 Along with keto fasting has become very popular over the recent years and some of you were upset I would even say distraught leaving crazy comments on my keto video last week and let me set something straight with you twerps just because you can't eat a loaf of bread every day and look like me doesn't mean you have you know come on let's get back to reality let's start listening to the dietitian nutritionist demigod master genius huh you know eat a loaf of bread a day still look like it shows a lot of marble come on who are you gonna listen to who you can listen to these people eating only meat that can't sleep for a week after they have a tablespoon white like come on back to reality guys back to reality so we want to differentiate fasting from intermittent fasting fasting hypothetically being several days to weeks at a time whereas intermittent fasting is an eating window and then there's even dry fasting which is kind of crazy and stupid but we'll get into that later the point is when most people talk about fasting they're actually intermittent fasting which I don't have as much of a problem with and that's actually how I eat sometimes I wouldn't even consider it the term fasting in my previous videos on fasting I basically explained that the person should achieve adequate tissue nutrient status before considering restricting caloric intake the reason most people need to fast in the first place is because their body is so deficient in certain vitamins and minerals that they have an irregular appetite eat everything in sight of poor quality food and just keep gaining weight problems of fasting are similar to the problems of the keto diet it slows down the body's ability to remove toxins and in most cases promotes the reabsorption of toxins you can check out that video on keto last week and keto is a bit worse because it promotes the hyper release and hyper absorption of toxins from the liver in the case of fasting your liver will still be releasing toxins negative things in the digestive system but since you're not eating any food the toxins will kind of just sit there and quickly be reabsorbed into the bloodstream maybe some of them will get excreted and then those toxins are just going right back into the liver or the other organs as far as I know most people's bodies are so polluted from the toxins in our environment food water air that the removal of them from the body should be the top priority which fasting isn't effective for and it's not like you know at some point in time you just stop removing toxins and you're finished no unless you move to an article where they're eating like Wagyu whale meat or something the modern environment is full of toxins so it's a constant need to detox there's no point in time where you should really consider fasting and yeah it's not as damaging to your liver as keto or carnivore but it will certainly slow your health progress so if you're fasting for more than 24 hours 48 72 a week or two week fast you really need to reevaluate and at least try the type of diet I've been following before thinking that fasting is your end all be all solution and guys I have fasted extensively in the past just like I've done the carnivore diet and I've done everything a lot of you guys are still following I remember when I was going to Hunter College in the city I was on like day 13 of my two-week fast longest I've ever fasted I could barely walk down the street I felt like I was about to collapse got in my car drove home and done and ate something and then a few days I regained my strength but never again I usually fasted one or two days out of the week I usually didn't do the long stuff that often intermittent fasting on the other hand is more reasonable it's eating on a timed schedule whether that's eight hours of eating with six hours of fasting or more restrictive like oh mad one meal per day still not the best for liver detox and health ideal you want something consistently in your stomach to be pushing out toxins that means two large meals per day or three medium-sized meals per day I noticed when I delay my first meal too long I don't really feel well I typically get headaches and I definitely cannot sleep it's fine to go four five six hours without eating in the morning that's what I do but I would say the latest you want to eat is one or 2 p.m. and then have another meal at night before you go to bed when you only have one meal per day the gut motility is reduced and toxins aren't expelled as quickly as possible but it's not nearly as bad as fasting for days at a time and if you're actually pretty healthy and not in too bad of a position you know to start your health journey then you can probably do oh mad the entire duration it's just you know with the degree of liver damage I had and how sick the carnival diet made me it was one of those things that had to be adjusted and critiqued to optimize the liver detox organ health cellular health now I've never been a fan of drive-fasting I've been very vocal against it although I haven't brought it up a lot crazy crazy crazy thing to do you're going against your body's natural thirst instinct is just it's just stupid I mean I can really go a day two or three without getting super hungry but what you have to listen to your body guys removing the food particularly carbohydrates the starches the sugars the fiber that toxins from your liver can soak into is already a bad idea and yet so many people are removing carbohydrates and there are also toxins and negative things expelled from the body in the urine and being hydrated is incredibly important for keeping your detox pathways moving if you're not hydrated even if you are eating food to detox your liver you might stop the gut motility completely because your body needs more water to push that food through the digestive system and the only reason I see someone benefiting from this is if they were drinking poor quality water and yet most people don't know those intricacies you know specifics on what to drink what's so bad about it my mom for instance never really wanted to drink water which is really bad because she's a double kidney transplant patient and needs to keep her system moving only in the past year when I got her drinking glass bottle mineral water she actually started drinking it her body wanted it went from barely sipping on water throughout the day she would get sick from just taking a sip out of the filtered tap water to downing a whole case of fugey water I think she's drinking like a gallon per day now overall fasting is not needed aka not beneficial whatsoever on a proper diet if you're eating high quality organic food your source of water is clean everything's free of toxins you don't need to perform any sort of crazy cleansing or fasting because those foods are restoring your cellular health and removing the negatives out of the body yeah if you want to stand in American diet drinking tap water you probably do feel better fasting even dry fasting as you stopped poisoning yourself temporarily but if these people lose weight all they will do is release those toxins from the fat and concentrate them in the organs almost as badly as those that follow the keto diet instead of fasting if you want some similar benefits you can restrict your portion size maybe do OMAD with medium-sized meals you know I'll sit down and eat as much steak rice and beans as I want but you know reducing the amount for a few days or weeks maybe just skipping dinner one night resets my appetite take some stress off the digestive system and you know even a one or two day fast isn't that bad but listen to your body guys if you're getting headaches if you can't sleep insomnia those are going to be way more damaged to your body than the benefits of fasting will kind of take over so thank you guys for joining me I wonder if the fasting dick writers are as but hurt
