What happens if you Don't Eat for 44 Days? (Fasting Science)

Go to drinklmnt.com/WhatIveLearned to get a sampler pack of LMNT with any purchase! Note: If you're new to fasting, take it slow. I'm not your doctor, so I can't guess what's appropriate for you, but I wouldn't start out with a 7 day fast if you've never fasted before.

By far the hardest part of fasting is the boredom. If you've never done a multiday fast, you have no idea the enormous amount of your daily time is spent thinking about, preparing, or eating food. Depending on your lifestyle, it can be really hard to fill all that extra free time. If you want a fast to be easy, start it when you are very busy.

Well there you are, young man. First time I see the man behind the voice. I appreciate your videos immensely

I have PCOS and I did a fast a few years ago and by my 5th day fasting, I was down 12lbs and had regulated my menstrual cycles. I went from only having one maybe 3 times a year to every month like I'm supposed to. It definitely works. I'm starting again tomorrow. Pray for me because I need this. I feel like a prisoner in my own body.

I did it for 15 days and I lost 20kg, the only thing you must remember is to always drink water and avoid eating anything. It's very hard in the first 3 days but in day 4th to 15th you just feel like you're floating and have very high energy in your body, also your skin becomes much more clearer, and your mind becomes more active and receptive.

I fasted for 41 days, not out of choice. Adventure traveler got stuck in the desert for 41 days. Last three days no water. My hunger stopped after 12 days, 22nd day I’d have killed for food. Day 32-33 hunger returned. Best part was going to the bathroom stopped for a month. Lost 55lbs. While it was a positive experience health wise but I wouldn’t recommend it🙏🏻 Ps. The marines rescued me, Semper Fi

Two years ago in February of 2020, I was a massive 420lbs(6'3") about to turn 40 and I decided enough was enough. I started a six-day fast and then jumped into intermittent fasting on the carnivore diet. I recorded my weight each day along with my waist measurement and food intake when I ate. Nine months later I had lost just over one hundred pounds and thirteen inches off my stomach. It didn't seem hard and I was happy and proud. At the end of one of my fasts, the scale even read 299.9! I was stoked. It's May of 2022 here I sit at 405lbs. I don't know exactly where I gave up, maybe after I saw I was below 300lbs and convinced myself the job was done. Anyway little by little I started into my old habits and by the holidays I was full-blown eating fast food a lot. I was not tracking any of my stats, they just started to climb back up. A year to take it off and one more to yoyo right back to where I started. FML, I guess it's a common story. Now I'm back in the mindset of enough is enough. I want to lose the weight, I know I can because I already did. I would like to be healthy and play with my kid without having to have a sit-down after just a few minutes. I've tried to psych myself up to start again but it's always: one last cheat meal or I'll start on Monday. Excuse after excuse. I'm trying to get that motivation I had two years ago. Videos like this get me closer and closer. Thank you for content like this. If you've read this to the end, thank you for reading my ramblings. Be well and have a great day!

I fasted for 45 days and it changed my life. I will always recommend a prolonged fast to anyone struggling with weight

I'm into fasting medicine since 2014. I'm fasting NOW, 60 hrs in while writing and going to an open ending prolonged fasting. I'm an ex obese person. Now i'm bodybuilding lean. SALT is VERY important for fasting longer than 3-5 days, with a pinch of potassium (but stay low 'cause potassium imbalance could give you death by heart failure). I lost over 50 kg since 2014, NO LOOSE SKIN at all. Fasting + bodybuilding = cosmetic surgeon of the Devil. While fasting for weight loss you'll discover that fasting can cure a LOT of things: autoimmune pathologies, age related cosmetic defects, old scars, skin defects. And it starves cancer too, if you have it. Surplus IS the main pathology's cause in modern world. Abstinence IS the cure. Keep fasting, my friends!

I've been on a continuous fast for awhile now. I feel great, I'm not hungry...and when I'm done, I'll do another 5 minutes tomorrow.

I've fasted for 9 days and I can tell you hunger completely stops after day 2. By day 3 it's relatively easy. The hard part is getting through those first two days. I've also discovered that doing cardio on those first two days burns through that liver glucose faster so you can get into ketosis faster. After that, simply walking was enough of a workout for me. I stopped because of the nausea, but I think if I had supplemented electrolytes, I could've stopped the nausea without breaking my fast. I think I'm going to try it again soon. Best sleep I ever had.

7:00 1000 people fasted from 4-21 days and 84% of them health improved 7:13 diabetes went away after 2 weeks of fasting 7:18 4 weeks of fasting cured a woman with diabetes for a year but gained back the weight then came back 7:36 cured arthritis with 45 days of fasting

36 hours in fasting here! Energy is low. Not much hunger now, but since all my glucose is gone and I’m running on ketones if I do any physical activities I can definitely feel the fatigue. I think best results came right around 24 hours. I’m still going and will keep updating!💪🏻🤙🏻

I think the main reason that society demonizes fasting is because it’s the exact opposite of what large companies want… fasting is the absence of eating, so of course they’re not going to sell much if people constantly fast. I’m so glad we’re on the right end of the nutrition knowledge spectrum!

I’m actually doing a week long fast, currently in day 3. So surprise to see such a well timing video 😁👌 Update: I made it to 5 days, my friend made it to 7. We’ve done this twice. I rate 8/8 mate, would do it again. It cured my post-covid brain fog.

I have been doing intermittent fasting for 4-5 years already. And it has helped me so much. Have been doing OMAD for 2 years. Before fasting I had my sugar levels high as well as my cholesterol. This has helped to get my levels optimal. I definitely recommend it. It’s a great way to keep weight in check without needing to count calories. Once you get used to it you notice how much of our daily lives is focused on eating and it’s not even that needed

Today is my last day of OMAD. I have been doing this for 30days. I will now proceed to water fasting for 14 days

I fasted for 3 days when I was 11 years old in order to enter ketosis to treat my epilepsy. The first 24-36 hours is the worst, but after that, hunger vanishes and my mood was improved, I had tonnes of energy and just felt really light and euphoric and completed my homework and chores far faster than I normally did. I think this is a reason why most religions encourage fasting, it clears out the body, you feel great, and it lets you focus on prayer, and it's easier to enter a euphoric state. After getting off epilepsy medication, which had the side affect of suppressing hunger, I ended up gaining a lot of weight. I have been working myself towards intermittent fasting. I started by waking up at 7 am and not eating until noon. Then each day I would add 5 minutes on to that. I now do not eat until 1:50 pm and I no longer feel hungry for breakfast. My goal is to get to 4pm as my first meal of the day, and from there I want to start fasting over the weekend. So far, I haven't lost weight, but I have stopped gaining weight and I have been able to lift more at gym and feel more energy during the day. Also, having fewer meals makes for less of my day spent cooking and cleaning, which is a plus.

Your body definitely can survive for 40 days and a bit more without food. I did that in 2015. My body went through weakness but after 10 days I was perfectly fine. There was no need for number 2. Light-headedness went when I drank some water. I also did a lot of praying in that time. That strengthened me a lot. At the end of the period my mind was extremely alert. I also was at a state of calmness that I had never experienced before.

On my second day of fasting! On the first day, I had a massive headache. I weigh 131 lbs at 5’2. My reason for it is my health, growing discipline, and dependency on food.
