I watched your other video where you recommend the 16 hour fast whilst putting the eating period in the morning from 8-3pm, which version would be better, doing a 16 hour fast a day with eating from 8-3pm or the weekend fast version?
I want to know more about gut bacteria. I've taken antibiotics multiple times in my childhood and I was reading that some strains are completely wiped out that aren't found in supplements. I read that apples contain over 100000,000 bacteria does that mean more fruits contain bacteria? can I get my nine strains that I am missing back?
on a FMD you get 45% cals from carbs, 45% from fat, and only 10% protein. this is precise, because high-ish fat and little calories will get you into ketosis, which is the main purpose of fmd.
One-day fast per week is what I've been doing for some time. Unexpectedly, I feel very little hunger on day two when I break my fast usually many hours after I've woken up. So day two might actually be easier than day one, perhaps. I'll try it out and see!
Another curious thing I've noticed is I can be really hungry on other days, but on my regular scheduled fasting day, I usually experience almost no hunger. It's as if my body knows what's up and so dials back the hunger pangs.
Related to Dr. Longo's FMD product, Prolon, I purchased one "kit" , and followed the FMD for the 5 days. After that, I did what you suggested: I designed my own diet to match Prolon's nutritional profile using salads, soups, and nuts, algae based omega-3 and multi-vitamin supplements. I did that 5 day FMD for another 2 cycles.
Valter Longo has answered the last question of this video in various interviews he's done. He said that the exact formulation and ratios of the macro & micro nutrient composition is important and easy to get wrong if doing it on your own. He also said there are certain key ingredients, like the glycerin in the Prolon L-Drink that people may not know of which helps the fasting process and prevents problems.
To be honest, I don't think he makes a convincing case against most pro-active health-conscious people figuring this out themselves from regular food they can buy at the grocery store, however, we all hear funny customer support stories of clueless people doing the most insane things thinking they're following the correct directions, so if absolute compliance is needed, such as in clinical settings, then he is right to want to standardize and package the food to make things as fool proof as possible for patients. He has told anecdotes of several patients who fasted themselves to death while thinking they were following protocol.
The FMD study did not use people that are really healthy eaters already. Any diet that cuts saturated fat and animal protein is going to have positive effects. If you give FMD to really whole plant food eaters, the will be no benefit and maybe harm.
Dr can you please elaborate more on the autophagy aspect of fasting. Also if there's anything in regards to healthy to athletic people fasting eating in a 12 to 20 hour eating window daily?
Dr. Greger really missed the mark on this one. The purpose of Dr. Longo’s FMD is to get the anti-aging effects of fasting (inhibition of mTor and promotion of autophagy, etc.) without actually fasting. Not everyone can safely water fast. It’s not a weight loss protocol. Dr. Longo’s longevity diet is a whole food plant based diet.
To his credit Dr Longo gives instructions on how to do the fasting mimicking diet using plant based ingredients yourself rather than buying his five day meal plans so that anyone who wants to try it can do so with low cost whole food ingredients at home.
This whole mimicking diet salesmanship is a scam. Baby doctor Longo is donating his salary but what about his stock options or other money that might be given to other parts of his Empire
Dr. Michael Mosley did a documentary with Longo a few years ago on the effects of a mimicking fasting diet. You can find it here on YouTube (I think it's something like, "Eat, Fast and Live Longer"). It's quite interesting, and it demonstrated how using the 5:2 approach, Mosley was able to improve his health and eliminate his (pre)diabetic state. Calorie restriction does have benefits.
Thats ridiculous.. and the soups are processed foods with oils, salt, and not even low fat at all apparently and there also are vitamins supplement which showed in many studies to be often useless and/or harmful… just do some real water fast for few days once in a while, will be much better, much more efficient and much cheaper, it will probably also be easier than eating a very low calories diet…
Everyone needs an income to support themselves. Longo sells FMD eating plan and you sell books. Ive been intermittent fasting for 5 years now. It works for me.
Perhaps constant caloric restriction is promoting weight loss, but real fasting it promoting body re-composition without a big weight loss – read lose fat but keep your active body tissue
So was this saying that fasting for 5 days straight is easier and more health beneficial than fasting just 2 days each week?

I dont quite get this, is it good to do the 2 Days fast or not?
Dr. Longo's research is really interesting.
Doc, go to Rogans podcast and destroy the bs spreader please

Hi dr. Greger do you know any good master degree in plant based nutrition?
Seems the cabbage soup diet would attain the same results. Not many calories in cabbage soup.
The FMD study did not use people that are really healthy eaters already. Any diet that cuts saturated fat and animal protein is going to have positive effects. If you give FMD to really whole plant food eaters, the will be no benefit and maybe harm.
REAL VEGETABLES…Ding ding ding 🎶

Fast mimicking diet helps old people, Who uses medicine pills, and cant water fast. Do what you can. Just fast, water or fast mimicking diet

Why the random LDL study at 1:56??? Were we talking about cholesterol???

What about the fiber content of the diet? What is the total fiber content? Perhaps this of importance? What about macros?

Finally covering this! Thank you!
Definitively good to brew some tasty eating disorders.
Please talk about the new
Martin-Hopkins Calculation for LDL .
For some reason my entire family has awesome cholesterol levels now.

"Oatmeal" is such a retarded word….
Great
