I am 70 hrs in, I've come here to distract me from clock watching! I've lost 4lbs and feel great, just a little hungry these last couple of hours

I’d love a companion guide to the 72-hour fast, please! My fasting tip: before the start of your fast, make a list of household products you’ve been meaning to get to-closet organization, basement, garage…these things keep you busy and you’d mind off eating. Decluttering your life is as healthy for you as the fast.

I do a 3 day water fast once a month. I also work 2 jobs which requires me to walk between 18, 000 and 20, 000 steps per day. It's not only a cleansing of the body but of mind and spirit as well.

Tonight at 8pm I will have successfully completed my 72 hour fast.

I will go to bed at 8:30pm on an empty stomach still. Wake up fasted at 3:30am to work from 5am-1pm still fasted, drinking only lemon water and coffee.

At 2pm I will do my fasted training and break my fast at around 4-4:30. I. AM. PUMPED.

I've been dreaming about having bone broth and 2 hard boiled eggs to break my fast then by 6pm I will have grass fed/sweet potato tacos and Greek yogurt with honey and berries for dessert. I am so excited.

Last Saturday I purchased local farm eggs and grass fed ground beef. I am so excited!!!

I felt great all 3 days. I felt strong. I trained all 3 days and felt great.
Going to bed and I am excited.

Your videos are very informative and motivating.

Have a great day. Happy fasting to all my fellow fasters.

Amazing Dr Mindy,

Im a Samoan woman, born in NZ and grew up in Australia. I turned 48 years old in Aug and struggled with my weight and lifestyle all my life. Im not an emotional eater, I just love food.

My weight has juggled between 100kg to my heaviest 144kg as an adult. I decided a few months ago that I dont want to be on this cycle when I reach 50 and its not good enough to settle on my usual 'I deserve this treat or its all good I'll start tomorrow".

So I started looking into intermittent fasting and i came across your work so I've been been following you this past 8 weeks and between 18/6, 36hr, 42hr and a couple of 50 hour and 64 hour fasting, 6 out of 7 days of 1 hour walking with 2- 3 days of weight training for muscle toning per week, I've gone from 118kg and currently weighing in at 104.9kg as of Yesturday.

Ive been working up to 72 hour fasting which I officially started Yesturday at 7pm. This morning I weighed in 105.6 as I upped my protein intake yesterday.

My guideline is coffee with 20ml milk keeping under 20% protein so i dont break fast and drinking water with ACV.

I'll update you with my progress when I'm done and update with my weight situation.

Thank you for your inspiration ❤

With Love
Sonia

Hi Guys,

Happy to say, 1st time in 25 years, I'm weighing in the double digits and 98.2 Kg.
My drive for Dec 2024 is reach 75kg❤️

I shared these videos with my husband (who has a deadly sweet tooth) and now after becoming informed about the repercussions of an unhealthy eating lifestyle in a clear and compassionate way, he wants to fast with me and he sends me messages everyday about his better food choices! This is a dream come true! Cancer and diabetes have deeply impacted many of his family members. I was so scared he would surely suffer from an unavoidable illness in his later years. But now I have hope that I'll be able to live a happy and healthy life with my best friend for years to come! Thank you so much for your inspiring mission!

Love you to pieces. You helped me lose 63lbs. Off all meds but thyroid now. (Had mine removed 20 years ago). Doctor said he hasn’t seen me or my labs look this good in 20 years. Thank you!

[TinaDemetrius]

I am from South India and I am on my 72 hour water fast for the first time ever and its been 32 hours since I started to fast and I don't feel hungry. I've already lost almost 35 pounds over the period of 5 months with intermittent fasting. Dr. Mindy made this weight loss journey a well informed one. I appreciate her commitment and enthusiasm. May God bless you Doctor 😍.

I am watching this while on 66 hour fast cant wait for these last 6 hours to go by 😊

[acsearchingfortruth]

I'm 62 hours in and I'm feeling great! Dr.Mindy's 3 day water fast class was very helpful. I definitely HAD to purchase her book, "Fasting Like a Girl". I couldn't put it down!! Her positive energy and knowledge is extremely refreshing. She is definitely better than any conventional doctor I've ever been to! She explains everything in an easy to understand way. Brovo Dr.Mindy!!! Thank you for what you do!!

[malloryosborne]

I've done a 72 hour fast multiple times and ways feel amazing afterwards! I dont get those waves of hunger after 48 hours. During dinner time while my kids eat, I try to keep busy. Switching over laundry, cleaning bathrooms, etc. Anything to keep me from smelling the food, which makes it harder to resist.

Hi there!
It’s May 21, 2024 and I have just finished my first 72-hour fast.
Yesterday, after 48 hours my BG was 69 (it was usually between 90 and 111), and my ketones were 2.9 (I measured once before and it was 0.4 😅)
I cannot believe how much energy I had the whole time and how well I slept.
I drank 16oz (500ml) with 1/2 lemon juice and some rock salt twice a day plus a cup of black coffee once a day. The rest of the day I was just having plain water.
I dropped only 2 pounds (about 1kg) that may return but I’m sure my body is very happy!
My goal is to drop 27 pounds by December 2024 and get back into my favorite dresses that have been hanging on my closet since I moved to the USA in 2021. In two years I went up 36 pounds. Since Jan 01st I’ve shredded 9 pounds.
Thanks for your videos!!!

[mr.allnatural]

I’ve done a three day water fast once.. it was the most amazing experience I ever had!!

[claybomb]

I just finished a 72 hour fast. I want to start doing this once a month 👍

[stevengould]

I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for little over a month now. I’m 62 years old and I feel so much better. I was fighting anxiety and worrying constantly... fasting, along with exercise, less caffeine, no alcohol and meditation have renewed my outlook about life. I wasn’t unhealthy to begin with, I take no medications and have an okay diet. Cutting way back on sugar intake was/is the hardest thing for me. I can’t wait to challenge myself to fast 72 hours. Thanks for sharing

[FatimaB]

This video couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you Dr Mindy!

[Evergreenritu]

My body is getting use to 36 hr fasting but I definitely want to do 72 hr fasting..
And I find your videos motivating enough to get me through this.thanks dr. Mindy

Commenting just to tell you I’m 22lbs down in 8 weeks since discovering your channel. I did my first 72 hour fast Sunday evening to Wednesday evening and went from 178.8lbs to 173.6lbs and feel incredible. Clothes fit differently. People are noticing the weight loss. It’s crazy and I love you so much for teaching us the way that you do.

[ritadawn]

I have been following you since July 2023 and I have lost 25lb thank you so much Dr. Mindy Pelz, fasting has become a way of life for me. It has healed a lot of my ailments and I feel fantastic thanks again

Companion Guide, I've done a three day water fast and many 24 - 48 hour fasts. I definitely experience the mental clarity on Day 2 and 3 that you hear about. I am glad you mentioned Musculoskeletal Repair for the three day fast. My shoulder was sore and stiff for several weeks earlier this summer but by Day 2 of my fasts, it felt relief. And by day three, I had increased power and increased range of motion. The benefits lasted about 2 - 3 weeks. I have also noticed that my skin looks and feels better with extended fasts.
