I am under the care of a Senior Dietitian who insists I am too old to fast ( 73) . I like fasting , i enjoy feeling a little hungry

[@username00009]

Have you looked for a keto dietician? Fasting puts you into ketosis so a keto dietician may be better equipped to help you continue fasting even if you don’t eat according to keto principles.

[@ginafromcologne9281]

I think some doctors and dietitians are often rather conservative and don't really know a lot about fasting. Maybe you should get a second opinion.

[@gomezokpala7956]

Thank you very much for this video. Fasting has played a very key role in helping me regain my health recently, and I have learnt so much from your videos.

[@BuchingerWilhelmiFasting]

Thank you very much for your kind words. We appreciate it very much.

I think eating and drinking during a fast makes it more difficult. If you drink fruit juice in the morning, it spikes your bloodsugar, spikes your insulin, followed by hypoglycemia and feeling hungry and weak. In a real water only fast, you burn fat all the time, your bloodsugar is stable and you do not get hungry. If you do want to eat something on a fast, then eat fat! Fat does not spike insulin!

Thank you for your comment. At Buchinger Wilhelmi we practice therapeutic fasting based on our founder Dr. Otto Buchinger. This method allows low-calorie teas, juices, and soups (200-250 kcal daily at Buchinger Wilhelmi clinics) and is scientifically proven to boost energy. Water fasting on the other hand is very stressful for the body, which is why we don’t recommend it. If you’re interested in how our method works, you can learn more here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGfKZ51sa72LeZI And against hunger, headaches and possible fasting side effects the patients in our clinics can do an enema every two days. Then the hunger disappears faster, the intestinal walls and microbiome change, which positively affects your immunity as well as your mood. And it also helps with headaches.

Dear Dr. Wilhelmi de Toledo, I have asked this question elsewhere too: Do you have experience with long term fasting being helpful for Rheumatoid Arthritis in your clinics? I have developed severe RA that modern treatments are not able to control. The excessive inflammation is now damaging my brain, heart, eyes in addition to my joints even with high doses of steroids and biologicals. My doctors are running out of ideas and I am starting to discuss fasting with them but they have no experience. I am not asking for medical advice, only if you have seen long term fasting actually help a severe autoimmune condition? Or the stress of fasting might make matters worse? Fasting may be my last and only hope but I still want to be careful. I believe in some video (I cant remember which video) you say that the fasting should be a minimum of 21 days for autoimmune diseases? If the first round does not make changes then you should do it again? Anyone else improved their RA or other autoimmune condition through long term fasting? Please reply, share your experience.

[@ginafromcologne9281]

Hi, the lady mentioned that fasting helps against this condition too, because fasting has an anti-inflammatory effect. I really hope it will help you, all the best!

[@smitaghosh6133]

@@ginafromcologne9281 Thank you! I will try....

[@BuchingerWilhelmiFasting]

Hello Smita, Thank you for your comment. Rheumatoid arthritis is an indication we treat in our clinics. Because fasting has been proven to have a beneficial effect on chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. If you're interested you can find more information on our website: www.buchinger-wilhelmi.com/en/therapeutic-fasting-and-nutritional-strategies/ We wish you all the best, Your Buchinger Wilhelmi Team

Awesome! A plate of sprouted lentils would be about 600 calories, well enough to keep you satiated right?😊

What can I eat or drink during long time fasting of 5-15 days?

[@exiledmonastic4650]

thank you for the video. i don't understand why you say that using the fasting box is "not real fasting". i thought the contents of the box correspond with the same stuff that patients get while they're at your clinic, does it not? how many calories a day would you consider a 'real fast' (other than water fasting i mean) - there are plenty of people who say that if you eat even just a little thing, it's a not a 'real fast'.

This makes it possible to experience a fasting experience during normal everyday life. In principle, we recommend long-term fasting always under medical supervision.

@@BuchingerWilhelmiFastingThanks a lot for taking the time to reply, very interesting! Didn't know that about the fasting box. Maybe one day you could offer such a box for a 'real' fasting experience, in case people would like to do it on their own (while being supervised by their local doctors of course). Cheers!

[@username00009]

@@exiledmonastic4650what would you like to see in a “real” fasting box? High quality salt and ketone strips?

[@winstonbrown347]

if it's physiologically so normal to go long period without food, why do we have to be cautious about proper reintroduction. If you where an animal looking for food you would just feast when you find it. Also, this idea of what is wrong and right food I don't understand. We have taste receptors connected to our nervous system that reinforces positive feedback for certain foods. That counts for meat, fat, sweets.
