I’ve done 3 5-day water fasts the last 5 years and what’s really crazy is after day 2 your mind starts to clear and your tongue and sweat start to smell from all the impurities.

Was this study done with the expectation that Heels Up Harris would steal the election?

I’m all for scientific studies into health and diet. It would be great if we could take all the money we waste on “studying” climate change and the associated billion dollar marketing scams and the trillion dollar government policies regarding climate and put just 1% of that into real scientific studies. we’d probably solve most all the problems.

Just literally broke a 3 day fast this morning due to high ketone levels.

The fasting coach I relied on has been saying much of this information for years.

Glad to see she is finally proven correct.

Shortly after rolling blackouts are implemented across the country, food shortages will naturally follow.

This study teaches you to be happy about it.

The blackouts will be good for the planet, and the lack of food will be good for you.

I just got in Prolon 5-day fast kits to try out. Technically, it is a “fast-mimicking” diet. It seems to provide the benefits of a water-only fast, but is safer and pre-measured. It seems to work by not allowing a complete protein (with all essential amino acids) during the time. Notably, to accomplish this feat, they have to keep it vegetarian.

Honestly, it is similar to the Rice Diet, which reversed extreme high blood pressure and allowed kidneys to heal, as well, but the fast has fewer calories and is only five days, while the Rice Diet is a short-term lifestyle change.

Three consecutive months of the Prolon approach appears to take 1.7 inches off your waist, while rejuvenating your cells (taking out bad components and cells and encouraging stem cells to step up and make new components and cells).

I expect to start it when we get our fresh foods used up, which would go bad during the fast.

This write up doesn't describe some of the good and potentially concerning things from fasting. A mouse study that was negative showed it helped some cancer cells go into overdrive for a bit, even though about every kind of cancer was negatively affected during the fast.

That same study, however, even said fasting 16 hours set similar processes up that could turbo charge cancers, so it was basically saying that if you don't eat all the time, you make existing cancer cells get mini-cycles of turbo boosts.

That just seems crazy to worry about, in light of so many doing well with each kind of fast, and not all dying of cancer. The mouse studies do not claim fasting triggers cancer—it just can encourage its rapid growth, once the refeeding starts. As fasting was always encouraged, even in Biblical times, I just can't see a concerning issue for the majority of people. Keep checking yourself for cancers by getting annual physicals and mammograms and looking for unusual signs on your skin and with going to the bathroom.

I remember some old 2000 year old book that had a lot of fasting in it... I’ll see if I can find it.

I have not done fasting, but on the weekends I do “one meal a day”. That being an evening meal. I don’t get hungry and have plenty of energy during the day.

I think it’s because I’m active duting those hours.

Great post thank you.

I would like to see the same thing done with people who were maxxed out on Mounjaro or Zepbound (terzepatide).

This second group would not be as hungry.

The panel of proteins when compared to the first one might show which proteins make you super hungry on a fast. Or which ones make you bounce back up weight wise after discontinuing the fast.
