I’m pretty new to fasting and am trying to still figure out what is comfortable and sustainable for me. I’ve been lurking this sub a lot recently and I see a lot of people talking about doing “rolling 48s” or “rolling 72s”. Just curious like how frequently do you do these fasts? How much time do you take to refeed between each fast? I was imagining something like doing a 72hr fast once per week with the remaining 4 days being able to have food, but yeah I’m just confused what people on this sub mean by “rolling” fasts.
Rolling fasts typically go for the specified amount of hours and then a refeeding period of between one and three meals before resuming fasting. The eating period is usually between 1 and 24 hours.
You can absolutely have success with your plan of a 72 once a week!
