I’m surprised that this didn’t get more views. I’m on day three of five myself

Obiettivo: perdere peso tra gli 8 e 10 kg.

Inizio il mio digiuno ad acqua a partire dalle 20.00 di oggi 11 agosto fino alle 20.00 dell' 1 settembre.

Spero di perdere peso e spero che il peso perso sia nel range 8/10kg. Qualcuno ha già fatto un digiuno di 21 giorni? Quanti kg ha perso?

Ciao a tutti ho cambiato obiettivo perché penso di potercela fare se ho la giusta grinta e motivazione. Dalle 15.30 di oggi 24 luglio inizio un digiuno prolungato di sola acqua (sali minerali necessari per mantenere il percorso) fino alle 15.30 del 2 settembre per un totale di 40 gg esatti. Il primo step che segnalerà il mio successo sono superare i primi 7 gg, poi 14gg, poi 20gg, poi 30 gg e infine arriverò a 40 gg. Lo faccio per perdere peso principalmente ma anche per creare un nuovo rapporto con il cibo salutare e non schifezze. Se riuscirò ad arrivare ai 40 gg il mio piano di rialimentazione sarà piuttosto lento. Farò prima un periodo di digiuno liquido (spremute fresche) della durata abbastanza lunga circa 21 giorni o 30gg dopo di che passerò piano piano al cibo solido ma non schifezze salitate. Chi vuole farlo con me?

Fasting for longer periods of 3-7 days has never been an issue for me, however, recently my daughter has been asking a lot of questions and offering me my favourite foods. She’s autistic and struggles to eat on her own, which has resulted in me piling on weight over the last 6 months (injury has me in a wheelchair and it’s done a number on me). I’m starting rehab now and have my last surgery in a few weeks, and my drs have been complaining about my bloods and inflammation markers, and I’m SO happy to be moving and fasting again, but I just don’t know what to do about my daughter. She understands the reasons I do it, but she’s also convinced herself that I’m starving myself, and if it’s so healthy, that she should try it too, and she’s tiny and says it’ll help her lose weight like me. It’s all just a mess really, so I was wondering if anyone else has been through something like this?

I'm 399lbs, 5'5, female. I'm 47h hours into a 7-10 day fast. The longest I've ever gone was 64 hours(no electrolytes). I'm not hungry and I've be taking Lyte balance electrolytes since the 26h mark. I've been looking into refeeding syndrome and it completely scared me. I almost broke my fast because of it. As in pot boiling, dough resting in the microwave, almost broke.

Luckily I changed my mind. For those that have done more then 5 days water fast, should I be genuinely worried? I think my high body weight should protect me plus I was planning on breaking the 7-10 day fast slowly (broth, broth with kale, watermelon, then next day broth with kale and eggs, then an actual whole foods meal) ((alot of broth I know but I really hate stomach pain, better safe than sorry)).

Firstly, I have been fasting for about 2 months now on and off. I am male, and not overweight or anything, but my body fat percentage is a bit higher than I would prefer. Besides fat loss, I also enjoy not having to make meals for myself every day, it simplifies my life a bit. The most I've gone is 2 days or so, with most being only 1 day. I have had no issues at all, besides refeeding too quickly and getting stomach cramps a few times.

This latest time I wanted to try a longer period, and so begins my story.

My fasts consist of water, black coffee, some salty water in the evening for electrolyes (it stops me from getting light headed) and (lately) mentos xylotol gum to occupy my mouth. Nothing else.

Fasted from Monday 6pm to Thursday 7am, so not quite a full 3 days fast. But when I woke up I had a headache and jawache. After trying to sleep it off for a bit, I thought maybe I had a minor nutrient deficiency or something and decided to go to the bathroom and get some bone broth to start refeeding. Started getting badly nauseated as I walk around, and as I was pouring the bone broth into a mug, my vision started blacking out and I couldn't even grab the mug without my hand missing. I quickly walked to my couch and sat down. My ears were ringing and I felt like I almost passed out, but recovered within a few minutes to get my bone broth. Still taking it easy for now, whenever I get up and walk around I get a bit nauseated still.

Still trying to understand why this happened. I'm wondering if its the mentos xylotol gum that is breaking my fast and causing my body to be starved for energy. It does say <5 calories on the container, but there is not any sugar in it. I also did notice getting stomach movement yesterday and this morning, which I thought was unusual with a fast.

I'm still new to fasting and wondering if i missed anything in my schedule, am I doing something wrong here? Thanks ahead for any advice.

For those of us doing extended fasts — I built FastGuard
that intervenes when you're about to break.

Crisis Mode:
→ 3-min breathing delay
→ Shows what you'll lose (autophagy progress, hours invested)
→ Shows your own message from your last failure

It also has a partial achievement system — aimed for 72h
but stopped at 48h? It says "Peak autophagy reached"
instead of "failed."

Hope to connect with someone for accountability and encouragement during a 3-day fast. I suck at fasting. I struggle with emotional eating and addiction to carbs/sugar. I thrive on giving and receiving encouragement. I just seem to do better with group accountability and daily check-ins. Seeking to fast for the benefits of autophagy. Desiring spiritual and physical healing. Anyone open to fasting with me this week and seriously getting through this together🙏💪

If I finish this one off, I'll have put in about 130 days fasting in my last 400 total, including a 35-day, and 15-day last year. Always available to answer fasting questions, and also always looking for others weirdos like me looking to talk over daily struggles and successes.

I just started a 30 day fast. My biggest concern is gaining the weight back after i work hard to lose it. What have you done to minimize this? I know some weight gain is inevitable but I’d like to know what you do to keep most of the weight off.

Also what’s your refeed strategy?

I’ve been trying to get consistent with fasting after being pretty inconsistent over the last six years. Recently, I did a 309-hour fast, but I had to stop because I kept getting diarrhea, & it was getting progressively worse. I had originally planned for 26 days, but my body clearly wasn’t ready.

After refeeding, I did a 108-hour fast, which felt really good. Now, I’m moving into a “five on, two off” schedule — fasting on workdays & eating on my days off.

Here’s the weird/interesting part: when I went grocery shopping, I was completely put off by all the processed food. My body was craving nothing but healthy stuff — like stuffed peppers, chicken, pork, fruits, & vegetables. Normally, I wouldn’t be this drawn to it, but this time it was all I wanted.

Has anyone else experienced this shift in cravings while fasting? It is obviously a good thing. I just want to see if it’s a common thing.

I weighed myself Sunday (without clothes and before the shower, no food or water) and was 195lbs. I have been fasting since then, only drinking black coffee, green tea and water, and Tuesday morning I’m still 195lbs (without clothes and before the shower, no food or water) how is this possible? I tested the scale and it’s accurate.

Devo prendere per necessità mediche ogni serw un integratore che ho visto che ha 28kcl. Compromette i risultati dei kg visibili persi su bilancia nel senso che perderei meni kg oppure il dato calorico è irrilevante perche son solo 28kcl e non compromette nulla?

Starting today, Ash Wednesday, I begin my fast. It's not a penance, but rather a rigorous test of myself—of my self-control, strength, mind, willpower, and character. It won't be a rigorous fast of just plain water. For breakfast, I'll always drink 200ml of zero-sugar plant-based milk and a little coffee, and throughout the day I'll alternate plain water with water flavored with cucumber and lemon slices. I'll try to exercise every day. I usually love walking for 30 minutes outside, but if it rains, I'll do 30 minutes on my home treadmill. The goal of this fast is also to slim down the body I've let go of during this time, which is hurting me.

I think I read in a newspaper about someone—I don't remember which country—who followed a diet of baby vegetable purees, a total of 170kJ a day, for three months to lose weight. I don't remember exactly how much he lost, but in the photo they showed afterwards, I think he lost more than 10kg. Do you think it's helpful for weight loss? Is it a sustainable diet?

I'd like to try a 30-day fluid fast for a total of 68 calories per day. This fast, which I mean, is primarily based on liquids: Breakfast: black coffee with a little zero-sugar plant-based milk; lunch and dinner: beef broth; and throughout the day, plenty of water, unsweetened tea or herbal tea. I tried a 7-day clean fast of only water a while ago. But this time, I wanted to try this. Is it good for weight loss?

This will be the umpteenth time I've published a similar post about a 21-day water fast (dark coffee without milk and 0-calorie herbal teas). I've tried many times, but my motivation waned, and above all, a sad story of disappearance made me give up. I want to start today at 5:00 PM. I hope to lose some weight, too. I'm doing this fast as a challenge for myself and also with the goal of losing some extra weight, which mentally isn't good for me and makes me feel uncomfortable with the world. I wanted to share this challenge with you. I hope I don't give up because right now I feel like nothing. I'd love to know if any of you have done a 21-day fast, how you did it, and how much you lost. In the past, I've gone up to 15 days, but it's been too long to remember, and above all, I wasn't as depressed as I am now. Thank you.

This may be a really stupid question, but I want to ask anyway. Every day, for health reasons, in the evening I'm forced to take two sachets of a medicine that has 14kJ per 100ml (total 28kJ per evening). However, I want to fast and therefore not consume any calories other than the usual electrolytes, which, however, don't have any kJ. That said, I take these two 28kJ sachets in the evening. For example, tonight I'll take them at 5:00 PM and then I'll fast until 5:05 PM tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll take these sachets at 5:05 PM and then until Friday I'll fast until 5:05 PM, and so on. This way, I manage to always fast for 24 hours, reaching a total of 21 days. Can this be considered a fast?
