The Results | 3 Day Fast | I'm Surprised

How to fast for three days. My weight loss experiment.

I'll show you the best way to lose 4 pounds in 3 short days. This comes down to losing almost a pound per day, which is awesome by any standard.

To do your first three-day fast, you will need some preparation. First and foremost is preparing your mind for the practice. Most people will have many fears about attempting a three-day long fast. I did. You have to become fat adapted. Do some research, and know the process and what to expect.

What is fat adapted? It's when your metabolism has used its stores of glycogen as its main fuel source. Our bodies produce glycogen when we eat carbs, it burns quickly and when it is gone we become overcome with hunger and cravings. It will stop when you switch to using fat as fuel. It is true that your brain needs glycogen as a fuel but our liver is amazing. It will take the fat you eat (or your bodies fat and turn it into the chemicals needed to maintain homeostasis. It is very important we stick to a strict ketogenic diet for at least 2 or 3 weeks before you fast.

I found it very surprising that I was not hungry because my body was used to using fat as fuel so it naturally used my body fat when I stopped eating.

It is good to understand the basic principles of fasting, the various bodily reactions, and its benefits. Also, read up on the testimonials of those who have attempted long fasts and learn about their experiences. That will give you confidence.

A normal human body can go for weeks without food. Hence a three-day fast is not difficult. Once you start doing it, you will experience the great health benefits that accompany it. I hear crazy stories of people reversing diabetes and gaining control of their health. If you have a serious illness, consult your physician first before you attempt fasting. Those with certain contraindications like tuberculosis and other deficiency diseases should not take up long-term fasts. Also, pregnant women should avoid long-term fasts.

Also, after the 3 day fast, you need to slowly come back to regular eating habits. Hence you should plan for a total of 4 days for the complete process. Ideally. I started on Thursday and fasted into the weekend so I could be at home in case I became sleepy and couldn't drive. This didn't happen. In fact, I had MORE energy and was so clear-minded it took me back.

How to do a Three-day fast?

In a three-day fast, you must drink only water, coffee or tea. No solid food or other liquids that contain nutrition (like fruit juice, milk, etc) are allowed. Simple pure mineral water is good. You can also use bone broth and salt to get needed minerals.

It is been said not to exercise while fasting. I can agree however, I did not follow that. I found I was very energized and could exercise.

Will you be super hungry?

One may feel a sudden bout of hunger. To overcome it, just drink one or two glasses of water. Maybe lie down and take rest. The hunger should go away in a short time. If not, it may be a deficiency in potassium. Cream of tartar is a quick fix for this. Also, try an ounce of apple cider vinegar you get very hungry.

Give it a try! Let me know what worked for you in the comments. Keep it keto guys!

Hey man, just found your channel, love the recipe videos !!! defo going to try a few of them out for sure, as for this video i can attest to the fact that fasting and keto can reverse I was diagnosed with type 2 back in 2017, i did nothing and it got worse, had to up my metformin/blood pressure/cholesterol medication after 6 months. By 2018 i had put more weight on, and in june last year weighing nearly 400lbs i decided enough was enough and shortly after my birthday i started eating low carb. By mid july i had moved to full keto and in October i had my 6 monthly bloodwork done and was taken off every bit of medication and had reversed my type 2 diabetes!!! All in under 6 months!!! Ive gone from 400lbs to 330lbs in this time and have set myself a target of 280lbs by my birthday in June !!! I cannot emphasise enough how much this way of life has helped to save my life!!!! Anyways keep up the good work with videos pal. ;)

I love how short this video is ! It gets straight to the point.

I’m on the 3rd day of a fast right now, I’ve been working out through the past 2 days and am going to again today, honestly a lot of the hunger and cravings are just a mental battle, when you bear down and refuse to think about food it’s much easier to get through.

[NoteFromSELF]

If you took sips of bone broth you BROKE your fast. Period.

[TakenbyDesign]

I don't fast, but I eat only when I'm hungry. And I rarely eat and eat little because I completely eliminated carbs. I feel less nervous and aggressive. The more carbs I eat, the hungrier I get, and the more I eat carbs. And the more weight I gain. We don't need to eat as much as people tell us.

[health-gadgets]

I feel incredible after the 24-hour mark. Good stuff man!

[FordyHunt]

Cool video, liked and subbed. I've done a 72 hour fast but only lasted 70. Just couldn't go on any longer 😁
