1. Why did I turn yellow and feel unwell at the end of a 7-day fast?
Dear Jimmy and Megan,

I recently completed my first 7-day fast and I felt GREAT with tons of energy. I would have continued, but I literally turned yellow and looked desiccated, haggard and unwell. I’ve completed a number of 4-5 day fasts in the past with much less of a problem than anything like this. Have you run across this in the IDM clinic and should I push through and hope it will this improve with time? I don’t have diabetes or any other underlying medical problems.

Thanks!

Elizabeth

2. Does fasting raise blood pressure levels?

Hi guys,

For the last month, I have been doing the 5:2 version of fasting as a warm-up for some of the protocols you set out in your fasting book. I’m 46, not diabetic but I am overweight with a BMI of 28, and I’m hoping fasting will prevent the development of Type 2 diabetes, lead to weight loss, and re-calibrate my eating habits. So far I’ve lost 4 pounds, my clothes are looser, and I no longer feel polluted inside. Fasting days are not always easy, especially in this cold northern England climate, but I still look forward to them!

I have recently started having significantly higher blood pressure readings than usual (138/75 upon waking). I’m not completely sure why this is happening, but I did recently complete a course of prednisone for asthma and a chest infection. I also have a busy job with two lively young children. Enough said, right? But I have heard from people on a 5:2 fasting forum that fasting itself may have caused my elevated blood pressure.

Is it true that fasting leads to an increase in blood pressure levels? Thank you for the book and the podcast. I’ve learned so much from both and use them to inspire me when fasting gets hard.

3. Is there a difference between drinking distilled water and filtered water when you are on a water fast?

Hey guys,

What’s the difference between drinking distilled water vs. filtered water on a water-only fast? Is there any benefit to using one over the other?

Thanks for your help!

4. Should I be concerned about my appetite dropping on feasting days to match my fasting days during an intermittent fast?

Hi Jimmy and Megan,

I love listening to Fasting Talk and I have a question for you guys. I’ve just started alternate day fasting and I’m fasting on 500 calories (M, W and F) and then eating normally the other 4 days. It’s going pretty well for me so far, but I’m finding that on the “normal eating” days my appetite has reduced a fair bit and I’m not wanting to eat the same amount as I did prior to beginning alternate day fasting. My concern is if I reduce the amount of food I eat to fit with my lowering appetite levels that it will begin to creep downward to where it is on my non-fasting days. Am I at risk for slowing down my metabolism doing this? As someone who has spent most of her life as a yo-yo dieter, I’m really worried about rebound weight gain from doing this.

Can you offer any tips on what I can do to prevent this from happening? I am loving alternate day fasting and really getting into the groove with it. Help me optimize the results I’ll get from it. Thanks for this great podcast…it’s at the top of my listening list!

5. Do the watery stools/diarrhea that can happen during and after a fast be an indication of and come from gut bacteria dying off?

Hi Jimmy and Megan,

I am one of those people who ends up with watery stools during and after I break a fast. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about why. I know Jimmy mentioned that he was also puzzled as to what is coming out when nothing is going in during an extended fast. Is it possible that some of the bowel bacteria (which I understand make up a good deal of stool) are dying from not being fed? And since they are dead, they are eliminated from the body while extended fasting? It certainly smells like something died in there. I also wonder whether some of the health improvements of fasting occur because of the elimination of carb-loving bacteria and replacing them with the ones that survive better while fasting. I imagine those are the bacteria that would have thrived inside our ancient ancestors who regularly fasted.
Is there any merit to my theory? Thanks for the new podcast, I never miss it!

TESTIMONY:

Hey Megan,

I just wanted to tell you how your advice to switch it up is working for me. I'm on my second time through a 6 day cycle of 3 days fasting followed by 3 days feasting. Before I started, I was eating keto to satiety and slowly gaining weight. I was eating a lot at night, eating lots of macadamias, and drinking wine. So, I was primed for a change. My first day of a 3-day fast started with keto coffee (lots of coconut oil and a pinch of cayenne). Midday I had a mug of bone broth with a Tbsp of butter melted in it. At night I went right for salt-water with a dash of Chipotle chili pepper powder. I use Morton lite-salt so I can get some Potassium. On the second and third days of the fast I only drank black coffee and my hot salt-water concoction. At the end of the 3-day fast my fingers were getting cold but I had lost 7 pounds.

I broke the fast with a handful of nuts and then a big meal after about 30 minutes. I feasted for 3 days eating 2 meals a day within a 6-hour window for an 18-hour intermittent fast. I know I overate a couple times with plenty of butter and macadamia nuts for lots of fat—lots. I was poaching burgers in butter, eating rib eye steaks, fried fish with keto breading, and an entire jar of tartar sauce. Still, I didn't gain an ounce in the 3 days that I feasted. Yesterday was my first day back to fasting. I started the day with keto coffee again, and my salt-water concoction with 1 tbsp of butter, and a couple more of those without the butter later in the day. This morning I had lost another 3 pounds. So, that's 10 pounds in 7 days—the most weight I've ever lost in a week. Ever. Also, last night my blood sugar was the lowest I've ever recorded it at 66.

The first day of fasting is challenging, even the second time around. Last night I was dreaming of fast food. But, I got over it, and it was smooth sailing again here on Day 2. This pattern seems to really be working for me and I plan to continue on this path until it stops working. Thanks for the great advice. You guys are awesome.

Carl

HOT TOPIC: Fasting: Worried about messing up metabolism by “doing it wrong”

1. Does eating a small amount of food in the middle of an extended fast impact my insulin levels and fasting efforts?

Hey Jimmy and Megan,

I love The Complete Guide to Fasting and have learned so much from it and your Fasting Talk podcast. I have a question for you guys. I started my fast on Thursday at 7:30pm and went until 11:30pm Saturday temporarily breaking the fast with 1 Tbs of natural peanut butter and a few bites of brussels sprouts. Then I decided to fast all day Sunday throughTuesday at 7:30 PM. All in all, it was a total of five days with that little bit of food. What if anything did that food break do to my insulin levels and fasting efforts? I have three small children and can’t check my insulin levels, so any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,

Brieanne

2. Can someone with bulimia or binge eating disorder engage in fasting? Would this be beneficial or detrimental towards their efforts of overcoming it?

Dear Jimmy and Megan,

I have read your book on fasting and it was so full of great knowledge that I am grateful for. I am currently breastfeeding, so I am not fasting right now. But I am looking forward to start fasting soon. In your book I took notice of how people with eating disorders, specifically anorexia, shouldn't be fasting and this makes a lot sense. But what about people who have bulimia and binge eating disorder? Should they also steer clear of fasting? Are there any physical or hormonal benefits to be gained for someone like this to start fasting or will this simply perpetuate the binging behavior.

Thanks for this podcast and for your amazing work!

3. Is Diurnal Fasting with no food or beverages during daylight hours a viable option for fasting?

Can you guys talk about the health effects of what is known as Diurnal Fasting where you engage in complete abstinence from food and beverages during daylight hours? Is this a good way to fast and are there any potential downfalls to doing it this way as compared to what you teach in the IDM clinic?

Thank you,

Catherine

4. How will I know when I am fat-adapted enough to push my fasting periods beyond intermittent fasting?

I have been doing some form of LCHF/keto since August 2016 and have lost 30 pounds. I've been following the mantra to only eat when I’m hungry which is how I started unintentionally intermittent fasting. Most days I end up doing 18:6 but just can't get past 20 hours. I hear people say to get fully fat-adapted before trying longer fasting, so how will I know when I am there?

Thanks in advance,

Danielle

SPECIAL GUEST PATIENT: Angel Ramos (aka Mr. Megan Ramos!)

I grew up in Orlando and ate a typical diet throughout the first 25 years of my life. I did cut out soda/pop in my teens and noticed that I lost some weight without any change to my physical activity but I was still overweight with a poor body composition. I stayed up late, ate crap junk food and drank in university and grad school. My weight peaked while on holiday in Germany as a graduation trip, 235 pounds at 6'2". I noticed new stretch marks, a marked drop in my energy levels and my clothes were tight! I was starting to get concerned about my future health and what could happen given my family medical history of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, and Alzheimer's.

I'm a scientist and I enjoy researching, so I went to work. With the limited nutritional knowledge I had and novice workout experience, I started reading various sources online. There are some great fitness subreddits that really helped me to understand what I needed to do. I started tracking my calories, lowered my fat intake, upped the protein and began a weight training and cardio regiment. After about 9 months of exercise and diet, my weight was about 220 pounds and I was significantly stronger in the gym, but I still had plenty of fat.

This is where my story changes, I met Megan Christie (Ramos). After we had been dating for a few months, treating every trip to see each other as a vacation and eating junk, Megan explained the IDM program to me in detail and I was blown away. I began to see that by eating tons of processed/refined carbohydrates, I was only hurting myself.

I also began fasting when I started eating an LCHF diet. Our cavemen ancestors certainly didn't get lucky and have a feast every day, so why do I need 3 square meals a day. I started out doing 24-hour fasts from dinner to dinner and was quickly surprised that it was much easier than I thought. After about a week, my body wasn't angry at me if at 1 pm I haven't eaten anything. I began to see weight fall off over the course of a few months. I had to buy almost an entirely new wardrobe because none of my clothes fit.

I'm proud to say that I've lost 70 pounds and now weigh about 165 pounds.

Here’s what Jimmy, Megan, and Angel talked about in Episode 11:

1. Can anyone doing an intermittent or alternate day fast enjoy a glass or two of wine?

Hello Jimmy and Megan,

I watched Dr. Jason Fung's fantastic presentation to colleagues on YouTube where he shared about a patient who managed to still enjoy a couple glasses of wine while fasting and had amazing success. I love the idea of flexibility while fasting, but at what point does a patient impede or derail their success with something like a glass or two of wine? Was he the exception or is wine with dinner allowed to be incorporated into a successful intermittent fasting or alternate daily fasting program if you track the carbs in them?

Thank you for this show, I am really enjoying it!

Maryann

KEY QUOTE: “Take a little bit of fat for the first few days of a fast. The extra fat takes extra energy to burn and warms you up.” – Megan Ramos

2. How do I deal with cold extremities that come when I start extended fasting?

Hey guys,

I’m a 68-year old woman who has had a total hysterectomy, had my gallbladder removed in my early twenties, and am hypothyroid taking Synthroid. I do quite well fasting from 4-6 days. My question is what happens to me beginning on the first day of an extended fast—my hands and feet become extremely cold. It can't be from a lack of salt because this starts to happen right away in Day 1 of fasting. I tried consuming some homemade bone broth with salt, but it hasn’t helped.

Any help would be appreciated,

Ruth

3. Is there any reason not to fast if you are attempting to get pregnant?

Hey guys! Love The Complete Guide To Fasting and the Fasting Talk podcast. I've been doing 24-hour fasts, four days a week for weight loss. I've lost 10 pounds and have about 10 more to go. My boyfriend and I are trying to get pregnant and I was wondering if engaging in fasting while trying to get pregnant is safe.

Thanks for your insights!

4. How do you control the increase in cortisol that comes from fasting from being a detriment to weight loss?

Hi guys,

How do you make sure your fasting routine isn’t being a stress on your body so that you do not have an increase in cortisol which would shut down weight loss?

Thanks,

Mary

5. Will I experience the energy and performance benefits of exercise while fasting?

I run-bike-swim several miles a week. I plan on fasting on Mondays and Thursdays (for 36 hours) and wonder if I will have the energy I need to get through the workouts?

Alan

AND

Love your new podcast. My question is about fasting and exercise. I currently practice intermittent fasting but wanted to try an extended fast. I lift weights four days a week and cycle around 80 miles as well. I wanted to know what effect fasting would have on my performance and weight loss/muscle gain? Would long lasting fasts be effective for someone like me?

Regards,

Cesare
