Completed a 84 hour fast!!!!!! 🎉🎉
-
Did a 9 day fast. 4th day I was sick as a dog. Got through it. Afterwards, my everything improved. My eyesight, hearing, thinking clearly. I lost 16 lbs.
-
Best part of fasting is stomach shrinks, and sugar cravings evaporates
-
I just realized as I watched your video that you were my doctor 4-5 years ago! You changed my life then and cured my issues without meds.
-
Much respect & love for Dr. Sung! I have healed my body from an autoimmune disease by doing two 5 day water fasts over a 4 month period.
-
I just finish a 48 hours water fast for the first time. Next step is 72 💪
-
I did 3 days. Day 1 was okay. Day 2 I cried and wanted sugar. Day 3 was fine. I followed that by a 21 day Daniel fast. I felt good mentally.
-
53 years old, overweight, really falling apart physically. Always been super sugar addicted, and never had the will power to fast until now. I'm on day 3, and simply blown away how good I already am feeling!! Mental clarity and my mood are , I'm struggling to find the right words, so surprisingly good! I'm just so stoked to go a whole week with this water and coffee only fast. I went on a roadtrip yesterday, (day 2) and I just simply could not believe that i was able to watch my family eating their delicious smelling McDonald's breakfast, and later in the day, Wendy's food, and I'm talking fries and chocolate frostys, everything yummy, and i was just fine!!! I have also now gained a whole new page if mind and confidence in knowing that if crap ever hits the fan, i can go a HECK of a long time without food if necessary. I am now determined to begin incorporating occasional fasting and better food choices, along with smaller meal portions and exercise into my new future life!

I've been doing 20:4 intermittent fasting for 4 years and I've reversed prediabetes, joint pain and lost 103 pounds. But I've not taken the next step of doing 36, 48 and 72 fasts. This has got me thinking again.
-
Starting my fast today. Aiming for at least 3 days. Wish me luck 🤞🏾💪🏾
-
76 hour fast fixed my 7 years of hand pain. Injurt was caused by pinched radial nerve damage. Still pain free and 100% use a year later.
-
I just did a 48 hour water fast and after opening it, it seemed like my body was asking for me to do this every week…it felt such relief
-
Today is my 5th day and i still don't feel any hunger and i'm super energetic. At work i walk all day so time goes by quickly. To stop headache i use Himalayan salt and electrolytes.
-
just completed a 9 day fast (had to break it for Father's Day and my wife's b-day)....amazing journey! So worth it. Going to repeat in July and maybe go longer...lost 15+ lbs...gained a few back...but the body, brain reset was awesome!! Secret....if you are really struggling with weakness, low blood sugar, etc...a large tablespoon of raw honey got me through the rough spots....I did swim 2 days...and took the honey beforehand to make sure I didn't bonk....really had to increase my water intake more than normal...huge benefits...amazing spiritual awareness as a Christian too!
-
Starting today for a 5 day fast...I did it last September and then moved to intermittent fasted which kicked off a 65 pound weight loss by Thanksgiving! Unfortunately, stopped intermittent fasting in January and have gained back about 20 pounds. Just starting back today - please pray for me!
-
I just completed a 3 Day water fast, the 2nd day was kinda tough but after that I was good to go I didn't want to break the fast but I did, got so much energy afterwards, less body pain, I'm doing this to improve my gut health......I plan to keep at it until healing occurs🤞🏽
-
Wish me luck, I'm starting a 5 day water fast starting Saturday, March 16 2024. First ever fast.
-
Excellent advise. I'm starting a water fast in the morning; adding 2-3 drops of liquid minerals and a pinch of Himalayan salt in a mason jar. My plan is to rewatch this episode each day.👍👍💚😶
