I found out about intermittent fasting in 2017. I did it to feel better not to lose weight although I lost about 10 pounds. I am 6’2” 177 pounds. I am a concrete pump owner operator and it is amazing how much energy I have at work. I finished eating between six and 8:00 PM and I don’t eat the next day until after 12 o’clock, sometimes 2 3 or 4 o’clock even. I have turned on numerous coworkers and friends. Some have a tougher time doing it but they are all benefiting from it and thanking me for the free information on how to not be tethered to food… It is liberating! It is in my opinion… The holy grail.

[@geno5169]

I too started fasting in my 40’s while doing keto! I was down to 160! Then I been gaining weight again! I’m up to. 190! I started fasting again between 18 to 24 hr! I’m trying to to get lean and lose my weight! My first meal is usually around 5!

You guys have summed up what has taken me years to realize. I’ve been IF for 6 years. While my physical health has drastically improved, my mental health is at a whole other level. It is like taking “the red pill”. You feel/see things that you can not believe. I still can’t believe what our culture has done to us.

IF is mental discipline which fuels the physical discipline which fuels building muscle !!

[@julian-fricker]

I've been using IF on and off for years but I gained a lot of weight last year after a hernia operation. I've been doing strict 16:8 and since July I've lost 27 pounds. For the 1st time I didn't just use cardio to lose weight, I've been lifting weights and I've been able to retain or maybe even put on some muscle while losing fat. Right now I have 3 meals a day, lunch is my own muesli made with oats, cornflakes and dried fruit, 4 o'clock is a protein shake, casein and whey, bananas and oats and then around 7-8 I eat a normal meal with my family. One big thing I love about IF is you learn to control your hunger, instead of it being the other way around. I'm hitting 50 in November and trying to be in the best shape of my life.

[@spartancrown]

You’ll get there. I just turned 52 a few weeks back. Keep at it. I sat at a 18/6 or a 20/4 and that worked well for me. I found a 16/8 made me want to eat more than I should at that time.

[@Princeton_James]

I agree 100% - if anyone can modify their relationship with food then this is a really good place to start. I have found that IF allows me to not only have a start and end time to eat, but i am also way more conscious of what I'm eating.

[@felixcarrasco5964]

Yea man I agree with that I have noticed this last year and a half

[@LenaTheSage]

Fasting is a tool - not only does it build appetite- you drop sugar levels - you reset the body and increase the growth hormone not to mention you body goes through a process which it clears out poor cells. Also I would also note that this isn’t something that one should try with our gradual practice. Most already eat in windows - it is more of a mental and physical reset. If you are spiritual you know the other benefits 😉

[@nomaderic]

Everytime I go on a cut I do rolling 48 hr fasting until I hit my goal. It's so easy because I don't have to count shit, when I do eat I eat until I get stuffed, and after the first couple weeks you don't even get hungry until it's almost time to break the fast. After the cut is done and I go into a large surplus again I absolutely start to explode. The best I feel ever is like the first month of a bulk

[@naaamo2004]

How often do you fast for 48 hours per week/month?

@@naaamo2004 I only do when it's time to cut. When I do it usually last about 2 months, maybe 10 weeks or so. I do rolling 48s the whole time. So I eat once every two days (my window is like 4 to 5 hours). Lose on average a pound every 2 days

[@KnuckleHead1983]

I’ve been doing 24 hr fast pretty much every day and I feel it’s also contributed to my 32 lb weight loss and never thought about doing it until watching mind pump

[@CRiles694]

Love the content. I've done 72 hour fasts multiple times throughout the last year and felt like I definitely had benefits from it mentally and physically, but the refeed day always seemed to be a bit too much for me, was a pretty big struggle to not over indulge afterwards for me, even eating clean foods. I just couldn't get enough of whatever I was eating. I think a couple throughout the year are definitely worth the learning experience alone though. Definitely didn't think I'd ever have that in me when I was a bit younger and unhealthy.

[@chadstevens641]

The way I handle this is through meal preparation. I put each meal from breakfast through dinner in Tupperware or on plates and cover with foil. It’s only detrimental on the first day of refeeding.

[@woundedtesticle]

I totally agree to the benefits you talk about. Done a few 72's myself. As far as refeeding, I've found a carnivor type diet works perfect before and after a fast. I'll eat a giant ribeye shortly after I break the fast with a tiny meal like 1-2 eggs. You shouldnt have any cravings after a 1+ lb steak.

[@nomaderic]

What stopped me is to stop trying to have "the perfect" refeed. Through many trails ive realized the best thing for me is to just eat what I want. I get some good protein in, some fruit and maybe some fiber then the rest I eat what I want. So if I'm fasting and I crave something like junk food I wait until my fast and eat it. You're already limiting when you eat you don't really have to limit WHAT you eat. Make your meal 100 percent enjoyable. Eat what you would WANT to eat.

Why break a fast at dinner time? Just go another 3-4 hours and then get the bonus 8 hours sleep. This goes for 24, 48, 72 hours. Plus most people will probably overeat at dinner time.

[@ChampionOfCinder]

Cause it's a good time to break it whether you've been fasting for 18h or 3 or 4 days. The reason being you might not want to start digesting sugars and get back into the sugar roller coaster while you still have a day of work to do or just want to keep your mind sharp.

[@sc4332]

Most people don't actually fast as long as they think any way. They count sleeping hours like awake hours which are not equal. 8 Hrs of sleep is like 4 awake hours. They also fail to realize that your fast doesn't really begin until 3-4 hours after you've last eaten.

Great episode gentleman. Simply put, most of the modern world is so behind in their knowledge of fasting and how it's proper implementation is a game-changer for potentially any and everyone. For me personally, I've used intermittent fasting since 2018 to go from a 250 lb bulked-up meathead to a 215 lb ultra-runner....all while being 100% natty and doing 90%+ of my training and running totally fasted. People see me in the gym lifting and mistake me for a bodybuilder, then almost freak out when I tell them I'm a long-distance runner. Also, I'm about to 36 this year and have NEVER been in this kind of shape ever......and fasting IS the key. #ItsLikeSteroidsButNotCheating #AlsoTotallyHealthy

I used to starve and binge because I was fat my whole life and hated food, only got fatter. I couldn't stop so I gave it structure. 16-4 with high protien, high carb low fat. Had a six pack 10 months later. You have to lift though or body won't waste energy maintaining lean mass.

Yes, very lethargic at times.fasting is not enjoyable at all.There are ways to make it better but its a mental toughness test for me.Dizzy, weak, poor sleep, racing heartbeat. Even with all that, I've fasted dozens of times and I would still recommend it, to people who can handle it. Didn't lose any strength or muscle as far as I could tell, in fact after getting leaner I looked noticeably bigger.

Fasting allows our bodies to produce more stem cells than regular eating schedules. Some of those stem cells turn into satellite cells which fill in the micro tears in our muscles from working out hence increase in muscle mass.

[@Fleed907]

I tried fasting during the day and during the night. I found fasting in the day was difficult in the first 3 days then it was ok later on. I would wake up early around 6am and get my coffee and heavy breakfast then I don’t eat anything till lets say 7pm when I feast on a decent meal. During they day I would drink water only. I found that when I have my eating window in the morning, I keep craving unnecessary foods like chips or sweets, and also lost focus at work. I found I started eating less at night, portions became smaller and my sugar craving became less. The whole point is don’t think that “This is my eating time I should binge!” Otherwise you will definitely gain weight and mostly will be fat.

I've still yet to go 24 hours without eating/drinking any calories. No clue why I have this mental block as I've been Intermittent Fasting for a few months now, and day 1 was a 23:1, which I found a bit much and switched to 21:3 for the entire first month before then adjusting again to a more flexible 23:1, 21:3, 18:6, 16:8, 23:1, 12:12, 12:12. I also give myself a day _free_ for social or business events where it would look odd if I didn't eat, and the 12:12's on the weekends may end up being 18:6's if I know I am going to an event where I am going to consume a decent amount of calories, though I have only exceeded my daily caloric _allowance_ (I am trying to lose weight atm as I just got far to complacent and sedentary during the lockdowns. I was a bit ashamed for a while, but that obviously doesn't do any good to anyone. In addition, what is more shameful being lackadaisical and gaining weight, or being lackadaisical about it and not taking care of it?). Anyway, if I start to stall in my weight loss, or if my lifts/workouts start to go down in either performance or intensity over an extended period of time then I will certainly adjust something, and a prolonged fast seems like it would be more productive to introduce as a tool than going off restriction in general as even when I get to my target weight and body fat percentage, I still plan on keeping track of my calories and macros. Idk, I kinda like it. Hopefully by then (I assume within 3 months give or take) I will be able to just go with the way my body feels after eating/not eating again though, and the tracking won't need to be as thorough or via an ap. Of course if I wasn't restricting 750-1500 calories/day I probably wouldn't need to track my macros to begin with. Lol, we'll see when the time comes. I do plan to keep fasting regardless as I do like the way I feel a bit more than when I at 2-5 times per day, and far better than when I was eating...gheesh, it seems like constantly during the mini-lockdowns as working from home I continuously found my work finished in a few hours as opposed to the office where I could always find more work to do, someone to help, or I could just disappear to the gym for a couple of hours. At home it's just, well when I am done I'm done, and that kitchen was sooooo close. I definitely felt like ass and didn't even realize it. I was always tired too. I would take naps because I would have a hard time sleeping more than 3 or 4 hours at night, but that in turn led to 2, 3, sometimes 5! hour naps, which in turn made sleeping at night more difficult, then when I would wake up I was famished. It is a bit ludicrous now that I look back at it. I think I went a year without having salad or *ANY* leafy green vegetables. And I really like salad. Not a little bit, I mean I really like it. You know those people who go to Olive Garden and fill up on Breadsticks? I'm the one who would eat two large bowls of salad then barely touch whatever appetizer and entre I ordered. And yes, you can still call Olive Garden's main dishes entres even if most are frozen. If they added cucumbers to their salad, oh my goodness. Great, I'm barely 10 hours into today's fast and now I am craving salad. Thanks guys, big help ;^) .

My maintenance is around 3000, so was thinking of doing 2500 5 days and 1400 on 2 non-consecutive days (Friday/Sunday as I don't train on those days and generally just go for a walk). Would this be okay? I know generally the 5:2 is either extremely low to no calories in the 2 days, but I'm thinking of keeping it at 1300 - 1400 to get my daily amount of protein and some fat/carbs. I'd still be looking to stay in a 12 hour fast, but that's how I've been eating anyway. Would this be okay?

Do we just drink water when you fast more than 48 hours?

[@jaimegutierrez5520]

I saw this already

[@adrianagolisano7871]

How long you should fast?

[@halman0111]

After doing a 2-3 day fast, should I eat the amount of calories that I didn’t eat throughout that periods, on the 4-5 days after that, or should I keep my eating the same as I would on those next 4-5 days?

[@morunsforfun6285]

Just eat like you normally do. Also your stomach will shrink. You won’t be able to eat too much at one sitting.

[@jirihutecka9020]

Don't make the mistake to start first meal with carbs. You will be very insulin sensitive so you end up overeating like crazy. Boil chicken with vegetables. Drink the broth first and after like one or two hours eat the meat with veggies..

[@2dgalaxy]

so should you not drink water either during a fast like this? or supplements or anything

[@MsTumz473]

Dry fasts are extremely hard to do. Rather stick to drinking water and black coffee or tea

[@captainguns9761]

If I have milk in my coffee is that breaking a fast or can I get away with that?

Yes that is breaking your fast.

Are these guys talking about not eating anything at all for a day or two? Just water?

[@MsTumz473]

Yes, it seems the conversation is more related to extended water fasts for a period of 24 to 72 hours

[@jamessullivan4612]

Suggestions on how to fast if I'm a type one diabetic? Do I just cut the amount of calories to a cut?

[@ShadrachTheThird]

Start with intermittent fasting and work up to at least a 48 hr fast every so often .

[@ShadrachTheThird]

When you do eat , limit what has added sugars in it.

[@RPDthe3rd]

I personally can’t fast while I’m on a training schedule. 1. It’s hard to get 150-200g of protein when fasting. 2. my workouts NEED carbs to fuel it or I feel like I’m wasting my time. 3. The resistance training drains me too much and if I’m faster I just can’t perform the same inside and out of the gym

[@ClassicJukeboxBand]

Intermittent fasting is certainly good for your body, but long term fasting is not if you are trying to build muscle. Don't listen to anybody who tells you to fast for days. Especially bodybuilders need to keep their protein high if they are lifting. Fasting for days reduces protein, and this is a fact.

[@valitsemllaluokanavahyvaks3556]

Eating the same amount of protein in a shorter span of time doesnt reduce it :D. Im talking about 18/6 IF for example.

[@a.joseph4233]

Start my workout[ swim] at 4:00 a.m. then on to weight training....done by 6:00 a.m. then have to eat....window would end at 2:00 p.m. ..not realistic

Do you have to eat right away?

Look cool I see all the comments here explain how they did fasting in your lost a bunch of weight of course you lost weight, but is there anyone here who shredded who water fast because if you’re not shredded a new water fasting, you’re just a typical average person who happen to get healthy by water fasting, which means your average and I don’t want to listen to average Data

[@gvalley8]

Do you fast with water or snake juice?

[@coltburks5450]

You need salt and potassium. By day 2 or 3 you're peeing often and your stored minerals are gone.

[@jameshorton5395]

It doesn't matter or dry fast. Snake juice seems to keep the hunger pangs away for me.

[@Pbuilder]

I can't fast. I get migraines

[@balladofthebroken7569]

With my rapid metabolism, if I fasted I would lose so many gains. Plus, I do not want to have to cram that much food within such a small window.

[@daegrun]

Yeah. A skinny little dude wouldn’t benefit as much.

[@Jesustillidie]

Idk if you would fast from drugs...it would just be best to be done with it entirely lol but I get the point

[@williamseifert169]

Duh.

[@timtill1791]

Would have been helpful to actually explain how to fast.

[@DC-wo2yb]

Over eating all the time and relying on an extreme method to get the fat off is a childish approach if you ask me. How hard is it to control your eating throughout the day. Do you tell yourself you’re going to eat one cookie and the next thing you know you’ve eaten the whole box and 2 bowls of ice cream? Just take a whole bunch of steroids while you’re at it, why wait when you’re trying to get abs yesterday. I thought tracking macros was a social issue. Instead of politely eating someone’s homemade cupcake and accommodating for it in the macros later, you’re just gonna tell them you can’t eat at all until later tonight, tomorrow, next week? Lol, this is obsessive asf, and good luck with the protein synthesis that you’re sabotaging.

[@MagpieMcGraw]

When you have metabolic disease such as fatty liver or or t2d, it's way easier to eat nothing than to eat 1 cookie. I get no satiation from my foods at all. I have constant cravings, especially for sugar or carbs. Fasting for a day(40 hours) is pretty much the only thing that makes the cravings go away. Nobody would fast if going on a diet was easier.

[@ClassicJukeboxBand]

This video is nothing but nonsense. The last thing you want to do if you want to build muscle is to rob your body of protein for a couple of days...long term fasting reduces muscle, it does help you build muscle, true fact.

[@ronnieking3848]

You forget that we, as hunter gatherers did not eat everyday. Fasting for 1 or 2 days was normal.

[@MrTraveller.]

Eat clean builds muscle and burns fat, fasting eats muscle.

It’s a progression - I do it a few times a year- all water fasts from 72 hrs to 5 days 😅

[@dondadanyc718]

Lmao well god bless you both because I’ll die 🤣🤣

[@ronnieking3848]

Lol, the point is, if you keep your electrolytes levels up, you won't die. But you do need water...you can only go three days without water because most people are dehydrated.

[@elles.6768]

I do a 72hr water fast every 3months. A 36hr water fast weekly. Other times 16:8 or 18:6 intermittent fasting. There's a Facebook group with people that do more extreme water fasting.
