After losing 263lbs in the last 1.5 years the last 4-6 months have been difficult for me with doing great during the week but binging on the weekends. Not losing any more weight and going up and down during each week. On the 3rd day of my fast now and adding two more. Lost 15lbs so far. Going to use that momentum to get into a Keto while tracking calories moving forward and using it as a "restart" towards my weight loss goals.

Maybe giving digestion a break allowed your body to concentrate on other parts. Also, the collagen or other nutrients may have had something to do with it. Thanks for sharing that info.

[@edviercabassa652]

Hey Thomas, I didn’t know you were doing this fasting. I did one too. The week previous starting my fast I spent it cheating with high carb meals(haven’t cheated in a while, always keto). My initial goal was 120 hours but I did 107. I broke the fast cause I felt it was enough and 13 more hours wouldn’t make too much difference, plus I wanted to have dinner with my wife. Interesting results too! I felt cold after hour #24, super cold I sould say. Felt horrible between hour 50-60. Infelt like I was going to pass out.Suddenly after hour #60 felt super good, tons of energy, no hunger at all. I measured glucose and ketones: Hour #0: Glucose:93 mg/dl Ketones:0.0 mmol/L Hour #24 Glucose:88 mg/dl Ketones:0.0 mmol/L Hour #30 Glucose:86 mg/dl Ketones:0.6 mmol/L Hour #48 Glucose:77 mg/dL Ketones:2.2 mmol/L Hour#72 Glucose:68 mg/dl Ketones:2.6 mmol/L Hour#96 Glucose:65 mg/dL Ketones:3.3 mmol/L Hour#108(1 hour after eating a rib eye and broccoli) Glucose: 86mg/dl Ketones: 2.8 mmol/L Any idea how to understand these results?

[@SiimLand]

Recovery from workouts is also super fast because of the increased fat mobilization and higher cholesterol

[@Frogman214]

Are you saying, it's ok to workout hard while fasted because recovery happens faster? I thought the muscles needed carbs and protein for building and recovery and this only happens during the re-feed time. Is the bone broth enough nutrition? Can heavy work outs be done on a water only fast with quick recovery times too? Should we take BCA's while fasting? Would they even work without food?

Finished 72hrs 20min Wednesday afternoon. My last bone broth was ~21hrs prior to fast break, my schedule was off that morning so I did not get a workout in, and since I did not workout I didn’t drink broth and I was away from home so I had coffee and water only. Towards noon when I made it back home, I was going to drink some broth but decided to just fast through the rest of my time period. I then did a condensed version of one of my normal workouts which was: Strength work on bench + HIIT bench, about 25min, it was an unremarkable workout but I expected that to be the case. Right after (I usually wait 45min but had more scheduling conflicts), I drank a whey+dextrose+honey post workout drink (~20g whey,~25g carb of which all sugars), along with 8oz broth, and I ate a nonfat greek yogurt (13g carb - 6g fiber/6g sugar/and has stevia, 15g protein). Results Starting weight: 194.2lbs Ending weight: 188.0 (-6.2lbs, probably ~5lbs water) Today (2nd day after): 190lbs Glucose at fast end: 62 Glucose post fasted workout: 77 Glucose 1hr post workout: 109 Keep in mind those glucose readings are in the afternoon, so no dawn effect. I wish I had taken initial and maybe measurements during, but didn’t even think about it. Other notes my sleep was about 1hr shorter on last 2 nights, less REM and deep sleep per Fitbit, but for the most part I didn’t notice this during the daytime. At night prior to bed I was noticeably more tired, but didn’t fall asleep any faster and possibly took longer. Last two nights after the fast, I did sleep better but still 1hr less than normal. Weight is only up 2lbs, thought maybe it would go higher but I am eating keto. Overall feel pretty good, one thing that is standing out is sensitivity to caffeine seems to be higher, never really noticed that with other fasts. One other item - I ate too much fat too soon after my post workout meal, had some issues that night but it resolved the next morning. I know breaking an EF can be like that, but I guess I was thinking the broth would have kept things primed and would not be as bad ( I also did not have said broth for 21hrs prior, maybe part of it as well). Now, to keto (TKD) on! Well as best as I can through the holidays, we have a few Christmas meals to enjoy. I think New Years we will make full keto, and January is a renewing/relaunch of my fat burning goals.

I took part. Went from 155.6 down to 148.8. After breaking the fast I balanced out at 150-151lbs. I don't have a way to check my levels but day 1 went well, day 2 I felt kinda crappy for the 1st half of the day, and day 3 was pretty good with only short bits of hunger. I feel like I should have run it out for a full 5 day fast to maybe get some higher levels of autophagy. Overall it was a good experiment.

[@sampoe687]

This was incredibly helpful, Thomas! I started my 3 day fast with bone broth but decided to drop it the first night after it made me hungry. It is very relieving to know you had the same experience. Overall, you should do more of these self-experimentation style videos. Science is one thing but personal experience is where the rubber hits the road.

Nearly every body likes ice cream and so do I. An ice cream maker costs next to nothing, I got a fully functional used one on craigslist. I make ice cream using erythrytol as a sweetener which is just as satisfying as the store bought stuff and has significantly less impact on blood sugar level.

[@kathleenjones8501]

This video is a year old for me, but so much of this resonated with me. I am 67 years old and I’ve only been doing keto for two and a half months. I have lost 30 Ibs. I have done a couple of 24 hour water fasts and a couple of 48 hour water fasts. I embarked on a 72 hour water fast ( made it to 64) I felt good with the fast, and because of research I had done, I was no longer frightened at some of the low blood sugar readings I had because my ketones were rising. My blood sugars dropped as low as 3.7 (69), but my ketones were solid, over one after the second day. I track my GKI and was thrilled with my resulting numbers. The magic happened after the fast was over- I was still rocking ketones and lower blood sugars even after I had eaten. I broke my fast with bone broth, had eggs and cheese and avocado, and went out to dinner and had prime rib and veggies. I finished eating at 6:00 and when I went to bed at 10:30, my blood glucose was 4.5 (80) and my ketones were 2.5 When I woke up the next morning, my blood glucose was at 4.8 (85) and my ketones 1.1. After exercise , my blood glucose rose to 5.5 (100) and my ketones were at 1.0. My conclusion is that there is carry over after a longer fast and that I am becoming fat adapted.

Trying to get it all off but it is tough. I will keep you posted Thomas thanks for all you do for us oh yes p.s. I am 63 yrs old today.

[@conniefi]

My experience was Day 1 no hunger pains. Day two no hunger pains. Day three bad hunger pains for 10 seconds, then no more pain. Lost one pound. Was extremely hungry and ate tons of carbs which I have never done before. I am keto all the way. My cravings were unusual for me. Today Friday my first meal was kale and 1/2 cup of yogurt. I am not hungry. The bad part of this bone broth fast was the diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomforts. I usually regular. Also, I had extremely tired could not sleep properly. I had no energy to workout. I worked out Day 1-2 not 3. Today had another sleepless night. Napped during the day. I do a lot of IF everyday. I am on a 12-14 hour fast. That is why I think I had no hunger pains. I will weigh myself again tomorrow. I like the idea of fasting. I want to incorporate it once a month for two days. What I ate? I had homemade beef bone broth, turkey bone broth, Pellegrino Water which was fizzy, also I took my water with salt (plain water). I peed tons for the whole fast. Was it worth it? Definitely. I have a slow metabolism according to my DNA.

I actually went 4 days...Monday thru Thursday. I’ve done lots of fasts in the past but never a bone broth fast. I did fine but day 2 I was super hungry but then day 3 it subsided so that’s why I continued to day 4. I’m on day 5 and haven’t broken my fast yet but I will later today. All in all I sailed through and needed to do a reset anyway so this worked great...I’ve been stalled on Keto. I lost 6 lbs and will continue on now with strict Keto.

We figured introduction of foods might have shocked my body a little. Just guessing. Anyway the fast was really great, we both lost about 5 lbs. and really feel good.

My blood glucose is always elevated after HIIT...even when I haven't had any carbs the day prior. I am very well fat adapted. It's always kind of a shock to see such a high blood glucose.

[@danfc3s]

Completed the 3 days kinda... My starting weight was 83kg and I got as low as 81kg on the morning of day three, I'm about 82kg 2days after. I had 200mL of bone broth for breakfast and lunch each day and 400mL for dinner, the first day was all beef, the last two days were chicken for breakfast and lunch with beef for dinner. I worked out shoulders on the first day and chest on the last, I know you said not to do slow sustained cardio but I walked about 20km each of the three days because it's pretty much a ritual by now. I felt a 7 on the first day, 5-6 the second day and an 8-9 the third day until after my final meal. I felt ridiculously hungry all three days and I'm never hungry on OMAD, I've done two 16hr dry fasts before as well as a few full day fasts but never a prolonged fast, I loved the other fasts but this was brutal for me physically. My stomach was rumbling almost constantly, although from previously having IBS and gerd many years ago, I felt that my gut got better and I still feel that two days later it has improved with functionality even though it wouldn't shut up for 3.5 days. I broke my fast on the night of the third day, my hunger was ridiculous and I was not going to sleep until it was satisfied, I was weak as and I got fast food from the only place open 24 hours in Australia... I don't have a monitor yet but I reckon I was hypoglycaemic on day two, I had no energy whatsoever. I would do maybe one day of this again to rebalance my gut but if I did another prolonged fast I'd just have water, I don't think I'd have a problem with another three day fast with just water...

[@danhusband6154]

I was only able to participate for 48 hours... that said, the experience was incredible. I did find that the bone broth ( homemade) did make me hungrier than just water.

So glad I decided to join you, the weekend will be full of baking Christmas cookies, cakes and pies and it’s impossible for me not to test them 😂 now I won’t feel so guilty! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

That's great! I hope you enjoyed it (and you enjoy the cookies!)

[@cristycodered]

Appreciate you breaking this down, Thomas!

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Thanks for watching!!

I like just dry fast that is the best. like 48 hours total fast first 24 hours dry and then next 24 hours with warm water

[@ama-tu-an-ki]

Excellent explanations. The experiences you had, are totally normal, had exact the same experiences myself years ago. Liver dumps huge armount of glucose into the blood, when you get cortisol spike from HIIT. Also, as you stated, you get glucose resistant, the longer you stay in (deep) ketosis (adapted, not temporary). And once you get really glucose depleted, doing those HIITS becomes torture... BTW, your recovery capacity is amazing, even for your age! If you go to doctor like this and do a glucose stress test or a morning glucose test, he will probably misdiagnose you as a pre-diabetic :-D (happened to me)

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Thank you for the insight!

[@TheIntuitiveBodyFoodieNetwork]

Congratulations Thomas!! Thank you for all your precision & measuring during this bone broth fast, as that is not something I typically do. I learned so much about my own body through you doing this fast, in particular 19:38-20:29 about instant fluid weight gain post fast, which typically levels out after a few days. That said, I'm still VERY CURIOUS to know if adding electrolytes (potassium, magnesium in particular) to your bone broth might have yielded different results. Is suppose this is something I will experiment with myself. Still, because you're much more 'measuring' in your approach, perhaps I can encourage you to do yet another 3 day bone broth fast later in the year to help me better understand my own body. With much gratitude & love for all that you be & do ... 🤗

[@garyball1256]

I got so cold by day three as well. Odd, I did not lose any weight but the fat around my belly and back is a lot more squishy. At your recommendation I will eat normal for a few days the do three days of IF. Hope that helps the weight loss. Thanks for doing this, I really enjoyed it.

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Thank you for playing with me!!!

[@saganaja]

Great video Thomas! I’ve just made my own bone broth and will begin my fast tomorrow. 👌🏼

[@JohnThunder]

Interesting results Thomas! Bone Broth fasting certainly works good. I come from the carnivore diet 20 weeks in so far. I done a 4 day fast, from Monday to Thursday, ( first day water fast, followed by 3 days bone broth fast), first and 2nd day I trained at the gym (full body workouts), the 3rd day only light cardio in the park and on 4th day no training. I really enjoyed this experience. By the 3rd day I was having no hunger issues but my body temperature dropped and I was getting a bit colder. I also noticed increased mental clarity and I was very calm and relaxed. On the 4th day I was getting used to having only bone broth. I broke my fast at 96 hours with 3 eggs prepared in grass fed butter and I could not eat anymore feeling full, there was no hunger feeling at all. It was a good experiment for myself, I enjoyed it :)

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Glad you had fun with it!

[@lindaguerra638]

Wow, Thomas you had an interesting journey! 😂 I went in great, felt the effects, I had great data. I did not have any desire to binge or do any crazy eating after. I am way more mindful. 💪🏼💪🏼 Thank you so much! 🎄

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

You're welcome!

[@4311446]

Excellent information. Really useful. Thank you

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Thank you for watching!

[@JeffPiascik]

Just wrapped up my first ever extended fast, went from Thursday night midnight to Monday morning. Broke the fast at 11am. 83hrs. Didn’t have any pea protein on hand, so I broke the fast with a non-dairy banana creme muscle milk and added a half scoop of vegan cafe latte shakeo powder to it. Was that a reasonable option? Tried to avoid dairy as you said and made it easily digestible.

[@hackedNPCPIN]

Does that baby even lift? I'm asking the real questions here

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

He's kind of a beast

[@gliderrider]

That’s interesting. I’m obese yet my daily readings were very similar to yours and I lost 4 pounds at the end. It later ended up being about one real pound lost. I’m sick of bone broth though a can’t see myself ever doing that again. Regular water fast is easier although this was my first 3 day fast. I usually do 48 hours. This one was 80.

[@CeceDeAnn]

I just finished my 3 day water fast (well tonight will be the end.) I’m going to do 3 days broth, then switch to chicken & broth soup, & salad for a week, then clean dairy free low carb eating 😊 (lost 5lbs) For this fast did you use your MCT bone broth recipe? Or plain broth?

[@manjofpv1975]

Superb vid thanks! Still learning every day. Can you show us how to make a cold brew coffee youreself?

[@caitlinparisi4649]

Where were you hiking? Never seen mountains in my life before. Looks like a beautiful part of the country !

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Sunny California!

[@nunaurbizness3495]

When I get ready to fast, I will drink edible clay which will push all the toxins out of the bowels. Fasts can be a problem when it comes to elimination. Clay adds a ton of bulk besides absorbing toxins. Be sure to hydrate the clay first. 1 tablespoon of edible clay hydrated in 8 oz of water for several hours is the best way. Great stuff.

[@jnnaketi]

Does this (peripheral Insulin Resistance) apply to IF? My glucose levels are always in the 90s, sometimes in the 110s, but my ketones are in the 2.7 +

[@athanasiostsioplakis6932]

Thank you the glucose and ketone readings. I am in a water fast right now and my glucose is staying pretty flat. Almost through day 2

[@mathewengineri1003]

I really enjoyed your recap. I have a few thoughts and questions. I may have only made it through 48 hours of my attempt though I learned that my body went through this hyper fat burning process. I am continuing to burn major fat stores in my body even though I finished my bone broth fast and kind of let the last few days not worry so. Much about eating Keto. I wish I had a to measure this. I am down to 161 pounds today, Saturday, December 23rd. I was at 170 on the day I started my Bone Broth fast. That's 9 pounds in just over a week with actually not eating pure Keto. Lots of questions there I am not sure how to answer. My biggest question for you is can you explain more about what are the proper number levels of Ketones being produced in the body. I would like a much deeper understanding of these numbers as I am trying to find a inexpensive way to check them through blood testing. Thanks Thomas for everything and I am lock in everyday to your channel!

[@rosegang9852]

Mathew Engineri hi ! What did you put in your broth and how many cups a day ?

[@lj32920]

I've been "eating" a beef broth soup (a cup of broth with 2/3 cup of picante sauce) and some occasional boiled eggs for two weeks, and I've lost about a pound a day. I have two "meals" a day.

[@kathleenjones8501]

This was such a helpful video for me. I have found that when I do a longer fast I experience an afterburner effect of higher ketones.

[@pfbcygnus]

I do relate to his readings for glucose and ketones which are going up/down. I broke water fasting today 8:am with a big cup of bone broth. I was planning on 3 days water fasting if I did not reach the numbers needed for autophagy. I do fasting based on getting the autophagy markers instead going by the days. I followed the Dr. Seyfried formula for Therapeutic Ketosis or Autophagy which has a formula and is to have a result of 1 or less (glucose/18)/(ketones) =

[@nichovdal2097]

Hey Thomas! Always enjoy your videos and other content. I've been doing keto with internment fasting since early Aug and couldn't be happier with my results having dropped nearly 45 lbs... Rather quickly! I have a question in regards to getting to deep into keto. I frequently find myself with ketone levels in excess of 8. Do you have any pointers or rational as to why this is happening with me and how to combat it effectively? Is this causing more harm then good? Thanks again for the input and continued knowledge. -Nic

[@fastingmotivation4331]

Great Video....super inspirational!

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!!

[@shoramobin6628]

Very inspiring! You stated that your blood glucose was high after breaking your fast because you were so insulin sensitive. Can you explain why that happens? I thought that being insulin sensitive would cause your blood glucose to be low since your cells are very receptive to insulin and would take up the glucose immediately after eating. Thanks.

[@tastymealsandtreats]

Little Thomas is soooooo cute and adorable! Love his sweet smile! 😊 Going to try a 3 day bone broth fast starting tomorrow...

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

He's mine and you can't have him lol. Tell me how it goes!

[@tastymealsandtreats]

Lol. Will do 👍

[@stocksreview6168]

You are really a legend Thomas! Your videos are really of high quality despite advertising for products directly. Really looking forward for your vegan month!! And can you compare your recommanded fishes (US Haddock,California and Pacific Halibut,Alaska Cod, Pacific Sardines, Wild Alaskan Salmon, Mussels) and make a ranking? And is crab meat(snow crab legs, cooked) a good source of protein? Keep up the good work!!

[@sirkrutchbluesman3009]

I LOVE CRAB MEAT

[@spaghelle]

Loved this for so many reasons! Thank you for the science.

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Thank you for watching!

[@tt260]

I also noticed peripheral glucose resistance in my own results. My basal fasting glucose increased after I started keto diet (3 months later) . I wonder if Thomas can consider to do a vid on peripheral glucose resistance and if it has some potential implications in term of energy flexibility (using either fat or sugar) or if poses higher risk to people with certain conditions, particularly, elevated level of glucose is mimicking the blood scenario of someone having insulin resistance and high blood glucose.

[@SuperAtheist]

Have you considered doing a 30 day zero carb zero fiber animal source food diet? i.e no plants but plain coffee or tea is fine. what do you think of this type of diet?
