if these subjects went through chemotherapy and did a three-day water fast that on the third day
at 72 hours white blood cells that were tired and worn out
rebooted themselves, reinvigorated themselves and the immune system came on in a stronger way.
Dr. Mindy here and on this video we're going to talk about the mack daddy of all fasts. The
3-day water fast. If you are new to my channel I just want to say welcome! I'm a woman

and we're going to do the 3-day water fast as a group so I want to go through why you would
want to do a 3-day water fast and we're going to talk about some guidelines. Now I want you guys
to remember that fast training week we now have LMNT sponsoring us for our fast training week

the fasting variation that I teach you want to learn how to fast according to your cycle
it's time for another Fat-Burner Reset where I take you through a 15-day fasting experience lots
of different ways of eating lots of different ways of fasting always always always tremendous results
so just put Fat-Burner Reset in your comments and my team will send you a link for that. It's
an incredible experience that if you want to be on this journey and understand these principles it's
key for weight loss going through this experience. okay let's dive into this so you guys know me
I like to make this as simple as possible so let's start with this the longer you fast. The more
fasting healing switches get turned on i have done so many videos on this in fact the most popular
video on my channel was the first time I stood up with a big chart and said hey this is what happens
the longer you fast so when we look at the 72 hour fast that is three days of fasting we are looking
at each switch that I teach you guys is going to get turned on including the last switch that
it gets turned on at 72 hours which is an immune system reset now the 72 fast was made very popular
by Dr Valter Longo he has been a researcher in the fasting world for many years and in his lab he
showed that if you went 72 hours of water only his subjects were people going through chemotherapy
if these subjects went through chemotherapy and did a three-day water fast that on the third day
at 72 hours white blood cells that were tired and worn out rebooted themselves reinvigorated
themselves and the immune system came on in a stronger way. We call those stem cells and we
now have taken his findings and fasters all over the world use his three-day water fast not only
to reboot their immune system but once those stem cells come surging in systemically through your
body at 72 hours of a water fast once that happens you can repair musculoskeletal injuries, it will
repair neurons in the brain, it will help with cancer cells that you may not even be aware are
there it will help you fight viruses this is what I call the immune reset fast but with these added
stem cells you can repair a lot of things along with it's incredible for slowing the aging process
down. So the 72-hour fast is phenomenal for this mega dose of healing that will happen in your body
without any supplements without any food your body naturally heals itself so what do you need to know
to be able to succeed at this fast and there are a lot of a lot of things and so next week I'll
be going through each one of these individually but let me give you an overview right now first
you have to know how to prepare for the 72-hour fast so for this fast training week we are going
to be preparing. That first day Monday will be the preparation day on that preparation day
here's what I encourage you to do. You're going to avoid the three most toxic foods, the bad oils, the
refined carbohydrates and sugars and the toxic ingredients. These are your bread, your pastas,
anything sugary your desserts this is going to have sugar mixed with bad oils and is going to
make your blood sugar go on this roller coaster that makes fasting very difficult.
So on Monday you're avoiding the three most toxic foods but what I'm going to encourage you to do
is to add in more protein clean protein if you eat meat. I'm not
giving you macros I just want you to increase meat and I want you to increase fat and I want you to
bring down the refined carbohydrates. The hardest way to do a three-day water fast is to just eat
standard american diet and go well I'm gonna fast for three days let me have some cereal,
let me have some oatmeal, let me have my bread, my cakes, my pastas. You're not minding your oils
and then you go immediately into the three-day water fast that is a really stark way to go after
a fast and we'll make it so that your first couple days in the fast you will struggle.
For this fast training week what we're gonna do is on Monday we are going to up our clean protein,
we're going to up our good fat, we're going to bring down our refined carbohydrates. I even
would bring fruits down so that we can stabilize your blood sugar. If you are a vegan you're going
to have to make the right choice for your protein but I would definitely lean into like some protein
powders, pea protein, some beans you want to up your protein the day before. That is pivotal.
The second thing that you really need to know how to be able to succeed at this 72 hour fast
is you got to know how to break your fast so unlike any other fast the 72 hour fast
it's really important that you break it with the four-step process that I teach. I am going to do
a specific video next week just on that four-step process so please stay tuned to that. It's also in
the companion guide you just put companion guide in and we'll send you that.
The last thing you need to know about the 72-hour fast is how often should you do it and I'll put a
whole video on that. I'll show you how I time the 72-hour fast some of you are going to want to do
it once a month, some of you are going to want to do it once a year and I'll explain to you why and
when you would want to do it. If you're new to my channel make sure you hit the subscribe and
notification button so you get all the videos next week. I put out five videos on this topic alone.
Okay what are the three major rules for fast training week next week. So rule number one
I already gave you Monday you are bringing your refined carbohydrates down you're getting rid
of the toxic oils you're upping your protein and you're going to eat as much good fat as possible.
Lots of keto cups a lot of lots of raw nut, butter, lots of avocado, lots of Andrea seed oils.
all the things I've taught you guys over the years. We want to power up those good fats.
Tuesday through Thursday so you will stop eating. Monday night so whatever time you stop
eating on Monday night if you stop at six o'clock you will not eat until six o'clock on Thursday
night that will be your 72 hours so you can decide maybe you want on Monday to stop at three o'clock
so you can eat at three o'clock on Thursday that's up to you, you get to make that decision there's
no fasting rule on Monday there's only an eating rule on Monday now when you are from Tuesday
through Thursday you're drinking water Tuesday and Wednesday you're drinking water only Thursday
you will break your fast at whatever mark that 72 hours is but Monday and Tuesday when you're
you're just drinking water what can you drink so I really encourage if you want the purest experience
with this, you just drink water and you can drink as much as you want the second thing is you can
and add in some LMNT. I highly recommend it it will help with brain function as far as like
your brain telling you you need to eat sometimes a little change in taste in your mouth will help
it will also help with heart palpitation those of you that lose hair when you fast
adding minerals back in can make a big difference so I would encourage you get yourself some
LMNT put a big pack a pack of these in water and you can drink as many packs as you
want throughout the day. Now I'll tell you another little trick that Dave Asprey told me on drinking
I'm not sure what i think of it but i'm gonna throw it out there for you guys
when I interviewed him for my resetter podcast this would be a great week to listen to that
episode it's on iTunes he talks about when he does a three-day water fast he does coffee MNT
okay now let's talk about what coffee he does he does mold-free, chemical-free coffee and
he adds MCT oil in no cream. So those of you don't want to give up coffee for this week you could do
Dave Asprey style not a problem okay I have a whole video by the way on what you can drink
during a water fast that will come out next week if you want to do mineral water that would be okay
if you want to do diet coke don't recommend it nutrasweet will make you more insulin resistant
so and again I have a whole video coming out on that on Thursday night when you go to break
the fast you are going to break it with my four-step process the four-step process is
in the companion guide and I have a whole video I am doing specifically on the four-step process
so make sure you get the companion guide and you watch that video
last thing really important for the three-day water fast you want to measure please measure it
is really important that you know what your blood sugar and ketones are doing when you go into these
longer fasts so you can get a keto mojo that's our favorite just put keto mojo in your in the
comments my team will send you a link you could get a cgm continuous glucose monitor that's also
really awesome for a longer fast just put cgm in the comments they'll send you a link to that
and you are going to measure three times during the day you're going to measure first thing in
the morning you're going to measure at noon and you're going to measure at 8 pm
and that is going to be on Tuesday Wednesday and on Thursday you will do eight in the more or
when you first get up in the morning you'll do noon and then right before you break your fast
that's the three times I will be going live on Wednesday to talk about the differences um of
what your numbers mean so please stay tuned for that because I will come and answer your questions
on that but measurement is key and if you dip below 50 in American numbers you're going to
want to break your fast if your ketones get above 7.0 you're going to want to break your fast all
of that is in the companion guide okay last two things I want to say a word of caution
if you have a chronic condition if you have diabetes if you're pre-diabetic
I highly recommend in fact more than highly recommend I absolutely encourage you to involve
your doctor in this three-day water fast I'm not your doctor you need to involve your doctor in
this process so make sure you have your doctor's wish uh blessings and that you're involving him
or her in the process the other word of caution I want to give you is please measure the measurement
tells us everything and if you're staying within the guidelines you're going to be totally fine
if you're not staying within the guidelines and you're stepping outside of the ketones and the
and the blood sugar now you're putting yourself at risk so please make sure you measure and last
last thing if you want the companion guide put it in the comments and as always
if you love this experience I'll take you through the 15-day fat burner reset where I take you
in and out of five different fasts I show you different eating styles that will help you lose
weight we're starting one the week after this we will start one so just put fat burner reset in the
comments and i'll make sure you get it but this is a super cool experience those of you who have done
a three-day water fast please leave your results and your tips in the comments so everybody who's
joining in on this fast training week can learn from your wisdom so as always i hope that helps
