- [Female] Conventional
medicine didn't really play
much of a role in my
healing and in the end,
actually what healed me, how
a combination of eating
really high quality foods
and the combination of not eating at all.
We're looking for the quick fix.
We're looking for that magic
bullet and this is probably
as close to an easy,
simple, free magic bullet
that ever existed.
- [Male] I got more
mobility change in two days
and my therapist, last
Thursday, my fourth day into it,
he says, "What are you doing?"
(upbeat music)
- The advice we give to cut a few calories
is a complete failure.
- If you compare a population
to a population of people who diet,
the dieters end up
weighing significantly more
than the non-dieters
five or 10 years later.
So we need to find new solutions.
- When someone does fasting,
it's very different than when
someone simply cuts calories.
- So when you fast,
you can look at studies
and you will see that
does not go down nearly as much
as the calorie restriction.
- There's always a sweet
spot for everything.
If you fast for too long, we will say,
if you got out more than say even 10 days,
your metabolism will slow and
that's what happens to people
if they try to cut calories
for a very long period of time.
Their metabolism slows and
when you start re-feeding,
you will regain the weight
and regain it very quickly.
- There's a difference in fat.
The fat that you carry around the waist
is much more dangerous for you.
This study was just published last year.
So if you look at truncal
fat mass calorie restriction
versus alternate daily fasting,
fasting was six times
better at getting rid
of the dangerous fat.
- My plan is to do a seven day fast.
In nine days, I've lost 18 pounds.
- I went seven days and
I've lost 20 pounds.
- I thought no way could I go this far
and not be hungry.
- Lots of people noticed
the past couple days
how thin that I look already.
I'm on day 21 of my 21 day
fast and I've lost 33 pounds.
- Your mind is more clear.
- You're actually gonna be more alert,
you're gonna have more
energy and more time.
- We've been skiing for three
hours and I haven't eaten
for six days and I feel plenty energized.
Woo Hoo!
I feel like I'm almost on
vacation by not eating.
- The ancient Greek mathematician,
Pythagoras, in fact,
he required his students
to fast before they came
into the classroom otherwise he thought
they wouldn't be smart
enough to figure out
what he was doing.
- So my mind feels as
good as it's ever felt.
- When you look at fasting,
it's gonna give you
the ability to do all those
things at a higher level
than you've ever done them before.
- A lot of people ask me,
"How do you stay so fit at 44 years old?"
'em in the eye and I say,
fast before fitness is the ticket.
- You're activating your body,
the sympathetic nervous
system, noradrenaline,
go up during a fast.
You actually can workout
harder than you've ever done.
- I've always worked
out on an empty stomach
in a fasted state.
- The challenges about
fasting is that there's
a lot of misinformation out there
and there are several different types.
- Whether you are talking
about an overnight fast
or you're talking about a 24 hour fast
five day or 10 day or 20 day,
people and journalists
the same word, right?
And this is very confusing
because each turns on
a completely different process.
- This is happening now
in practices like mine
all over the country and in the world,
people learning and hopefully
will all communicate
and one of the beauties
of a film like this
is that it will bring
attention to the whole concept
of fasting 'cause so many
(upbeat music)
- For the last 50 years,
we've told people,
eat six meals a day.
Eat the minute that you get up,
within 30 minutes of getting
up and make sure you eat
a bedtime snack so you don't get hungry.
The problem is when you start
eating the minute you get up
and don't stop eating until
the minute you go to bed,
you're constantly telling your body
to store food energy, right?
And you can either, only either
store it or burn it, right?
You can't do both at once.
- And even now, many personal
trainers and nutritionists
will tell, try to eat something
you are awake and if we
are awake for 18 hours,
then that's a long period of eating.
eating all the time.
So the very word itself, breakfast,
is the meal that breaks
your fast and it's actually
a very interesting word
because what it means
is that fasting is a
part of everyday life.
It's something you need
because it's the flip side of eating.
It's just the B side of eating.
There's nothing scary about fasting.
So if you fast for 12
hours and eat for 12 hours
or eat for 10 hours and fast
for 14 hours, for example,
you'll stay in balance and guess what?
That's what they did in 1960's America.
You can look back at surveys
and the average number of meals, 1977,
So I grew up in the 1970's.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, nothing else.
Snacks?
No.
Guess what?
There's no whole wheat pastas, right?
They're eating Oreo cookies.
there's very little obesity.
Now you go to 2005 and the
survey, the (inaudible) survey,
which is a large American
survey of a lot of things
including dietary habits,
says that we're eating six times a day.
So, again, look at my son's schedule -
breakfast, mid-morning snack,
dinner, oh, hey, he's playing soccer,
there's snack between
the halves of soccer,
six times a day, every single day.
So he's giving his body
instructions to store fat
every minute of that waking
day and then we wonder
why is he gaining weight?
Well, there's no mystery.
You're eating all the time.
consider starting to cook
until 7:
30 and we'd usually eat around 8.- We might get home and eat
at eight or nine o'clock
and have a big meal at
eight or nine o'clock.
- And it was a grazing after
dinner that was going on.
- It's a length of time
that you let your body
kind of burn that food that you've taken.
That's basically it.
You're giving your body time to digest it.
- If you have them continue
their same type of food intake
and about the same number of calories
but you shrink that eating time down,
they will lose weight and
they'll feel satisfied
and they won't feel miserable
because we didn't put them
on a 1,600 calorie diet.
- I've not necessarily eaten well.
I've been overweight,
sometimes up to 200 pounds.
