I used to drink 16 cans of Coca-Cola a day and eat big boxes of Little Debbie snack cakes a day. When McDonald's had that crazy Monopoly game, I would play that thing every year from the first year that they started doing it. And I would go five times a week during the workweek, even more sometimes, just to get those pieces. I could never get Boardwalk and it was just you know… that was my normal way of eating.

Topics: 3:25– Coolest new shirts from Somnifix- “Nose Breather” Use coupon code “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off! Reasons you should check out Somnifix: Mouth breathing is highly inefficient. Besides leading to dry mouth, sore throat, and nasal congestion, it can cause snores, lowered blood oxygen saturation, and worsened immunity. These have serious consequences for health, fitness, and sleep. The simple solution to all of these issues is breathing through the nose. It’s easy to be cognizant of breathing during the day, but mouth breathing during sleep is widespread because we are paralyzed for certain parts of our sleep. This paralysis, called atonia, particularly affects the muscles around the mouth and neck. A great way to ensure proper breathing is by using SomniFix Mouth Strips. They are fully hypoallergenic–we’ve done extensive biocompatibility testing to ensure that users won’t experience allergic reactions or irritated skin. Our adhesive was specially-engineered for the lips. That means no pain or difficulty removing it, and no sticky residue left behind. It also releases just the force of opening the mouth (another safety feature). We included the mesh-covered breathing vent to ensure limited mouth breathing is possible if necessary. We conducted clinical trials with our device in partnership with researchers from Harvard Medical School, and we saw that our strips are effective in reducing ‘mouth’ snores and in improving breathing efficiency. All contents of our box (box, pouches, strips, branded liner) are recyclable. Remember, the nose is for breathing and the mouth is for eating 6:00– Paleo f(x) talk and general conference talk 11:25 – Intro to today’s guest, Jimmy Moore. 15:50 - Jimmy Moore’s Background 22:15– Competition in the Paleo and Keto world 30:30– How do you know who to trust when learning about health? 32:00- How Jimmy Moore found Keto 45:00- Switching from Atkins to Keto 48:12- Jimmy’s experiment with high protein diet 56:30- What do you do if you are hungry on Keto? 1:00- Do calories matter in Ketosis? 1:05- How many veggies Jimmy eats on Keto 1:06:40- Jimmy’s opinion on Keto sweeteners 1:11- Differences between men and women on Keto 1:14- Developing intolerances on Keto 1:16- Go get Jimmy’s books starting with Keto Clarity, Complete Guide to Fasting, The Keto Cure, & upcoming Real Food Keto 1:18:40- Jimmy’s thoughts on the Keto-terian Find Jimmy at http://www.livinlavidalowcarb.com/ Check out his podcast's Living La Vida Low Carb, Fasting Talk with Jimmy Moore, Keto Talk with Jimmy & The Doc, and Ask the Low Carb Experts.

Dear Jimmy and Doc Nally, Thank you for doing what you do. My life has changed thanks to this podcast. I have a quick question you guys: I recently got my Pathway Genomics results and the report said that my genes would benefit from a LOW FAT, higher carb diet. I have been keto for a year and I was shocked to see this. The report suggested my fats should be comprised of 20-25% of my diet, protein 20-25% and carbs 50-55%! I shuddered when I read this. It also said my body can process monounsaturated fats better than animal fats. What gives? Do my genes just not lend themselves to a keto diet? All the best, Esma KEY QUOTE: “If your low-carb ketogenic diet is working, why would you cheat and put your body through that?”  – Jimmy Moore STUDY: Submitted by Dr. Dallas Peak, MD who was taken in by the use of the phrase “benign dietary ketosis” (BDK) to describe nutritional ketosis 1. Why did my symptoms of Raynaud’s syndrome seem to get worse when I started eating keto? Hey Jimmy and The Doc, I went gluten free years ago and Paleo was the next natural step. I have had autoimmune issues my whole life and my doctors couldn’t figure it out. One of them once told me, "we usually only see these symptoms in overweight people", but overweight I am not. When first going Paleo, I made a drastic mistake without knowing it. The Paleo crowd was all about the bananas and potatoes back then so that's what I did. Even though I am not big fans of either of these they were the least offensive carbs and it seemed to help. A few months ago I decided to go with a ketogenic approach doing it the correct way this time. I still have fruit in the house for my kids but I have not touched it. I never had the low-carb flu and within a week was sleeping like a rock for the first time in years despite living the stressful life of being a single mom. Joint pain did not flare up as much and my migraines are not showing up as often. My question for you guys is this: I have always been plagued with Raynaud's syndrome. It lasts all year long, not just in the winter. I have noticed that since I do not feel hungry on a regular basis it is easy to go many hours without food while out running errands without noticing how long it has been. My Raynaud’s then rears it's ugly head and I feel it. I'm not sure if it's going too long on an empty stomach or something else happening, but the Raynaud's is the only thing that has gotten worse since I started eating keto. Do you know why this is happening? I am already taking a magnesium supplement to help. Even if you guys have no solution for me, I will just suck it up buttercup and deal with it as I have in the past because the benefits I am getting from nutritional ketosis far outweigh the cold hands and feet that I have always had to deal with anyway. Listening to Keto Talk, it is very clear to me that you guys have a goal of helping people and getting correct information out there. I am so glad I found your podcast. Thank you both for your time and effort and keep up the great work. Sarah 2. Why did I start experiencing very sore spots on my skin when I decided to cheat on my low-carb, ketogenic diet? Hey Jimmy and The Doc, I recently found your podcast and have greatly enjoyed getting caught up on all the episodes! I have a question that might actually be a new one for you as I haven’t heard it discussed on your show before. I have been eating low-carb, ketogenic with weekly cheat days as Tim Ferriss outlines in his book The Four-Hour Body. After about six months of doing this, I noticed I would wake up with very sore spots on my skin following a cheat day. It seemed to be concentrated on my torso and sometimes on my upper arms, neck, and scalp. This soreness was on the surface of the skin, not the muscles or joints. The best way I can describe it is it felt like a giant bruise that was only painful when you pressed on it. My skin would be so sensitive that I would skip running or other exercise that day because the mere bouncing of my skin was too uncomfortable to bear. The surface area of skin that would be sore seemed to correlate positively with how much crappy carbage I splurged on the previous day. Interestingly, the first areas to become sore were the areas in which I tend to store fat, such as the love handles, and the soreness would radiate out from there. If I had a really obscene cheat day, then even my upper leg skin would get sore. Very surprisingly, this phenomenon did not go away when I went back to the high-carb Standard American Diet for a period of time. It seemed anytime I indulged in something particularly sugary/carby, my skin got sore. This soreness would only subside after a day of eating low-carb keto again. So my questions for you guys is this: What could be causing this? Is it just a rapid-onset generalized edema resulting from a significant increase in carbs? Why did it not begin occurring until a good 6+ months into eating low-carb and why did it persist after I went back on a high-carb diet? Have I permanently altered how my body reacts to carbs by going low-carb for so long? Finally, should I be concerned about this? While trying to find answers to these questions online, I saw this “sore skin” phenomenon mentioned by a couple of people on low-carb diet forums who claimed they never experienced this before going low-carb. But none of these references included any explanations other than "possible edema". Thanks so much for your help and your wonderful podcast! CD JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 3. Can Adderall be having an adverse effect on getting into ketosis? And does keto do anything to help improve adult ADHD? Dear Keto Talk hosts, I am a 62-year old female and have been moving to keto through the usual progression—it started 20 years ago trying to eat local and real food, then on to WAPF, then Paleo, and now low-carb, ketogenic consuming 20-40g carbohydrates daily. Most of my carbs come from salad, kefir, cheese, and kombucha. My blood sugars have been coming down but I am still in the high 90s for fasting blood sugar in the morning. I have only seen .5 once on the blood ketone meter. I am trying to figure out what might be preventing ketosis for me and I have a couple of suspects. Because I have some of the MTHFR family of variations, my doctor has me on 1000 mcg of L-methylfolate and adenosyl/hydroxy B12. I am also taking 10 mg daily of Adderall. Would any of these be having an adverse effect on getting into ketosis? And does ketosis have any positive effect on improving adult ADHD? I’d really love to get off of that medication if at all possible. Thanks for any insights you can provide. Stephanie KETO TALK MAILBOX - Why can’t I stay in ketosis eating what seems to be a well-formulated low-carb, moderate protein, high-fat, ketogenic diet? Hey Jimmy and The Doc, I listen to your Keto Talk podcast all the time and I have been doing keto for nearly 2 months. I am 6'7" and weigh 220 pounds with 16% body fat. I started keto for all the health benefits, energy, and disease prevention it provides. I eat about 100g protein, less than 20g carbs, and 200g of fat. This all seems right to me and I am being very strict with it. I get lots of sleep, am not stressed, and have experimented with exercising a little and not doing any exercise. There’s only one problem: I JUST CANT STAY IN KETOSIS! I bought a blood ketone monitor and the highest reading I have seen is 1.2 for a very short 2-day period and most of the time I am less than 0.5. Every morning I wake up I am 0.2 and then it’ll rise to 0.6 mid day and once in awhile I'll get to 0.8 in the evening or sometimes it goes the other way and I'll drop back down to 0.3.

JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS KEY QUOTE: “People that have been fasting and are farther along in their journey tend to opt for better quality food choices like eggs that are truly free-range.” – Megan Ramos   Here’s what Jimmy and Dr. Fung talked about in Episode 23: Some special iTunes comments that Jimmy and Megan address at the top of the show TESTIMONIAL:   Jimmy,   I’ve always had troubles with my triglycerides since I gained weight after college. When I had them tested in December, they came back at 4543 mg/dL. These results were so shockingly high that they had to do the tests twice to verify the number! In January I started researching options for lowering my triglycerides and came across intermittent fasting. I eased into it over a two-week period to get acclimated from the sugar withdrawal, along with cutting out all of the bad white foods in my diet. While I was going through this, I came The Compete Guide to Fasting audiobook. After listening, I felt confident that I was on the right track because for once the science actually made sense. So I started adding 36-hour fasts on the weekend and had my triglycerides tested again. The results came back at 748 mg/dL. I’ve also experienced a weight loss of 15 pounds. So, I just wanted to say thanks.  I’m currently listening to Keto Clarity and considering adding a ketogenic diet to my fasting.   Robert WORLD’S 1ST REUSABLE BREATH KETONE ANALYZER NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship     1. What are the specific dangers and concerns of doing a fast without medical supervision? Hey guys, Can you go over the dangers of doing a 7-day distilled water-only fast without any medical supervision? I am on a very tight budget and can’t really afford to go see the doctor to monitor me. When I asked my personal doctor about fasting, he said that I should monitor my urine pH levels and that if they get too acidic to stop the fast. But he didn’t say what level that is. Would you concur with this? I know you can’t endorse doing a fast without medical supervision, but for folks who are going to do it anyway, is there any advice that you can give? Thanks for your help, Margaret KEY QUOTE: “You can test for your level of inflamation, and if it's elevated then both fasting and a ketogenic diet are great anti-inflamatory methodoligies.” – Jimmy Moore   2. Is it possible to heal a food reactivity/allergy like eggs and dairy with a water-only fast? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I really really really want to permanently heal my reactivity to eggs where I experience itchy eyes, nose, lips, along with a runny nose. And I’ve done every friggin’ thing under the sun food-wise: supplements, keto, autoimmune protocol, Paleo, and fasting. At some point, my reaction to eggs inevitably returns and I need to give them up for a while. Have you seen people who have fasted permanently find success healing their reactivity to eggs and dairy? Success in my world means no symptoms or inflammation-related weight gain. I haven’t attempted a water-only fast yet and this is the next thing I would like to try. I realize this is probably going to be a long-term project and not something I’m going to knock out in two weeks. Thank you all for the encouragement and realism: progress, not perfection is my motto now.

Is it normal to experience stomach pain that disrupts sleep when fasting for more than 24 hours? Hey guys, I love listening to Fasting Talk and reading your book. I’ve been IF for a year now. Started with 16/8 and then have been doing 18/6 for a long time. I’ve done a few 24 hour fasts, a 48 hour fast, and most recently a 42 hour fast for the purposes of fat loss. My question for you guys is this: Is it common to get stomach pain when fasting for more than 24 hours? It's not hunger pangs, but feels like gastritis pain. In fact, the pain wakes me up at night it’s so bad. I don’t feel this pain when I’m eating and I only find relief from it while fasting when I drink spiced tea. Have you had any IDM patients deal with anything like this? Thank you, Monika 4. Does combining a ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting cause a delay in the menstrual cycle or even missing a period? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I have been doing IF and keto for about a month and half and I love the combination because it allows me to enjoy real food when I eat and gives me excellent mental clarity. My purpose in IF and keto is to prevent Type 2 diabetes since my A1c has been 5.8 the past couple of years. I’m already seeing my blood sugar and A1c drop, so I’m very happy with my nutritional choices. However, I do have a concern that I’ve noticed. Before my IF and keto protocol, my periods usually come every 38 days. But since I changed my diet and added fasting, it has been 46 days since my last menstrual cycle and I still have no period. Does the combination of IF and keto cause a delay in the menstrual cycle or even missing a cycle? Keto Talk and Fasting Talk are my favorite podcasts and they’ve helped me so much.

Is there a degree or certification for ketogenic diets and fasting that you can recommend to guide clients nutritionally? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I'm a personal trainer and want to go to school to become a registered dietician. But since my desire is to promote the ketogenic diet, I’m concerned seeing so many RDs facing backlash and possibly losing their license for going "off-script.” As a personal trainer, we are supposed to educate our clients on how to eat, but all they promote is the government-recommended low-fat diet. I also want to promote fasting to my clients, but I’m not sure whether there is a degree or certification I could obtain to properly guide my clients.

Why did I turn yellow and feel unwell at the end of a 7-day fast? Dear Jimmy and Megan, I recently completed my first 7-day fast and I felt GREAT with tons of energy. I would have continued, but I literally turned yellow and looked desiccated, haggard and unwell. I’ve completed a number of 4-5 day fasts in the past with much less of a problem than anything like this. Have you run across this in the IDM clinic and should I push through and hope it will this improve with time? I don’t have diabetes or any other underlying medical problems. Thanks! Elizabeth 2. Does fasting raise blood pressure levels? Hi guys, For the last month, I have been doing the 5:2 version of fasting as a warm-up for some of the protocols you set out in your fasting book. I’m 46, not diabetic but I am overweight with a BMI of 28, and I’m hoping fasting will prevent the development of Type 2 diabetes, lead to weight loss, and re-calibrate my eating habits. So far I’ve lost 4 pounds, my clothes are looser, and I no longer feel polluted inside. Fasting days are not always easy, especially in this cold northern England climate, but I still look forward to them! I have recently started having significantly higher blood pressure readings than usual (138/75 upon waking). I’m not completely sure why this is happening, but I did recently complete a course of prednisone for asthma and a chest infection. I also have a busy job with two lively young children. Enough said, right? But I have heard from people on a 5:2 fasting forum that fasting itself may have caused my elevated blood pressure. Is it true that fasting leads to an increase in blood pressure levels? Thank you for the book and the podcast. I’ve learned so much from both and use them to inspire me when fasting gets hard.

Is there a difference between drinking distilled water and filtered water when you are on a water fast?

ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS KEY QUOTE: “My blood pressure went down significantly while fasting, so did blood sugar, insulin and all of the markers you would expect.” – Jimmy Moore 4. Should I be concerned about my appetite dropping on feasting days to match my fasting days during an intermittent fast? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I love listening to Fasting Talk and I have a question for you guys. I’ve just started alternate day fasting and I’m fasting on 500 calories (M, W and F) and then eating normally the other 4 days. It’s going pretty well for me so far, but I’m finding that on the “normal eating” days my appetite has reduced a fair bit and I’m not wanting to eat the same amount as I did prior to beginning alternate day fasting. My concern is if I reduce the amount of food I eat to fit with my lowering appetite levels that it will begin to creep downward to where it is on my non-fasting days. Am I at risk for slowing down my metabolism doing this? As someone who has spent most of her life as a yo-yo dieter, I’m really worried about rebound weight gain from doing this. Can you offer any tips on what I can do to prevent this from happening? I am loving alternate day fasting and really getting into the groove with it. Help me optimize the results I’ll get from it. Thanks for this great podcast…it’s at the top of my listening list! Leanne in New Zealand WORLD’S 1ST REUSABLE BREATH KETONE ANALYZER NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship 5. Do the watery stools/diarrhea that can happen during and after a fast be an indication of and come from gut bacteria dying off? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I am one of those people who ends up with watery stools during and after I break a fast. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about why. I know Jimmy mentioned that he was also puzzled as to what is coming out when nothing is going in during an extended fast. Is it possible that some of the bowel bacteria (which I understand make up a good deal of stool) are dying from not being fed? And since they are dead, they are eliminated from the body while extended fasting? It certainly smells like something died in there. I also wonder whether some of the health improvements of fasting occur because of the elimination of carb-loving bacteria and replacing them with the ones that survive better while fasting. I imagine those are the bacteria that would have thrived inside our ancient ancestors who regularly fasted. Is there any merit to my theory? Thanks for the new podcast, I never miss it!

Can I fast if I am still nursing and would an intermittent fast be better than extended fasting for the milk?   Hi guys!    I’m excited to see this podcast because I have had so many questions about fasting. Currently I am nursing and most likely will be for another year. Can I still fast? I’m wondering about how fasting affects the milk with all the detoxing that takes place? Would an intermittent fast be better than longer fasts while I’m nursing?

Can I fast for a couple of days prior to running a marathon to more efficiently burn fat for fuel during the race?   Hey Jimmy and Megan,   Thanks for doing Fasting Talk. It’s been a useful, professional, and inspirational guide in building my fasting knowledge. I made my first fasting attempt this week and made it 48 hours with my typical intense workouts (hard running on one day and swimming the next day) just to see what would happen. To my surprise, I had lots of energy to power through my workouts. So my question for you guys is this: Is it a good idea to fast for two days prior to running a marathon? My goal is to efficiently burn fat for fuel during the race, so will this strategy help me?   Thanks for take the time to answer my question.   Adriana JIMMY AND DR.

Does pain symptom improvement while extended fasting mean the damaged cells are removed or is it simply the inflammation going down?   Hey guys,   I have been suffering with awful post nasal drip for over a year along with a sore Achilles heel and I thought my running career was over (I’m a long distance runner and keto athlete). I began fasting in January consuming water, tea, and bone broth. By the 36-hour, my post nasal drip had vanished and some tooth pain I was having had disappeared as well. By Day 5, my Achilles pain was 50% more tolerable. I felt so good on Day 7 that I continued my fast. I’m currently on Day 9 and ran 10 miles yesterday. I noticed my Achilles pain was minimal during that run and the morning stiffness I had been experiencing has vanished. Finally, my nagging tennis elbow in my right arm is now pain-free. Does this mean that the fast has perhaps eaten all the damaged cells that were causing all these symptoms? Or is it more likely that my inflammation is down significantly as a result of the fasting to allow healing?   Fasting ROCKS and thanks SO much for your work sharing about it! I’m so excited about this podcast and The Complete Guide To Fasting. THANK YOU!   Theresa    5. Does black coffee activate enzymes in the liver that prevent someone who drinks it during a fast to experience the full benefits?   Hey guys,   Love this podcast! Thank you for all you are doing for people all over the world! Keep up the great work. I was curious, I heard one of your fellow podcasters Dr. Rhonda Patrick (Find My Fitness podcast) state that even black coffee activates some enzymes in the liver. She noted that this means technically a fast that allows for black coffee is not a true fast. Personally, I feel I get the benefits of my 24 and 36 hour fasts even with my black coffee. My question for you is this: In light of this information from Dr. Patrick, can we still experience autophagy and other fasting benefits while drinking coffee? Or do we only get these benefits from a water-only fast?    Thank you!   Kyle RESERVE YOUR TICKETS AT KETOFEST.COM NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship iTunes review: LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 20 – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Get the new lemon-lime flavored Jigsaw Electrolyte Supreme supplement (Get $10 off your order with coupon code “LLVLC”) – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: The world’s freshest and most flavorful artisanal olive oils. Get your $39 bottle for just $1. – JIMMY AND DR.

ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS HOT TOPIC: How much to eat on feasting days to distinguish from fasting days? 1. Why do I have a tight feeling in my throat while I’m extended fasting? Is it my thyroid detoxing or something else? Hello Jimmy and Megan! I’m now 4 1/2 days into my first ever 7-day water fast. Thanks to The Complete Guide to Fasting, I was well-prepared and I managed the first two days just fine and the hunger pangs are all but gone now. I’m sleeping soundly, and my daily energy levels are sufficient enough to handle my normal activities, but I don’t feel like there’s enough gas in the tank for my normal exercise routines. I do have a few worrisome symptom that I wanted to ask you about. I’ve noticed a tight feeling in my throat starting in the morning of Day 3. It’s located around the hollow of my neck just at and above the level of my collar bone. It’s actually something I used to feel all the time, before I adopted a cleaner way of eating over a year ago and that sensation has been gone for several months. But now it’s back with a vengeance since I commenced extended fasting. It seems to be where I think my thyroid is, so of course I’m wondering if my thyroid is suffering or just detoxing and getting healthy and strong again. Any ideas about what might be going on? Bless you for resurrecting the important tool of fasting! I had all but given up on shedding these extra 10 pounds that suddenly appeared a couple years ago. I’m thrilled about reforming my eating habits, improving my blood sugar, and EASILY eliminating wheat and artificial sweeteners, and of course the weight loss.

Would limiting my fasting to non-training days be best for someone like me doing Brazilian jiu jitsu? Hey Jimmy and Megan, About two years ago I was living a sedentary lifestyle and weighed 275 pounds at 5'9". Now I'm down to 190 pounds after a lot of hard work and not drastically changing my eating habits other than cutting out sodas, cakes, and other sugary snacks. I'm what you might call a "fatthlete" (fat athlete). I train Brazilian jiu jitsu five days a week and I'm a little worried about fasting because from what I understand about it vigorous physical activity can cause problems for people. What are your thoughts on circadian fasting or fasting only on days I don't train? Would those be better fasting options for me? Thank you in advance for your advice, James 4. Is it okay to engage in a fast post-surgery? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Hi guys, I’m so glad I found Fasting Talk. I already listened to Keto Talk and this new podcast makes my life complete. What I want to know about is if there are any guidelines for fasting after surgery. Is there a time period when it’s not advisable to fast post-op? Or does it depend of the surgery? I had my appendix out just before Christmas and while I felt fine doing a 40-hour fast in the week afterwards, my husband got rather anxious about me doing this. I have been doing a 20-4 intermittent fast most days for the last year with occasional longer fasts. But I haven’t found any information about fasting post-surgery anywhere.

Hi guys, I’m curious to know if you would ever recommend fasting on green vegetable juice and coconut water? Also, I’ve heard about a lot of people having success doing the Master cleanse which uses lemons and maple syrup? I know the latter has a lot of sugar but maybe this works best for people who are more insulin sensitive. Any thoughts on this?

I love and appreciate Dr. Fung's ability to relate info in a way that anyone can understand. And, of course, I have listened to you, Jimmy, for a long time. I am loving Megan Ramos and look forward to hearing more from her on upcoming episodes. My question for you guys is this: I practice alternate day fasting and I take my blood sugar reading the morning after a fasting day. Much to my surprise, my last reading jumped 25 points! I have read that sometimes this happens when hormones such as cortisol, glucagon, and epinephrine are released causing the liver to release glucose. Incidentally, I did eat a small meal of 3 ounces of ham and 8 ounces green beans about 3-4 before bed, so possibly that is the culprit in my higher reading. Dr. Joe Marcela was the one who recommended eating a meal consisting of 500 calories or less with 20-30g protein and 8 ounces of green vegetable to enhance my fasting so I thought I’d give it a try.

I'm pretty familiar with keto, but I’m absolutely clueless about fasting. I have a question for you guys to address today about fasting. Several things seem to spike up during the first few days of fasting before going down again. Doesn't this mean that doing a two-day fast means you are only getting the worst part of the fasting experience? Don’t people who do this short of a fast deny themselves of seeing the ultimate benefits of seeing these things coming back down again and feeling good on the other side?

Why did I experience hypoglycemia in Day 2 of an extended fast? What can I do to prevent this from happening again? Hi guys, I've read The Complete Guide to Fasting and have been loving the Fasting Talk podcast. As a science teacher, I really appreciate how you present the information. I initiated what I wanted to be a four-day fast and maybe longer recently. I made it to the 32-hour mark before experiencing signs of hypoglycemia. I was shaky, dizzy, faint, and very weak despite my heart rate at around 100 bpm. When I checked my blood sugar, it was down to 33. Because I didn’t feel safe to drive at the moment, I decided to drink 8 ounces of pomegranate juice since that was the only thing I could find to bring my blood sugar back up. I assume it improved because the symptoms decreased a bit and I made it to work safely. I'm generally healthy except for elevated cholesterol and a bit of excess weight and I'm hoping these things will be fixed by fasting and keto. Any thoughts on what happened here and should I be concerned? If I try to do an extended fast again, do you have any tips to prevent this the next time? Thanks for your help! Heather JIMMY AND DR.

Julian GIVE YOUR ELECTROLYTES A SUGAR-FREE BOOST USE COUPON CODE “LLVLC” FOR $10 OFF NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship TESTIMONY: Hey Megan, I just wanted to tell you how your advice to switch it up is working for me. I'm on my second time through a 6 day cycle of 3 days fasting followed by 3 days feasting. Before I started, I was eating keto to satiety and slowly gaining weight. I was eating a lot at night, eating lots of macadamias, and drinking wine. So, I was primed for a change. My first day of a 3-day fast started with keto coffee (lots of coconut oil and a pinch of cayenne). Midday I had a mug of bone broth with a Tbsp of butter melted in it. At night I went right for salt-water with a dash of Chipotle chili pepper powder. I use Morton lite-salt so I can get some Potassium. On the second and third days of the fast I only drank black coffee and my hot salt-water concoction. At the end of the 3-day fast my fingers were getting cold but I had lost 7 pounds. I broke the fast with a handful of nuts and then a big meal after about 30 minutes. I feasted for 3 days eating 2 meals a day within a 6-hour window for an 18-hour intermittent fast. I know I overate a couple times with plenty of butter and macadamia nuts for lots of fat—lots. I was poaching burgers in butter, eating rib eye steaks, fried fish with keto breading, and an entire jar of tartar sauce. Still, I didn't gain an ounce in the 3 days that I feasted. Yesterday was my first day back to fasting. I started the day with keto coffee again, and my salt-water concoction with 1 tbsp of butter, and a couple more of those without the butter later in the day. This morning I had lost another 3 pounds. So, that's 10 pounds in 7 days—the most weight I've ever lost in a week. Ever. Also, last night my blood sugar was the lowest I've ever recorded it at 66. The first day of fasting is challenging, even the second time around. Last night I was dreaming of fast food. But, I got over it, and it was smooth sailing again here on Day 2. This pattern seems to really be working for me and I plan to continue on this path until it stops working. Thanks for the great advice. You guys are awesome.

Does eating a small amount of food in the middle of an extended fast impact my insulin levels and fasting efforts? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I love The Complete Guide to Fasting and have learned so much from it and your Fasting Talk podcast. I have a question for you guys. I started my fast on Thursday at 7:30pm and went until 11:30pm Saturday temporarily breaking the fast with 1 Tbs of natural peanut butter and a few bites of brussels sprouts. Then I decided to fast all day Sunday throughTuesday at 7:30 PM. All in all, it was a total of five days with that little bit of food. What if anything did that food break do to my insulin levels and fasting efforts? I have three small children and can’t check my insulin levels, so any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated. All the best, Brieanne 2. Can someone with bulimia or binge eating disorder engage in fasting? Would this be beneficial or detrimental towards their efforts of overcoming it? Dear Jimmy and Megan, I have read your book on fasting and it was so full of great knowledge that I am grateful for. I am currently breastfeeding, so I am not fasting right now. But I am looking forward to start fasting soon. In your book I took notice of how people with eating disorders, specifically anorexia, shouldn't be fasting and this makes a lot sense. But what about people who have bulimia and binge eating disorder? Should they also steer clear of fasting? Are there any physical or hormonal benefits to be gained for someone like this to start fasting or will this simply perpetuate the binging behavior. Thanks for this podcast and for your amazing work! Teresa JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 3. Is Diurnal Fasting with no food or beverages during daylight hours a viable option for fasting? Can you guys talk about the health effects of what is known as Diurnal Fasting where you engage in complete abstinence from food and beverages during daylight hours? Is this a good way to fast and are there any potential downfalls to doing it this way as compared to what you teach in the IDM clinic? Thank you, Catherine 4. How will I know when I am fat-adapted enough to push my fasting periods beyond intermittent fasting? I have been doing some form of LCHF/keto since August 2016 and have lost 30 pounds. I've been following the mantra to only eat when I’m hungry which is how I started unintentionally intermittent fasting. Most days I end up doing 18:6 but just can't get past 20 hours. I hear people say to get fully fat-adapted before trying longer fasting, so how will I know when I am there?

WORLD’S 1ST REUSABLE BREATH KETONE ANALYZER NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship Here’s what Jimmy, Megan, and Angel talked about in Episode 12: - How can I maintain the lower blood pressure numbers from extended fasting when the fast is over?   Hi Jimmy and Megan,   Fasting topics almost always focus on obesity and diabetes.  I'd like to hear you guys discuss how you can lower blood pressure with extended fasting. I've done four extended supervised water fasts and each time I've been able to get great blood pressure numbers without the need for medication. Unfortunately, over time, my high blood pressure comes back probably because I haven't cleaned up my diet. I would love to hear more about how to keep the numbers down.   Thanks,   Erik   Fasting could prevent aging and transform your body, but it goes against everything we think of as healthy GIVE YOUR ELECTROLYTES A SUGAR-FREE BOOST USE COUPON CODE “LLVLC” FOR $10 OFF NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   HOT TOPIC:  Extended Fasting Is Dangerous For Your Health   1. How can I do longer fasts when i have to cook for my family of five on a nightly basis?   Hi Jimmy and Megan,   I love this new podcast! The longest I have ever gone during a fast is 24 hours, but I would like to go longer in fasting. I have PCOS, insulin resistance, and fibromyalgia. My problem is I have a family of 5 and I cook for them most evenings and this can trigger me to want to eat.  As you can probably guess, my family eats a clean version of the SAD diet and I am the only one who eats keto in the house.  How do I make a longer fast work in this context?  Would meal prepping ahead of time help in these situations? I would like to fast for 36 hours and then try to do longer fasts.   Thank you for your insights,   Georgette   2. Can fasting help with the exhaustion phase of adrenal fatigue? Is IF or extended fasting better for dealing with this?   Can you please explain how fasting can help with adrenal fatigue?  keep reading conflicting information on this subject and I am unsure whether fasting is right for me. I am currently in the "exhaustion" phase of adrenal fatigue, so my question for you is whether I need to get the adrenal fatigue under control first before fasting or will fasting help me with this condition? And what kind of fast would you recommend?

Would drinking aloe vera juice on a fasting day break my fast?   Hello Jimmy and Megan,   Thank you so much for creating Fasting Talk. I have read your book The Complete Guide to Fasting and started alternate day fasting. So far, I’ve seen some great benefits doing this, including feeling fantastic, a sharp mind and focus while working, and weight loss. I have one question for you about fasting days—can I drink my aloe vera juice in the morning while fasting? Would this break the fasting period?   Thanks for your help,   Kishore   4. Is it okay to still chew nicotine gum while fasting?   Hi Jimmy and Megan,   I got your fasting book and have been doing a 16:8 fast on a regular basis. This might be a strange question, but can I chew nicotine gum when I am fasting?   Much regards,   David   5. How do you prevent the loss of electrolytes and minerals when you are extended fasting?   Hi Jimmy,   I keep hearing you talking about fasting, fasting, fasting all the time. But if you fast with zero food for 7 days, for example, how do you not lose electrolytes and minerals? Don’t you need to drink more than just water to keep from becoming sick? I am a little confused about all this.   Thanks for your help,   Victoria JIMMY AND DR.

GIVE YOUR ELECTROLYTES A SUGAR-FREE BOOST USE COUPON CODE “LLVLC” FOR $10 OFF NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   SPECIAL GUEST PATIENT: Angel Ramos (aka Mr. Megan Ramos!) I grew up in Orlando and ate a typical diet throughout the first 25 years of my life. I did cut out soda/pop in my teens and noticed that I lost some weight without any change to my physical activity but I was still overweight with a poor body composition. I stayed up late, ate crap junk food and drank in university and grad school. My weight peaked while on holiday in Germany as a graduation trip, 235 pounds at 6'2". I noticed new stretch marks, a marked drop in my energy levels and my clothes were tight! I was starting to get concerned about my future health and what could happen given my family medical history of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, and Alzheimer's. I'm a scientist and I enjoy researching, so I went to work. With the limited nutritional knowledge I had and novice workout experience, I started reading various sources online. There are some great fitness subreddits that really helped me to understand what I needed to do. I started tracking my calories, lowered my fat intake, upped the protein and began a weight training and cardio regiment. After about 9 months of exercise and diet, my weight was about 220 pounds and I was significantly stronger in the gym, but I still had plenty of fat. This is where my story changes, I met Megan Christie (Ramos). After we had been dating for a few months, treating every trip to see each other as a vacation and eating junk, Megan explained the IDM program to me in detail and I was blown away. I began to see that by eating tons of processed/refined carbohydrates, I was only hurting myself. I also began fasting when I started eating an LCHF diet. Our cavemen ancestors certainly didn't get lucky and have a feast every day, so why do I need 3 square meals a day. I started out doing 24-hour fasts from dinner to dinner and was quickly surprised that it was much easier than I thought. After about a week, my body wasn't angry at me if at 1 pm I haven't eaten anything. I began to see weight fall off over the course of a few months. I had to buy almost an entirely new wardrobe because none of my clothes fit. I'm proud to say that I've lost 70 pounds and now weigh about 165 pounds.

Can anyone doing an intermittent or alternate day fast enjoy a glass or two of wine? Hello Jimmy and Megan, I watched Dr. Jason Fung's fantastic presentation to colleagues on YouTube where he shared about a patient who managed to still enjoy a couple glasses of wine while fasting and had amazing success. I love the idea of flexibility while fasting, but at what point does a patient impede or derail their success with something like a glass or two of wine? Was he the exception or is wine with dinner allowed to be incorporated into a successful intermittent fasting or alternate daily fasting program if you track the carbs in them? Thank you for this show, I am really enjoying it! Maryann KEY QUOTE: “Take a little bit of fat for the first few days of a fast. The extra fat takes extra energy to burn and warms you up.” – Megan Ramos 2. How do I deal with cold extremities that come when I start extended fasting? Hey guys, I’m a 68-year old woman who has had a total hysterectomy, had my gallbladder removed in my early twenties, and am hypothyroid taking Synthroid. I do quite well fasting from 4-6 days. My question is what happens to me beginning on the first day of an extended fast—my hands and feet become extremely cold. It can't be from a lack of salt because this starts to happen right away in Day 1 of fasting. I tried consuming some homemade bone broth with salt, but it hasn’t helped. Any help would be appreciated, Ruth 3. Is there any reason not to fast if you are attempting to get pregnant? Hey guys! Love The Complete Guide To Fasting and the Fasting Talk podcast. I've been doing 24-hour fasts, four days a week for weight loss. I've lost 10 pounds and have about 10 more to go. My boyfriend and I are trying to get pregnant and I was wondering if engaging in fasting while trying to get pregnant is safe. Thanks for your insights! Amanda JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS   4. How do you control the increase in cortisol that comes from fasting from being a detriment to weight loss? Hi guys, How do you make sure your fasting routine isn’t being a stress on your body so that you do not have an increase in cortisol which would shut down weight loss? Thanks, Mary KEY QUOTE: "If you want to know how something is going to impact you, test it!

I run-bike-swim several miles a week. I plan on fasting on Mondays and Thursdays (for 36 hours) and wonder if I will have the energy I need to get through the workouts? Alan AND Love your new podcast. My question is about fasting and exercise. I currently practice intermittent fasting but wanted to try an extended fast. I lift weights four days a week and cycle around 80 miles as well. I wanted to know what effect fasting would have on my performance and weight loss/muscle gain?

I tried doing a 24-hour fast on my own and came to the realization I needed support. I’m back to doing 16:8 IF every day, but definitely needed help with doing longer fasts. When I am eating, it’s ketogenic. I can’t begin to tell you how excited, thrilled, and optimistic I feel about working with IDM. Just knowing there is a solution to my weight problem makes me feel like I have finally found my Holy Grail because NOTHING has worked for me. Even eating low-carb, high-fat was not enough to get me into fat-burning mode. I actually needed to get and keep my insulin low for a longer period of time than 12 hours, which is what I had not been doing. All of us who have struggled with our weight and health issues and have done numerous programs that have failed us, who have lived with despair and suffered with this horrible affliction, know how painful this all is.

Are there special fasting considerations for people with hypothyroidism? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I've read a lot about how fasting affects various health issues, but I haven't seen anything on thyroid disease, specifically hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s). Do you have clients in the IDM program with this and is there anything different you do with them? Thanks so much! Patti KEY QUOTE: “Let the positive health benefits motivate you to conquer your fear of fasting." – Jimmy Moore 2. Is it necessary to eat low-carb, high-fat on non-fasting days to maintain the benefits of alternate day fasting? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I have lost weight successfully using alternate day fasting. I am 5'10" tall and currently weight 163 with a BMI of 23.4 and a 34" waist. On my fasting days, I eat from 0-500 calories and I eat LCHF on my non-fasting days. So what would happen if I did not eat LCHF on my non-fasting days? Would I still see results just at a slower pace or would that negate the benefits I am seeing? Thanks! Tommy 3. If you only eat one meal a day for a 24-hour fast, how do you get adequate calories to prevent metabolic slowdown? Hey Jimmy and Megan, Okay, now I am confused. On a recent episode of Fasting Talk, I heard Megan says it is detrimental to your health to not get enough calories in on your feeding days. She noted that patients who only eat 500-800 calories a day are the hardest ones to help because their metabolism has been slowed down for so long. But then in last week’s episode from Low Carb Breckenridge with Dr. Fung answering questions, he said it’s okay to eat one meal a day when you intermittent fast and that he doesn’t really care about how many calories you get in that meal. There’s no way I could get over 1,000 calories in one meal. So if you are doing this six days a week then aren’t you getting to that place where Megan says it is detrimental with the low calorie intake? Please help me with this. Leota 4. Do I need to do extended fasting to help reduce eczema symptoms or can keto/IF give me relief from this? Hello Jimmy and Megan, Thank you so much for the information you are providing the public. You make my job as a Mind-Body Nutrition Coach easier, knowing I am providing quality, relevant information for myself and my clients. My question for you guys is about eczema. From what I’ve read, it seems fasting is beneficial, but more so for doing an extended fast of more than three days. I'm not sure I want to fast for that long since I don't have any weight to lose. I'm 5'3", 123 pounds, 52 years old and very active with trail running 2x/week, Crossfit 2x/week and ballroom dancing 2-3 times per week. Would shorter or intermittent fasting reduce the eczema symptoms or do I need to suck it up and do an extended fast of a few days to get the most benefits? Or would a ketogenic diet alone help with this? Thank you for all you do! Phyllis JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 5. Are there any differences in the fasting experience consuming water vs. dry fasting? Hello Jimmy and Megan, I've read your book on fasting and love this podcast. I have been doing 7-day fasts and intermittent fasts on a regular basis. While reading your book, I saw that fasting is a practice followed by numerous religious traditions. But one element of several of these traditions, such as Ramadan, that I did not see mentioned in your book or discussed on your show is the impact of not drinking anything during the daytime of these religious fasting periods. Fasting means abstaining from food and drink from dawn to dusk. All the discussions of fasting assumes you are consuming water. But what about these dry fasts during the daytime? Is this something different about fasting with liquids vs. fasting without them?

You recently answered a question of mine about whether I could fast for three days on and three days off to get the autophagic results of an extended fast. I was concerned because I didn't think I could do an extended fast because of my very physical job. Well, long story short, I completed a 26-day fast running solely on water, green tea, and KetoAide (which is a blend of water, light salt for sodium and potassium, and magnesium citrate). I felt fine, had plenty of energy, needed very little sleep, watched some scary stuff come out of my body, dropped 30 pounds, and kept off 18 of it since ending the fast. I could have physically continued to fast, but it was somewhat mentally taxing more than physically—and I just lost the will to continue it. So I broke the fast with a handful of black olives and almonds and then had a nice three egg veggie omelet an hour later. Pure bliss! Thanks again for all you guys do! Happy Fasting! Gary HOT TOPIC: Does fasting raise or lower your cholesterol numbers? Hey Jimmy and Megan, Here’s a hot topic idea for your Fasting Talk podcast. How exactly does fasting impacts your cholesterol? I’ve heard you say how it lowered your cholesterol, but my doctor said fasting would raise mine. And he was right. I had my blood lipids drawn after a 5-day water-only fast as prescribed in The Complete Guide To Fasting and my numbers were wrecked as you’ll see in my results below. I was ketogenic in the before starting fasting, so this is a shock. I would love to hearing a discussion about this on your podcast. Maybe it only works for people with already high cholesterol levels? Here are my numbers after fasting compared with keto: Total cholesterol 255 -- previously 197 Triglycerides 169 -- previously 84 HDL 41 -- previously 69 LDL 180 -- previously 121 Any thoughts? Brady JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 1. Is the fat-burning from a water fast equivalent to the fat-burning from being in a state of ketosis? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I have water fasted for 21 days and many shorter ones for spiritual reasons. I know what it's like to have zero hunger after 3 days of no food. I have plenty of energy to walk and lift light things, but I’m not ready for eight hours of hard labor during a water fast. When I’m in nutritional ketosis, I also have no hunger but I’m able to do heavy lifting and do a full eight hours of hard labor work without trouble. I'm guessing the body fat burns better when we eat fat and protein on eating days than when we water fast. But we have plenty of stored body fat to fuel us when we fast. So my question is this: why can't I do my normal routine that includes a very physically demanding job on just a water fast and have the same amount of energy as I experience in nutritional ketosis? It seems they are accomplishing the same thing and should work equally. What say you? Steve 2. Does the autophagy that fasting produces cause any pain? And can that process prevent weight loss? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I’m currently in Day 7 of my fast and for the past three days my lower body, including my calves, quads, glutes, hips, and lower back, has been so sore that it has prevented me from getting adequate sleep. Full disclosure, these areas in particular are stressed in my daily life already. But fasting seems to make it worse. Could this pain be associated with the autophagy that is happening while I’m fasting? Could this be why I haven’t lost any weight during my fast? I’m consuming clear homemade vegetable broth made from carrots, onions, parsley, and celery over the past couple of days, so maybe there in an insulin response to consuming this. This has been a disaster for me and I’d love to hear your perspective on what might be going on. Thanks for considering my questions for your show.

What about medications? Hey guys, I have a few nagging questions about fasting I’m hoping you can help me with. So what is someone with gastritis supposed to do with fasting when having an empty stomach with this condition is quite painful? Does fasting help heal the stomach? And what about medications that require food to be taken? How do you do that when you’re fasting? Ginny 4. Is there anything different that needs to be done while fasting with adrenal issues? Hello Jimmy and Megan, My question is simple. Are there any special considerations that people with adrenal issues should be aware of when fasting? Thanks so much.

Can a gastric sleeve making longer fasting contraindicative? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I had a gastric sleeve put on three years ago and I have been LCHF off and on for most of that time shifting to keto three months ago. I have been playing around with intermittent fasting since 2015 but decided to give an extended fast a go in 2017. My goal was to fast for as long as I could, but by Day 4 I started to feel nauseous and threw up after taking my salt in the morning. By Day 5 it got worse and I broke the fast. I actually felt so horrible that I called my doctor who recommended taking pain medications and rest. My blood pressure got very high during the fast and I felt so uncomfortable from this experience. Within a few days I felt better and was back to normal again. I don’t know why I reacted so badly, but was wondering if my gastric sleeve was the reason why my extended fasting attempt was an abysmal failure. Have you seen any patients in my situation who have had a similar experience? I really want to do extended fasts to experience the benefits that come from doing it. Thanks for you help!

After reaching a weight of over 470 pounds and dealing with joint pain, heel spurs, sleep apnea and full blown diabetes requiring multiple injections daily. Mark was slowly dying, and he knew he needed help. Mark's mother sent him The Obesity Code in September 2016 and warned him that it might be considered controversial, but after reading it, he felt that the message was what he had been missing. In the short four month span since starting fasting and eating keto Mark has lost 100 pounds! More than the weight loss, in this short amount of time Mark has been able to remove the diabetes medicine and he believes that fasting has saved his life. His health markers are continually improving and he now enjoys more energy, mental clarity and better sleep.

How do I convince friends and family that fasting isn’t an eating disorder? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I love the Fasting Talk podcast. I have been keto for over two years losing 70 pounds with stellar blood work and I have dabbled in 24-hour fasts. But I have reservations about trying a 3-day fast. My biggest concern is about the social backlash I think I’ll experience. I have never had an eating disorder but my family and friends cannot (even after all this time) fathom that I’m cutting sugar and grains out of my diet—much less doing a fast! They were so resistant to my ketogenic lifestyle describing it as an eating disorder that the thought of fasting around them intimidates me.  What do you suggest? Thanks so much! Karen KEY QUOTE: “If you have trouble sleeping, get up and do something productive. Your body will adjust and reset.” – Megan Ramos   2. Do your senses become more heightened by Day 4 of an extended fast and why? I've noticed that when I fast for more than 3 days, my senses seem to become more heightened. Is there any explanation for this or similar experiences reported by other people who are fasting? Thank you and keep up the fantastic work! Clyde 3. Is adding fat such as MCT oil to my tea going to stoke an insulin response during my fast? I'm trying to use an eating plan Megan posted where she broke her fast with bone broth, salad with little or no protein, and green tea for lunch and then a small serving of meat with cooked non-starchy vegetables for dinner. My question stems from something Dr. Fung said about fat. Will having tea with MCT oil in the morning mess up my fast and produce an insulin response? I’m asking because obviously I don’t need insulin to not be released when I’m not eating. Appreciate your response! Jerilyn 4. How can you lower the tension that comes from fasting? Hey guys, I’ve read The Complete Guide To Fasting and have watched a lot of Dr. Fung’s videos. I feel an increased amount of tension when I’m trying to fast that it depletes me of my willpower so much that I give up on it. I’ve suffered from varying degrees of clinical anxiety most of my life and being in ketosis is the closest to calm I’ve ever felt. I know that fasting would be extremely useful for controlling my weight and my anxiety, but I’m guessing the rise in adrenaline and cortisol are what make me feel so tense. Do you have any tricks for alleviating this feeling? I really want to keep fasting. Thank you, Elaine KEY QUOTE: “The more you fast, you'll build up that fasting muscle a little bit more each time.” –  Jimmy Moore JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 5. Does extended fasting lead to insomnia? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I'm on a 7-day fast (currently on Day 5) and I've found that over the last 3 nights I've had trouble sleeping. Is insomnia a common thing during fasting? If so, does it fade over time or the more you fast? I hope to move into an intermittent fasting protocol for long-term use and don't want to spend a couple of days per week with insomnia. I’m not having any withdrawals from caffeine or anything else that would be keeping me awake. And I’ve been in a state of ketosis for over six months, so I’m already in fat-burning mode. My blood ketones were 3.8 mmol/L and blood glucose was 3.4 mmol/L (61 mg/dL) this afternoon and I feel great during the day without cravings or hunger pangs. Any help you can provide on this would be appreciated. I absolutely love all your work and extend a heartfelt thanks for everything you've shared.

GET YOUR COPY OF THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO FASTING Here’s what Jimmy and Megan talked about in Episode 2: - HOT TOPIC to discuss: What Are The Primary Benefits Of Fasting? 1. Will intermittent fasting with less than 1,000 calories send my body into starvation mode? And will unsweetened coconut milk in my coffee technically break the fast? I’ve been doing some intermittent fasting, mainly by skipping breakfast on weekdays, for the past couple of months. My concern, however, is that when I intermittent fast, and also eat no starches, I'm worried that this is similar to a crash diet, because I'm often eating maybe 800-900 calories a day because it's all vegetables and proteins. But eating these things make me full after dinner. I'm 37 years old and and only 5'2" tall and I have maybe 20 pounds more I want to lose. I've spent years being told by experts warning me about not getting starvation mode. How do I know I'm not negatively affecting my metabolism by doing this fasting? By the way, when I do eat breakfast, I'm hungry all day, even when it's just a protein shake. My second question after the metabolism concern is that although I skip breakfast, I do have a small cup of coffee with unsweetened coconut milk in it. Is this technically preventing me from getting the benefits of intermittent fasting or is that ok? Thanks! Tara 2. What’s the best strategy for breaking an extended fast to avoid problems? Hey guys, I definitely appreciate all your work on The Complete Guide To Fasting. I have done intermittent fasting in the past but I'm concerned about coming off of my two to three day extended fast. Other than using a small snack before a meal coming off too fast, are there any other issues that I should be aware of? Thanks again for this awesome book and podcast. James 3. What can I do about diarrhea when I attempt an extended fast? What’s causing this to happen? I've been very interested in doing an extended fast, but at approximately the 72-hour mark I get frequent diarrhea. I'm looking for specific information that can help with my situation. This doesn't seem to be a topic many people want to discuss. Will this go away and get better at some point? Is there such a thing as too much water? Is there anything I can do to control it? Working in an office setting, this feels like a disaster waiting to happen and has always stopped me from progressing further in an extended fast. I want to know how other people handle it. Jay 4. Why did my blood sugar levels skyrocket when I engaged in fasting for a few days? Thank you for this new Fasting Talk podcast. I am an avid listener to The Livin’ La Vida Low Carb Show and Keto Talk, so this new show will be added to my regular podcasting playlist. I have been eating low-carb for about a year now and have really seen an improvement in my blood tests. I haven't really tracked blood glucose consistently during the year but it has always been below 100.  Recently I tried a couple of extended fasts (60 and 96 hours) about three weeks apart.  My goal was to get deeper into ketosis as I have not been successful in maintaining ketosis with a carb level of 30 grams per day.  I know it is probably my protein intake keeping me out of ketosis where I am consuming around 150 grams per day. I thought the fasts would help me with this. But after each fast, I measured my blood ketones and blood glucose. Ketones never registered above 1.5 and my blood glucose was 155 to 170.  Have you ever seen this high blood glucose in folks after moderate length fasts like I’ve done? I have no history of diabetes and am a bit concerned about these numbers. Thanks, Dan 5. Can I do a 500-calorie bone broth fast and get all the benefits of fasting? How about adding a prebiotic in almond milk to my fast? Hi guys! Thank you for taking time to help me out with my fasting question. In The Obesity Code, Dr. Fung discusses doing 24 hour fast has no food.  He said coffee with milk is okay. In the 24 hour fast in the book by Dr. Kellyann Petrucci called The Bone Broth Diet, she says 300 to 500 calories per day of bone broth is okay. Dr. David Perlmutter of Grain Brain fame endorsed the book, but he also recommends a water-only 24 hour fast in his books. Is the 500 calorie bone broth diet correct? Would it interfere with ketosis, weight loss, and all the other health benefits that come from fasting? I’m also using a prebiotic in almond milk that totals about 80 calories. Should I skip this on fasting days? Thank you so much for your help with my questions.

How do you prevent ghrelin being stimulated which could ostensibly slow your metabolism during a fast? I’m excited about your new podcast all about fasting.  I have a question for you that I haven’t heard addressed anywhere. How do you avoid stimulating ghrelin that will slow your metabolism while fasting? Thanks for your work, Karen 2. Is fasting contraindicated if you have had your gallbladder removed? Hey guys, What about fasting when you have had your gallbladder removed? I've heard this stresses the liver the Whole30 book says fasting is not recommend for people without a gallbladder. I'm curious if that's true or if there is a difference between intermittent and extended fasting. I've tried to find some research about this online but no good answers have come up. I asked my gallbladder doctor about this, he had no options for me either. Any information you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks, Leah 3. Why does the notion that fasting is not good for women continue to linger? Hey Dr. Fung, I’ve heard several prominent health experts like Mark Sisson and others online who say women should probably not fast. I don’t understand why this idea of fasting being detrimental to women is so commonplace because I’ve seen nothing but success using it. I’m 48 years old and a mom of three who has used a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet with regular exercise and yoga to be healthy. But my weight and fasting blood glucose levels had been going up. That’s when fasting changed all of that for me enabling me to lower my weight, reduce my waist size, and lowering my blood sugar, insulin, and A1c levels. Why is there such negativity about fasting for women promoted so heavily especially in the Paleo community? Thanks for your books and great work!
