Prolonged Fasting

By: Kelly Gregg MD

WHO IS ANGUS About 50 years ago this was a 29-year-old male who was grossly overweight He weighed 456 pounds. At that time there was no bariatric surgery, and the only advice was to eat less and exercise more. They did admit him to a hospital to fast for about a month. He felt great and continued his fast at home. He continued to regularly check in at the hospital clinic for laboratory monitoring. In total, he did not eat anything for 382 days and lost 276 pounds. HE LOST WEIGHT. SO WHAT? You have different metabolic states throughout the day. You have a different state if you don't eat for a couple days. It changes a week or two later, and a month or two later. This case was monitored, and we have good insight as to what happens metabolically is you do not eat for a year. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DO NOT EAT FOR A LONG TIME : For this person we can follow the lab work. He took in very few calories, that is less than 5 a day. He took in tea, coffee, and bone broth. He stated, as almost everyone does who fasts for more than a week, that he was not hungry. Over the next 5 years he gained about 15 pounds back. I have written a book Fasting and Autophagy for the Common Man in which I go into much more detail as to the subject of fasting.
