Fasting: 4 types of Fasts and How Often to Do Each- Thomas DeLauer

[@Monk_Mode_Master]

😍🥰😁 Maaaan I'm so happy I discovered fasting... Before fasting I felt like I was dying. my body was rapidly deteriorating. High blood pressure, high triglycerides, arthritis in my knees and shoulder, Inflammation, depression with minor suicidal thoughts and I'm only 34... In as little as 4 months with a mixture of Intermittent and prolonged fasting I went from 225lbs to 185lbs(I'm 5"9 by the way) High blood pressure 100% GONE, high triglycerides levels 100% GONE, arthritis 100% GONE, Inflammation 100% GONE, depression 100% GONE, sucidal thoughts 100% GONE!!! My doctor said " whatever is you've been doing KEEP IT UP!!!" it's safe to say this fasting journey saved my life 😁🙌🏾

i did a OMAD style of fasting,since 30 days, i believe fasting has brought me a sense to understand my body.

[@DarthTerminatti]

I'm still on OMAD, and to be quite honest, it's the best thing to happen me. At 49 years old, I've not felt this great in a long time.

[@fayesmith4751]

[@eyeamusic]

How many calories do you guys eat? I really like this style of fasting too, but I don't want to slow my metabolism by eating too low of calories. Wish he would have talked about this.

[@DarthTerminatti]

@@eyeamusic I eat around 1800-2400 a day. I know that's a big meal, but I do a good amount of weight training. My body had really responded to this diet.

[@catdeprived]

I'm fasting for a week now and still wondering about this and that. Now this guy says not to fast every day. I'm doing 16/8 atm, so should I fast every other day? Or just keep doing it every day as long as I eat my BMR calories?

[@inidbil7277]

I am muslim and I've been fasting since I was six years old and I'm 39 now.....so it's easy and the benefits are real. when I was young during our fast we played basketball soccer etc after class for hours....no food or water from sunrise to sunset and it didn't bother me or my friends...and now I go to work and no problems....by the way I was a general manager at a chain restaurant for 10 years and all that tasty food didn't bother me me....fasting is more cerebral than visceral

@INID Bil Are you talking about fasting during Ramadan? If so, that isn’t really fasting, as it often lasts for only some 14 hours or so. Also, most Muslims eat quite voraciously in ‘preparation’ for the ‘fasting’, so, again, it doesn’t really count.

[@BraykwonTheChef]

Thomas, loves the videos. I lost 120 lbs in 5 months and I believe 80% of my success was due to a prolonged fasting period followed by OMAD lifestyle change. The prolonged fasting period changed how I think about food and it became a smaller part of life. I didn’t stress about when are what I was eating anymore. I just tried to eat enough at the end of the day. Sometimes skipping food until lunch the next day. It feels nice to have control of your appetite and stabilize your ghrelin. Luckily I actually enjoy healthy food, but when I was struggling with life, I ate fast food once a day. 4 McDonald’s burgers, a large fry sometimes two, and a coke/Diet Coke, and still kept all the weight off and actually continued to lose more. I truly believe fasting, and hormone control is the backbone of health and energy utilization. Everything between only stacks the benefits or nullifies them. I also paid attention to what I ate for a while. I ate less carbs, much more Capsaicin, I watched a lot of your videos about food and nutrient utilization which helped me understand the basics of eating, metabolism, and overall body health. I smoked a shit ton of weed too. Sometimes an O a week, which studies have suggested increased your metabolism. It doesn’t make me hungry. I guess it helps me feel balanced. I have a bit of a mood problem lmao I used it to motivate myself and keep myself disciplined. I enjoyed hitting the gym high af. I’ve never enjoyed cardio until I did it high. Your videos also helped me understand how I wanted to train and further my health by using fasting, and a dedicated gym strategy. You’re awesome dude. I appreciate your videos and thank you for sharing the knowledge. You’ve helped change my life.

[@nailezoupani]

I fast every single day, intermittent fasting eating in a 2 hour window and fasting 22 hours and it has cured me of all my metabolic issues that i had and i shed 40kg...thank you Thomas for these wonderful videos..you inspire me so much, so much so that I also have created a channel on these same issues.

[@ShaunPPatterson]

I've done water fasting on and off in the past ranging from 1 day to 21 days. I then started 16/8 intermittent fasting for the last 2 years while eating a ketogenic diet. I tried dry fasting last year and lasted 2 days. Today I am done with day 2 and going on day 3 of dry fasting AFTER water fasting 2 days. I want to go 2 to 3 more days dry fasting then start drinking juices and switch to smoothies, then back to a normal diet.

i Just finished my 48 hrs of dry fasting o my Lord!!.. It was the hardest think I ever did, I was able to lose 4lbs I just start eating light soups blended with some nutrition on it like Lentil or Quinoa soups. I am planing on doing the Intermittent Fasting.

[@Username01invalid]

if you managed to do 48hrs fasting, intermittent fasting should be a breeze.. you can do it!

[@Patbach]

I understand Thomas needs to protect himself by telling people to talk to their doctors before doing this and that. But most doctors still tell people to spread lots of small meal throughout the day, and weirdly most of them don't even understand the benefits of fasting, and will tell you that's bad for you. Now imagine telling them about prolonged or even dry fasting, it's very rare you'll find a doctor knowledgeable enough to allow anyone to do that.

[@madimakes]

Pathebach the harsh reality.

[@martykirby7311]

Of course the doctors will say it's unsafe and or dangerous because if you're healthy they will lose patients. It's all about the money for doctors and the big pharmaceutical companies.

[@suzannedu419]

You're your own boss and have the ultimate control over your body. Tell doc what you're doing and he/she will have no choice (if they care about you as a patient) but to ensure blood work and all other vitals are good during your fast.

[@Lasharella]

This is most valuable comment on this or any other diet related matter, kudos, People be advised doctors have prevented many people getting on Keto and Fasting thus have caused so many desperate good people who needed to lose wait from this amazing life style of keto/IF, just start slow adapt to it and experiment with your body by listening to it and you will literally Taylor it so it precisely suits you and your lifestyle, good luck on your journey Keto/IF is the only and true way!

[@Flowmada]

Yeah he has to tell people to be safe and that he isn't a doctor. You can choose to do what you want until something goes wrong and you go to the Dr and tell them you were fasting so that's the reason when really it was the metabolic disorder and your body wasn't able to adapt fast enough but with some smaller fasts before working up to a prolonged fast you would have been successful and cured your metabolic disease

5:2 dry fasting (with intense workout) is the best option. I did Keto for 2 months, results were amazing, shed off around 50 lbs real fast, then switched to 5:2 dry fasting when I reached the weight I want. Still losing fat, feeling really good, and actually got used to it so I don't feel tired. True, I do lose water mass gained by the carbs I consume. The 5:2 fast I do is not for 24 hours, but 18 hours then I do REALLY low carb (1 or 3 dates, then a chicken breast or steak with veggie salad). And don't forget sparkling water. PS. You can remove the intense workout part and it still works, I stopped working out for a month and still losing FAT mass, my muscle mass is (almost) intact.

[@boazhagemeijer5179]

What about embarking on a Dry fast first, then after the desired amount of hours reached, only incorparating water again ? (So keep on fasting, just not dry fasting ?) Thanks for your video(s) man, i love your content.

[@Dixxi91]

There are people who do that. But I would advice caution, if you feel ill - stop and eat/drink. Work your way up from fewer hours :) and also don't do it more than once a week?

*14 day cycle!!!* (Please correct me if I was stupid or made some BIG mistake) Day 1/3/5/7/9/11: 22/2 fast (not using antioxidants, using autophagy stimulators) I do first one small meal and after one hour a very big meal Day 2/4/6/8/10/12: not fasting (lot of antioxidants and autophagy stimulators, things like black coffee and green tea) If on keto some fat at the beginning of the day, some proteins at the middle, and more fats at the end of the day (the sandwich theory) The amount of calories should be regulated conform if I want to lose, gain or maintain weight PS: Days 4 and 10 are actually also liquid fasts (using that marvelous 4 stylish coffees and the bone broth as nutrition) Day 13: not eating at all (no antioxidants and a lot of autophagy stimulators, things like black coffee and green tea) Day 14: after waking up, you are whit between 30 to 40 hours of fasting, so you need to start first having a small meal whit some proteins in it (if on keto I put the same amount of fat or a little more, but very low to no carbs), after 1 hour I then eat a bigger meal. After I regulate myself, I do as a normal eating day, but eating a lot more (since we want the total calories you eat on the 2 days be the same as if you never fasted the day before)

[@SestoElomenTo11]

Great ! Info! Bro! I recently went five day fasting which made me feel superhuman and trained in the process keeping potassium and electrolytes up which is key...of course i've been IM fasting for couple of years..wouldn't recommend for beginners or those who aren't consistent with IM fasting. Then broke it with kettle bone broth and rice cakes and progressed into more nutritious easy foods to digest.

[@SG-ji5ij]

Dry Fasting...from everything you stated it seems to be the ultimate way to fast. My way of thinking is this: how can dry fasting be "extreme" if it's something we are already doing every night while asleep? Just extend your nightly fast a few more hours after awakening and do it as a 16 to 18 hour intermittent fast 3 to 4 days a week as you've recommended for water fasting. What's the harm in that?

[@hikothe14th]

Hi Thomas, I've noticed in a few of your videos a few inaccuracies regarding autophagy. Autophagy is a process by which individual cells recycle their intracellular organelles, hence the name auto (self) phagy (consume). The way you're describing it makes it seem like it's some sort of paracrine or endocrine process, which it is not. The great thing about autophagy is that in essence it rejuvenate permanent post-mitotic cells, like neurons, by breaking down and recycling dysfunctional organelles. Anyways, big fan of your content!

Here are some other benefits to those fasting protocols: 1. It will help a person increase their will power. 2. Become more sensitive to insulin. 3. Become aware of how foods affect them when breaking a fast. 4. Getting more done in their life, business, housework, ect. since digestion will not be taking up energy and time. 5. This is related to will power but it will take a person out of their comfort zone, like a cold shower in the morning or muscle confusion in body building. Happy fasting everyone! I think the government should declare a day out of every month as a national fasting for health holiday since fasting is in all (if not most) religions.

Hi Tom loving your videos mate. Just a question - while dry fasting you said the body removes hydrogen from fat cells to use with O2 to make water well does this effect how that remaining carbon/oxygen is used? As in does it change how it's stored or change how it's used after hydrogen has been removed? Or will the Fat cells absorb hydrogen ASAP after to make up for it being taken

There are more than 4 types of fasting. The most important type wasn't even mentioned. The most popular (before a couple years ago) was fasting for several days (5 days, 15 days, 40 days, and even 70 days). Many people fast 40 days every year, and have been doing so for decades. IF is popular now, and I'm happy about that just because it gets more people fasting (even if only for 12 hours), but a 5 day fast is ten times more powerful--and a 15 day fast is a thousand times more powerful. IF is now all over YT, but I remember in 2001 reading books on the amazing benefits of fasting (for 15 days)...books that were written in the 70s and 80s. If it weren't so natural, you'd think the results are miraculous. Even before the 70s, all the studies confirmed the life-extending benefit of fasting. I encourage you to learn more about fasting--not just watch popular KZbin videos, but dig deeper.

Spectacular video Thomas, especially in respect to dry fasting. Dry fasting is the ultimate secret to a healthy body and mind.

[@blue2blueinthenight]

Hello. Thank you for all the great information. I have a question about what I think is called intermittent dry fasting. 20/4 or 22/4 whatever combination. I am curious, if I break my dry fast at 20-23 hours, and "feed" for 2-4, then jump back on the dry fasting, is it like staring the process all over again? or what is happening? thank you

[@charisenterprise333]

Great video... Amazing work... They don't ship internationally .... Really appreciate your researching

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Chamanlal Sharma thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@Flowmada]

Hey Thomas! Thanks so much for the video. I noticed you are now doing the green screen with background graphics. Perhaps it's just me and my opinion is not the majority, but I think it feels a bit cheesy compared to you being in the studio with stock clips thrown in separately. Maybe it'll grow on me and I know you're legit and not cheesy. It may throw off new subscribers though. Just something I wanted you to be aware of. The one where you're in an everyday environment like a home/outside are the big ones. The medical stuff going on in the background isn't as bad. Have a good one Thomas! Thanks again

[@thecutestofborg5604]

I prefer the studio kitchen as well.

[@cavanduncan36]

Ditto. And keep the shirt on bro. This isn't your fitness channel.

[@lindamcneil711]

I am sure his studio will be back up again.

[@kasramotamedi5470]

[@Sandie_J]

Agree. I felt the same way.

[@madmusic341]

Great video, I'm glad fasting is becoming more mainstream and that Thomas is recomending people to be safe when they try something new, however... I've been doing 20 hr dry fasting every single day for almost five months now and if it was something dangerous that you could only do once every 3-6 months I'm pretty sure I'd be dead now lol. Just make sure you drink a lot when you drink and you'll be fine. I also have access to a scale that estimates the percentage of water in my body and so that has also made it very easy to keep track of things.

[@dieguito197711]

love you videos, vey interesting! I'm fasting 8/16 every day, I will start to fast 24h couple of time per months and intermitting fasting 3 times per week. But honestly, I think the last 2 type of "water" based fasting you're describing here in this video are just to finally push a product that works with fasting. If you're fasting, you don't consume. Period. No need for anything extra. If you want to make a "liquid" intermitting fasting, just drink water during your fasting. Period. Fasting equals no spending money during that period. It's also the beauty of it. Do not push your products for fasting man, you're selling yourself.

This is most valuable video on this or any other diet related matter, kudos, People be advised doctors have prevented many people getting on Keto and Fasting thus have caused so many desperate good people who needed to lose wait from this amazing life style of keto/IF, just start slow adapt to it and experiment with your body by listening to it and you will literally Taylor it so it precisely suits you and your lifestyle, good luck on your journey Keto/IF is the only and true way!

[@hellogorgeous101]

When intermittent fasting 3-4 times per week, are there extra benefits to doing the days consecutively or does it matter?

[@staceykersting705]

Wondering the same. I'd rather do it all in a row....the first day back's always the hardest for me.

[@DreErdna]

Do it 7 days a week

[@erdmax_]

New video format, interesting! Edit* I like it! A lot of quick information that is easily digested.

[@ingusritins7369]

can you elaborate more on a break fast meal such as the bone broth an hour before your actual meal, is it needed for a 16-8 intermittent fasting regime?

[@RockHeiland]

You don't need to break your fast slowly or in any special way with 16/8... 16/8 is most likely just skipping breakfast..

[@alexdelszsen9648]

Rock Heiland Or skipping dinner. I like my food in the morning.

[@butterfly9274]

Is Kettle and fire Organic? Great video Thomas👏🏽👏🏽

[@thejepah1943]

Dry fasting sounds pretty much like Ramadhan fasting to me tho. 🤔

[@iProFIFA]

except ramadan is like 14 hours and dry fasting is 24hrs up to a whole week

[@mrana2424]

Durden Soap dry fasting for a week is insane and retarded

[@minzblatt]

@@iProFIFA Depends on where you live and what season holy month comes in, but it's more like 18-22h. Many ppl don't wake up for imsak therefore the duration is pretty much around 20 hours a day. Oh and it's a soft dry fast according to the definition in this video. Hygiene is important.

[@jacobclark_137]

Mehmet Not showering for one day isn’t going to make you anymore filthy or make you sick or anything. Sure you might get a bit smelly towards the end of the day but you can make sure you brush your teeth and take a thorough shower the day before but a hard dry fast isn’t bad lol

[@blueladylikeable]

in hindu culture, traditionally, fasting is very much part of life, research 'ekadasi', it is done in different ways depending on the date, sometimes it is a version of dry fast. ancient cultures were very wise.

[@zkindy2344]

Well explained Thomas. I have tried them all I found the fluid fast the hardest for some reason, however so as you get used to them Ur body get to adjust itself a bit of headache and weaknesses but for sure you will feel the results so after.

[@malikibrar233]

I am Muslim and we do dry fasting for whole month of Ramdan 29 or 30 days once in a year and its compulsion on us by our religion. its duration 14 to 17 hrs depends on in which month of calendar year Ramdan comes. It has too much health benefits and I think if someone do dry fasting in routine 2 days in a week will get most of health benefits.

Awesome. Will definitely share!

[@tanman12]

When people say intermittent fast 3 to 4 times a week, can you do them in a row or should you do it every other?

[@anabolena2382]

Dr berg says is not good to fast like this

[@A_Brion]

Just do IF daily

So people could do the 16/8 every day

[@elijahbutterfield4869]

But if I do the 16/8, but only eat one meal at 4.30 pm every day, is that also a 24 hour prolonged fast? Cause. Honestly. That's all I have time for. Work all day, eat once, schooling in the evening.

[@catdeprived]

Yes, that's OMAD. Not 16/8, bc 16/8 means you just eat lunch and dinner, no breakfast. Or breakfast and lunch, no dinner.

[@fscorpion678]

that’s what i’m doing currently
