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...
Curious.
I find that it saves it time and it gives me a lot of energy, plus the weight is steadily falling off. But would this be damaging to my health? I have around 80lbs to lose so I...
Hi all, been very happy with 16/18 hour fasts Any tips for ramping things up to 20 hours and then moving to OMAD in a month or so? Thank you
Just kind of worried I might be over doing it and wondering if it is fine to break the fast with how many I have done in the last week-ish. I had a 14 hr fast last Friday, 20...
I’ve noticed that when I’ve been Fasted for a while my vision gets better, my eyesight isn’t that bad to begin with as I can see just fine, but while I’m fasted my eyes pickup more detail, the best example...
Hi everyone, would like to do dry fasting for 20+ hours daily and would still keep exercising during the fasting hours. Currently i alternate between hot yoga and strength training and walk on the treadmill everyday (6 incline 3mph speed)....

Hey all I undertook my first 20 hour dry fast. It was much easier than expected, especially in comparison to a water fast. I didn't loose as much weight as expected (only 0.3kg), but I am already lean at about...
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 just completed by first 20 hour fast. Normally I do 14-16 a few days a week. I decided on a 20 to reset after Thanksgiving here in America. I handle it well, my biggest mistake was not eating...
I’ve hit a plateau and I need lose more. I know I can do it, I’m bringing all the sweets that I have left in the house to work tomorrow so that I can give them away. The nurses will...

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...
My aunt brought me pizza. Had to bury it in the fridge. I have learned the true meaning of suffering.
It's been easier than I thought, but right now I am struggling not to cheat. No one around and I could get away with it. But I think I'm gonna stick it out. Maybe.
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?...

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 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!
Hello guys,I’ve actually done a 36 hour fast before and right now I have exams going on.I can’t seem to cross 20 hours without eating. I just wanna be able to do 36 hours and increase my fasting window more.
Going to be hard/ but body and mind needs this. Wish me luck and any motivation helps !
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?...
… 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...
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...
Or during a long extended fast, you kinda just have to rest and do nothing/relax?
Someone give me the strength to throw it in the trash when it arrives…. 😅
I started at 5pm. Slept well, got up at 4am for work. Showered, brushed my teeth and gargled with Listerine in case of fasting halitosis. Went to work, did just fine. Got a little bit of a dry throat, but...
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
I’ve been having a terrible diet. I’ve been addicted to sugar for so long, and that’s lead to me having terrible brain fog. It’s also messed up my dopamine receptors. I want to fast for 30-36 hours once a week...
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’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 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 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...
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?

Trying to get back into going 20 - 30 hours once a week like I used to be able to do. Kinda been struggling. Any tips you guys have to ease the urges you get while fasting? (that is if...
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?

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...
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!
About to start my first 100 hours fast, the most I've ever done was 34 hours long. How much water should I be consuming daily? This is food fast, and not water fast. Does anyone take vitamins while on a...
For me it depends, I mostly keep fasting, because it just became a habit, but sometimes just will skip, and feel 100% ok with it!
First time ever, it was easy because i had some things to do and my mind wasn’t on food. I only had one green tea, nothing else. It’s easier to fast on days I have things to do or focus...

So, I have been on a health journey since June of last year, and have been doing really well so far. I am basically always doing at least one meal a day style intermittent fasting. I occasionally add...
Starting weight was 205 lbs as a 30m 5’11” and I couldn’t lose weight doing 16/8 as I love my snacks too much. Doing two 36 hour fasts a week gave me the 7,000 calorie deficit I needed in order...
Need advice on how to get the first 72 hours. I've been trying to achieve it for days but I usually fail after 24 hours. Like if my last meal was 6pm yesterday, I would get insane cravings 6pm today....
This may be a silly question but I’ve been doing IF for just over a month. I’ve been doing a 16hr fast with an 8hr eating window. Typically my eating window has been between noon and 8pm but yesterday I...
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?

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)
