I'm brand new to dry fasting. Not quite ready to jump into a 20-hour dry fast or whatever. I've been doing 12-hour fast the last couple of days. Is this a good starting point? Thanks!
This is my first 48 hour fast. My goal is to reach ketosis. I ate my multivitamin this morning without thinking, 3g sugar 15 calories. If I hold this fast for the original 48 hours should I still hit my...
I’m sure it may be a habit or programming in my body, but I get a huge hunger “pain” at 12 hours of a fast. Has anyone else had this? Is it really a pain?
Weird question, but does anyone do this / know any reason it’s a bad/ good idea? I already water fast for 36 hours 3 times a week but thinking of mixing in some dry fasting once I’m in ketosis (about...

According to some researchers, fasting for 12–16 hours can cause the body to turn its fat stores into energy, which releases ketones into the bloodstream. This encourages weight loss.
Y’all think 12 hours intermittent fasting is enough? Reason I ask l, I’m trying to bulk and am having hard time eating enough calories in 8-10 hours per day. Thoughts?
I have started IF 2 weeks back and I am on 16:8. I have been observing that I get very cold when it's been more than 12-14 hours of fast. This happens during workdays only, not on weekends when I...

Hello! I finally decided to limit my calorie intake by restricting my eating window. I also researched the benefits of fasting and I would love to see those to my health and weight. The thing is, our work as nurses demand...
Ignoring that one may be easier than the other (all dependent on personal preference), is there a benefit to one slightly longer fast over 3 ‘medium’ fasts? (Or vice versa)
I'm thinking of dry fasting 12 hours per day (2 hours before sleep, 8 hours sleep, and 2 hours after sleep) Would it have any positive effects on health / autophagy?
Right about that mark or a little after I get so confused and one could say even dizzyish. Is this a normal thing that I should just power through? I tend to get quite anxious during this period as well...

The reason I’m asking is because 72 hour fast I can lose 1-3 lbs depending. I lift/cardio 4 days a week I’m 5’8 around 190 lbs. if I estimated I’m 12-14 % bf, so I’m lean what would be faster?...
Long time lurker, first time poster. I have lost 12 pounds since thanksgiving with 14-16 hour daily fasts and an occasional 20. I have recently started reading Gin Stephens’s book “Fast, Feast, Repeat” where she advices to not intermittent fast...
I struggle to get past 12 hours

My aunt brought me pizza. Had to bury it in the fridge. I have learned the true meaning of suffering.
Just checking is this normal? Has anyone experienced something similar. Sorry mean bowel movements
I am fasting 21 hours two days a week and 17 the other days. When I'm fasting 17 hours I'm fine, but doing 21 hours really makes me irritable. Does anyone else have this? Does this pass? Very curious about other...

I’ve been intermittent fasting for a few years now and I’ve enjoyed doing so. Would like to try extended fasts for 24 hours or even more. What are your recommendations?
Going to be hard/ but body and mind needs this. Wish me luck and any motivation helps !
Starting tonight. 165 pounds. Sauna in the morning one hour(with mini break in between) and at night one hour. Everyday of the fast.

Is this still a good way to see results? I know most people in this sub really push it to days even, but I'm experimenting with daily 18 hours, sometimes pushing to 20 when I can. I'm also on keto...
Is a 24 hour fast the same as skipping a whole day? For past 4 days I’ve been eating 24 hours my last meal so like from 8pm on Tuesday to 8pm on Wednesday. Will this have the same effect...

Someone give me the strength to throw it in the trash when it arrives…. 😅
Thank you in advance to any and all replies.
What would be better/more effective? 84 consecutive hours of fasting or 120 hours ADF style (3 40 hour fasts) throughout the week
At least it is less intrusive than usual...
I’ve gained weight so i need to flush my system out
It’s been working for me because I also pair it with a calorie deficit. But I can’t tell if it’s the OMAD alone or the calorie deficit that is helping me to lose weight. I do realize the longer you...
This was testing the waters to do a routine or perhaps a longer fast (but we want medical supervision for the longer ones.) I have some quirky questions: Anyone's sense of smell get sharper into day 2? I noticed it but...
I have been fasting for a few years but never more than 20 hours and want to do it over 24 hrs. What does your fasting schedule look like? Do you go ahead and take meds with empty stomach?...
I’m about to do a 72 hour fast and was wondering can I go into the gym right after I break my fast or should I wait a day then go back in?
I’m wondering should I stick it out to the 72 hour mark or can I drink some water and still reap the benefits >~< currently at work and it’s hard y’all lol

Never thought it would be this tough tbh
Hey folks. I went to my psychiatrist this week, and he told me he's doing a specialisation degree in nutrology. He told me that, since I started taking a new medicine for my ADHD (that inhibits appetite as an "adverse...
I have successfully fasted 20 hours a day for a week, and I feel much better! I am very happy with it, but the weekends are causing me issue. My son is young, and I don't want to introduce any ideas...
Basically just to deplete my muscle glycogen and excess water quickly. Is this safe enough?
I accidentally ended up eating at about 2:30 yesterday afternoon when normally it’s about noon my time. Will there be any negative consequences to breaking early so I can stick to my noon preference?
[deleted]
And my hands are trembling. Should I break my fast? What's causing this?
Would it be good to eat tonight and then start again after 7pm for another three days? Will I continue to get weight loss benefits this way?
So I’m looking to fast this weekend, but with my schedule it’s much easier for me to break my fast after around 65 hours. Is the difference significant, as I know autophagy peaks at 72 hours?
Curious.
