Importance of a proper and gentle refeeding after extended water fast

Hi Friends! Let's talk about refeeding. During fasting, the body switches its main fuel source from carbohydrates to fat tissue fatty acids and amino acids as the main energy sources. During refeeding, insulin secretion resumes in response to increased blood sugar, resulting in increased glycogen, fat and protein synthesis. You can shock and upset the system by eating too much or by eating stuff that never belonged in the body, but that the body was accustomed to. It's important to gently restart the appestat - the region of the hypothalamus of the brain which is believed to control a person's appetite for food. We start meals very small and slowly increase the amounts over the course of the first week. We are trying to gently bring you out of a fast back to being able to handle normal quantities of food. Hope you find this video informative. Enjoy and leave your comments below!

I did a 40 day fast alone (no electrolytes, just water). Everything was fine until the refeeding. I sipped on some bone broth, then 12 hours later i thought I could handle some beef and vegetable ROOM....REFEEDING 3 days in the hospital.

True I don’t feel hungry at all but my brain thinks of food 🤣🤣🤣just did my 21days water fast and it was really amazing

Thank you Loren! Just completed a 26 day water fast solo, unfortunately did not have the means to come out. Your videos motivated me to keep going, day 6 of refeeding and I can definitley say everything you said is right.
I am making this post for the sake of sharing my experience, perhaps in vain as you already probably know this.
1) Started with plain water and then got extremely weak to where I could not stand while peeing (blacking out), added a little bit of black himalayan salt to the water and some lemon juice which I strained. INSTANTLY felt way better, guessing your logic would be is my body stopped fasting and detoxing, however I continued having very smelly urine coated tongue etc.. Just was able to move by myself safely.
2) After refeeding was expecting the bowel movements to be painful and hard however it was not nearly as hard as other stories I have heard on your channel, the matter was gray and dark and smelly but it was a lot softer, it is my belief that the lemon water and salt helped break it down a bit. Essentially, I am just trying to get you to try adding a little black salt and lemon water so that perhpas it could help someone who can no longer continue the fast safely. Im sure you already know about this but I felt inclined to pay forward the help I recieved from you. (Black salt is know to dissolve mucous...) I do not plan on consuming salt any longer as I do not feel the need for it, what you said checks out with me but it saved me from ending the fast early.
Had a lung tumor prior to the fast, now I can feel it has dried up and gone, the nutrients are now healing the tissue where the tumor once was (my energy has also returned!!! For once in my life), not going to get an x-ray but I know it is dead, you have literally saved my life, I appreciate you.

Hi Mr. Loren, would you recommend doing a colonic doing a 40-day fast? I have had pain and discomfort in my belly area, where it felt like i needed to poop but couldn't. I'm thinking a colonic will fix this, no?

What should I eat when refeeding if I've been fasting to kill candida?

[BuddhaNature]

After my 40 day fast, I was planning to do an orange, a mango, and a salad is that okay? And how many hours should I take to eat again?

Aloha Loren, didn't find You until I began to refeed.

Just completed 1st 40 day water fast and began refeeding May 1st.

Day 3 I noticed some tenderness in the stomach, I believe i ate too quickly, too much and now day 5 refeeding, eating smaller meals.

I noticed feeling hungry and the feeling to want to nourish, but gentler foods...

I'd love to know what i should do now that i still feel some bloating and gassiness coming out both ends, with some tenderness along sides & a bit of a bulging stomach.😅

Much gratitude,
Quisha

Thx even if i already knew and experimented it. 👍
And dont eat salt or you may get bad water retention really fast tho it wont happen in Tanglewood where you will only get sodium from fruits, coconut water and greens. 🤣

I'm on day 36 of a fast and my body is not "happy to keep going." I have pretty bad nausea and am dry heaving about twice per day. I feel better after I dry heave for reasons unknown to me, as nothing comes up except saliva, and there is no esophageal burning. I'm determined to make it to day 40. I want this nausea to stop, tired of it.

Great video! Definitely extremely important to avoid refeeding syndrome!
Ofcourse eating anything our Bodies weren't designed for can only have negative side effects, especially when we're perhaps in a more vulnerable physical state.
But I currently think also with regard to quantity of water rich foods, we can cause quite some negative effects as well. Cause I remember one story you shared of a client who ate twice as much watermelon as you've recommended after a 40 days fast. And he ended up with an inguinal hernia, probably because of all the excess water in his digestive system, along with the broken down old material, which together pushed his digestive system beyond its limits. Even though I therefore currently think our Bodies can handle quite a bit of fruit, I also believe atm that we want to be sure we don't overdo it, and cause these types of injuries. Especially since understanding our Body's messages hasn't been our best developed skill, as we the 'intelligent' species constantly think we know better... 🤣🤣🤣

Captioning for questions please. Can't hear them.

[divyajeetraj]

Thanks ....

How many day do I have to fast to cure pcos plus insulin resistance

[jamiecaldwell]

On the first day of refeeding, after a 21 day fast, how many ounces of juicy fruit do you recommend ?

[ashleyf]

In a few days I'm coming to the end of a 14 day water fast. To re-feed, would apples, oranges and coconut water be OK? Also, when will it be safe to re-introduce caffeine?

[exploringcrypto]

what about reefiding after 1, 2 or 3 days fast?

[chassanaly]

Loren,

I am currently doing a water fast for losing weight, and i am very concerned about the right diet to adopt after a water fast.
Can you please tell me how to refeed properly after a long period of fasting, and not gaining the weight back?
That would be really helpful.
I would appreciate your kind reply.
