Benefits of Distilled Water on OMAD
After six weeks drinking only distilled water, Joe vows never to go back to tap, claiming the body cannot use ordinary water's inorganic minerals. He runs through a long list of self-reported benefits, from mood and concentration to vanished muscle cramps.

Six weeks on distilled water, and a convert's list
This clip records the conversion Joe would later rank among his top recommendations: six weeks of drinking nothing but distilled water, after which he vows he will "never go back" to tap, filtered, or spring water. His stated rationale is that the body cannot use the inorganic minerals in ordinary water; distillation, he says, leaves "zero parts per million — H2O only." He recommends the switch for anyone on OMAD or water fasting, and even for people doing neither.
The origin story includes his own skepticism. The experiment began with a fast for an "unsavory feeling" along his ribs, and when a video claimed distilled water decalcifies the pineal gland, Joe says his BS detector went up — it sounded like pseudoscience — but his investigation and experience won him over.
What follows is a long self-reported benefits list, all offered as personal experience: immediately improved mood and an almost childlike optimism, better concentration within two or three days, more energy, better thirst-quenching and absorption, improved urine flow and prostate comfort ("felt like a 27-year-old down below"), quieter knees, reduced eye and gum inflammation, better skin and circulation, steadier temperature regulation, and the near-total disappearance of muscle cramps and eye twitches. Along the way he restates a standing OMAD claim: post-meal exhaustion means the meal overwhelmed your insulin capacity, and a smaller, more controlled meal keeps you productive — with distilled water, he says, the body handles the load better, though he admits he does not know why.
The practical notes are unglamorous: cheap gallon jugs from Walmart, used for tea and all his cooking, with hauling them around named as the only downside. He closes by asking viewers to run the experiment themselves and report back — the claims throughout are his own, not sourced to any study.
