10-Day Water Fast: Stunning Results!

In December I did a 10-day water-only fast at True North Health in Santa Rosa, California. It was a great experience. (Correction, my Apo-B number came down 28%, not 16% as I said in the video.)

Jeff, please keep making videos!! They're always so good!

Prolonged water fasting is quite literally a miracle. Nothing comes close to it.

That was a very enlightening video. As an almost vegan, I have eggs once a week from my own chickens, I too overindulged over the holidays and have been fighting to get off those 4 pounds. I’ve gone back to healthy eating but struggling to lose the weight. I’m 65 and run/weight train and sometimes you just assume that you’ll remain healthy but there’s always seems to be the need to keep tweaking our diets. I really appreciate the video, it’s such an inspiration to NOT quit!

Well done, Jeff! Congratulations on your great results.

I appreciate the honesty, Jeff. As always, you are one of the best!

Thanks for sharing your experience. My LP(a) has been high for years and like you, I believed nothing could/would change it. Your results are encouraging! I’m going to TrueNorth in June for a 30-day water fast. I chose to wait until summer because this Floridian dislikes cold weather, and I would like to enjoy outdoor time in the courtyard. 😊

I'm so glad you're back making regular videos again. I really missed you when IG deleted your account and I couldn't find you anymore.

Amazing results! Congratulations!!!🎉🎉🎉

Amazing video.

I think the key part of what you said in the video is you don’t want to be average in a population where most people are dying of heart disease and cancer. Forget about average.

Can’t wait to watch this! Thank you for recapping your fast! ❤❤❤

Thank You for sharing, Jeff. ALWAYS informative and transparent. Appreciate you.

Interesting video, nice to see you focusing on positives for a change. True North is amazing. Having Dr friends is not the same as establishing a trusting connection with a preventative cardiologist which I would say you would be wise to find. I also have a high lp(a) in your range and as a physician myself, a connection with a preventative cardiologist who understands my goals and what my limits are is invaluable.

I am curious about your diet before the fast. I thought that you ate healthfully but yet your numbers were so bad. How careful were you with your diet before the fast? Do you think the bad cholesterol and other numbers were mostly due to what you ate on Thanksgiving weekend? What are the specific dietary changes you have made post fasting? Are you eating zero salt now? How much fat? I would love a video with more details about the food.

[JackR]

Surprisingly high numbers before the fast even though you have been vegan for years.

Thank you for sharing your experience and motivating others. Sounds like a well worthwhile experience.

[subversivevegan]

Jeff, I really respect you and appreciate your sharing the details of your experience! I am in!

[andrewilliamson]

Good on you for sharing. Very enlightening.

Thanks for this video, Jeff. It's very helpful to see your actual results rather than hear mere abstractions. While I have always believed the "good doctors" (McDougall, Goldhamer, Novick, Esselstyn, et.al.) the info sinks in differently for me when I see not only real numbers, but those from someone who is outwardly healthy and already living a healthy lifestyle. This has had quite an impact on me - thanks!

[Galahad_Augevit]

Thanks for replying to those w/ the most obvious question of how your numbers were high on a long-term vegan starch-based diet for so long.

Congratulations on your occasional win on your half-marathon age group! 🎉 That is wonderful!!
