Isn’t dangerous to eat after 5 days since you can get re-feeding syndrome after not eating for a bit?

[@yeoyooyoo3326]

@@speedyplayer1217 I think that tends to happen with extended fasts and ones which you only consume water. It's better to break on fruit and broth (but he's been consuming that already) or foods with high water content first and then solids build up. But that depends on the fast, prep before and their usual eating habits. Obviously if he had an eating disorder like binge eating or history of fad diets it can result in this syndrome.

I'm a dietician student and I can say that you don't build up bad stuff in your body. Your body cleans itself all the time. You can do fasting with professional help but not by yourself. Be really careful. And it's not recomended for everyone. Don't eat so fat and so much after fasting. Your body isn't used to so much food anymore. You can harm yourself. Speak to a doctor before.

don't listen to that guy above, bone broth unless sourced from grass fed grass finished animals is something to avoid, at the very least it needs to be grass fed. once in a while it won't be too harmful, but definitely don't consume it too often, avoid if possible

[@funkyfiss]

@@NomadWalker-io3ne Where did you get that nonsense from? Bone broth is one of the best things anyone can eat. * It's an excellent source of collagen,a fundamental building block to build structure and repair tissues everywhere. Which is needed everywhere. everywhere from the eyes, the gut lining, joints and even the uterus! In addition, bone broth contains glucosamine and chondroitin which are natural compounds found in cartilage and essential for joint and connective tissue health. * Bone broth has naturally anti-inflammatory actions thanks to special amino acids like glutamine which can help repair the tight junctions in the gut lining, a condition known as ‘leaky gut’. It is also a source of proline and glycine, two other amino acids only found in small amounts in meat. These help provide the building blocks for the rapid growth of cells in the gut lining, and reduce inflammation. You can also drink bone broth for gut health as it contains hyaluronic acid, which helps to give tissues moisture and keeps them lubricated. * Bone broth contains sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphate and chloride. These micronutrients power the energy batteries of each cell in your body, needed for the mitochondria, and without them no cell-to-cell electrical conduction would take place. *Because it helps repair your gut it also repairs and boosts your immune system because it highers your amino acids and glutamine levels. And no, it doesn't have to be farm sourced. Both broth is extremely healthy to consume regardless. Everything you said was utter nonsense. People have been drinking soup with bone broth when they get sick for thousands of years. It's because it works and is extremely good for your body.

[@silverwater211]

Why call that mushroom broth, bone broth, it is silly.

[@sashadonovan-anns9528]

The reason you feel sharper and more focused after a few days of not eating is because your body is going into survival mode and is alert for any way you can get some food. Once you pass that stage without eating you become very weak and fuzzy headed as your body relies on inefficient respiratory pathways instead of glucose. If you want to feel sharper and more focused without stressing your body out or veering around disordered eating you could try lots of other things (and a blood test if you're tired long term!). This is something I studies in psychology and unfortunately experienced first hand when a virus made me lose a quarter of my weight in a month... The shift from super alert, to obsessed with food, to completely out of it, struggling to hold a conversation. Be careful guys! If you want to feel awake just splash your face with cold water and put some music on! Reflect for some time every morning and evening and you will experience more clarity. It doesn't have to be so extreme, but then who would watch a video that was so day-to-day?

[@Frilleon]

Couldn’t say this better myself. Well written, friend

[@lenafarnsworth1021]

This isn't entirely accurate. A lot of that fatigue is from not getting enough electrolytes and such. If you're supplementing electrolytes and minerals, you can fast for quite some time. It's very healing and has so many benefits to just be disregarded so easily. Important to look at more data and research before making such blanket statements.

When I was deep into my ed I would fast constantly, I was so afraid of eating and losing control and gaining weight I would fast for 4 days or to 2 weeks then only have 250-300 calories and over exercise. The first few days of fasting you are more focused and feel more alert but the uncomfortable feeling of your stomach being empty always thinking about food and near you always wanting to eat and feeling mentally exhausted and physically you start feeling like your body is shutting down and have rapid mood swings, having severe stomach pains. Ik alof of ppl fast for their health and for religion and it’s not a bad or unhealthy thing but you need to know what you are doing and talking to an doctor and having a healthy relationship with food you do not need to lose weight just by fasting I fucked my body up so much bc of it

​@@jenniferlavoie2548 no, it doesn't. I don't know about the 17 hour claim but it happens when the body is in "distress". It's part of a built in survival process.

[@jenniferlavoie2548]

it happens after working out. Fasting is not essential to the process. Autophgy is present in mice after 15 hours or so, but mice don't live as long as us, and there is no study that examines when it actually happens in humans, who are larger and live longer in mice. Dr. Peter Attia is a well respected MD who used to subscribe to fasting. He no longer does based on the new sceintific studies.@@maryanyone

i genuinely love fasting sm. my max was like 150hrs so I haven’t done that extreme fasts but the starving euphoria is so🥴🥴 + it’s SO MUCH easier than restricting

[@wopachop4582]

I do a couple of 10 -15 day fasts a year, depending how long i can last, i drink some salt water once a day to stave off death, just 2 tea spoons in a pint, its gross and disgusting, but really important, potasium is the real limiter to fast length if you going full water fast and getting enough salt, the fasts completly reset your metabolism and hunger levels, also your insides actually get to take a break, really feel healthier after them, i think 5 days is the minimum time where you will actually benifit from a fast, also, you must have a little fat reserve beforehand otherwise you will lose muscle mass, 5-10 pounds is usually enough to last if you are not doing physical work

[@willardtorres]

I just finished my 5 days of fasting , just plain water whenever I get hungry, and my gout on my left knee went away.

[@bethanysurrender3439]

Interesting

[@willardtorres]

@@bethanysurrender3439 , according to some holistic doctors, when you go on fasting atleast 5 days , your body will start to consume all those EXTRA fat deposits, and minerals in your joints. Could be true because I can move like I am in my teenage years though I'm already 45.

[@marzipanmango]

Isn't gout caused by eating too much alcohol, sugar and protein? If it is, it makes sense that fasting would help gout go away. Please correct me if I'm wrong though! 😅

[@masondegaulle5731]

I do a 2 day fast once every week, usually Wednesday & Thursday. Helps keep energy up, stay trim and light in the gut. You'd be surprised how much you crap out in the 2nd half of the 2nd day. I have Crohn's though so this might be a bit extreme for the average person. Maybe 2 days once a month? If you get a stomach bug, fasting is a great way to "nip it in the bud", fnar fnar. Also a great way to reset gut bacteria, though that needs 3 days and only water.

[@metabreaker1185]

@@darshita665 No, it’s called prolonged fasting and there’s scientific evidence that proves it’s efficacy. Try and do some research, there’s many articles in legitimate journals. Also, if you prefer not to do research because you are lazy, try check out check out Dr. Eric Berg and Dr Jason Fungs channels. The reason why you don’t want to take bone broth is because it will break your fast. There’s calories meaning you will lose the Benifits of ketosis and auto phage. You should educate yourself and gather all the facts before voicing an opinion, I’ve made the same mistake before in my physics and math classes, so no worries 😃

[@betteryourlife865]

I could never fast this long. If I go more than 20 hours I start gagging and dry heaving lol. I went a week without eating a few months ago cause I got an infection and I guess my body decided to completely take away my hunger/ability to eat while trying to deal with it. Was so weird to have no appetite for so long and when I did try to eat I felt grossed out after 1 bite.

[@annyvee_]

I did it for 6 days (with just water): Felt absolutely miserable with no focus throughout. At some point I was slightly hallucinating, and that's when I knew I had to stop. If you do it for medical reasons, I wish you strength and the best for a better outcome. If you don't, please, just *please* let your doctor know beforehand. I for one do not recommend it at all. What I did was stupid and I regret my choice. Don't be like me. Something bad could happen, and the last thing you want to tell your doctor is that you did it with your own hands by deciding to starve yourself for a week (see how idiotic that sounds?). There are other ways you can "detox", that doesn't include quite literally starving. Stay safe.

[@SmilesRay98]

5 days are a lot. I did water fast for 3 days and i felt like it was enough. But i also spoke to my doctor and he was testing my life functions these 3 days. I think that's the right way to do it, but I get that not everyone has free health care and can't spend money with this diet. But i did it for other health issues and it worked well

If you are fat you can fast on and off for a while and work out (you will notice an aggressive drop off for about the first month but keep it up brother) after a while your muscle will marble and be able to use fat for energy rather than muscle and you will start to feel stronger after fasting for a few days. Adrenaline is one hell of a drug.

Next time you do this it's better to break your fast with something that has alot of juices like an orange or watermelon, just gives your body a little wake up 😂

Orange has too much acidity. As someone who fasts once a year for a month, something neutral like sweet tea followed with water would be good. The sugar has that sweetness to boost your energy after the fast

Prolonged fasting is just as healthy. You just have to properly plan by lowerinh your body's glucose before the fast and getting plenty of excersise and electrolytes to go into ketosis sooner.
