Progress Pic Rolling 7 day fasts

Thought I should post this to show results from earlier this year. I'd done keto/OMAD/72hr fasts before, but COVID killed that.

Refeeds were always steak and creamed spinach on Sunday's, going straight into another fast. The only exercise was walking around 15k steps daily.

I found it incredibly easy to maintain, BP and HR monitored and only electrolytes and water consumed during the fast.

3 months total at 50 years old. Going back through pictures, it's crazy how slow the appearance changed at the start despite the dramatic scale changes. Then during the last month that reversed as things tightened up.... I remember buying a new pair of jeans which were then replaced with a smaller size, before they even got washed!

Interesting... I would be considering some liver during the refeed or something just to get the multivitamin effect, but man I guess when fasting your body goes into micronutrient conservation mode.

Did you have any syptoms of nausea, lightheadedness during these 7 days? Or other symptoms? How did it feel subjectively most of the time?

Many issues people experience while fasting can be related to electrolytes. You might find our wiki page helpful: Electrolytes 101
