This is a YouTube video titled "What is the optimal amount of time to fast?" containing a monologue by Alicia Mackey Huber recorded in December 2024. In this content, Alicia discusses fasting practices, including different fasting durations and their benefits, referencing public figures like Jack Dorsey and emphasizing flexibility based on individual goals and feelings.
It's 12 hour fasts three times a week. You start to get benefits. They don't have to be 18 or 23 hour fasts. And when I look at guys like Jack Dorsey, who is the founder of Twitter and someone who's been following my work publicly for a long time, he started fasting, but then he got to one meal a day, which is what you were doing, plus a 48 hour fast every weekend. That's over fasting. I've gotten there too. So the idea is doing the same thing every day, whether it's exercise or fasting, is probably a bad idea. It's what are my goals today? How do I feel today? What did I do yesterday? What are my plans for today? And then choosing the right amount of fast. You shouldn't be afraid of breakfast, but you should be afraid of grains for breakfast, because grains are stupid.
