Fasting For Survival Lecture by Dr Pradip Jamnadas

The hardest thing about fasting is controlling your mind. I guess try not to go out of your home when you fast and don’t watch tv cause you’ll be tempted to eat. Maybe go for a walk to the park or the beach or read a good book. Don’t be on your cell phone also.

Amaazing! My ancestors used to fast every 11th day (Ekadashi) from full/ new moon, no food, no water. Now I understand why. And during Navaratri ppl do 9 day water fast. Glad to see ancient knowledge is coming back.

Dr. Pradip, will this 3 day fasting cure autoimmune condition like oral Lichen Planus? Have you seen any patients, who were cured of Lichen Planus?

Present 2025😊

Dr., those energy drinks give energy from caffeine and Vit B. Other than that, I watch your videos and fast. Thank you p.s. i also don't beleive in evolution but I guess that doesn't play into fasting for health.

I have a question. Is PROLONGED fasting (72 hrs fasting) ok for people who had their gallbladder removed? Please let me know if you talked to your dr about this and you know for sure. Thank you very much in advance. 🙏

Yes I am waching.

I’m 57 with MS and lymphocytic colitis. Starting a 3 day fast tonight. I have medication I have to take with food. Any ideas how to deal with that? Even a couple of crackers would take away the fasting benefits?

I would love to know, did you take the vaccine

Yea feb 2025

Watching from Australia 2025, Feb 25th.❤ thank you. I'm on intermittent fasting for only 2 weeks so far( trying to decrease the inflammation for the PMR - My GP said)
Can the inflammation be reduced after a long period of fasting? Ps, I done 24 hrs fasting only.....
Thank you, doctor 😢

I wish I could watch his videos earlier ❤ I'm totally agree with all his contents. Brilliant doctor....
We don't die from fasting, but we die from eating.....

the comment about protein is contradicting to what he was saying about cavemen who would feast and famine, hard to believe our ancestors were only eating 50g protein off of a fresh wooly mammoth or bison kill.

I am 16 hours in❤

Jesus Christ is GOD. Fasting works . Jesus is GOD JOHN 316

I am 38 years old. Just finished my first 24 hours fasting experience. Last 8 hours where harder than I thought, I think more mentally than physically because of eating habbit. Will do next week the same 24 hours.

Listening from Aussie March 2025 😊

A well known Dr once said that "many people dig their grave with their teeth."
I thought it was harsh, but now I see he was right.

March 2, 2025. I have started intermittent fasting from March 1. Will update shortly...

Honestly i cant truly express how much this video changed my perspective. Always grew up believing what they say in school: "eat 3 big nutritous meals a day", or "if you dont eat your stomach acid will digest your own stomach", or "if you dont eat at least once a day that's starving yourself" etc. honestly it makes me so sad 99 percent of americans are raised in ignorance. I also appreciate he actually gives us the science and not just statements. Thanks doc. And mom for showing me this

GET THROUGH THE CRAVING

Agree with all but lowering protein, we do need more fat, Indians are the highest levels of diabetes, I feel he's coming from a vegetarian it vegan background, I fast and am mostly carnivore. I was still sick on strict keto with Hashimoto's, carnivore keeps me feeling well and in shape. Just my opinion from listening to other drs.

The orthodox church has practiced fasting for 2000 years in recognition of its founder Jesus Christ who survived on bread and water for 40 days, to this day orthodox christians adhere to a strict 40 fast for lent and other times of the year including every Wednesday and Friday. It seems fasting has health benefits as well as spiritual.

I just finished a 36 hr fast!!! I wanted to go for 4 days…. It was tough. But I’m gonna try again!!

So if I currently take high BP medication and I’m starting ADF, should I not take the medication to give my body a chance to naturally lower the body pressure or continue taking until I have normal range readings?

I come back to this for momentum. 💛💛💛

Love this man too

What I would like to know is mortality numbers in past days spoken of?

tarik reccomended you

This is the single greatest video of all times in my humble opinion. Listening to Dr. Pradip has radically changed my life. From battling childhood obesity and continuing to be obese all my life, lacking self esteem, self worth and self love... This video fundamentally changed something in me.

I decided to give my health one year where I take radical ownership for it.
In the past 7 months, I have lost 57 pounds, built muscle, Reversed Pre diabetes, insulin resistance (down from fasting insulin of 92 to 5), PCOS, cholesterol issues and everything else that needed fixing

I went cold turkey, started OMAD (salads, protein (salmon/chicken/eggs/meat/cheese, sweet potato/sourdough bread, berries, kefir on most days), cheat meal once a week, cut out sugar and processed foods as much as I can, occasionally did 48/72 hours, walking 10-15k steps 5-6 times a week, lifting heavy 4-5 times a week, sleeping for 7-8 hours, getting some early morning sun when possible... Being kind to myself on the days that I fail or cannot pull a longer fast...

I finally love and value myself after 33 years of existence, because I chose to show up for myself every single day. I am writing this so someone out there can know that putting yourself first, taking care of your physical and mental health is our biggest and most important job in life and the results are far reaching and compounding... Along the way, you will truly end up valuing yourself, become your own person, realize what amazing things your body is capable of and I hope for you to fall in love with yourself and the process! ❤

March 20..2025

where do i find the lecture slide show ?

Awesome! Simply Awesome!!

I watched this video about a year ago when I was dealing with a mysterious illness that gave me weeklong panic attacks, chronic diarreah, and an idiopathic anaphylaxis episode for the first time in my life. I started with a 48 hour fast, went to OMAD, eating only whole foods. I went from 170 to 150 in two months. I found out the issue was toxic mold, moved out the house, had a horrific 3 months of healing, ate as clean as possible, intermittent fasted, and took some supplements prescribed by my doctor. Im steadily 120 lbs now, internittent fasting daily with a completely new diet. Im also 95% healed from the worst of it all. Im slowly starting back exercising, so when i can exercise with no symptoms i will say that i am healed

I'm finishing up a 21 day water fast. In addition, to all the wondeful things you are saying doctor relating to the physical advantages, when you add the "spiritual benefits" of fasting, you realize just how a wonderful "spiritual discipline", it is. Thank you.

Dad if you watch this, please know you are going to heal your body fully. You have so much life in you and many more years ahead of you God willing. Nutrition, fasting, and mindset wrapped in the blanket of faith will reward you gifts that you can't even imagine but that of which you deserve. Thanks for being my dad one love !

❤

Doing God’s work, this doctor!

You have literally saved my life with fasting. I'm healthy now and I eat one meal a day still. I share your videos with many people with health problems............you are like a god to me!!!!! Thank you for all the time you give to others

Really a nice video

Sir ! Your video inspired me on regular fasting and my weight loss journey started!

Mid 2024, being cake and chocolate junkie, my weight was 117 kg. Today my weight is 82 kg and loosing. 35 kg loss in about 6 months.

Initially, fasting was tough but slowly becoming natural. I do dry fasting every Monday as Monday is day of Shiva ! Adding spirituality helps in mental strength for fasting. Also, I do lot of mantra jap on Shiva while on fasting and it helps to be on line.

Also, every month I started doing monthly 3 days water fasting and yearly I am planning to do have 10 days fasting during Durga Puja. “Chaitra Navratri” started yesterday and I am already 32 hours on fast and more 208 hours to go. Took kids out on half day entertainment park and also mowed the lawn for an hour , while on fast, and still full of energy.


Since I am on fast, I listen to your video for inspiration and keep getting pointers ! Thanks for this video and May God bless you a lot ! I have shared your video to friends and families !

In conjunction with this video what is y’all stance on supplements, and sea moss

April 2025🎉

This man does not want to do more cardiac intervention procedures to perform. He would rather not have to do them. He would rather people be healthy. I am proud of him for having an open mind and being a lifelong learner! As a result of not being close minded and egotistical, he has been able to help hundreds of thousands of people. The only thing I disagree with him on is that we were actually created by God with these awesome abilities. We did not evolve to somehow develop these bodily processes and functions to help us adapt to times without food. God bless this man.!
