Mark Wahlberg’s hardcore intermittent fasting routine (from a few years back) still hits hard: - 18-hour daily fasts (no food) - 6-hour eating window for 3 meals (4 days/week) -4 meals on 2 days - Full-day fasts the remaining days When he does eat? Clean Plate Club — finishes... every bite like it’s a sacred ritual. “This is breakfast. Gotta get it done. Inspire to do better, baby. You gotta get after it.” 33 seconds of raw Wahlberg discipline that still motivates people today. Who else is running 18:6 or longer fasts right now? How long can you personally go without food before you crack?show more

18:6 isn’t that hard. I do it everyday. Stop eating at 4pm and eat again at 10am. Make life really easy and you feel great.

I’m eating one meal a day. Coffee in the morning then no food till dinner. You get used to it. I don’t even think about food till about 4:00.

The bigger issue I see clinically isn’t when people eat. It’s what they eat during the hours they’re not fasting.

18 hours isn't hard. If you have dinner by 6-6:30 at night. 6-6:30 the next morning is already 12 hours. So noon is 18 hours, 6 hour eating window means he's waiting a ton in a short amount of time. He's eating lunch at a regular time, a nice snack around 3, and dinner at 6pm. Thats not hard if your aren't stuffing yourself with carbs and sugar.

People simply need to figure out what works for them, stop sipping over somebody else’s diet plan.

Just remove the bananas, pancakes, oatmeal, and toast and you won't have to fast. That's just empty calories that will spike your blood sugar without the nutritional value. Better to eat potatoes, blueberries, and beans instead.

I'm doing a similar thing right now. 2 months of 9:15 daily, with once a week going 36 hrs and once each month going 72 hrs... My functional medicine Dr's schedule for a thorough detox after approx. 30 years of hardcore health issues due to a root canal gone bad. So far, going well.

Us poor people invented fasting this shit ain’t nothing new

Just did a 72 hour fast ending yesterday - highly recommend it!!

Currently 18 days into a 21 day fast. Scrolling food content like a zombie.

I do the 16/8 Fast, and I eat way fewer calories! I’m petite. No sugar. No carbs. Just lean proteins, fresh veggies & fruit.

This framework identifies Insulin Suppression as the primary solution to "Chronic Low-Grade Inflammation." It posits that the human body is designed to oscillate between an Anabolic (Building) state and a Catabolic (Cleaning) state. By moving from "Constant Grazing" to Sovereign Pulsatile Feeding, you move from "Metabolic Sluggishness" to Cellular Renewal, ensuring your 2026 output is fueled by a system that has cleared out its internal "biological debris."

OMAD! Water fast 72 hrs twice a month

Intermittent fasting = Consciously Starving Starving has no benefits its a psyop. The truth will set you free. Veganism is a mental illness.

I’m running 23:1 for nearly 2yrs

I’ve eaten 18/6 for years. 170 grams of protein in six hours. I do it 365. No days off.

Doing OMAD currently during Lent; eat 8-9 am, fast 23 hours. Day 22. Have water fasted 92 hours previously…probably could have gone longer but got it in my head I should seek medical advice to continue.

And he’s still gonna die someday like everyone else. 😏

OMAD… Currently at 24 hours. I haven’t pushed it further. As a carnivore it’s effortless!

Look at the crap he is eating. You go on a carnivore diet, do an intermittent fasting for 16-18 hours a day, and eat 2x a day, you won't need anything else

That's not good for your body. Eat more (real food), and move more. You'll lose more and turn your body into a fat burning furnace. Fast occasionally doing 3 to 7 days fasts a couple times a year, depending on length. Your body adapts to what he's doing and slows everything down to compensate. That's definitely a few years old science. Recent studies say otherwise.

What actually makes these protocols work isn’t the extreme fasting window, it’s pairing them with enough protein, micronutrients, and sleep so the body reads it as a hormetic nudge—not chronic underfueling.

I go 18/6 5 days/week.

My record is six days on pure water fasting. It's tough, especially on days off, but you feel so much better during that it makes the process worth it.

I find it really hard to eat the required cals in such a small window.

if you think about it...everyone fasts for 18 hours a day. Waking up: 8 hours of sleep, no food. Meal 1 / Breakfast: Chances are you didnt eat immediately after you woke up. You took a shit, let the dog out, fired up the coffee maker, sat down, turned the tv on, let the dog in, made the cup of coffee, took another shit. An hour goes by before you make breakfast and eat something. Thats 9 hours since your last meal the day before. Meal 2 / Lunch: 3-4 hours later since eating breakfast, you're getting hungry now. Its probably 1pm. One meal being eaten before lunch is over 12 hours. You finish this, you got two meals down in 13 hours. Meal 3 / Dinner: Few more hours later, time to eat that final meal of the day which will be the last one. Mark is a fuckin idiot

That’s some monk level discipline. Wahlberg turned fasting into a full on performance art of grit and clean plates.

What resorts are next door to the oarsman’s bay lodge in Fiji

Why not just become a Muslim and get paradise as well?

I do 18 hour fasts daily. Have a 6 hour eating window where I eat to meals. Early lunch and early dinner. Works very well for me.

😋 Mark Wahlberg's 18:6 fasting routine is intense! 💪 He's not alone; many people swear by intermittent fasting for its health benefits. As for who else is doing it, it's hard to say, but celebrities like Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Aniston have also tried various forms of intermittent fasting.

He actually in an interview said he doesn’t fast. 🤔

I Just broke a 77 hour fast with a papa Murphys chicken bacon artichoke pizza and 2 bottles of wine… I feel Devine!
