let’s talk about the mistakes people

make when they do prolonged fasting

out of all the things you can do

prolonged fasting is probably one of the

most important things you can do for

your health for your ability to avoid

cancer

for anti-aging

for strengthening your immune system

[Music]

for your brain to grow new brain cells

for any type of chronic health condition

that involves inflammation like

autoimmune disease like celiac and

digestive inflammatory diseases so hands

down prolonged fasting just takes your

health results to the next level

it’s way more powerful than even regular

intermittent fasting and whether you’re

doing a 48 hour uh fast or 72 hours or

even seven days this video is going to

give you some insights on some big

problems you can avoid if you just have

the data now there’s two main things

that you need to know

uh when you do these prolonged fast

number one insulin becomes very very

sensitive okay if you had insulin

resistance

now you’re going to have insulin

sensitivity so insulin is going to be

very very sensitive and that means

if you do

carbohydrates to break your fast you are

going to make a huge mistake so let’s

talk about mistake number one breaking

your fast with carbohydrates

and i’m also including fruit and berries

you don’t want to do that

because here you are you generated these

stem cells right ready to turn into

things to help repair your body maybe

you want to repair your immune system

if there’s too many carbohydrates

especially when you break the fast

guess what that stem cell could turn

into

a fat cell and that’s the last type of

new cell that you want in your body

we want to reserve these stem cells for

very important

recovery and repair

tissue like your joints or your bone

marrow or your thymus gland things like

that so recently i noticed that my voice

was uh kind of cracking up kind of

becoming a little deeper

so i just started fasting immediately

just to to make sure that my immune

system had everything it needed to

recover and rejuvenate and it was great

because whatever happened in my body i

overcame it within a day and a half and

things were back to normal but the

effects of fasting on your immune system

is very very powerful i mean there are

people that have autoimmune diseases

like

serious diseases with massive

inflammation that do a prolonged fast

and pull right out of this condition and

it just goes in remission of course they

can’t say they cured it but they can say

it went into remission which basically

you kind of cured it i mean fasting

right now is even being researched

by

people that are going to do long term

travel into space they found that

fasting could potentially protect you

against solar radiation as you’re

traveling to mars

i mean it’s just mind-blowing now you

can do steamed veggies you can do

fermented vegetables which i highly

recommend i also recommend bone broth a

little kefir

an egg

but other than that

keep it really really small

if you consume a good amount of carbs

right after a prolonged fast what’s

going to also happen is you’re going to

have this

massive shift of potassium

inside the cell and out of the blood so

we’re going to remove potassium out of

the blood and you’re going to end up

with a severe

hypokalemic situation which is low

potassium in the blood

and that’s going to increase your pulse

rate you can get sick it’s actually

quite dangerous so this is called the

refeeding syndrome where you just eat

too fast especially carbohydrates

because it throws off your electrolytes

remember insulin is very very sensitive

and so insulin is going to also take on

some of these nutrients and it’s no

longer resistant so everything is a

whole different situation

all right number two mistake um doing

intense exercise or a lot of physical

work right out of the gate doing

prolonged fasting okay you don’t want to

do that your body has just been through

a lot of autophagy repair recycling

rejuvenation and you don’t want to add

that extra stress at this point so it’s

not actually beneficial to do

high level exercise when you’re

in prolonged fasting or when you come

out of prong prolonged fasting now when

you’re doing intermittent fasting

absolutely but not when you’re doing

prolonged fasting it can be very

stressful to the heart

who knows also if you have enough

electrolytes for the heart

some people don’t even take any

supplements while they’re fasting which

i disagree with so the only point is

when you’re doing prolonged fasting

let your body recover heal rejuvenate

all right number three

you don’t want to make the mistake that

i made by over eating

coming out of a prolonged fast okay

the temptation is there you haven’t

eaten for

days and now

there’s all this food and you you might

start eating and going wow i

i really miss food and i just start

getting uh wrapped up in that you don’t

want to do that because you have to

realize that the digestive system

has gone asleep all right it’s a sleep

and you have to wake it up

slowly

i mean you have all sorts of

enzymes that are not going to be ready

to help you digest

acids

bile salts

maybe even there might even be some

missing microbes i don’t know but the

point is if you overload the system and

eat too much

you can get either edema in your body or

you could get diarrhea

or get extremely nauseous and

uncomfortable

like i did so i’ve learned the hard way

you don’t want to overeat you want to

have just a small little thing

regardless of the temptation

and then wait uh several hours

and do another small thing okay and then

wait maybe five hours and then have kind

of a smaller meal but maybe a little bit

bigger and that’s it for the whole day

and then the next day have a little bit

more so you want to gradually go into

this

so it’s very very

easy

for your body

the next mistake uh is doing apple cider

vinegar coming off of a prolonged fast

in fact you don’t want to do apple cider

vinegar when you’re doing a prolonged

fast in the middle of it or at the end

of it why because you are in a very

strong

ketogenic state

and ketones are acidic

so your ph is going to be pretty acidic

so adding more apple cider vinegar can

make you more acidic

instead a better way to deal with that

is to

take some baking soda which is alkaline

and you can mix like one fourth of a

teaspoon in some water

and drink that

that will help to neutralize the acidity

okay so that would be one thing you

could do but also realize that the

vegetables will help alkalize the body

as well

all right the fifth mistake is to

instead of doing like real food

you are doing uh protein powders not

natural not good

remember protein powders usually are

low fat they’re they’re hardly any fat

and that’s going to have a greater

effect on insulin if you take a look at

the insulin index okay i have this in my

book the thing that’s the highest is

whey protein powder you want to consume

actual protein with its own fat like an

egg for example but just a very small

amount but i wanted to just create this

short video to kind of give you

some really important things to watch

out for when you do prolonged fasting

you need to do prolonged fasting because

the benefits and also you just need to

know what to break your fast with that

you’re going to be safe all right if you

haven’t seen my other video on prolonged

fasting i put it up right here check it
