Seeing @DanaWhite’s big transformation and how good he felt after his own 86-hour fast with @GaryBrecka’s help made me want to give it a go. It seemed like a good time right after Christmas and New Year’s, to start changing my lifestyle for the better”.
Increasing anticipation amongst fans Weidman further added, “I’m working on a YouTube video to talk about everything I did and how I felt. Right now, I feel great, though there were times I got really hungry and cranky. But I’d definitely say it’s worth trying!”

How did Dana White do his 86-hour water fast? Chris Weidman isn’t the first.
Previously, Dana White completed an impressive 86-hour water fast, an undertaking he feels has bestowed upon him a sense of vitality akin to that of a superhero. Dana uploaded a reel on Instagram on November 15, 2023, where he talked about his experience of undergoing such a fast.
The fast is known as the Seven Day Water Fast, a regimen purportedly supported by medical studies that claim over 70 percent reduced risk of developing conditions like cancer and Alzheimer’s.

White’s protocol involved a gradual approach to the fast. The initial 24 hours consisted of water consumption, supplemented with electrolytes containing zero sugar, carbs, and calories. These electrolytes, which White personally vouched for, are considered a safe addition to the water.
The following day, he introduced a clean, low-calorie broth into his routine, repeating this process twice daily for the subsequent two days. This particular broth, endorsed by Gary Brecka, boasted only 45 calories, less than a gram of carbs, and around 13 grams of protein.
Throughout the next 48 hours, Dana White maintained a regimen of water with electrolytes and bone broth twice a day. He emphasized the transformative effects both internally and externally, claiming that participants can feel incredible and achieve a remarkable physical transformation.
White’s personal experience and the purported health benefits suggest that the Seven Day Water Fast could be a noteworthy wellness practice for those seeking a holistic health approach.
