Repeated 5-day fasts with 2-day refeeds, is this a good idea?
I weigh 110 kg (242 lbs) at 165 cm (5'5") and I’m female. I’d really like to get back to my old weight.
I’ve done several 5–7 day fasts before, but this time I’m considering doing multiple fasts back-to-back. My idea is to fast for 5 days, have 2 days of refeeding, then fast for another 5 days, and so on. I’m thinking about doing a total of six 5-day fasts.
What do you think about this approach? What should I be aware of? Should I even do this, or is it just a bad idea?
I’d also really like to know if there’s anything I can do to prevent hair loss. I experienced hair loss the last time I did too many fasts close together.
And finally, roughly how much weight could I expect to lose over the six weeks?
I’d appreciate any advice or personal experiences!
