[@ThylakoidsRGo]

I had Lond Covid for 16 months (absolutely debilitated) did medically-supervised water fast 5 days and all symptoms resolved. Now back at work, gym, going to gigs, normal life in fact. Thank you Goldhammer

Amazing ❤❤❤

[@ThylakoidsRGo]

@frompizzaaddicttovegan thanks! Every day is a blessing that I'm living to the full!

I'm fasting at TrueNorth now - and my long covid 'phantom smells' have already disappeared. The experience is very amazing.

Fasting had made a huge impact on my life. I've just weight and body fat. But far more than that I've become able to understand my body cues and I stop eating when I'm full

I 46 years old. I fasted at TrueNorth last year for 10 days. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I’ve had an irritable urinary track for many years. After the fast, my urinary track was very calm and as long as I have a low added sugar diet, it continues to stay that way. It has made traveling easier.

Thank you, it was very informative :)

I eat mostly WFPB with occasional salty oily sugary treats on the weekend but damn Dr Goldhamer makes me want to go clean

[@TheVafa95]

Thanks for the interview, any link to the paper mentioned?

Q: Does water-only really have benefits over a more safe minimal calorie vegetable soup fast, which also includes ~500mg sodium or so as needed, and would ensure electrolytes?

[@absolootely2571]

2nd day into a 7-day fast. Is every day as hard as this or will hunger pangs & bad thoughts like tossing it in fade away in coming days?

[@josephdubonnet4956]

What about fasting and gout? Can fasting increase the risk of a gout attack. I haven't had a gout attack in years as I gave up alcohol completely, but I am wondering if I could be at risk by fasting.

[@ThylakoidsRGo]

It is possible to submit your details to True North and Goldhammer will talk to you about whether you are a good candidate for fasting. I had an experienced Naturopath to supervise me and do various blood tests to ensure good kidney and metabolic health before undertaking extended fast

[@polibm6510]

Just curious: how hard is fasting on a vegan diet?

[@YourLoveNeverFails]

He knows what he’s talking about. Trying to adjust to low fat diet, always feel hungry, never feel fully satiated 🙁

[@ThylakoidsRGo]

I found a few of days on a monodiet of oatmeal 3 meals a day really packed in the fibre and turned off my appetite (I've lost and kept off 100 pounds) then straightforward to carry on WFPB sos free eating pattern

[@veganpundit1]

💯👍🎯🥦💪

[@embemw]

Could you skip the intro music and just get right into it? It’s just a waste of time.
