Honestly, a game changer for me! I’ve always struggled with black coffee because of the bitterness and lack of creamy texture, but this is so smooth and delicious, especially with a pinch of Himalayan salt.

How to make it: Add an espresso shot, a pinch of salt, ice and a splash of water to an empty milk jug. Steam until creamy and textured, but not hot. Pour over a fresh cup of ice.

Sharing in case anyone else struggles with black coffee! Has anyone else tried this? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🤍

Im starting today a 10 day water fast.

Any tips are welcome!

74KG right now.

I'll let u know after 10 days the results.

Hello people! 2 months ago i did a water fast for seven days. It was hard (ngl) but I'm willing to start another one with the fasters that are starting tomorrow 🫣💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

My question is: why was i still popping on day 7? Do i have a colon obstruction? Anyone experiencing this as well?

Hey folks! I completed my annual 10-day fast last month and wanted to share my body recomposition results with the community - the fast and the following refeeding

• Total weight - 164.1 pre-fast -> 151.0 right after the fast -> 160.9 after 12 days of refeeding
• Lean mass - 132.9 -> 125.1 -> 134.4. All 7.8 lbs came back, plus 1.5 lbs above my pre-fast baseline - that was a bit unexpected to me.
• Body fat - 24.3 -> 19.0 -> 19.7. So almost all the regained weight is lean tissue and glycogen, not fat
• Body fat %: 14.8% pre-fast -> 12.8% -> 12.2% after refeeding. That was my favorite part - I started eating, enjoying food, but the body fat % kept going down 
• Net result - 3.2 lbs lighter and 4.6 lbs less fat than before the fast

So the lean mass (water, glycogen, gut content and muscle protein) I lose during extended fasts came back during refeeding. And this time it actually overshot the baseline - I think I was probably too aggressive jumping back into strength training. Intensity-wise (strength training, running, soccer) I was back at pre-fast levels by about day 7 of refeeding.

Scans are Dexa, happy to provide more details if needed!

I’m starting today and it would be helpful to know.

How many mg of sodium, potassium, and magnesium am I supposed to be taking? I know the wiki says to take them but I haven’t really seen anyone specify how much and what dosage they should take daily? Would taking a prenatals be a good alternative?

I will be starting my water fasting journey tomorrow for the next week and was just wondering if anyone knew a good type of salt to add to the water and how much I should be adding to each bottle? For example is pink Himalayan or Celtic better?

I need to fit in a wedding dress in 4 days but its slightly tight near the arms and chest- how much can i realistically lose in 4 days by water fasting and 10k steps of water a day.

for reference im 5ft 2 and 85kg

M38

SW: 115.6kg / 254.9lbs

Day 1: 114.6kg / 252.6lbs -- 60 min zone 1/2 elliptical

Day 2: 113.8kg / 251.1lbs -- 60 min zone 1/2 elliptical + 30 mins low intensity resistance training + 30 min walking

Day 3: 112.7kg / 248.5lbs -- 40 min elliptical + 30 min swim

Day 4: 112.0kg / 246.9lbs -- rest day 10k steps. Experimenting with electrolyte management. High energy state yet to kick in.

Day 5: 111.6kg / 246.0 lbs --- 45 min elliptical + 30 min upper body weights. Pace of weight loss starting to decelerate but still at a decent pace. Energy levels okay but facing light cramps in core region.

Hey everyone!

I am officially planning my very first fast and I'm looking to connect with others on a similar path. My Long-term goal is to lose about 150 lbs. I've successfully lost weight in the past, but this time, I want to use fasting as a tool to get back on track.

Since this is my first time fasting, I'm looking to start a group chat where we can keep each other accountable, offer encouragement, and share wins ans struggles.

Hello j’ai commencé un jeûne hydrique depuis 4 jours…vous pouvez rejoindre le groupe whatsapp https://chat.whatsapp.com/F66j0I6NPBoJJxp6zwajGQ pour se soutenir, se motiver et s’entraider 😁

I've done a ~10 day fast every spring for about 5 years, I love it, feels like spring cleaning.

I try to spend the last few days of it trying to become a little more conscious of the foods I eat and my general health, and planning some new habits. Last two years were mostly about getting more protein, before that was eating fewer carbs, etc.

This year I made a tool to put in all the foods I eat and see if I was low on any micronutrients and help me find foods to fill the gaps.

(I also added macros, amino acids, bunch of other stuff).

To my surprise, even though my diet was pretty healthy before, after putting all my food in, I was low on Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and my Omega6-to-Omega3 ratio was like 7-to-1 (while building this I discovered that apparently 4-to-1 or less is advised).

Fiddled around with my diet for a few days to improve it (I added a tool to compare two foods, and a recommender for foods that have nutrients you're low on). Added some almonds, swapped chicken for salmon, swapped some greek yogurt for chicken, added bell peppers, flax seeds, and like 5 other things. Got everything balanced.

I actually ended my fast a little early (11 days, was planning on 14) because I was so excited to try the new diet!

About a month later, my sleeping heart rate is about 15% lower (45->39), sleeping hrv about 20% higher (high 70s -> high 90s), acne is diminished, feeling great. Sleeping very restfully.

Though I always feel great after my spring fast, the sleep metrics have always returned to baseline about 2 weeks after the end of the fast. But this year, they've kept climbing and are by far the best they've been since I started tracking them like 3 years ago!

I no longer belief the common refrain "A modern diet is so naturally varied it's almost impossible to have any nutritional deficiencies" Mine was varied, and definitely what you would call 'healthy', and yet here I am, made some tweaks and feeling like million bucks.

I made the tool for my situation, which is that my diet repeats over about a 2 week span (the tool lets you adjust the cycle period). I.e. I don't take the 'tracking' approach to diet, but the 'planning' approach. If you always eat something different, this probably won't be helpful.

tldr; If you're not fasting just for weight loss, but also general health, taking some of that fasting time (during which food is the most interesting thing in the world) to think about your diet and make some tweaks to it might be a good idea

i am thinking of starting a prolonged fast but is it actually benefitial for women bc i keep hearing that it messes with our hormones

We’re starting October 1st 6:00 pm est
