Thank you sir.

[@marisrenge3782]

I have been 24h fasting 7th day in a row never felt better, in that one meal i eat 3000+ calories though 😂

[@watchmanexpert]

I normally do 16/8 for years and yesterday I did 24 hours and I feel so bad I don’t know why , feel huge headache, my feet and hands was so cold , feel weak and with hungry … I don’t know why I will try today again

[@MikeCola]

Sorry, Tony. Maybe you were low on electrolytes. It’s hard to say. Best - Mike

[@Seanmufc89]

Watching this as I’m going in cold 🙈

[@MikeCola]

Sounds good, let me know how you make out. Best - Mike

[@evelinrazo3662]

I’ve been doing 16:8 for a week. Yesterday I started a 24 hour fast. I’m on hour 20 right now. It is getting hard. I’m am experiencing hunger intensely and however I definitely think I can pull through. I feel as if I will eat a large load of food once the 24 hrs are up. Will that be bad? Or am I expected to eat a small balanced meal?

[@MikeCola]

First, have a small snack and see how you feel... wait an hour or two and then have a big meal

[@Arcadia61]

Doing one today, I'm 18 hrs in and not feeling hungry at all. It's only my second time doing it - I plan to do it once a week - the rest of the week is 18-6. Like you said you need to ease into it slowly. I started with going low-carb, then keto, then intermittent fasting, 16-8 at first and eventually, 18-6 and now slipping a 24-hour fast once a week. I don't think it's manageable unless you are low-carb - carbs are too addictive. You'll be having withdrawal symptoms after three or four hours and it will be torture to go through 24 hours.

[@Ryan____Z]

I’m going to do my first 24 hour fast Tommorow, I’m going to start breakfast to breakfast and have sausage egg and bacon both days. I hope it helps and I can do it, might start doing it once a week

[@davinkim5729]

Hi, should I workout during the 24 hour fast? If so, what kind of workouts? Thank you

[@MikeCola]

You can David, but I would take it easy. I personally just walk on my 24 hour fasting days..

[@pep9803]

Hello I just failed my 24 hour fast 😢 I was starving … I will look into all your videos! New subscriber.

[@MikeCola]

Thanks for subscribing , a 24 hour fast is pretty aggressive. I would start of with something easier like 16:8 .

[@christinapickett5522]

Drink black coffee it will help tremendously with appetite.

[@07.buddhi]

Good job, Mike! I like your videos! Can you jump on a theme about gluconeogenesis and why our body burns fat first of all and not our muscles. How to protect muscle mass while being in 24+ fasting? I’d like more biochemistry stuff in your videos. Thanks in advance! Keep it going!

[@home4ya]

new viewer and enjoy your insights, with no gallbladder is ok for me to continue my 42hr fast every Mon? Last meal is 6pm Sun and then next meal is 12pm Tues, ok to do w no gallbladder? What macros would you recommend for me? THX

[@jillachen7217]

Thank you for this good information!!

[@MikeCola]

Thanks, Jill 😀. I ‘m glad it was helpful. Best - Mike

[@Name-dl3uq]

I have 12 more hours left for my Good Friday fast for lent and i'm struggling so hard 😂 i usually do OMADs anyway, and did 48 hour fasts a few timesz but today for some reason it's a bit more difficult haha

[@MikeCola]

Do the best you can… make sure you’re properly hydrated. May be a pinch of salt in some mineral water.

[@Name-dl3uq]

@@MikeCola thank you!!

[@IslanderloverBKK]

Can I do a 24-hour fast for a week?

[@jebjim9391]

That is excellent advise. Thank you !!

[@MikeCola]

Thanks 😀

[@brumdogmillionaire7797]

This was really helpful thank you for your time

[@MikeCola]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nicegirl8260]

how often is your bowel movement on OMAD? pls reply.

[@MikeCola]

I typically go once a day after my 2 cups of coffee and a bottle of Pellegrino water in the morning. You have to make sure that you're taking in enough whole foods and fiber during your one meal. I make sure I eat a whole avocado every day plus two large servings or more of vegetables. Also, I don't do OMAD Every day. Generally just once a week I hope this helps. Best - Mike

[@chrisfranco6603]

I have IBD and no gallbladder. I tried to ease into Keto and I gave myself a moderate to mild case of pancreatitis. My body just doesn’t like high fat. I have to do low fat. So...I would like to lose some weight. 58 years old 6 foot and 215. I’m walking 60 minutes a day keeping my heart rate around 100 most days. I’d like to get down to 200. Tips for someone like me?

[@MikeCola]

Hi Chris, Sorry to hear about your health issues. I would add some resistance training and walking-nothing crazy, just some push-ups, bodyweight squats, and planks. If you're eating low-fat, make sure you cycle your calories from deficit to maintenance, so you don't hit any weight loss plateau. You can stay in a deficit for a few weeks and then up your calories to maintenance for a week, or you can do it intermittently throughout the week-deficit three or four days maintenance one day. Make sure you are also getting enough lean protein. You can be healthy eating low-fat! The only diet that never works is a high fat, high carb diet. Let me know how you're doing in a few weeks. Best - Mike

[@rakshareddy2002]

Hi sir ! I had heavy meals in dinner( sudden meal) So im planning to fast for next 24hrs i mean intermittently fast

[@MikeCola]

Sounds good let me know how it goes… make sure you stay hydrated

[@itsdira8693]

I want to 16 hour... but my math so bad 10am my last meal... it would be 24 hours for eat at 10 tomorrow I hope I'm okay

[@MikeCola]

Good 👍

[@Jimmysharma77]

Hi mike… right now i m taking 1 meal in 24 hours …bt i want to extend this about 36 hours daily.. is it safe to do intermittent fasting daily to 36 hous… sorry for my bad English

[@MikeCola]

That would be alternate day fasting (ADF) I think it's a good short term strategy..., but long-term it's hard to get in enough proteins, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.

[@deebesquik]

can i eat peanuts and protein bars or do i have to do water only guys

[@NinaVallnerova]

it’s not a fast if you eat

[@Yourmashouse]

Thanks

[@MikeCola]

No problem

[@gandalf8674]

I’m 15 and did it but I always skip breakfast and lunch so it was just not eating my dinner that night. Still little husky tho

[@MikeCola]

At 15 I really would not want you to fast for 24-hours. I didn’t want my kids to fast when they were in there teens because they are still growing. Try to eat as healthy as possible and eliminate the junk food… talk about it with your parents or your pediatrician

[@daviddrilling2165]

You gotta a jersey accent and a texas whistle at the same time. Make it make sense

[@MikeCola]

Hey David, I’m from New York. A lot of people comment about my accent, but no one ever said anything about Texas whistle.

[@rodrigosanchez4224]

I'm on hour 22

[@MikeCola]

Nice 👍👍👍

[@chrisfranco6603]

Great video

[@petethefishrrmen2025]

I Starving right now 😅

[@MikeCola]

Sorry Peter hang in there

[@paulaswaim8434]

Is that a New Jersey accent? Greetings from Evergreen, Montana.

[@MikeCola]

New York accent, but similar to New Jersey
