3. Stop snacking, eat real meals instead. Snacking all day keeps insulin elevated which interferes with cortisol regulation. Stick to 2-3 solid meals per day. Bookmark this high-protein & low-calorie recipe for later:

Georges St-Pierre achieved remission from ulcerative colitis with fasting. Diagnosed and on heavy medication with little improvement, he started intermittent fasting (16:8) and moved to prolonged water fasts (up to 4 days). Within weeks, his symptoms vanished and he was able to stop the medication completely. Clinical research shows fasting can significantly reduce gut inflammation and induce remission in some ulcerative colitis patients by lowering inflammatory markers and promoting autophagy. Hearing one of the greatest fighters of all time talk openly about using fasting as a serious tool is eye-opening. When standard treatments fall short, simple, evidence-based approaches like fasting (always under medical guidance) can sometimes offer real hope. Have you ever tried fasting for health reasons?

How to fast 101 Fellow fasters, comment your tips down below for the newbies👇🏼 My backstory: I grew up off grid in the north woods of Wisconsin (no electricity, giant garden, dad built log home by hand), and when anyone got sick, my family would use natural remedies. When I was a toddler, my mom got Lyme disease and healed it through fasting. Later my sister’s flu was healed with fasting. When my grandma got cancer, she didn’t fast. She ate an alkaline diet with specific cancer fighting plants and healed with zero medical intervention. Part of her healing was mindset work too. Back to fasting: my mom developed permanent double vision last year and healed it with…. (Drum roll🥁) …fasting! For the PDFs with the complete natural remedy protocols that my family has used with success for decades: #fasting #autophagy #naturalremedies

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.

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. Stop with this fasting and cancer madness already.

Georges St-Pierre eliminated all symptoms of his ulcerative colitis with fasting. After his fight with Michael Bisping, GSP was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and put on heavy medication. He wasn’t a fan of the drugs, so he connected with Dr. Jason Fung and started fasting. Within a month his symptoms basically disappeared. Eight years later, he’s off all medication and says he can eat whatever he wants. Fasting is now just his normal lifestyle, often eating only after his afternoon training, plus four 3-day water fasts a year. Hearing one of the greatest MMA fighters ever credit fasting with reversing his symptoms of a “lifelong” condition is pretty eye-opening. No hype, just real results from someone who’s lived it. In a world full of constant snacking and pharmaceuticals, this shows how strategic breaks from food can powerfully support the body’s own healing processes. Have you ever tried fasting for gut issues or inflammation? What happened?

The Science of Fasting - 2012 Documentary There is a reason so many religions and cultures across the world advocate for fasting to resolve health issues, and think every human being on earth should fast intermittently to help repair and detoxify themselves in this incredibly toxic world where we are being inundated from every vector. Obviously fasting can be detrimental if done excessively and the nutrition is inadequate in between fasting stints, but overall if done right, it's so obviously a great tool for our health that we should all take advantage of. It can by intermittent fasting with 18/6 or 16/8 schedules, it can be 1-2 days a month, it can be 1 week every 6 months, or whatever works best for your individual situation and health goals, but we should all be doing a little bit of fasting every now and again. Considering a large portion of the US is brutally addicted to food and severely overweight and unhealthy with countless diseases and ailments, we should be investing in fasting clinics such as the one shown in this documentary to help them break the addiction and get healthy. Robert F. Kennedy Jr has discussed detox clinics for drug abuse, and hope he can consider the same for obesity and chronic disease with fasting clinics. Many people are not disciplined and strong enough to not eat at home for a few days because of all the temptation, but if they had a place to stay with rules and restrictions, they could learn that discipline and then do it on their own. For anyone that thinks it's dangerous to fast for a long period of time, you should lookup the story of the scottish man back in 1965 who was over 450lbs and fasted for a year straight. If you have body fat on you, you can fast until it's gone, as long as you have water to drink.

A groundbreaking study from 2001 found that 90% of patients were able to CURE their high blood pressure, not with pills but with fasting. The medical establishment didn’t celebrate the finding or put it into practice. Instead, they ignored it. “In this study, 174 consecutive patients with high blood pressure… normalized their blood pressure without the need for medication.” Dr. Alan Goldhamer, the lead author of that study, said he saw things that “were not supposed to be happening.” “I saw people with chronic diseases like high blood pressure resolving their hypertension, getting off the medications” with “medically supervised water-only fasting.” “Use of fasting helps the body do what it really does best, which is heal itself if you get out of the way.” STUDY: Medically supervised water-only fasting in the treatment of hypertension —> FULL INTERVIEW:

Mr. Annamalai is a great politician, however, his claims suggesting that 24-hour or 7-day fasting can "kill all cancer cells" are scientifically inaccurate and potentially harmful to patients. 1. The Warburg Effect: It is true that many cancer cells consume more glucose than normal cells. However, they are highly adaptable. Simply "starving" them through fasting does not consistently kill them, as they can often find alternative ways to survive. 2. Fasting is not a Standalone Cure: While research (like that of Dr. Valter Longo) explores how fasting-mimicking diets can assist chemotherapy by protecting healthy cells, it is not a replacement for medical treatment. A 24-hour fast is not a "kill switch" for cancer. 3. The Danger of Misinformation: Claiming a 7-day fast can eliminate "all cancer" is a dangerous overreach. For many patients, prolonged fasting can lead to severe muscle loss (cachexia) and weakened immunity, which are leading causes of death in cancer patients. Conclusion: Nutrition plays a vital role in cancer care, but medical advice should come from oncologists and registered dietitians. Cultural practices like fasting have spiritual value but should not be mistaken for a medical cure for a complex disease like cancer. (Source of video: Sun News)

Struggling with stubborn belly fat that won't budge? Renowned cardiologist Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, with over 30 years of experience helping patients improve heart health and metabolism, shares his practical step-by-step approach to intermittent fasting in this insightful 58-second clip. He explains how to gradually build fasting habits: - Start gently: A 12-hour fasting window (e.g., stop eating at 8 PM, eat again at 8 AM) with no-calorie drinks only—do this for 2-3 weeks to ease in. - Progress: Move to 18-6 (18 hours fasting, 6-hour eating window) using water, black coffee/tea, or green tea. - For bigger goals (like significant weight loss or supporting metabolic health): Incorporate a 48-hour fast weekly, or every 9-10 days combine OMAD (One Meal A Day) with a 3-day water fast. Dr. Jamnadas emphasizes starting slow and listening to your body—many find it boosts energy over time! Important: This is general educational info. Always consult your healthcare professional before trying fasting, especially if you have conditions like diabetes or are on medications. What's one small change you've made for better health lately?

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

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?

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

Dana White’s jet lag hack is wild. He fasts the entire long flight (he already does intermittent fasting) and drinks hydrogen water the whole way. He’s done it to Australia, Abu Dhabi, and New York, and says he gets zero jet lag. He’s so into it he just bought a bigger hydrogen water machine. Fasting during travel helps reset circadian rhythms by aligning meal timing with the destination’s local time, reducing jet lag symptoms. Molecular hydrogen (in hydrogen-rich water) acts as a selective antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation caused by high-altitude flight conditions, which may further aid recovery and energy levels. Jet lag ruins travel. If this combination really works, it’s a simple, low-cost hack for frequent flyers. Have you tried fasting on long flights before?
