Prolonged Water Fasting Q&A Dr. Alan Goldhamer

How did you find it?

[@mellasone]

I water fasted for 21 days at home, it was absolutely an awesome experience, all the way I did test glucose/ketone levels, I had lots of uncomfortable symptoms but I was happy that my body was cleaning house and trying to heal, I know most of the repair occurs when you star re-feeding that is why is so important to eat real healthy after the fast. I want to do it again because the health benefits are amazing

[@ГітаЗахир]

What health benefits did you notice ?

[@kyliemccarthy7408]

Hi Mellasone, did you have salt of a day or do anything else besides not eat. You drank filtered water or reverse osmosis water im gathering- did you do anything else? Id like to do a fast at home like you did.

[@rutvickpedamkar]

Re feeding after the fast is as important as fasting itself. Eating home cooked healthy meals and avoiding junk food for at least the same duration of the fast is needed.

[@elenahristoskova8747]

When you test the ketone levels how were they at the end of the fast?

[@zibtihaj3213]

Which part or say was the hardest ? Plus did u drink black coffee or tea during the fast ?

[@carbonpictures]

MY story. I went to bed Sunday night after eating a pizza, big bag of chips, 6 pack of beer and a couple cocktails. Woke up Monday at 7. Fell back asleep. Got back up at 11 and had to cancel work. Felt so horrible I decided to stop everything and go on a fast. I had done one 10 years ago for 3 days and knew I'd feel great after a couple days. I stayed on for 128 hours till Saturday morning. I went from 155lbs to 144.2lbs. I did moderate exercise for an hour as much as my body would handle. TRUTH- this time I felt out of it till Friday. It's now saturday morning as I type and I'm drinking coffee and going to eat in about an hour. I feel like a new man...Fasting works- even if you dont do it right- it's the hardest "easy" thing you'll ever do.

[@healthyogiusa]

According to Dr. Goldhammer, total rest is needed or you burn muscle. Glad that worked for you. Coffee also a diuretic, so not a good that until a while after finishing fast.

[@Janet_Price]

Wow Dillon, this was a great interview. I've been vegan for 5 years, but HCLF for 3+ My father died from issues related to Crohn's disease and when I became symptomatic, rather than take pills as he did, I did my own elimination diet. When I removed dairy, within one week, all cramps, bloating and pain was GONE! Yes, Dr. Goldhamer is correct - pain is a great reason for maintenance. Going back to a SAD diet is not an option for me. I cannot wait for the other interviews, they are motivating and reaffirming. Thanks again.

[@WellYourWorld]

Glad you liked the interview! That is great to hear about the changes you have made; once a person experiences this, I think most would never go back and the ones that do probably don't actually want to but are still battling the pleasure trap.

[@Janet_Price]

Scyn bear - Sorry you misread what I wrote. I did not become vegan overnight, I became vegan gradually through an elimination diet. First, I stopped eating beef, then chicken, then fish. This took place over a matter of time. I also stopped eating processed foods, salt, sodas and fast food. The timeline is not important nor is the length of time it took to accomplish all this. What is important is to emphasize that when I removed dairy AND thereby become vegan at that point, all Crohn's symptoms disappeared for good. Again, I became vegan AFTER I removed dairy from my diet. I am living happily ever after...........

[@WellYourWorld]

❤️

[@Janet_Price]

Scyn bear - Hi, my father ate the Standard American Diet (SAD). He picked out the fat from the meat he ate because it bothered him and I don't remember how much dairy he ate, but I remember his funny eating habits. He didn't eat much junk food, but the food he ate bothered him and he was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Not one doctor told him to modify his diet, they just prescribed pills, pills and more pills. After too many years of treatment but not any modification, he died. I believe if he had become vegan, he'd have lived so much longer as he was active for many years.

[@mules8662]

@@pitchyyen7474 My biggest tip for a beginner is to not stress. I began fasting by doing 2, then 3 day fasts now and again. Over the course of half a year, I attempted my first prolonged one, which was 8 days. I spent another year doing a couple of fasts that lasted between 6 and 8 days with some shorter ones in between until I finally went full in and completed 21 days. Go at your own pace. Expect to feel awful at times, but by no means push your body over the edge. You will know what’s right for you. Good luck!

I just started a 16 hours off, 8 hours on eating plan (WFPB - SOS). Usually I go even longer without food because I am more mindful and not eating out of habit, but only when I am actually hungry. Water and herbal teas are my friends.

[@truthseeker4504]

How was your mind after day 30?

[@danyburlacu825]

The key to a good interviewer is not making the interviewee feel uncomfortable by staring at him intently while he answers your questions. I understand that might be because you feel pressured by the interview, or trying to keep in mind questions you need to ask, or things like that. Try mimicking some of the emotions or body language that he's showing. Dr. Goldhamer is a pretty easy person to mimick because he smiles so often and has such a positive body language that you can't really go wrong, unless you do the exact thing you did and that is: show no emotion whatsoever xD Good knowledge, thanks for sharing!

I didn't know the program included chiro adjustments. The staff seems so good. I grew up in Sonoma County, but didn't know about True North while I lived there. I would like to try the 7 day fast sometime, even though, like you, I don't have weight to lose. I would think it would be so hard to keep warm during the fast, I would want to do it while temp's are warm, like you did. I can't imagine doing it in the middle of winter in Montana. Sounds like you slept fine, but do a lot of people have problems sleeping during a fast? I would think the hunger would keep me up. Thanks for the videos, you are really good at making them. Hope your dad is doing well. I wish my parents and husband would change the way they eat. Maybe I can get my mom to go with me to true north or to the mcdougall program.

[@WellYourWorld]

I think the people that have some trouble sleeping are the ones going through some more significant internal corrections than I would have experienced. For me, the hunger was nothing, only lasted 1 day. For others that is not the case. I'm excited to tell you that next month my mom is even going to True North! She is already very healthy, but wants to experience the fast and the lectures, the food, etc. Very exciting.

[@Elizabeth-dg8dn]

Great news about your mom. My mom just started taking a statin last year for high ldl. I'd love for her to learn there is another way. Is there a reason you chose true north over the mcdougall program to take your dad to?

[@WellYourWorld]

McDougall is so expensive and I wanted to experience the fast. For my dad, he had been eating the healthy food for about a year but still was not acquiring the taste for it, so the fast really helped him to adapt his taste buds to the no salt.

[@khabose2948]

Elizabeth you won’t be hungry all day and night. I’m on day 5 and have felt hunger once each day and not very strong hunger also I do get cold easier but for the most part I sleep like I’ve been drugged and my energy is usually best in the morning. But I’m still able to walk 1-3 miles per day usually in late afternoon!

[@berenicebajoleyva8964]

The doctors need to explain that this is the most natural thing to do to heal … dogs do it for example … we store fat for when no food would be available … but people get scared and thing is a extreme thing to do because they keep saying that you have to do it under supervision.

HUGE fan of fasting! On a sidenote: There are absolutely zero controlled scientific studies showing that meat is unhealthy. The theory that meat is unhealthy is based on epidemiology surveys, which should never be used to prove anything. But if you ARE a fan of "correlation equals causation", then here's a Fun fact: Hong Kong has the highest average life expectancy in the world AND the highest meat consumption per capita in the world. But don't take my word for it, look it up.... or don't.

Fascinating, been experimenting with intermittent fasting at home, cause it's safer, even that has benefits.

[@WellYourWorld]

Intermittent fasting and water fasting are pretty different though. Usually with intermittent fasting you are not waiting until your body is in ketosis and then keeping it there while it cleanses. Intermittent fasting can be great for people trying to lose weight or change some of their habits, but the benefits of prolonged fasting are pretty unique. I'm not at all suggesting you change anything you are doing, just wanted to clarify is all.

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

I think I managed to hit the ketosis,though weightloss isn't a goal in my case.

[@WellYourWorld]

Right this is not for weight loss. I gained all my weight back.

Whatever, being in ketosis while still eating is very different of water fasting, the body is not self-healing/cleansing as much because your body is using a lot of energy for digestion~

What I want to know is if someone is let's say obese/ overweight with no health conditions and normal vitals and such after fasting for say an extended period of maybe a month, would they be at risk of developing diabetes because their blood glucose is low? Or any other major health conditions?

[@omstygomsty]

Great video. What about fasting for osteoarthritis and cartilage problems? Can fasting heal these issues?

[@meleximoon6974]

james hartnett yep

[@jorgecarrejo7562]

How can a skinny person fast for 70 straight days with only water ??? Would love to see a case where a skinny person did that and didn't die...

[@lainielandry163]

Why do you get dizzy when fasting and what can you do about it ?

[@halvil9299]

Add salt to water.

[@user-xb9nj8yo8t]

First few days dizziness is expected .take it easy lay in bed. Minimum movement . U can meditate take deep breaths read etc. After the 3rd day things get much easier and energy comes back but that doesn't mean u go and run 😁. Good luck

[@god563616]

What about organ transplant patients can they fast?

[@sabrinadamato_and_...]

What about tahine and evoo? Are those bad fat sources?

[@briandavis5771]

Does anyone know when it comes to water fasting what type of water is best? Should we be using spring water, distilled, reverse osmoses or re-mineralized distilled?

[@kingsithale9851]

Any pure water is fine but after few days drink them warm. I have completed 10 days fast using warm tape water

[@gabrielekennedy6123]

Love the shirt

[@allenmiller2071]

I'm curious about long term fasting when your healthy and don't need to lose any weight. How many days would be enough to allow your body to get rid of any residual toxins and do maintance healing?

[@WellYourWorld]

A week. That is what I did last year and that is what Dr. Goldhamer says all of his staff generally do, including him. I hope to do one week per year for maintenance. Check out my summary video on my channel about my fast at True North.

[@allenmiller2071]

That's a long time. Two days I had a slight headache. I would be afraid I would lose 5 pounds if I fasted a week. I think I'll try 3 days and see how that goes.

[@WellYourWorld]

Yes, do 3 days as a try out. But don't worry about the weight loss. You will gain it all back right away. I lost 15 pounds in a week and I gained it all back in a week or less. Watch my summary video.

[@dlbdlb3919]

Dr Goldhamer it would be wonderful is your staff answered the phone or at least returned your call

[@helpingman4442]

Does fasting improve muscle growth?

[@WellYourWorld]

I have not read anything that refers to this before. I imagine it could help after a fast, but I don't imagine it would be anything other than a negligible impact, but again, I am just guessing. I have absolutely no idea.

[@gabrielekennedy6123]

🤣🤣🤣😂 ad for drinking olive oil... algorithm got that wrong. 🤣😂

[@AnnaAliyeva]

I experience nausea and that’s what stops me from reaching my goal 😔

[@ixxgxx]

On day 5

[@EvaAnika]

Never understood his anti-salt stance. Is there any benefit to Salt? Electrolytes perhaps?

[@Jeremybearmy]

Agree I don’t understand the no salt

[@Crazydoglady.]

HAHA.... Great interview !! :)

[@WellYourWorld]

+tattooed vegan he explained that in this interview. Did you not like the explanation?

[@Crazydoglady.]

I'm sorry, I'm loving the interview .I'm only halfway through, I didn't think you'd answer me so fast.. LOL..I was gonna erase my comment if he addressed it.. I just didn't want to forget my question.. :)

[@WellYourWorld]

tattooed vegan haha now you can’t erase it! You gotta own it now! 😆

[@azzamjaber7014]

Sheri you have a fabulous playlist..

[@dawn123-h9t]

At the end of third day,i started vomiting(yellowish water).And at the fourth day,i had too much heart beat..So i was scared and i broke my fast....Had anybody have such symptoms?..I want to know if it is normal i start fasting again next month for 10 days.

[@veresdoloresz]

Hey, n how was it? Im not sure about vomiting but the heartbeat should be okey,,,what did u do after?

[@mustapbaazizi7671]

Probably you had too much water to drink

[@andienantz]

You must replace minerals. Pink salt, no salt (potassium), buy it next to the salt. Some kind of magnesium. Several teaspoons of each daily
