Thank you Mr Mattson. 2.2K Reply 34 replies Edith Emerson Edith Emerson 3 years ago Keto, Fasting and walking has changed my life. At 55 I feel better then I have in years. Listen to this man, You will live longer and feel better. 593 Reply 16 replies Pascal Aschwanden Pascal Aschwanden 6 years ago Great presentation! Fasting boosts clarity of mind and makes you so much more fasted. Whenever I go on a 3 or 4 day fast, skipping breakfast and lunch, I feel so much better overall, though the first day is tough due to the hunger. You gotta stick with it for a few days, then you'll feel better. It helps by resetting your hunger levels. 291 Reply 13 replies SP Kelly SP Kelly 3 years ago I have got into a weekly routine of fasting, last meal Sunday dinner until Monday dinner, only water for 23 hrs, I feel great and recommend it. I also take a cold shower for 30 seconds after a 3 minute hot one, it's so invigorating even in the depths of winter and people say I'm looking younger. I'm 82. 178 Reply 7 replies Bernard Barbour Bernard Barbour 2 years ago Just wowed.!!! Thank you Doctor Mattson. I'm 60 years old and I have abs, lol. I've been fasting, and during that time, I swim, cycle, spend an hour or two in the gym and it's all paying off. A true lifestyle change, you're preaching the gospel. I went in for my annual physical and my Doctor didn't recognize me in the lobby. All of my numbers, blood pressure, cholesterol, A!C etc. are great. Sharing, and subscribed. 62 Reply Frank Kolton Frank Kolton 2 years ago An intelligent presentation without hype or sounding like a sales pitchman. He speaks to us as a adults. 13 Reply Sandra Carli Sandra Carli 7 years ago I fasted for 5 days drinking only warm water 10 years ago and felt that my brain started working much more clearly. I became also very sensitive, my intuition got incredibly strong. 701 Reply 61 replies Heater64k Heater64k 1 year ago I've been fasting for several years now (1 meal a day) and I gotta say that's it's one of the best things you will ever pick up in your life. It creates a complete mind and body clarity that boosts all systems within. I know firsthand from this and plan on (without question) continuing with it for my entire life. I recommend all to try and do so. 20 Reply dyaflyingful dyaflyingful 3 years ago (edited) Great video. Thank you sir :). I’ve done the 16/8 fasting and lost 40 pounds in like 4 months, but that didn’t work great for me because I could still not control my hunger, I just couldn’t wait to finish my diet so I can eat bread, cake again. I’m just hungry all the time. A year later I’ve decided to increase my fasting period.For 1.5 months now, I’ve been fasting 36 hours 3 days a week (I don’t eat Monday, Wednesday and Friday). And I feel amazing. My hunger is way way way way down, I can actually manager those urges to eat all the time, I have much more energy, and I feel like my thinking is clear . The hunger still comes in waves, but if I can keep busy for 20-30 min, it just goes away(and is very mild), and I still cook everyday for my husband and son. The only problem now, is that I’m bored, because all that time I used to think about food, now suddenly I have to fill it up with something else... and I lost another 15 pounds... but my greatest achievement of all, is NOT BEING HUNGRY ALL THE TIME 87 Reply 4 replies Laurence Welsh Laurence Welsh 4 years ago If you're feeling slow, fast! 1.1K Reply 27 replies Kingsley Elijah Kingsley Elijah 3 years ago I fasted for 6 days and 3 hours and the result was incredible,i became more sensitive to smell and i experience great mental clarity .Life became so easy,things start working better for me,i understand coding syntax more faster .my brain begin to function perfectly as if all the cobweb surrounding it are removed...I must confess that fasting is a powerful tool both physically and mentally.And another extra benefit is that i lost 5kg. 76 Reply 7 replies Michelangelo Buonarroti Michelangelo Buonarroti 4 years ago Excellent talk. I strongly favor our public tax dollars going to support the salary and work of researchers like Dr Mattson. I'd like to increase the NIH budget instead of always increasing the military budget. 146 Reply 2 replies Marlon Castro Marlon Castro 7 years ago Outstanding! I have been doing intermittent fasting for nearly three weeks and I am burning fat like never before, my former colitis and bloating have almost dissapeared, joint pain has reduced and I do have increased mental clarity in the mornings. I strongly recommend it. I loved the attack against the food and pharmaceutical industries! 125 Reply 1 reply Jesus Believer Diane Jesus Believer Diane 3 months ago (edited) This is so true since I have been intermittent fasting I feel so mentally sharp and can remember things more. I’m 46 and it’s my number one strategy for good health 3 Reply SHINOBI SHINOBI 1 year ago I water fasted for 22 days and remember my mind feeling connected to the earth. The mental clarity was something I've never experienced before. 26 Reply 3 replies M. Awwad M. Awwad 7 months ago I can vouch for this personally. When I fast from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan (30 days a year), I find myself to be lighter, sharper, and more active in general. Obviously by sunset i am ready to eat and drink something for a natural boost. Weight loss is also a useful side effect 🙂 4 Reply G. Spacepants G. Spacepants 6 years ago (edited) Fasting is incredible, the benefits you get from it are borderline super-powers. They've been shoving the lie that we need 3 meals a day down our throats (literally) for years. Too much food makes you fat, lethargic, toxic, depressed, dishonest, poor and I can go on and on. The hardest thing about fasting is the fear and the withdrawal from addiction to food that you will inevitably go through at first. 451 Reply 14 replies Indian Traveler Indian Traveler 3 years ago (edited) TED talks are amazing. Information flowing straight from research labs to the public, kind of like intersection of science and public thirst for knowledge. Thanks TED for being the platform you are. This talk is an eye opener. Although I have been aware of the benefits of fasting to some extent, this talk drives home the point convincingly. I wish there were ads/campaigns on TV and internet urging people to adopt healthy lifestyle habits like intermittent fasting and exercising and meditation to balance against the blatant campaigns for consumerism all the time. 12 Reply Daniel Barbosa Daniel Barbosa 6 years ago Whenever I ate less or fasted in the past, I always felt sharper, with better cognition, but I´ve never succesfully maintained the habit due to social conditioning and peer pressure. This talk has hopefully inspired me to take my diet by the horns and bulldoze through social norms. I truly expect this to transform my life. 5 Reply 1 reply Joe Robins Joe Robins 1 year ago I’ve just stumbled upon fasting and I’m fascinated by it. I’m always very in tune with my moods and my energy levels and I’m very aware of how I feel. I always eat healthy and exercise everyday and have a relatively physical job in which I’m on my feet for 8 hours, I tried fasting expecting to ‘crash’ about the same times in which I usually would when my body starts running out of energy but my how I was wrong, I feel consistently better throughout the day and don’t feel the same emotional pulls towards food. Try it! 6 Reply Gillian S Gillian S 1 year ago Thank you Mark for dedicating your life to this area. I believe if my Mother had seen this talk she may have reversed her dementia and extended her life. I have started fasting during the 4 months 8/16 everyday and then pushing it to 6/18 occasionally and I've seen a significant improvement in my ability to sleep and weight loss. It does take practice but I convinced that this is the way forward to reduce food related diseases. 3 Reply Jim Prochaska Jim Prochaska 3 months ago Thanks, Mark for a great talk; you have given me a lot of insights into my current fasting journey. I am 75, and I have had 2 strokes and 3 heart stints. In the last 22 months I have lost ~30 pounds; am no longer pre-diabetic (A1C was 6.0; now 5.5); reduced acid reflux by 95%; reduced blood pressure meds by 75%; ended Celebrex for arthritis pain in knees and hips; have seen increased cognition – a significant increase in typing speed; more bruise resistant than in the past and my skin is less dry and chapped. I have not felt this good in years - fasting is a miracle. 3 Reply Oleg Tutunnikov Oleg Tutunnikov 3 years ago I've been five years on the Warrior DIet. Every word Mark says in this video in my experience is true. 63 Reply 2 replies Drunken Jedi Drunken Jedi 1 year ago I've had been doing 16:8 intermittent fasting and the occasional 20:4/OMAD (one meal a day) fast for a couple months in conjunction with a low carbohydrate diet. Was feeling really great, the best I've felt in years really. However, the last 2-3 weeks I slipped completely and started eating chocolate and snacks again... biscuits are the devils food I swear. Since then my productivity has dropped off a cliff, I'm feel lethargic, my short term memory recall isn't as good and the early signs of my previous depressive episodes are creeping back in. My family have noted a drastic change in my attitudes and it's almost entirely because of what I'm eating. Something dramatic needs to change in terms of advertising and societal pressures to buy/eat food every couple hours or less. We're eating ourselves into an obesity time bomb, with the issues of cardiovascular disease/acute coronary syndrome and diabetes putting incredible pressures on our health services. Not to mention the lives that are being ruined by these conditions on the count of profits for these massive corporations. If they lobbied and advertised for public health with the same vigor as they do their breakfast cereals we'd be living in a far better and healthier society. My biggest tip would be don't have breakfast in the momrning, "it's the most important meal of the day" they tell you. It's all rubbish. Stop eating at about 6-7pm the evening before and break your fast at 11am or midday, with no snacks in between. Trust me you'll feel the results not just mentally but on your waist line too. I lost 20lb in weight in a little over six weeks just by skipping breakfast, eating less processed carbohydtrates (bread, pasta) but eating natural foods higher in fibre and lots of protein. Proteins and dietary fats result in less severe insulin spikes compared to carbs and keep you feeling full for longer. Read up about the hormones leptin and ghrelin, which regulate your sensations of hunger and fullness after meals, it's interesting and makes you feel less bad about yourself for constantly snacking when you eat a high carb/sugar diet. 8 Reply Searchwithin Searchwithin 6 years ago I started doing intermittent fasting now for a little over two weeks fasting on average 20hours daily. and I love it, I have a lot of energy, and mental clarity and the ability to focus for long periods of time. it's the best thing I've ever tried from a physical health perspective. Thank you for the work that you do Mark. 36 Reply Pete Muse Pete Muse 6 years ago (edited) I have fasted intermittently since Jan. 2016. I've noticed a big difference in my thinking ability. Faster recuperation from a hangover. Better sleep. Better mood. More energy. And I have lost 40 lbs. I started out fasting Monday, Wednesday, Friday. And eating one big meal, meaning anything I wanted and as much as I wanted on the other days. Also having wine most days! I have kept the weight off, today is Nov. 28, 2016. 8 months. I can tell my brain functions better. I now have one meal or less a day eating whatever I want including ice cream etc. I am so grateful for your research Mark Mattson! 38 Reply 1 reply Mrinal Pillai Mrinal Pillai 7 months ago I used to do intermittent fasting. Then did some prolonged fasting. And now whenever i eat anything i feel too sleepy and not at all in the zone to put in hardwork. My struggle has always been on how to break a fast properly. But i must say fasting and keeping the engine for a good amount of time makes me so alert and focused and interested in things around me which a filled stomach clearly does not. Reply Kenneth W Kenneth W 1 year ago This guy is totally spot on! I started intermittent fasting 9 months ago and took a slow, easy and gradual approach making things as comfortable and natural as possible. I have since lost 100 pounds and I fast approximately 18 hours every day without any struggle whatsoever. Combine this with cutting sugar, carbohydrates and increasing vitamins and minerals, a lot of good things happen! 21 Reply 2 replies pt eddie pt eddie 1 year ago Thank you, Mr. Mattson. This lecture/lesson has helped me understand intermittent fasting and also helped me increase my dedication to this lifestyle. I currently am trying to stick to intermittent fasting, I find it difficult to not grab a low carb snack in the morning (eggs or bacon, usually). I think that listening to you has helped my resolve. 4 Reply Food Paradise Food Paradise 2 years ago I give credit to any scholar who calls out the food and drug industry. 257 Reply 2 replies Isela Bitsy Isela Bitsy 7 years ago I have borderline personality disorder, and I've been doing a low-carb diet and intermittent fasting, has worked wonderfully for me, I been sleeping better (6-8 hours which is alot for a border) , I have less mood swings, and although I know that this will not solve my life 100% at least has helped me alot, i decided to start this diet after i read that it was good for epileptics and schizophrenics , i was taking same medication, anticonvulsants and antipsychotics, so i told myself "why not?" and i don´t regret :D Sorry about my english 415 Reply 40 replies Ronen M Ronen M 3 years ago Intermittent fasting and keto saved my life. I couldn't even go a couple of hours without needing to eat and was a sugar addict. Lost weight, health issues disappeared (big ones). Absolutely saved me. 13 Reply orlando dizon orlando dizon 1 year ago Wow! This was 7 years ago. I wish I'd known this before. I just started fasting (Keto-IF-extended fast,four mouths ago). I lost 40 pounds. No exercise. I feel great. The last time I was at this weight was decades ago. If you want an updated take on Keto/Low carb and fasting, watch Sten Ekberg's videos. You need 3-5 days for autophagy. According to Ekberg, you also produce HGH. 3 days of water fasting is now easy to do for me. I am trying to do a 4-5 days fast once a month. The rest of the days, I do IF. Btw, i also minimized carbs and removed processed food from my meal plan. It also saves you a lot of money. 7 Reply Party Size Party Size 4 months ago I found this fasting diet thing is correct, by accident! I developed an altered sense of taste and smell, causing many foods to become undesirable in taste. I would avoid many foods, started losing weight, and soon found myself skipping meals and soon realized it didn't bother me .I was eating a fraction of my usual diet, was afraid I was going to starve to death, but then my weight leveled off and my energy level remained, as I continued do physical work every day as I had always done. What's more, I have never felt better in my life. I was approaching the age where my memory was getting bad too, and I actually think it is getting better. 1 Reply Teresa Williamson Teresa Williamson 2 years ago I have been fasting for around 10 years. I feel full of energy when fasting, alert, at peace, light, less stressed. Fasting, Intermittent 5/2, Periodic 16/8, 16/800 calories, delayed eating 16 hr fast daily, all contribute to good health. I believe fasting is the way forward to maintain, capture, enhance good health. We have no other option because we have had excess. Fasting lowers blood pressure, lowers cholesterol, creates new neurons in the brain, lowers IGF1 (insulin growthlike factor 1) which we need when growing but not as adults, high levels cause disease like cancer. Increases HGH (human growth hormone) required for repair and to maintain good health. When fasting the body repairs itself 100% and keeps inflammation very low so people don't get Auto-Immune diseases, where the body attacks itself and makes people sick. What is not to like? Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8 Reply chuck2u32 chuck2u32 4 years ago (edited) I've used fasting to rid myself of 70 pounds and three "incurable" autoimmune diseases. I hope fasting is one day embraced as a mainstream solution for autoimmune diseases rather than the palliative drugs pushed by the medical establishment. August 2021 update. I successfully lost 100 lb and arrested for autoimmune diseases as long as I continue in My fasting lifestyle they have not returned. I've been in maintenance of the weight loss now for 2 years. Thank God for fasting. Clearly it does not have the flaws of man-made diets. 111 Reply 15 replies Pete Muse Pete Muse 6 years ago This video has changed my life. I've lost 30 lbs in about 10 weeks! with 20 more to go. and feel great! 1.6K Reply 59 replies Morelos Kyōnin Barros Morelos Kyōnin Barros 6 years ago Hi. I'm a Buddhist priest. Thank you for this video. I can personally say that intermittent fasting has always been part of our human nature. Have you ever noticed that when you got the flu, you barely want to eat? That's your body screaming you to leave it alone so it can heal! So why is it that you force yourself into having a bowl of chili or soup? Fasting heals you. Make you feel great and the mind is sharp and clear. Most of the Buddhist monastic community worldwide have only 2 small meals a day and this has been going on for thousands of years. So try skipping breakfast. That's all you need to lose weight, lower your carbon imprint and feel great. 1.3K Reply 47 replies Eric Sanchez Eric Sanchez 5 years ago Super fascinating. The posts made about the personality disorders and depression were equally fascinating and it does make sense that the food now a days MIGHT have something to do with these mental health issues. Super Awesome. So glad I came across this video. Reply Allma Pašić Allma Pašić 3 years ago Fasting truly should be promoted more. One of the first signs I've noticed about the benefits I've reaped came with my first menstrual cycle. For men, this might not mean a lot, but for women it's a great indicator of what's happening inside your body. No bloating, no pains, no stress, no food cravings. Nothing. I have lost weight, but the real reason why I've started fasting is mental focus and concentration. I find it easier to remember information and I'm much more motivated to get up and get things done. As a college student, this is something I struggled with in the past. Fasting+meditation have, without kidding or overreacting, changed my life for the better. Reply Vince nt Vince nt 6 years ago Intermittent fasting is the best thing I've been doing in a while. I have less fat, same amount of muscle, more stable blood sugar and am way happier and energetic. Everybody should at least try it for several months. 71 Reply 3 replies WelcomeToPottersville WelcomeToPottersville 1 year ago I believe in everything Mark says here. Ive been doing intermittent fasting (only eat from Noon-8pm) for 4 months and I feel leaner, sharper, and more energetic. It works 11 Reply 1 reply CristianKirk CristianKirk 6 years ago Great talk. I discovered fasting pretty much on my own when I was a kid. Always had a problem with the 4-meals-a-day program... I would think, "what's the point of eating when you're not hungry or waiting to whatever hour to eat if you're hungry now?" People is just too absorved in the psycohological structures of the dominant consumerist culture. As Mattson said in the talk, at first it is painful and difficult, because it's hard to break the daily 4-meals program, but once you get used to it, you feel it just makes sense. 87 Reply 3 replies Gigi Simbajon Gigi Simbajon 6 years ago Well, I have my own version to explain the benefits of fasting but I strongly agree with the topic at hand.. It is indeed very significant if one wants to live longer with healthier cognitive faculties.. Brilliant and practical speaker... a real and valiant scientist.. I salute you!!! God bless.. 7 Reply Andrew Scott Andrew Scott 1 year ago Hey Doc love your videos. I'm 57 and have been low carb for a while with no need for weight loss. For the past few months I've been doing a 48 hour fast every two weeks, for longevity/autophagy, and I feel good. I saw in another video you said a longer fast maybe 3 times per yr is sufficient. Can you comment further? Reply Shelley Huskey Shelley Huskey 1 year ago I noticed that when I strict my diet and when I gave up sugar that I can think 1,000 times better and you are right that it is tough when I eat breads and too much processed foods, but it gets easier when I eat real vegetables fruits and seeds and nuts. Thanks for this Ted talk. I wish they would publicize this on TV every day so more people would get the message that we don’t need to eat so much to be mentally and physically healthy; we just need the right foods. Reply Joseph Sliwa Joseph Sliwa 4 years ago So true...I just wanted to shed a few lbs for a camera shoot and found that my thoughts, memory and fitness greatly enhanced by doing a water fast. Thanks for this message that confirms my experience. 5 Reply Jay Brown Jay Brown 5 years ago I've intermittent Fasted for the last 6 straight months. I began @ around 235 lbs around 19% bf. Now I dwell around 195 lbs around 12-14% bf. I started off doing 23:1 for about 3 months. I shifted into 20:4 for a couple of months, and I have been into 16:8 ever since. I also did all of this while Boxing and strength training. It was the mental clarity, digestive benefits, and the release from the "bodybuilding" dogma of 5-6 meals per day that kept me going @ first. Now it's part of my lifestyle and it just feels natural. I just want to encourage everyone who has thought about doing IF, but has been too afraid physically or emotionally due to some ridicule that may come from nay-sayers! Try it for yourself and remember that we are to eat to live and not just live to eat. It works! The data from the science speaks for itself. 5 Reply xbluebells xbluebells 7 years ago I have been on intermittently fasting for over a year -- 2 days low calorie at 500 and eating normally the other 5. I love the control I feel because as long as the days are not consecutive you can pick your eating days to match celebrations and holidays. I think for me this is a lifelong lifestyle change and I don't think about it being a diet. I do find my stress levels go up on the fasting days and I am careful on those days not to pick a fight! LOL 14 Reply 1 reply Ceil Constante Ceil Constante 4 years ago I'm so glad this came up in my feed. Very worthwhile talk! I really like the quote Mark Matteson gives at the beginning:. I'm going to look for other videos by him. I'm currently following Dr. Eric Berg who makes Keto so easy in short illustrated educational videos. He and his wife Karen also share some amazing recipes! My health has improved dramatically! 6 Reply Gaines Coker Gaines Coker 2 years ago Excellent information! Started after I gained additional weight. Lost 20 lbs. returned from vacation and had actually lost weight for the first time. Incorporated it into my daily routine. You can do it with planning. You have to be intentional about it. There's got to be a "want-to" on your part but it will be so beneficial. Reply ma_ligaya ma_ligaya 2 years ago I've started fasting in October 2019 and from 175lbs, I am just now 148lbs(lost 27lbs), with 30mins minimum exercise 4 days a week. I followed the 5:2 intermittent fasting where I don't eat lunch and dinner on Mondays and Thursdays. Reply Jonny Crono Jonny Crono 6 years ago I'm glad to have stumbled upon this great presentation. Partially because I had started to realize the benefits of fasting for learning and memory by attending school without any recent meal. Over time, I had come to think that it looked like my performances were slightly better when I had not eaten in a while, surprisingly. It seems like it was a founded impression. I just always felt better when I tended to eat less than the quantity prescribed by my government (Canada). So, I just went with it, even though being constantly swarmed by contradictory information. For example, since I decided to scratch most of the dairy products off my diet as one of the means to reduce my calories intake, I have more energy during the day and I sleep better. It looks healthier in the bathroom too. My government falsely advertises how great dairy products are for us. Just like this dude said, they do this for money. To keep the dairy market up and running strong. If I remember right, no mammal naturally drinks milk once they've grown up. Only humans do that. They are probably doing the same when it comes to the calories intake they pretend that we should get each day, just like this nice dude says. So, yeah. Here's my diet. It works wonders on me. Almost only white meat. Mainly chicken. Red meat about once per week just because I love it. Only complete fibers from a variety of cereals I like. No enriched flour for instance and very little bread to accompany any meal. Almost no dairy products. Some cheese. Some butter and milk, mostly just what's used in cooking. Mainly no sugar other than the natural sugars from fruits. For me it's a fruit shake with soy milk and a salad everyday and a lot of water. In average, I eat about 25% fewer calories per day than what my government advertises we should. Sometimes, I just skip a meal or two in a row and sometimes later eat a slightly larger meal than usual. When I physically work out, I increase my proteins intake. I have been doing that for a long time and I never felt better, more focused and energized. 2 Reply 1 reply BowHunter77 BowHunter77 5 years ago I've been intermittent fasting for 19 weeks and I'm down 25 lbs.

I recommend fasting with green tea, its an amazing combination for brain health. 5 Reply 3126 Brooklyn 3126 Brooklyn 5 years ago Thank you Dr. Mark for packing so much information and inspiration into a mere 16 minutes! Before I heard about intermittent fasting (a few weeks ago) I was already halfway there ... eating one big meal (all healthy) and one very small meal (just nuts) ... I am full of energy and 72 yo ... now that I have been introduced to the concept and the amazing benefits of IF I will experiment and fine tune ... I am reading Michael Mosley's book and just bought The 8-hour Diet for the science ... today I will eat one meal ... I welcome any suggestions or pointers to sources of more information ... my main concern is whether one meal a day can be a permanent daily pattern (assuming it feels right) or should it be interspersed with days of 2 (or more) meals to give the brain a rest from that stress. It makes sense to rest the brain the same way we rest muscle groups for 48 hours between exercise. 3 Reply 1 reply Joseph A. Muniz Joseph A. Muniz 3 years ago I love intermittent fasting!

Dr Matson's information goes well with the talks by the dr berg on youtube who encourages the same things. If our politicians were truly for the people, fasting would be encouraged & practiced many more folks. We would see an end to the obesity & prescription drug epidemics.

Would love to hear more. Please continue your fantastic job. God bless you Reply Maximus Aeon Maximus Aeon 3 weeks ago Greetings to all. Today is Sunday, the 11th of December 2022. I started fasting without even knowing what fasting was the 18th of February 2018. Many people ask me how many days during the week and how many hours. Since I started fasting, it was a window of 10 minutes up to 4 hours since last year. This year due to stress the window is 40 to six hours. And of course every day. People are asking about exercise all the time. Exercise, undeniably, rebuilds and restructures mind and body. I started this journey by working in a hospital and observing people eating altogether. Then I realised what I was doing to myself which it wasn’t just embarrassing. The problem was deeper. Instead of having food being a support of my entity, of my existence, it was only an addiction. Trying to stuff my gob and getting anxious of when I’m going to eat next. After the first six weeks, I saw differences in my body, from 82 1/2 kg, I went down to 60.7 kg. many people thought that I was on steroids, and I actually found that really funny because in YouTube you will see videos that show transformations in six weeks. Going back to this day the only reason I made the four hours to 6 hours, it has been fight the stresses of academia. Of course, this extra hours are causing a big problem, they are making the mind a little bit more Sluggy slow, and I don’t like that. I am not supporting fasting as a theory, and I would recommend for the majority of YouTube viewers to stop watching just videos and direct themselves towards evidence based information. For the hope and sake of future generations, I am trying to promote people to learn more about fasting, and to understand that food addiction is nothing more than a cultural creation that is supported by major companies and brands. Facing humankind backwards, retrospectively, we can undeniably understand that fasting kept us alive. I am not proposing this diet as sufficient for everyone. I truly believe that the vast majority of population would benefit, and the rest of the food could be served to other populations who are destined to starve.

I was going to read it because of all the buzz I've been hearing about intermittent fasting - yet still a little hesitant because of being diagnosed with Type II Diabetes 3 years ago (no meds or insulin as a result of changing my diet and losing 50+ lbs). I am blessed with a new primary care doctor, an internist who is encouraging me eat healthier with more plant-based foods. Loved all the graphics in this video. Your presentation was so informative and clearly stated that even a 69-year-old woman like myself with only a high school diploma could understand the concept and the benefits of fasting. Now I want to challenge myself to learn even more, exercise more, and start intermittent fasting (I'm assuming my dr. will approve) so that I can not only stay off diabetes drugs, but also reap more of the benefits you showed us in the graphic at 4:36.

Reply poosta7 poosta7 7 years ago For starters try: 18:6 Intermittent fasting.....(don't eat after 6pm or before 12pm next day = 18 hour fast) Your eat window is from 12pm-6pm (6 hours) .... periodically do a 24 hr fast (lunch one day no eating until lunch next day (24 hour fast). Your HGH will increase, you will lose weight and your blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride levels will improve. 134 Reply 13 replies ANaturals ANaturals 1 year ago I love that Mr. Mattson spells out the collusion between the food and farmaceutical industry, which is not beneficial to us. I started to do yoga at 16 yrs of age. At that time I gave up pork and decided to eat only when I'm truly hungry, not when I feel like eating something. It changed my attitude towards food. It looks like western culture (and holistic medicine) finally caught up with what was (is?) practiced in the far east for centuries. Reply L L L L 2 years ago Good speech!

If any of us felt a cold or something coming on, we'd immediately start a one day fast. We drank only water. That cold or flu never came. We were able to kill it b4 it grabbed hold. If i dont fast I'll 100% of the time end up with a miserable cold for sometimes up to a week. That being said though, if I didn't know already about fasting, I'd be hardpressed to take this guys word for it. Is it just me or does he not look like the healtiest guy? I watched him throughout the vid and he just looks a little sickly, his hair lacks shine which is a tell tale sign of a toxic body, and he just appears to be weak. Like he's lacking energy.

I feel like I'm on go slow in comparison to others but it feels nice. I've really taken notice of how much we are bombarded to eat eat and eat, then slump into our sofas watching constant food advertisements. I would advise anyone thinking of doing a water fast with no pervious experience to consult your doctor, especially if ypou have any medical conditions.

Although I can't confirm what all the other people are saying about mental clarity and energy. The first week I really did feel great but now I feel how I did prior to fasting (mentally and mood wise). Overall though, it's been worth it. It's easier and cheaper than any other "diet" out there.

Reply Brenden Brenden 2 years ago Great one! Reply computerbiscuit computerbiscuit 7 years ago Your body is made to run on insulin or in ketosis. If we weren't meant to fast we would just die after a couple of days. People have been fasting since the dawn of man. I've water fasted several times for long periods. Here are some tips if you want to use. -Prepare for the fast, meaning no crap food at least a week before. What goes in must come out:) - Drink plenty of water, but in sips do not gulp or you will feel ill. -Add minerals in small quantities to your water maintain your electrolyte levels. These deplete over time and will make you weak and crampy. If you get too low in your electrolyte levels you can have heart problems, but that means you've been ignoring these symptoms to get to that point. You should not feel weak, tired yes, but not weak. -Take this time to write down the foods you like and get in touch with what you nourish your body with. Fasting gave me time to come up with all kinds of healthy recipes I would have never considered. -When you end a fast it's important to not drink juice or have any carbs(more than 5g). These can spike your insulin levels and you could experience "refeeding syndrome". This condition can be fatal. I suggest you break your fast with tofu, eggs, bean sprouts, and extremely small quantities of carbs. 5 grams of carbs for first couple of days doubling each couple of days till you reach your carb level. -Most important, monitor your vitals the whole time during your fast. Heart rate, ketone bodies, and maintain your electrolytes. 26 Reply 4 replies BEGEIS3 BEGEIS3 2 years ago Exciting research, has there been any counter research since?

I am college educated and She has about a middle school education. we eat dinner at 6:00 P.M. everyday and don't eat anything UNTIL 10:00 A. M. The next day. We used to snack on some fruit-banana or strawberry, but not regularly. And We keep losing weight until our Doctor told us to not overdo it and say slim by eating healthy snacks and put on some weight. are both very healthy, slim at 84 years for her and 86 for me. AND BELIEVE ME, WE DON'T FEEL HUNGRY AT ALL DURING THOSE HOURS. How can We accomplish this lifestyle? She loves to watch WIFI MUSICAL SHOWS FROM "YOUTUBE", ( On TV until 2:A.M. with some Spanish novelas in between.) and I watch sports, nature shows, on TV PLUS SPEND THE REST OF THE TIME ON MY COMPUTER---YOUTUBE, YAHOO NEWS, FACEBOOK, ETC. in my private STUDY ROOM. . By coincidence, this FASTING METHOD IS DONE BY MILLIONS AND CALLED "THE 16-HOUR FASTING DIET". We reduced SUGAR AND WHITE FLOUR FOODS BY 90 %. And try to eat a mixed diet of vegetables , meats, etc. Please believe me --it is strictly a voluntary LIFESTYLE, NO HUNGER PANGS, ETC. IT;S A SNAP REALLY.

The world has been consumed by consumerism, people think the more the better. Clearly, we don’t need that much of food, fizzy drinks, chocolate, snacks, prepackaged microwave food, processed food all to satisfy your one silly tongue. The less you eat, the healthier you become. By eating less you are allowing your body and brain to function naturally. Coffee, tea, sugar, chocolate, we don’t need them at all, sugar is found naturally in fruit. Plus your brain has more ability and clarity when you eat less. For the same reason, yogis and monks eat very less. What is also important is, when you eat, eat something good, made at home, don’t buy a lot of takeout. I believe in energy transfer and it really affects who and how the food has been made.

Does this process of fasting help with "brain power" and repairing DNA or does it have to be overall caloric restriction? basically, am I fasting for nothing? because if I am I will stop I would rather check out at 70 nice and full than starve myself to 100 haha but that's just me Reply James Bermingham James Bermingham 3 years ago Brilliant video.

Eating less food actually liberates all kinds of "energy" it's not the same as the energy in physical solid food but it is still energy as is everything ultimately. So it is better to say calorie restriction or food restriction, it is specific to what Type of energy we are talking about since when we restrict food energy then other types of energy are liberated in our body. Great info being conveyed here, the speaker seems like a really caring guy, just gotta bring up his game a bit with presentation and appearing more mentally "with it" when giving a talk on brain power.

This will not happen if you eat low carbohydrate diet and eat the first meal as late as you can, or just if you eat the first meal so late there is no day left to eat again. To me, this has worked the best, and now I'm experimenting with eating one meal only every other day - let's see will that work even better. I don't think this would be wise if you would not keep your nutritional needs in mind.

What is even better is that a lot of Muslims fast each Monday and Thursday regularly during the whole year, so even after Ramadan (Muslims fasting month), we also fast twice a week on a regular basis. It is a sunnah, our beloved prophet Mohammed PBUH used to do that so we do that as well. Also in Islam, we have many other days of the year we are encouraged to fast and we get a reward for it.

Also, maybe fasting improves brain function or performance short term but does long term damage, like drinking a red bull you are kind of "borrowing" energy from the future version of yourself by "overclocking". Could be the same principal for sleeping patterns and lengths and consistency, would be worth investigating and a combination of the two (oh and wait a million other factors, like exercise, environment, habits, etc). Basically we know very little about the brain, but it is our own brain..isn't that strange? :) Anyway, say for example if you were to eat 3 times a day and sleep 7 hours a night, then you might actually become a sheep.

Fasting seems plausible in this evolving environment. Not only is it beneficial to our health, but on a grander scale it would curtail the industry deliver our demands. I'm not blaming the industry because they act on our requests and desires. As a result myriads of species suffer imbalances, extinction, captivity for slaughter and! this intricate network gave rise to all kinds of other industries, such as packaging, canning, bottling, restaurants, refrigeration, transportation and and and...which ultimately strained our environment. Let's imagine for a moment if all mankind suddenly chose the alternative eating plan, fruit or vegetables. Industries would end. No restaurants, no retail food chains and franchised foods, no more slaughterhouses and no more packaging and most certainly the end of global hunger.

Also did OMAD for several weeks. I did hair mineral analysis before and after. Today I would advise against it for anyone who wants to stay healthy in the long term. Fasting is incredibly stressful for the body! There are advantages that everyone talks about, but nobody talks about the disadvantages, which are many times greater than the advantages. Anyone who fasts for a long period of time exposes their body to unbelievable stress, which in the long run destroys the adrenal glands. The body goes into a burnout!

I do this first in the morning and then at noon before I eat I also fast until my prayers at about three in afternoon then eat a small evening meal and fast through till my morning prayers. This is similar to Daniel and the early Christians in the Bible. It worked for them and it works for me. The miracle at Pentecost is an excellent end to a fasting I think. Fasting with a goal to be present with our Lord is an excellent way to feel good about fasting!

For many people, especially in spiritual practices, fasting is not a burden, it is a very special time that brings more pleasure than discomfort. So, the idea is that if testing fasting on animals shows good effects, than on humans the effects must be even much more better.

I heard skipping meals then eating increases your changes of diabetes. Reply ilaj ilaj 6 years ago Okay, I am all against pharmacy but I must say that this doesn't "work" for all people. Yes, brain is stressed and it works harder to find food so it is more active. The point here is that you actually know in advance that you will get the food later anyway. So, knowing the result of your fasting is reinforcement to the brain, and it makes you feel secure. When you are feeling secure, you are happy. You cant just go out without food (not knowing that you wont get any afterwards) an be healthy because you are simply hungry. Cognition is never mentioned in this TEDx talk and it should have been. For example quote: "One prevalence study on homelessness and cognitive impairment in an inner Sydney population showed almost a six-fold increase in cognitive impairment in the homeless population to that of the general population (10% compared with 1.7% respectively)" Homeless people are the ones who are fasting 80% of their lives, still, they have increase in cognitive impairment. Yet, on the other side, monks are fasting 100% of their lives, but yet they have PEACE. So people, PEACE is the answer. Cognition, knowing, that you are safe, sound, loved and peaceful will give you no diseases. PEACE 4 Reply Kaoru Sugimura Kaoru Sugimura 3 years ago Alright, multiple things here are too vague. First and foremost he mentions how fasting is good but the body gains energy from breaking down the food you eat. Because energy cannot be created nor destroyed it's merely being converted. Now this first issue appears when he mentions how ketones serve as a supplement energy source for the brain. Where are the ketones getting this excess energy if you aren't eating to supply the body with more energy? The only answer is that it obtains it from the body (breaking down other parts of the body for that energy). Typically starting with excess sugar and working it's way up. The problem occurs when there is no excess or the body fails to utilize sugars (like with diabetics) as it quickly begins breaking down the body itself, particularly muscle mass, to obtain that energy. The second major issue with fasting is that it's impossible to know which method would work best for any specific one individual. We are all unique in our metabolism, work/exercise and general health. No one method will be perfect everyone and no one method will work permanently as the body slows naturally with ageing. The final issue is in the speaker himself. For someone praising fasting and even mentioning that he himself does it, he isn't well spoken. He "uhs" a lot to put himself back into the train of thought. He at times lost track of what he's saying. It also doesn't help that he looks like a cancer patient and I know what a person with cancer looks like as I lost two family members to camcer. His eyes are sunken in and his skin looks unhealthy. Typically a sign that the body is either malnourished or that it is extremely overworked. I am not denying the potential benefits but I do deny pushing anyone into fasting. It can easily do more harm than good if you aren't careful as it's very well known that the human body will cannibalize itself to make every attempt to keep the brain functioning and survive.

Reply Lidia El Lidia El 1 year ago Thank you 😊 Reply markp64 markp64 5 years ago just telling people not to eat without giving them instructions on how to eat and the mechanisms that are behind that is fruitless. if you're eating a moderate to high carbohydrate diet chances are it's going to be extremely difficult to fast because you will not feel satiated ever throughout the day and your hunger will take over and you will eat that's why diets fail. the key is to increase your fat intake and lower your sugar intake or carbohydrate intake. fat is self-regulating and you cannot over eat it. the body's response to a high-fat meal will release hormones to tell you that your full far earlier then when heating carbohydrates. ultimately the key is high fat Ketone production and then success with fasting. personally I have gone 48 hours doing this and it was easy I had no problems. however when I used to eat carbohydrates as my primary source and I was a glucose burner it was impossible to not go without eating good luck Reply Nozen Gaming Nozen Gaming 5 months ago When I say to my mom , I I am gonna fast today.

So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers excess - it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew. 185 The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful. 6 Reply Said-18 Said-18 Said-18 Said-18 8 years ago fasting is one of the pillars of Islam 8 Reply 6 replies Brick923 Brick923 7 years ago The Only Main reason to Fast is because of God and for your Health 7 Reply 3 replies Zavi Aman Zavi Aman 6 years ago i will forever wonder why Muhammad is not there who told the world to fast and 1.6 billion people are fasting every year because of him lol 3 Reply 11 replies jjsjjs13 jjsjjs13 7 years ago dope comb over 3 Reply HackHunter1835 HackHunter1835 3 years ago I enjoyed the presentation, however the hair was distracting.

Jesus Christ fasted for 40 days. St John the Baptist is also known to have fasted by going into the desert. Fasting among the first Christians was commonplace. The first monks lived in isolation, scraping on the barest minimum, and later, monasteries also practised a strict regimen of fasting. The purpose was not intended for any dietary benefits but rather for spiritual discipline and enlightenment, to attain a higher spiritual awareness in communion with God, and suppress the whims of a corrupt body. Bottom-line: It is the spirit which should be in control of the body - not the other way round. This is why today we live in perfect chaos, because we live in a spiritually dead world where personal ego reigns supreme. 69 Reply 27 replies NAKAM NAKAM 6 years ago thank allah I am a muslim.i am fasting now.and feel very good.thanks for video.peace 75 Reply 40 replies Chivas6 Chivas6 7 years ago This guy needs to just shave his head. 18 Reply 5 replies lili M lili M 7 years ago The fasting has been done for over 1000 years in Middle east, it is not a rocket science.

Reply Dennis Golomazov Dennis Golomazov 3 years ago His hair clearly does intermittent fasting too Reply 1 reply Amirouche The Lion of Numidia Amirouche The Lion of Numidia 3 years ago I am a Muslim living in the Greater Boston Area. I have been fasting for the past three weeks because it is Ramadan. But I have for the past two years fasted each Monday and Thursday because our prophet Muhammed Peace be upon him said it is the way of the prophets before you. All prophets fasted Monday and Thursday including Jesus, Moses, Abraham, and all the other prophets. They fasted the Islamic fast ( remember the world Islam in Arabic means to submit your will to your creator and none have done more so than the prophets). The only prophet who used to fast every other day was prophet Dawud ( AKA King David to the Christians) As a testament to what this man is saying, I can assure you that he is 100% right. I feel a huge boost of energy every time I fast during Mondays and Thursdays. I feel like I am lighter , quicker, more alert, and very sharp. The days I don't fast however I feel less energy and a bit sluggish, and drowsy because of all the food I have been eating. The way Muslims fast is very different than the way Christians, Jews and others fast. We eat and drink ZERO foods and liquids form sunrise to sunset. I can assure you that FASTING is the way to go if you want to extract toxins, clean your system, become healthier, lighter, smarter, more alert, and get rid of all diseases. By the way in Haddith ( Prophet Muhammed PBUH Sayings ) and Islamic literature, Muslim scholars have said that all pro peace be upon then had an amazing physic including having 6 packs , and a v shaped body, and lean, and svelte appearance, and that they were all very strong men.

Dr. Valter Longo is the Edna M. Jones Professor of Gerontology and Biological Sciences, and Director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California – Davis School of Gerontology, Los Angeles. Dr. Longo’s studies focus on the fundamental mechanisms of aging in simple organisms, mice and humans. The Longo laboratory has identified several genetic pathways that regulate aging in simple organisms and reduce the incidence of multiple diseases in mice and humans. His laboratory also described both dietary and genetic interventions that protect cells and improve the treatment and prevention of cancer and other diseases in mammals. He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1997 and his postdoctoral training in the Neurobiology of Aging and Alzheimer’s Diseases at USC. He started his independent career in 2000 at the University of Southern California, School of Gerontology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Reasoning would be whether stress hormones play a factor in effectiveness of starting to fast until the conclusion of the experiment. People accustomed to fasting probably wouldn't as worried about their next meal and dealing with hunger pangs and so anxiety about something they've never tried before would be less and could result in significantly different results between the two groups. Some people fast as part of their religious beliefs and have been doing it since an early age so it isn't so new to them. 10 Reply 1 reply jammin6816 jammin6816 3 years ago Very nice video.

I actually felt invulnerable from disease and infection after the 10-day mark and was feeling quite good overall. Most importantly, is what foods and quantities you consume when breaking the fast. Overall, it was a very healing experience. 52 Reply 6 replies Arlene Mchugh Arlene Mchugh 4 years ago This is so interesting! I also watched documentaries "Fasting" and "The Science of Fasting".

That is such BS. From a person who has done intermittent fasting (17 hour) every day for the past year, I've never felt better than now. I have practically every bad health risk in my family and I can feel the onset of diabetes creeping in but I'm able to keep it at bay doing this method. When doing this, you have to stop eating at 7 p.m. That is when your organs and your body is going into its resting phase. Don't eat ANYTHING after that until the next day at 12 p.m. the only thing you can have in between that time is water. That's all you will need to satiate that hunger which is in actuality thirst. If you do this along with high intensity exercise when you can, especially towards the end of the fasting period, you will not only lose weight quickly but you will maintain a healthy, happy, motivated and depression free life with good blood level numbers. Those two things along with an overall reduction of sugar in your diet is all you will need to maintain a truly healthy lifestyle. That will be tough because sugar is in EVERYTHING and that industry is very powerful and more insidious than the tobacco industry. Doing this, it will be tough the first few times but once you get the hang of it, it becomes easy. Water is all you need...not cofee or even tea. 18 Reply 1 reply Minimal Sessions Minimal Sessions 5 years ago Wow!

Being most people and families are one paycheck away from broke. People are not going to do anything that interferes with there money making process.

Reply 2 replies Ali Umar Ali Umar 4 years ago Miracles of Islam about Good Health, Who knows about the best way for man to keep himself in good health and free himself of all diseases than the one who created man and the one who loves his creation? There is nothing left to mention about the best life for man in this world and in hereafter that Islam has not mentioned it. Study about the subject of fasting in the school of Islam. Study about the concept of God in Islam. Do not be selfish; do not give blind eyes in order to ignore the truth. Have courage and be an open minded person. Study about the teaching of Islam. You will find in the School of Islam the recipe of the medicine for all diseases. Come to salvation. Come to Islam; come to good health; come to prosperity. 1 Reply 1 reply D V D V 4 years ago walford died in 2004. Reply NickNak NickNak 4 years ago Damn.
