I started fasting 3 years ago for spiritual reasons after the first year I started realizing fasting helps us physically too, I’m sure now that’s one of the Lord’s reasons for fasting 🙏🏼🙌🏼👑✝️🙌🏼🙏🏼

[@psynurse]

Exactly. It's biblical to fast

[@RoseBtrfly]

Isaiah 58 …” and thine health shall spring forth speedily.” The first few verses are the “false fast” .. Pharisees. Then the “This is The Fast that I have chosen” says the Lord. Awesome Totally Awesome! Fasting opens THE healing system; CREATED IN our bodies.

[@evechavez2089]

Jesus fasted for our sins, He was God, perfect, illness came after the sin because we were not in God's Devine will or doing his will.

[@PC-yp5dl]

So yes, fasting, if you're a Christian, should fundamentally be to grow spiritually in various ways. Also however, the physical benefits are so significant, that of course God created fasting also for these reasons. Our bodies are the Spirit's temple, therefore a regular fasting routine would absolutely help keep your temple in outstanding condition.

[@CeeSparks]

The spiritual helps the physical as well❤ we started fasting as kids . I haven't done it as much as a grown up, now I'm incorporating it back

[@kungazopa2831]

I drink 3 large cups of coffee each morning while I'm fasting... although some people would argue that I'm not really fasting. However, I managed to lose 103 pounds of body weight drinking 1 cup of tea and 3 cups of coffee with heavy cream each morning. I think that people should work out what works for them and tinker with it.

[@zippitydoodah5693]

People do not " _argue_ " that you are, " _not really fasting_ ". They simply make that observation of truth. There is no argument to be made. I am really glad your extreme liquid KETO diet helped you lose weight and get healthier. Sincerely. But *calling* it " _fasting_ ", does not make it so. It never will. Words have meanings for a reason.

[@Tingedarkensaw]

How do you sleep ? I find it hard to sleep long while fasting

[@gammelagam]

@@Tingedarkensaw That's a bit of a struggle yes, but most of the time when you fast for an extended period of time, you don't need as much sleep. You should feel pretty energized with some practice. My rest heart rate is by itself pretty low due to a lot of running, so maybe that helps me to control it better when i do fast. That also made me fat adapted, so my body knows it can use those stores efficiently. But when i fast i make sure i do as little as possible, you want to avoid any type exercise. Try to get in an relaxed state, and let it happen. And if you can't, that's okay too.

Not only are you absolutely right about Dr. Berg, but your morning cocktail (water, organic ACV, and fresh lemon juice) is also something to keep doing forever!! I’ve been making the same thing for a long time, and I love the effects, so I can confirm it is a very healthy drink!! The only difference for me is I add a couple shakes of organic cayenne pepper for an added thermogenic effect. If you don’t like spicy things, then you don’t have to add it as what you are already doing is plenty fine!! Cheers from the US!! 😊

[@techsir8866]

Start with Dr Berg has been a huge support and is the reason I started getting my health back. Only one thought and/or constructive criticism piece for this. Going back and forth from different diets has made me realize that it is very hard to retain salt/sodium when not eating carbohydrates. When doing keto I could never get enough water and salt. But when eating a small amount of sugars, staying hydrated was no deal. Hope this helps, peace out and have a great day.

[@kv7654]

Do you count veggies as carbohydrates?

[@healthyketoexperiment7964]

I just more salt and potassium. No biggie.

That is all I drink with an occasional (3-4 glasses per week) unsweetened iced tea. Nothing else.

Precisely diluted raw organic ACV, squeezed fresh lemon juice and a tiny bit of pink himalayan salt was the only thing that kept me going and helped me recover quickly from dysautonomia due to long covid since I barely could eat, which knocked off the bit stubborn belly fat I had, alongside taking other supplements recommended from your videos.
