I did a 7 day fast the first week of this month, and am 3 days into a (hopefully) 10 day fast as a final push to drop fat before my sports season starts and I transition back to a daily 16:8 schedule.
SW:164 lbs CW: 161 lbs
Second photo is a body composition reading from the Hume Body Pod the day I started this fast, and I'm excited to see what win have changed by the end 😆
Hi everyone! I've been doing OMAD/IF for about 8 years and have done a few 48-56 hour fasts before (failed attempts at 72 😆. Last weekend I decided to try a 72 again and actually made it! And I felt so good that I just kept going all the way to 7 days 13 hours. I'm super excited and wish I had before/after pics.
I'm 5'8" woman and started at 171 lbs. Just before I broke the fast I was down to 157, and after one day I was up to 161. I'm hopeful that's the only bit that will come back but we'll see. I felt great the whole time, no issues with refeeding, and it seems like my base fitness is not noticeably changed. The great part is that overall I'm noticeably more trim in the face, arms and legs, with my stomach being the most drastic change...I started noticing my stomach getting flatter after the first 3-ish days.
Planning to take 2 weeks to go back to my normal routine to make sure there are no lingering effects and then might try a second 7 day fast.
