Do THIS if you HATE fasting

[@skyeyellowhorse]

We have read your books and have been practicing keto since 6/7/24 and would love to take your course(s) and wouldlove to have a monitor. We just have trouble even affording food. One of these days. Thank you for having all of this free information for people like us.

[@rebeccabrown1124]

I've been grain-free and mostly keto, and have been cycling thru different lengths of water fasts (up to 4+ days) for 10 months now. In that time, I have dealt with the sudden, accidental death of my childhood best friend, my daughter's wedding, a few heart-related health scares for my father, and the return of my son to military his base after being home on leave, twice. When you talk about the psychology of previously being comforted by food, and having to buckle down and have the discipline to prevent yourself from indulging in your favorite "comfort foods", that's no joke!! My husband is SOOO proud of my discipline, given all that I've dealt with this past year, but man IT'S HARD sometimes!!

[@aerinlynn1665]

That’s amazing! Good for you😊

[@carriesing]

@@rebeccabrown1124 It is so hard but once I push through the feelings of distress without indulging I feel so much better. We need to just keep going. It gets better as we develop new habits and ways of coping.

[@robbiesmith5169]

My first fast in 2019 was a struggle to get to 24 hours. I started with eating my last meal about 4 pm and didn’t go back into the galley - I live aboard a boat - until next morning for black coffee. From there I just kept at it, took Dr Boz class and slowly built to ability to do 72 hour fasting routinely or at least every two weeks. In between I do a 24-48 hour fast weekly. If I can do it so can you, I dropped 90 lbs and have successfully kept it ever since. No other “diet“ did that

[@anniekostka956]

Wow you give me hope

Thank you! Your success is encouraging!

[@brucejanke2011]

Hello Doctor Boz...I am 61 and watched your sardine challenge video months ago and decided it was the way to go...I found the high quality sardines in olive oil the most palatable. Went well and easily did 72hrs as I was already eating keto. Have since done a 72hr water fast about once a month since and day 2 and 3 I call my euphoria days....I just float....No joint pain... Feel amazing and easily hit 72hrs ...I add apple cider vinegar to my water hydration and cayenne pepper....love it.... List 10 kgs and feeling fantastic... Long live fasting

[@marumota9611]

Oh, thanks for the reminder of apple vinegar...

Thank you for sharing. I am listening to Dr.Boz and others here taking notes. Her putting the knowledge on line is fantastic for those can't afford the course ❤. The Dr explained gaps in my knowledge that were sabotaging me. She is correct, as a multi-year Carnivore, I was grazing. I am IR to some degree, and strongly consider I was/am on the abys of going over the precipice. Thank the Lord in our lives that guides us to what is good for us. Thanks again 👍.

[@williamberliant8145]

I've watched you for a long time, and your videos are absolutely top shelf. I have learned so much. There is one thing you do that I can't do. I cannot fast. If I fast for 24 or 36 hours, I get very sick when I start eating again. This happens every time. I've tried fasting 100 times. I've never been able to not be sick to my stomach afterwards, so I just quit doing it. It doesn't matter what I eat after the fast. It can be the softest scrambled eggs. I still get sick or throw up. Everything else but fasting is perfect.

[@TheThatgirl007]

You have to start with liquids only. I've experienced the same when I break the fast incorrectly. Start either with sauerkraut or broth, chicken or beef whatever you like. You have to reintroduce foods slowly.

[@barbberg8833]

Try just sipping bone broth, then an hour later something like yogurt…… both homemade

[@Aimercesttous]

Maybe try fasting 16 hours, 24 hours is the maximum I managed to achieve.

[@louonUT]

I am new to this yesterday/ today,, I just order a keto breath gadget on Amazon, hoping it will help me stay motivated and on track. I have lost weight ,not all at least 50 times in my life and gain it back . I notice i do better and feel better when i eat mostly meat and veg. I think this keto diet is the same so I have decided to try this because I feel it is my last chance in life. The last time i lost weight was 4 years ago. I went under two hundred pounds , I was excited and hopeful until i for what ever reason stopped and gained it all back and more. always more . I can't afford to repeat my life long behavior because this last time devasted me to my soul . I can't bare to do this again.. It has taken me four years to try and find hope and the will to try again.

[@johnsteele8382]

Sounds like my story right now. I got back on the keto train the end of July and I’m down about 33 pounds and can fast fairly well now for 24 to 48 and once to about 60 hours. I’m 65 and I’m scared that I’ll eventually go back to old habits.

[@louonUT]

@@johnsteele8382 let's not go back ,, I am telling myself " I will not go back" I am not doing well as far as losing weight goes but good news is I am not eating bad food feeling defeated lately. So that is a good thing for me. I focus on the feeling I have in my body being overweight and it is helping not to eat bad foods even though i am discouraged. .. all the best to both of us.

[@BeckyJB]

Thank you for talking about this! ❤❤❤❤ 😅 It’s been a long journey to a better waistline.

[@carriesing]

My glucose this morning was 80, ketones 4.2. No fasting. Eat to the chemistry every day, stay in nutritional ketosis every day without fasting. Quit overeating. Set up Cronometer, follow it, get your fat up to 85%-90%, protein and carbs 10-15%. Keep your cells bathed in ketones every day. Don’t settle for ketosis 2 days a week. It’s your life.

[@awesometulips9427]

Love this. How long have you been burning ketones most of the time? Context? Ty

[@suek4578]

Do you eat twice a day? And do you find you have to eat very little to do that? That’s what I had to do and I couldn’t endure it. 😂

[@jt9058]

What do you eat that you are able to stay in ketosis and still eat? Are you carnivore?

[@carriesing]

@@awesometulips9427 Consistently since last December. I was so resistant to tracking my food and measuring every day but I was so sick and nothing else was working. 4 years carnivore, tried 3 day fasts many, many times, sardine fasts, all the popular stuff. I was simply overeating protein and under eating fat. I’m 70, have had ME for decades, I’m reversing this cursed condition at long last. My morning glucose is usually in the 70s and ketones are always over 3, usually over 3.5 and over 4 is common.

[@carriesing]

@@suek4578 I eat twice a day, my aim is to have 16-20g protein each time with an added ounce of animal fat, then a couple of hours after lunch I have another ounce of fat. If I’m really struggling in the early evening I’ll have a tbsp MCT oil but that’s kinda rare.

[@johngammon963]

You look fantastic Dr. Boz 👍🏻

[@robertwood9984]

Thank you Dr. Boz. I started a water coffee fast that lasted 12 days when I felt I was in the area of diminishing returns. I started as I looked at my blood numbers though my PCP never mentioned anything. Then about day 8 I found you (when the student is ready, the teacher will appear?). Day 12 I progressed to the Sadine Fast. My interest there is your patient whose EPA wernt to 22 on her 90 Sardine Fast. I'm desiring elevated EPA to help heal/help my Vascular system especially in the capillaries. My numbers seem to be in the area you'd find acceptable for someone healing but far from where I'd like them to be. I listened on your vid where Dr. Baker's BG was in the 50's and the hospital wanted to glucose him Stat! Had to laugh. Amazed your BG can be in the 50's. Thank you that you care enough to make your knowledge available.

[@The1eviltemptress]

I had wondered if you fasted 72 hours weekly! Thank you for answering the question I hadn’t yet asked.

[@ScottRhodes-w9h]

Hey there fellow keton-iens, i think if you hate to fast its because it might be that you haven't riding the fatty way of life. Cause if you are a hardcore fat eater. Your body knows to eat its self. And there is no hunger. Been doing this for 7 years now and i fast every other day. Just because I can. Not to mention how much money I save!!!! I feel amazing glucose 51 and ketones at 1.9 lost 220 lbs. Can't wait till i can attend one of your Tuesday meetings.

[@MihaiGontineac]

hello from Romania! Last year i fasted 1 week before Easter, and in the week after i had 2 ischemic strokes! Al the cardiovascular doctors acused me for fasting and they thought they found the cause for those strokes. Nobody here do not seem to point to the root cause, the insulin resistance.

[@Leonardokite]

Okay, you convinced me. I haven't tried sardines many years, and I did an internet search for sardines that don't taste too fishy / strong. I I'm going to try the Costco sardines with no skin and no bones. It is probably closer to tuna fish. I figure if I don't like it I'm sure it would be good for my doggo.

[@johnsteele8382]

That’s what I do. They do taste like tuna to me. I experimented with the skin on sardines but I don’t like them as much.

[@mariannatodd7010]

I didn't find any ease in fasting until I started eating enough food. Just did my first 36 hour fast last week.

[@justme-ko9pe]

excellent. Also, so much of how/when we eat is based on our conditioning/emotions and deeper issues. That’s truly where the challenges to fasting reside.

[@hilke3071]

I remembered that i use to do magic mushrooms when i was about 20 years old...i'm 47 now, female...and at that time i heard that the psilocybine would work much better when fasted. So at 20 i regurly fasted to make sure i had i good trip😊 magic mushrooms don't go together with food and especially sugars and make me less hungry. So i started doing that again and i microdosed. And the psilocybine puts you into your feelings and out of your thinking. First i ate lowcarb for a month, then started intermittent fasting, then started omad and carnivore with ferments and then introduced the mushrooms...like the shamans used to do: fasting first and then the plant medicine...always take the plant medicine fasted. To me it's a very nice and extra spiritual way to fast and to make fasting fun. Sometimes i really long to go into a longer fast with some psilocybine at the end because i love the way it makes me feel: younger, more elastic, more connected and sparkling❤

[@jennifermathews4259]

Heavy Protein and fat 17:44 in the evening causes blood sugar rise during the night and then will start to decrease about 5 am. Lessen your protien and fat for 30 days and see if that helps. Use more protein and fat during the day to get at least 100 grams of protein and fat.

[@sebstream8440]

When are medical schools going to let keto courses be taught? If Dr Boz could teach the next gen of docs, Americans would be the healthiest nation.

Hi. Vicki Hunt from grandkids in Nashville

[@gloriahouseman2987]

Read Any Way You Can and watched videos for 4 years. I have learned so much! Tonight's video was just great!! BUT - I never hear anything in context to INJECTED INSULIN. I am still injecting insulin. My doctor has reduced it quite a bit since I began the low carb diet (20gm or less/day). I'm hugely insuline resistant, I stop eating at 4 or 5 pm and at 7 the next morning, my glucose is STILL CLIMBING. I have a Dexcom. I'm overweight for many years. Am I supposed to wait until I'm not injecting ANY INSULIN before I worry about making & burning ketones? It sounds to me like this whole thing is not for folks who are injecting insulin...

[@GingerPeacenik]

What if we're trying to build muscle and spending an hour weight training most days? I'm eating mostly carnivore, but since I don't enjoy eating meat at all, get tired of eating lots of eggs and cheese, I don't eat much at a time. The boney and gaunt at 59 isn't pretty (lost all my desirable curves recently as well. Ugh). If I didn't still have excess skin from weight loss the thinness would be more pronounced. Muscle seems difficult to build in a fasted state if one is already thin. 10:56

This is a really good video. But I didn't hear some explanations that I needed. First, what are the rules you talk about? Are they to follow the continuum and succeed at each stage before moving onto the next? Second, during the slide that lists mitochondria, fat adapted and psychology...are you saying that if your mitochondria are not healthy then your fast won't work properly? And you have to be fat adapted too? And what about psychology? I get that social influences impact us, but it's unclear to me what you suggest we do about it. And last, when you answered the first person's question about which type of fast do you do or prefer? I don't know what your answer was, and I'd like to know. Because it kinda seems like you're saying alternate day fasting, and yet you're doing 60-72 hr fasts. So regarding the title "do this if you hate fasting", besides following the continuum properly, are you saying that a sardine fast is recommended a few times before a water fast? Thank you. 🙂 PS: I took the first class, and look forward to doing the new 2.0 version!

If you’re doing a prolonged water fast, trying to do 10 days. If you feel weaker and weaker by day 4 or 5, what is going on? Shouldn’t it switch to ketosis and you have more energy?
