Actually there is no evidence from scripture that the Sabbath was changed from 7th day Saturday to Sunday 1st day, as we know the disciples and the early church continued to observe the 7th day sabbath until 17th century when it was changed by Pope Constintine. There is no other day that is recorded where God rested, blessed and sanctified and told His church to keep(Gen 2:1-3:Heb 4:1-5, God is consistant.

Thank you Dr jockers for including this article on spiritual fasting. I want to Fast more on the Sabbath❤️🙏🏾

Thank you very much for your reply Dr. Jockers.

Hey Adrian, no this does not happen. Their is a protective mucosa in the stomach that protects the tissue from the acid. When you are fasting, your stomach acid sits in the 3-3.5 range. In order to digest protein effectively, the acid levels need to get down to 1.5-2.2. This is a very energy demanding process. When we fast, we divert that energy that is normally used for digestion into healing. The cause of stomach ulcers is not stomach acid. The cause is an H Pylori infection that weakens the mucous membrane and damages the stomach lining, gastritis and/or prescription drug side effects.

Question: It is posible to get problems with your stomach (ex: ulcer or other problems) on intermitent fasting or extended fasting? If the stomach acid has nothing to “eat”, there is posible that it will “eat” your stomach and produce gastritis, ulcer etc. ?

Hey Louis,

Yes, I would recommend if you are breaking an intermittent fast that you do it with a low-carb meal such as a protein shake without sugar (you can find protein powders that have no or very little sugar). You could also do a healthy chicken salad with olives, avocado and olive oil dressing. I would avoid drinking the milk and reduce overall dairy consumption. You can do butter, but I would take out cheese, dairy milk, yogurt, etc. as I see dairy being a significant problem for most people who are trying to lose weight.

My questions is about what to do when coming out of a fast which I have consistently struggled with typically going into a full meal for lunch around noon. You recommended protein shakes, I’ve typically avoided these and instead drink 8-16 ounces of milk with every meal and occasionally in the middle of my eating window. This was something my old trainer recommended instead of shakes since most contain large amounts of added sugars which we attempted to minimize and keep to dextrose and lactose based sugar when possible (we were trying to minimize added sugar to 10 grams or less a day). Is a cup of milk fine or is there specific shake that you recommend for breaking a fast that isn’t high in added sugars like sucrose or fructose

Great to hear that Mahendra!

Thanks Emily!

We are writing a hardcover book on Fasting but don’t have it out yet. However, you can get my Keto Metabolic Breakthrough book here: https://amzn.to/3bceTb1
