hi everyone, today is my day one of water fasting. i’m very stressful and desperate about my appearance at the moment, which is why i decide to go for this “extreme” diet. posting this for accountability! i’m starting at 170 lbs (77 kg) and i hope to lose 50 lbs in 3 months.
this is the first time i tried fasting so i’d greatly appreciate any beginner tips! i also have a few questions about water fasting:
1 - how long can water fasting last safely? maybe 72 hours? a week?
2 - after i finish my 1st water fasting, how many days should i wait before going into my 2nd water fasting? and what should i eat during those days?
3 - do you have any tips to overcome cravings?
4 - how quickly can i expect to lose weight by water fasting?
thanks a lot in advance!
If you are only 170lbs, you will not lose 50lbs in 3months, thats overly optimistic, please adjust your expectations. Unless you will be doing a lot of prolonged fasts, over 72 hrs each time, and a lot of them. As a newbie to this you may not be able to do this all the time.
The longest fast on record was a consecutive 385 days. Whats your height?
