Hi everyone, I would like to ask if it’s possible to gain fat with yo-yo effect after water fasting for 7 days (losing 13lbs) while starting a 1 meal a day (with approx 1000kcal with my basal metabolic approx 2000kcal) so...
Hi folks who get their period! Has anyone noticed a difference in their period while fasting? Specifically taking any hormonal form of BC? I'm hoping to do a 48-hour fast while on my period, possibly longer.
Does the hunger you feel goes away as the body adapts?
If you water fast for two days, then on day 3 have a meal, would that be like starting again on day 1? Or would the fasting that you've already done mean that you entered ketosis sooner, because your glucose...
Going to be hard/ but body and mind needs this. Wish me luck and any motivation helps !
Optional info about my goals: I'm a 23O pound, 5 foot 10, 30% body fat, 32 Year Old Man & hoping to get to 15% body fat (maybe lose 70 lbs) before I start exercising to maximize "Newbie Gains" to build...
As the title states, what should I expect in this experience? I have no other obligations besides just studying for a standardized test. I imagine studying for extended periods of time would perhaps be too hard on the body.
I find stuff like this interesting. This youtube video was posted around 5 years ago on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzrYOPENuHY It's a woman who was losing weight by eating just 1 meal a day (unknowingly fasting). She was doing well. Then, as she says...
I’m trying to do this because i’m not sure if I can straight up dry fast for 7 days without a break.
I’m trying to incorporate 3 fasting days a week. Is there a noticeable difference between doing it for 3 days straight vs doing a 2 day fast, eating as normal for a couple of days and then doing a...
I do breakfast . I work long hours and I am busy the rest of the day so I figured breakfast is the most practical option . What about you ?
Does that mean you get all the health benefits of a 21 day water fast with just a 7 day dry fast? Iknow this question might seem self explanatory
I know this is probably too much but could I break my fast with a 2lb chuck roast? I have been dreaming about it all day.
Started my 30 day fast today. I'm currently a 31M, 6'0 tall, and about 310lbs. I carry a lot of my weight in my belly, so I'm really hoping to lose that. No health issues to report going in, outside...

This time around I'm thinking about fully entering ketosis **prior** to beginning my fast. I'm thinking this will make the first few days of the fast less difficult and will lessen any muscle loss. Thoughts? Experiences?

If someone wants to build muscle and could only eat one meal for the rest of their life, what should that person eat? Chicken, rice and broccoli?
Is this a thing?? Does it work? Saw it on another forum, a few people raving about it. I have never seen this anywhere on here unless I missed it?? Thanks!
Here goes nothing.
Yesterday I completed my 36 hour fast. The first day I was feeling dreadful. Depressed, low energy, lethargic, no interest in anything, constant anxiety about past and future. Next day I felt just the same in the morning but after...

I tried to fast but just could not. I felt incredibly weak and was constantly messing things up- is this normal or is it some type of medical condtion?
I'm not sure how safe it is for me to do a multiple day fast. I'm wondering if a 24 hour fast or just eating little throughout the day can provide similar benefits.

I literally gain 3-5 pounds if I go to dinner and skip a day of fasting. Does anyone else have this big of a consequence?
Is one big meal every other day sustainable? If anyones tried this I’d love to hear your experience/ results.
