I just completed a 72 hr fast.. it was SOOOO HARD cooking meals for my kids, knowing I wasn’t going to get any of it ... but I made it through!

I think it's best for me to keep this fast a secret from family and friends. They get really judgemental about things like this and say things like oh you're starving yourself that's so unhealthy

Steve, you have a voice for radio and the looks for TV. What a combination. Thanks for all of your hard work.

51 hours in, very overweight and addicted to food. Honestly wouldn’t have been able to do it but my gf dumped me, Not even thinking about food and I feel great. Gonna try to go a week.

Brother you need to be on TV, you have an AMAZING VOICE and your on screen presence is powerful!

I fast the first 5 days of every month. The first day can be hard. I keep going to the kitchen out of habit. By the third day I get a boost of energy that is not to be believed. By the fifth day I have to remind myself I will be eating again tomorrow and to have something in the house to eat. I love my fasting days. Except the first day.

Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm at the beginning of day three of what I'm estimating to be a 72-hour fast. But this is not my first time. It's always good to hear someone else doing this for their health as it is motivational material during my fast.

Well I'm 24 hours into my first ever 72 hour fast. Decided to have a reboot at 49 years of age and with this lockdown I think its ideal time .

Just hit 72 hours on my water fast and am definitely going to sleep on another empty stomach because for some reason, this third day, i've felt SO energized and literally ... no appetite. which is a bit scary. might make this a 100+ hour fast!! Appreciate your videos!

When I was really overweight depressed I did not eat for 2 days and it kick started my weight loss journey.
Fasting has its benefits.

Most informative of all I’ve watched in prep for my first 72 hr fast. I’m a swimmer so curious how it will affect that. You spoke to your experience w walking and sprints. Very helpful info. And thank you for your service to our country

I just watched another of your videos, when you were heavier- and you look SO YOUNG NOW!! Wow, thank you for this great video. I got inspired. 😊

I'm currently doing rolling 72 hr fasts. I'm a 6'5" 42 year old male. I ate dinner on a Saturday night. Weighed in Sunday morning at 264 lbs. Broke my first fast Tuesday night and ate keto friendly (steak, eggs, salad, sauerkraut, pickles). 42 minutes after breaking my fast I started another. Use a fasting app it helps. I'm currently about 9 hours from breaking second consecutive 72 hr fast. I've done two days of treadmill work (30 minute sessions) and lifted weights. As of this mornings weigh-in I'm down 14.2 lbs. I did my first weigh-in Sunday AM. Today is Friday AM. 14.2 lbs. I feel great btw!

I love your candor, honesty, and transparency!

Today is day one of my first ever 72 hour fast. I’m 63 and am looking to kind of reset my system. Wish me luck.😊

I'm so glad your videos showed up in my feed. I do OMAD often and IF of 18-20 hours about 5 days a week. I try to switch it up so my body is never used to eating the same time everyday. The longest fast I've done was 32 hours (made a mistake and thought I hit 36 hours, err) and that was really easy. After watching your videos I decided I'm going to do a 48 hour fast or longer depending on how I feel. Considering it's morning and 12 hours have already passed, I thought why not? Maybe not planning it is the best way for me to do it. I like the way you explained on how you were feeling before, during and after the fast. Congrats to you! Thank you...

I have been doing a 42 hour fast once a week now and loving it. Tonight I decided on doing a 72 hour fast. Appreciate the video.

[stumcmuffin]

I am new to everything Keto, been on it for only 5 weeks & everyday is a school day!. Your channel is so informative, helpful & entertaining, thank you. What I also like about it is - you appear to reply to ALL the messages, brilliant.
