Fasting And Exercise

[IDMWEIGHTSIDM]

i fast once a week from 10 to 10 i play skyrim it makes the time go faster lol

[princess4787]

LOVE IT THANK YOU SO MUCH BRADPILON EVEN PPL IN THE BIBLE FAST IT HELPS CLEAN THE BODY ALSO I WILL BE USING BOTH(WORKING OUT AND FASTING) I FOUND THIS VERY HELP FUL AND POSITIVE

[gledalac1979]

just did a complete 4 day fast which is a record for me and had no trouble doing sprints and pushups. I definitely lost fat and gained muscle which I forgot I had. The key to fasting is to be outside preferably in the woods and away from any smell of food. Being stuck inside is just not going to do it. I wanted to go for 5 days but terrible weather impacted me negativelly and I stayed inside and succumbed to food

[YoungDrivenForDreams]

Im trying it ancestor status! haha everything goes back to your ancestors health wise ! everything they used was from earth naturally .. an they didn't always have food , when your body doesn't have food it takes your body fat to burn as energy !

[Crotobolomyst]

ive had this habit since i was a kid because of my parents and if theres a way to show it I will that i had a 6 pack since i was 12. my dad always used to tell me that it was better to go to my soccer games with my stomach empty so i could be more awake. since i was a kid ive preferred to excercise on an empty stomach

maybe yeah were all different but maybe if you make your body to get used to it you could see changes dont you think its better to be used to function on little food?just an opinio

[healthyhappy1234]

Thanks for sharing this video. What amazes me is that muslims fats once a month every year and have been doing this for over 1400 years, its nice to c that science and nutrition have finally seen the benefits of fasting. thank u again for the video.

[pinz2022]

@healthyhappy1234

The Ramadan fast is a fracking joke! Everybody GAINS weight during Ramadan AND suffers indigestion because they pig out and stuff themselves at the Iftar dinner. The no-water restriction is brutal torture (for those who actually observe it) especially in a hot climate so basically nothing much gets done in the entire Muslim world for that whole month!

[Kravera911]

i've bought the book but i have a question! is it ok for my muscles to fast from friday night till monday morning (it's easier for me) and when i train on fasted state how do muscles recover from nothing (no protein)? THANKS!

[Moeggggggggggggggggg]

So that's how I get so much energy when I'm fasting

[JackHu1000]

Hi Brad, can you tell me how much your Metabolism will be boosted when you fast for 24 hours? Thank you

[Joynalm123]

Too all the people who think you can drink water while fasting... YOU CAN'T, IT WILL BREAK YOUR FAST, You shouldn't be drinking or eating ANYTHING while fasting.

[monumentfloyd]

@Joynalm123 that depends on what type of fast you are doing. A fast can be as simple as refraining from eating a particular food or group of foods for a week, not necessarily a hunger strike.

[movielova96]

I did not get a word of what you said :|

In simple words do you mean it's better to exercise when fasting because you will not gain weight?

I fast from 5 in the morning till 8:30pm. Please reply back asap! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shahidafridiful]

hey dude i exercise daily for 45 mins as a routine my age 16 weight 59 kgs. is it okay to exercise daily????

[BlackYoshi2]

What happens if you do both at the same time?

[coatlicue2012]

What about energy levels during fasting and trying to workout? I find that I have to strip down at least 20% of the my regular workload in order to complete all sets and reps in my workout program, is this okay? For example if my I usually bench 5 sets of 8-10 reps with 225 lbs. I typically only have enough energy, when fasting, to use 180 - 185 pounds. Is this normal?

[abcwritestartreadlk]

Fasting has helped me maintain good blood sugar, beautiful skin, and cleared up all allergies, so long as I keep fasting and keep exercising with a great diet - juicing and vegan....

[skatas976]

is it safe to fast for 4-5 days, while exercising? is there a possibility to lose muscle instead of bodyfat?

[Seantorky3]

do you recomend hgh supplements?

[FLATFEET3]

yo b raise the cam next time..great vid cuz

[MuscleCut]

Lol Allah said that in the Quran thousands of years ago.... But in other way ... When do u guys are gonna wake up ????!!!!!

[behemoth969]

brad, can i fast during a steroid cycle???

[Mrquinton7]

brad, would please say "Im super cereal" in one of your vids?

[delacerdaa]

@Mrquinton7 LOL dude c`mon LOL

[dabeaner12345]

@cmk1964  im wondering the same thing

[SuperMemrme]

I fasted 2 days lost fat yes but also muscle 0,5 cm on each arm before i could benchpress 85 kg 5 times 2 set now i can not even bechpress 85 kg one rep fasting i think not that good idea if you want to keep your strengh and musclemass

[behemoth969]

brad, so if i start to fast at 6pm tuesday does that mean i should workout at like 4pm wednesday for maximum results given that HGH are at its highest?

And how many kcal minimum every day including fasting days to not loose muscle(i weight 165pounds)

[TheSleepingMoth]

at the 0:06 mark I realised swiftly that this video was going to consist of a guy with a speech impediment, which I have no care in the world to put forth an effort for to listen to all 3 minutes of so I clicked the hell off.

Thumbs up if you did too!

[adityajuneja7]

ok so what about your testosterone levels?

up or down?

[pvtjamesryan3]

I feel much dumber after watching this video.

Brad, go fuck yourself!

[IDMWEIGHTSIDM]

im training to gain muscle, would eat stop eat be advisable for me? im thinking of giving it a go after watching almost all your videos.

[astralflower11]

I Love this! Thank you Brad

[phester061594452]

1:45 Wait, what did he say?

[frosted1030]

Just because this guy says it, does not mean it's true. Most people fast for around 7 to 9 hours every day, even the fattest person sleeps, often fat people sleep more, you know how you feel in the morning, you can't sleep your self thin in the same way you can not think your way thin. This man is not a doctor, he is pushing a book. Please flag as spam.

[leonidasargidi]

@frosted1030 Eat Stop Eat is an 18 - 24 hour fast. It is backed up with a ton of medical research - Pilon, BTW, has a degree in applied human nutrition. Go talk shit somewhere else.

[frosted1030]

@leonidasargidi BS, this is an ad for a diet fad. Like all the others, it works very short term. If it worked, it would be written up in JAMA and everyone would be using it. Doctors do not recommend fad diets unless they are getting kickbacks. Flag as spam.

[wackpdot1]

@frosted1030 doctors have no real interest in curing disease, just treating, they are business."Galen, Paracelsus and Hippocrates, who are recognized as the founding fathers of Western medicine, prescribed and practiced fasting for all serious ailments." Even animals fast when sick.

[frosted1030]

@wackpdot1 Clearly you are lacking in basic education. I will make it simple for you: eat when you are hungry. If you don't, you will have problems. Consult your doctor about that psychological problem you have in understanding how medicine works. Maybe they can provide you with factual references to explore.

[wackpdot1]

@frosted1030 lmao replying with an insult, clearly u have never fasted, yet you speak confidently. Do me a favor and stfu about things you have never done,thx.

[frosted1030]

@wackpdot1 Again, you need some basic education. By your logic, chopping off your finger to cure a cold might work, how do you know unless you have tried it? Consult your doctor before you hand out stupid advice.

[wackpdot1]

@frosted1030 If you have million's of people throughout history who chopped of fingers to cure cancer or heal a disease ,who wouldn't take a look? "consult your doctor" before they pump you full of poison and call it a treatment. Before you talk about doctors why don't you look at the research. Once again, don't speak as an expert about topics you have no clue about, i'm sure your doctor would agree.

[frosted1030]

@wackpdot1 I give up, you win, there is no way to educate the fervently idiotic. If you think your doctor is pumping you full of poison, than I look forward to your receipt of a Darwin award.

[LeonardoNasir]

@mojitobanana the one and only way that you could gain weight after your 10-day fast is if you eat so much that you start to undo the progress you made with the fast. The trick is to start eating again normally, without overeating. And anyway once you complete a 10-day fast, when you finally eat on day 11 you won't be able to fit anything more than an apple into your stomach. Don't try to overeat after a long fast, you will only end up vomitting (trust me).

[LeonardoNasir]

@lhsfootball978 fasting means zero calories. It doesn't just mean not chewing on something (food). If you consume a drink that has 30 calories, then you are no longer fasted. The whole point of fasting is avoiding calories, not physical food.

[nels7118]

When you say put them (fasting & working out) together do you mean on the same day or on your eat days?

[bolio1981]

wait are you trying to tell me if I fast periodically and exercise I will lose weight and look good, wow thanks!!!!

[TrueGreatness73]

I am proof that this works. I have been researching on Fasting and working out for a while. Just make sure you dont have any medical conditions before the fast and if you, make sure to research it to see if its healthy. I would recommend people to do their own research instead of asking a doctor. Health industry are very evil scum bags.

[annemette1989]

seems like this could encourage eating disorders.. please be careful

[FilthyRichLikeMe]

Remember do as they do not as they say...If someone is giving advice and is fat themselfs they have no idea what they are talking about..facts are obvious and can be seen proof..studies are only words and humans can manipulate words. I love fasting and it works period! and I don't lose muscle mass period. and I don't care what science says because I have the body to back it up.

[miscuser69]

That's a good looking beard man.... No homo :)

[Bingo22uk]

norin-eppin-nef-neffer-reppin.­....wut?

[misskittcouture]

@Bingo22uk lmao

[ss4vegeta1]

What about cortisol, gluconeogenesis and muscle catabolism?

[FilthyRichLikeMe]

@ss4vegeta1

its very simple cortisol does not waste muscle tissue or make u fat anything close to what the public wants you to believe .look at fighters bodies.these guys do battle with each other and think about how their opponent wants to crush their skull in for months every day 24 hours a day b4 the match.if cortisol makes u look like garbage then these ppl would have the worst bodies. and cops and firefighters and millitary. there is a big diff between talk and facts. use ur eyes not ears

[Snoboxx2323]

Your a sexy man :]

[latocona]

I usually swim 2,000 mts. 3 times a week and want to fast for a week drinking coconut water. Can I keep swimming as vigorous as I do or should I slow down while i fast?

Thanks much

[lakayna]

STOP THE EXERCISE if you just want to loss weight, do what i did. It just migth work for you too. but check with ur DOCTOR FIRST. ~~~ weigh ur self FIRST buy a protien shake 5lb (BIG SAVINGS) make 5 shakes to drink for the whole day (Every 2-4 hr) . IN THE BLENDER ARE : 1 water or juice or milk 2 yogurt -LOTS 3 banana or fruits 4 5 scoop of protien - for 5 servings now ur body will react to this change so dont be surprise, do this for a month then weigh your self AGAIN -YOUR WELCOME

[trihian]

Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset (one cannot consume water or food). This is for 30 days. I usually run 2 mles during the daytime and come home to also do a timed pushup workout. I would appreciate it if you could tell me pros and cons and tips. Thanks!

[ToxicXavier]

dam so basically theirs no negative side to it either.sweeeet my journey beggins tday...thnxs i was looking for this exact kind of vid and u had it

[veganrexia]

Ohh..i forgot to say..something I REALLY love about fasting is not having to cook or wash-up for a whole day LOL

[veganrexia]

Hey, I started doing eat stop eat about 6 weeks ago. At first, I got dizzy and felt sick when i was training, but now I love it! I feel sharper and more concentrated. I am also starting to see a BIG difference in my body composition. Its like I can actually feel my body burning fat during the workout, and after, my metabolism is sky high for hours! Thanks Brad!! XD Your eating/training plan is the best for natural athletes!

[ahmednabil]

you just answered aquestion i've been asking ppl for a week , no one gives a clear answer on that one .

im starting 2 dayf from now a day fast , im an athlete , can i continue training with same intensity ? and just take more water ?

[Haggs420]

Brad, are you recomending this to people that are trying to loose weight only? Your response to "hellokatter" said it wouldn't make much difference even though they were speaking about weight training. I can't see how the fasting stage would help increase muscle mass/endurance since you are not providing the nutrients needed for muscles to repair themselves during a fasting state. If ones goal is to loose weight I can accept this though I still believe eating is better than fasting. (continued)

[dinagape]

i love u

[jerrymclos]

MarauderRaine perhapse u need to eat a bit less cuz ones ur used to eating alot u'll get hungry every like 2 hours and its annoying cuz exercise will become an agany.. wat u shud do is eat till ur satisfied not till ur full and only eat untill ur slightly feeling hungry thats the most healthiest way cuz u shud give ur stomach and intestines a lil rest thats the whole point of fasting !!

[wavepsychic]

I LOVE YOU!

[SamySantana]

Should one combine a fasting day with exercising or fast one day and exercise the next?

[cirosuperiore]

you r finally making sense...dont focus on the GH it is the insulin level that determines all factors of your health and ability...low insuling levels are always the best except when you have to eat...that's why you should eat at night as in the WARRIOR DIET. insulin up, vitality is low, but you

r asleep so who cares...

[iamadumpling]

I LOVE YOUR SWEATER ITS CUTE!~erica

[toddcasse]

What if you're under 25 and want to continue growing (height wise)? Will fasting stunt growth?

[Xeno867]

Hmm...makes me think of boxers who don't really eat much and workout so much to drop weight fast, in time to pass their weight ins before a match.

[dpiddy022]

they also do spit buckets and sweat out weight which is pure water weight, they're actually dehydrated, so it's not really the same

[cmk1964]

Don't worry about answering, question answered at the end.

[cmk1964]

Does that mean that if one fasts and exercises, that the benefits will be greater?

[alastair78]

Strong sweater

[breakoutworkout]

Great informative vid Brad!

[auburn722]

pretty interesting man thanks

[billoakesattablthree]

a few years ago a friend of mine fasted , only taking water in for sixty days. He went from 320 down to 170 at a height at 6'. He has kept the weight off and is in great shape. He lives a healthy lifestyle i.e. no cigs , few starches,..... . AT the end of his fast he started working out with no problem. Pound for pound he is one of the strongest men I know. Before he was not that strong. It appears the fast strengthened him not weaken him - I was there as an observer throughout the fast.

[EndDepravity]

@billoakesattablthree What? No food for sixty days how did he not die?

[dicostu]

@billoakesattablthree woah thats crazy! Its a stupid question, but was he hungry the whole time? I dont know much about fasting but I would think its hard to control the urge to eat.

[MountainQueen]

@billoakesattablthree hey about your friend's fast, do you know if he exercised on his fast? I'm on my 7th day of fasting and have exercised for the last two days, mostly stretching, bodyweight exercises, walking and mini trampoline, really not much at all though as I want to conserve energy. I am worried however that my muscles will waste quicker during my fast if I exercise. If your friend did exercise, how did it effect him during the fast?

[PsychopathInFoil]

@MountainQueen I recommend you look at LeanGains to get an idea of exercising and fasting. The guy who came up with the program suggests that you fast and then you exercise right before you break your fast. Like, follow Brad's eat stop eat program here for 24 hours, but in the last hour of the fast you engage in vigirous physical activity so that when you're done exercising you will then break your 24 hour fast to give your muscles protein and other nutrients. Excelent way to burn fat fast.

[TheSleepingMoth]

@billoakesattablthree I think that is absolute horse shit. To say your "friend" fasted for 2 months taking in only water is such a bunch of shit. He literally ate no food? Trust me he would NOT be stronger after 2 months of no food. He would be chronically deficient in so many areas of nutrition it would take 6 months to restore his health, let alone to start working out. Unless you have proof, I call BS.

[billoakesattablthree]

@TheSleepingMoth Normaly I would not be rude unless spoken rudely to. This response is a coin toss on how to answere. I will begin and end with this response , you need to learn to read and with a critical eye. Never ever did I say he came out stronger after 2months of fasting - I said he started working out after 2months of fasting and became very strong pound for pound. When he started his fast he was in his 20s with no health issues , though overweight. He went from 320lbs down to 190lbs.

[TheSleepingMoth]

@billoakesattablthree bullfucking shit man, I JUST HEARD YOU say that he came back stronger....what man in their sane mind would fast for 2 months??? Are you mental? Do you have mental issues? Do you understand that some teenagers are watching this and because of you will start starving themselves? As an adult you better start taking responsibility for what you are saying. Fair enough he lost weight, but WTF man, why not eat healthy, limit your carbs and do a mix of weight training and cardio??

[talusan909]

Awesome. Awakening info.

Thanks

[86371queen]

Thanks for the information.

[slashsnakeprick]

i love bodybuilding, i always train everyday. My problem is i always do my fasting on 1pm till tomorrow 1pm, but i do my workout on 7pm (on first day), can i growth? coz i some people said, i must eat after exercise

[MarauderRaine]

You need calories to burn, otherwise, it's useless exercising.

Stick with either one. You can't do both.

[wccrispy]

@MarauderRaine Calories (energy) are taken from the fat stores in your body which means you CAN do both.

[MarauderRaine]

Yeah, but there's some fat that your body needs to hold on to, otherwise it goes into an emergency mode. You'll feel weak and tired if you do exercise, 'cause your body is acting like it'll never eat again, and it doesn't want to lose the fat. I definitely wouldn't chose to exercise while fasting.

[lhsfootball978]

i take a supplement called xtend its bcaa and glutamine its a drink can i drink it while im fasting

[DixieBucket]

fasting is about not eating. if you have anything other than water, you're not fasting.

[lhsfootball978]

ok is not food its just a drink and t like 30 cals retard

[DixieBucket]

If you take in any calories it is no longer really fasting. In those terms anything other than water is food. I wasn't trying to offend you know you, I was just trying to help.

[POLEEZE]

another difference is that,exercise increases strength,fasting doesn't

[MarauderRaine]

Excercise also increases endurance and keeps you fit.

But you should have a balance of both in your life, you know.

During fasting, you let your colon and stomach get a bit of rest, in a way.

[fayetress]

THANK YOU...how many people live in fear about fasting...all creatures fast..that is what happens between each feeding. This is the opposite information that is going around right now...seems people are more afraid of going without food than they are of letting their bodies recover...rest and digest are important cycles. Fasting is also the best way to heal, I am going to do the ESE method. Thanks for the awesome info

[ofeliay1]

I wonder if you red "The miracle of fasting" by Dr. Paul Bragg. Basically, this is how he lived his life. He had many followers all over the world in the 70's and 80's. l hope you can convince some people that fasting does wonders, not only for weight lose but energy levels go high and you feel great. This is the way we should all be living.

[TheFrequency2]

this video makes me want a sandwich

[jessijordanmusic]

Absolutely fascinating!!! Thank you for sharing this!

[roxroi]

BRAD!!!

awesome information. thank you.

Roxana Hannah

[bradpilon]

The intensity varies, but for most research trials they use ten minutes of running or biking. So imagine running at a pace that you could only maintain for about ten minutes.

B

[bradpilon]

Genlawood,

Yeah, I've been known to butcher more than a few words in the English language. Nothing better than mumbling with a Canadian accent!

B

[geniawood]

I like the way you say "similarily"

[mojitobanana]

what about longterm fasting, like 10 days? does this affect your metabolism?

I want to do this to get rid of waste and toxins, but afraid to gain weight after it. Since fat retains toxins, you know.

[bradpilon]

My Expertise if really only in short term fasting, up to about 72 hours.

[alizaya5426]

BRAD YOUR A HOTTIE whatever you are doing keep it up.

[bradpilon]

Best comment yet;)

[FitnessDreamMaker]

Hey Brad, I love the way you always come up with the simple, in-the-back-door twist on things!

Lani

[bradpilon]

Thanks Lani

[Coppulor]

@FitnessDreamMaker

in-the-back-door??  I like the sound of that! Count me in!! when do we start?

[RelativeStrengthFit]

Brad, thanks for the vid. I used it as a great illustration in a blog post.

[hellokatter]

Hey Brad , so i work out weights 3 times per week should i fast on those days for 24 hours and then the next day get back to eating normally 5-6 meals a day etc ?

[bradpilon]

It probably wont make much of a difference so I would do what feels best for you.

The better the workout, the better the results.

B

[bradpilon]

Hi Pirata,

It's not in the book yet, it really just dawned on me a couple of days ago...

B

[marydaz]

I agree with funkinatrix--my workouts on a totally empty stomach are better, both in how I feel and how I perform. It feels silly now to think it necessary to eat a protein bar or something before going to the gym.

[funkinatrix]

thanks for the info brad. i'm finding my (intense) workouts unhindered by fasting. in fact, i like working out on a totally empty stomach, its very comfortable. no energy bonks at all.

every other day fasting not really working for me.. i'm fasting every day until 2 or 3, and then doing one or two longer ones a week. really loving it so far!

[bradpilon]

Hi Pirata,

The best part is you don't have to do them at the same time! you can get the benefits from both by doing each a couple times during the week.

You don't need to be fasted while exercising. It doesn't hurt, but it's not needed.

BP

[pirata13]

hey brad! great video! didn't know how similar exercising and fasting are. however it seems pretty hard to do both at the same time ^^ do you talk about this in your book?

keep it up with the videos!
