I’m an orthodox Christian-eastern of Europe, and every year we are fasting. From 365 day per year, half we are fasting in different periods of time. But every Wednesday and Friday and other dates. To be honest with you, I’m feel very well in special after long periods of fasting

[@carmenross1077]

Radu fasting is in the Holy Bible Jesus Christ fasted 40 days, Moses fasted 40 days too, it is written.

Dr. I have a question for you. Can someone with Chrohn's and anemia do OMD carnivore or not? Is there anything I should know or do to do it safely? I have fatigue and neuropathy in my toes. I am trying to get rid of Chrohn through fasting but not sure about anemia. Thank you.

[@raduamariei8772]

Carmen that’s right. But just in the Orthodox Church, you will find this type of fasting, half years any type of food and half year vegan food(no milk, no eggs) just vegetables and that in small amounts. The biggest period of fast is before esters time-50 days, then we have before Christmas from 15 November until 25 December, we have fasting before celebration of St Peter and Paul, and before dormitation of Mother of God from 1 August until 15 August. So all this periods are fasting one, plus every Wednesday and Friday. The hardest one is ester one, because we can’t add oil in our food and last 6 days we eat just one time per day or at all which is black fasting-no food and no water. After this 50 days when you eat or drink meat/milk you will not find any pleasure in this food and just want to continue with the vegan one…after few days everything comes to normal

As a food addict, that is intermittent fasting since march this year, I can only confirm everything Dr Ekberg says. I feel like I've been freed from constantly thinking about food, I've never felt better.

I have been fired from my doctor for taking this approach as well as refusing to take a statin. Yes, good for me. I'm so grateful. I may have come late to the party but at least I finally found my way. Blessings, blessings, blessings.

I'm interested to know why a doctor would be upset by the fact that you're not taking medication that you obviously don't need doctors should be interested in getting and keeping you well so if your labs indicate that you don't need statins or other meds why would your doctor be upset that you refuse to take them

I'm an active and healthy senior citizen who lives in food jeopardy, I fast a couple of days a week not just for health but for a way to save on the cost of my food. Ironic how if you choose not to eat, but have food it is called "fasting". But if you want to eat & can't because you have no food, then you are "starving". Being keto & fat adapted I can fast without feeling like I'm starving and help both my health and food situation. But it is different when to eat or not is a choice.

Wonderful to see a young person learning from these Dr. Ekberg videos. I am just two years into my health journey and was clueless until then. I was eating what I thought was healthy. I ate whole grains, bread, cereal, pasta, oatmeal, yogurt and many fruits/vegetables. I had cut most meat except seafood, fish and chicken breast. I thought my autoimmune disease wasn't caused by my diet, because I believed I WAS eating healthy. My disorder became so severe with swelling and pain. I spent weeks in the hospital trying to stop my immune system from attacking my healthy cells. Then, around two years ago, I saw that autoimmune symptoms can be treated and sometimes put into remission simply by fasting. I started fasting and immediately saw dramatic effects. I was having less and less flare ups. Then, I began researching diet to ensure I kept the beneficial effects. I have not had a flare up or been in the hospital for nearly a year. I used to be sick at the very least once a month and put in hospital. I follow Dr. Ekberg's teaching and feel like a new person. It's given me back my life and my health. However, I lost many years to illness. I am 42 now and feel better than ever. I lost 48 pounds and am finally at a healthy weight. I am so glad youth are learning these important diet habits before they spend years wondering why they are sick. You will save yourself so much trouble by learning here than anywhere else and will definitely keep your health by starting so young. I wish you health and happiness.

[@trashlives93]

Been doing fasting (18/6) and low carb for almost a month now - Biggest benefit for me has been that my anxiety levels have dropped so much I feel like a competely different person, and I am talking about crippling anxiety here. It's probably not going to work for everybody, but it might for some and it's always worth a try. I also feel much better in general, have more energy, lost 6 kilograms of weight, eating and cooking doesn't feel like a chore anymore because you always cherish those 2 times you eat.

Did you have brain fog and felt unreal with the anxiety? I’m going through that now but I’ve switched my diet so I’m in the process of healing …

[@trashlives93]

@@PromyseKidLANDTV Yeah, I've had those issues. It's still not perfect, but I feel like everything is going to the right direction. I hope it works for you as well! The first two weeks were a little bit rough mentally because of the cravings and feelings of hunger. That's just the body adjusting.

[@user-no8vs9bv9s]

Exactly the same feeling. To the point where I'm almost having an identity crisis 😀 (in a good way). It's as if the 'irrationality' switch has been turned off and I can now see the wood for the trees. I just feel chill. I speak other languages and would often find that I would often forget words whilst speaking (even simple ones). Since changing my diet I'm able to recall complex words which I haven't used in years.

[@trashlives93]

I figured I'd post a update here... maybe it motivates someone! It's been 2.5 months since I started now. My weight was 85kg, now I'm down to about 77 kilograms. I've also been lifting weights for 3 months, 3 times a week - I haven't experienced any sort of weakness during sports. Looking at the mirror, I think my body and face really look different, the bloat is competely gone. If I had to guess, my carbs are around 20-50 grams every day. It always amazes me how fast you can change when you really stick to something, and honestly, it hasn't even been hard to keep myself motivated since the results are showing all the time.

Also, if I'm hungry on a particular day, I just eat. I don't make a big deal about it. At first IF may be a challenge, but it's definitely worth it!

I've been on a healthy Keto lifestyle for the past 9 months. I'm 66 years old and have never felt better! I dropped 40 lbs and am now at my optimum weight. I have instituted doing a 3 to 4 day water fast each month. And will continue because of how good I feel. I'm hoping the extended fasting will help speed up the reduction of excess skin I have. I used to be on a blood pressure med but no more! The only negatives I have are that I do feel like I did lose some muscle since going over to Keto. And, when I'm doing my 3 to 4 day fast I need to pee a lot. When not fasting, I get up twice a night to pee. During my fasts I need to get up 4 or 5 times a night. Just wondering why this happens. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for all you do. What a great teacher! I wish I knew about this 30 years ago. I learn so much from these videos.

[@drekberg]

Thank You Sal Lazuka. There are two main mechanisms that make you pee more. One is that you are using up glycogen, which binds water. The other is that when insulin drops, the kidneys have less tendency to resorb sodium and water. Use extra salt and minerals when fasting. 😄

[@margaretkinnaman8585]

Exactly. I have never been a morning person, never wanted breakfast but was forced to eat a a young person and was always sluggish and tired until the afternoon came. I'm a night owl, always have been. But since I started as an adult eating 2 meals a day I felt better. But my snacking between meals was my downfall. Since I eliminated snacking, cut carbs & sugar, I feel so much better.....even in the mornings! My snacks we're almost always sugar loaded and some other bad carbs as well, such as Twinkies, Hershey bars, sweets in general. Never was a chip fan so giving those up was a snap since I rarely ate them anyways but the sugar! Oh heavens! That was a battle for about 3 weeks..... World war lll in my brain/body for some sugar......no I'm good. And I actually eat some sugar once in a while, 1 treat only ( usually ice cream or a rate piece of candy ) and only on rate occasions, like every couple of months. Soda was a huge factor as well. I love pepsi and I actually have a small (7 1/2 oz can) every few weeks...if I let myself have an occasional Pepsi or ice cream, I'm not depriving myself and it doesn't have the " forbidden" draw for me.
