my dr put on another medicine I’m not happy. Please can you give me some tips pls Thank you.

[@LASoundCrafter]

Pascale Devalet I’m not a doctor, so I’m hesitant to give advice. Everybody is different, so what works for me may not for you. But one thing that I recently discovered was raw apple cider vinegar. Four tablespoons mixed with water, sipped at night dramatically affected my fasted morning glucose readings. I found, adding one packet of stevia with the mix, greatly reduced the blunt ugly taste of the vinegar and made it palatable. I was surprised at the result.

[@oneroyalpriest8784]

I'm 65 years old, weight 239 lbs, and eat OMAD most every day, but had never done a 48 hr Fast. I did it, and I was never hungry, but I ate at 6p on the starting day, then 6p on the ending day. I had even energy and a clearer mind. It was pretty amazing. I lost 3 lbs, but figured I'd gain it back, however, I gained 1 lb the next day, but was back down the next day, so I actually lost 3 lbs. That's not so important as the other benefits.

[@ivantalafuk4505]

Yesterday I have completed 14-day long water fast. I have been drinking only water and 1-2 cups of black coffee every day, been taking a 2 hour walks, 15 min full bodyweight workouts, and been working for 8 hours 5-6 days per week. In same period I lost around 12 kg (24 lbs). Now I reintroduced food today, feel much stable now that I have reseted my gut, and from now on will keep doing 18:6 IF every day and 24 h water fast one day per week.

[@wunii697]

I'm doing 16-8 Monday through Thursday and 48 hour from Saturday 8am to Monday 8am. Combined with martial arts and weightlifting. It's working wonders. I find that my stomach isn't sensitive when I have my first meal adter the 48 and believe it's because my stomach is used to 16:8. Great info!

[@diannerussell4849]

I find when doing a 24-48 fast that it's a good idea to do a people fast as well. I contacted my mother while under going my 48 hour fast, it was a big mistake, my adrenaline sky rocketed I had my father bitching about rot on the first day of my fast as well. I started free falling for a bit but came out of it by night fall and didn't brake the fast. I must have great resilience to be able to get through that. So my strategy is to people fast whilst abstaining from food. I think we all need a brake from toxic people from time to time in fact I my do a complete reset and give certain people and toxic places the boot for good, sugar is another thing that can go as well. Time for a huge reset.💪

[@Margie717]

How did your fast go

[@0_Danilo]

I did 48 for the first time last week after 2 months of doing 16/8 and some 20/04 with the occasional OMAD. The major problem was the headache, that wasn't too intense, but I definitely felt it when going to sleep on the first day and then in the morning the next day. In the afternoon of the second day I was energetic and ready to push it to 72 with no problem at all (which I didn't). It wasn't very easy, but it definitely wasn't very hard either. I came out of it saying that this is for like, once every 6 months or something, but now I'm thinking, meh, I could do it again...

[@0_Danilo]

@@akosreke8963 Still doing fasting, lately I had breakfast a few times just to try some muscle building theories, but I'm sticking with like 17/8 for the majority of days.

Tried your 20 hrs fast. On the 18th hour, we both have very bitter taste in our mouth. Why, and how to stop it. Would taking med break our fast?

[@900QP]

Fasting can help you achieve a state of ketosis. This state is caused by elevated ketone levels. The taste in your mouth is Acetone which is a ketone that leaves the body via your breath and urine. Ketosis happens when fat is broken down to produce energy, which also produces ketones with is a type of acid. Keto breath doesn’t last forever as your body adjusts to the lower carbohydrate intake. Make sure you are hydrating with water, black coffee and tea during your fast, unless of course you are dry fasting.

[@MystiqueRoz]

48hrs fast should be ok. Just try not to lose to much weight too fast to prevent loose skin. I do a 48hrs fast once a month while doing low carb OMAD most days. Still have a long was to go but I’ve lost about 18lbs so far since beginning of July.

@panchow I had the same concerns also, so now I’m learning to accept that it’s better to lose weight slowly. The first month you tend to lose the most weight which is normal. Most recommend 1-2lbs weight loss per week. I lost 9lbs in July, 6lbs in August, and about 4-5lbs this month. I started with my max weight in June at 204lbs. You might end up losing more weight also since you’re a male. For some reason it’s easier for males to lose weight.

Morning, doing 16/8 Monday to Friday, weights 5 days a week, run 25KM a week, once a month i do a 48hr fast. 3 Years ago, i was on benzo with not light in the tunnel. Fasting is a great way of taking control, makes it easier. My kids pretty much stop eating and only have fruits once i stop eating at 1800. Good stuff

[@gauravkohli3736]

Don’t do more than 48 or it affects your kidneys

[@VoIPPortland]

48s are fantastic!! When I see the 'trend' going up on my morning scale I know it is SO EASY to adjust. Drop a 48 and everything is all better. Plus I amp up the weight workouts and have super energy - just the opposite of what I would have ever expected.

[@cherryl225]

48s are overeating erasers. i will forever swear by them, excellent maintenance fasts.

[@annaboivin9209]

I have only been on IF for one month (FEB) and lost 11kg. I do one 48 hr fast from 4pm thurs to 4pm sat every week. I am offically on a 18:6 routine the other days but have not been hungry and often end up OMAD most days. Thanks for all the information.

[@astroboy314]

Literally JUST finished my first ever 36 hr fast (had bone broth an hour ago)... should have kept going!

[@michaelhanes8214]

Starting the fast tomorrow April 20th!? 🤔 Thomas, what demensional time zone are you in because it's September 29th here? 😆

[@KarbisSarafyan]

1 hour left for me! 48 hours done. Was debating if I should do 72 hours.

[@jamesriendeau128]

Great lesson for the 48. I'm ready & grateful!

[@jeanetteElizabeth61]

Ha Ha completed at 8:34 pm Oct 1 2020 so happy and proud first extended fast, not going to lie at about 4:30 pm got hangry kept myself busy and used pink salt to overcome hunger waves. Broke my fast with a 4oz Roasted chicken breast no skin or bones and about 3oz of chia pudding. Huge bonus loss of 6lbs Holy moly this is amazing....used Fasting with zero great app.

[@LizandSkatz]

↖️ We love prolonged fasting! Done a few already (see our channel for the warts and all videos!!) We're planning our next one which will be once I reach day 1 of my cycle and it'll be at least 96 hours!

[@orangetigerlilylane1111]

Wanted to fast 72 hours but started to "crash" feeling dizzy, seeing spots at the 65 hr mark. I broke my fast with 4 whole eggs cooked in butter and coconut oil.

[@mustacheeyelash9633]

32h in, 16h to go but now its sleeping time.

[@mnakhleh33]

how often can I do a 48-hour fasting?

[@jdswenson]

every 2 days

[@bethcollins7865]

My first 48 hour fast finishes tonight at 646pm ive lost 2lbs but its my first long fast

[@pleal1]

Weird! Today it was on my mind to do a 48 hr fast and I figured I refresh on some of your videos. I’m in!! Thank You Thomas!

[@jackrandom4893]

Been fasting for two weeks and down 8 lbs. This is great info. However, watching this guy, I can't imagine he could do a 48 hour fast. The guy is already at a low body fat percentage and doesn't look he had any reserves. Lol

[@rafaelhammond6852]

I’m already at 44 hrs so far using the zero app lol. Going for 72 hrs! Let’s do this plus more!

[@seangreen8262]

What's the best way to break the fast for vegans, please?

[@megamanrulesall]

Just wanted to say thanks for this video. It would appear that while I was doing well in consistently fasting intermittently, I have been eating not so well things like carby stuff. At least now, with this, I can try a few new things to see if it helps me even more. 😁 In the past like 2-3 weeks or so, I think I am down about 10lbs. At least now, I may be able to push it a bit more or see better results. Thanks again for the info & all the info you share with everyone. 😁👍

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

Intermittent fasting benefits 👍 Weight and body fat loss. Increased fat burning. Lowered blood insulin and sugar levels. Possibly reversal of type 2 diabetes. Possibly improved mental clarity and concentration. Possibly increased energy. Possibly increased growth hormone, at least in the short term.

[@adamcohen6719]

How much blow did this man do before making this vid??? He’s putting out like 5000 words per minute at least. Srsly tho. 48h fasts changed my life.

[@ruthnassa1]

Hi, I'm doing my first ever DRY 48h fast. I'm actually at hour 49, and as it's 8pm in the evening, I'm going to go to bed and actively break my fast in the morning. It was not as bad as i thought, but I'm really weak & tired now. With all these people saying "I feel great, and have mental clarity and energy", is my tiredness normal???

[@oneroyalpriest8784]

Same thing happening to me. I'm confused by all the people saying they have so much energy lol

[@minasokhangoo7120]

No water is the reason

[@coconuthead8484]

Fat people feel fasting effects differently

[@i-am-ali1672]

Thomas, how many times do you recommend someone to do a 48-hour fast? Once per month?

[@YouWhatMate_Official]

Just coming off my 48hr fast now, it's been challenging but I feel amazing that I resisted that urge to eat. The hardest part was the nights before bed, but if I kept myself busy, I go straight to bed. Keeping busy is the key, if your mind is off the hunger, you're less likely to think about food or anything. I'll definitely do this again

[@abulzawabe3]

Prior to watching this video, I planned on doing a 36 hour fast. Now I'm considering going for the 48 hour one. Thank you :-)

[@Petteriks]

Last time I did 24h I got migraine.. is there anything I can do to prevent that ftom coming?

[@viviantd79]

I recommend taking some salt like Redmond real salt

[@beverleycumming1876]

Funny thing…hardest hours are 24 to 36…I always plan to go to sleep during those hours…wake up with no issues to get 48

[@charularora9801]

Let’s do this 💪

[@JC-pm5sh]

Thomas, you've been discussing losing weight for the last 2 years. how about gaining some Healthy weight? I've lost too much weight and I need to gain some weight. Any tips?

[@MystiqueRoz]

How did you lose too much weight?

[@JC-pm5sh]

@@MystiqueRoz I don't know. But I Was 176 pounds, and now am 145 pounds.... I can't lose more weight from here.

[@MsHeatofthemoment]

It is still ok to do, say 40-42 hour fast? I have social event can’t skip the meal... ☺️
