I commend you for gearing up for a 30 day fast. If you’ve never fasted before, don’t be too hard on yourself if you end the fast early, or if you decide to put some refeeds in there. In 2020, I did 28 fasts. Most were 48-72 hours, and two of them were 96 hours. I lost about 75lbs, but sadly I gained it all back over the following 19 months. I’m now back to fasting. I did a 72 hour fast two weeks ago and am halfway through my 2nd 72 hour fast as I write this. I plan to only do 72 hour fasts (typically Fri, Sat, Sun) unless I have to work over the weekend. The best advice I got was from watching Cole Robinsons Snake Diet videos - when you start just do a 72 hour fast to prove to yourself that you can do it. I took that advice back in 2020 and amazed myself that I was able to accomplish it. As a result, I ended up doing 28 fasts that year. Unfortunately I got away from fasting because I got into weightlifting & TRT (I’m a late 40s male) and was mistakenly worried that I would lose my muscle gains. So I went 19 months without fasting but unfortunately gained all the weight back. Now I see this as more of a lifestyle as opposed to a short term means to an end. I am eager to quickly get the weight off, but I will probably never again go another 6 months without doing a fast. So my advice is to start with a 72 and treat this more as a lifestyle. You can certainly be successful at a 30 day, but if you choose that, go in with the mindset of “lifestyle” as opposed to “one and done”. You’re going to do great and keep up posted! 👍
