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...
… and I’m really starting to feel it! Drinking lots of water and reminding myself why I started and that I’m so close to the finish line 💪💥 any encouragement or tips would be very helpful right now! Also, any suggestions...
I've been fasting regularly since June, but lately I've been slacking. Decided to do a 96 hour fast to regain confidence and control. Wish me luck! Food cravings are bad right now...
I'm super confused. Yesterday night I was in the 90s and now one hour after drinking 800ml of water with lemon and salts I'm at 114 without eating anything. 🤔 I've read a doctor saying when we fast the liver pulls...
I'm trying to build up to OMAD and then 24 hour fasting slowly by fasting for 14,16 and 18 hours. But I experience gastric issues and acidity when I cross 18 hours without food. Is it just me or anyone...
Edit. I meant 16:8 in topic. Not 18:6. What’s more important. Like I can typically stop eating at 8 pm and then start eating at 12 pm next day. So 16 hrs. But if I did 8-12 for a week...

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)
Ive started doing 18 to 19 hour fasts out of desperation due to feeling like i just cant stomach carbs and just feel bad eating. So i got onto fasting like the buddhists do that is 18 to 19 hours....
[removed]
does anyone do 18:6 IF? whats ur schedule? like what time do u start your eating window and stop it? idk what would be best
Some people suggest that 18 hour fasting is significantly better than 16 hours. Does 2 hours really make that much difference? Seems a little unlikely no? (Goal here is weight loss)

My aunt brought me pizza. Had to bury it in the fridge. I have learned the true meaning of suffering.
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?...
Hi all! planning on doing another 72 hour water fast. Who wants to join? Started around 2 hours ago. Wishing everyone here all the best!
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?
I'm only 18 hours into my first fast and I'm feeling kinda cruddy. Partially due to no caffeine I'm sure, but I thought the headaches, nausea and flu feeling wouldn't start until tomorrow. I keep reading it's going to get...
Going to be hard/ but body and mind needs this. Wish me luck and any motivation helps !
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...
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...
Because I read that you should move your meal 2 hours back from when the feeding window ends because thats like when the fasting starts...

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.
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?
This is as an accountability post. I will update after every 66 hour fast and hopefully my scale arrives soon so I can track weightloss per fast too. Lets see if I can lose 40-50lb by the new year....
I am using Himalayan salt for the first time and at almost the halfway point of my fast, it really makes a difference--just one crystal has an uplifting, energizing effect. I see how people can manage the longer fasts using...
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 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?

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?
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...
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?
I’m new to fasting and have tried to read all of the supplements on this page. I’ve been fasting every day either 16:8 or 18:6 depending on supper time. My question is can I interchange between times or do I...
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.

I’ve been doing fasts for a while, working my way up to this. Is there anything I need? I have electrolytes/sodium drops, idk if there’s something else that I might need. Also any tips? Thanks!
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).

2nd time doing a 48 hour fast in a little over 24 hours in. How do you guys get through the last 24? How much black coffee do you consume? What are some personal experiences with this length of fast?...
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?
