What kind of fast should one be doing? If a patient is just simply looking to reduce his visceral fat, then I start
00:00:08
with 1212, which means 12 hours you don't eat anything. You just drink liquids with no calories in it. And then
00:00:16
12 hours is your feeding period. We start with that and we do that for about 2 to 3 weeks. Then we quickly move to
00:00:24
186. 186 means 6 hours you get to eat. 18 hours it's only water, black tea, black coffee, green
00:00:36
tea, no calories. 186 186 and then that's one type of fasting. Now if a patient is very overweight, a
00:00:47
patient has diabetes and your goal is to reverse the diabetes, the patient needs
00:00:51
to lose 60 pounds, then those patients have a special type of need for them. I will take them to a 48 hour fast once a
00:01:02
week. Sometimes I'll go to a 3-day water fast every nine days. Every nine days you will do OMAD. OMAD
00:01:12
means one meal a day only, every day for nine days. And then you're going to give
00:01:17
me a three-day water fast.
