4
:A longer, fast for additional benefits.
5
:Well, wherever you are on the fasting
journey, today's episode is going to
6
:teach you how to fast, why you should
fast, what the benefits of fasting are.
7
:Tools you can use while fasting
to make your fast, more enjoyable.
8
:And finally differentiate the benefits
between a short, fast and a long, fast.
9
:As always at the end of this episode,
I'll provide a recap and breakdown
10
:of the different topics covered to
ensure that you have actionable steps
11
:to take away from today's episode and
apply to your life after tuning in.
12
:This is the elemental Evan podcast.
13
:And I'm your host, Evan Roberts on
this show, I break down health topics
14
:from a simple and holistic perspective.
15
:Making health information
accessible for everyone.
16
:And for this episode, if you've been
following my Instagram here over the last
17
:week, or at least my Instagram stories.
18
:Then you definitely know that I
recently just completed a five
19
:day fast about three days ago.
20
:I've never done a five day fast
before I've only done three day
21
:fast before this last five day one.
22
:And let me tell you it was.
23
:Pretty insane.
24
:I don't know it was crazy.
25
:It was, it was a good
experience overall, for sure.
26
:Um, but definitely a wild experience
getting into days four and five.
27
:So I think that's probably the best place
to really kick this episode off is really
28
:just a quick recap of my experiences
going through, uh, this five day fast.
29
:So don't worry.
30
:I'm not going to spend a ton of
time here, but I'll just kind of
31
:explain how the fast went for me and
really just starting with day one.
32
:Um, I mean, I do.
33
:24 hour fast, pretty regularly.
34
:It's nothing.
35
:Uh, really out of the normal for me.
36
:So the first day was really quite simple.
37
:Uh, just kind of viewed it as a 24 day
fat or sorry, 24 hour fast and, uh, you
38
:know, no real hunger cravings, nothing,
nothing really out of this world.
39
:The only thing that really happened
was I would randomly like get up
40
:and start walking into the kitchen.
41
:Like I was going to go grab
a snack and I just had to
42
:remind myself like, okay, what.
43
:What the heck are you doing?
44
:Why are you walking into the kitchen here?
45
:Trying to go grab a snack coffee.
46
:So you're on a fast.
47
:Um, so it was really weird.
48
:It was like almost like second nature.
49
:Secondhand nature for me to just get up
and walk into the kitchen and kind of
50
:browse the fridge for whatever I have.
51
:So, uh, really that was
great to break that habit.
52
:At least during this five day fast.
53
:Cause it only lasted the first day, which
I'm grateful that it only lasted one day
54
:because that would have really sucked.
55
:If on like day four, I.
56
:I randomly get up and go into the
fridge and grab something and take a
57
:little bite out of something that would
have been a real pain in the butt.
58
:But that never happened.
59
:And so it was only on day one
that I would randomly stand up and
60
:start walking towards the kitchen.
61
:Uh, and in terms of day to
day too, is always where kind
62
:of the difficulty starts.
63
:It's usually day two and day three
for me, but on day two, Definitely
64
:the hunger kind of sets in your
cravings, kick up really heavily.
65
:Um, you know, you see commercials
for food horror on Instagram or
66
:whatever it might be, and it is.
67
:Yeah.
68
:I mean, it's, it's tough.
69
:Like you, you definitely
want to taste food.
70
:You're hungry at this point.
71
:Um, I did have a little bit of
a headache waking up on day two,
72
:which was very likely from a lack of
hydration and some high quality salt.
73
:So, yeah, that was not too tough
of a day, but still pretty hard.
74
:Like I said, day two and three are
usually the hardest days for me.
75
:Um, and also on top of that, I mean
it's day two and you realize, okay.
76
:After today I still have three
whole days, which for a person who's
77
:only done a three-day fast prior to
this can be a little bit daunting.
78
:Uh, but nonetheless made it
through, got onto day three.
79
:Day three.
80
:Once again, still had the
hunger, still had some cravings.
81
:Um, but.
82
:One thing that was good is I didn't
have the headache that I had on day two.
83
:And on top of that, you really start
to kind of feel the benefits of.
84
:Of the fast in, in like
a good sense, right?
85
:Because when you are doing a prolonged
fast, there is this point where.
86
:I don't know if it's ketosis
or what it is, but you hit like
87
:some serious mental clarity.
88
:Like you have laser focus, you can really
focus in on a task very, very well.
89
:Um, you don't have a lot of
random thoughts going on.
90
:I'm pretty sure this has something to
do with the fact that thoughts consume
91
:energy and your body is trying to be
conservative in the energy that it uses.
92
:So it's not giving a lot of energy to
your brain to just think random thoughts.
93
:I think, you know, I'm just
guessing here, but I'm, I'm pretty
94
:sure it's because your brain.
95
:Uh, really wants to just focus on the task
at hand and the things that are important.
96
:So it's a very cool experience.
97
:I've felt it before on a three-day fast.
98
:Uh, but yeah, it was pretty cool.
99
:I started to get into
that on this day, three.
100
:And also something that
was interesting on day two.
101
:Uh, sorry, the night of day two.
102
:I actually had a dream
that I broke my fast.
103
:Which was crazy.
104
:I woke up and I was super mad at myself.
105
:Um, but you can just tell that it was
really in the back of my mind and it
106
:was taking a lot of willpower out of
me, at least in those first two days.
107
:And then on day four, I honestly
felt really good by day four.
108
:I felt.
109
:You know, incredible was really feeling
the beneficial effects of being in a fast.
110
:Uh, at that point, hunger and cravings,
like they're gone your body at this point.
111
:Really just knows that.
112
:You're not getting food and
you know, this is just life.
113
:Like, I don't know.
114
:There's no food out there.
115
:So there's no point in really kind of
asking, I guess, is what it's doing.
116
:I'm not totally sure.
117
:But nonetheless.
118
:You really don't have super
crazy cravings or hunger.
119
:Um, I was able to be around food
on day four and like never once
120
:was I really tempted to try to
grab some food and taste it.
121
:Of course you're like wanting
to taste stuff because food
122
:tastes amazing, especially after
four days of no food at all.
123
:So that was a little difficult.
124
:But overall, I mean, yeah, you feel
really, really good on day four.
125
:I think actually the hardest thing
about day four was just knowing.
126
:That there was an entire additional day.
127
:Uh, after day four.
128
:So.
129
:Really day for not too bad.
130
:Day five.
131
:I was deep in the fast,
like really feeling the.
132
:Crazy sensations of being in a fast, like.
133
:I don't, it's almost kind
of hard to put into words.
134
:Like you feel kind of grounded in
your body, but elevated, like you
135
:can laser focus on a task, but then
you can also just zone out, like
136
:completely zone out really easily.
137
:And, um, if you meditate on that day,
for example, like you can have some
138
:pretty interesting deep meditations.
139
:Um, yeah, I don't know.
140
:You're kind of in this
like lucid state, which.
141
:In the best sense possible, right?
142
:Like not like you don't have control
of your body or anything like that.
143
:It's just, everything is a little
bit more heightened, I would say.
144
:Um, Yeah, I don't know.
145
:You just feel like you're buzzing.
146
:It's it's a, it's a trip.
147
:I, I feel like my words are not
going to be accurately describing
148
:it, so probably just best to be
something that is experienced and.
149
:You know, probably would
be different for everybody.
150
:Uh, but nonetheless, it was a
very, very interesting experience.
151
:And then, uh, following day five,
obviously I broke my fast that evening.
152
:I had hit 120 hours without
taking one single bite of food.
153
:Uh, really, really crazy.
154
:I.
155
:The way I broke my fast was I actually
took some spirulina from energy bits and
156
:some claustrum from tri arm WRA claustrum.
157
:About 30 minutes before
drinking bone broth.
158
:So, uh, at the, it was eight 30 was when
I was able to officially consume food.
159
:Uh, so at that point, that's why I
took the spirulina and claustrum.
160
:And then at nine o'clock is when I went
ahead and had some bone broth followed
161
:up by some steamed brussel sprouts.
162
:So, let me tell you, there is.
163
:There is no better tasting
food in this world.
164
:Then any food you eat on day five?
165
:It is.
166
:It's the craziest thing in the world.
167
:Like I.
168
:The best way for me to describe this is
when I started drinking that bone broth.
169
:So I sat down, I like meditated.
170
:I prayed, I, I gave thanks to the
bone broth to my body, um, to my
171
:willpower, to me, you know, to
just life in general and just.
172
:Yeah.
173
:It was like feeling super grateful and was
able to just meditate and pray for a bit.
174
:There.
175
:And then took my first
swig of bone broth and.
176
:When you have that bone broth,
like brush over your tongue.
177
:It made me think of, I don't know
if you've ever seen those diagrams
178
:of a tongue, but it shows like the
different areas on your tongue bat.
179
:Pick up different flavors, right?
180
:Like part of your tongue picks up
sour and part of it picks up salt
181
:and part of it picks up sweet.
182
:Well, It's really feels like
that's going on in your mouth.
183
:Like as the, uh, bone broth,
like swept over my tongue.
184
:Like some parts were picking
up just massive salty.
185
:Some parts were picking up umami.
186
:Some parts were picking up a little sour
from the apple cider vinegar in there.
187
:Like it was insane.
188
:And, and personally, I actually don't
have the best sense of smell or taste.
189
:So for me, it's, it's really
wild to experience that.
190
:But.
191
:Yeah, it was, it was the
best tasting thing ever.
192
:Um, and then follow that with
some Brussels sprouts, like.
193
:My taste buds were to the moon.
194
:It was, it was.
195
:Oh, my.
196
:We're the best brussel sprouts
I've literally ever had in my life.
197
:So, and they were just steamed,
like I sprinkled some salt on there.
198
:Like.
199
:That was, that was the maximum.
200
:So it was crazy.
201
:Um, I think that experience in
it, in an in and of itself is.
202
:Like so rewarding for doing the fast, like
just the appreciation you have for food.
203
:Following a fast is so
wild and it's really cool.
204
:I feel like with the five day
fast, I've been able to carry
205
:that appreciation for food.
206
:Um, you know, along the next couple days,
like I'm three days out from my five day
207
:fast and every time I'm sitting down for
a meal, I'm just filled with gratitude.
208
:I don't even have to try.
209
:It's not like I'm sitting
down and giving a prayer.
210
:I literally am just like, oh my God,
thank you so much for this food.
211
:It's it's really wild.
212
:And I'm personally enjoying it.
213
:I think it's a really awesome.
214
:But.
215
:Uh, one question I would get
all the time from people while
216
:I was doing this fast was.
217
:The most obvious question,
which is why do you fast?
218
:And you know, not to like throw anyone
under the bus here or anything, but
219
:it's definitely the older crowd.
220
:I feel like they tend to not
understand what the deal is with
221
:fasting, which, Hey, totally get it.
222
:Um, a lot of people would ask me if it
was like a religious fast, which it's
223
:not, but of course, in my opinion, I think
there's a spiritual portion to every fast.
224
:It's almost hard to not have that
because you just feel so tapped in to.
225
:I don't even know what it is.
226
:Like you just, you feel tapped into some
source or your body it's, I don't know.
227
:Like you got a fast to,
to really feel that.
228
:Um, so personally I feel like there's
a spiritual portion to every fast.
229
:Uh, but yeah, mainly the reasons
that I personally fast and the main
230
:points that I really like highlight
to people are specifically the health
231
:portions of a fast, as well as the
mental strength portions to a fast.
232
:So those are really like the two main
reasons why I fast and in terms of.
233
:Health benefits that you
can receive from fasting.
234
:Um, there's like a laundry list of
different benefits from fasting that.
235
:Would take up the entire show.
236
:So I'm, I'm going to keep it pretty
short here and really just highlight
237
:the main ones that I kind of focus on.
238
:And that I, I don't know, feel like are
most beneficial for me, I guess, but, uh,
239
:the main ones are definitely going to be
a, TOF a G that's super high on my list.
240
:Um, H G H kind of falls
in that same category.
241
:So autophagy.
242
:Literally is kind of like your body's.
243
:Cleaning house.
244
:Mechanism where at a cellular level,
your body will go through and actually
245
:like find cells that have parts of
the cell that are working properly.
246
:Maybe they're older, defective
or something, and they will
247
:break them down, get rid of them
and put in a brand new park.
248
:Right.
249
:So it's almost like if
you think of like a car.
250
:It's like going through your car and
seeing like, what parts are old, what
251
:parts are about to go bad or what parts
already are bad and then changing them
252
:out so that your engine and your car are
like, Running like they're brand new.
253
:So.
254
:Uh, tophi G is, yeah.
255
:It's your cleaning house.
256
:It makes you work better
on a cellular level.
257
:Like you're more efficient literally
at the cellular level because
258
:your cells have been upgraded.
259
:Uh, so I really love autophagy.
260
:It's one of the big reasons
why I fast in the first place.
261
:And, uh, yeah, it just makes
your body work better overall.
262
:And.
263
:We still kind of don't know why
when we fast autophagy kicks in.
264
:Um, what I've heard is people kind of
speculate that since we're no longer
265
:consuming food, our body is able to take
the energy that would have been spent.
266
:Uh, digesting the food and instead.
267
:You know, use it on our body
and kind of clean up our body.
268
:Uh, at a cellular level.
269
:And then in terms of H G H M,
that is human growth hormone.
270
:It's a peptide hormone that
stimulates growth cell reproduction
271
:and cell regeneration in humans.
272
:Um, it's usually looked to as an
anti-aging tool and pretty much
273
:helps to maintain tissues and organs.
274
:So.
275
:Really really beneficial.
276
:I mean, anti-aging, who's obviously
not like interested in that.
277
:So a lot of benefit with
both autophagy and H G H.
278
:Um, There.
279
:There is.
280
:As well, so sorry for this next one.
281
:I'll just.
282
:I don't know.
283
:Well, okay, I'll come out
and just say it first.
284
:So the next one is ketosis, right?
285
:Like fat loss during ketosis,
but I don't really like to
286
:highlight this for extended fast.
287
:Um, I usually talk about this more
with intermittent fasting because
288
:I don't actually think that a
long-term fast should really be
289
:specifically used for losing weight.
290
:Um, first off in general, if you have any
kind of an eating disorder, like fasting
291
:might not be the route that you want to
go, if you really, really want to fast,
292
:and you do have eating disorders, you
absolutely should be in touch with a very
293
:highly trained medical professional who.
294
:Who has tons of knowledge on this
and can guide you the entire time.
295
:Uh, but in terms of just
fat loss overall, yes.
296
:When you are doing a fast,
especially an extended fast, like
297
:this, your body is going to get
into a state of ketosis because.
298
:You are no longer feeding
yourself carbs and sugars.
299
:So your body no longer has
those as a fuel source.
300
:So what is your body
start to use for fuel?
301
:Well, it starts to use fat.
302
:And of course we have fat
stored up in our fat cells.
303
:So your body goes into ketosis, which
means that basically it's now using
304
:your fat stores as a source of energy.
305
:So yes, you are going to lose some
fat, especially on an extended
306
:fast, like I did for five days.
307
:And yes, of course, like for example,
I did lose, uh, 12 pounds during my
308
:five day fast, which sounds insane.
309
:Right?
310
:Like 12 pounds in five days is crazy.
311
:Uh, but.
312
:The caveat to that is that a lot
of that weight was just Waterweight
313
:it's weight that you're going to
gain back really, really quickly.
314
:Uh, for example, like the following
day, I mean, I didn't weigh myself,
315
:but you probably put back on like
three pounds the next following day.
316
:So.
317
:It's.
318
:Yeah, it's just not, I don't like
to highlight it for weight loss.
319
:I think intermittent fasting is
much more useful and beneficial
320
:in terms of weight loss.
321
:But nonetheless, for people who
are concerned with ketosis or
322
:interested in it, Uh, yes, of course,
during a prolonged five day fast.
323
:You are definitely in a state of ketosis.
324
:Uh, two other things that I'm going
to highlight here in terms of health.
325
:Is the insulin sensitivity.
326
:So you have increased insulin
sensitivity during a fast, uh, this
327
:is highly beneficial for literally the
entire population because we consume.
328
:Crazy amounts of sugars and carbohydrates.
329
:And this is really not good for
our insulin sensitivity and can
330
:lead to people being pre-diabetic
and eventually diabetic.
331
:Uh, so anything that's going to help
improve our insulin sensitivity is
332
:going to be of a massive benefit for.
333
:I don't know, 90% of the population,
like it's, it's just a benefit for sure.
334
:And then last but not least.
335
:Um, I love this portion, which is it
literally just gives your body a break.
336
:Uh, there's so many people out there
who, from the moment they wake up to the
337
:moment they go to bed, they're pretty much
eating like every two hours, some kind
338
:of a food, which means that your body.
339
:I only has eight hours at night where
it doesn't have to be consuming food,
340
:breaking it down, trying to assimilate
it into the body, using it, you know,
341
:the digestive system having to then
flush the system out, you know, and
342
:going to the restroom and all this stuff.
343
:Right.
344
:So when you do a fast what's so cool is
you just literally give your body a break.
345
:You allow it to.
346
:Rest.
347
:Uh, lax for one moment.
348
:Um, you know, literally everything
from your mouth, all the way
349
:down to your backside is getting
a massive break from, you know,
350
:especially your, uh, your stomach or
intestines, as well as your liver.
351
:Your liver receives, um, a lot
of benefit when you're fasting.
352
:Which, uh, the liver's so important.
353
:It does a lot of really
important tasks in the body.
354
:So it's just awesome to know that
you're giving all of that a break.
355
:Um, It's also beneficial for gut bacteria
because you know, if you have overgrowth
356
:of bad gut bacteria, this can sometimes
help to regulate that and actually get
357
:rid of some of those bad gut bacteria.
358
:Uh, so yeah, just a ton of benefit.
359
:Like you'll, you'll notice, uh, if
you deal with digestive issues like
360
:myself, um, if you don't listen
to this podcast, often I grew up
361
:with a lot of gastrointestinal
issues, primarily IBS, um, just to
362
:kind of put a term on it really.
363
:Uh, but when I do a fast, it is
probably the most per found thing
364
:when it comes to digestive health.
365
:Out of anything I've ever tried it.
366
:In my life.
367
:When I fast, I have better digestion
for like a week or two after then.
368
:Doing any other type of, you know, Thing
that would be beneficial for digestion
369
:like probiotics or whatever, right?
370
:Like fastening 100% is the best thing
that I've ever done for my digestion.
371
:Of course everyone's different, but
I've heard from many people that they
372
:receive this same kind of benefit
in their digestion from fasting.
373
:And then in terms of mental strength, I
really love fasting for mental strength.
374
:And I, I could talk on this topic for
hours, so I'll keep it really short here.
375
:But the first thing is when you
start fasting, even just short,
376
:fast, it's really cool because.
377
:You kind of learn to be in control
of your hunger instead of allowing
378
:your hunger to be in control of you.
379
:There's a lot of people who, you
know, they get super angry and
380
:they just can't function properly.
381
:If they don't have a meal
every like four hours.
382
:Which really kind of sucks
to be a slave to your hunger.
383
:Um, it's very, a very liberating feeling.
384
:Uh, to be able to say, you know what,
I'm, I have a lot of work to do right now.
385
:And I think I'm just going to fast
and skip breakfast or whatever it
386
:might be, uh, for you obviously.
387
:Um, Everything in relation to
your, your life and your needs and
388
:your demands and all of that, but
it is a very liberating feeling.
389
:And yeah, I found a lot of benefit in
just that little simple fact there.
390
:And then on top of that, fasting is hard.
391
:It's a hard thing to do.
392
:Um, if it wasn't hard,
everyone would do it, right?
393
:Like a five day fast is a.
394
:It's a massive task.
395
:Like it is not easy at all.
396
:There's many times where
you're, you're hungry and you
397
:would love to break that fast.
398
:But when you do these
hard things, it just.
399
:You know, shows you how powerful you
are and you can really translate.
400
:That willpower and strength
into other areas of your life.
401
:Like, for example, I'm three days
out from my fast and I feel that
402
:I have a lot more willpower when
it comes to doing things like.
403
:Going for a run in the morning.
404
:For example, this morning, I woke up,
threw on my shoes and went out for a run.
405
:And I had very little
inner chatter with myself.
406
:You know that little
stupid voice in your head.
407
:That's like, oh man, this
bed is so comfortable.
408
:Uh, you don't have to, you
know, be up and at work.
409
:I, you know, a super early time, like
why not just stay in and just relax?
410
:Like you deserve it.
411
:You deserve that rest.
412
:Like, no, I had none of
that this morning I woke up.
413
:I was like, all right, I'm gonna
throw all my shoes and I'm out.
414
:Uh, so I really, really love that.
415
:Benefit of fasting as well.
416
:So, those are pretty much the main
reasons why I fast it's for my health
417
:and it's for my mental strength.
418
:And then in terms of what a fast is.
419
:So, I mean, technically a fast is just
abstaining from literally anything.
420
:So it could be food porn, alcohol,
like whatever you want it to be.
421
:Uh, but in terms of a food
fast, technically, any
422
:calories that you consume.
423
:We'll break your fast.
424
:So.
425
:This is where it starts
to get a little tricky.
426
:Um, if you are a.
427
:Water fast purist.
428
:That means you believe that.
429
:Literally, all you can
have is basically water.
430
:This is one way of
fasting and totally fine.
431
:Like you absolutely can do that, but
I have a slightly different variation
432
:of fasting than I personally do.
433
:So.
434
:True.
435
:I'm not eating food, but I will include
a little tea and a little bit of coffee.
436
:Now.
437
:I'm not adding anything
to the tea or the coffee.
438
:It's literally black coffee
and plain T the T can be green.
439
:It could be black.
440
:It could be, you know,
Earl, gray, whatever.
441
:Uh, but there is nothing added to it.
442
:So the reason.
443
:I do that is personally because
there are polyphenols in coffee and
444
:tea that are going to be beneficial
for your body and for your gut.
445
:Plus they have a appetite suppressing
components to them, so they can kind
446
:of help with curbing your hunger,
which honestly can be so beneficial
447
:when you're doing an extended fast.
448
:And it could be the difference
between you sticking to your fast and.
449
:Breaking your fast.
450
:So I personally include those,
um, coffee, for example, I think
451
:has at most five calories per cup.
452
:So I'm not drinking, you know, four
cups of coffee a day, all drink
453
:one cup of coffee, which I actually
drink coffee on the very first day.
454
:The other four days I drink tea.
455
:And at most I had about.
456
:Two or three cups of tea and
they were not large cups of tea.
457
:They were pretty, uh,
smaller, uh, small sized.
458
:So.
459
:I did consume those.
460
:If you're a water fast purist, um,
you know, that would not be okay.
461
:Uh, but personally I do that because
it feels good when you're consuming it.
462
:Um, it smells good.
463
:It tastes good.
464
:Like it's the only flavor you're
basically getting the entire time you're
465
:on your fast and it can also help.
466
:Uh, to extend your fast and
can I help it feel better?
467
:So you're not just completely
struggling the entire time.
468
:Uh, and then on top of that, I also
include a very high quality salt.
469
:Which I highly highly recommend.
470
:If you are going to do a fast.
471
:Include assault, please.
472
:And I'm not talking that crappy
table salt that costs a dollar
473
:99 at your whatever store.
474
:No go ball out on that
seven $99 salt, right.
475
:Which is, you know, seems like
a crazy price for some salt.
476
:But that Celtic sea salt or what I used
was oryx O R Y X it's a south African
477
:desert salt or something like that.
478
:And the reason I'm saying to use one of
these salts is because they're going to
479
:have trace minerals in them, which are
going to be very beneficial for your body.
480
:And then on top of that, salt is going
to provide electrolytes to your body,
481
:which is going to help with hydration.
482
:And it's also going to help with keeping
away headaches and to help you from not
483
:feeling light headed, which can definitely
happen when you're doing a fast.
484
:So.
485
:Those are the things I
include in my fast personally.
486
:Now, when it comes to.
487
:Do these things break a fast, well,
there's kind of a gray area here.
488
:So when we're looking at a fast and what
constitutes a, a food fast, we're really
489
:kind of looking at things like insulin.
490
:And I believe Tor.
491
:So we do not want insulin or M Tor.
492
:More elevated during a fast, because
technically that would break our fast.
493
:So when you're consuming
calories, those will tend to.
494
:You know, elevate insulin or uh, but
at five calories or less, the, at least
495
:from the research that I was reading.
496
:It seems that the only thing that might
be affected slightly was a tophi G.
497
:And of course the toffee is amazing.
498
:So we want it to be occurring in our body.
499
:But from what I was reading,
it said that at worst.
500
:You know, coffee or whatever
is going to slightly lower.
501
:The levels of autophagy, which in
my opinion is totally worth it.
502
:You're still getting the
benefits of a tophi G.
503
:Maybe it's a little bit less than
it could be, but you know what?
504
:I just had a cup of coffee that
smelled delicious, tasted delicious
505
:and helped me get through a portion
of my day and get on through.
506
:You know, day three day, four
day five, whatever it might be.
507
:So for me, it's personally
absolutely worth it.
508
:You're still receiving the benefits
and it only is going to affect
509
:the toffee for a period of time.
510
:If any at all right, we're still, um, I
think the research is still out on that.
511
:So.
512
:That's the way I do it.
513
:I feel that it's way better,
way more beneficial to have
514
:them than to not have them.
515
:Uh, but of course this is going to be
dependent on, you know, who it is that
516
:you're asking and, uh, you know, kind
of where they stand with this and.
517
:In terms of like ketosis.
518
:Ketosis is, is much different.
519
:Like you can actually consume some
fats and I think even protein and
520
:still stay in a state of ketosis.
521
:Whereas, uh, you know, like the only
things you can't have are basically
522
:like a ton of carbs and stuff.
523
:So, uh, if you pretty much wanted
to just stay in ketosis, you could
524
:actually have some fats and all that.
525
:And if, if that's really what your.
526
:Uh, your goal is then.
527
:You know, it's a little bit different,
but in terms of just like a fast
528
:and trying to really get that deep
autophagy and all that, we really
529
:want to stay away from pretty much.
530
:Any calories at all, aside from, in
my opinion, the few, couple calories
531
:that come from some tea or some coffee.
532
:Now I wanted to also provide a little
breakdown, like kind of an hour by hour
533
:breakdown of what's happening in the body.
534
:During a fast, I had a.
535
:Pretty hard time finding a, what I
would consider reliable, uh, chart
536
:for an hour by hour fast breakdown.
537
:I did come across a doctor
online who had a, uh, broken down
538
:chart, which I personally liked.
539
:And the reason I'm including it in
here is because he provided references.
540
:Oh, I'm sorry.
541
:I believe it's a, he,
I'm not sure, actually.
542
:Um, but they provided references.
543
:And I, uh, you know, I'm happy that
they actually did that because they're
544
:putting their money where their mouth is.
545
:And, you know, we want to make
sure that these people are legit.
546
:So what I'm also going to do is I'm
going to include the link to this,
547
:uh, to this chart in the description
or the show notes of this episode.
548
:So if you'd like to go check it out
and, you know, see how legit this is
549
:for yourself, please by all means do so.
550
:Um, but from what I saw,
it looked pretty legit and.
551
:Comparing it to all the other
things I was reading, it sounds
552
:like it's pretty spot on.
553
:So.
554
:Let's get into this for phase one,
which is going to be zero to four hours.
555
:This is called the anabolic phase, which
is literally just business as usual.
556
:It's your body breaking
down nutrients from food.
557
:Converting them into energy and
then into body tissue, right?
558
:You are what you eat.
559
:The food you're eating is becoming you.
560
:Then phase two is four
to 16 hours without food.
561
:So now this is the catabolic phase, which
is where you begin to metabolize body fat.
562
:As energy and autophagy is activated.
563
:Okay.
564
:So now we're starting to get
into the good stuff, right?
565
:That 16 hour point, that's kind of
like, you know, that intermittent fate.
566
:Uh, intermittent fasting
phase right there.
567
:Then we move on to phase three,
which is now going to be.
568
:Uh, 16 to 24 hours.
569
:So actually getting into
like a full day fast here.
570
:You're going to have fat metabolism,
autophagy, and the production
571
:of human growth hormones, all
increase, which is incredible, like
572
:amazing benefits happen from that.
573
:Then moving into phase four.
574
:So we've got a 24 to 72 hour fast.
575
:So a one day to a three-day fast.
576
:You're going to have increased
production of ketones that fuel most
577
:of your cells in your body while BDNF
brain derived neurotropic factor.
578
:Increases to support brain
function and neuro regeneration.
579
:Then you have phase
five, which is 72 hours.
580
:So three days, and then on the
fat-burning no protective and
581
:anti-aging benefits activated in
the previous hours are all enhanced.
582
:So literally all the stuff
that you were already reaping.
583
:Uh, from the 24 to 72 hour phase is
just going to be increased and it's
584
:just going to continue to do its work.
585
:Uh, for those additional two days.
586
:So.
587
:Uh, doing the five day fast, like I did.
588
:You know, really just allowed
all of those benefits to really
589
:have time to work in the body.
590
:Um, and yeah, it was incredible.
591
:Like I, like I had mentioned earlier, So
now let's go ahead and get in to some of
592
:the good tools that you can actually use
when you're trying to do some fasting.
593
:So let's start off with.
594
:Starting to do a fast.
595
:So if you've literally
never done a fast before.
596
:Hey, you are in the right place.
597
:Um, I'm going to help try to walk you
through how to start doing a fast,
598
:and so if you've never fasted before.
599
:I would highly recommend to
just start small, start out
600
:with a 12 hour fast, right?
601
:Like literally just stop
eating at, I don't know, seven
602
:or eight o'clock at night.
603
:Wake up the next day, have a meal at
seven or eight o'clock in the morning.
604
:Boom, you did a 12 hour fast overnight.
605
:Didn't even have to really think of it.
606
:Super easy and really just starts
to show you that you have some legs.
607
:Then you can go ahead and
increase that a little bit.
608
:You can do a 16 or 18
or maybe a 20 hour fast.
609
:And eventually make your way to
a 24 hour fast, which I know a 24
610
:hour fast might sound daunting for
those of you who have never fasted
611
:before, but it's actually pretty easy.
612
:So I like to start my.
613
:Uh, my fast, the let's
say it's like a Monday.
614
:I will have a really early dinner,
all finished the very last bite
615
:of my dinner at let's say 6:00 PM
on a Monday night, I'll go to bed.
616
:I'll wake up the next day,
six o'clock in the morning.
617
:I'm already 12 hours in I'm halfway there.
618
:And then I will just go ahead,
brew up some coffee or tea.
619
:Drink that for the morning.
620
:Get through my midday and then guess what?
621
:Boom, six o'clock rolls around for
dinner and you can have your meal.
622
:You can break your fast and bam,
you did a 24 hour fast and it
623
:was relatively easy and painless.
624
:And I know it sounds easy.
625
:It might feel kind of hard when
you're actually doing it for the
626
:first time, but once you do it, you
will feel super, super accomplished.
627
:I remember when I first
did a 24 hour fast, I was.
628
:So pumped that I was able to do it.
629
:Um, it was a really, really great feeling.
630
:And then once you do that, Try to
replicate that a few more times, do
631
:a few 24 hour fast here and there
to really get those under your belt.
632
:And then you can just continue
slowly increasing them.
633
:Like, for example, if you do a
24 hour fast, you can do that 24
634
:hour fast and then, you know, six
o'clock at night rules around.
635
:And technically it's time for you to
have dinner and break that 24 hour fast.
636
:But instead you could say, you know what.
637
:I'm just going to go to bed.
638
:And wake up tomorrow morning.
639
:And guess what, if you do that six
o'clock the following morning, you
640
:would be at 36 hours right there.
641
:So you can easily extend these
fast and, you know, get into
642
:like a two day fast, for example.
643
:And slowly, just really once again, get
these under your belt, let's start doing.
644
:A couple of 24 hour fast.
645
:Tri couple 48 hour fast.
646
:I like to include a little bit
of coffee, a little bit of tea.
647
:Like I said, always staying
hydrated with water.
648
:You won't.
649
:Drink, a lot of water, have some salt.
650
:And.
651
:Really, I think the three-day
fast is probably the biggest
652
:step for people to take because.
653
:The two hour or sorry, the two day
fast is pretty tough, but it's not.
654
:It's not too tough.
655
:Like people can manage it, you know,
especially if you've done a 24 hour
656
:fast before, do you just tack on that?
657
:And additional day,
it's not too difficult.
658
:Uh, but the three-day fast seems to be
a bit of a mental barrier, which by the
659
:way, Fasting as a purely mental game.
660
:Uh, yes, you might be hungry and
stuff, but honestly your body is fine.
661
:It's just your mind.
662
:That's playing tricks on you, and
it's really gonna come down to how
663
:well you can control your mind.
664
:Um, that's really what these facts are.
665
:They are a total mental came, so.
666
:Um, when it comes to doing a three-day
fast, you really just have to
667
:mentally psych yourself out for this.
668
:Like, um, if you're going
to do a three-day fast.
669
:You know, day one should be pretty
easy for you at this point, because
670
:you've done multiple 24 hour a
day or 24 hour fast at this point.
671
:Uh, so day one, shouldn't
be too difficult.
672
:It's usually day two.
673
:That's the hardest.
674
:And then day three is probably going to
be kind of hard as well, but you will have
675
:the, you know, the finish line insight.
676
:So that always makes it a lot easier.
677
:Uh, you know, to finish off that
day three, um, and then also on day
678
:three, you can start to feel the,
um, the laser focus affects that.
679
:I've been talking about I'm
usually on day three or day four
680
:is when that starts to kick in.
681
:So you might actually start
to feel some of those effects,
682
:which are really awesome.
683
:Um, but yeah, usually it's day two and
sometimes day three that are actually
684
:the hardest when it comes to fasting.
685
:And then in terms of doing a five
day fast or longer, Honestly, if
686
:you could do a three-day fast,
you can do a five day fast.
687
:It's the only differences
that you have more time.
688
:That's really all it is
like day four and five.
689
:I actually felt better and easier
to manage those days than I did
690
:on days two and three days, two
and three, I had way more hunger.
691
:I had way more cravings.
692
:I even had a headache on day two.
693
:Like all of that stuff.
694
:When it came to Dave days, four
and five, I was so tapped into
695
:this crazy energy source that.
696
:Yeah.
697
:It was like day four and five.
698
:It was just a waiting game for me.
699
:The only thing I was, yeah, it was
just like, it was, I was like, Aw,
700
:man, I just wish I was at day five.
701
:Cause I just want to taste
some food at this point.
702
:Um, so.
703
:If you can do a day
three, a three-day fast.
704
:Absolutely.
705
:Absolutely.
706
:You could do a five day fast.
707
:So really when it comes to fasting,
just take it easy, start slow,
708
:get a few steps underneath your
belt and then work your way up.
709
:Um, I would highly recommend that and
then just keep occupied, keep busy.
710
:Um, if you can keep busy, it's gonna
keep your mind off of food, which
711
:obviously is going to be of benefit here.
712
:And, uh, you know, take a lot of walks.
713
:Probably don't do anything too
strenuous, like working out.
714
:Might not be the best idea.
715
:Um, I do know people who actually do
work out while they're in a pretty
716
:deep, fast, which I don't usually do.
717
:Actually.
718
:I just go for like walks and stuff,
but I have a friend of mine who did
719
:this five day fast with me and he is
a personal trainer and he was doing.
720
:Training clients like the
entire time, like he's insane.
721
:Um, so he did do it, but, uh, yeah, I
would, I would personally recommend taking
722
:it easy and really listening to your body.
723
:Uh, but yeah, that is that's,
that's the way to do it right there.
724
:Start small and just build your way up.
725
:It's not as difficult as you
think it's just a mental game.
726
:And then in terms of some tools
that you can use for fasting.
727
:This is.
728
:Yeah, these are really,
really beneficial, actually.
729
:So I'm just going to reiterate
first off, start small, if
730
:you've never fascinated, right.
731
:Want to build our way up.
732
:We don't want to just jump into
a three-day fast right away.
733
:Um, but one thing that is so
beneficial is activated charcoal.
734
:So if you have never fasted before.
735
:And you start doing like intermittent
fasting or a 24 hour fast.
736
:Absolutely go get yourself
some activated charcoal.
737
:The reason I'm saying that is because
when you start getting into that state
738
:of ketosis, you can release some toxins
that have been stored up in your body.
739
:And you can have what's
called the keto flu.
740
:Which is no fun at all.
741
:It is literally like flu, like symptoms.
742
:And if you take activated charcoal, you
can help bind the activated charcoal
743
:to these toxins and remove them for
your body before they have the chance
744
:to cause this kind of keto flu in you.
745
:So.
746
:I highly recommend that.
747
:Um, in terms of a brand
for activated charcoal.
748
:Just just choose whichever
reputable brand works for you
749
:is probably going to be fine.
750
:Um, I used Bulletproof and
their coconut charcoal.
751
:Um, I like it.
752
:I don't know.
753
:I liked the brand, so that's pretty
much why I use it, but I would pretty
754
:much just say, find a brand that
you feel, you know, confident in.
755
:And it's probably going to be a good one.
756
:And then of course, coffee and tea.
757
:I know I've already spoken on
them, but seriously, the polythene.
758
:The polyphenols that are in coffee
and tea are so beneficial for your
759
:gut and other things in your body.
760
:But they're also really great because
they do have a hunger suppressing
761
:components to them as well.
762
:So, um, you know, when you're going
through fast, it's just really nice
763
:to have like a warm hug of something
that is not water and actually has a
764
:slight flavor and some smell to it.
765
:Uh, it's really beneficial
and it can really, once again,
766
:this is all a mental game.
767
:So anything that can be a mental
win is going to be a benefit here.
768
:And of course salt do not fast
without it, in my opinion.
769
:You should absolutely be using salt.
770
:Don't use a low quality salt,
use a high quality salt, like a
771
:Celtic, sea salt, or the ORIC salt.
772
:Um, you know, Redmond
salt can work as well.
773
:Really really, really want a high
quality salt for the minerals
774
:as well as the electrolytes.
775
:And so if you aren't using those chances
are, you're probably going to have some
776
:headaches and you're probably going
to be pretty faint and lightheaded.
777
:In terms of probiotics.
778
:This is one that I get asked a lot.
779
:Hey, can I take my probiotics while I'm
still, you know, while I'm doing a fast.
780
:Uh, for the most part, yes.
781
:I've seen that.
782
:It seems like a lot of probiotics are
okay to use while you're fasting, but
783
:you know, if you're not sure on your
probiotics specifically in terms of, you
784
:know, I don't know, calories or whatever.
785
:Um, then don't take it, you
know, like it's only going
786
:to be for a couple of days.
787
:Not that big of a deal.
788
:You can just start taking
them after your fast.
789
:Uh, you're still going to receive a
ton of benefit from doing the fast, so,
790
:uh, for, for your gut specifically, so.
791
:You know, if you're, if you're
unsure, just don't take, it would
792
:be my recommendation, I guess.
793
:Um, but yeah, you could also do
a fast, that is a, uh, like a gut
794
:cleanse or a gut rebuilding, uh,
fast, which are very beneficial.
795
:And if you're doing that
one, then yeah, absolutely.
796
:Take your.
797
:Um, you know, take your probiotic,
your prebiotic, your post biotic, take
798
:your colostrum, uh, take bone broth.
799
:You know, like take all this stuff
to, to benefit your, uh, gut health.
800
:If you're doing something like that.
801
:And then, uh, last but not least is going
to be like how you break your fast, which.
802
:Is really, really important.
803
:So when it comes to breaking a fast.
804
:You really want to choose foods that
are going to be ultra nourishing
805
:and you know, just like the cleanest
food you can possibly think of.
806
:So for me personally, the
way I break my fast is.
807
:I started off with the
claustrum and the spirulina.
808
:The reason I do that is because
your body is ready to absorb and
809
:utilize whatever the heck it is.
810
:You first put in your mouth.
811
:So I wanted to make sure that I was
putting in things that were really high
812
:in, you know, minerals and vitamins.
813
:Um, you know, all the beneficial nutrients
that my body would crave and need.
814
:Uh, you know, Gut boosting and building
properties of colostrum that are also
815
:going to help with the immune system.
816
:And yeah, just be super, super
beneficial, which is why I
817
:specifically chose those two.
818
:And by the way, if you are not already
using claustrum or spirulina or
819
:chlorella, I highly recommend they
are like my two supplements that I
820
:just absolutely take every single day.
821
:Like I will not pretty much go a
day without taking those except for
822
:what I was on the fast, obviously.
823
:Um, but if you want to try out some
of those check out the description
824
:or shownotes or whatever you want
to call it, uh, because there is
825
:going to be a discount code in there,
and they're truly just the highest
826
:quality of colostrum and spirulina
that I've personally found through
827
:all of my years of trying out all of.
828
:These different, uh, health
foods and supplements.
829
:So.
830
:Highly highly recommend those.
831
:And if you want to break your fast
with that, I think it's a great idea.
832
:I'm happy that I did it that way.
833
:But then following that up with some food.
834
:I always start with bone broth.
835
:For me, bone broth is just the best
thing to eat right after fasting.
836
:And that's because you're going
to get electrolytes from it.
837
:You're going to have, uh,
properties in there that are
838
:going to help rebuild your gut.
839
:Um, it's super light on the body
and, uh, just very, very nourishing.
840
:So.
841
:That's usually how I start it.
842
:Um, of course you can do it however
you want, but whatever you do, I
843
:recommend doing very, very light
things, nothing too crazy and flavor,
844
:especially not that first meal.
845
:Like I literally did bone broth and
then, uh, steamed brussel sprouts
846
:with a pinch of salt on them.
847
:So.
848
:Very very bland in flavor.
849
:And then the next morning I woke
up, I had more bone broth and
850
:then I did, um, some sauerkraut.
851
:So I was getting a
fermented food in there.
852
:I did a little bit of Kiefer and
I did a little bit of scrambled
853
:eggs to get some protein in there.
854
:And then following that throughout the
day, then, you know, your next meal after
855
:like your lunch, it could be, you know,
it could have a little bit of protein in
856
:there, like animal protein, if you eat
animal protein, um, if you don't, uh, of
857
:course you can, I dunno, do a different
kind of, uh, food based protein, like pea
858
:protein or tofu or something like that.
859
:But yeah, you can start integrating
those more into your diet.
860
:Um, and then by dinner time,
honestly, you can, you know, You could
861
:pretty much have whatever you want.
862
:You're like 24 hours out of your fast.
863
:Now.
864
:Um, the only thing I'll
say is whatever you eat.
865
:You don't want to have any processed
food in there that first, whole day,
866
:and even the spices and flavorings,
you want to keep to a minimum, like if
867
:you're having that for dinner that night,
if you're having like, I don't know,
868
:steak or chicken or something like that.
869
:Just put salt and pepper on there.
870
:Do not put a sauce or something like that.
871
:Like, don't get crazy.
872
:Keep the flavorings very minimal and,
um, you know, have like a vegetable or
873
:fruit and then, uh, maybe a carb, right?
874
:Like a sweet potato, but really just
keeping it super simple in terms of.
875
:Uh, the flavors.
876
:And then the following day after
that, you know what you can kind
877
:of just start getting back to your
normal eating schedule at that point.
878
:Hopefully you're still eating healthy
foods and things that are, you
879
:know, whole food based, uh, items.
880
:But if you are eating processed
foods, I mean, I don't recommend
881
:that ever honestly, but if
you do, I will just say this.
882
:You'll notice that your gut is
going to handle them a lot better.
883
:Uh, just because of that fast.
884
:So you'll just notice that even
if you did eat a processed food
885
:of, I don't know, whatever kind.
886
:Uh, you're just not going to
have like the stomach aches or
887
:bloating or pain or whatever,
like you normally probably would.
888
:That is at least what I've
experienced for myself.
889
:I have.
890
:On a fast back in the day.
891
:I ate a, a, a pretty processed food,
like the following day after a fast.
892
:And I just noticed that my
gut handled it so much better.
893
:I don't recommend it at all.
894
:Not a good idea.
895
:But, um, if you do, you will notice
that your gut handles it way better.
896
:So that is usually the food that I
would use to, uh, break the fast.
897
:And, uh, yeah, just reap the benefits
you guys are gonna feel so good.
898
:Um, like I was saying, you're,
you're gonna have this crazy
899
:appreciation for your food as well.
900
:That just naturally occurs
because you remember being
901
:without the food for so long.
902
:Uh, which personally, I just,
yeah, I think that's such a benefit
903
:for us to really find respect
for the food that we're eating.
904
:Um, because you know, we
live in a world where.
905
:We have access to pretty much
any food we want at any time.
906
:Like literally any time of
the day, which is insane.
907
:We've never had this in the, I don't know,
like a hundred years ago or whatever.
908
:Uh, so yeah, it's truly
a very interesting time.
909
:And, uh, I think it's important
for us to, you know, be a little
910
:bit more connected to the food that
we're putting in our mouth and have
911
:a little bit more respect for it.
912
:I think there's just so much benefit that
is going to occur from having a closer
913
:relationship with our food, you know,
less food waste, more care for the food.
914
:And, uh, also just putting yourself in a
state of gratitude when you're consuming
915
:food can be so beneficial for you as well.
916
:So, Anyways, y'all that?
917
:Is it.
918
:That is it for this episode.
919
:Um, I hope that you got a lot out of this.
920
:I'm going to just quickly, uh, give
a quick overview of this episode.
921
:Uh, just so you have a
very concise form of it.
922
:If you want to refer
to this in the future.
923
:Uh, if you're like, oh wait, hold on.
924
:How do I, you know, what do I
do for the fast and whatnot?
925
:I want to have this here for you.
926
:Like a cliff notes version.
927
:So first off I did a five day fast.
928
:It was a really cool, crazy experience.
929
:Found a lot of gratitude for food.
930
:And in terms of why I fast, I fast for
health and I fast for mental strength.
931
:Um, some of the health topics
are autophagy human horror.
932
:Uh, Human growth hormone.
933
:Uh, ketosis, insulin sensitivity,
uh, improved digestion liver health.
934
:You know, these are a few of the topics.
935
:Mental strength.
936
:It gives you control over your
hunger instead of allowing your
937
:hunger to have control over you.
938
:And honestly, it's just
a tough thing to do.
939
:So it's going to give you more
willpower in all areas of your life.
940
:And in terms of what a fast is, you
can fast from literally anything,
941
:food, porn, alcohol, whatever you want.
942
:But in terms of a food fast, remember.
943
:Any kind of calories are going to
technically break your fast, but I like
944
:to have some tea and coffee in there.
945
:Um, I feel that it's really
not going to harm your fast.
946
:It's still going to give you all the
benefits and at worst, it's going
947
:to slightly lower your autophagy
from the readings that I was seeing.
948
:So personally, I believe having
some food and coffee or sorry.
949
:Not food.
950
:No, no food copy or, or T.
951
:And then absolutely, of
course, the salt as well.
952
:Make sure you're staying hydrated too.
953
:So, uh, that is what constitutes a fast.
954
:And let's see in terms
of how to start fasting.
955
:Do it slow, like build your way up
and, um, it's all a mental game.
956
:So just really keep that in mind.
957
:Um, you know, as you're
going through it, like.
958
:Remember your body is okay, it's
gonna, it's gonna make it through,
959
:but you know, it's rather your mind
and the tricks that it plays on you.
960
:So it's really about conquering the
mind when you're doing a fast, um, but
961
:yeah, start slow, build your way up.
962
:And that's how you can build your
confidence in doing these longer fasts.
963
:And in terms for, uh, tools for fasting.
964
:Um, yeah.
965
:You know, start small activated
charcoal to make sure you're not
966
:getting the keto flu, uh, coffee
and tea, salt probiotics, maybe.
967
:Um, depends on which
probiotics you're taking.
968
:And then in terms of breaking the fast,
like I said, I loved doing the colostrum.
969
:The spirulina.
970
:Um, from energy bits, the claustrum
from armor era and the bone broth.
971
:So those are my favorite ways to break it.
972
:Um, you know, ease your way into foods.
973
:Don't go crazy.
974
:Uh, you know, even the following days
after you're going to want to really
975
:watch yourself, because since you were
doing this fast, you might've been
976
:like, oh, I can't wait to eat again.
977
:And so I really hope you'll just
go buck wild and eat all of these
978
:crazy foods that you were craving
while you were on the fast.
979
:You still want to be cautious
in the foods that you're eating.
980
:Uh, the few days after,
uh, coming out of a fast.
981
:So.
982
:That's going to do it for today's episode.
983
:I hope you all really
enjoyed this episode.
984
:Um, I loved doing this episode,
especially because the fast literally
985
:just ended for me like three days ago.
986
:And, um, I'm still on a, like
a high from the fast, so.
987
:Uh, yeah, I really enjoyed making this

988
:the research and stuff on fasting,
