3 day water fast

I’d like to do a three day water fast but don’t want to lose any weight. I fast 20 hours a day every day at the moment. Do I work up to it or just go for it? Any tips?

Answer

Personally, I’ve done a couple of 48 hour fasts after doing 18/6 for a couple weeks with no issues at all (taking proper electrolytes).

I don’t think it’s possible not to lose any weight doing a 3 day fast. Eat extra on the days leading up to it I guess.

Answer

You won’t lose much - and like someone else said you’ll gain it back probably.

I just did a 72hrs fast - broke it on Wednesday night. 2nd day was rough but otherwise good.

Probably going to try a 5-day soon, maybe in Spring.
