Dry Fasting Science | 😱What Happens To Your Body When You DRY FAST???🤔🧠

Fasting is considered a beneficial strategy for inducing autophagy in the body and yields additional benefits that can contribute to the overall health of a person. Over the years, different fasting techniques have been developed in order to provide more specialized approaches to using this strategy for its intended benefits. Recently, on the particular type of this strategy, known as dry fasting, has gained a lot of recognition.

While there are certain benefits associated with the process of dry fasting, a number of risks have also been identified by researchers. In this video, we examine the physiological effects of dry fasting and look at some important factors to keep in mind.

During regular fasting, the body is placed under stress. Once the calorie and glucose reserves of the body run out, a state of autophagy is activated. The body starts to use cells that it would not normally utilize and waste materials are removed from damaged cells. Essentially, this leads to a process where strong and healthy cells survive. Autophagy also helps to produce new healthy cells.

When it comes to dry fasting, a person is not only restricted from calorie intake through food but also needs to stop using water. There are two types of dry fasting. With a soft dry fast, it is still considered appropriate to get in contact with water, but when a hard, dry fast is followed, a person is not allowed to shower, brush their teeth, or come into contact with water at all.

Dry fasting puts the body under more stress. This essentially increases the autophagy process and leads to more waste material being removed.

One study explains that lipid levels seem to become......

In another study, researchers found that another physiological change imposed by dry fasting is an increase in......

During the initial period, the body will continue to run on glucose reserves that are still left from the last meal. It takes some time for the glucose to run out. As glucose levels come close to depletion, the liver starts to look for an alternative source of fuel for energy - and this is when it starts to break down fat. The fat is broken down in the liver and then converted into what is known as ketones. This is why intermittent fasting and dry fasting is often advised for fat loss - as it forces the body to start breaking down fat.

During dry fasting, the kidneys are placed under extra stress. This is because the process of dry fasting causes a significant increase in.......

About "stress on the kidneys" - since 2016 I've done over 21 14-days strict dryfasts to restore function to a thyroid removed in 1971. I also had a lifetime of chronic kidney pain, and all the dryfasting I did vanished all kidney pains. Yes, sure, during the dryfast I did experience kidney pains and a simple massage of the kidney zone helped while the body was taking out the garbage and clearing the kidney tubules. My kidneys were never harmed during a 14 days strict dryfast.

I tend to have apple cider vinegar mixed with baking soda on my fasts as well as having lemon juice. Cole Robinson, the Snake Diet motivator, seems to recommend doing that for your kidneys when going on water fasts. Would you recommend doing this to prevent kidney issues?

im gonna do it now 7 am and end it tom 7am ty dr. legrand

[gabrielkirkbaca]

As always Doc another great video, I always look forward to them. During a dry fast, would a colon irrigation speed up the autophagy process ? I can't thank you enough you're doing a great job

[rhondae]

Hello there, Dr LeGrand!
I'm so glad you are talking about dry fasting again. I like the benefits of autophagy. I want to do another four days dry fast followed by a three days water fast.☺️

[marynguyen]

Thanks for the video! By the way, Dr. LeGrand you look so much like the singer Michael Buble 😎😀🤟

[urielwong]

Thanks doc! Dry fasting raises my BP by 20 points, so decided it may not be ideal for me, but I wish I could do it. During a water fast my BP is good, so I generally stick to water fasting.

Intermittent dry fasts are pointless. Your body doesn't start making metabolic water until after the first 24hrs. During the first 24 hours of water deprivation the body gets its replacement water in the following order: From residual food still left in your digestive system from your last meal, then from your glycogen stores in your liver and skeletal muscles, only then does it start to get water from your cells. By the time you start eating at the end of your intermittent fasting window( 22 hours as an example) your body hasn't even started pulling water from your fat cells yet. You can easily go 48 to 72 hours it just sucks.

I thought the cells incinerate the toxins and garbage instead of circulating it thus not affecting the kidneys. How does the incinerator thing work

[willmunoz]

I subscribed due to this video. Thanks!

Does dry fasting make you have kidney disease? What happens to the kidneys? Thank you so much is it just kidney stones or will it shrink your kidneys?

[kenndaily]

Question for Dr. LeGrand ► Sauna effects: Same as dry fasting? Some benefits of dry fasting? No correlation to dry fasting effects?

Read the Book 'The Phoenix Protocol- Dry Fasting and Life Extension' lots of research sourses listed; Author a scientist..

Attn Dr LeGRand: Fan of your info... I ahve lost 140lbs (63kg).. likely more weight than most anyone. Exercise is DUMB and water fasting is DUMB compared to dry fasting.. Let me explain.. If you ran at an aerobic pace of 500 calorioes per hour 24 hours per day 7 days a week (non stop running). Thats 84 000 calories from running

The most you could lose is 24lbs.

I have personally lost over 25lbs ina week MIXING dry fasting with WATER fasting 2:1 days.

MY GO-TO

2 days dry fasting
1 day water fasting
2 days dry fasting

That never lets me go more than 48 hours dry..
and I lose 19lbs of which 4lbs will return after refeeding.

Thats 15 lbs (7kg) gone in 5 days.

This matches science study also... but they used healthy participants and had no rehydration day.

THAT IS a HUNDRED HOURS (100) worth of running in 5 days worth of weight loss.

7kg x 7700 calso is over 50 000.. a hundred hours of running.

from

Do not forget.. this weight loss is done while SLEEPING, playing online games, and watching Netflix.

Let me be clear.. I lost 140lbs and I don't own a running shoe (I like earthing grounding also)

STAR TREK RERUNS ARE THE BEST EXERCISE...

Please understand that CALORIES IS BULLCRAP.. you can prove that with any calculator..

HOW.. HOW.. HOW Doctor... (I want you to do the easy math)....

How can I lose more weight lying in bed watching star trek reruns than some guy running 24 HOURS PER DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK (constantly)?

This answer may sound shocking.. but Im telling you in a decade calories will be considered bullcrap..

Doctors wil have dry fasting clinics where people can be sedated or have dialysis or some other aids to help our livers/kidneys/skin/eyeballs (feels like chlorine in eyes)

THIS IS REAL... I did make a recent video called DRY FAST - exercise is DUMB for weight loss where I link the science study and show my ownbefore and after photos.

Youre one of the few doctors encouraging dry fasting fro weight loss.. so RESPECT!

I dont think you realize just how great it is though...

I was 300lbs.. I was morbdly obese..

and no lie..

I lost it all by playing online video games and binge-watching Netflix and amazon prime.

^^^ can you see how this may catch on as the worlds best and easiest weight loss method..

EXERCISE is truly stupid.. and youre closer to some doctors at knowing this.

THINK THIRSTY... THINK THIRSTY..

Calories is bullcrap

Today I am a thin and healthy 160lbs.. Ive lost 140lbs.. thats an adult in weight..

Ive lost an entire adult in weight by binge-watching star trek reruns.. and its not as hard as I make it sound...

FEEL FREE TO COPY MY PHOTOS OR VIDEO FRO REFERENCE if you make updated videos as this catches on.

all weekend and a person would lose more than 1kg.

Its that good...

A game I play.. After 24 hours (to get thristy).. each and every hour you prolong the fast is like 400 calories gone.

Yes.. the math works out to 400+ calories per hour when THIRSTY enough.

I did do water fasting first.. but my god.. it was like night and day..

I thought my scale had broken...

SMACK WATER FASTERS.. just smack them.

So if you go 28 hours dry fast.. Id call that 4 extra hours and say that's roughly 1600 calories are gone from binge-watching 4 episodes of star trek reruns.

If I go a whole second day.. Id lose 3lbs or over a kilogram.

BY

and thats what many forget, .. youre watching tv in bed the entire time...

Dry fasting has higher acidosis.. headaches come sooner.

and your liver and kidneys need to process al the released muck..

BUT

This is imprtant. and shouldnt be ignored by medical science.

MEDICAL SCIENCE IS WRONG... calories IS bullcrap.

My body NEVER melts fat for glucose.. its melting the fat for the 10-40% H2O contents..

YOUR BODY WILL SHRED-MANGLE-DESTROY fat... to creat ewater..

water fasting is USELESS..your body wil never destroy fat to create water if we are hydrated (hydration is bad for this).

Remember this always..

EXERCISE FOR WEIGHT LOSS IS A VERY DUMB THING!

almost as dumb as water fasting.

DO THE MATH...

Medical science could never explain my 25lbs+ weekly wioeght loss... and NOT water weight.. My 160lbs isnt coming back anytime soon.

DO THE MATH... youre so close.

[Rian_P]

B's video.. do some research man.. and do dry fast before talking about it.

[josephmarcello]

Hey worthless, poorly researched presentation. Time to do your homework, study the work of Dr. Philinov of Russia and the many other physicians who worked on the dry fasting phenomenon over the decades. Decades. You can't possibly use the partial temporal fasting of Ramadan as a true example of what goes on inauthentic dry fasting.


Time to stop pretending you know something and get a day job!

[Briand-eigs]

Are you saying : be cautionate"? Why are saying that? Why are you not saying be cautious? Thst is the word you should use. The world is getting wierd. Soon we will all speak our own individual languages and communication will be impossible

[ecomtony]

No offense, but you know so much about fasting but yet your still a bigger sized man?

[AlteroCoach]

Dry fasting science? Dry fasting BS! There is no science on dry fasting at the moment. Only speculations like this.
