Does anyone fast 5 days and eat on the weekends? If so what is your experience with this 😊 Thank you!!!

So made it through day one, I hear this where things could be fine or get hard. Let's find out!

Hey guys. A newbie to extended fasting here. Just wanted to know: do I need to take additional electrolytes when doing a 2 or 3 day fast? If I do, please recommend some natural sources, as I live in a...

I do 16/8 Intermittent fasting. I find myself drained of energy if im not eating for prolonged periods of time during periods. Should I reduce the fasting hours or simply not fast during the first two three days?
I've gotten fasting for 24 hours down pretty well, but always cave somewhere around 28 - 36 hours. I was wondering if I could fast on two separate non consecutive days and still consistently lose weight each week?
So I broke my 3.5 day dry fast today with electrolytes, bone broth, coconut water and two smoothies. I was wondering if I could continue this cycle of dry fasting, liquid refeed, and dry fasting again. My body stores too...
Or is it better/worse ? For weight loss essentially.

After losing over 20lbs following my first fast, I'm back for more. I went from 216 to 189 and then have been hovering around 198-200 for the past two weeks. ​ Starting today I'll be going for an 8 day fast...
Hey guys, im new to this sub. Im 5 hours from finishing my first two days. My goal is to hit 14 days and see how my body feels and if i can continue on to 21. I have been...
Would this be a good idea? I saw some of you doing dry then switch to a water fast, so I'm wondering will it be fine to so vice versa?
Day 2 complete. I feel pretty much the same in terms of energy levels, although my mouth is starting to get dry. I weighed in yesterday at 220.6 and today at 218.4. I'm for sure in ketosis because my tongue...

I'm trying to lose as much pounds as I can before May when I have my gyno surgery. Thinking of incorporating fasting on weekends when I don't necessarily need my vitamins to power through the day. Thoughts?
Hey people, so i read alot about fasting and it seems like for the full effect you need anything between 10 to 14 days. Today i eat about 1500 kalories, tommorow less than 1k and the day after 500. I want...

Has anyone here done this routine? 16:8 Monday-Friday? I am able to get away with weekdays, but weekends are difficult but will be trying my best to do it. ​ Would love to hear if anyone has done this and compared...

I may have to break my fast because I feel terrible. I thought I was just dehydrated since I forgot to drink water but everytime I drink and I piss it back out or nearly shit myself. I don't know...
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...
Have just finished day 2 of what hopefully can be a consistent routine of 2 days fasting, 1 day of not (but not like, eating a whole pizza). This is the only thing that might really encourage me, so I figured...
Is it safe to do this for weight loss or is a different fasting protocol recommended for this purpose? I was considering this approach because usually after 2.5 days, my mouth starts to feel and taste gross and I start feeling...

These are the [electrolytes](https://www.reddit.com/r/fasting/comments/uemc1m/question_electrolyte_supplements_and_losalt_410/) I took last time and will start taking at day 3 or 4.

I am doing a dirty fast as it’s my first time going this long. For me, this means I am having bone broth and the occasional scoop of collagen (maybe once a week). A couple days ago, I had a...
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.

Hey fellow fasting comrades! On day 2 of my water fast and wanted to post my daily check in! So I was able to sleep decently. As I mentioned in my previous post, I have...
For weightloss goals I wonder if this would be more ideal then longer dry fasts as mentally 3-7 days is tougher then 2 days. So a 10 day fast would have 5 days dry and 5 water in total
I do the random 3 to 5 day fast. But what i really want to do is eat every other day. If you have been doing something like this please share your experience.
I'm not depressed from fasting, just having a depressing evening. This is when I usually indulge in comfort food. What do I do? :'(
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.
I did a dry fast for 48 hours and a few more like 5-6 and finally managed to hit my desired weight and wish to maintain it from now. Now I'm a bit nervous about breaking the fast. What I...

any thoughts? i saw a guy on here who did 5 day fasts with 3 days of eating then repeating and lost like 50 pounds in like 2 months or something.
What is the optimal length/schedule for day-to-day dry fasting to maximize health and longevity ?
I’m 5’8 155-160, and down from 178 and I was wondering how many calories I should eat to keep losing fat.
Just checking is this normal? Has anyone experienced something similar. Sorry mean bowel movements

I find that I can naturally do 24 hours but afterwards I want to cave. My goal is to fast for one week a month
Do they yield the same results? Would the 7 day fasts be more tolerable and safer? This is what Dr. Jason Fung said on the topic: “Longer fasts have more power, but more risk. To me, there is no reason to fast...
If so, how is the experience?

Any recommendations? It’s worth it or should I stick to DF. I’m doing it for health maintenance/prevention
[deleted]
my main goal is to lose 50 pounds in 3 weeks and the researches I've done suggest that one day of dry fasting equals 3 days of water fasting in terms of effectiveness. what's your take on this?
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
So yea is that okay?
Would one big cheat day to myself mess up the weight loss streak I have going on? Does it all restart?
Going to be hard/ but body and mind needs this. Wish me luck and any motivation helps !
So I’m doing 16/8, it’s going relatively okay, but I feel bloated and my stomach cramps won’t really go away, if I breathe in heavy it hurts more. Am I doing something wrong?

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 everyone. I ate on my fasting day. I’m doing ADF. Should I break my fast and eat normally or leave it. Feeling a bit guilty

Which of these will help you retain more lean muscle? I read somewhere in a study that participants who exercised and water fasted for extended periods of time lost only 10% of lean mass and 90% fat. Compared to...
