I’m 5’6 and I’m 213 pounds (97kgs) I’ve been struggling with cravings
Everytime I try to fast, I fast till 4-5pm that’s when the hunger comes and cravings and I breakdown and I overeat sugary foods. How do I beat the cravings and continue to do my fast
Also I do not set an end date, I wanna do a 21 or 30 day fast, fast till I reach my goal weight of 70kgs
Is there a problem to my approach if yes pls guide me
If you are over a 40 BMI, what is the most weight you lost on a water fast? What is the longest you went on a water fast. Please do not hit me with what’s unhealthy and what is not. This post isn’t for you. I just want to know about miraculous results. Please do not talk about amputation or try to be funny. Thanks.
I am 25F, 225 lbs. I’ve done two 7 day water fasts before, and both times I developed a red, painful rash all over my upper body around day 7.
The first time, I thought it was some kind of allergic reaction and broke my fast since I had already reached my goal. The second time, the same thing happened and it was bad enough that I went to the ER. They gave me medication and sent me home, and I broke the fast again.
Other than the rash, I actually felt fine during both fasts. I’m interested in fasting again because it has been one of the easiest ways for me to lose weight, but I’m worried the rash will come back. I also have gastritis, which I manage with medication.
Has anyone experienced something similar during prolonged fasting? Could the rash actually have been caused by the fast, or does it sound like a coincidence? Would you personally avoid fasting again after this?
Currently 122 hours into a water fast. I’m 6’0” and started at 202 lb, currently at 195 lb.
I’ve done a few extended fasts before: two 72-hour fasts, one 96-hour, one 100-hour, and one 120-hour fast.
Current readings are 58 mg/dL glucose and 4.2 mmol/L ketones.
My original goal was 7 days (168 hours), but now that I’m getting close, I’m wondering if it’s worth pushing a little longer.
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!
Idc man I just want to be lean. Any means possible. So I want to know if you can roll extended fasts. Like 21-30 days. Obviously you know what rolling fasts is but can I fast for 30 days, eat one meal then hop into another 30 day fast? Or can I do that with a 21 day fast?
I really don't want to have to refeed for a gazillion days before I start fasting again so I'm asking this. I might just have to stick with rolling 5-7 day fasts. Any idea? Anyone fast for 21-30 days and eat a decently big meal right after and start fasting again?
Thanks
Btw not trying to promote any unsafe behavior mods, just a question
I've heard that fasting can heal almost anything in your body when done long enough or for the right amount of time ?
Hello everyone,
I plan to start a 30 day fast or however long it takes for me to reach my goal weight (160lb, currently 200lb, age 24). I've tried multiple times before but only made it two days. I will use this post to update my progress and to keep me accountable. I really want to do it this time, I'm sick of being this weight and feeling this way. If someone can help or is looking for a accountability partner during this time please reach out!
Wish me luck!
We’re starting at 12 PM Eastern
I just broke my first 3 day fast this morning. I fasted for 78 hours in total. I woke up this morning and drank a mug of Bone Broth. I honestly don't feel hungry in the mornings, but I made myself start with Bone Broth because I've been warned so much of bad refeeding. About 10 minutes ago, I had a piece of guacamole toast and an egg over easy on Rye Bread.... Let's see how it goes.
Male - 47 yrs. Old. SW: 284 lbs. CW (this morning before food): 275.
My plan is to start fasting for another 72 tomorrow morning, and see if I can work through a couple of months of rolling 72's.
Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated. I'm doing this for Health, Weigh Loss and Autophagy.
Hi all. I just wanted to share that I am starting a 21-day water fast, and today is Day 1. I'm very bad about giving in to temptation and I hope that going public will help me stay the course. Wish me strength please!
My ketones got to 8 mmol/L on day 5 of my water fast. Glucose about 65.
At what levels should someone decide to stop the fast? Or have a small strategic snack to keep them under control?
I'm on sglt2 inhibitor (empagliflozin) which specifically warn against euglycemic ketoacidosis at ketones over 3.0 with low or normal glucose.
I stop the medication before any therapeutic fasting but any research I do still warn against letting ketones go too high, especially over 8-10. Thoughts?
I want to fast 30 days as a woman is it safe ?
I want to lose more than 30+ pounds with water fasting does someone lost this much of weight and kept this off after the fasting ended?
How to lost the most of the weight of fat and water weight and not a lot of muscle?
How to do it the healthiest way that possible?
