THIS IS MUCH EASIER Than Fasting With Amazing Results! - Doctor Reacts

I did 48h fasting every Friday-Sunday for 30 weeks + 16/8 every other day. It required some kind of stubborness and perseverance 😊 but the effects are stunning. Strict keto was the key to make it possible (15-20g of carbs a day). Now I do 72h of "sardines" fasting every 2 week and it's very easy with amazing anti-inflammatory effect. It's like having a new body and a new brain too. I wish I had this knowledge 20-30 years ago, I could save my parents, both died too early and in pain because of metabolic diseases.

My grandparents and great grandparents lived oner 105 yrs, never fasted ate beans everyday dark coffee, dairy, meat, eggs some fruits guava, tamarindo, mango, coconut, cactus avocado and only three veggies chayote, potato and carrots they never knew what a salad was or berries they passed without health problems and good memory and teeth. They said secret for long health was walking outdoor everyday and staying active

I’ve been on OMAD for 5 months, fast 1 to 3 days a week. Have lost 70 pounds.

Dr Westman cannot thank you enough for keeping it simple and translating for us who can think but can easily be overwhelmed if we listen to all the voices. Thank you as always! You brighten my day and take the burden off our shoulders by the teaching you offer that never ceases to gift us in our daily walk with our eating.

No one wants to do all those calculations!🙄 I think we should Eat Less! & Avoid Sugars.

This is just one of Dr Eckberg’s videos. He never suggests you should just eat the typical American diet the rest of the time. Many of his videos teach a daily low carb diet, specific foods and additives to avoid, as well as foods that you should include in your diet. He also teaches a lot about insulin sensitivity and fatty liver disease. In fact much of his focus is reversing metabolic diseases.

I love how you listen to your patients and check out their information learn from them and then teach us from your insights.

56 and have been in ketosis for over 2 years now, eating one meal a day intermittent fast between 18 to 24 hours every day. Lost well over 100 pounds of body weight. Was on prescription medications for over 25 years, and I got tired of all the side effects from meds. I slowly came off my meds within the first 3 months of starting keto.

I use the 8 hours of sleep ,+ not eating after 7 pm and not having my first meal before 9 am. That gives me 14 hours a day of fasting

Doesn’t it make more sense to do a real fast and spend zero dollars on no food ?

After watching this video with Dr.Ekberg and many other doctors, I am more and more a fan of Dr.Westman! I love the simplicity of what he shares for free! Nothing new here, like many others I have tried listening to many, many other doctors and so called experts or influencers and Dr.Westman is by far the best. I love the graciousness and lack of attitude! Dr.Westman’s approach KISS! Keep It Simple Sir (I’m being kind) I cannot agree more with Dr. Westman. No special food to purchase other than what is in the grocery store. THANK YOU DR.WESTMAN!!

Oh, hey, congratulations on cracking the 200K subscriber count! 🎉🥳

I have been eager to understand fasting and autophagy better. Thank you for this video Dr Westman

Thank you Dr Westman I love the way you explain things in these videos You were the beginning of my 3 year journey to better health and lifestyle You bring balance without obsession Pleas keep this up

I love Dr. Eckman. He was there in the beginning for me. This video of his Dr. Westman reviewed was certainly not anything i would ever be interested in doing but i do like to do a 3 day fast a couple times a year spring and fall. I feel wonderful when i do and look forward to it

I think all these doctors make awesome educational videos and it’s only natural they all have their own way of understanding of what they teach. At the end of the day, listen and learn and turn do what works for “your” body. I never had any interest in extended fasts but my only goal right now is fat loss. I’ve transitioned into a protein sparring modified fast three days a week and it broke my long plateau. I will continue to watch these keto/carnivore doctors and apply what works for me.

Dr Ekberg is great for figures on food and getting a plan together after helping breaking a cycle of soley counting calories! He really helped from the start educating on carbohydrate and sugar impact.

I eat a low carb dinner (usually around 15 carbs) once every 24-26 hours. No snacks. Been doing it for over 5 years. It works for me.

As always you have given a balanced and fair science-based review. Thank you,

I have watched a lot of Dr. Ekberg's videos. I think it is important to note that you cannot look at this fasting alternative in isolation. He certainly isn't saying to do this and then go back to a SAD diet the rest of the time. This is merely an alternative to a three day water fast for those who should not or cannot do traditional fasting. He does espouse a long-term lifestyle change in eating real food.
