Minimum fasting length required for autophagy | Guido Kroemer

A key regulator of the process of autophagy is a drop in cellular levels of acetyl CoA, an end product of nutrient metabolism. As one would expect, fasting - the abstention from all nutrients - is a potent inducer of autophagy. This is especially true in mice, which begin to experience autophagy within a few days of fasting. However, critical metabolic differences between mice and humans make it difficult to extrapolate these findings to humans. In this clip, Dr. Guido Kroemer describes the current state of knowledge about the minimum amount of time required for fasting-induced autophagy in humans.

Finished a 72 hour fast Wednesday. (Second one I’ve ever done). I always feel worse on the first day, which I think is more to do with cravings as opposed to actual hunger. Days 2 I woke up full of energy, went crazy clearing out the kitchen cupboards and went to bed that night with my body singing. Day 3 I was much more tired, and fantasising about my first meal later in the day, but it was manageable as I wasn’t having hunger pains. I didn’t weigh before or after, I did it purely to eradicate the inflammation issues that had cropped back up since the first fast at the beginning of 2019. It worked, as I knew it would. My glands went down, knee, ankle, lower back pain all gone. I had also been suffering with acne on my neck, which all disappeared.

This lady is scary smart. I can attest though to fasting and autophagy. Years ago I suffered a severe wound on my forehead from falling off of a house. When everything was healed and I was well, I still had a growth of scar tissue or some hard fibrous material just above my right eye and just under the skin. It was larger than a dime but smaller than a nickel. It was there for about 5 years. Then I started fasting. usually intermittent 16/8.But a 48 hour fast once a week. My growth thing just simply wasted away. There is a tiny remnant left, that is about the size of a pinhead, that I expect to completely disappear as I began fasting again.

Those longer stretches of not eating - seem to have jump started my weight loss in a way the shorter fasts didn't. I have always Fasted for the health benefits of feeling better and having more hours everyday where sugar and insulin levels remain low and stable. I have fasted about 18 hrs a day since college - long before these IF studies came out, because even back in college, I knew I felt more energetic when not metabolizing food constantly. Years later, when the book The ZONE came out .... it confirmed how unhealthy it was to have one's insulin levels continually swing up and down throughout every single day - and for me, the easiest way to control that, was going long stretches during the day without consuming any calories - and only eating in the evening so I could share a meal with my family - and as a bonus - that evening meal, also gave me something to look forward to after a long day.

I've been doing intermittent fasting for at least six months(probably longer) where I typically don't eat for 16 hours or more (but not usually more than 20) and have noticed a lot of improvement with some of my issues. I don't know if 16 is the magic number but I will say fasting can help heal your body. The weird thing is longer dry fasting ( I did a few 1 and 2 days of it and 2 four days of it) didn't seem to do much for me. Everyone is different though and needs to experiment and find out what works best for them.For me, long termintermittent fasting has worked the best for me so far.

You won’t see much autophagy wffects at this stage of fasting, it will definitely help and is very good that you’re doing that but typically peak autophagy levels start at 48 hours, with this ramp up beginning at 18

[@brucewayne5221]

I think it depends on many things besides just the time in the fasting state. You have to take in to consideration lots of variables such as activity levels (exercise or stagnant), what was consumed prior to beginning the fast (carb heavy or not), environment itself (temperature in particular, causing more or less metabolism to cool or heat the body), stress (heavy stress vs relaxed state)... etc. With that being said, there will never be an exact answer that works for all, since no one can ever share the exact same circumstances. I personally feel that by 48 hours of a fast, my body has begun autophagy. How far along, I couldn’t say. But I also work out very hard, lots of cardio, hot saunas, cold showers, black coffee, and sometimes green tea while fasting, so I know I enter autophagy much quicker that way.

Don't forget that fat loss is also a form of Autophagy...self eating so to speak. If you are overweight and losing weight from fasting...then some autophagy has a occurred. If no weight loss has occurred, then no autophagy has happened, but it has to done over at least a week period as weight can easily go up and down depending on water and food in the body.

[@johnmaloney1681]

No, it's not. When the body switches to using fat as an energy source when it runs out of glycogen, it consumes/burns fat. But Autophagy is the process in which damaged/mutant cells are turned off/killed, consumed, and replaced w/ new cells. Burning fat is not autophagy.

[@biohackshq4072]

He was very honest about not knowing the minimum about of time for autophagy to begin. But fasting has great benefits with or without autophagy.

[@AngloSaks666]

I've experimented with various 'rhythms' of calorie intake over the last few years, also thinking about the type of food I'm taking, also keeping in mind simply ways of getting used to the process (I hit on the idea of using nuts for high calories to get used to small meals, for instance) and it's ended up with me being on OMAD pretty much all the time for about 4 years, a period of one meal every 2 days, gradually getting used to fasting and going from just a couple of days a few times, then 3, then up to 4 or 5 a few times, then 6 a couple of times, then 10 twice, 11 once, then 14 twice, with a month or two at least between each. The key seemed to be getting used to it psychologically, also understanding it (knowing I was feeding myself all the same; also being very aware that getting into the full autophagy and fat burning would be set back to zero if I consumed any food), making sure I was getting the necessary electrolytes for cell function, i.e. sodium, magnesium and potassium, consuming it all the time with water, and just leading normal days that take my mind off of food, that I enjoy, but relaxing. I did it in the summer mainly, and also during holidays, and also while living alone, so that made it much easier. The worst thing is temptation. It's amazing how easy it can get when your body adjusts to it, but the psychological aspect is a big one. I actually would walk past the grocery store nearby all the time and not feel tempted to go in, and even went around the supermarket buying cleaning stuff, but also checking out what best to buy later to finish my fast later, and still not tempted. Results are enlightening. Once fully into it, over the hurdle of the first stages (worst generally is the fourth, I found), better mood, more energy, sharper thinking, better sleep, incredible weight loss (about 4kg per week once properly into it). I lost more than 15kg with this approach. Though, it's true, it made me more relaxed about eating between fasts, so I could have kept more weight off (slow creep sometimes, especially over Christmas). It's true also that doing it with others around, and doing it while working makes it a lot harder. I did it during breaks, long weekends, holidays, and generally alone, keeping the apartment clear of food, of course. I also should add that this developed out of a combination of health problems I was having, plus weight gain, so developed over time and experimentation, so doing it suddenly is maybe not doable. Also I had experimented a lot with low carbs and ketogenic diets, so had gotten used to being in ketosis too, so that maybe made fasting easier for me as well. Also, the fact that I had these reasons and did this experimentation, taking it quite far, is kind of out of some level of desperation, and I can't be sure that the more extreme things I did, the fasts of 10 days and more, etc., do not have some harmful effect, at least in the long term. Short term benefits, weight loss, fine, but I'm still not sure that there might not turn out to be good reason to not take it as far as I did, so 'beware', I'm no expert. Learn about it. Stuff on the channel 'what i've learned' helped a lot in understanding the processes. I think there's more for me to learn, for example what better to eat in the days before it, and how best to come out of it.

I started IF one month ago at 20/4. It was difficult at first, but now I am doing 22/2 or 23/1 most days. I am completely satisfied with this routine. I get an energy boost at about 0900 every morning that is like taking speed. It's unbelievable. That's when I get my housework done!

[@rivermorrison8383]

Wow, so this suggests that intermittant fasting doesn't really induce autophagy. He says you need 3-4 days to reach it?

[@bazhughes5625]

Most holistic doctors agree it's around the 16-18 hour mark. So you would be getting a little bit everyday if you did an 18-6 and slightly more 20-4. Keeping this up consistently everyday would keep you maintained and in top health, especially if you were getting all your nutrients via organic foods and not eating crap. If you wanted to fast a lot longer, it would be a lot easier after adopting the 18-6 or 20-4 for a few weeks first, and then trying a longer stretch.

[@linearstudio1236]

first thing this guy says is that he doesnt know. Its different for everyone, 72 hour fast gives me everything i need and 100% i hit autophagy, i can tell by the changes to my body. From the benefits i get from IF (18-6) I would say that you hit autophagy in that 18 hr fast too.

The autophagy mindset is so wrong and misplaced. Eat as nature intended, and you will see the benefits of being natural. The scientific jargon makes people more stupid. They are all eventually proven wrong, but only naturals know this.

@@danielokeeffe5848 nature did not intend on us eating 3 meals a day, every day. natural humans fasted very often.

[@danielokeeffe5848]

@@trapsenpai I could not agree more. The point I was making is that nature does not deal in concepts of autophagy and that there is no need to resort to scientific studies/jargon as opposed to personal testing. I dry fast 24 hours twice a month and do IF daily. But it's looser and more natural.

[@marianshaltiel769]

I've been doing 18-6 for some time now and feel great with it. What I don't understand about 20-4 or longer is this: how do you get all the daily nutrients your body needs, protein, calcium, iron vitamins etc. You can't get the amount you need in one meal surely?

[@DudeSilad]

Has there been any recent studies since this clip with more evidence of autophagy? I try to do approx 16 hrs fasting. I can lift more weights in the gym so I suspect my testosterone level is higher. I'm in my mid 50's and I see no drop off at all in my strength. I would say my libido is also higher. Which I could do without if I'm perfectly honest :-)

Fasting really does wonders for the body. For the first time ever in my life, I took up fasting, last month. Did 2 18-20 hour fasts and boy, it felt so good. My face literally slimmed down. Body feels lighter and happier. I guess some sort of reset happened. Now I'm encouraged to keep trying fasts regularly even if 18-20 hours. The point is to start somewhere.

I just finished my second 3-day prolonged fast ever last week. It was much easier than my first time. It was probably because I spent 6 weeks getting my body used to fasting from OMAD fasting to alternate day OMAD fasting.

Fasting does gets easier . In the past, I’d binge after a attempted fast , on evening #1 lol. I’m better now :) .Go up bit by bit , like 14 hrs., 24 hrs. , 36 hrs, 48 hr, 72 hrs..... I’m currently doing rolling 48’s , filled by 1 day of keto IF, then another 48 hr water fast ... I’ll be throwing in 3-7 day fasts here and there. I have the body weight to handle this though. There are still great options for smaller people.

I just finished a 5 day water fast, and I lost 15 pounds, which is around 10% of my body weight. So how do explain this, as opposed to your 1-2%? Granted, I am a long-time fasting practitioner, so maybe this is a factor.

[@PigeoneerToy]

the first thing that goes away is liquid retention, so most of those lbs were likely water

[@milanveemiami]

@@PigeoneerToy I only did one day of dry fasting, others I was hydrating properly. What is your point, even if it was mostly liquids? I still dropped 10 times more then the guy in this video said people usually lose.

[@PigeoneerToy]

@@milanveemiami my point? No, you asked a question and I answered. I've been fasting for about 20 years, I know a thing or two on the subject.

[@michaelr6872]

@@milanveemiami hydrating during a fast has nothing to do with liquid retention. Water accounts for about one half to two thirds of an average person’s weight. Any extra water being held in the body is referred to as “water weight.” One of the biggest influences on water weight is sodium. Fasting is low sodium therefore your hydrating has little impact as it is being used and then flushed out. Also many doctors I have heard factor in anywhere from 2 to 6lbs for water retention and would not include that in the calculation of lbs lost due to the fact that as soon as you start consuming sodium and foods again your body will start building up those stores of water. So it's not really even weight lost. Even so you may have lost a little more than 2%. The 2% is most likely just an average and you may just be on the higher end of the spectrum used to calculate that statistical average. If my explanation is not clear enough give it a Google and you can find out more.
