What was your regimen?
What’s my routine? No sugars, no grains, keto, 18/6 IF and at least one 72 hr fast a month. Also, eye cream, face cream, lotion for everything else right after the showr plus sun screen and a full brim hat (no baseball caps) whenever am going to be outside more than 10 minutes. I also drink at least 3 liters water a day on top of other beverages.
Does my skin look better and how? Yes! The crows feet around my eyes are gone, my complexion is clearer, my skin is smoother and softer. I look 10-15 years younger.
I did, my very first (intentional) EF, I went for 9 days. 17+ pounds later, my skin was absolutely glowing and so clear! It was a super clean water only fast (plus electrolytes). My skin has been trash since I was a teenager, I’m 43 now. The skin results of that fast lasted for a good while, couple months at least. I have tried to recapture that over the years and keep falling short. I’m currently on day 2 of 10, so I am super curious to see what my skin has in store for me. I would trade being overweight for great skin… Lol
I absolutely did! My hands have looked seriously old since I was in fifth grade! Lol! I am now 51 and my hands look younger than my age for once. But that’s not the biggest improvement, my elbows used to feel like 50 grit sandpaper. Seriously, it was disgusting. Now they are as smooth as a babies butt. Plus many other freckles and spots have faded or disappeared completely.
Yes! This is exactly why I started fasting in the first place! I have severe eczema and psoriasis all over my body and chronic urticaria, allergic to just about everything… and the only time I have ever experienced full “remission” is after an extended fast. Significant improvement after 24 hours, completely clear after 48 hours, and a period of 3-6 months remission after 72 hours. It’s a miracle cure for sure, but not exactly sustainable for me, as I have a small body frame and need to gain 5-7lbs of fat before any extended fast 😕
Def have much better, glowy skin! One huge thing I noticed is I had bumpy feeling elbows, knees, & back of my thighs and fasting has caused it to be soo soo smooth. I have had these areas bumpy for as far as I can remember. No breakouts, no pimples.
