Finished My 9 Day Water Fast

Hello, all! I just finished up a water fast and was posting in case anyone had any questions or wanted to share their experiences as well.

A little about me: 20 F, 5’7, SW: 184 CW:170.5

I embarked on this fast mainly for weight loss and detox purposes but also to test my willpower.

Let me know if you have any specific questions about my personal experience or you would like to share your own. Happy fasting!

Answer

First of all, great job and congrats!
Now, I wanted to ask if you experienced any energy from days 4/5 and on. I’ve heard that for water fasts, if you get through days 1-3, then for the subsequent days following, you feel like you have a lot more energy and feel like you could keep fasting on forever.

Also, was there significant muscle loss? Do your muscles show more at the end of your fast/do you look leaner?

Answer

I think I definitely look leaner and I haven’t weight trained in the gym yet so I’m not sure if there’s any muscle loss. But I was pretty tired most of the time. I mean, I had more energy when I woke up in the morning but I still needed a nap later on. The hunger wasn’t even noticeable after the 3rd day but I got my period on the 8th day and felt so hungry after that so I stopped
