Just finished a 72 hour fat fast as directed. Literally only drank olive oil, MCT, sesame oil and avocado oil at the proportions suggested. I have to say as far as general feeling, mental acuity, concentration, etc. it was not as enjoyable as the 72 hour water fast I've done. That being said, the results I think are greater as far as body comp, weight loss, fat loss, are more noticeable. I think the mental issues were due to the high levels on Ketosis I achieved. I've been following Keto diet for a year now, so went into the fast at about .8 ketones. I use a Keto Mojo and by Day 2 I was reaching 7.0 and higher. Most of the time my Keto Mojo was just reading HI for Ketones. My glucose which is normally around 85-88 dropped to around 67, thus my GKI's were around .3-.6. I also dropped from 188lbs to 181 from Sunday evening to Thursday morning. Body comp differences are very noticeable as well. Did a re-entry meal with Bone broth and Lean Protein on Wednesday afternoon/night. Tested Ketones Thursday morning at 3.8. What I wanted to point out was that after a :40 min HIIT workout on Thursday morning my Ketones jumped back up to 7.2, when they normally drop post workout. Is this due to more fat metabolism/oxidation? Trying to understand why this happened, so any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!! This explains why I FINALLY broke through a plateau when I *tried* to do a 24-hour fast but “cheated” by eating a heaping spoonful of coconut oil when I got hungry! I thought afterward “that wasn’t so bad” and did it for a week! Then I went back to a 4-hour KETO eating window. I’ve plateaued again—maybe because I’m consuming too many calories? —so I’ll be doing it again now. What’s so counterintuitive was that I was so energetic, it was like I was on autopilot!! I was in a GREAT mood and sleeping better than ever, too!! You’ve helped me understand that it’s because I was fat-adapted! 🙌💃

This sounds great but it might confuse people when you're saying "Literally, only eat fat. No carbs, no protein." While pictured, there's someone cutting into a cooked egg.

I would love to see an actual daily eating plan here.

[Mike-vurn]

Is there any actual food that can be eaten? It sounds to me as though drinking spoonfuls of oil through the day is the only option. What about training during a fat fast? Please do a Part 2 for this video answering those questions!

Gosh what an excellent regiment, I am keto and use intermittent fasting, this produced unbelievable results for me so much so that I don't want to tell anyone how much weight I lost in the 4 days of and 1 week after cause they wouldn't believe me.

[Shardalon]

I would recommend doing this on your day off and staying near a toilet for the first few times....

I was literally doing a YouTube search of “Thomas DeLauer fat fast” last night to see if you’ve made this video lol

[lorenaagostinhoreis]

Thank you for the vídeo Thomas. Hello from Brazil! Please, see if you can show us a fat fasting protocol in a future vídeo like you did for other kinds of fasting in this channel. I will apreciate it.

best fat fast is with suet. It's almost pure fat, but it has such a high melting point due to being full of gristle and stearic acid so it doesn't melt much as you cook it. I also like to take a stick of butter and cut it lengthwise so it's shaped more like a chocolate bar...and eat it like a chocolate bar.

You forgot the "what to eat and how often" part. All I know is fats and bone broth. Do I take a spoon and scoop out ghee and eat it? or do shots of EVOO during the two-day fat fast? Am I eating any food? You showed a pic of eggs..is that ok? Yes/no? During the two-day fast, how often am I supposed to eat? After I break it with bone broth, then what? A salad? Did I miss an entire segment of the video or is more coming? I get the theory....you explained it very well....but how do I actually do this? Thanks!

Your last video about this got me thinking about starting a fat fast to get back into ketosis after such a long time off - started today, perfect timing! 🙌🏻

Hi Thomas - Please consider doing a fat fast meal plan and a fat fast challenge. Thanks a bunch for all the videos and info you share. 🤗

I would love to see a break down of what a 2 to 3 day fat fast would look like for food wise.

Recently I moved back home and my Mother watched me eat fat for 3 weeks and started questioning my sanity until I lifted up my t-shirt to show her my abs and intercoastals popping out .
Even tho she was impressed at the results and could see my health and vitality increase, she simply cannot shake her programming that fats are bad .

[ShawnaRN]

50% saturated fat
50% unsaturated fats
-80% EVOO, avocado, macademia nut oil

I did a bullet proof style coffee: coffee, cacao, mct, ghee, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, inulin and followed it with an 80% fat dinner. Baby greens...3 cups has almost no calories or carbs.. with homemade olive oil dressing, olives and avocado and a very yummy, high fat soup with only a couple of ounces of salmon, herbs, miso and lots of fat: ghee, coconut oil, heavy pasture raised heavy cream and coconut butter.

Appreciate hearing the details.
Thanks.

So, are we to drink all those oils to get the fats ? This one confused me .
