What goals do you have in mind when you embark on a fast? If you want to check out a full podcast on the topic of fasting you can check out Kyle's right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXi1gYObbd58eM0

[@TravisPavlik]

This video is on point. I’ve done 2 separate 3 day water/coffee/electrolyte only fasts over past 3 months. -Resets relationship with food -Strips fat -Clear thinking -Develops discipline

[@markomestrovic7560]

been doing 72s, lost 28lbs in 20 days

[@smetzgerful]

Think Mark really found something here. Everyone wants the same thing: more muscle, less fat. Need to loose fat…..then do longer fasts. Loosing too much muscle…..do shorter fasts like 2MAD or OMAD. It’s sustainable and healthy and easy way to stay in that desirable body fat range of 10-15%.

[@BirdyVlad]

Been doing rolling 72 hour fasts and down over 20lbs in a month and feeling amazing 🔥🔥

[@AlCiampa]

17:05… former strength athlete, military and lifelong fat kid. I can absolutely out-eat my fasting diet unless I stick to my usual beef-only, or, I’ll need to fast for rolling 72-96 hrs. My story, my life, and I deal with it. But, this is by and far an appropriate statement.

[@Megaslob]

I just go full Rambo mode and just plain out starve myself down every few months and set a goal of 3 days and then after three days anything after is a bonus. First 24 hours is the hardest

[@calholli]

People don't realize how much food is dragging them down. I did a 6 day water fast and I felt fantastic.. I lost 22 lbs that week.. and it shrank my stomach so much that I would feel full with just a small meal.. like no larger than my fist. That's all I was eating each day after the fast... and I went on to lose over 90 lbs in just over 2 months (getting me down to 193). I can't express enough how awesome fasting is. Especially a long fast-- it gives you enough time to completely reset your gut biome and completely resets your cravings to a clean slate.. Which was the biggest benefit IMO. But once I started eating my old food habits again, I gained all that weight back just as fast. So as great as fasting is, you still have to make a meal plan when coming off of it, or you will gain it all back in a hurry.

[@danielmaslak94]

Can you recommend some books about fasting?

[@LatimusChadimus]

It's definitely a good way to help people develop a better relationship with food and since men do not bloodlet monthly like women do, it can certainly help helping your body get rid of dead tissues and cells in the body through what is called autophagy

[@Jdm5299]

Proper sleep, exercise, and a caloric deficit are all methods that increase your levels of autophagy.

[@LatimusChadimus]

​@@Jdm5299they can enhance the effects but they don't get you to the process because that takes time and it's hard to get to that process if your body is too distracted by digesting in metabolizing, which is why sometimes it can take 18 or even 22 hours to start that process.

[@Jdm5299]

@@LatimusChadimus there's no science in what you're saying.

[@LatimusChadimus]

@@Jdm5299 yeah there is, I've heard about the studies more than once on the High Intensity Health channel. It's a similar issue to eating before bed reducing effects on your immune system because your body is too distracted since the majority of your immune system resides in your gut

[@Jdm5299]

@@LatimusChadimus he cherry picks most of his research.

[@perseverancefam3938]

Loved this mark. Thank you brother 🙏

[@steveanton9588]

I've always heard break your fast with protein. Fruit is ok to break a fast with?

Both are good. Whatever whole food you want should be good

[@trainerjoe]

Did a few dry fasts but I live in New England. Loved them. Also have done a few 72s. Also loved them. It is tricky when you want to train heavy and be "heavier". But it is easy to "addicted" to eating less and fasting.

[@thomashunt6000]

I don't fast for weight loss as I am already chronically underweight. I do IF to mitigate my digestive issues and to build discipline/delayed gratification. Currently stepping away from it, though, and incorporating more calories/meals throughout the day.

[@jamie.777]

Whos the ✏️?

[@benchcrewgames]

Mark you're doing great! So happy for your positive transformation and that you're putting all the information out there for everyone to digest while we fast, haha! Great work as always!

[@nonothing9685]

There's no need to speculate, just look at the data. Long term fasting for people that weigh normal amounts leads to massive muscle loss. Dr Peter Atia used to recommend this to his clients but started measuring their body mass via dexia scans, and saw they would lose like 8 pounds of muscle mass a year for doing longer pasts. He himself lost so much muscle mass that he completely stopped and started focusong in gaining muscle .

[@Manus882]

Why do everyone put subtitles in their videos it's annoying youtube already have an subtitle option

[@theonlyjerid]

Dam this is some great info!!!! Thank you so much!

[@Nothanks854]

You should do a fast like Muslims. Its only a month

[@jetter820]

I thought we were going to have an honest conversation about fasting?

[@imliz100]

Thanks mark. Interesting stuff.

[@michaelwellner8151]

I am on board with everything you said keep it up 👍

[@claudiugardelli6302]

It actually nukes my T.

[@ronburgandy3339]

In a good way of course.

[@calholli]

It didn't for me.. The fasting made me lose weight fast.. so it motivated me to do more exercise, which really booted everything.. better mood, more energy, last longer in the b3droom, etc. It was so beneficial, just to get away from the trash food I was eating.

[@bearshapedbubs6626]

it also nukes IGF1 and messes up SHBG. The only legitimate non Woo benefit of fasting is as a form of calorie control

[@smetzgerful]

It can lower T but it increases HGH hugely! It’s all about finding the sweet spot. Not too long of a fast. My experimenting has shown me it is one meal per day (23 hour fast). So that looks like fast/workout/eat dinner. Also an occasional 48 hour fast is ok, but research says the benefits (such as autophagy) decline quickly after 48 hours.

[@bearshapedbubs6626]

@@smetzgerful thats a misrepresentation of what's happening in a prolonged fast. HGH is converted to IGF1, which is the primary hormone responsible for youth and vitality Fasting destroys the IGF1 conversion process, so the body panics and produces more HGH in an attempt to get IGF1 back up. Unfortunately this doesnt work, so you get a very VERY minor HGH bump and a massive IGF1 drop as the HGH can't be converted

[@billymills4238]

eat too much processed food

[@bigkurz]

Saying “if you haven’t tried it you can’t speak intelligently on it” is a non answer. He doesn’t address why his opponents are wrong. Just that they haven’t tried it so they can’t know. Just because I haven’t tried heroine I can still say it’s bad for you. It’s just a bad argument

[@WalkDisneyWorld]

Nahhhh you don’t understand an opiate high until you experience it. You won’t even be able to describe it accurately. You might be able to know that it’s bad for you, but you won’t be able to describe the effects. You can assume fasting is bad for you, but the research and anecdotal evidence proves otherwise……….

That’s fair, but with heroine, we have a very clear understanding of the negative effects, including the mechanisms by which heroine adversely affects a person, as well as countless datapoints of individuals who have suffered from heroine addiction. With fasting, the effects are more complex, there is little to no incentive to study nor encourage fasting (indeed, there is negative financial incentive to encourage fasting - if it were indeed to cause a person to need less / no other medical intervention), and it’s more of an open question as to whether fasting is good or bad or neither. “If you haven’t tried it you can’t speak intelligently on it” is fair here, at least in the sense of - “I’ve tried it, I benefited from it, and I subjectively felt much better for it. If I hear someone cite a study that says fasting doesn’t help with X, I can safely disregard it, as I know from personal experience that I benefit from fasting”.

[@Nick-gg6tg]

He talks zero about proteins & fats. Dude is bombing his system with an insane amount of sugar.

[@Jdm5299]

The benefits come from the caloric deficit and limiting your eating window. Those with certain gut issues, fasting could reduce the inflammation. Other than that, it's not magical.

[@Jdm5299]

@@ElPapacitoGrande it's just facts. Sorry I'm not referencing bullshit cherry picked studies.

[@ElPapacitoGrande]

@@Jdm5299 no worries young man. it's not as simple as that, you just happen to be that simple... BTW - There's no need to apologize for being obnoxious. I can see that it's out of your control. Life is more that your teachers told you, son! Facts! Go do some research

[@Jdm5299]

@ElPapacitoGrande I've done research while you're regurgitating garbage research your favorite youtuber cited, lol. Fasting is suboptimal for muscle growth and not necessary for longevity.

[@ElPapacitoGrande]

@@Jdm5299 haha that's the way you understand it? Wow! Your science is as flawed as your personality! I can tell you're a beta by the way you talk to people. I looked at your other KZbin comments and you are just an angry boy with a knowledge of the world that extends no farther than the end of your nose. I named the longest thing on your body to give you benefit of the doubt. Alrighty then, champ! Keep making them gainz! Lol
