Monk Fasting is the Most Powerful Method to Drop Fat, Add Brain Cells and Reset Sleep
Monk Fast: Unlocking 36-Hour Metabolic Ignition for Fat Loss and Cellular Repair
Master the 36-hour "Monk Fast" to force metabolic ignition, initiate deep cellular cleanup (autophagy), and profoundly reset fat-burning hormones for superior cognitive function and sleep quality.
Short Summary
- Achieve peak fat utilization by forcing your metabolism to run on stored fat between 28–36 hours.
- Ignite autophagy—the body's internal recycling system—to clear out damaged cellular components and reduce inflammation.
- Supercharge insulin sensitivity by giving the pancreas a necessary rest, preventing immediate fat storage upon refeeding.
- Increase crucial Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF) for neurogenesis, focus, and mental clarity.
- Learn a precise, step-by-step protocol for executing the fast and breaking it properly to maximize benefits.
The presenter details the precise physiological sequence that occurs during an extended 36-hour fast, which he terms a "Monk Fast." This structure reveals critical windows for metabolic shift, hormonal optimization (especially growth hormone and insulin), and profound cellular rejuvenation processes necessary for sustained health improvements.

Here’s the easiest way to do a 36 hour fast stop eating at dinner time around seven that way you’ll sleep through most of this fast. Wake up and just have a black coffee and water with electrolytes throughout the day no food then sleep, wake up and have breakfast after the 36 hours have passed and you’re done!
All I can say is there is no way a young person can truly know how it feels to be old.
I was 2/3 the way to a 20 hour fast and this motivated me to go 36.
Watching fasting videos while I'm at 35 hrs into a 36 hour fast! Oh yeah! I Feel amazing! It weirdly gives you a mind and body high!
Currently on a 36 hr fast. I love the clarity fasting brings.
I've never called it a "monk" fast but you did just describe my entire routine... Only I've done it for months at a time... Once it gets going 10lbs per week of exclusively fat loss... Maintaining solid workouts and deep meditations daily... Only eating every 36 hours and mostly eating soups with animal broth as the base... Its replaced the "calorie deficit," cutting routine I used to do in my bulk and trim cycle. I even noticed that most modern foods, delivery pizza for example, tend to look disgusting after a while... When you only eat once every day and a half, you really stop wanting to waste those meals on junk and naturally start to train your body to crave more nutrient dense or healthier options.
I do this every week I do it dry and break it with a half of lemon juice in 3 cups of warm water. Just sip. I haven’t been sick for years.
Here’s a Cortisol Lowering Meal plan that focuses on real, Whole Foods. Totally Free, just my gift to you: http://www.thomasdelauer.com/eatrealfood - consider it a thank you for watching my videos and for subbing to my newsletter!
Its called ADF, alternate day fasting is exactly that. If you are obese and have a lot to lose you do that.
I'm keto/carnivore fat-adapted and 42 hr fast weekly. Easy!
