Thank you for the information. To tell you the truth I had never fasted until this month. What I am is a big believer in evolution, and food was not as plentiful as it is today. Ancient man had to go without food on a regular basis of course they didn't call it fasting. I find it hard to believe that with all the adaptations the body has made for everything, that lack of food would not have been dealt with. I became an advocate of the book "Younger Next Year' that goes into evolution, and how our bodies react to what we tell it. I will certainly check out the information you have mentioned.

google Cole Robinson & The Snake Diet...
he has tons of examples - tons of people who have shed their sagging skin through fasting...
good luck.

I can't stand that guy screaming for 5 seconds. The message is lost because of him. Why not listen to Dr. Ken D. Berry instead.

I had the same reaction with his basic diet video. His name came up on a fasting FB page about a year ago; my conclusion was he is the guy that gives fasting a bad name. We need the guidance of a medical doctor with years of experience...Dr Jason Fung.

Thank you for posting that Dr Ken Berry video, he has so many videos I haven’t seen many of them, and this one was quite useful. After reading Robert's success story, I am back to adding some longer fasts for autophagy, both for cancer prevention and loose skin. I've noticed this time that after 4 years of incorporating fasting regularly, mostly an 18:6 or 24, that even longer fasts are easy. A cup of hot tea or broth is enough if I do get hungry, my body must know now that famine isn’t around the corner.

Guess i’m Just one of the hundreds of thousands that understand what he’s trying to convey...... it works for me.

I have been doing only 2 day fasts, but now I am going to extend that up to a week. I have watched several of Dr. Fung's and Dr. Berry's videos and they are quite informative. I have also watched several videos on Dry Brushing, and although I am skeptical I am doing it. I was so close to getting it right 50 years ago when I was still in my 20s. I would only eat chicken broth, but I wouldn't do it on a consistent basis. I didn't know the science. Fasting was only something Mahatma Ghandi did. Also the FDA was saying the exact opposite of what I was thinking. Even within the last 20 years I went to a lecture by Dr. Dean Ornish and tried his diet - the only thing I lost was hair.

Sympathize with the hair comment!
There is information to point you in the right direction on the Dr. Fung thread. And the Obesity Code Facebook page is full of practical advice that we do not post on this forum.

How did this thread turn from sagging skin into fasting?

I'll share a little about my skin and as my daughters have said many times, I have great skin. They've shown me pics of friend's mothers and said, Mom she's the same age as you, look at her skin compared to yours!

So am I lucky or is it genetics IDK but I didn't even start to get wrinkles until my fifties. I first started with crows feet only a couple of years ago.

Here are my tips. I have used Nutrigena facial soap for 40 years, it's very mild. It's a clear bar sold everywhere like Walgreens or any other pharmacy.
I use Oil of Olay for the face and Lubriderm for all over body moisturizing which I do every single time after I take a bath and dry.

My mother in her 70s had great skin and she always said, don't put soap on your face. I would argue and use my nutragena soap so she said fine but I better moisturize.

In the past couple of years I have heard her advise of no soap on the face, it's been ringing in my ears even though she's gone....it's very drying and removes the natural moisture. She had such gorgeous skin that people would actually stop us when we were out in public to tell her.

One last thing, I've had 4 children and have NO stretchmarks because of the Lubriderm. It works, and does not leave a greasy feel, it totally absorbs into the skin!

Those are my tips!

My fault, see #11.

I know, I said it more with tongue in cheek. I read that link, very interesting that overweight people have more protein in the extra tissue.

I am 1/3 of the way through Dr. Fung' book on fasting, and I am on the 2nd day of a fast. I hope to make it 7 days. The health benefits even other than weight loss are amazing. I could kick myself because I was on to this 50 years ago, but I listened to the conventional wisdom of the time.
