i see so many people on here like "yeah lol i fasted for 2 weeks, good times". does daily alternating even work????

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)

Hi guys, day 11 now. Definitely deep in this fast... I'm running cold all the time, and I also live in Canada, so yeah... You'll likely find me these days having another hot bath or under my heated blanket. I find...
I usually do rolling 48 hour fasts so I am really scared tomorrow I wont make it and break at 48. I need motivation and advice. Thanks, friends!!
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 !
Day 9 of my fast...5 more days to go. I'm going to be honest. I'll probably go longer. You only get so few opportunities to successfully do an extended fast. If my body is okay on day 14, it'll just be another...
If you're serious about fasting, feel free to message me. I am looking for a partner who seeks motivation and advice throughout the process. ​ Fast starts on: 08/28/2022- 09/11/2022

Heya fasters, So past the 90th hour. I feel nice. I think the worst of the hunger is over. I donate monthly to my local food bank. It's an auto debit out of my credit card every month. Yesterday I made an...
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...

Well, almost at day 8, so I'm over halfway there. My body has settled into its fasting rhythm. As my period is now over, the bloat and hunger have both disappeared. I can tell I'm deep into the fast, as my movements...
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
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!
At least it is less intrusive than usual...
I’ve gained weight so i need to flush my system out
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
I. Am. So. Hungry This is the longest fast I’ve ever done, usually I do ADF for 36 - 42 hours but I thought I’d do a 72 hour fast to just say I did it, but on hour 50 this...
Never thought it would be this tough tbh
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 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?
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...
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?

Hi! I am not currently overweight (I’m 156cm/ 5’1 and 50kg/ 110lbs), but I would like to lose about 3kg/ 7lbs to get rid of some pouchy fat around my waist, and stubborn fat around my arms and thighs. I...
I plan to take electrolytes, but would love to know if other supplements are kosher. Thank you!
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?
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.

Just wondering if the 16 hours of fasting is a science. Will it not be as effective if you do 15:9 instead of 16:8?
so if i ate a tiny meal last night at 9, and my first meal is this morning at 10. lets say it took 1 hour to digest that meal. so i fasted for 13hours , 12 of those with...

Hello, Would this method prevent my metabolism from going down and still have fat loss? **Method:** Fasting once or twice a week for 24 hours each. Rest of the days eating a lower calorie diet (500 to 1000 calorie deficit).

They all say 0 kals on the packages... Although some say "0 calories - 2.5 servings" - isn't this an indication there definitely is a low amount of calories in them? Are these ruining the autophagy benefits of my 60 hour...
I'm curious what your dietary and metabolic preferences are, as fasters. What's your preferred diet, what are you eating most of the time (and especially between fasts), and why? [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/10ps67l)
Or during a long extended fast, you kinda just have to rest and do nothing/relax?

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.
