Maintaining weight after a 21-day water fast
I’m wondering how people maintain their weight after a 21-day water fast.
I’ve done alternate-day fasting before, and I really enjoy it. I usually lose weight quickly, and I like how clean and skinny I feel while fasting.
Now I’m thinking about challenging myself by doing a 21-day water fast because I think I’m still too fat. My plan would be to slowly reintroduce food afterward and then go back to alternate-day fasting to continue losing weight when classes start.
For those who have done a long water fast, how much weight did you keep off after refeeding? Did you regain most of it, or were you able to maintain your results? Also, do you think returning to alternate-day fasting afterward is a good strategy?

Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to reply and share your experiences. Your comments really helped me think about what I actually want and what would be best for me 😊😊
After reading everything and thinking about it, I’ve decided not to do the 21-day fast. Instead, I’m going to stick with alternate-day fasting and work out regularly while working toward my goal.
I really appreciate everyone’s advice and kindness! ❤️
