Have you ever tried fasting? Share your experience.

[@marilynsik8959]

Hello Sadhguru . I was watching on you tube about fasting with Dr Jason Fung and Dr Pradip Jamnadas. I was motivated to do it . Normally if I don’t eat I passed out. But no I was wrong. Firstly I started with twice a day meal then one meal a day then 48 hrs then 3 days fasting recently. I felt amazing. I thought I couldn’t do it but I did. Self control and self discipline is the essence. I decided to do it for my own health sake as I have cancer. And everyday I listen to Sadhguru . He keeps me going in life . Thank you.

[@Sophia-js5mr]

Yes, I love it in a good way

[@vvsur5sh]

Yes, I did 24 hr fast for every day , meaning - eat only after 24hrs , no meals or snacks or juices in between 0 to 24th hr . I did this for 20- 30 days , my exp is : I could think clearly , calm, relaxed, speech and clarity of opinion or statement made in meetings was articulate.

[@staceystrukel1917]

It takes energy to digest food and some would say that this is wasting our energy. Foods that are easy to digest and support the body heal, the rest do damage and are hard on the body and bring toxins. Higher intelligence says we would live much longer if we didn't waste our body's energy on digestion.

@@CristyanBernardesI healed my skin over several months of dry fasting every weekend one or two days, my wrist and back, once both times two days. These situations of healing to dry fast occured over several years. Prep is crucial in how efficient your dry fast will be.

That's fine. Just make sure there's at least 3 Protein (meat, fish, Chicken) Vegetable Grain When I was intermittent fasting I'd eat everyday at exactly 6:00-6:30pm. I'd eat anything I wanted and still lost weight. As long as it's under like 1500cal which is a lot for one meal. I didn't lift weights at the gym because it's kinda useless as you aren't getting a lot of protein. I just ran 3 miles every other day of the week at the gym. I lost 30lbs in 2 months and didn't suffer one bit. Drinking a gallon of water a day is very important. Adding a small pinch of salt to it every morning.

I have been having one meal a day from last one month, results are amazing and improving my health conditions. Once in a week, I am completely on Fruit diet and that's helping me more. I am much more energetic with loads of stamina and helping me remain active and alert. Request everyone to start more with fruits on empty stomach and slowly go on increasing the fruit content by skipping your breakfast then evening meal. But do this gradually as our body is not so habitual. Then as per your body's capacity go on increasing the intermittent fasting which is minimum 8 hours gap between meals. You may go up to 18 hours gradually and steadily. Keep on experimenting as per your body's need. As Sadhguru said that Hunger will reduce your energy and Empty stomach will keep you active and alert. We must be able to identify this nature of our body. Avoid any drastic change. All the best.👍

Points -never drink liquids with food as it dilates the acid necessary to digest -conscious eating should be encouraged ie eating only when I really want to -once or twice a month go on really light diet or if you can just water, lemon water or honey water or fruits only

I'm 23 years old. I noticed when I start eating ''Natural foods and lower the carb'' and do 18 hour fast , I get a more stable mood aswell as my craving and sexual impulses become weaker which helps me with my Nofap journey . I still have wet dreams. also my focus is improved alot after 2-3 days of 18 hour fast and eating healthy i notice that.

[@kdauniverse]

Very good. I’m 22 and on my 3rd dae of a liquid fast. Upon getting up I go out for jogs as well to tire out my body and then take a 5 minute cold shower. I’m refreshed and more focused. Our guts are lying to us, only wanting to consume what it’s used to but not what it actually needs.

Fasting is only a treatment and has a role in cleaning the body for the mistakes made in eating. If we were meant to only fast then why were we given a stomach in the 1st place? What will happen if you make the same mistakes in eating even after getting through the fast?

This is exactly why i went on a high carb, low-fat fruit diet. I feel better both physically and mentally now in my 30s then i ever did in my 20s. I used to have to use drugs to be able to feel normal and not im on zero medications food has replaced the drugs and yoga has replaced many years of therapy that never fully worked for me. It gave me much insight into who i am, but it never made the ptsd lesson, whereas yoga has completely transformed my mind, body, and spirit.

I am doing 19/20 hours fasting , with electrolytes, since 2 months. My energy enhanced as if I am on steroids. My dermatitis, which I was suffering since years, reduced by 95% WITHOUT any medicines. Needless to mention I lost 5 kilos in 6 weeks.

[@webhelpbyvarghab]

Summary of the video - 1. Four processes - Ingestion, digestion, assimilation, and excretion. 2. Ingestion is continuously happening but digestion and excretion are not as efficient as ingestion. 3. Unlike most of our body functions, ingestion should be voluntary, but we have made the ingestion process compulsive. 4. Simply denying food and water can cause damage to the system, we must follow certain practices to support fasting. 5. Our body’s energy doesn’t only come from food, it comes from air, sunlight, and water. 6. In yogic science, 60-70 percent of energy should come from sunlight, air, and water if we want to keep our body well. 7. If you drink any liquid along with your food, the acids that are necessary for the digestive process will get diluted. 8. In the yogic culture, food shouldn’t stay in the stomach for more than 2.5 hours, it must go into other parts. 9. In a month, one or two times we must go on lighter food, maybe water, lemon, or a little bit of honey-laced water. We can also do fruit fasting. 10. The whole idea is to give the digestive process a break so that the other parts of the body can function well and excrete.

My wife naggs me more than I can handle. So I hope this fast can not only fix that but rewire my biochemistry new again. I originally planned a week but as of now I feel strong and maybe am considering 30 to 40 days. I just can’t be 100% on the time I wanna do.

Love the comments. When I was much younger I use to fast a lot once I fasted for 43 days. Now that I'm older I constantly fast one or two days at a time but they are unscheduled I just don't want food. So not sure if it actually counts as a fast since it's my body not my mind deciding no solids, or no food at all, I even have days I just want brought if I do not follow my body I get issues the next day.

[@wait4meluvv]

Your body has gotten used to the schedule.. we don't necessarily need as much food our body desires it as a hobby- maybe a habit even. and only eat when you need energy and are doing something. If you do not need nothing to do then you will surely not need food to sit around, and just be there..
