In this video, Dr. Berg talks about refeeding dangers after prolonged fasting. If you’re deficient going into this prolonged fast and you have a huge meal after, you could risk the danger to your heart and to your overall electrolytes could cause fainting or passing out, and other serious side effects. There will be a huge shift in electrolytes inside the cell because insulin acts as a key to allowing the minerals to go inside the cell.

What to do for your first meal?
• Eat small first
• Gradually put the food in your body to decrease the risk of problems of the heart or any other parts of the body.

I ended a 16 day water fast with a massive spaghetti dinner at my grandmother's house. The next morning my blood sugar was 380 and I had hyperkalemic paralysis and severe edema. My hands and legs were paralyzed for nearly a week and I put on 16 pounds of water weight in 24 hours. My doctor said I'm lucky to be alive. And yes, I know I'm an idiot.

Hi Dr. Berg,

I went from IF to a forced prolonged fast caused by eating inappropriately!

I did not realize the IF had changed my ability to digest food and drinks.

I had also been on an SSRI for months, in addition to not-very-precise keto.

So almost three weeks of fluctuating (but mostly severe) diarrhea has been the result!

Finally connected the SSRI to the extreme prolonged nature of the diarrhea and went off it cold turkey last night (so tonight is my second night).

Only clear fluid today (fresh lemon juice, raw honey, pink Himalayan salt, and filtered water).

Last bout of diarrhea and abdominal pain was this morning.

So I’ll be applying your suggestions with broth, maybe very well cooked organic white rice, tomorrow, hopefully!

Much appreciated.
🌟👌🏾❤️👍🏿😊

You should do alot of videos about prolonged fasting since alot of us are doing it and we really appreciate your informations on the subject !

[SemiDomesticMom]

I always wondered why my heart would start racing when I ate after fasting. Thanks for this.

[midnightdarkchocolate]

"more serious side effects” by that he means death☠️

He didn’t mention the extreme squirts afterwards too lol

Wish I'd watched this before my first 48h fast. I felt great fasting but was so sick when I ate. Thank you Dr Berg. Doing 72h this time. Feel great. Have bone broth ready for first small meal. Always learning! 😁

I do several 7-day fasts a year and never have an issue ... but, turns out I am doing just what Dr. Berg recommends. When I first start eating, I have half an avocado, a few green olives and a small wedge of cheese. I wait a while and then have something more. And then in the evening I will have a light meal with a bit of salad and piece of chicken or some such. This works very well. Also, that's good advice on breaking the fast if it isn't going well. Sometimes I pick a week for a fast and it turns out after a couple of days that my body is screaming at me. It just isn't in that place that I need it to be to do a healthy fast. Goes to show that scheduling a week is an intellectual decision, but your body needs to have a say in it, too. When the timing is right, it's a wonderful experience.

They never really went into the detail but this is one of the first things you learn before starting a longer fast in church so I was always aware of this as I’m going to church my whole life, I’ve even heard of a couple people die from overeating after a fast but I never really knew why until now.

[gunnarpaternal]

Perfect timing! I'm ending my first extended 7 day fast today, so this is PERFECT information.

While water fasting, I drink barley coffee, it has potassium and magnesium, and I add ginger and Turmeric because they have benefits that help with keto and autophagy

I also drink a little table salt and it helps

[aubreyday]

Good advice. I broke my 14 day fast with a vegan pizza (I couldn’t resist) and passed out. It was the weirdest thing. Will do better next time. Thanks!

[wes]

Fasted for a week then broke it with some pizzas and pepsi, next morning went to a hospital cos of kidney stone

[jameelaha]

Broke a 9 day fast with three small pieces of beef fat. Got sleepy, shallow breath, and a headache. Moral of the story, Be careful when coming off a prolonged fast lol.

I did a 72 hour and I ate too much too fast and my heart started racing for a few hours, was kind of scary, I didnt even pig out just like a normal meal, but now I've learned to ease back in alot slower.

[stalstonestacy]

During my fast I use Keto Chow electrolyte fasting drops plus a potassium supplement.
My intention is to end my fast with bone broth and a pat of butter the first day and possibly the second. Day 3 bone broth with egg
Day 4 bone broth, egg and calf liver
Day 5 eggs and bacon
Day 6 back to strict carnivore
I'm also checking my blood sugars and ketones during the fast and keeping a journal

[bunnybunny]

Like Cole says " get your salts in "

[mrmykle]

I have done 3 day fasts, 5 day fasts, and 10 day fasts several times over the last 5 years and I always eat whatever I want to break them; big cheeseburger and fries, pasta, steak and potatoes, steak and salad, whatever, and I have never had an issue. My understanding is that you’ll get RS if your really malnourished. But who knows what’s right. Do your own research and talk to your Doctor.
