Fasting saves: MONEY, TIME, ENVIRONMENT AND ON HEALTH BILLS + gets you more energized and you do enjoy food more WHEN you eat.

[@mirzamanmirzaman1482]

This doctor told the key word for achieving good health ( eat less). This is 100% true from my view point because I cut down only one meal ( lunch) from my diet and avoided the sugary drinks, the results are amazing. Beside loosing 50 lbs, my pre diabetes and high blood pressure are reversed. I have never seen myself like this in the past 30 years. Eating less works.

[@lorill2631]

[@vivveene1675]

I end up eating once per day because I was going through a financial crisis and I had to make sure my preteen had something most of the time to eat. To my surprise, my energy was through the roof in the evenings and the serious inflammation I was experiencing was gone and talk about the weight loss.

how do you manage the food, are you eating once per day? or how? and do you drink anything other than water during the fast periods?

[@georgechristoforou991]

What I have learned about fasting is that you can get accustomed to it. Start with a few hours then extend the period of fasting day by day. When started, I used to struggle with 24 hr fasts. Now I can do 2 day fasts and I don't feel particularly hungry. When you break your fast be careful not to overdo it.

[@williamwightman8409]

Such excellent advice. Just to eating less real food does wonders, but yes it takes effort and the breaking of old food habits. The worst habit, if it can be called that, is the tendency to eat without thinking about it. Clock-based eating is a real problem. Start small and keep trying after each failure. I have found that brushing my teeth signals to me that no more food is appropriate until the next feeding window. I am slowly working my way down to OMAD at noon for the whole week, with tea and water all day long. How/when you eat also can improve the REM sleep quality and prevent/reduce GERD and related issues.

A lady I know does 1 day a week fasting she's 74 and doing great!

[@catcan221]

I used to do long fasts. I found that being in a calorie deficit caused me to stop having my period, made my metabolism reset to lower caloric intake and to have muscle loss. I was not getting enough protein to keep my hormones balanced. Once I started eating what my body needed in both calories and protein macros in a time restricted window, I gained muscle, balanced hormones and started losing fat again. I think fasting once in a while is okay but regularly doing it is actually bad for your metabolic health and muscles. I think the idea is not to be grazing all day long or eating late into the night. Let your body rest and allow insulin to go down but do not become weak, fragile, and hormonally messed up by starving yourself too much.

I have seen enough research now that says long term fasting is a very bad idea. I used to fast a lot and after doing deeper research, realize why that is not good. Unless you want to be a frail old person who breaks a hip and dies young, build muscle with proper protein intake daily and fast only 12-18 hours a day to let insulin go down.

It has generally not worked well for me. In my 20s I regularly skipped breakfast daily and dinner a couple nights a week and lunch on the weekends and I was more unhealthy than I've ever been. No energy. I was also during this time underweight, needless to say, despite really stuffing myself during that one or two meals I'd have. I'd have random days where I'd wake up completely drained, feeling wiped out. I still get these sometimes but not with nearly the same frequency as before. Now I strength train which requires pretty regular eating. My energy level has stabilized as has my mood. I'm sure there are great benefits to fasting for the typical overweight and sedentary American, but for me the fact that our ancestors did it by no choice of their own isn't enough to convince me we are healthier following suit. Our ancestors also lived to an average age of 35 supposedly.

That will only last until your body becomes more "metabolically flexible" and is able to switch from burning Glucose (food in the mouth) to burning fat stored in your adipose tissue. The headaches are in many cases caused by either withdrawal from sugar (either actual sugar or carbohydrates), a lack of water and minerals, and sometimees even an innordinant amount of toxins being released during the fat burning stage. Bottom line, it goes away. Be sure to drink enough fluids, and make sure you have enough minerals in your meals to help your body chemistry when not eating.

But when you do a prolonged fasting you need to adapt your training a little bit. It means less weight in strength training and staying in zone 2 in endurance (avoid zone 5). Not stopping your workouts in a prolonged fast permits you to lose weight (mostly fat) far more quickly and to lose less lean mass.

The Myth of Fasting for Longevity: Why We're Already Living Longer Than Our Ancestors In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards fasting as a means of improving health and longevity. The argument goes that, in our modern world of abundance and constant access to food, we have lost touch with the natural rhythms of our bodies and the way our ancestors lived. By fasting, we can reset our biological clocks and potentially extend our lifespans. However, this argument is based on a flawed assumption: that our ancestors lived shorter lives than we do today. In fact, the opposite is true. While life expectancy has certainly increased in the modern era, our ancestors were not necessarily doomed to short, brutal lives. Studies of ancient populations have shown that, on average, humans in the Paleolithic era (around 10,000 years ago) had lifespans similar to those of modern humans. This is despite the fact that they did not have access to many of the modern medical and technological advances that we take for granted today. Furthermore, there is evidence that our ancestors practiced a form of intermittent fasting as a natural consequence of their hunter-gatherer lifestyle. They would go for extended periods without food, then feast when the opportunity presented itself. This suggests that our bodies are well-adapted to periods of fasting and feasting, and that we do not necessarily need to adopt extreme fasting regimens to achieve optimal health. Of course, there are certainly benefits to fasting, such as improved insulin sensitivity and weight loss. However, it is important to question the idea that fasting is necessary for longevity, or that our ancestors were somehow inferior to us in terms of lifespan. By understanding the ways in which our bodies have evolved over time, we can make informed decisions about how to optimize our health and wellbeing, without succumbing to fads or myths.

this is opposite to the findings Huberman shared.. He said that the intermittent fasting results seem to not be the eating window but the the calorie intake could be much better managed due to having given times when to eat and not but that the non-eating time really was not the driving force, but the old school idea of having control of calories in and calories out was most likely the real reason to weight loss.

i have white coffee with fullcream milk (which si essentially liquid animal protein, water and sugar) until breakfast/dinner about 6-9pm. oh, and i work with my hands. not exactly shovelling shit, but not sitting at a desk either. my diet is pretty much 50% protein sources, the rest is sugars and fats. meanwhile, i cant remember the last time i was sick, and i never got covid even though never got vaccinated til the beginning of this year, and rarely wore a mask. its the plant-based foods that kill us. vegetables are evolutionarily evolved to fight back against being eaten (not the case for most fruits, im mostly talking about veges here). sure, we are biologically omnivorous, but that doesnt mean veges. so-called "non-toxic" veges might not kill you outright, but most are slowly poisoning you and your reproductive health, and sabotaging your future generations via Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals of one type or another. it doesnt help that we slather them in more EDCs (both pesticides and fertilisers), and to top it all off, you have to destroy far more trees to produce a diet of plants than you do if you raise animals in amongst natural environments. seriously, for sooo many reasons to do with so many aspects of life, if you did one good thing for the future of humanity, stop eating the damn plants.

Reverse Aging? Yes, it can be done. Whether one is eating daily psychological eating, or high junk food eating or balanced meal diet, one should habitually do things that will digest the food in less than 2 days. Like drinking lots of water, stretch exercises, and eating fruits high in fiber. That is simple weekly reverse aging. If those undigested food gets traffic inside the body, double or triple those simple good digestion steps. Well, its obvious that everyone knows the huge undigested food are aging poos(yah reality check, let it go), turned diabetes causes turned to cancer. Read lots of health and medical journals. Or simply put common sense of what goes in should go out in some.

Looks like Dr. Sinclair is not in tune with Dr. Panda... Though both theories are the two sides of the same coin

There’s a guy breaking into his house 😢

How many calories are you talking about

THIS COULD EASILY BE THE ''FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH'' - F A S T I N G - IT SEEMS THAT FOODS AND EATING 3X A DAY IS ACCELERATING THE AGING PROCESS. SO LESS FOOD TURNS BACK THE CLOCK, & STOPS AGING. !!! Excessive food makes you old, fat, lazy, diseased, and less food gives you longevity, health and youth. Inspiring video.!

Live short and be comfortable or long and be miserable ;).

Doesn’t this sound a bit like an eating disorder? I’m surprised to hear two doctors calmly advocating not eating for 22 hours every day

[@co36]

It doesn’t. An eating disorder would involve not eating at all. Most of humane history has us eating lots then eating little. Depending on what we kill or forage.

[@zaramalik1017]

@@co36 firstly, you’re incredibly misinformed about eating disorders. Secondly, in the days that we used to kill and forage our own food, our life expectancies were a lot shorter than they are now, when most people are able to eat at regular intervals throughout the day.

My cats live into their twenties. I live with woods behind me and they have cat door so their existence is euphoric.
