The INSANE BENEFITS Of Fasting & Foods You Need To STOP EATING! | Dr. Pradip Jamnadas

You probably wouldn’t expect a cardiologist to tell you that not eating is the key to better heart health. But today’s guest is a passionate believer in finding new solutions to old diseases – and in finding those solutions within ourselves.

Caution: If you have an existing health condition or are taking medication, always consult your healthcare practitioner before going for prolonged periods without eating.

I've been eating one meal a day for a bit more than 15 years. It wasn't a plan. I've never been a breakfast eater, and I got really busy with work and started skipping lunches and enjoying a meal in the evening. I liked eating this way and decided to stick with it. Everyone in my life tells me that I am going to get nutritional deficiencies and that I am damaging my body. I'm trim. I'm fit. I'm never sick. They are all mostly overweight and taking prescribed meds for various ailments. To appease everyone, I had a physical checkup and had blood work done. My blood work was perfect, but the doctor referred me to a nutritionist when I told him about my one meal a day eating. I met the nutritionist. She was horrified by my eating style. My main sources of calories are potatoes and beans. I eat all varieties of potatoes and all the varieties of beans. I make a huge pot of beans from dry beans every week. Freeze half of it and eat the other half during the week with steamed potatoes (I cut them up before steaming). My main condiment is salsa. I also usually toss a small handful of walnuts on top before I sit down to eat. Sometimes I add other veggies like broccoli, mushrooms or bok choy to the pot of steaming potatoes, but for most meals it's just potatoes and beans with salsa and walnuts. My desert is usually just a piece of fruit if I have it, which can be an orange, an apple or a bowl of berries. I drink water, nothing else. No booze. No juices. No coffee. No soda. The nutritionist gave me a bunch of literature about meal planning. She wanted me to eat three meals a day and include dairy products in my diet. She was nice and seemed genuinely concerned about me, but she was also fat. I didn't adopt any of her advice. It's two years later. I'm still healthy, fit, and trim and enjoying potatoes and beans. Everyone in my life is still telling me that I am going to get sick. After 15+ years, maybe tomorrow is the day.

My daughter, age 11, is never hungry in the morning - so she doesn't want breakfast and I have never forced her to eat. I think by forcing kids to eat at a certain time (or finishing their plate) we send the message that they should ignore their hunger cues, which is a bad long-term strategy for eating competency as they grow up.

Thank you for having me on your show! Great to have this conversation shared with the world!

I persuaded my mother to start fasting after force feeding her these videos 🤣 she's 83 we have been doing IF for just over a year and eat clean. We have both lost 50lbs and her lymphodema has gone, both our asthma has cleared up and I swear to god before we started she was showing slight signs of dementia, but those have gone now! Totally medication free household now. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Dr pradip jamnadas and also credit to Dr Jason Fung....lifesaving hero's ❤ 💙 😊

I have been morbidly obese on and off all my life. I'm 61 now, and lost 75kg in 14 months with intermittent fasting. It's the only thing that worked for me, and I'm keeping the weight off🤞

[joaco]

What the Dr. says at the beggining is esential: we won't have enough willpower to fast if we don't have our mind in order.
I quit smoking more than 6 months ago, I quit a job that I didn't like so much, my anxiety went down a lot and now I am at peace.
I can do everything I set my mind to.
I'm in control.

[Mexicobeanpole]

“Self imposed scarcity”.
When I got my sense of control of what I put into my body, and my habits, it was with fasting.
My in my head mantra was “it will still be there tomorrow.” “There’s plenty”. There’s no scarcity in my mindset. Be it food, money, health. So, I don’t have to smash and grab anything.
I’m mentally living in abundance.

I've lost 155 lbs over the last year and a half. I'm on day 30 of a water fast to eliminate the last of my excess fat and skin. In the last month 25 lbs have melted away and I feel great. 18 months ago I was 375 lbs watching YouTube videos of people who overcame obesity and thinking "I wish I could do that." I'm now reaching the shape I was in in my early 20s. I started all this when I turned 61. You can do this. Keto and intermittent fasting are key.

I have been raised on a ranch, fed all natural foods, organic, grass fed meats, wild caught fish, tight Loving peaceful family. Fasting became a part of who I am, as well as strong spiritual beliefs. My best friend is the Lord, Jesus . Thank you for this most important show ever. I. Appreciate you both & am very thankful for your expertise & beliefs. God bless you both with joy. Thank you so much.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[Jenleahhh]

We need more doctors like this interested in fixing the problems not just masking them ❤️

[cheriearcher]

The reason lots of doctors don't promote fasting is that they won't make any money. But Dr Pradip is a true manitarian. He genuinely care about people. I love his mind set. Thanks doc

I started IF in November 2018. I was going through a real personal disaster, feeling lost, completely low. I found it on youtube and on a whim, I just did a 18hr fast and guess what "nothing happened". I experimented and got to 20:4 pretty fast even with work and everything. Since then, I have recommended it to many people I care about. I agree with all the benefits but as a layman:
1. My confidence in my own body has gone up exponentially. I am more grateful for my health, I am extremely tuned into the feedback from my body.
2. My will power has gone up.
3. I now have added about an hour of meditation daily.
4. I have since graduated to cold showers, running marathons and ultras, and to entrepreneurship.
It is freedom, good health, gratitude, confidence, will power, everything. Once you realize what an exquisite piece of machinery this body really is, you treat it better and you treat yourself better and that reflects in everything else that you do.

I love his energy and passion for helping others by introducing them to fasting.Four years ago i was diagnosed with hypertension and kidney failure, my kidneys suddenly failed and I spent 3 years on dialysis.I was also diagnosed with congestive heart failure.In June 2020 I had a left side stroke.My doctors had no explanation of why my organs were failing.I took things into my own hands and starting doing intense research on systemic inflammation.I ran into this doc's youtube videos.I started intermittent fasting while i had my stroke.After physical therapy and fasting for 6 months i regained all my faculties and my blood pressure dropped from 160/110 to 111/80.On April 9th 2021, i had a heart and kidney transplant at 30yrs old.My blood pressure is still normal.I continue to fast but was temporarily diabetic due to the high level of prednisone that is given to new transplant patients.My A1C went up to 8.Doc sent me home with insulin.I choose to check my sugars daily and fast without injecting insulin.My A1C is now normal.Fasting has saved my life.

I have been intermittent fasting for over two years mainly because I was suffering from arthritis and my knees were really painful. Now .... my knees are mostly free from pain, I function better in all ways of life. I also do cold showers and the combination has resulted in a leaner body, no belly fat and my energy levels are amazing. I am 73 and look great. I haven’t been to a doctor for over 30 years. Thank you for giving these videos because people need to take responsibility for their own health.

[EricaNernie]

My BP went down from140/90 to 120/70 just from slowly reducing carbs and eating breakfast late, say 10 or 11am. I'm 72, on no meds, and never felt better. But I figured it out for myself. Doctors won't tell you (except here).

[AJanky]

I love this doctor's passion for helping people. This doctor is overjoyed to be able to actually empower his patients, it's beautiful. He's not thrilled to PRESCRIBE them medication, he is thrilled to get them off of the medications, and back in control of their health. Love to see it.

[ReversingDiabetes]

The FREEDOM is huge. My first extended fast *taught* me something no diet ever did before, that I didn't *have* to eat when there wasn't appropriate food. HUGELY empowering.

[annetennison]

I have fasted 20/4 for 10 months, lost 80 pounds and feel great! I just got to stop my blood pressure meds AND my A1c number is back to normal from pre-diabetic level. I’m 63 and fought my weight for 30 years. Thank you for your information! My husband is now also fasting and feeling great too!

[ReikiWithTina]

Down 85 pounds & feel amazing now, Thanks to fasting! I can’t get enough of this information!❤❤
