How to Fast for Different Goals | Dr. J’s Fasting and Time Restricted Feeding Tips

I discovered him 9 weeks ago! No sugar or processed foods. No snacking fasting one day a week. I feel like I went through a time machine. People are asking me what I've been doing?? I'm a walking advertisement for his message. Thank you Doc. I've also been saving so much money from just buying whole foods.

How much I love you, respect you, pray for your good life, admire you... You will never know dear Doctor. You have changed my life. I swallowed your videos one by one and healed my chronic health issues, lost weight. Only love and prayers and good vibes for you. Plz take care of your health dear Doctor. You have gotta live long for the sake of the rest of humanity. Fix us , fix our heads. May God bless you with the best of your health and whatever your heart desires.

You have changed my life…You give me a lot motivation… I am from 122 kg down to 85 kg …

An MD in a white coat teaching preventative medicine is... very rare. Some consider it "bad for business". I'm deeply appreciative. Thank you.

Oh my goodness! I’ve never heard that your tongue loses fat and helps your sleep apnea. That’s great!

I’m from Puerto Rico, 36 years old, and not diabetic (according to my Doc). I woke up one Monday and checked my glucose after a horrible weekend full of drinking and eating with family and friends and I was horrified by the mg/dL reading. I went straight to a 3 day water fast that very day. By the 4th day I was feeling so weird (in a good way). I was feeling less irritated and anxious. I kept my normal pace at work and went for a walk during my lunch hour. On the fifth day my glucose was at 79mg/dL. This has NEVER happened to me in a morning reading of my glucose. My glucose had never been below 96mg/dL after waking up in the morning. Till this day, my some friends, my boss, and coworkers can’t believe that I went on a 5 day water fast while I kept working and performing the same and sometimes better. I felt a slight headache in the afternoon of the second day, but it didn’t last long. I put Dr. Jamnadas’ advice to the test. I found out that I won’t die if I give my body a break from food and just hydrate properly. I’m getting ready to do it again soon. This time I’ll incorporate going to the gym.

Imagine you are in Florida for a family vacation, and while at Disney World, you suffer a heart attack. When you wake up in the hospital, Dr. Jamnadas is standing over you, telling you that everything will be ok. 😊

I’m at hour 84! 🙌 I feel great!! SO ENERGIZED and full of life!! 🥰 ***UPDATE: I made it 5 whole days!! It was INCREDIBLE!!! I can’t wait to do another and push my mental to make it 7

I've been waiting YEARS for another fasting lecture from Dr. Pradip. I rewatch "Fasting For Survival" almost every time I do a 3 day fast.

Just ended my 48 hour fast and I’m feeling better than I have in an entire year. Because they never discovered , I started searching anti inflammatory foods because I was so miserable. I ate only those foods and dropped 5 pounds in one week. It was a relief. I had fasted before, but I didn’t have the real knowledge or pain to continue. Fasting works and I want to eat this way for the rest of my life. I am 55 and a serious medical history. I am working to lose 50 pounds and boost all the molecules of my body. Thank you for your support for us through your extensive knowledge. I am thankful and I am encouraged.

I've followed your advice and I'm a normal weight for the first time in my life. My lab work is amazing and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you Dr Jamnadas

I’m fasting 72 hours I’m on my 50th hour feeling great

Leucine can help tamp down hunger for OMAD. Eating low carb is very helpful for fasting easily and it's vital for refeeding otherwise your can can race when your insulin response to the food occurs. The many benefits of occasional extended fasting and lowering dietary carbs: Your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune cells in a 72h fast, rejuvenating your immune system. This helps with autoimmune disease, cancers and cytokine storm. Reduces B cells by over half in a single fast, greatly reducing allergic and other autoimmune responses. Fasting and low carb help with POTS, which is driven by high insulin and blood sugar. Clots and plaques are removed over time due to accelerated phagocytosis. Fibrosis aka scarring is reversed over time, including in the heart, lungs and clots. Clotting and fibrin are inhibited, stopping any 'unusual' clots. Fasting quickly lowers blood pressure levels. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of proteins, pathogens and plaques by macrophages and other immune bodies. This will remove spikes quicker, whether natural or unnatural in origin! Fasting restores NAD+, reduces NADH and increases nitric oxide release to open blood vessels. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, reducing inflammation and allowing the immune bodies to move freely through the body. T cells are cruciall in fighting cancer, autoimmune disease and infection. With age, the thymus generally stops making them but fasting releases stem cells, which then can become new T cells. It also releases growth hormone, which regenerates the thymus! When insulin is high, vit D stays locked in the blood cells but fasting quickly lowers it. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors and increases average telomere length in stem cell pools. Fasting does not reduce testosterone over time. Iraises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. And removes fat, which also increases estrogen in men. Fasting activates autophagy (literally self eating). This recycles damaged proteins and foreign matter such as viruses. Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The obese will lose loose skin while fasting, but the frail will have increased growth hormone release, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mtDNA. Mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention! 24h of fasting reduces leptin levels by half! This reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. Over time fasting normalizes stomach acid levels and during the fast acid levels go down to allow for the healing of ulcers. The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system, just like the effect of CBD oil Your brain prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when equally available to glucose. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns free fatty acids. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn glucose, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility for some women. Fasting increases telomere length, negating some effects of aging at a cellular level. Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood, creating new nerve and brain cell growth. This helps a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. Fasting stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. Glycine and trimethylglycine (TMG) can also be useful supplements while fasting that won't break ketosis and have many benefits. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD has about 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and zero net carbs. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast but most teas and herbs are OK. Supplements and meds usually break ketosis due to fillers or directly. Some of them also irritate the stomach. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. They also help with dementia and many other issues even if you take them while not fasting! Children, expecting or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors that excrete insulin or certain rare forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all or only with doctor supervision. T1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis and done under doctor supervision. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast with a low carb meal.

I've been watching for a number of years popular doctors like Annette Bosworth, Ken Berry, Ben Bikman, Steven Gundry, Eric Westman, Philip Ovadia, Mark Hyman, Jason Fung, Eric Berg, Robert Lustig, Sten Ekberg, Mindy Pelz and more ... however, Dr. Pradip Jamnadas is ANOTHER LEVEL! He is not only very experienced but also an amazing teacher and somehow manages to keep my attention from beginning to end, even though I've heard most of this stuff before, and many times.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, you gave hope last October when I listened to you about fasting. I'm 64 yr old male I weighted 320 plus , and was on no medicine, but wanted to lose weight and quit eating junk. I do a 24 hrs fast 5 days and 18 /6 on weekends, after the first 3 months of getting started to fasting. I have lost 120 lbs so far, and my wife tells me I no longer snore when I sleep, I have went from a pant size of 48 to a size 36, first time in my life that I ever remember wearing size 36. You explain things so well! IF I CANT KILL IT OR GROW IT MYSELF I DON'T EAT IT, AND IF JESUS DIDN'T HAVE IT TO DRINK I DONT DRINK IT, , I DON'T EVEN DRINK WINE, NO ALCOHOL.

Nearly three years ago, I began embracing the message of Dr. J. I am in my early 50's, and lost 45+ pounds, and have kept the weight off with no problem at all. I'm enjoying the same weight, and great health I did as a teenager. His message is profound and 100% accurate. All you have to do is look around ANYWHERE you go, and you know he's absolutely right! The success all begins with understanding the causes of metabolic syndrome, which Doctor J makes crystal clear!

I cleaned out my fridge I am 322 lb and I feel awful and know I have a leaky gut. I learned so much especially about searing foods and over cooking foods can cause inflammation. I’m going to drink a gallon a day and I hope that’s enough water. I’m strong I can do this!

Dr. Jamnadas is changing my life one day at a time…great, great doctor….and to answer someone’s question. I am not going to the gym but have opted for gentle floor exercises…Trip to Orlando was well, well worth it…Extraordinary doctor for extraordinary times…
