Why I Changed My Mind About Fasting

Here is why I changed my mind about intermittent fasting...

In this clip, Georgi and I discuss the downsides of intermittent fasting for optimal health...

I strongly believe diet is the biggest lever you can pull to heal and improve your health...

It's always meat / organs / fruit / honey / raw dairy.

This is an ANIMAL-BASED diet, and I believe this is the most optimal diet for humans on the planet...

Fasting changed my life and rid me of chronic disease, inflammation, metabolic syndrome, the list goes on and on. Paul can take away my chocolate, AirPods, LED lights, vegetables, but I will never stop fasting.

Fasting is one of the best ways I have to avoid pain, and it also helps me wake up feeling refreshed. I love fasting and I feel great about it.

Fasting is ancestrally appropriate, we aren’t meant to eat all the time .

[vinterskog]

I mean no disrespect, but that guy does not look like someone I would take health advice from...

Fasting works well for everyone as long as you aren't depleted of nutrients. I fast all the time and I'm shredded, it only affects muscles mass if I go on a fast for numerous days but not simply intermittent fasting

[DevilsRejection]

I spent the last few years trying every single permutation of fasting and the conclusion I've come to is that one 24 hour fast a week is great to settle any GI issues and that a 72 hour fast every two to three months is good for a little reset. I say this as a late 30s male who played sports in High School and college and have spent my entire adulthood lifting weights and doing cardio at least three days a week, usually four days a week. I fast when I'm sick. I fast when I hurt myself in the gym (shoulders, knees, back, etc., rare I hurt myself, but it happens). I fast when I know I've been eating a little too decadently. It helps build discipline. More importantly, it got me out of the mindset that I need to eat every three to four hours or I'll lose all my muscle.

My husband and I do intermittent fasting: first meal around 11:30, the second and the last meal is around 5 o’clock. We can have green tea in between with Lemon, that’s pretty much it. The best thing we have ever done to ourselves! My husband lost 25 pounds, Got off his blood pressure medication, is full of energy we walk at least 10 to 13, 000 steps every day in addition to our early gym workout). I keep my two cancer at B without any chemotherapy or radiation, and have never looked or felt better in my life. The guy sounds knowledgeable and convincing, but they are other scientific studies and evidence that fasting is the best way to deal with your chronic diseases, especially, prevention of it. Elderly and frail people would not fast anyway. Increase level of cortisol will bring to immunosuppression, but also to elevated blood sugar level, and you will end up with diabetes, which we all are trying to avoid. Even sucrose, glucose, and other fake sugars? I don’t think so. I do not need to increase autophagy by creating a new field for cancers .

This is a clip from 3-4 years ago. I used to be an avid extended faster but not anymore. I no longer recommend beyond 72 hrs unless for specific reasons. With that said, the guy talking probably can benefit from some fasting himself.

I eat dinner at 7pm on Saturday then fast until 7pm dinner on Sunday. Easy and I feel great

[Aphelinne]

I actually enjoy fasting. Eating breakfast or lunch makes me feel sluggish at work and its just easy

[XTR]

Before fasting became a trend in the online fitness community, due to being a warehouse supervisor, overtime, etc. It felt like my personal time was limited which resulted in me not being able to get in breakfast. For at least a decade prior to then, I preached that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, based on what I did and before intermittent fasting became a trend, I discovered that I had more energy with my physical job by not eating during the morning. Hell, skipping lunch was great. Getting home and eating a wonderful dinner not only tasted better but left me more fulfilled, relaxed and I slept better. My dad used to only eat dinner. Sure, he had his coffee with cream in the morning and he wasn’t concerned with health but still.

He is not saying fasting is bad, but only that is not working for everybody, i appreciate his approach, it gave sooo.. much interesting information, great material!

Almost 4 years ago I went on intermittent fasting (IF) mainly to lose weight. 6 months later I had reduced enough to go from "BMI Obese" category to "BMI Normal" category. For 3 years afterwards I intermittent fasted as needed to maintain the weight loss. So, I was IF on and off for 3 years. I noticed during this time that I felt better when I consistently intermittent fasted every day. So, last month I went back to consistent IF. Sure enough, I feel better. Plus, I dropped an additional 10 pounds which overall was beneficial.

I have seen way too many obese people going into their 60's and 70's that did not live very much longer. At 69 I was obese and did not want to be one of those people. A lot of what you should or should not do depends upon how your body feels overall, not just for a few hours. Doing a whole lot better physically than when I was 69. Age: 73.

Watching this as a 50 year old mom of 4, 115 lbs with Hashimoto doing my quarterly 3 day fast. I've lowered the amount of thryoid meds I use by half and can alternate days I take it and my labs are still in the sweet spot. Fasting for the win. 💪

It’s no coincidence that book called Secret Testosterone Nexus of Evolution is barely talked about, most people have no idea what’s truly holding them back in life.

[MiaRudiger]

What’s truly crazy is, once you read The Secret Health Reset you realize how blinded you were, but it’s never too late. That book has some serious knowledge, life changing.

Intermittent fasting changed my life. I started about 8 years ago. I was eating healthy but I was still overweight, always sluggish and in chronic pain. I started fasting and I haven't felt so good since my 20s. I am in my 50s now. I lost weight, body aches are gone and I am very energetic. My eating window is from 2pm to 6pm. I eat whatever I want (nothing processed). The supplements I take daily- 2 superbeets, 20k IUs of vitamin D, turmeric, 480mg of magnesium glycinate, 125mg of ginkgo biloba, milk thistle and 665mg hawthorn berry's. Since this change my blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol is at normal levels! It is different applications for everyone. And everyone online has a different opinion you need to find what works best for you.
