After successfully completing a 48-hour fast, can I eat whenever I want? If so, how long can I do it before starting a long fast again without gaining back what I've already lost during the first fasting? Let's say I can eat whenever I want, does that mean I can also eat whatever I want? Including chocolate or rice? Thank you! FYI. I currently weigh 121kg.

Dr Berg doesn’t reference the studies like this guy does (I’m not saying that Berg violates the studies, just saying that it’s an advantage of Tom’s videos)…however I think that Dr Berg’s one video on what happens inside your body during a 72 hour fast is more enjoyable to watch while on a fast. He has the CGI throughout the video and that gets you more excited because you’re watching little CGI clips of your body going into hyper healing mode lol. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJnQpaJ3jruFidE

@@wirefreez hey i have had a flickering spot in my eye for the past 5 months, its not a floater and has similar symptoms of a torn retina. ive been to an eye doctor and he said he doesnt see any signs of a detached retina and wanted me to see a retina specialist. i havent done that yet. Im not too familiar with pvd, could that be the issue?

[@wirefreez]

@@BringMeTheHorizonnn Hi - PVD (post vitreous detachment) is a pulling away of part of the film at the back of the eyeball - sort of like a wrinkle in cellophane - and it causes a permanent floater which has the effect of like looking through cobwebs, It doesn't flicker for me but I would definitely ask your retina specialist about it. There is a simple test they can do with an electronic instrument that photographs the back of your eye. Wishing you well.

I’m type 1 diabetic Would a long term fast be too dangerous and create a hypoglycemic situation,? Ones insulin sensitivity could change quickly,Thus basal rate might be to strong and cause low blood sugar. I do do intermittent fasting, I skip breakfast. But have a really hard time keeping my blood sugar from going really low when I exercise. Which gets frustrating because I have to have a juice box to prevent low but put the calories back on.😕😕😕

[@krissymoon8633]

Isabella kelsay there is a documentary on Netflix about fasting that reviews this and many other questions. From what I gathered it can help people suffering with diabetes. My grandpa has it also, and I wish he would heed my advice about his eating habits so he could help himself but people who aren’t aware of this stuff... they think it’s absurd. I hope fasting helps you! Maybe that documentary will provide you some nice info (:

Sarah Smile I just jumped into a water prolonged fast. I’m on 71 hours, one more to go. The first day was tough, cravings and headaches come and go. It gets way easier after the first 48 hrs. I feel great! I’m almost dreading eating again, first meal will be a salad.

[@peteallennh]

Thomas, I can’t thank you enough for this video. Everything one needs to know about extended fasting, all rolled up into a single, compact, perfect presentation. I just finished a 48-hour fast, and you are %100 on the money when you say it’s easier to take the airplane off from a keto runway. I did NOT know about the vitamin component or the superhydration. I will be fasting the first 2-3 days of every month from now on, and I will be happily sipping matcha while doing so. You. Are. Awesome.

[@agilityhacker]

Wow, just blown away with the quality of this well constructed narrative with an excellent level of detail which was easy to follow. I've been fasting (OMAD) for a couple of months with just 2 x 72 hours fasting and indeed got the benefits of going from 89 kg (196lbs) to 73 kg (160lbs) for 182.5cm (6ft) aged 54, bringing all my weight metrics in the green zone (only still need to lose 0.5 kg on visercal fat:). Adding a little salt to my water indeed prevents me having a feeling of faintness which I experienced on day 3 of my first fast. Thomas, this was the first video I saw from you but immediately subscribed. Looking forward to more excellent content. Thank you ! Tom

You will do fine. One time I got sick and didn’t eat for over two weeks. All of what he said happened, but I did okay. Lost 15 lbs though, but once I got over my sickness….. I gained it back because I wasn’t trying to do it on purpose.

My 48 hr fast first time in my 50 y life! Not having results after 16.4 IMF. I am very dizzy & light headed. This is a huge victory as I am insulin resistant & pre diabetic. I am not a normal faster. I have these issues working against me 1) chronic high level of cortisol 2) hysterectomy early menopause 3) chronic fatigue & fibromyalgia hence taking SSRIs & morphine long term. So still not feeling great at all. Feel nauseous, sweaty and shaky

[@BallisticStigmata]

I was one of those guys who had a hell of a time losing weight. I'd have to be PERFECT with my diet and do HIIT between weight lifting and be insanely consistent. If I stopped any of those things I'd pack on weight rather fast. After just two months of intermittent fasting; 24 hours two-to-three times per week, I am losing weight and keeping it off much easier, even if my diet isn't perfect. Saves on the food bill too. Love it.

By the 36th hour, the hunger pains had, for the most part subsided, and my brain function skyrocketed. I'm feeling pretty confident in reaching the 72 hour milestone. I may go farther.

Hi Thomas. I started with a prolonged fasting cycle on 1 November. It worked as follows: I had a meal on a Tuesday Evening. My next meal was on a Thursday evening, and the following one on a Saturday evening. Then I did a 16/8 on the Sunday. I did this for 4 weeks. The last two weeks I had a meal on Tuesday evening, then on Thursday evening, and then on Saturday evening. It thus related to a 48 hour, another two 48 hour fasts, and a 72 hour fast. In this time I lost 13 kg’s.

[@arallskiant9923]

@@Acularis no they are not a thing and if you want you can avoid them. Oxalate is made by the body and the problem with a kind of stone they do with calcium come from methionine(amino acid quite abundant in animal products). Though uric acid is also an issue (see gouts etc and why your doctor will tell you to avoid animals prot) . Methionine that also cause problem in the guts (sulfides etc) eventhough proteins in general do not ferment well(putrification). Many bacterias also take care of oxalates( if you actually do not feed yourself too much on meat). Phytates also does some good things (for bones etc) but overall we talk of such stakeless and minor topic of nutrition here... Maybe you have hypochondria or base your beliefs on your own"feeling"(anecdotal evidence is a fallacy). If you are one of the rare people with health problems of digestions kind, and if you tried a balance diet full of plants but think it fail, then i wish you the best in all the weird esoteric paths you take.

[@panpiper]

@@lenkaawad536 It sounds to me like you are experiencing carb withdrawal, the typical 'keto flu' a lot of people go through when their body is first adjusting to no carbs. When you are not fasting, are you eating keto or at least low carb (less than 100 grams of carbs a day)? If you are not, if your diet is normally high carb, then I would say that is definitely what is happening, you are quitting your fast just as you are going into actual ketosis, which is when you start to gain the 'real' benefits of the fast. For the full benefits of fasting, assuming my theory is correct, you either need to figure out how to get past this hump, or you need to go keto in your normal diet so your body can get used to ketosis. Keto flu usually only lasts a few days, and it's symptoms are much more easily dealt with when you can eat (meats, fats, etc.) than when you can't eat anything. I did a month and a half of OMAD 'before' I went keto. While it was and is a good practice, I did not notice any of my health issues improving during that time. When I added being keto to that, most of my issues vanished within a week or two.
