Nothing new. Jains have been doing this type of fasting since ages. They do it these days also. Very often. There are thousands of Jains doing this. Min. 36 hrs, max.? No limit. They go on. My daughter (13) did last year for 8 days and 9 nights in a stretch. #वर्षीतप #jain

4. Fasting. Seyfried is a big advocate for both intermittent fasting & longer-term fasting. Fasting reduces blood glucose & enhances ketone production... Which cancer cells cannot efficiently use. This helps inhibit their growth & promotes autophagy (the body’s process of cleaning out damaged cells).

A 72-hour water fast (drinking water but consuming no calories) can trigger several changes in the body. Some are well supported by research, while others are still being studied. Potential benefits 1. Autophagy may increase * Autophagy is the process by which cells break down and recycle damaged components. * Animal studies show fasting can stimulate autophagy, and in humans it is thought to increase during prolonged fasting, although exactly when and by how much varies and is still being researched. 2. Ketosis * After around 24–48 hours, most people begin producing ketones from stored fat. * By 72 hours, many people are in deeper ketosis, which can: * Increase fat burning. * Provide an alternative fuel source for the brain. * Reduce hunger in some people once ketosis is established. 3. Improved insulin sensitivity * Fasting lowers insulin levels. * Short-term fasting can improve insulin sensitivity after the fast, which may help with blood sugar regulation in some individuals. 4. Reduced inflammation * Some studies have found short-term fasting can lower certain inflammatory markers, although results vary. 5. Weight loss * You’ll lose weight during a 72-hour fast. * Part of this is fat, but a significant amount is also water and depleted glycogen stores. * Some weight is regained once you eat normally again. 6. Lower blood sugar * Blood glucose typically falls during fasting, particularly in people without diabetes. 7. Potential cardiovascular benefits * Temporary reductions in blood pressure may occur. * Triglycerides may improve in some people. * Long-term benefits depend more on overall diet and lifestyle than occasional fasting. 8. Mental clarity * Some people report improved focus and concentration after the first 24–48 hours, possibly related to ketone production. * Others experience fatigue or brain fog instead. 9. Digestive rest * The digestive system gets a break from processing food

2. Extended Fasting. Typically lasting for 2-7 days... These fasts give your body time to repair itself & switch to a different fuel source other than glucose. It's incredibly important to consume a lot of water during these & don't overexert yourself until your body gets used to it. This has massive benefits for fat loss, insulin sensitivity, & autophagy.

Theo Von on fasting: “I’m Musliming around for a day.” He has water with lemon and ginger, sometimes salt and black coffee. Rayasianboy: “I don’t think you can fast for a day. I don’t think that’s how it works.” A funny, light moment about trying to fast once a week. Fasting once a week can trigger autophagy (cellular cleanup), improve insulin sensitivity, and promote fat burning while reducing inflammation, as supported by studies on intermittent fasting.

Intermittent fasting naturally reduces daily calorie intake by ~200 calories, making it an effective tool for fat loss Even without when calories stay constant, intermittent fasting improves metabolic health (glucose regulation, fasting glucose, HbA1c) and lipids On the slightly longer end (~18 hours fasting, 6-hour eating), blood pressure also improves Important note: Just make sure you're getting enough protein (~1.2-1.6 grams/kg body weight) to protect lean muscle

"One Of The Most Powerful Ways To Stimulate A Healing Response In The Body...Is To Stop Eating." Barbara O'Neill Fasting Is Like Deep Cleaning Your Home, It Allows You To Eliminate The Rubbish. Before Restoration & Regeneration Can Happen, Every Room Needs To Be Cleared. Fasting allows your body to enter into the state of Autophagy...the body's way of cleaning out damaged cells, in order to regenerate new healthy cells. Autophagy plays a critical role during cellular development & differentiation, functions in tumor suppression, & linked to life span extension. Autophagy also has diverse roles in innate & adaptive immunity, such as resistance to pathogen invasion. Autophagy has many benefits, including: Cellular homeostasis: Autophagy maintains the balance of cell parts, preventing damaged parts from building up & slowing down cell function. Aging: Autophagy prevents cells from deteriorating prematurely, which contributes to aging. Energy production: Autophagy converts nutrients into energy & mobilize energy stores like glucose, amino acids & nucleic acids. Defense against pathogens: Autophagy eliminates pathogens like viruses & bacteria. Protection against neurodegenerative diseases: Autophagy prevents & also treats neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's & Parkinson's Disease. Protection against cancer: Autophagy prevents tumors by eliminating toxic substances. Protection against inflammation: Autophagy protects against inflammation & increases the ratio of Bacteroidetes to Firmicutes in your gut microbiome. Reduced oxidative stress: Autophagy reduces damage to cells caused by free radicals & reduces your risk of developing heart disease, metabolic syndrome & cancer. Improved DNA stability: Autophagy keeps DNA & genes stable. Improved blood sugar control: Autophagy maintains blood glucose homeostasis & combined with carbohydrate restriction, puts type 2 diabetes into remission. Improved neuronal health: Autophagy supports neurogenesis & neuronal development & increases your energy levels by burning fat instead of glucose for energy. Intermittent & extended fasting is crucial for healing every condition & ailment. Breaking the fast with nutrient dense healing & rebuilding foods like bone broth, beef, eggs & butter give the body the fatty acids & bioavailable amino acids for refueling. 👇Short Term Fasting For Autophagy Healing👇 👇Beneficial Autophagic Response👇 👇Molecular Mechanism Of Autophagy👇 Speaker: Barbara O'Neill Video: Health 1 Solutions

Intermittent fasting protocol, benefits & myths: - Around 11-12 hours of fasting depletes liver glycogen, forcing the body to shift from burning carbohydrates to burning fat and producing ketone bodies. - Ketones are a cleaner fuel source. They generate less oxidative stress and require less energy to metabolize than glucose. - Ketones activate BDNF, supporting learning, memory, and neuroplasticity, while also increasing GABA to quiet mental noise and sharpen focus. - A 5:2 fasting protocol (500 calories on 2 days per week, normal eating the other 5) produced a 20% improvement in cognitive test scores compared to simple caloric restriction alone. - Early time-restricted eating (stopping food intake by 6-8 p.m.) produced a ~10 mmHg drop in blood pressure, comparable in magnitude to first-line hypertension medications. - Fasting doesn't cause muscle loss if paired with resistance training, prioritizing protein within the eating window is enough to preserve lean mass. Dr. Rhonda Patrick on Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.

Dr. Mindy Pelz laid out a practical fasting schedule: - 3-day water fast twice a year (e.g. January & September) to clear senescent cells - 48-hour fast once a quarter for mental health & mood - 36-hour fast once a month if weight loss is stuck 24-hour fast once a week as a baseline - Shorter daily windows (12–17 hours) the rest of the time, adjusted around your cycle Prolonged fasting (48–72 hours) significantly ramps up autophagy and stem cell regeneration. Valter Longo’s research shows periodic 3-day fasts or fasting-mimicking diets can reduce biological age markers. Shorter fasts (24–36h) improve insulin sensitivity and fat loss. Different fasting lengths trigger specific benefits, from cellular cleanup to better mood and metabolism. What fasting schedule have you found works best for you?

Fasting's the most underrated longevity hack on Earth. Doctors said skipping meals destroys your metabolism... Yet fasting is proven to boost your hormones, burn toxic fat, and repair DNA damage naturally. Here are 7 insane fasting benefits (bookmark this):👇️️️️️️ 1. Activates Autophagy Autophagy kicks in after 12–16 hours of fasting. It's your built-in cleanup system, recycling toxic and old cells into new, fresh ones. It also removes toxic debris linked to Alzheimer's, cancer, & accelerated aging. 2. Burns excess fat Fasting flips your body's fuel switch. When glycogen runs low, it start breaking down stored fat into ketones for energy. And the fact that no more calories are coming in your body... Means you're now forced to burn your own fat. 3. Boosts your hormones Fasting increases human growth hormone (HGH) by up to 5x baseline levels. Higher HGH means: - Faster fat loss - Enhanced recovery - Preserved lean muscle It also improves testosterone in men by reducing insulin resistance. 4. Repairs DNA damage With no food to process, your cells focus on SURVIVAL: - Repairing DNA strands - Cleaning out broken parts - Recycling damaged proteins Fasting's one of the few medicines that helps you rebuild from the inside out naturally. 5. Enhances Insulin Sensitivity Fasting gives your pancreas a break from constant insulin production. Over time, your cells become more responsive to insulin → better glucose control & lower diabetes risk. One study found 16:8 fasting improved insulin sensitivity by ~30% in just 8 weeks. I've found a supplement that increases fasting's benefits by 5X. It keeps insulin low, stabilizes energy, even lets you stay lean year-round. It allows me to stay at 10–12% body fat all year effortlessly, without energy crashes. Here's the one I use (AMAZON PRODUCT LINK): 6. Lowers Inflammation Fasting suppresses inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-alpha — the molecular triggers behind: - Brain fog - Chronic pain - Slow recovery By quieting that response, your body heals faster and ages slower. I use fasting daily for the past year and here's exactly why: It gives me: - More energy - Leaner body - Better focus And I feel more alive than EVER. I've made a guide with my fasting protocol. Comment "Fasting" and I'll send it over. (Must Follow so I can DM) 🤝 *Every body works differently, this is not medical advice, just what worked on me." *Always consult a health expert before following any protocols." *Affiliate links included.*

Dr. Benjamin Bikman drops a brutal wake-up call on fasting and fat loss: “If you can’t fast for 12 hours as an adult, that’s a terrible sign — it usually means insulin resistance and chronically elevated insulin.” Why it matters: High insulin locks your body in sugar-burning mode. You run out of glucose fast during fasting → you crash, feel awful, and can’t access stored fat. The fix? Lower insulin by weaning off starch and sugar → train your body to burn fat for fuel (which is literally what fat is stored for). “That can only happen when insulin is down.” No 12-hour fast? That’s a red flag. Start small, cut the carbs, and rebuild metabolic flexibility. How long can you currently fast comfortably — and are you ready to push past that 12-hour mark?

The Dangerous Cult of 'Fasting' Influencers. Fasting has its anecdotal benefits, yes. But it is overrated. And water fasting is highly overrated. But this video featuring a Cardiologist is amusingly nonsense. There is no study from Boston (from a "University?" - how vague!) that says 7-days water fasting reduces risk of cancer (what cancer?) by 70%. And there is no proof that fasting kills cancer cells in humans. Here is what fasting does to cancers in humans. Nothing. Fasting is now become a sort of religion-like cult for wellness influencers to rake in views and engagement. From a scientific standpoint, there are no realistically good human studies to prove anything from fasting that benefits cancers. I know, I know, "autophagy" and all that. Autophagy: Autophagy is the natural, conserved degradation of the cell that removes unnecessary or dysfunctional components. Yes, its a legit term and all. But in the context of cancer reduction and fasting in humans, it sounds like "immunity boosting," another wellness fraud term. The effects of fasting on cancer cells are all based on MOUSE studies, and none explicitly translated to humans. See this paper: everything is based on cells and tissues and small animal experiments: "While research on the subject is tantalizing, there’s little clinical evidence involving humans to substantiate the claims. Studies on the potential impacts on cancer treatment from various forms of fasting or calorie restriction, including the possibility that they reduce side effects, have been limited." "Fasting may not be appropriate for malnourished individuals or those with cancer cachexia, which results in a continuing loss of skeletal muscle mass, or for people with chronic diseases. Those with diabetes need to be very careful, because of the risk of hypoglycemia." "Based on our systematic review and meta-analysis, there is currently no evidence supporting the superiority of therapeutic fasting over non-fasting in preventing chemotherapy toxicity." - see here: Even intermittent fasting (IF) is overrated in cancer. "IF may be considered in adults seeking cancer-prevention benefits through means of weight management, butwhether IF itself affects cancer-related metabolic and molecular pathways remains unanswered. See here: Also this: "Fasting for short periods does not have any beneficial effect on the quality of life of cancer patients during treatment. Evidence on fasting regimes reducing side effects and toxicities of chemotherapy is missing." See here: The whole aspect of "fasting reducing cancer incidence" in the real world is just due to weight loss. Obesity is associated with at least 13 types of cancers and reversing obesity reduces risk of cancer - nothing to do with fasting killing off cancers cells in the body. And one can lose weight even without fasting. See here: Everything from prevention of adverse events of cancer, to reduction in side effects from chemotherapy, to slowing cancer growth by reducing glucose levels, to promoting cell regeneration by affecting autophagy is all LAB BASED MOLECULAR LEVEL HYPOTHESIS that has not been proven conclusively in humans. See here: Cancer patients must not starve. They must remain hydrated and they must eat a well balanced diet because cancer condition is highly demanding. And dont water fast for 7 days. Easy for people to make reels on it, but in real life, it may prove disastrous. Water fast does make you lose weight (because of starvation) but it is not at all a healthy way to lose weight.

6. Ketogenic Diet. Seyfried advocates for a ketogenic diet: • High-fat • Moderate-protein • Low-carbohydrate This diet shifts the body from using glucose as its primary energy source to burning fat & ketones. Since cancer cells primarily rely on glucose for growth... Limiting glucose starves cancer cells & supports metabolic health. Foods you'd consume on this diet: • Nuts • Olive oil • Avocados • Low-carb vegetables • Lean proteins (Ex. fish)

Georges St-Pierre on fasting: “You can stay almost a month without eating, for most people.” He mentioned Angus Barbieri, who fasted for 382 days, lost a crazy amount of weight, and never gained it back. “If you don’t have a condition and your doctor says it’s okay, you’re not gonna die in only a few days of fasting.” Extended fasting triggers autophagy, where the body clears damaged cells and reduces inflammation, which can support recovery and metabolic health, as seen in studies on intermittent and prolonged fasting. A take from one of the greatest fighters ever.

Theo Von was buzzing on his 40-hour fast. “I’m jacked up, dude. I think I’m riding that energy.” He’s been doing it a lot lately, four days once, now about 30 hours once a week. He likes the control, the faster thinking, and the challenge. Fasting triggers ketosis and autophagy, where the body burns fat for fuel and clears damaged cells, often leading to improved mental clarity and focus as reported in studies on intermittent and extended fasting. A funny, honest look at why some people push their bodies.

A funny, honest look at why some people push their bodies.

Fasting is NOT Superior for Autophagy Autophagy has become the biggest buzzword in nutrition in the last 5 years & whenever I do videos or posts on intermittent fasting & why it is a useful tool for fat loss, but NOT superior to other calorie equated diets, people invariably say that ‘tHeSe StUdIeS dOn’T aCcOuNt FoR aUtoPhAgY!’ When I cite studies showing that normal calorie restriction gets the same benefits as calorie equated fasting diets, people often say that fasting gets you the benefits WITHOUT calorie restriction. Well, a very highly controlled study showed that this is NOT the case Well this study did (PMID: 34135111). They had people follow one of 3 diets: 1) Alternate day fasting without calorie restriction where they ate 200% of their maintenance calories on feeding days, & 0% the next day (200:0) & continued to alternate them throughout the course of the study 2) Alternate day fasting with 25% calorie restriction where they ate 150% of their maintenance calories on feeding days & 0% the next day (150:0) & continued to alternate those throughout the course of the study or 3) Continuous calorie restriction where they had people eat 75% of their maintenance calories every day for the duration of the study (75:75) Both the 150:0 & 75:75 diets reduced body weight to the same extent, but the 75:75 group lost slightly more fat mass & retained slightly more lean mass than the 150:0 fasting group. Both restricted groups lost more body fat & weight than the 200:0 group which did not lose weight or fat. Markers of autophagy were also equivalent between the 150:0 & 75:75 groups as well as other adipose tissue genes, gut hormones, and markers of cardiometabolic health This study demonstrates that it is the caloric restriction that drives these improvements in health & the changes in autophagy, NOT because fasting has some magical effect on autophagy that exists outside of the caloric restriction it imposes I am NOT saying fasting is bad. I’m not saying it’s not a useful tool or that you can’t lose fat with it. You can & it can be a great tool for many people… it’s just not magic like many proponents of fasting try to make it out to be Tired of the diet wars & not knowing how to make sense of all the contradictory information out there? Comment ‘FRAMEWORK’ and I’ll send you my simplified guide on how to lose fat & build muscle for FREE

Can people in power/ authority kindly stop with this absolute BS on "fasting killing cancer cells" and citing religious nonsense to appeal to peoples emotions? Fasting is really quite dangerous for cancer patients in real life. Let me explain and bury this myth once and for all, especially for science illiterates like this guy. [1] The most common argument is that fasting "starves" cancer by cutting off its sugar (glucose) supply. While it is true that cancer cells consume vast amounts of glucose, they are biologically aggressive survivalists. If you stop eating, your body eventually switches to burning fat and breaking down muscle for energy. Cancer cells are highly adaptable; when glucose is low, many types of cancer can mutate to feed on other fuel sources, such as lactate, amino acids (from your muscles), or fatty acids. You cannot simply "starve" a tumor without starving the patient first. [2] Fasting is dangerous for cancer patients because of cancer cachexia - a wasting syndrome where the body loses muscle and fat rapidly. Cachexia is responsible for up to 30% of cancer deaths. Cancer puts the body in a hyper-metabolic state (burning energy fast). If a patient fasts, they risk accelerating muscle loss and weakening their immune system. A weak body cannot tolerate life-saving treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, nor can it fight off infections. [3] Most claims about fasting curing cancer come from studies on mice or cells in a petri dish. In a dish: You can kill cancer cells with almost anything (lemon juice, bleach, starvation, even shooting a bullet at it at close point or using a grenade to destroy the entire lab) because they have no immune system or body to protect them. In a human: The biology is infinitely more complex. Human metabolism, hormonal fluctuations, and tumor micro-environments mean that what shrinks a tumor in a mouse often fails completely in human trials. [4] Proponents often cite "autophagy" (the body's cellular recycling process triggered by fasting) as the cure. They claim it cleans out cancerous cells. Science shows that autophagy is a double-edged sword. -In all people, autophagy is a normal physiological process - whether fasting or not, which help in cleaning up damaged cells. -But in patients with cancer, once a tumor exists, cancer cells can actually hijack autophagy to survive stress (like chemotherapy) and repair themselves. In this context, fasting could theoretically help the cancer survive the treatment intended to kill it. [5] "Cancer" is not one disease; it is over 200 different diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth. Some cancers are driven by hormones, some by genetic mutations, and some by viruses. A fasting protocol that slows down one specific type of breast cancer might have zero effect on pancreatic cancer, or worse, accelerate a different type. The most lethal aspect of this misinformation is the delay in treatment. Cancer is a time-sensitive disease. While a patient spends months trying to fast the cancer away based on religious or alternative advice, the cancer often metastasizes (spreads) to other organs. Once cancer spreads, it often moves from being curable to being terminal. Relying solely on fasting wastes the critical window where medical intervention could have saved a life. Suggesting a single "ancient cure" for 200 complex genetic diseases is scientifically illogical... ...and generally stupid, as this video proves.
