Excellent talk! I am 75 years old, and I have had 2 strokes and 3 heart stints. In the last 22 months, I have been fasting 18-20 hours per day for 5-6 days per week; as a result, I have lost ~30 pounds; am no longer pre-diabetic (A1C was 6.0; now 5.5); reduced acid reflux by 95%; reduced blood pressure meds by 75%; ended Celebrex for arthritis pain in knees and hips; have seen increased cognition - a significant increase in typing speed; more bruise resistant than in the past and my skin is less dry and chapped. I have not felt this good in years - fasting is a miracle.

Felt so horrible I decided to stop everything and go on a fast. I had done one 10 years ago for 3 days and knew I'd feel great after a couple days. I stayed on for 128 hours till Saturday morning. I went from 155lbs to 144.2lbs. I did moderate exercise for an hour as much as my body would handle. TRUTH- this time I felt out of it till Friday.

fasting is part of my lifestyle too. and i know that enlightened feeling, the clarity of mind. as my fast nears its end, i also don't want it to end.

The main benefit of fasting is getting into ketosis, that's when the magic happens, neurogenesis, autophagy, mental performance, fat loss, killing pre cancerous cells, the list goes on. I find it hard to believe you get these benefits breaking your fast with sugar from both the lemon & maple syrup. That's literally the antithesis of fasting.

If you are going to fast I just suggest doing intermittent fasting. One meal a day. Then switch over to a 16 hour fast and do 2 meals a day. That is sustainable forever if you want. If you must fast for a prolonged period of time then do WATER ONLY. Mineral water. If you're doing this with the maple syrup you are going to constantly be spiking insulin because you are drinking sugar basically all day.

From my experience you need to go more than a week to get the best bennifits. Add a week you're just starting to get over the fasting flu. And it really gets a lot better after that to where you're not hungry and you're feeling great. Then the last seven months I've done 3 fasts a 40-day fast, a 30-day fast, and a 25-day fast, as well as some shorter fasts, and intermittent fasting.

Fasting changed my life. I wouldn't be nearing my goal weight without it. I do intermittent fasting. I eat once every 24 hours, usually around 7pm. If I start too early I end up binging. At night I can go to sleep afterwards and therefore not worry about eating.

This is absolutely great! I practice fasting throughout the year.

Ramadan fasting is a blessing

Fasting & prayer ... main ways to develop the spirit..."this material fast is an outer token of the spiritual fast; it is a symbol of self-restraint, the withholding of oneself from all appetites of the self, taking on the characteristics of the spirit, being carried away by the breathings of heaven and catching fire from the love of God." ~ Baha'i Faith

Thank you, Phil & TED for this inspirational ted talk.

A year ago, I would have thought he was radical, and this speech would be bogus. This year I went through a lot of digestive issues from consuming too much sugar, carbs, and eating 3 meals a day plus snacks. I decided to have enough willpower to try fasting. Fasting changed my life in more ways than just physical. I no longer have digestive issues; I am no longer constipated. More importantly, my mental clarity is heightened, and my mood has changed from depressed to waking up happier, energetic, and motivated to take on the day. All in all it makes sense. We used to be hunters and gatherers.

He has just scared people away from fasting! He should try diluted fruit juice fasting for 30+ days and stop eating junk food to break the fast. It's NOT as hard as he says. Also, he is consuming too much energy so his hunger never goes away really. Please research further than just this video. It feels amazing to be so clean on the inside.

The master cleanse is a juice fast, juice from lemons and juice(pure maple syrup ) from a maple tree. The syrup has all the vitamins and minerals of any fruit juice. Yes it does have sugar in it but it is deluted with water, jut like a juice fast. Do your research before you speak out of ignorance.

I agree with some other comments, if he'd ditch the sugar water and just drink water it would be EASIER and more beneficial.

I am on day 3. I feel fantastic . I plan on going for at least 7 days if not more. The worst day was day two. Day 1 was easy but day two took a little reaching inside and now.....its actually easy

I have had amazing results with fasting. I chose to do Time Restricted Eating, which is a type of intermittent fasting: 15 hours a day, while only drinking water during the fast.

As a person with experience in long term (7-21 days) water only fasting, this is not the best advice. True detoxification can ONLY be achieved by water intake only and the way he describes on breaking the fast, IS WRONG, WRONG, WRONG and harmful.

rustyispunk So this guy fasted for what, several days? So what his body went through was as follows: He went from eating each and every day, several times a day and likely at certain intervals... to ceasing eating and only drinking water for all these days in a row. His digestive system shut down... it had nothing to do, no food to digest... it stopped working. Then, at that certain point, he decides to re-introduce food into the system again. Does it seem reasonable to eat all that harsh protein/meat combination after all that time that the stomach had not been working, doing its job? It was insane, he must have been extremely uncomfortable. The best thing he could have done was drink an herbal tea, then a light, watered down juice, watermelon is great... for maybe a couple days and then introduce whole fruits, followed by salads... and after several days he could return to the eating habits he had before (which are actually poor eating habits, but all these "experts" on the internet "know" that meat and dairy are "so good" for them... well, I digress).

Did I mention I'm a venture capitalist? Did I mention I run ultra marathons? Did I mention I go to fancy business meals? Hm. Better mention that last one again. And the first one a few more times too. Good. People need to know about this.

I loved this speech and I'm surprised there's so much criticism. Good for you, doing something amazing for your body. Obviously you are fit, mentally strong, and living a great life. I've also done the master cleanse for 10 days. Maybe it's not as effective as a water fast, but it's more effective for attaining certain health goals than eating my regular diet.

i try fasting like moslem Surprisingly, my heart becomes very warm, my mind is as calm as water, my body feels light and energized, and what I like the most is that my food tastes very very delicious even though only rice and fish

Brilliant talk and so very encouraging.Fasting is the genie in the bottle.

Not eating between meals is a great way to fast (I eat twice a day) avoiding sugar completely (including foods that turn to sugar, such as wheat and starch) I lost 20 lbs in 6 weeks. I was lead to this diet through meditation. Self-actualization looks different for everyone.

The Talk Presenter needs to do some research (not hard). Try listening to another TedTalk by Dr Mark Madsen or presentations by Dr Jason Fung, Ted Naiman, etc

Thank you. I am inspired to fast beyond the intermittent fasting I am doing now. Maybe for the New Year I can start a 3-7 day fast. Probably just water though.

Been doing 1-day fasts now since February of this year. Super beneficial. Plus its a great way to lose weight.

"i drink as much of sugar lemon juice as i can" . Is when this man and ted talk lost all credibility. ALSO 3:12 when he said "as the name suggests" LOL. i wonder what "water fasting" suggests

what do you think of self fermented kombucha, should that be avoided too?

About two or three times a year, I'll do a 4 or 5 day fast. It's a LOT EASIER and less discomforting than he made the first few days out to be.

I'm gonna try this cleanse . Thanks for sharing.

Train yourself to fast! Loads of health benefits. We are also headed into a depression and food will become short. Be prepared

I did a 21 day water fast and I only had water which what a true water fast is which is very healing but the true healing starts at 14 days so doing 7 days is nothing. Do longer fasts even 40 days, your body, mind and souls will thank you and then you will experience true bliss and enlightened state of being.

Not a good thing to say it’s a waste unless you go X days. False. Anyone will get benefits from as little as a 48-72 hour fast. The longer the fast the better but saying 7 days is worthless is myopic. Start slow and work up to it.

3:21 the looks on these two's faces summarizes this talk quite well i think

I fast 3 days and it was just great. Will do it again.. the funny thing is: the hunger is not getting bigger.. and you start to forget. Just feel good, cause your will has power over your mind and body again !!!! Against the headache drink a salat smoothie.. it works!

Love that my senses are keener, yes deeper appreciation of food

This is a "cleanse" not a fast. Don't mistake the two

Yeah the second he drinks maple syrup he's broken his fast.

This is amazing thank you ❤️

So proud.. three days so far into my cleanse. After the first day I decided to give up smoking aswell. I’m doing three weeks fast and hoping to never tough a cigarette again.

In the beginning he said hes not all there by day 7, then says he feels great by day 7 at the end of the vid.

Psalms 109:24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

This was truly Inspirational...! If THIS can be a TED talk, then I'll be giving mine in no time! (Ah jeez.. Lol he just Had to pick three staples of Bad health: high cholesterol, carcinogenic processed meat, and processed wheat... Ouch....)

By the way, about Maslow's hierarchy of needs, fasting is not considered as the lack of food (as in the case of poverty), but a refrain from food (when you have the ability to do so). The theory was about the former.

Dry fast is the most effective fast that I've experienced with

What a way to ruin and give a bad image to such a healthy practice..

This is great information! I am going to give this a try!

Thank you!

Marple sirup ! it's not a real fast. It's starving, that's why it's so hard and useless...

Not bad. I started the fast because my body didn't want to eat. Decided to fast until my appetite came back. So the first few days were fine. Then the switch to ketosis was a bit rough. I think they call it the "keto flu" ....brain fog, very low energy etc. The last couple of days have been pretty good. Hunger pangs have been few, weak, and fleeting. I'm only breaking the fast because it's not supervised, and I've been warned that it might be dangerous to proceed past 10 days without someone monitoring my electrolytes etc.

Appetite is not hunger... Hunger does not always indicate the moment to break a fast. ...Fasting is a voluntary absence of all food to allow the total digestive resting period that is necessary to make the body feed itself soly on it's fat reserves and on most obstructions and infections that are harmful to the the body. Autolysis of infections, gall stones, kidney stones etc. only begins after 3 days of fasting on water only and resting most of the time in bed or on a lounging chair in a warm enough room(20 Celsius= 68°F) cf. Book: Fasting can Save Your Life ! Dr H. M. Shelton, PHD in physiology.

Pierre Normandeau- Im totaly go and do that on my vacations.:)

Intermittent fasting is the best. I have been fasting for 18 to 21 hours daily for the past 3 years.

Interesting. When I was a teenager, food was rather tough to get until I found work. So I got used to going several days without eating comfortably. Later in life I wanted to put on more weight. So I started trying to live the breakfast, lunch, and dinner life style but not in huge amounts. In the last couple of years, I started water fasting again. Surprisingly it was hard for me to get through three days again but I managed to. It does seem to help your mind and body with whatever you may be going through.

I Dry fast for 23hrs most days never felt better.

i wonder if he reaches a state of Ketosis while doing the lemon water - maple syrup - and pepper.. i would think it would prolong the hunger pains.

thank you

This is not fasting. He's doing the master cleansing. Fasting is depriving your body of glucose for a period of time, say 12hours or more. Nice video though

This guy never fasted in his life and is giving advices on fasting.

@@brothaman1571 yes really, he consumes calories every day, that's not fasting you don't activate a process called autophagy.

He explains the stages that i went through on the 7 day fast. Interesting.

Water and Sole (so-lay) for vitamin and mineral content. When fasting I don't get the upset stomach issues when using Sole. I use a gravitational water filter with stages of filtration which adds back mineral content (Santevia system)...I also do coffee enemas to cleanse the colon. I don't use any juices...just water and Sole. I only had two days, of only a couple hours, where I just wanted to "chew" on something...I missed chewing up a peach and I wanted a piece of chicken one day...I just didn't dwell on it or let myself feel deprived, I was on a mission! But I had lots of time, no grocery shopping, no preparing food, no cleaning the kitchen...no lunch to pack for work! I did this for Spiritual reasons which the physical benefits are a positive consequence of my spiritual fast. I just did it, I didn't know how long until day 4 - I was given a sign for 10 days...on day 11 I woke up alert, refreshed, energized, I didn't want to break my fast...after a water fast you want to take 5 days and juice then a couple days of juice plus Small bites of easy foods like chicken! Not red meats until day 10 after a slow food tiny bites introduction. I don't eat like I used to - all my supplements, hundreds of dollars, threw out; protein drinks, gone...I'm a runner to, one of those people who can run a half marathon in 2:30 hrs but carrying a 20 pound sack around their waist line....this fast has changed me physically and mentally. I went through my house and for three days I decluttered only keeping things that brought me joy...clothes, knickknacks, pictures on the walls, my walls are bare...I think I'm become ingrained a minimalist....and a great weight has been lifted and so has that fat waistband. I run more efficiently now and I still fast every morning until 11:00. I still take my Sole (so-lay)...and my prayers have been answered.

Inspiration

any people here trying to fast for straight 24 hours ? from 6to 6? and then having an small meal? like soup? or fresh fruits? I have tried 1 day of water fast and feels great, but due to work and other things I can not do it for 7 days long. it says u also need to take rest while fasting: imagine how boring it can get then ? why not fasting 1/2 days a week, and building it up to 7 days or more ? I have already fasted 2 days this week, only not in 1 row. tomorrow at 15:00 will be another 24hours straight of no food...

To get autolysis going, one must fast and rest for at least 3 days...and longer.
