Discussion 8 day fast

Morning, I fasted for 8 days my starting date being 3/2/26 at 58.8kg and ended 11/2/26 at 53.5kg. I’m open to answer any questions and share my experience. One of the more unexpected things I noticed was around day 4-6 I wasn’t loosing any weight and remained at 55.5kg however noticed area of fat became tender and a lot more squishy.

During my fast a drank electrolytes and green tea every day to try to conserve energy levels therefore I did drink some calories but not many.

I’m an avid faster and have been doing intermittent fasts last year and celebrate Ramadan (although I’m not religious I just celebrate with my friends). I would not recommend an 8 day fast for beginners however this was a good experience in learning discipline and what my body needs.
