When the System Starts Running the Founder: Three Traps for Ukrainian Entrepreneurs
«The most important thing is to understand what happiness means to you. It is the most difficult and important work»
An invited speaker at business forums, conferences, and entrepreneurial communities across Ukraine and Europe.
In his talks, Oleksandr Suvorov explores business, happiness, personal branding, Conscious Fasting, responsibility, resilience, choice, and life beyond business.
Each topic is grounded in his own experience as an entrepreneur who spent more than 30 years building a business, has been exploring personal branding for six years, and has practiced Conscious Fasting for more than 11 years.
Ukrainian entrepreneur and founder of a unique manufacturing plant PET Technologies (exports high-tech machinery to more than 60 countries around the globe). He built his business from scratch, without any investments, and after 20 years of successful management, he stepped down from the operational business, and entirely devoted himself to exploring happiness.
Oleksandr Suvorov is the author of The Happiness System, Fasting for Happiness, The Art of Fasting, Don't Push Too Hard, and Personal Branding – The Path to Self-Discovery.
In his books, he shares his personal experience and reflections on happiness, Conscious Fasting, personal branding, business, and quality of life.
Each book is dedicated to a distinct topic, yet they are all united by one central idea: people can consciously improve the quality of their lives through their own choices, consistent practices, and continuous work on themselves.
His books are neither collections of theory nor step-by-step instructions. They are rooted in lived experience and invite readers to make discoveries of their own.

Yesterday was the 10th and final day of this fasting cycle. And here’s what I’ve got to say
These 10 days didn’t quite go as I’d planned, as the main underlying feeling was lethargy. Somehow, there was no sense of elation, hyper-concentration or feeling of weightlessness. I put this down to the fact that my body might be more clogged up with toxins than it was before my last fast. I also can’t rule out the possibility that my expectations were simply a bit higher than they needed to be.
I saved a lot on food these past few days (as I didn’t buy any), missed a birthday (not my own), and listened to all sorts of scare stories from the ‘traditionalists’ (‘you’ve got to eat at least some yoghurt’ – ha ha, ‘it’s stressful, you’ve got to drink at least some sweet tea’).
Strangely enough, after the initial jibes, the team switched to a neutral, supportive tone. Every morning they check to see if I’ve kicked the bucket yet :-). We all look at each other like that every morning here – I’m used to it.
I’ve almost finished two books (I’m reading several books at once). Now I really need to ‘finish them off’ and send them back to my hometown to sit on the shelf.
I’ve lost 11 kilograms in 10 days. Not a bad result, if you ask me.
I’ve realised it’s more comfortable to fast in spring and autumn. It’s not (yet) too hot or too cold, although in spring there aren’t many vitamins around.
I won’t be taking any vitamins for now (all that magnesium and fish oil stuff). Once I’m fully back on my feet, that’s when I’ll start.
Actually, conscious fasting is a good thing. It gives you the chance to take a look at your stomach, your brain and deep inside your sphincter all at once (oh, the people in their white coats wrinkled their noses and went to fetch some Corvalol). You see all your screw-ups during your usual ‘eating’ period: all the overeating, all the fatty and spicy dishes, all the cakes and ‘Tuzik’ biscuits. All the stress-eating, drowning your sorrows in drink, and just eating when you’ve got nothing better to do. And that, in my view, is the main thing. And one more small but important question: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO next, when the long-awaited 11th (or for some, 8th) day arrives? Will you carry on? Will you finally realise that the shovel you’re burying yourself with is an extension of your own hand?
I made it out. In the morning, I ‘had breakfast’ with a cup of ayran with flaxseeds (or chia: who knows, but chia sounds nicer and goes down better with the Insta crowd). The main course was two raw carrots. And black tea. Pure bliss!!!
Today is the 10th and final day of my first conscious fast.
Before reading Mr Oleksandr’s book, my mind was dominated by fears and prejudices, reinforced by the negative experiences of those around me – one acquaintance fasted for 40 days, and on the very first day after breaking his fast, he ate so much that he was taken to hospital; he has now developed pancreatic necrosis, and the doctors have given him two years to live; another close friend decided to fast when she actually needed urgent hospitalisation, which she categorically refused. Unfortunately, this proved to be a fatal mistake.
Despite this, I remained fascinated by the subject of fasting, primarily because of my own health issues. Last summer, at the age of 38, I weighed 108 kg – a sedentary job, fast food and alcohol had taken their toll. Through my own efforts, I managed to lose almost 10 kg, but then my weight plateaued.
I devoured Suvorov’s book in a matter of hours as soon as I received it. And I waited for the most favourable moment to begin. Then, out of the blue, my wife and children went on an unplanned 10-day holiday to a camp – fate itself was pushing me towards fasting.
My main fears before starting the fast were that I’d get a headache; I’d feel exhausted; I wouldn’t be able to work; and I’d suffer and crave food. To cut a long story short, none of them came true. Importantly, I didn’t miss a single day of the programme.
Days 1–3 — despite expecting to feel extremely hungry, it turned out to be quite bearable. From time to time, I experienced a mild headache and slight weakness, which subsided after my treatments or a short nap. The hardest part turned out to be not the physical sensation of hunger, but the obsessive thoughts about delicious food. I even dreamt about it. During those days, I seriously doubted whether I’d be able to last 10 days and considered cutting the fast short to 7. The third day, incidentally, was no different from the days before or after.
Days 4–5 — the feeling of hunger had almost disappeared, but I had plenty of energy for household chores, walks and physical work. We have a private garden, where I got round to all the jobs I’d been putting off until later. I felt my thinking had become clearer. I began to research the correct way to come out of a fast – there are as many opinions and approaches as there are practitioners. I came to the conclusion that, first and foremost, one must take individual eating habits into account and adapt the process accordingly. Generally speaking, every body is unique, and every fast is different. There are common elements – procedures, crises, weight – but there are countless variations.
Days 6–7 — I reached a psychological turning point. I became convinced that I could actually complete the 10-day challenge. I’d almost lost all interest in food. But heaven forbid I should log onto social media – I’d never realised before just how much content is devoted to food! And heaven forbid I should browse through it – it instantly whets the appetite. On the seventh day, I experienced the greatest bout of weakness, often described as an acidotic crisis, but it turned out to be much milder than expected and had practically disappeared by the evening.
Days 8–10 — my body had adapted; working was no more difficult than usual. All that remained was a desire to taste food, rather than actual hunger. I felt lighter on my feet; I noticed that the heat was much easier to bear, and evening walks were a pleasure. By the tenth day, my thoughts were no longer focused on food, but on how to come off the fast properly.
Over the course of 9 days, my weight dropped from 100 to 91.6 kg — a loss of 8.4 kg.
A few conclusions and observations:
The most daunting aspect turned out to be not the physical sensations, but the psychological expectations before I began.
A short nap of 20–30 minutes during the day was brilliant for recharging my batteries.
Social media whilst fasting is a bad idea: the algorithms literally bombard you with content about food.
Due to significant fluid loss and water intake, I needed to take extra electrolytes — by about the seventh day, my legs were noticeably ‘cramping’ in the mornings.
I crave simple, unprocessed food – to taste the pure flavour of vegetables and meat. I crave sophisticated dishes, not fast food.
I’ve been practising a 36-hour fasting break on Mondays for two months now.
Yesterday was an emotionally tough day at work. I realise that it was the fast that saved me. I also did some yoga in the evening and this morning.
In the past, with that kind of stress, I might have ended up in hospital.
I’m so glad🤗 that I stumbled across your page, Oleksandr, and that very same day I ordered three books and started practising fasting – for 36 hours at the moment.
read lessHello everyone! Today marks the final 10th day of the third quarterly session. Prior to this, I’d been practising the Paul Bragg method for over 30 years, following a 1-3-5 day schedule each week. The sensations are certainly interesting… During the final 5 days, it felt as though I was merely observing those who were eating 😂. You find yourself thinking: why on earth are they shovelling ALL THAT down...? Although it’s impossible to resist a few morning treats and the occasional 1–2 glasses of my own homemade wine in the evening, and not to enjoy the high of Mindful Living... Tomorrow I’ll be following O. Suvorov’s juice-only method — I’ll be at work and will give this method a go for convenience’s sake. Also, over the second five days, I noticed a slowness in my movements and a desire not to rush anywhere — clearly the heat was taking its toll. And here’s another interesting point: on the fifth day, having lost 8 kg, I bought 3 kg of sugar from the shop. You won’t believe it — I could barely carry it home...! It dawned on me just how much I’d lightened my body, particularly my cardiovascular system, in terms of delivering oxygen-rich blood to every capillary… Wishing EVERYONE a successful journey and the joy of cleansing yourselves of all that’s unnecessary! 💓
read lessHello! I used to have a very severe ragweed allergy. Last year, I started fasting for 7 days every two months (not every month) a year in advance, and during the ragweed flowering season I only sneezed a little.
Usually, I suffered terribly throughout August and September – no exaggeration)
In my case, fasting helped.
I’m fasting again this year, so I’m hoping the allergy won’t flare up at all)
But I’ll let you know how it goes)
read lessGood evening!
Today I came to the end of my one-day fast: I feel brilliant)
Yesterday I did all my treatments, went for a lovely walk in the evening… and slept soundly
My mind was racing, but the weather added a touch of sweetness to my dreams
It’s a very useful and healthy habit
On a more spiritual note: I was looking into 16th–19th-century art. The conversation turned to the Romantic era…
And that’s when I saw myself in it all; I thought, ‘That’s where it all comes together’, and concluded that I’m a romantic. It also made me feel more at peace ))
read lessI’m 60. I thought I’d read everything there was to read, from Nietzsche to Osho and Blavatsky, but your book (I’m reading *The Art of Not Eating*) really gets to me. Thank you!!!
I’ve already bought the e-book. It’s written in a very accessible style that’s easy to read and understand – which is great. I’ve read lots of books on this subject – they were all rather dull. So I’d recommend it to anyone who thinks it’s worth reading.
read lessHello, I’ve now completed two 36-hour fasts. The second time was much easier mentally; I didn’t feel hungry at all, and I’d actually like to carry on for another couple of days. But I’ve decided to stick to the plan and take a longer break between fasts, so for now I’ll be fasting from Sunday until Tuesday morning. Thank you to Oleksandr for the books; all three are brilliant.
read lessHello everyone!) I’d like to share my experience of my 10th fast. Today is my 10th day. For me personally, it’s all going very smoothly; I’ve slept well every day, and my mood has almost always been brilliant. Perhaps this is because I’ve been living in a pine forest surrounded by animals for six years now; I eat mainly home-cooked food, which includes plenty of vegetables, herbs, berries and fruit; I practise yoga, and I walk a lot, though that doesn’t stop me from putting on a few extra kilos)) I haven’t had any major insights during the fast, although I thought there’d be some sort of epiphany)) because I went all the way to India to see a guru, spent some time there, and attended various retreats in the Carpathians, did meditation, read a lot of literature by famous people, and tried various cleansing methods based on Vasilishin, Neumyvakin and so on. Fasting is probably one of the best! It helps you realise that you can do anything – not eat, not rush, enjoy things more, and respond appropriately to all circumstances, getting rid of automatic reactions! Thank you once again to @ASuvorov_1 for having walked this path, created his own system and sharing it with others! 🙏 I can just imagine how many people, having completed the practice, look at themselves in the mirror with a smile, proud of their achievements and inner state, and grateful to themselves and to Oleksandr for the work and the programme!
read lessAbout my experience with the 36-hour fast… I’ve been practising for four years… there have been periods when I did it once a week. But there have also been times when I took a break for a month or two. The main thing is not to beat yourself up over the breaks) – everyone has their own path.🤗
The sensations varied greatly; the first few were particularly tough… I had a terrible headache and felt completely drained. My magic pill was an afternoon nap – after that, everything just fell into place.
But that was without tubage… I didn’t know about it back then).
I really relate to Alexander Suvorov’s approach, particularly the bit about mindfulness. Understanding why I’m doing this! Then it becomes a profound practice. 🫶
read lessI’ve been doing 36-hour fasts for over a year now; I used to do them on Fridays, but after reading Alexander’s books, I completed a 7-day practice and switched to Mondays. I practise every week; it’s become a habit now, and everyone close to me knows about it, so finally, no one tries to feed me))) The weekly practice gives me the chance to detoxify my body and maintain my weight. And if I miss a session – which often happens, during holidays or when I’m on holiday – I switch to a three-day fast. For some reason, it’s just easier for me that way)) Today is actually the third day, as I missed the previous two Mondays. I feel brilliant; I’d love to carry on like this until the 10th day, but I’m only set for three—I’m planning a ten-day fast for the end of September💪🏻
Morning walks have been a brilliant experience. Now I go for a walk every morning, whether I’m fasting or not. I really love it. I wake up at 5.45, go for a walk until 6.30–7.00, then do some light exercises, and I’m active all day, full of strength and energy. Another useful habit. I absolutely love it🥰
read lessTomorrow is my 53rd birthday! For the first time in my life, I’ve given myself a present – a 10-day conscious fast! And today is my first breakfast. My main goal was to lose weight and improve my health, because I’d put on weight over the last few years and couldn’t seem to shift it, even though I’m someone who exercises regularly. It really got me down, and I realised that only some sort of ‘miracle’ would shift this mountain. Then I came across an advert for Oleksandr’s book online, and after reading the first few lines, it all clicked🔥 So I didn’t hesitate for long. And it was an incredible experience, albeit not an easy one. But the exhilarating feeling of breaking free from food addiction – even when you’re cooking or looking at recipes – makes you feel like a winner🏆 Thank you, Oleksandr, for your tireless desire to make this world a better place!
read lessToday is the 7th day of the detox.
Here’s what I’ve learnt:
- Sticking to the cleansing routine really makes a difference. Last time (early June), I skipped a few days of the cleanse and ended up feeling rather unwell. This time I’m sticking to it, and physically it’s easier – I’ve got energy, I feel lively, and my physical condition and mood are noticeably better!
- I’m also starting to enjoy the fasting breaks as the seasons change. At the moment, my body is holding up well, and over these 7 days I’ve only felt hunger pangs from my stomach a couple of times. A bit of willpower helps, and everything’s fine!
But my mind and psyche are looking for a way to renegotiate! Like, ‘Look at all the gorgeous fruit, watermelons and tomatoes available right now, and you’re missing out on the season!’
The main thing is not to get drawn into that dialogue, because you’ll lose in a flash!
- You can’t step into the same river twice! It’s the same here; every subsequent time is different from the previous ones.
I remember my first 19-day experience in 2021; back then, my body was cleansing itself through my lungs, and I had to drive around with a paper cup – the phlegm was coming out in such large quantities!
Now my airways are clear and properly moisturised. But my body’s playing up in the lower back.
- What goes in must come out! Illness and healing follow the same path; there’s no turning back via a flare-up!
- This time, there’s no work with journaling or self-awareness – perhaps it’s not the right time yet. I accept this and trust the process! Thank you!
- A side effect – the reduction in weight and body size means I need to update my wardrobe!
read lessGood morning! Oleksandr, I am very grateful to you for the insights you are sharing with us! It is truly valuable. I read your book *The Art of Not Eating* in one go. It’s a very insightful and useful book. I’ve personally experienced dry fasting twice, for about 40 hours each time, and the physical renewal is noticeable, though the process itself is quite difficult.
Right now, I’ve been preparing myself for quite some time to embark on a ten-day fast, and I’m worried that I won’t be able to stick to it or that I might harm myself somehow. Something always stops me. I just want a sense of lightness in my body, in my thoughts, in my awareness – a total cleansing. I find excuses for myself – even though I realise I need to do it. It seems like something quite out of the ordinary for me. However, I think it’s just a matter of time – I’ll pluck up the courage. The support in the chat is absolutely warm. Thank you.
read lessGood afternoon.
I am 54 years old, and on Wednesday, 19 August, I undertook my first conscious 36-hour fast.
The day went smoothly: I drank 5.5 litres of water, carried out all my usual routines, and it was only in the evening that I developed a headache and started to feel chilly.
I slept in warm clothes.
The next day, I had to go to the toilet very frequently (apologies for the details), I had a headache all day and felt cold.
Today is Friday, and I feel completely different: an incredible lightness, nothing hurts, I’m not shivering, and my body feels really good.
In 36 hours — down 800 grams 😊
I picked up a book from the post office today; I’m reading it and can’t put it down.
Thank you, Alexander, for your experience, for your hard work, and for the inspiration to become a better person 😊
P.S. I’ll continue to practise conscious fasting in the future.
read lessToday I finished my 36-hour fast. I’m absolutely delighted with how I feel and incredibly grateful that you’ve come into my life. It’s an incredible feeling of lightness that I simply can’t put into words. Thank you.
I’ve bought the book and can’t wait to get ready for the 10-day fast.
The fast itself went smoothly; the hardest part was the procedures, but I got through them.
read lessMy second Conscious Fasting set. It went extraordinarily smoothly—filled with euphoria, joy, and pleasure. Countless insights and answers. Decision-making feels effortless; you clearly see where people are being insincere with you.
Hunger was present only on the first day; after that, everything was totally fine.
Along with water, I started taking sorbents—there are just too many toxins coming out. Tomorrow I'm planning a smooth break-fast transition. I will report back later on my shift toward conscious food consumption tailored specifically to what my body needs.
After a long period of consuming sweets, pastries, low-quality fats, fast food, and coffee, my blood vessels became fragile. Now they need repairing, which is a significantly longer process.
The body has the capacity to heal itself. You just need to provide it with the right building blocks: intuitively choosing fresh, high-quality ingredients. You don't put slop in a Ferrari.
I kept the book "The Art of Fasting. Conscious Fasting" with me at all times, so I have no further questions left.
read lessI’m just finishing it now – even though I bought it for my husband – it’s brilliant that it’s all based on real-life experience rather than just dry theory; it’s really easy to get into 🔥🔥🔥
read lessI’m reading the book *The Art of Not Eating*. (The paper version.) Yes. It’s mine. Only someone who’s truly self-aware and enlightened could come up with a title like that. Brilliant!
Alexander, thank you so much for this experience.
Those seven days of fasting were not just some sort of experiment for me, but more like getting to know myself. I felt wonderful; for the first time in a long while, I allowed myself to pause, to stop living in a constant rush and to finally listen to my inner self. It gave me a clear understanding of where to go next and what to pay particular attention to in terms of my health.
What struck me most were the test results. After many years of my insulin levels being practically non-existent (my blood sugar was normal, I didn’t have diabetes, but all the tests simply showed a reading of less than two), today I’m shocked by the results, because it has now appeared within the normal range. For me, this was a very significant and inspiring result, which gave me even greater faith that the body has enormous potential for recovery if the right conditions are created for it.
It was an invaluable experience. I’ll definitely be repeating this fast once a season, as it’s not just about physical cleansing, but also about the chance to reset, get in touch with myself, slow down and reconnect with my body.
Thank you so much for your knowledge, support and guidance on this journey!
read lessGood afternoon!
Thank you for the book) It’s nice to realise that I’ve intuitively arrived at a worldview similar to the one I see in this book, written by a successful person with a wealth of practical experience and knowledge) I haven’t quite grasped everything in the book, of course, but I’ve picked up a couple of ideas on what to read next)
I’d like to add something about focus. A thought occurred to me when I shared what I’d read with a student. She said she found it difficult to think about the concept of happy moments when problems at work become so pressing.
read lessI’ve already bought the e-book. It’s written in a very accessible style that’s easy to read and understand – which is great. I’ve read lots of books on this subject – they were all rather dull. So I’d recommend it to anyone who thinks it’s worth reading.
read lessI’ve finished my conscious fast/break🌞
I came out of it yesterday, very carefully, bearing in mind all the mistakes I made last year – which led to both weight regain and gut problems. That’s why I’m taking it step by step.
The result: a reset for my mind, body and senses, and new plans for life.
The process wasn’t easy, but the intentions I set before the break gave me the strength and the ability to keep going.
For inspiration: a total reduction of 58 cm in measurements and a weight loss of 6 kg.
Thank you to myself, to God, and to Mr Oleksandr for the inspiration and the community ❤️🙏

read lessHere is a natural, fluent English translation that captures the warm, personal, and conversational tone of the original post, polished for an English-speaking audience while preserving every detail and nuance:
A bit of my story for those who are hesitating to try a 36-hour food pause. I’ve been practicing since April.
After Easter, due to overeating (because I wasn't just eating, I was devouring everything in sight), I broke out in a rash on both arms. After four days of doctor visits—bloodwork, pills, ointments—nothing helped; in fact, more spots kept appearing, my sleep was terrible, and the itching was unbearable.
On Sunday, I tuned into a live stream with Oleksandr Suvorov and Liliia Pertsiia, and that very day I started a 36-hour food pause. We ordered three of Mr. Oleksandr’s books that same day.
Monday was unusual. I have a desk job, so I didn't move much, but after work, I came home and started doing household chores, and my condition improved. I went to bed and fell asleep almost instantly. And I slept straight through until morning. When I looked at my arms the next morning, saying I was surprised would be an understatement. The itching was gone. I saw immediate results, and within a few days, everything cleared up completely. There were spots for a little while longer, but then they disappeared too.
When the books arrived, I devoured all of them (the books are a whole other story in themselves—it felt like they were written specifically for me), and I immediately felt the urge to go for a 7–10 day fast. However, as I've mentioned before, I have thyroid issues.
This past Monday, I went in for a 3-day fast, working through all of those days.
Day 1: Passed like any other Monday (it’s different every time), but by now, it feels as natural as brushing my teeth.
Day 2: Was easier than the first, though I felt a bit sluggish.
Day 3: Starting in the middle of the night and into the morning, I was bothered by heart palpitations and nausea, which eventually led to vomiting bile (pardon the details 😌). Just a couple of minutes later, I felt great. I spent the whole day at work and got a ton of things done, especially since today I'm officially on vacation.
The first time I read the book, I breezed through it and mistakenly remembered that the 4th day was the hardest. Yesterday, I reread it more carefully and realized it's actually the 3rd day that’s the toughest. Maybe I accidentally tricked my brain into expecting the struggle on Day 4, which is why Day 3 went so smoothly.
This morning, I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast—slowly, without rushing anywhere. Food genuinely tastes completely different now—much richer and more vibrant. It's hard to put into words; you just have to experience it yourself.
On Monday, the scale read 51.5 kg (113.5 lbs); today, it showed 47.7 kg (105 lbs).
When I first started doing 36-hour fasts after winter and the holidays, I weighed 56 kg / 123.5 lbs (I'm 5'1" / 154 cm and 55 years old), and within 1.5 to 2 months, I dropped to 50–51 kg (110–112 lbs). Weight loss was no longer my goal. In fact, significant weight loss slightly scares me and keeps me from trying longer fasting periods.
During the 3-day fast, I had some concerns about my focus while driving. Yesterday, after 10 PM (I almost never drive at night), I had to make an urgent run to the border to pick up a friend, and I needed to get back before the curfew. I managed just fine and pulled into my driveway at 12:05 AM.
Now, I'm rushing off to Latin dancing! 💃
I guess I got a bit carried away here 🤔 There are still so many positive changes I want to write about.
I can only imagine 💁🏻♀️ how many incredible transformations happen after 7–10 days!
read lessHello!
It’s the third day since finishing the 10-day course.
I popped in quickly as soon as I’d finished reading the book.
This morning, whilst out for a walk, I noticed a different lightness in my movements!
The course went differently from day to day; there were days when I felt really good, and there were days when I felt quite rough.
I suppose days 7–9 were the hardest. I felt a certain weariness from exhaustion.
That said, I feel great now!
Thank you!
Thank you, Oleksandr, for the practical advice presented in plain language!
I read it — agreed with it — did it — and got my result!
read lessGood morning. Today marks the end of my 10-day conscious fast, and my husband’s 7-day fast. I feel absolutely brilliant! Thank you for the book *The Art of Fasting*, which is a real guide on how to do everything without harming your health!
The first time I came out of the fast, I strictly followed the menu and had no complications; I plan to stick to it this time as well. Conscious fasting is a powerful reset; that’s probably why my brain constantly wants to return to this state.
read lessHello, Oleksandr! Just a minute ago, I finished reading your book, ‘The Happiness System’. I spotted this book in a shop quite by chance… but we all know that coincidences aren’t really coincidences 😊 Your book was a breath of fresh air… it was so easy to understand, I read it in one go… I’m absolutely delighted and so grateful to you 😊♥️
read lessDear Alexander and dear community!
I would like to share my experience with you and express my immense gratitude to Alexander for his work. In January, I bought the book *The Art of Fasting. Conscious Fasting*, and it proved to be a turning point that has significantly changed my life.
I had previously tried short 24-hour fasts once a week. But after reading the book, I decided to try a 3-day fast. To my surprise, it went smoothly and without any stress. This inspired me to take a more serious step: on 23 February, at the start of Lent, I began a 7-day fast. The result was not only weight loss but also a complete reset: I gave up alcohol, snacking and baked goods, and instead my diet became rich in fish and vegetables. Even my taste buds started working differently! Now I’ve introduced a 36-hour fast every Monday and added plenty of exercise: running, kettlebells, tennis.
Recently, as planned, I undertook another 7-day fast to consolidate my progress. Today is the first day of coming out of it. I felt absolutely brilliant (apart from the second day) — I’ve got a massive burst of energy and my mind is crystal clear. Every morning — a walk, some exercises, a kettlebell routine — and my productivity at work has skyrocketed. This morning I didn’t even feel hungry, but I made my first breakfast a proper, mindful meal.
My overall result: from 23 February until today, my weight has dropped from 100 kg to 82.8 kg! Of course, this is the result of a comprehensive approach that includes regular exercise, but without your guidebook, Oleksandr, I certainly wouldn’t have been able to make this journey with such confidence and safety. I still can’t quite believe I’ve managed it!
Alexander, thank you so much for your hard work, support and sincere desire to help people become healthier!
And to all the members of our group, I wish you faith in your own abilities, perseverance and harmony. May this journey bring you not only physical health, but also incredible lightness and joy every day. We’ve all come together here for self-improvement, and each of our results is the best motivation to keep going!
Thank you for being here!
read lessHello! Today marks my 10th day of conscious fasting. As this is my first time, it feels quite interesting. I started straight away after reading the book. To be honest, I began with 60-hour and 36-hour fasts. The hardest part of the session was the morning of the fourth day: my hands were shaking and my legs felt like lead. But water, meditation and fresh air did the trick. The 9th day was the best: I had loads of energy and got loads of things done. And that’s despite the fact that throughout the whole session I went to work, went to the pool, did fitness and stretching. Physically, I’ve lost 6 kg and my bunion has shrunk. As for my mental state, insights and goals, I’ll hold off on those for now; let them unfold. On the 10th day, I felt the urge to carry on, but no! (it wasn’t on the agenda). The only thing I didn’t do was a deep clean; I hope to do that when I leave. My constant companion was a hot water bottle – in bed, during the enema, and for the colonic irrigation. My husband joked: ‘You’re clinging to it like Tuzik with his hot water bottle.’ And the funniest thing is that I was actually born in the Year of the Dog.
Thank you, Mr Oleksandr, for sharing your experience and for your support in the chat.
read lessHello, everyone!
With this 7.5 km evening walk, I’m kicking off my three-day food fast. This is my third time doing it.
Following your advice, Oleksandr, I started keeping a diary after the last one.
I’ve already jotted down my first insight after the walk. And it’s not an abstract idea at all. A very timely insight. I’ve noted it down as a task to be done.
Thank you for the book, for sharing your experience, for being here, and for creating this space! 🫶
read lessHello!
I’ve just received the book, read it, and have even started fasting – it’s already day 3! The link to the group came at just the right time – I’m a bit worried about whether I’m doing OK and how I’ll come out of this.
Thank you for the book and for sharing your experience!
read lessGood afternoon
I’ve read your book *Don’t Push Too Hard*
Thank you very much; well done
Hello! I’d like to thank Oleksandr and the group once again for this experience! The first breakfast of lettuce leaves drizzled with orange juice was incredible, and the kefir was so delicious...
I wish you all good health and success in mastering the ‘art of fasting’
read lessGood afternoon, dear hunger strikers!
I’d like to share my experience. I’m 56 years old. I’m a doctor.
For the past five years, I’ve had high cholesterol due to an excessive intake of sweets. During this time, I’ve put on an extra 10 kilograms on my petite frame. Every day, this had a huge impact on my mood and self-esteem. But the reason for the fast wasn’t even that; it was the state of my nervous system. I started experiencing anxiety and panic attacks; there were so many chaotic thoughts in my head, it was like a computer full of viruses. It was hard to concentrate or put my thoughts into words. I started forgetting the names of my medicines. And one day I said—I need to fast!
My husband used to practise short, 1–3-day eating breaks. And I remember how he felt.
I used to find it hard to go even a single day without food. I’d get dizzy, light-headed, and hypoglycaemic.
The universe (and our phone) hears our thoughts and starts feeding us information.
I watched lots of videos and read the book *The Art of Not Eating* by the esteemed Mr Oleksandr.
Let me put it this way: if the decision is CONSCIOUS, then our intelligent body knows what to do and remains grateful for the opportunity to cleanse, rejuvenate and reboot.
I fasted for 10 days and wasn’t hungry a single day!
Before, I used to drink 1 glass of water in the morning, 1 coffee and 1 tea throughout the whole day. Now water has become a miraculous, essential drink for me. The first few days I craved herbal teas, as I still wanted some flavour. From the 4th day onwards — only water.
Everything I’d been dreading during the fast—dizziness, light-headedness when standing up suddenly, hypoglycaemic tremors, headaches, stomach aches, calf muscle cramps—none of it happened!
That’s what it means to come to an agreement with your body! The mantra really helped!
I was active the whole time, working, walking more than usual, going to the sauna and having a massage (I hadn’t had one for 8 years).
I made sure to do all the evening routines, and on days 9 and 10 I was really pleased with what hadn’t survived in my gut.
If I were to rate the whole 10 days, the hardest for me were days 2 and 3; I felt tired in the evenings and wasn’t in the best of moods. But after that — pure bliss!
I actually wanted to extend the session to 14 days, but I didn’t agree on that with my body. Next time!
Now I’m sitting in a consultation and want to tell people — don’t work for pharmaceutical companies! You need to fast!
All in all, I’ve lost 7 kilos and I’m also very happy about that!
I am sincerely grateful for this experience: to myself, for cleansing my body in such a simple way; to my body, for being so intelligent and knowing what to do; to the esteemed Mr Oleksandr for his guidance; and to the whole chat of like-minded people!
Good luck to everyone and new achievements! Only we can take care of our earthly bodies!
read lessGood afternoon, everyone!
I’d like to share my thoughts on my first experience of the 10-day programme.
Today is my first day out – I’m feeling euphoric and elated :)
As for how it felt – the first day was tough: I had a terrible headache, felt weak, and was unsure of what would happen next; I felt anxious and irritable, and in the evening I snapped at my family :)
After that, I felt more stable, with a normal physical and emotional state.
My sleep was like it was when I was a child – deep and restorative.
My muscle tone was a bit lacking, but overall my physical activity increased by one and a half times compared to when I was eating normally (from 10–12 steps to 15–20 a day). To think less about food, I kept myself busier with physical activities at work. That way I got more done, as coffee breaks, cigarette breaks and lunches were no longer on the agenda.
I cooked meals at home without any trouble – it was actually a real treat – whilst cooking, you breathe in all the aromas deeply, and that satisfies you a little.
I watched lots of programmes about food from around the world – that was nice too :)
What bothered me more wasn’t the fasting itself (my body felt fine), but the inability to join in with family and friends’ meals, and of course the inability to enjoy food and coffee (I just love them so much).
I didn’t experience any acidotic crisis – everything went smoothly.
Lost 8kg (93-85)
I had absolutely no desire to extend the fast :) But I plan to repeat the 10-day fast in the future, and I also plan to introduce a tradition of a weekly 36-hour fast (as a weekly indulgence for a wild weekend :) ).
To be honest, I expected it to be harder – it was all a breeze, apart from that one procedure, blimey :)
A big thank you to Oleksandr 🤝 for the simple, step-by-step instructions, the support in the chat and the explanations – I’d imagined this would be a much tougher challenge. I actually bought the book on a whim, as just another weight-loss guide for foodies, and look how it turned out :)
Fellow readers, I wish you all inspiration and good health!
P.S.
Over 10 days, I dreamt about sausage twice, sweets once (3 of them – I ate them in my dream), black bread and a meat and cheese puff pastry roll once each (I ate those in my dream too) :)
It’s been ages since I’ve had so many dreams :)
read lessGood afternoon. It’s my first day out after 10 days. Everything is on top form—my feelings, my emotions, my body… As they say, you won’t understand until you try it. Thanks to Oleksandr for the guidebook, and most importantly for the instructions—it’ll all be easy and a real buzz.
read lessGood evening, I’ve started reading your book *The Art of Not Eating*… it’s brilliant… thank you for your time and your advice; I tried going 38 hours without food yesterday, and I feel absolutely brilliant, 😊💪 I didn’t want it to end, but everything in good time.
read lessGood evening!
Just checking in. Day 5 of conscious fasting.
For some reason, day 4 was harder for me than day 3. I felt a stronger urge to eat something, especially as I’m cooking for the whole family. I even dreamt last night that I’d eaten a piece of cheese and got really upset when I remembered I was fasting. 🙈🙈🙈
Thank goodness it was just a dream!
Everything’s fine. I’m sticking to the routine; last night I had a sauna with jazz, just like being on holiday at some luxury hotel)🤩
Generally speaking, the busier I am, the easier it is to get through it all. Of course, without straying from the list of mandatory fasting procedures!
Thank you, Oleksandr, for the Universe bringing us together
read lessHello! 🙌
Today marks the end of my seven-day mindful fasting session. Was it difficult? Only on the third day did I have a severe headache and feel so nauseous I was on the verge of vomiting. I added a few drops of lemon juice to my water – that made it a little easier. On all the other days I felt great; I had absolutely no desire to eat, even though I was cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner every day for two little gluttons🤪
It was on the third day that I dreamt I was eating a cheburek with cabbage, and then I remembered I was fasting and burst into tears; I woke up because I was crying😂
It was a really cool experience! Will I do it again? Definitely yes! I’ll keep doing the 36-hour fast every week and am already planning a ten-day session for the end of summer.
Thank you to Oleksandr for the books, for his experience, for the advice and support here in the chat; it was thanks to him that I plucked up the courage. What’s more, by setting an example, I’ve already encouraged two more friends to try conscious fasting!
Every day I did all the water treatments, went for a walk, exercised, and kept a diary. However, I didn’t get any answers to my questions or any insights; perhaps for that, you need to be alone at least sometimes to hear yourself and your thoughts, but with small children 24 hours a day, that’s impossible) amidst the constant ‘Mum-Mum’ – it’s a bit tricky😂
I lost 5 kilos. Although it wasn’t a priority for me, as my weight was already within the normal range, the biggest bonus was that the love handles and tummy I’d been unable to get rid of after my second child—no matter how much I exercised—finally disappeared!
I have to admit – my life won’t be the same as it was before) this session has changed me🥰
read lessI fasted for 11 days.
It was tough for the first 1–3 days, as I was used to eating. But after that, it was bliss – no aches and pains, no nausea, and I wasn’t tired. It’s true!!!
It’s worth a try, but you need 1.5 litres of water.
It went well, and I felt great...
read lessI’ve started reading it and I’m really enjoying it. I’m underlining the bits that strike me as important, and I feel like underlining almost everything.
- Almost 48 hours of conscious fasting. The process is ongoing.
Fasting is not only a physical but also a powerful spiritual practice that is accessible to almost everyone.
It brings about positive changes in physical health, increased energy and mental clarity. Where there is focus, there is result.
I recommend reading the book ‘The Art of Not Eating: Conscious Fasting’ by my friend Alexander Suvorov
read lessFor the first time in my life, I completed a 7-day fasting course with a group.
The first 3 days were full of energy and I was on cloud nine. The euphoria was off the charts. My physical and mental state was at its absolute best. The treatments went really well too.
The next four days – until lunchtime I was still in a brilliant mood, but after lunch – especially when it came to the treatments – something inside me started to block me and wouldn’t let me cleanse my beloved body. I couldn’t even drink more than 1–1.5 litres of water, because I felt sick and had a lump in my throat. And it was in this state that I analysed why this was happening, what was triggering this resistance, and came to the conclusion (through forgiveness) that the problem lies deep within me, in my closed-off nature, my fear of changing my life in every aspect, of letting go of people I feel uncomfortable with, of trying to please everyone…
But it’s good that these insights came to the surface because of this discomfort. A radical (for me) goal for 2026 has been set. I’m moving forward.
Health – at 42, my joints started to ache, and this really alarmed me (because I remembered how my grandmother suffered from this…).
Result: thanks to daily physical exercise during the fast, I don’t feel even the slightest pain.
Weight – before the fast, I set a goal that my weight wouldn’t drop below 44 kg (as I started the fast weighing 48 kg). And I was shocked that the programming in my head worked so well.
First and foremost, I’d like to thank Oleksandr, who crossed my path in life; it is precisely his way of thinking and lifestyle—which I find so inspiring—that have led me to set myself the goal of changing my mindset, and this is only possible by altering my eating habits and, undoubtedly, through occasional fasting.
I am grateful to the group, which supported me and kept me on track. Because I didn’t want to be weaker than anyone else, and that really kept me on my toes. The people in the group are very different, and that gave me the realisation: just be yourself and it will be easy for you.
- Will I continue the practice?
- Yes.
- In what form?
- My subconscious will tell me whether in a group or individually.
I am not advocating or promoting fasting as a cure for anything. Because, as Oleksandr says, it really must be a CONSCIOUS choice.
The only thing I urge you to do is listen to yourself: are you truly living your own life? Only then will you realise whether fasting or some other retreat is right for you.
Thank you!

Good afternoon! I’m on my fifth day of fasting. I’ve decided to do a ‘dry’ fast this time, just to try it out. All my previous fasts went very well. I had plenty of energy. I’m planning a 10-day fast and want to spend one of those days without water.

-5 kg, blood pressure’s normal.
Thanks, Alexander, for your support
read lessHi there! I took part in a 36-hour fast. I did it on Tuesday. I’m coming out of it now)
I used to fast once a week for about 40 hours when I was a teenager. I combined it with winter swimming. It was brilliant 😎 Then came over 10 years of pregnancy and breastfeeding)) (4 children), so I drifted away from it a bit, and then everyday life just took over... Just a couple of weeks ago, I remembered this invaluable experience again; I’ve already fasted three times for 36 hours each. I always thought that for such a short period, no special knowledge was needed, but I suppose my phone overheard my conversations) and started showing me adverts. I started reading, got hooked)) And I’m joining in

You’re absolutely brilliant!
A truly inspiring and motivating performance!
Hi everyone)
Today marks day 10. As Alexander wrote in his book, I felt today that I could carry on, but I’d planned for 10 days and I’m sticking to the plan.
This is my first conscious fast. Everything went smoothly; there were a few minor issues with enemas, but that was on the first day – by the second day, everything was fine). I feel full of energy and positively charged.
I recorded all my thoughts in a diary; I felt very calm and balanced throughout the whole process.
I wanted to thank Oleksandr for the experience he’s sharing – it’s very motivating and inspiring, helping me to understand myself better and sort everything out.
I wish everyone success and a great, positive experience from the process! 💪🇺🇦

Hello!
I thoroughly enjoyed every page I read 😊.
I bought the book when I was leaving my job after 20 years of service. So every topic was particularly relevant to me.
The theme of living in the moment, living in the flow… resonated with me the most.
Thank you to the author for the book.
It would be interesting to work with Alexander. I find his principles appealing.
THANK YOU!!!🙏

I cook for the children at home without any fuss
It actually helps me to go through with the ritual

read lessHello everyone!
I’m currently on my 9th session of conscious fasting.
I’m now following a 7/7/7/7 cycle — it’s the third day of the third 7-day stretch (7+7+3). I’m feeling absolutely on fire 🔥
My previous session lasted 10 days.
Since October, I’ve also started swimming in the river every day — the lowest air temperature was -27°C, and the water was +2°C. It’s a whole new level of sensation and self-control.
I recommend everyone try something new for themselves — it really opens up a whole new state of being.
Have a lovely day, everyone!
And for those who practise this — have an easy break 💪
read lessGood afternoon! The book is a very light and enjoyable read. As I’m also from Chernihiv and was there in February–March 2022, it felt like coming home. The moment that stuck with me most was when Oleksandr described his home as a sacred place, and how it gave him so much energy. I don’t live in a house, but in a flat, and I also consider it my place of peace and strength. I plan to buy the book *The Art of Fasting* in the future. It really speaks to me.
read lessGood morning!
Today marks the seventh day of my conscious fast. I began the practice straight after reading the book. This is my first time doing this. Overall, everything is going well, as I’m following all the necessary procedures. I’ve noticed a lot of interesting things during this session, and I think I’ll continue with fasts of this duration in the future.
read lessGood afternoon. Today marks the 8th day of my food fast. I’d planned on 7 days, but I feel so good that I’ve decided to extend it to 10 days. Days 1 and 2 were the hardest; I had a headache, even though I’d previously made 36-hour food fasts a regular part of my routine. On the third day, I expected my condition to worsen, but it didn’t. From the very beginning, I was even afraid to say out loud that I planned to fast for seven days; I didn’t know if I could do it. I managed it. The main thing, as Alexander writes in his book *The Art of Fasting*, is to get your mindset right!
read lessI bought your book in January – it’s full of really useful and interesting information!
Thank you for sharing your experience; I hope as many people as possible learn about the wonderful benefits of fasting.

I go on a 36-hour fast to restore my balance

read lessOn mindful fasting and a new programme for my body
I recently read Alexander Suvorov’s book *The Art of Not Eating: Mindful Fasting*.
A book I wholeheartedly recommend. No fluff, no unnecessary theories — just clear steps, straightforward explanations and logic that resonates with my body and my experience.
I’ve been interested in therapeutic fasting for a long time.
In my time, just like Alexander, I read Paul Bragg, experimented, tried various protocols, and closely observed my body’s reactions.
And now I am increasingly seeing a simple truth: conventional medicine often treats the symptoms, but not the cause, and many people’s trust in it is waning. We are beginning to understand that our bodies have incredible potential for self-healing. The main thing is not to let things get out of hand and not to interfere with the body doing its job.
This is exactly what Oleksandr offers:
measured, mindful practices that gradually clear away what prevents us from living with energy, strength and clarity.
What does fasting offer?
Brain energy.
Clarity of thought.
Lightness of body.
The ability to live fully and create.
After reading this, I decided: in the near future, I will fast for at least 36 hours — the very practice the author recommends.
Then — preparation for a 7-day fast, and who knows, I might even build up to 10 days.
That’s my plan for next year.
My personal challenge.
My tool for caring for my body and maintaining mental clarity.
By the way, Oleksandr has a website (https://aleks-suvorov.com/programs) where you can find out about his programmes — I recommend having a look if this topic interests you.
And so, I invite you to join me.
Perhaps this will become your new path to lightness, health and renewal.
The body always knows what to do.
The main thing is to learn to listen to it.
read lessHello, I’d also like to share my experience of fasting in the group mentored by Oleksandr.
I completed 7 days of mindful fasting.
And honestly — it was one of the best gifts I’ve ever given myself.
It’s not just about food.
It’s about the body, the mind and one’s inner state.
Over those days, I realised just how dependent we really are on food…
and how overrated it is in today’s consumer society.
When you take food away —
your mind becomes clear,
you feel calm inside
and you reach a whole new level of connection with yourself. That’s something I particularly miss in our fast-paced world.
The body starts to function differently.
You begin to feel it, rather than simply ‘throwing fuel’ at it.
And the main thing is this realisation:
we need far less than it seems. But it’s not just a question of quantity, but of quality too. After mindful fasting comes mindful consumption: of food, communication, thoughts, information…
In conclusion:
mindful fasting is a highly underrated tool.
And I will certainly keep saying this.
To everyone 🧡
read lessMy thoughts on the 7-day fast.
It took me a very long time to get ready for this. A year ago, I bought a course on the 36-hour practice, but I never quite found the time. Over the past year, I’ve realised that the fasting practice introduced by Oleksandr is the one that appeals to me most. Alexander’s explanations and the feedback from the ‘Fasting for Happiness’ chat group were very inspiring. I found the seven-day course in mindful preventive fasting quite easy, considering my fears. Only the sixth day was difficult for me in terms of my mental and emotional state. But on the seventh day I felt elated and worked in the garden for several hours. Overall, I am very pleased with myself and the results. On the final seventh day, I came to the conclusion that in life I have many responsibilities towards my family and those close to me. In other words, I realised that I have no time for myself. I will work on clearing my space and surroundings. Also, on the final day, I set myself the task of conducting my next fasting session at a sanatorium-style facility and undertaking weekly 36-hour fasts. I am grateful to Oleksandr and every member of the group for the time we spent together. The morning meetings were a great help; they provided support and kept me on track. Spending time with a group of young, intelligent, and determined individuals who have already clearly defined their purpose in life is both uplifting and inspiring. Thank you to Oleksandr for implementing the fasting programme and promoting it among the public. And as Yevhen noted, fasting is invaluable in our lives. Until we meet again.
read lessI completed a 7-day fasting course in a group led by Oleksandr.
I chose the group deliberately, without a second thought, as I needed moral support for the 7-day fast. The group was really interesting and fun, as it was made up of completely different people with very different needs.
The fast went smoothly and in good spirits; the morning Zoom sessions with Oleksandr were particularly energising for the whole day, during which each participant shared what was troubling them most and Oleksandr provided professional feedback (drawn from his wealth of life experience).
Today is the fourth day since I came out of the fast, and the positive energy is still keeping me going.
If anyone is planning to have this experience, I definitely recommend taking this step to assess your condition, feelings and adrenaline from your own experience. I will definitely continue with this practice!
A huge thank you to Oleksandr for his advice, inspiration and experience. It’s incredibly valuable to undertake a fasting practice in a group with such a brilliant mentor 🔥🔥🔥

Have a lovely day ☀️
read lessI’d like to share my thoughts on O. S.’s book *The System of Happiness*. Alexander reveals a profound truth: ‘You yourself create your state of mind, your life and your happiness. And it all starts with the small decisions you make today.’
The book clearly shows that happiness begins with taking responsibility. As long as a person looks for reasons outside themselves — in other people, situations or the past — they lose control over their state of mind. But the moment they take responsibility for themselves, the freedom to change their life appears. Through maintaining discipline, controlling your thoughts and living mindfully, you are already in a state of happiness regardless of external circumstances. Living in the moment: true life is here and now. Record your happy moments (HM) in a journal every day. And read them back once a week.
Quote: ‘Happiness isn’t what happens to you, but how you experience it.’
#myawareness: “Happiness is not a goal to be achieved — it is a state that needs to be practised every day. And it comes with the right way of life, when a person chooses to be happy today.”
Thank you, Oleksandr!

And we can start this process at the cellular level.
It's very interesting!

Yesterday, I read just a few pages as a preview. I expect to receive useful advice, because this kind of masculine presentation is clearer and less ‘watered down’.
read lessToday, I practise 36-hour fasting every week.
And quite often I go through deeper periods — from 5 to 10 days.
The result is visible on my face.
And it can be seen in photos without filters.
My body has been cleansed. My skin has calmed down. I feel a completely different level of energy and clarity.
And at the same time, I don't live a life of restrictions. I am not an ascetic. I am not a fan of extremes.
At one time, I was a vegetarian for three years.
I didn't eat meat. I didn't drink alcohol.
I tried raw food. Different diets. Different approaches.
I was searching.
And today I can say that each of us finds our own path.
Thank you, Alexander, for appearing on my earthly path at the right moment.
read lessHello everyone! I read the book in one go. Thank you, Oleksandr, for the wonderful motivation and clear explanations!
I’m 54 years old and work as a podiatrist — it’s a sedentary job. On top of that, we’ve been without electricity and heating for a whole month. The flat was at $+7.5$ °C. The cold put me into ‘hibernation’ mode: I slept, ate and worked. I couldn’t be bothered with housework — it was very cold, and the days were short, so I spent the rest of the time by torchlight.
Unfortunately, this showed on the scales: +5 kg. That’s a first in my life! When I saw your book, I immediately realised I needed to start fasting and change my eating habits. I have a sweet tooth in the morning: I absolutely must have a cake or a couple of marshmallows with my coffee or tea 😁.
The days have got longer, and I’ve got my energy back straight away. I’ve planned a holiday to coincide with my fast starting on 1 April, so I’m really looking forward to that day. The people around me don’t approve of such practices, but my children are supportive, and that’s a comfort. To everyone who’s going through this, I wish you good health and the results you’re hoping for!”
read lessThere was a lump I didn’t know about, so I went on a fast. It was removed in 2023. My hormone levels are now back to normal, and the doctors have no objections, so I’m continuing with the fast. I had a check-up this year — everything’s fine, thank goodness!
read lessGood afternoon! Mr. Alexander, thank you for the book, it came into my life at a very necessary moment. This topic was very interesting, but I still had many questions. The beginning of fasting + my personal attitude + your book - all together became an impetus for action. I went through seven days of conscious fasting. I couldn't isolate myself, as I was busy at work every day. I didn't even think it was possible!!! The hardest part is explaining to people around you why you're not eating, but fasting helped with that. Today is the first day after my fast. In the morning, I drank diluted vegetable and fruit juice. Thank you.
read lessGood day, everyone!
Thank you for the audio accompaniment and answers to my questions! Very timely 🙏🏻
I received the book yesterday, read it, and today is my first day of fasting. I immediately felt very positive about it.
read lessThe book is motivating 💯 and written with heart and soul and a desire to help! Thank you, Alexander!
I'm fasting. Today is the second day. It's surprisingly easy. Maybe it's the fast, maybe it's the book that got me in the right frame of mind.
Hello, everyone. The book is very well written. It's easy to read. Thank you, author!
I've been thinking about fasting for a long time. Now it's time to take action ✌️💪💪
Good afternoon.
I would like to thank you for the book “Don’t Push Too Hard” Four months ago, a friend of mine recommended it to me. The impact it had on me was truly remarkable.
Before I started reading it, I was not in a very good psychological state. There were many problems at work and a lot of other challenges (I am a partner and manage a development company in Kyiv). As a result of reading the book, I began to see the outcomes of my work during the war in a completely different light. The anxiety and constant fear disappeared. It felt like some kind of magic.
I started perceiving life differently.
After finishing the book, I asked my friend why he had decided to recommend it to me. He said he felt that it was exactly what I needed to return to a normal life — and he was right.
Once again, thank you. This book came to me exactly at the right time.
P.S. For some reason, I felt the urge to write to you personally. Perhaps this is important for you as well.
read lessGood afternoon! Back in my distant student days, a lecturer got angry with us students because he had processed 14 volumes of information to give us a concise presentation that would be interesting and meaningful, and we didn't appreciate it☝️.
Thank you for the book...
This is your personal experience/practice/theory... in an easy-to-understand form.
read lessToday I read your book Let Go of the Pen! Thank you very much!!! It's easy and accessible to read! Profound and valuable!!!
Many thanks for respecting your readers with high-quality printing. Your books are not only useful to read, but also pleasant to hold in your hands. And yes, the illustrations are awesome!
My 10-day fast is over, the fourth one this year. I am very grateful to A. Suvorov for his system and for explaining everything in a simple, accessible, and positive way. I haven't been able to keep a diary yet; I pick up a pen and my thoughts immediately get confused. I wanted to go through a complex system over the course of a year, and the only practice I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do was the 10-day fast, but in the end, that was the only one I did.
read lessAlexander, every time we meet with you, we feel confident that there are many more exciting stories ahead of us! Thank you for your sincerity, wisdom, and willingness to share both! 🤝
During my 10-day fast, my whole family came down with rotavirus, but I didn't.
Good afternoon everyone, I completed a course of conscious fasting, and here is another advantage I would like to mention. I am a medical professional working in a hospital. During flu season, I used to get sick 3-4 times, but now everyone around me is getting sick, except me. After 10 days of fasting, I continue to practise fasting for 24-36 hours every week.
read lessI tried fasting for 36 hours, it's a wonderful feeling 🔥 But you need to know some subtleties🙌
I had anaemia before starting the 10-day fasting programme and was afraid that I would not have enough strength. I went through with it, everything is fine, I did not die. Now I am in the recovery stage. I feel good. Therefore, I recommend it.
My ferritin was 3.5, and I will have repeat tests in 10 days. But I feel like I've gotten 5 years younger. The weakness was noticeable, but walks helped me cope.
read lessGood afternoon.
I practise 36-hour conscious fasting. After a year of regular practice, I managed to lose 15 kg.
It was a conscious journey — with discipline, monitoring my body's condition and respect for my own health.
The result motivates me to move forward and maintain my chosen lifestyle.
read lessI read it. I liked it. I recommend it to everyone.
I have been practising 36-hour fasting for 15 years. I do it twice a month. This is the Vedic practice of EKADASHI. On the eleventh day, there is a full moon or new moon. That's all there is to it.
Every morning, I give thanks for another day—with a positive attitude, with movement, with the opportunity to move forward.
Every morning, I discipline my mind. It's not always easy, sometimes it takes effort, but these simple physical exercises help me get ready for the day and maintain my inner focus.
I didn't come across your community by accident. I feel that it is part of my journey and a small but important personal success.
For everything — gratitude to God. And to Nature.
read lessThank you for being you!
I am very impressed by your life story.
From an entrepreneur in the nineties to a factory owner in 2020+ with braces and a motorbike, who is constantly improving.
Thank you for setting an example and for your belief that anything is possible!
read lessGood afternoon.
I would like to thank you, Alexander, for the pleasure I got from reading your book. The Happiness System certainly works. I liked the second part better; it was as if I saw the past through your eyes. I also have a small business, and everything was just as you described. We are similar in some ways. If only your book had been published in 2000, back then we didn't know where to start, we were like blind kittens. I want to say that you are talented, you are a talented writer, I read with pleasure, I couldn't put it down, not all books are so captivating, thank you. I wish you creative success! I am an admirer of your talent.
Yours sincerely, Tetiana Kysla
read lessHello, everyone! I recently joined the group after reading the book ‘The Art of Not Eating’.
I have quite a lot of experience with fasting.
When I was 18, I started taking a food break once a week, and at 25, I fasted for 14 days for the first time (under medical supervision).
Then, once every 2-3 years, I also fasted for 14 days (but on my own, skipping the unpleasant enema).
I fasted periodically once a week.
Now I am planning to take another 14-day food break because my health is not very good (I have insulin resistance).
Thanks to the book, I finally realised the importance of all the procedures.
Thank you, Alexander, for the book. It is very easy to read, and it makes you want to put it into practice right away.
I discovered a lot of new and interesting things for myself, especially about sport — I thought that I needed to conserve my strength and move less.
read lessHello, conscious people!
I am sharing my first conscious 36-hour fast!
I was familiar with fasting before, as well as all the procedures involved in it.
But conscious fasting, with gymnastics, walks and a mantra of gratitude to myself, was new to me.
I also added a sauna to this day.
To be honest, not only was my body cleansed, but everything that was holding me back in my body and consciousness also began to fall away.
So it was very powerful.
I will definitely continue!
read lessGood afternoon.
I recently bought the book ‘The Art of Not Eating’ and read it in one sitting. It is very clear, meaningful, and to the point. It has been a long time since I have read something with such pleasure.
read lessCongratulations 🙌
Oleksandr, thank you very much for your support and experience.
For the path you have already guided me along twice — through fasting to clarity and strength.
Each such transition changes and strengthens us.
Happy New Year. Good health and light on your path.
read lessThe Art of Not Eating is not about hunger, but about freedom.
The main idea of the book is that people eat not because they are hungry, but because they are used to it. Through simple examples and personal experience, the author demonstrates that the body is much smarter than our fears. When we stop constantly ‘feeding’ ourselves, the body activates its natural mechanisms of recovery, cleansing, and energy efficiency.
The Art of Not Eating is about conscious food breaks lasting from 36 hours to 10 days. It is not about violence against the body, but about listening to its signals. Alexander says that periods of fasting are an investment in clarity of mind, lightness of body, inner strength and self-control.
Quotes from the book:
‘Fasting is the shortest path to yourself.’ Specifically, it is a training of willpower that goes far beyond nutrition and affects business, sports, relationships, and life decisions.
‘As soon as we stop tormenting our body, it forgives us and begins to heal itself.’
#myawareness
After reading, a simple but powerful realisation comes: at least once in your life, you need to try going 10 days without food and experience the states the author was in, because it is very motivating.
And PS: this book does not force you — it invites you to experiment on yourself. And if you accept this challenge, it becomes obvious: the art of not eating is the art of living consciously, freely and in touch with your own body.
read lessWell, everyone! I'll share my experience too.
It's now the third day after a 10-day break.
It was very interesting. I think that every day, thoughts about the novelty of the experience, whether everything was okay, and what would happen next, prevented me from fully immersing myself in the process. And on the 10th day, I kept thinking about how to come out of it correctly, what I would eat afterwards. I am sure that the next session will be different. The path has already been trodden for the first time.
I am satisfied with the result. The request was for ‘cleansing’ the mind, deeper contact with myself. To some extent, I got answers to pressing questions. One of them was the decision to end a relationship🤷♂.
I want to be more with myself, with this moment (and with the people in this moment), as if there is a lot of unknown depth in it.
I started to go with my intuition — what my body wants.
The first day was egg whites and steamed vegetables, lunch was a little cheese and yoghurt. Dinner was again egg whites, a little cheese and vegetables.
The second day started with eggs and salad, lunch was boiled fish and a little buckwheat. I don't remember what I had for dinner.
The third day was the same as above. It was a little too fast, but I only felt discomfort when I ate too much cheese this morning. I didn't want to, but greed told me that it would go bad, so I had to throw it away. I stepped on myself and paid a little for it.
Interestingly, I still feel a little detached. And only today did I feel like going through my wardrobe and throwing away things that are not dear to my heart.
I'm curious to try 12 days next time.
And I am sincerely grateful to Alexander for motivating me and showing me how!
Thank you!
read lessI also constantly thought about how I should go out, what I should eat... but my body tells me what I can do... I became calmer, I really enjoyed being alone, my mind was clear, I am real... this practice gave me confidence that I can do more than I think, and that in life, eating is not the only pleasure, but the state you are in, the reflection in the mirror that you like, is also a pleasure 👌 I am now receiving many compliments that I look younger, because it is true, the swelling has gone down from my face, and that is a great feeling. Alexander, after fasting, you become a different person, with a different perception of the world, lighter and more honest... you become more honest, first and foremost with yourself... thank you 🙏
read lessAs a person and a businessman, you are a great authority for me. You inspire me to follow in your footsteps, set goals and achieve them.
After reading your book
‘Don’t Push Too Hard,’ I simply began to look at life differently.
Thank you so much🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
read lessGood afternoon! It's the tenth day of my food break, and I feel great, light, and I don't want to eat or drink water at all! Today, I weighed in at my lowest weight for the entire period — 1.6 kg. I was shocked😮 I don't want to stop this practice tomorrow 😊 Alexander, thank you so much for the book, your support, advice, and experience. Without you, I would not have been able to go this far with conscious fasting🙏 Have a great evening, everyone!!!
Someone wrote that the last few days are the hardest, but for me, on the contrary, they are the easiest 👌
Today I have a lot of energy, unlike in the first few days.
My skin looks great.
I am delighted 🙏
read lessA smile, eternal energy! Something that successful people never lose, even when it seems that all is lost. Falling down is not a disgrace. The disgrace is falling down and not trying to get up. I think that this evening served as the inspiration for new emotions recorded by Alexander Suvorov on his iPhone, as an idea or text for his next book. You are the Ukrainian Branson, Kiyosaki... Although no... I don't read them anymore. They've become boring. You are dynamic, with twists and turns, with problems, with how things really are. Respect.
read lessGood afternoon! It's my third day of conscious fasting, and I'm enjoying the lightness in my body. I'm drinking a lot of water, and everything is going great, but there is one issue—my legs hurt a lot, from my knees down, on the back of my calves... My job involves standing and sitting every day, and my legs hurt constantly.
My head doesn't hurt, but when I fasted one day a week, my head hurt terribly in the evening. All the procedures help a lot, they're great, I'm very satisfied 🙏
read lessI started dry fasting again. Today is the end of the sixth day, and I still have at least four days to go.
This way, I cleared my lungs of water, the growth in my lung disappeared, the noises in my bronchi went away, my allergies went away, and lupus erythematosus, as they say, went into remission, in short, it went away.
Now another growth has appeared in my lung, but I will starve it and kill it. Better me than it.💪
I wish us all good health 🎉
read lessGood afternoon!
I liked the book. I got the impression that analogies could be drawn in 90% of the episodes...
I've already recommended it to my friends. The book is very easy to read!
Hello, everyone. My name is Alona, and I have been fasting with Alexander for two years now — twice for seven days — personally with Alexander in a group. As Alexander says, after each session, your life will never be the same as it was before. I didn't fast this Monday, but I usually fast two Mondays a month. Previously, with each fast, short or long, I had headaches, but now everything is fine. I am glad to be in a group of like-minded people.
read lessHello
I have been fasting since spring 2024
I started fasting with Alexander. Thank you very much for that
I remember how difficult it was to do it for one day... but now it's easier.
First, we fasted for one day every Monday, and then we fasted twice together as a group led by Alexander. The first time was for 10 days, the second for 7.
The third time, I fasted on my own. And everything went great.
The course we took was so full of practical advice and exercises, and so motivating, that a week of fasting turned into a complete transformation.
And today I also fast for one day. I realised that Mondays are too stressful for me, and Tuesdays are easier to fast, but that's just how it is for me.
read lessGood evening, today is my first day of fasting. I received the book today and read it in one sitting by evening. I went to the pharmacy to purchase everything I needed and am now walking around with a heating pad on my right side. The enthusiastic reviews in the book were very motivating. I really liked the book, all the information is presented in an easy and interesting way, thank you 🙏
read lessMy dear community, I want to share with you honestly what I am going through right now.
I have been fasting for three days now. On Tuesday, I allowed myself coffee with chocolate — and that's it. I still haven't started eating. Perhaps it's because I've been under a lot of stress lately, and my body and subconscious are working differently. Tomorrow will be the fourth day without food. I've lost about 3 kg, maybe from water, maybe from the practice itself. But it's not even about the numbers.
Something very strange is happening on an emotional level. People with strong negative feelings have become active. A close male friend has been trying to sort out a relationship with me for two days, which in principle does not exist — we are just friends. Anonymous calls, strange numbers calling every three minutes. A woman has appeared with whom we had a business relationship before the war and who may have taken out loans... It's a kind of flurry of energy.
And at the same time, I have felt a tremendous need to cleanse myself. Today I changed my bedding. Yesterday, my housekeeper cleaned the house beautifully. Tomorrow I want to restore, replace the headlights and update the lighting on my Lexus. It's as if the whole space around me is also asking for renewal.
During this period without food, I feel as if not only my body but also my subconscious is being cleansed. It's as if some stagnant emotions have burst through, and everything superfluous is falling away.
read lessGood evening!
I want to share my first steps towards conscious fasting.
Today, for the first time in 2.5 years, I endured a 24-hour dry fast. This is the first time since pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.
Before pregnancy, I practised a weekly food break in the form of a 24-hour dry fast. I was actively involved in sports. I felt good. I kept my weight at 52 kg under control.
After pregnancy and childbirth, I couldn't get back to this practice. Finally, the ice has broken!
I am planning a 36-hour fast with magnesium and tyubazh for next week.
Thank you, Mr. Alexander, for the book and the community! I wish everyone an inspiring journey to health, beauty, and happiness!
read lessThe 10th (final) day of my CONSCIOUS fasting has begun.
In a nutshell, the practice is WONDERFUL.
I am satisfied with the results. There have been no wow insights YET, or I haven't noticed them.
However, I would like to note a few things:
1. Some people from my circle have removed themselves from the lists — and that is an achievement. They just took it upon themselves and eliminated themselves. There are many reasons for this, but the main one is that I did not meet their expectations. As a military man, in their view, I was supposed to convey only soldierly valour, love for Ukraine, hatred for the enemy, and ruthlessly point out the shortcomings of Ukrainian politics and (cautiously) the army. I was supposed to demonstrate the hardships of soldier life, the mud, and open collections for a car, its repair, or something else. Instead, I, the bastard, wrote about personal stuff: how I struggled with depression, how I wrote about the state's disrespect (one call) towards specific soldiers (two calls), how it cheats them out of their payments. I wrote about how I finally mastered the practice of standing on a Sadhu board and dared to go on a 10-day hunger strike for myself. Those people just spat on me and blew smoke in my face.
2. I really want to audit and clean up my personal space and belongings and start living a simple, conscious life (of course, with adjustments for the war and army idiocy).
3. I want to learn to see the small details and thank God or his earthly providers — people — for them.
4. I want to learn to love again. Somehow, it has become difficult lately.
5. I want to eventually change the board from 10 mm to 12 mm. This is, so to speak, the hard option for me right now.
6. At some point, for the first time in many years, I focused on myself: my health, my needs, rethinking the contents of my phone book and physical environment (taking into account the army, where there are many very different people).
7. And most importantly, I have achieved a minimum level of balance. My blood pressure is normal (I am hypertensive), the swelling in my legs has gone down (my job is sedentary, and there is nowhere to walk because you can step on a ‘petal’). Therefore, all my ‘sport’ consists of primitive gymnastics, planks and boards in the evenings.
read lessGood morning, it's the seventh day of my cleanse, everything is fine, I've lost six kilograms, and tomorrow I plan to take a break because I have to work. I will definitely write about my break. I am grateful to everyone for their support, to Mr. Alexander for his wonderful book and for everything that happens in my life. I plan to repeat this more than once.
read lessHello! Day 5 of conscious living... I planned a morning run. I woke up at 8 a.m., lay in bed feeling a little weak, but got up abruptly at 10 a.m. As soon as I started moving, the weakness disappeared, so off I went for a run. After shopping at the food market, I needed to stock up on vitamins to get through the food break and provide my family with food. Next, I visited my granddaughter's dance performance on St. Nicholas Day at her invitation. Then my wife and I went to a café, she had an Americano, and I had herbal tea. We got home in the evening. Evening ritual: tubage, enema, warm shower and to bed. The day was interesting and energetic.
P.S. I have been fasting for years, but today I was surprised that on the 5th day my body was intensively pushing out various mucus, especially during activity (running, walking). Weight -5kg.
Something like that... Good luck and positivity to everyone!

read lessI want to share my results after a 10-day fast:
My name is Sergey, I am 45 years old. I started fasting on November 19 completely spontaneously — after severe stomach upset and diarrhea. I came across the book “The Art of Not Eating” and decided to use the situation as a chance to cleanse my body and reboot myself.
My starting weight was 112.4 kg.
On the 10th day — 103.4 kg.
During this time:
For me, it was not only a physical but also a psychological experience — a test of willpower and an opportunity to experience my own body in a new way.
The most important thing lies ahead: the correct way to come out of fasting in order to consolidate the result and not harm the body...
read lessHello. I have practised fasting. But as for the book, I was impressed. It is accessible without unnecessary information, and I learned a lot of new things.

read lessMy 10-day fasting has ended, everything went very calmly. Even though I was very worried, I thought I wouldn’t get through it, because for me fasting is not by itself but a part of a system, you have to go through other practices as well.

Good afternoon, Oleksandr!
I’m reading a lot of different books right now, on various topics.
Yours is a desk book in my office, right on my work desk. I show it to my clients (only to executives, and not to all of them — only to those who have already matured as individuals) and to my partners, because what you write about — only business owners can truly feel, understand, and relate to.
The book is brilliant. When I read it, it feels like looking into a mirror — everything has been the same for me since February 2022…
Oleksandr, judging by the dates of these two events —
October 1st: https://ua.korrespondent.net/world/4820002-u-ssha-vpershe-za-sim-rokiv-rozpochavsia-uriadovyi-shatdaun
and

as well as by what Carl Gustav Jung wrote in his books AION and Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious, it seems that we (the world) are now moving through a period of deep and turbulent transformation.
And your book is like an “instructor in Turkey” before going down a wild mountain river in a two-person kayak (I absolutely love that kind of rafting — and in the Turkish countryside you see the real Turkey, just like in our Carpathian villages).
It’s amazing to hold such a book in your hands and show it to partners at moments of doubt — “look here.”
read lessGood afternoon. It’s already my third Monday with you🙂. Each Monday gets easier to go through. Lots of energy, feeling great. Wishing everyone a wonderful day❤️
Hi everyone! I’m with you too! Water, mantra, the frog, and so on — everything’s going according to plan.
How are you feeling?
I feel a bit hungry today, but I do the “frog” exercise and everything’s fine. We’re holding on — we’re doing great! 🤗🤗🤗
Hello everyone! I didn’t feel like eating at all, and there was no sense of hunger until 10 a.m. today, so I had breakfast just 15 minutes ago... But! I can’t say it was easy, because I had no strength at all and just wanted to sleep. I did the tubage according to the instructions, but there was no gurgling or urges. After the enema, my energy returned — I slept well at night and woke up energetic and happy. Result: –1.6 kg. Thank you, Mr. Oleksandr, for this practice — I’m planning to use it every week!
read lessGood morning!!! The second Monday of fasting felt much easier. I went through all the procedures. Didn’t feel drawn to food at all) Feeling wonderful ❤️
Hello everyone, happy Monday!
I’m doing great.
Water, a walk, jade frog.
In the morning, sensations became a bit sharper — it felt intense, like during fasting. I read a mantra, made plenty of notes in my journal — and the energy keeps flowing.
It’s an unusual day — a day of decisions,
of choosing how to move forward and forming a new paradigm of thinking.
Thank you.

For those practicing today — no need to “add salt”, but today I finished a 7-day session from Oleksandr’s course, feeling truly happy.

And thank you, Oleksandr, for this path 🤝
I’ve done two rounds of long-term fasting with Oleksandr: incredible support, a warm community, and everything is clear.
Highly recommend.

read lessHello everyone! I’m fasting today, for the third time. I want to make it a regular practice. Thank you for the motivation.
Let me share my first significant results.
Today I had an ultrasound of all organs — the doctor said everything looks perfect. Fasting definitely helps the body to recover.
The procedures are really unpleasant, but I keep in mind that it’s all about taking care of my body.
It’s the best investment of time in myself 🔥

read lessBefore fasting, cooking felt like torture to me, but after the very first day of fasting I suddenly started to enjoy it so much — now it’s my hobby. I learned how to bake and mastered so many new dishes. My whole family is thrilled.
And during fasting, I start cleaning everything — sorting out closets, the kitchen, all the stuff that had been lying around for years…
read lessHi 🙌🏼
I have an interesting observation, I can’t really explain it, but it’s definitely there.
About two years ago, I practiced 11-day fasting, and during those days I was actively cooking for my family — and honestly, I was enjoying it so much.
Now that I’ve bought all your books and already read two of them — they inspired me to try a 10-day fast again. So, today is my third day, and it’s happening again — I’ve been cooking all day long, and nothing tempts me to eat.
My family immediately noticed: “Are you fasting or something, since you’re cooking so much for us?” 😂😂
Has anyone experienced the same thing?
It’s the same with cleaning 👆🏼
read lessGood evening everyone! I’m very grateful to Oleksandr for such an experience and for the step-by-step plan of going through it. During my 36 hours of fasting, I lost 1 kg, but I didn’t do one procedure — namely the tubage — because in my case I needed confirmation from a doctor that it was safe… unfortunately, I received the permission too late. I had a previous experience of a 36-hour fast, but without the accompanying procedures. I only drank water.
In this experience, I went through the fasting quite easily. There was no feeling of “torture”) 😄 And this morning I felt very light… and a sense of complete satisfaction. Probably that’s the most important thing. I thank all like-minded participants, thank you for the opportunity to read your reflections and descriptions of your states. And of course, once again, huge thanks to Oleksandr for the experience and the practice! 😊 Starting next Monday, I plan to go through all the stages of the experience during the 36-hour fasting. Wishing everyone a pleasant evening! 😊
7 days of fasting: transformation of the physical body, thoughts, and emotions
Fasting is not just abstaining from food. It’s a deep process of self-discovery and transformation that affects the body, mind, and spirit.
I decided to run an experiment and fast for 7 days to see how it would affect my life.
I kept a diary, recording everything that happened to me.
⬇️ Here’s what came out of it:
I kept a video diary every day.
When I entered it consciously, I entered with intentions for (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects).
Important! Do not fast without knowing how to do it properly!
Before fasting, I had already:
• quit drinking alcohol
• quit nicotine
• started doing yoga and meditation every day
• became calmer and different
• reached the level of 10 minutes in an ice bath
Now > fasting… a new stage…
1️⃣ Physical body:
• I lost 7.2 kg — my weight went from 87.5 > to 80.3
• I slept 4–5 hours and was full of energy
• my usual diet will definitely change!
• every day I walked 9–12 km
• deep breaths became easier
• joints became more flexible
• my energy tripled for sure
• my eye color became brighter and kinder )
2️⃣ Mind and emotions:
• on the 2nd day I began to ask questions to myself and the Higher Power, and on the 3rd day a powerful coach, Inessa, wrote to me and offered a free coaching session 🆓!!!
As a result, I received the answer to my request from the second day.
The second question > was answered by another person.
The practice of setting intentions > continued further > pure joy!
• every day I experienced different emotions (sincerity, gratitude, love, and others — even my body wanted to dance 🕺)
• I began to notice many triggers and realized they affected me less and less
• I wrote a poem for my wife
• created a “harmony list”
• wrote down my mission at work and focused > I know how to act
• wrote a letter to my parents with words of gratitude
• bought gifts for my loved ones
3️⃣ Soul:
• I’ll probably leave this sacred part unspoken. Everything’s fine there too…
7 days of fasting gave me not only physical, emotional, and mental transformation.
read lessGood afternoon, I want to thank Oleksandr Suvorov for the fasting practice. To be honest, I was never interested in spiritual growth or different practices. But a book about energies and spiritual development came to my mind — it had an entire section about fasting. At first, I thought it was some kind of fantasy, but I decided to try it anyway. While I was thinking about how to do it, I accidentally came across Oleksandr’s videos on YouTube, and later — his webinar. Everything turned out to be much simpler. Here’s something from that book, maybe someone will find it interesting.
There are 4 stages of spiritual growth:
1. Cleansing
2. Discipline of the mind
3. Control
4. Interaction
Spiritual growth begins with the fasting practice. To cleanse the body at the cellular level, you need to fast for 40 days — that’s 4 sessions of 10 days each.
In our body, there are 2 types of energy — light and dark. Our energy system works in such a way that energy from the cells goes to the lower abdomen (like a battery), and from there to the brain, and then back to the cells. Each cell receives as much as it gives. Dark energy stagnates, and during fasting, our body begins to cleanse it and release it from the energy system. For example, if our cell worked at 80%, after fasting this percentage increases. This practice restores our energy system.
When the amount of dark energy in a cell exceeds 51%, that cell starts working against the body — those are disease cells. Fasting is a prevention of various illnesses.
For couples who want to have children, fasting is recommended — it increases the chance of giving birth to a healthy and happy child.
Also, in our body there are 7 energy centers that go up along the spine. But they are blocked by the 7 sins. One of them is gluttony. With the fasting practice, it can be unblocked.
Our planet and we ourselves are between two streams of energy. The light ones are faith and love. The dark ones are fear and hope. Entering fasting with faith and joy helps our body reconnect to the light stream.
read lessHello)
I have already completed 48 one-day fasts according to Alexander's programme.
The previous session lasted 10 days. One day was okay, but 10!!! I couldn't believe or even imagine that I would be able to do it.
But I took another step forward.
The most important gift from fasting is cleansing the body and mental freedom.
I didn't change my daily routine, I continued to work. I wondered how it would affect communication? Would it knock me out at some point or something?))
We are where our attention is. And our attention may not be where it should be)) How can this be explained in life?
There was a moment when I thought, ‘That's it, it's too difficult, my brain stops believing, it's stressful.’ And my condition was like an aeroplane that started to dip its nose and fly down. But...
Oleksandr's mentoring is a powerful support during the session. A set of lessons for each day motivates me, and the accompanying literature is not only about fasting and advice for my own transformation.
And my attention shifted from negative to positive. And my brain tracked it. I could have spent the day in my own suffering, but instead I got a positive boost!
It's cool that I record how I feel, and Alexander helps me direct the vector. It's work on myself that gives me both a rush and freedom of thought; it's a set of the most useful tips for everything that shapes our day.
And coming out of fasting)) I fell in love with food again and reviewed my diet)
It was a wonderful adventure that we went through together with the group. Thank you all)
It was difficult to take the plunge for one day, but I took a step forward and it started to work out. And after a 10-day session, one day was a piece of cake.
The personal benefit is enormous, now it is one of my favourite practices.
I could write a lot more, but it's better to try it for yourself.

I read the motivation and mantra once. I only practised the Yashma frog, but did not do it. Magnesia and enema - successful! I enjoyed my first experience! I intend to continue! I started a diary.

Hello, everyone!
I came out of another Monday fast today)
I feel refreshed, energetic, determined, and calm)
It was a blast ❤️
Hello, Alexander! I wanted to thank you for the wonderful experience with fasting! I had a little bit of experience with 1-2 day fasts, but not consistently. I read your book and decided to try a 7-day fast. I'll say right away that I only lasted 5 days, but honestly) Some things came up that I had to deal with, and in the state I was in, it wouldn't have worked out) What I want to share: first, the 4th day was the hardest, and it only started to get a little easier on the 5th. Second, my joints hurt a lot for two nights (they sometimes bother me), meaning the pain got worse, but as soon as I started eating again yesterday, it stopped. Third, I just got to work and feel like my vision has improved; it seems like they added more light in the office. Thank you, thanks to you I decided to go on such a long fast, which is long for me! I want to continue. Have a nice day and enjoy coming out of your fast!

Good afternoon! For the first time in my life, I consciously fasted for 36 hours. How did I decide to do it? During the training, Alexander said that it was very easy to do and did not require any special preparation. I believed him and did it! I am awesome. Before fasting, I weighed 143 kg, and after fasting, I weighed 138 kg. It's a phenomenal result, without any effort!
What I gained:
My wife's support—we did it together.
I strengthened my willpower.
I acquired a new useful skill.
My productivity increased.
Thank you, Alexander, for this experience. It's really easy. I'll definitely try for 10 days!

I'm enjoying the freshness of my thoughts and my cheerfulness.
Yesterday, fermented Ivan tea helped me feel good: it warms you up nicely.
Fasting really helps me deal with my “anxiety” and gives me more control over my actions and habits.
read lessOnce, when we met, Mr. Alexander told me that when fasting for 1-2 days, “you still think about food.” But regular and technological fasting shows that these thoughts and distractions gradually fade away and disappear. Instead, thoughts arise about the enormous resources of our body (physical and spiritual) and how we wastefully “clog them up with food.”
read lessGood morning!
I came out of another fasting session.
This time, I rethought my relationship with a friend: I analyzed our communication, it became easier, I let go of the situation.
I thought about productivity and efficiency: How to find fresh approaches when things are going downhill, and they are going downhill for me, my brain is getting tired!
Physical exercise, walks, a schedule that says “go for a walk” and you have to go so that your brain can “breathe” too.
I exercised physically and felt great.
Happy after another session.
Thank you, Alexander, for the practice.🤝

read lessAlexander, thank you for your knowledge. I sense great strength and purity in you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🤝
But in my case, it's different.
I'm a housewife, I don't go to work. But Mondays are no different from other days. I still go shopping, buy groceries, cook meals, reheat food if necessary, set the table, wash the dishes, and can sit quietly with everyone at the table during lunch or breakfast, sipping water. It is important for me to get in the right frame of mind that today I am not eating, today is my day of fasting, cleansing, healing, and so on.
I don't crave food, I calmly watch other people eat, and when I feel hungry in the morning or during the day (not a desire to eat something), I drink water and do a yashma frog, and that's it.
I developed this attitude a long time ago, when I was often on different diets, and it helped me not to break down. But this is my experience. Everyone has their own way.
Thank you all for your support! It's very nice to feel like a part of your community.
I wish everyone good health, good spirits, and pleasant surprises in life. 🥰🥰🥰
read lessI will share some of my thoughts. In summary: It is not as difficult to endure physically as it is psychologically....
There is food everywhere, or places where you usually buy something for yourself, cafes, shops. In your apartment/car/office:
Candy, apples, tangerines, advertisements for bread and sausages are all staring at you. Someone is munching on something or carrying something from the store.
Habits are everywhere: wake up, breakfast. Arrive at work, coffee, oh, lunch is coming soon. Leave work, stop by the supermarket, hooray, now it's time for dinner. And you have water, water, water...
An important discovery: how much time and energy we spend on snacks, coffee, food. How much stress and negativity we eat away. Something you don't like, something uncomfortable, a difficult task — “I haven't eaten/drunk anything in a long time, I'll go get something tasty.”
Another psychological aspect is lightness and detachment, a shift in focus. You really try to be an observer, you don't want to do any standard things.
An interesting experience, thank you for the program. This day was a gift to my body.

Thank you to myself — for the path, determination, and honesty with myself.
I have recognition for myself: I’m doing great.
Looking back, I see how far I’ve come and I know — the most exciting part is only beginning.
Just thank you, Universe.
Fasting is not for everyone — and it’s perfectly fine.
It’s like a “chosen community” — without pathos, but with deep meaning.
Conscious fasting is not only about the body.
It’s about cleansing the mind, energy, and focus.
We often drift away from our course, getting cluttered by informational noise.
And this practice helps to recalibrate the compass —
to see what truly matters and to hear the answers that have always been within you.
It felt like a vacation — even while working.
I feel deep gratitude.
The environment matters: in such a state, it’s hard to “fall off track,”
and that’s when turbo growth begins.
It’s about the power of the group — but even more about the power of awareness.
Thank you, me.
Thank you, Universe.
And thank you, Oleksandr — for this opportunity and for bringing it into the world.
Dear Alexander, thank you for the wonderful book about the benefits of fasting, your method, and your experience.
I read it “in one go.”
Many things resonated with me.
I have ordered your next book on “Happiness,” as well as the books by the authors you referred to.
Thank you!

As paradoxical as it may sound, but the MHs are felt much more vividly during the war. And their value is greater. Thank you for your book and for sharing your invaluable experience. I shake your hand and see you on the roads of the universe)
read lessI received the book "System of Happiness ". I was inspired by your energy at dinner. Thank you for a wonderful evening!
This was already my second 7-day fast.
First of all, I want to express my deep gratitude to Oleksandr for deciding to guide the group this time, despite his unpredictable schedule and unstable internet connection while walking the Camino de Santiago.
This time, I entered the fast primarily with a health-related intention. I had been planning to do a full health check-up for several years, but it just never worked out. So, I decided to combine the fast with a trip to another city and get a complete check-up. Oleksandr recommended the Saint Charbel clinic in Morshyn.
Overall, everything went great. As a nice bonus, I discovered a great SPA there: massages, sauna, pool – the fasting went by almost unnoticed.
But there was one very unpleasant moment. During a gastroendoscopy, I was diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori. I had never heard of it before, but it turns out that this bacterium can lead to gastritis and ulcers. This news really dampened my mood.
I was prescribed a whole bunch of antibiotics, and I realized it would be quite a blow to my other organs.
But in the next fasting circle, Oleksandr mentioned that there is scientific evidence that Helicobacter can disappear after the fifth day of fasting. I scheduled a repeat test in Lviv (on the first day of refeeding – day 8), and a miracle happened: no Helicobacter was found!
That’s how I experienced my Fasting Miracle this time.
Instead of a two-week course of antibiotics and a restrictive diet, everything was resolved in another way.
Once again, thank you to Oleksandr for all the guidance and support.
The key insight from this fast — health needs to be monitored systematically: do a full check-up once a year, track your health trends, and address issues at an early stage.
I hadn’t done that before — I simply led a relatively healthy lifestyle and thought it was enough.
I will definitely continue with fasting practice and really want to try a 10-day fast next time.
Thank you!
Recently, I completed a 7-day conscious fast. For all 7 days, I had no food — only pure water. To say it was amazing would be an understatement 😅
Previously, I had done fasts lasting 1–3 days, but those involve completely different physiological processes. The most interesting things begin to happen only on day 4, so this was my first experience with extended fasting.
I want to thank Oleksandr Suvorov — my mentor who guided me through this journey and provided powerful, caring support. The cleansing I went through was not only physical but also mental, as Oleksandr gave me deep mental and spiritual tasks and guidance.
All 7 days passed quite easily. The only thing I lacked was physical strength and endurance. Mentally, it was quite simple, as I was well prepared — a week before starting, I had read Oleksandr’s book “The Art of Not Eating”, and in a way, I was even eagerly anticipating the start.
My goal was to cleanse myself on both physical and mental levels from toxins, get rid of excess fat and damaged cells, improve my overall health, and strengthen my immune system. I can confidently say that all of my goals were achieved — and even more!
I’m 43 years old and have had a chronic cough all my life. On the 7th day of fasting, I noticed that the cough no longer bothered me and that the phlegm had stopped coming out with it. This came as a big surprise — I definitely wasn’t expecting that. It felt like a super cool bonus, a gift from the practice itself.
I will definitely plan more 7–10-day fasting sessions with Oleksandr in the future, because the results are truly powerful, and the value of doing it with his support is priceless!
Thank you sincerely!
I’ve read the book! And it’s absolutely fantastic — not about formalities or personal acquaintance with the author, but about allowing yourself to be yourself and not postponing opportunities.
Thank you! Read it! Highly recommend to everyone!
Today marks my 50th day of practicing one-day conscious preventive fasting.
Everyone finds their own reason for stepping onto this path. You can read more about it in Oleksandr Suvorov’s book The Art of Not Eating. And honestly, all the reasons still make perfect sense. I’m deeply grateful. This is a treasure!
From my own experience, I can say that this practice cleanses both the body and the mind, awakening the soul and building a bridge to oneself—to one's inner world.
And it’s no joke… At a certain point in life, I realized that I could no longer hear myself or the people around me. My perception of reality felt unclear. It was a strange feeling, like being a hermit in the middle of a crowded world.
It was Suvorov who introduced me to this world through his intriguing book Fasting for Happiness: The Diary of a Fasting Millionaire.
I attended a lecture by Oleksandr, organized by The Miracle Morning. Unlike other business-related teachings, this one was about happiness. Strangely enough, with every sentence, I found myself more and more interested.
Happiness is the foundation of life. It serves as a guiding star in health, business, family, hobbies, and ultimately leads to a higher-quality spiritual life. (Here’s a spoiler: Suvorov’s Wheel of Life Balance concept.)
Absolutely fascinating!
Oleksandr has an enormous amount of lived experience and has explored dozens of different practices. I found someone who truly resonated with me and thought: If a millionaire fasts, then there must be something to it.
I remember my first time. It was confusing, I was really nervous, drank a lot of water, and didn’t fully understand how to follow all the procedures. For about a month, every Monday, I kept trying to grasp the methods and approaches.
After two extended fasting sessions with Oleksandr—one for 10 days and another for 7 days—doing a one-day fast now feels like a breeze. And taking that step was absolutely worth it.
Improving life quality takes effort. Fasting isn’t a magical pill—doing it once is just the beginning. It’s a practice with a cumulative effect. You may not feel the full impact the first time, but each time, you discover something new.
Ahoy!

And after all, the ability to live happily, enjoy the moment and be content with what you have determines your success more than any material wealth, status or title....
read lessAfter books as important to me as The Subtle Art of Pofigism and Peterson's Rules of Life, this is the first time I encounter an opposing viewpoint on happiness. More precisely, I see how the author puts happiness at the center of his study. While other authors, primarily western pop-psychology gurus try their best to discourage readers from thinking of happiness as a priority in life. I can't say that Suvorov changed my mind. But he definitely made me think and try to introduce techniques and practices from his experience into my daily life. Let's see what will come out of it.

Curiously, at the beginning of the text it turns out that Suvorov's company is engaged in the production of machines for blowing plastic bottles. Well, it would seem, what could be more distant from my life? What would this man's experience give me?
In the end, I read the book literally in an evening. It was unreal.
I got rid of a lot of patterns, although I didn't realize I had them. I reconsidered my immediate plans and goals for a year or two. You could say, rebooted my brain and filled it with new ideas.

read lessBefore starting fasting, I had many doubts and fears. I always imagined fasting as a bedridden state under medical supervision, a lack of energy, and so on. My biggest insight was that you can live a full life—exercise, go to work—and actually gain more energy in the process.
The last three days were simply incredible. It felt like I was floating. My thoughts became clear and sharp. I found solutions to complex problems and wrote down many interesting ideas.
Another revelation for me was fasting in a group. It’s amazing how much easier and more engaging the process becomes when you do it with others, getting answers to many questions and overcoming challenges together.
And, of course, the key to an enjoyable fasting experience is an amazing leader. With years of experience, he has developed an incredibly simple yet effective system that makes fasting easy and comfortable. Sasha shared this knowledge in a very accessible, convenient, and efficient way.
Thanks to this fasting session, I have changed several of my habits and will definitely do similar sessions in the future. Huge thanks to Sasha and all the participants in our powerful group for their support!
read lessThis is my third time fasting for 7 days in a group led personally by Oleksandr.
It’s an incredible experience, and with each session, fasting becomes easier. Every time, I let go of unnecessary things, gaining a more conscious perception of each moment—what I enjoy and what I don’t in my daily routine. This has allowed me to start changing what doesn’t serve me and drains my energy.
As in every session, after the fourth day, I began to feel lightness in my soul, more trust in the Universe, and love in my heart. I missed this part of myself. I noticed that I lose this lightness when I suppress it with snacks, sweets, or coffee.
The first two days were tough, just like in previous sessions, because of headaches. But each time after fasting, I go almost two months without coffee—I simply don’t crave it. And I can clearly feel the difference in my perception of life with and without it.
The daily Zoom meetings with Oleksandr in the morning are something special. They provide support, and he openly explains what’s happening to the body and mind, which brings a sense of calm. He shares a lot of valuable information, and every session brings something new. This time, for me, it was about auditing my daily schedule. I also learned new details on how to better shape the vision of my happy self.
Every day, I listened to lessons and followed the recommended practices. I kept a journal—this time, I wrote so much it felt like I had filled entire books! Fasting has its own routine, which makes life without food easier. And even when my mind was saying, "I can’t do this anymore," I felt the energy Oleksandr had set in motion. Just following the methodology and lessons was enough to carry me through, even when I experienced a crisis on the seventh day and had trouble sleeping.
Overall, I had much more energy during fasting! I lived my normal life and even traveled with my family over the weekend.
I’m grateful to Oleksandr for this practice and for making this knowledge so simple and accessible through real-life experience.
I’m ready for my fourth session in the group with guidance.
Thank you to the group. Thank you to myself for my resilience.
read lessThis is my second session of conscious preventive fasting, a seven-day one. I have already completed a ten-day fast before. I was very anxious. For beginners, I can say — I was really worried about how I would survive without food for so many days.
It turned out that I did survive, living a full life without stepping away from my daily activities. Moreover, through practice, I found solutions here and now.
My physical condition remained almost unchanged. I lost 4 kg, but it’s not a significant amount, considering I continued workouts, exercise, and active participation in daily tasks.
What is most important for me—this practice divides life into "before" and "after." Thanks to Alexander’s mentorship, the process was completely free of suffering. Being part of a group where everyone supports each other was an incredible experience.
The second key aspect is the spiritual one: Alexander’s lessons, guidance, morning calls. It’s not just about being led but also about self-discovery and inner work.
Fasting clears the mind, enhances focus, and allows you to solve problems here and now while undergoing transformation.
On the morning of the 8th day, I haven’t eaten yet, but I already feel victorious. I experienced catharsis, felt deep change, found answers to my questions, gained insights, and analyzed my state. I discovered mental clarity, harmony of mind and emotions, and a complete sense of self. It’s pure joy, clarity, and satisfaction.
A huge thank you to the team that walked this path together and to Alexander. This has been an incredible journey into my inner world and towards something new. Thank you!
read lessAlexander, greetings!
I want to thank you for "The Happiness System". It is one of the few books that I couldn’t put down. I read all 200 pages in one breath in a single evening 😊.
"The main task of a person who wants to be happy is to allow themselves to be."
"When your main goal is happiness, you gain a compass."
There are so many quotes I could highlight, but I’ll put it this way: how to change beliefs, mental work on oneself—I've learned and read a lot about this. But your writing style—through experience, through real-life examples—is so clear and easy to grasp that it truly resonates!
Once again, I am convinced: the true depth of any knowledge can only be conveyed by someone who has experienced it firsthand.
Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️
read lessWonderful book, very easy to read 😊
A lot of useful advice.
Thank you to the author, and I recommend it to everyone who wants to become a little happier ❤️
Good evening. My name is Olga. After reading your book, I always wanted to write to you, but somehow only now, seeing the article on Suspilne, I decided it’s a sign. I should write. While reading, I was proud of your perseverance and determination. Like us, the children of ordinary working parents, who didn’t have financial literacy or a solid financial cushion from childhood, we have to go through a path of renewal, bumping into obstacles, making mistakes, drawing conclusions, and moving forward... You are truly great for not stopping at what you’ve achieved and continuing to conquer new heights. I have a somewhat rhetorical question for you: where do you find the strength to keep going, especially in these difficult times, without giving up, and finding the strength to grow and keep moving forward...? I’m grateful in advance for your answer and wish you a peaceful evening!
read lessGreetings.
This is me at the evening of the 10th day of conscious preventive fasting with Alexander Suvorov. My first session.
I was already familiar with fasting. I did 40 days of one-day fasts every Monday. But committing to 10 days is hard, and here...
Not knowing what to expect, my main question was whether I could endure 10 days without food and bring my body back to normal. And at the same time, could I continue to live my usual life, working? But I got so much more...
Alexander is a very experienced faster and prepared a special program for the group. It’s filled with both physical procedures and mental practices. But no “rituals” (those are optional :)
A gift for myself and my future self — absolutely!
Alexander's support is a powerful one at every stage, every day.
His vast experience and lessons every day opened my understanding of how our body works and what this really is — a gift to yourself, not forced torture. The energy was uplifting. Thank you so much for the drive!
The group is powerful. The live communication and daily setup were an impressive support from like-minded people, with whom you experience catharsis — but in a pleasant way! Everyone endured, and moreover, made huge changes in their lives.
What I managed to rethink:
Nutrition:
My main concern entering was whether I could last 10 days without food. Our ancestors went through tough times, and life prepares us to be ready for anything. So fasting with joy is a new line in our history. It’s a great contribution to conscious living and personal health.
I’ve developed a desire to approach my diet more carefully. Because our body is a temple, and not everyone should enter it.
Mental practices touch every aspect of life, because otherwise, you end up with a "wrong soup" ;)
Writing:
I used to write a lot by hand, but hundreds of thousands of my words got lost in a drawer. And I began to fear that something would not be preserved, I wouldn’t find it... so I stopped the habit of writing altogether... But when I write now, it feels like I begin to breathe again, like I’ve held my breath and made the first deep breath, and then another. It really energized me.
Another goal was to restart my perception of the world.
I’ve started believing in the future again. And this is an additional request... Recently, I noticed the hustle in my thoughts and behavior, a somewhat aggressive attitude... I’ve been degrading, it’s a pity, but it’s the truth, and I admit this in comparison with today.
I lost my thirst for life, lost interest in creating something, got stuck in the swamp of everyday affairs, and, most importantly, what I considered important to manifest in life got lost in illusory images. It’s like I disappeared from the Earth without fulfilling or showing myself!
On this practice, I managed to take a look at my true self — the one that had been covered with dust.
Habits:
During the practice, you put your habits on pause. For example, I have a habit of drinking Chinese tea. And I realize I should consume it less, but I really enjoy the taste and warmth. A pause in usage is beneficial.
Other harmful habits I left behind in past years...
Practices:
I’ve tried different practices in my life, but this one is the best. There’s nothing more to add. Both my health and mind are falling into place.
Fun observation:
I noticed that many people around talk about food. Really, who ate what, in movies they describe food, in theaters they talk about salo on bread, even describing and savoring it in detail. The smell of food is everywhere.
But I spent all 10 days without a crumb. Amazing!
So:
Not everything was realized to the fullest, since this is my first time, considering the routine.
But the result of the practice is getting to know myself.
In Alexander's book, there’s a quote from David Lynch: "Inside us, there is an ocean of higher consciousness — this is the ocean of decisions. Diving deep, you bring it to life."
I am very satisfied with the result, happy.
I’m sure that the movement is only forward, and for this, I have all the necessary tools. I am very grateful to someone like Alexander, who shares his experience and also offers bonuses.
I’m sincerely grateful!
I have known Alexander Suvorov for many years, and we have communicated a lot during this time. Sometimes he would talk about his fasting system. To be honest, I didn’t pay much attention to it, and like probably most people, I was skeptical about his fasting 😊. This time I joined the session seemingly by chance; I ran into Alexander at the gym, and he said that we would start in two weeks, join us. On the other hand, something about it immediately resonated with me, and I internally said, "Okay." So I believe it was not a coincidence; subconsciously, I needed it, and everything just aligned with the right place and time! I spent two weeks preparing, and once I make a decision, I go all the way. I was wondering how it would go, if it would be difficult, how to handle it, etc. The turning point was the book I read (The Art of Not Eating); after it, there were no more doubts! Once I started, I was surprised by how easily and interestingly everything went. I realized that it’s not just about abstaining from food, it’s much deeper, as Alexander writes. Everything new was exciting every day, and the group dynamic really helped — you all are amazing! A separate topic is Alexander himself, his professional daily support, combined with his incredible energy, drive, and experience — it’s truly something amazing! What did this give me, and what did I take from this session? I probably still haven’t fully realized everything, I’m still analyzing. However:
Maybe someone would say that it’s not that much, but I don’t think so! I’m absolutely sure that my life will be different after this session. A very powerful practice, thank you, Alexander!

I watched the "esoteric part," and then paused it. I will deal with the "borscht," and move on to the business story afterward.
I will be working on the "borscht of life" (and here's a food-related theme 😏).
read lessI completed the program with Alexander Suvorov for the second time.
This time, it was the 10-day Fasting for Happiness program.
It’s a wonderful practice that Alexander introduced to me.
I couldn’t even believe that I could go without food for such a long time. But the lessons, group dynamics, daily Zoom meetings, procedures, and support — all of this helped.
I gained many insights for myself, changed 2 habits, because during this session, I saw what adds to my irritability. I became even prouder of myself for having such endurance and being able to cook breakfasts, even when I wasn’t eating.
I also revisited my Wheel of Life, made notes about what I want to do and what I don’t want. Because during fasting, mental clarity is something truly incredible.
I’m grateful to Alexander for introducing me to this practice, for his care and professionalism in guiding me. Thank you.
I’m looking forward to the next session in the spring.
Sasha, hello. I watched the recording of your performance on Sunday at the Collider. I enjoyed it and got some ideas to implement in my life! You inspire, you’re authentic, genuine, and cool! 😎
Stay healthy and happy))
Hugs.
read lessGood morning!
I’ve just completed another fasting session.
This time, I re-evaluated my relationship with an acquaintance: I analyzed our communication, felt lighter, and let go of the situation.
I reflected on productivity and efficiency: how to find fresh approaches when things slow down. And they do slow down for me—my brain gets tired!
Physical exercise, walks, a schedule where it says "go for a walk" – and you actually have to go, so the brain can also "breathe."
Worked out physically and really enjoyed it.
Feeling happy after another session. :)
Thank you, Oleksandr, for the practice 🤝
read lessFasting is a very powerful practice.
Sometimes, by the end of the week, I feel like my mind is cluttered, but by Monday, after fasting, my thoughts clear up, and everything starts working better.
If there’s a passive practice, it’s fasting, which can "automatically" pull you out of challenging situations. 😊

This opportunity, like many others, came into my life at just the right time. It means one thing – I'm moving in the right direction. And there have been so many realizations. 🙏
Thank you 🌟
read lessHello everyone!
I completed another fasting session this Monday.
Feeling refreshed, energized, determined, and calm.
It went smoothly and felt amazing ❤️
Mr. Oleksandr, I am very grateful to you for the lessons and for the videos on YouTube that you recorded every day.
These videos gave me the opportunity to look at the physical process from the perspective of mentality and energy.
It was powerful!
By the way, I had never seen squirrels during my walks before. But now, one day I saw a squirrel, and on another day, a snake ))
I started listening to Alexander Suvorov's book about "The System of Happiness."
"In working with an image, the main thing is to separate the essence, edit the image, simplify."
This month, I tried to feel, separate, and address these elements.
When you start taking responsibility for YOURSELF: where you work, how you spend your free time, what goals you set, who surrounds you, your thoughts, and everything else that makes up your life - you train and develop your own system of happiness.
And when you understand that any choice is only in your hands, the most important support for yourself grows inside you because you know you can handle anything and that everything depends on you.
You can decide, try, change your mind, make mistakes, and try again. And do things the way you want, not the way someone else does.
After all, the goal of our life is to be happy. But at some point, we got confused and made things more complicated.
Hello!
Overall, I read the book about happiness in one breath over 1.5 days, thank you)
It seems like I stumbled upon it just at the right time.
I have been practicing various techniques for about 4 years now, but there are occasional setbacks. All teachings more or less revolve around one thing - the purpose of a person is to live a happy life, and most importantly, allow oneself to do so.
Your thoughts are so cool, open, and deeply conveyed. It's very interesting to read about your experience, it's motivating. Thank you very much for your sincerity, it really shines through between the lines :)
Oleksandr, thank you for the book! I'm still in the process of reading it, but I want to thank you again. I thought I was a happy person and couldn't be any happier, but it turns out I can be, enjoying every minute in the little things. I've come a very long way to this understanding because I'm from a village, and the whole world is something new to me. I rejoice in many things, but I started to forget that happiness is in the little things. With your book, I remembered!
Conclusions from the first third: I have again in contrast - I have seen so much grief in my life that happy people, unfortunately, are an exception, but it turns out you just need to make a decision. It doesn't matter when – sooner or later, I did it. Now I understand that all the bad things I went through were to understand the value of happy moments. This is important! I have been deeply engaged in spiritual matters for a long time, and again: there can never be too much happiness! Thank you also for the courage to bring your experience to the public and transform it in such a way as to help a large number of people! That’s what all our suffering is for – to draw conclusions, develop a method, and show the way to others. This is a true mission!
Why am I saying this now? I spent 3 hours on the phone with a friend who is having a relationship crisis. I told her all your exercises, and she decided to do them and become happy regardless of the circumstances. Thanks to your book, you saved another life. I'm grateful for the tools! 🙏
You communicate very clearly to ordinary people, with specific tools and most importantly - your own example. You combine both soul and body, which is a delight!
Keep going! Maybe consider doing training for trainers and developing some kind of game specifically for entrepreneurs and/or companies because I understand them the most. Such a happiness revolution! Wrapping up now.
As we say in one spiritual teaching - always stay with us! 🙏

Today I finished a one-day fast!
This time it was the most enjoyable day 😊 because I gave myself a day off, and there was no work stress!
I haven't resolved the issue of stress during work yet. Procedures, physical exercises, and herbal tea – I feel very happy!
Hello everyone, I’m accepting congratulations on my first fast! I didn't follow the procedures 🙈.
I needed to get ready and wait for my order to arrive, but I went straight to a restaurant for dinner where everyone ate, except me – I indulged in green tea, couldn't resist.
I had a lot of energy yesterday, even more than usual, it was amazing🔥
Thank you @roman_khristin for the inspiration and Aleksandr for the methodology. I’ll keep going ☀️
Hello everybody!
For me, the sacred part of fasting is thinking!
This is also a practice with cleaning "brains"
And every time comes something new, a new feeling!
I see and perceive the world with feelings, images, thinking!
This time, my feelings in the morning were in the area that there are people who manage to build something grandiose. And an example of this is a large part of a certain industry!
And thousands of actions lead to this... to come to an understanding of the scale yourself, and for everything around to be constructed by an organic system!
Only after cleaning yourself from the daily noise can you understand what has become dusty inside ☀️
Good practice everyone 🎬

The states in which you are filled with inspiration and ideas, which is so difficult to get in ordinary everyday life.
For me personally, this is a very powerful spiritual practice.
Next time on the 10th day, I'm in the topic
Good day, Alexander! The book is written in extremely simple language and can be read in one breath. I immediately swallowed about 150 pages during the evening)
It is valuable that after reading there is an aftertaste - reflection, thinking, insights. It seemed to me that in your presentation at the KMBSH, you even improved the system described in the book, added brightness and certain sections to the borscht, for example, spirituality.
Thanks again for the interesting and inspiring ideas!
read less"And what, it was possible?"
I noticed that for several months in a row I have been mentally quoting Oleksandr Suvorov every time miracles happen in life. Simple, daily, but miracles. The further - the more often.
It started after I went through a mentoring program with Oleksandr. Never before have conversations about high matters such as Happiness been so mundane, understandable and accessible. It is valuable for me that these conversations are not with a psychologist and not with a Tibetan monk, but with an ordinary Ukrainian, an entrepreneur from Chernihiv, a person with identical mentality, similar values, motivators, views, fears, victories and defeats as mine.
It's just that this person understood more, looked more broadly, allowed himself to see miracles in the moment and share this ability with others.
read lessHi, Alexander
Thank you for sharing your experience of fasting. Thanks to you, I discovered a preventative hunger strike once a week. Previously, I was always addicted to food; I began to have severe headaches from hunger. And now I have learned to control my body. The headaches are gone. The condition of the skin has changed, it has become clean and smooth, the body is cleansed of toxins. No drowsiness or depression. Physical and emotional condition has improved! The system works!
And in general, I am grateful to you every day, now my life has changed. These changes began in September 2023, when I went through your transformation
happiness system program.
Thank you.
read lessGood morning, Alexander. I apologize for the informality of my private message, but I am the person to whom you gave your book at the language club. Yesterday, I started reading it, and I feel compelled to share my impression without delay: It resonates deeply with me, almost as if I knew its essence and meaning all along, only to have forgotten it. 😯 Initially, I planned to read for just half an hour before bed, but I couldn't resist diving deeper into its pages. When I attended the club meeting, I had no idea who you were. However, I was pleasantly surprised by your book and must admit to summoning the courage, perhaps even impudence in the best sense of the word, to ask for it. It's a shame I didn't request an autograph! 🤣
In my opinion, your book, though unfinished in my reading, stands as the best literature I've encountered recently. Firstly, it avoids unnecessary verbosity, a trait I appreciate as I dislike lengthy tomes filled with extraneous detail. Instead, its essence could easily fit into a concise brochure. Secondly, it flows effortlessly, as it delves into life and your personal reflections and actions. Thirdly, it serves as a practical guide rather than a dry theoretical discourse. I found myself wishing for more pages to record the multitude of happy moments it inspired. At times, it felt as though you were channeling my own thoughts onto the page.
So, why am I indulging in this verbosity? Simply put, I want to express my sincere gratitude. I can only imagine the countless accolades you've received, but allow me to add mine to the chorus. The last book to evoke such excitement in me was Norbekov's "The Experience of a Fool" — both the first and the last of its kind. I am genuinely pleased, even elated, to know that individuals like you exist in our country and, specifically, in our city. Thanks to individuals like yourself, I believe our planet has yet to cast us off its surface. Instead, a higher power affords us the chance, time and time again, to evolve, to fulfill our purpose, and to realize our mission in this world

Wishing everyone a
great Monday! Here's some feedback:
Fasting has become a very powerful and decisive habit for me! On the 15th week, I finally found my ideal day. It's a period for the body when it should be in a state of calmness! It's best to be alone: walking, thinking, and exercising a bit.
It gets harder when there's stress... Fasting makes it easier to control myself, but internally I crave peace.
I really enjoy the practice, especially feeling it on Tuesdays... it's that peak you strive for! The motivation is strong! So the goal is visible!
What I find difficult is doing a full cleanse every time!
My body is young ☀️ I've decided not to do it every time, maybe just 1-2 times a month! It's more comfortable for me.
read lessGood morning. Fasting is behind me, and the feeling of taking
the right step towards meeting myself firmly fixed. Getting out of the chaos
matrix through fasting 😁, such
a cool opportunity to face of my strong
and weak sides. This week's technical
maintenance was
very unusual; for the first time, I understood that I am strong at 100%,
sensitive, and supportive at 100%.
For the first time in 10 years I felt feminine
weakness in myself, it was even pleasant. I wrote that my third day was about
cleansing through tears. Thoughts became brighter and warmer. On Friday, my general cleaning began, yesterday I was still
deleting photos, and unnecessary things from gadgets, and I am going to get rid of a lot of my gadgets. I even thought, a person far exceeds his needs,
I wanted even more quality around me, I'm talking about things/people/emotions.
So cool to meet the best version of your body, a body capable of overcoming the
eager desire for delicacies, a body capable of overcoming itself. I am proud of
us because we set the best of the best goals for ourselves, and we put
ourselves first - it's very important!
Hello!
I want to share my impressions after 36 hours of conscious preventive fasting.
Firstly, without hesitation - I am proud of myself,I have the feeling that I've given the most precious gift to myself, and I've realized that I won't be able to live without this from now on.
Secondly, thank you, Oleksandr and the team, for detailed tools throughout the process of experiencing this period. I felt support on a mental level! 🙏🏻
Finally, ease, grounding, and renewal - now my personal triggers in this practice.
P.S. And what a delicious flaxseed porridge in the morning, sensations of receptors in a new way. 👏🏻
Wishing everyone a positive day and the strength of spirit to practice again and again.
Thanks for the audiobook - it's great when you have the opportunity to listen on the go. I listened in one breath - everything is described very clearly/understandably and convincingly - already at work.
Thanks to the "Happiness System" course, I saved my marriage! A dead end relationship and anxiety about it was the main motivation to join the program. And I was not mistaken. I realized the truth: "no one can make a person happy except himself" and stopped demanding that my husband "make me happy." In addition, by conscientiously completing homework, I worked through my harmful patterns that prevented me from building healthy, not dependent, relationships. Nothing will work until each of us takes our own happiness into our own hands. I started my own path to Happiness by recording Happy Moments every day, started paying more attention to my health, finally signed up for salsa and bought an easel and paints! I almost stopped communicating with people who literally exhausted me, I literally edited my environment. My internal changes magically affected our relationship. The man asked: what happened to me. And I said simply: Happiness. I gradually taught him the Happiness System!
The value of the “System of Happiness” course, like a book of the same name, is especially for me because the author is a real Ukrainian entrepreneur, and not a foreign coach who is not close to our realities. Suvorov knows all the pains, fears, problems, pardons, decisions like jokes here in Ukraine, and not here in Miami and Silicon Valley. Listening to yoga on the course, I became aware: in front of me was a person, who knew how to behave and honestly shared them in a friendly, not casual manner. I'm cool. The presentation of the material is simple and sensible, the task is extraordinary and cliques - dig deep for yourself, but the result ... Good fixation of Happy Moments has become my best star. Re-reading your SM for example, week by week, mind: damn, I'm happy!!!
"The System of Happiness" by Suvorov helped me correctly place accents in my life. The book, the video on the channel, Oleksandr's regular additions in social networks and, obviously, the course itself - all in the complex - taught me to concentrate less on the main, on the other side. To leave only constructive, positive people in sharpened, that without regret to say goodbye to toxic ones, rather to keep track of your budget, aby pennies was “equally old, so you don’t think about them”, allow yourself to do it without a bit of guilt. And the smut - I managed to order all my own, if chaotic numbers with obvious distortions, one main goal - be Happy! The Happiness system helped me to put things in order with life.
On 28.08, he had the opportunity to join Oleksandr Suvorov's broadcast "Happiness is not a luxury, but a useful habit!". Is there value in anything in life, if you get what you want and remain unsatisfied? So Oleksandr raises this question. During all the years of his own practice, he developed his own system. Thanks for the information, especially for the personal analysis of the case. I was greatly encouraged, it puts brains!
About three weeks ago, I bought the book "Happiness System". A person has a body, mind and spirit. When it seemed that everything was fine, a crisis came. Perhaps a midlife crisis. Psychologically, I was sitting in the abyss, I was at the bottom, and I would never have believed that this was even real without the use of alcohol and other harmful habits! But the brain decided to destroy me, oppressing me for all the failures that burned everything alive from the inside as if with a laser beam.
The Happiness system became a savior for me. I realized that I needed something that would awaken the core of energy from within. Step by step, Oleksandr's advice pulled me out, gave me strength and resources. Just 10 minutes. Practitioner in the afternoon and radical changes from the inside!
So thank you very much, and to whom the topic is close, read modern Ukrainian literature by O. Suvorov - this is the life of a modern writer, which I am delighted with!
read lessMy name is Kostya, I work in
3D motion design and I want to advance in directing and film!
After Oleksandr's lecture, I
was very impressed. None of the Ukrainian entrepreneurs with such passion and
experience paid attention to happiness as one of the main elements in life!
I had a burnout, which led
to the opposite effect of happiness - a complete collapse, there was no meaning
in actions, there were no chances... At least that's how it seemed!
Any settings like planning
or making certain decisions didn't work at all.
I needed a ray of hope,
understanding how to move forward, motivation and meaning.
I felt that I needed a
system of happiness, like an internal compass that builds life not through
need, but "want")
I felt it, and in the book
Oleksandr, thank you very much, I just found words of support, settings, and
motivating storytelling!
And it started to level
off... Projects appeared, mood and hopes)
I work, but I want to
develop in business, growing important people, money, material goods... And the
most important thing is to have the meaning of life and a happy meaningful
feeling in every breath!
Happy Independence Day
I read your book "Happiness System". Thank you for her! Thank you for sharing your experience and work! This is very valuable! It's been the second year since I lost myself. I am currently trying to recover. And your book was as timely as ever)). I am already practicing SCM, writing it down and returning to those feelings of happiness. It's really hard work on your mentality. Thank you for such simple and effective tools. I describe images of myself as happy, and I work on "allowing myself". I really liked the idea with postcards. That's how it responded))). I will definitely do it))). I wish you happiness.
Thank you very much for your way and work! The book and the knowledge in it pull me out...I attended your lecture, I realized that most of the approaches are close to me...And when I was in a very difficult situation, I bought the book...And life began to level out...I felt a state of happiness, a feeling of faith and happiness and confidence appeared again...projects have gone, I am leveling up...And with a happy mood, new challenges are presented in a completely different way. I'm waiting, tuning in, thanks.
The book "Happiness System". An inspiring book. I read it in 3 days. It could be done in a day, but there is still work to be done. That's why I had to stretch it. And remembering the intonation of your conversation, I read it as if you were telling it yourself. I was so inspired that I sometimes want to write a book myself. Is it a pity, whether it's luck, I have the experience of a bad divorce, and because of the desire to kill and bury, I was able to go out for the day in the spring - I'm fine, the main thing is that I'm happy. But after reading the book, I understand that you need to polish your happiness to the state of Perfect.
The book "System of Happiness". Children and business A very relevant topic. I came across it when my dad was desperate for me and my sister to continue his business to pass on from generation to generation ...
But at the same time, from childhood, he did not instill interest in this process. I just didn't know how. And when we grew up, he didn’t understand us that we chose our own path, didn’t go for everything ready, and he took it as a betrayal. Although it is not. We love and respect him dearly. And there was risk and strength in this, we wanted to achieve everything ourselves and our own ...
read lessToday I finished this crazy journey of reading the wonderful book "Starving for Happiness: Diary of a Starving Millionaire"! This story started on Facebook, where I followed the author, just because dude!) Then I saw that he also writes books! I already had in my arsenal knowledge of fasting according to Paul Brague and once practiced fasting for 24-36 hours. Then everything was forgotten and turned around (I'm just a lazy magpie, as my friend says), but now somehow the stars aligned so that I started practicing yoga in the mornings, quit smoking, drinking alcohol, and then I remembered the usefulness of intermittent fasting! And here is this book. It's cool that the practical experience is described, it's inspiring, useful links to the YouTube channel about fasting! So far, I can hardly stand 24-36 hours! "Uncle Zhora" from the book is coming and no matter how hard I try to pull in my stomach to fight him, it's difficult! But I was inspired and want to take the bar for three days without food! p.s. Thank you Oleksandr for the useful work! I will gladly join the practices!
I very rarely read books with a "dry" theory, incomprehensible to an ordinary person, written in the language of terms and difficult to put into practice. For personal development and career knowledge, I always choose authors who have experienced what they write about.
A book from a practicing author is, first of all, tested on personal experience, an improved technique, described feedback for each chapter, as prescribed by the author in his material and zero unnecessary knowledge or those that were outdated a hundred years ago and have nothing in common with our present.
I received the book-diary "Starving for Happiness" by Alexander Suvorov, it is interesting to read about Alexander's experience, those approaches that he has tested on himself and has been successfully practicing for 7 years.
