r/Water_Fasting

M/43/208. I am a long time OMAD and just completed 48 hours of fasting as of writing.

And I plan to break the fast in a couple hours. I feel fine. Just want to slowly increase the hours instead of going too long too quick.

I took one packet of LMNT per day, and no dizziness or weakness. May i know if that is enough or I should take more? It has 1000 mg sodium, 200mg potassium and 60mg magnesium.

Thank you.

Can anyone tell me how I can remineralize distilled water for it to come as close as possible to Evian, Fiji, or Mountain valley? It doesn’t have to be exact but something close.

I think I'm gonna do another 5 day water fast this week. It wasn't that hard when I first tried one a few weeks ago.

But I have a few questions.

I've read a lot about the sardine fast, some people seem to think it kind of jump starts ketosis? Idk if that's true.

I thought maybe I'd eat a can for lunch, and just stay my water fast from there. Would there be any real benefit in doing that, or should I just start my fast since I didn't eat anything yet today?

My other question is about certain pills. If I understand correctly, a multivitamin will break a fast, so I can put that off for now. I always take omeprazole, and I figure that doesn't affect it, but I also always take L-lysine every day.

I mostly take it as a preventative against cold sores, though I always hear it's good for general immune system health.

I'm a little concerned to stop taking the omeprazole and the L-lysine. I guess i could deal with horrible acid reflux or heartburn or whatever it is for a few days, but I really hate getting cold sores. And the L-lysine seems to do a good job at keeping them away, and I have a sneaking suspicion that it's at least some factor in me hardly ever getting sick anymore.

So, should I just start the fast, and skip the sardines? And are omeprazole and L-lysine gonna screw up my fast?

Thanks

16:45 16/05/2026 I have started water fasting on that time and date.

Will come here to update you my progress.

how do you guys seriously do this
i couldn’t continue more than 4 days my chest was so tight and every time i stood up i couldn’t see for nearly 1 minute

i still took my vitamins and iron aswell as electrolytes while on this fast but nothing works idk how i could have managed the whole 14 days

i fasted for 7 days, ended my fast two days ago. i miss the feeling of being fasted.
when can i start fasting again?

i don’t want to cause problems to my body or lose a lot of muscle.

i’m 18 i weigh 53 kg (116 pounds) at 166 cm (5”5).
Thank you 😊💓💓💓

I weigh 117 kg and want to do a water fast until May 23rd. Those with experience, what are your suggestions?

I’m not new on water fast I did it for 2 days and I had the most amazing results. That was in 2021. 4 years later I’m thinking of doing it again because my weight now is killing me. I’m not that heavy heavy but I’m obese {I’m 93kg F (205 lbs)} but it still hurts my back and now I’m gaining weight from stress and binge eating. And this sudden increase of weight it’s making my body ache. Especially pelvis area because I gain the most weight in there.

Before starting I want to ask some questions:

1. I heard that there are some mental things that water fast can help with! Did you had this benefit and if yes what if was?

2. if I lose weight and maybe I get more skinnier, let’s say I lose more that 10 kg if I chose to do an extended fast. If I start eating again will everything I lost be back?? All the 10 kg?? I’m not scared to gain weight back if it’s something I can handle but I don’t want to start with something that will make me restart my weight loss journey!

3. in which day was the fasting bearable?
