My aunt brought me pizza. Had to bury it in the fridge. I have learned the true meaning of suffering.
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 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?...
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...
… 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...
Never thought it would be this tough tbh
24 hours no food or caloric drinks/24 hours weight watchers green plan. Will be doing this for the next 60 days. Any tips or tricks? I've done it before for 45 days and saw good results.
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?
Hello! This is my first time fasting, and I've just started yesterday-- the thing is, I want to break my fasting with a good protein diet today, specifically with 2 hard-boiled eggs only for 3 meals today, then start fasting...
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).
I'm so stoked and I'm still going 🙌 I feel like I've climbed a mountain! Woooooo! I have had this goal every day for SO many months but could only swing IF w/ OMAD. I'm not pressuring myself as to how...
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...
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....
My husband and I are experienced fasters and regularly do 4 day fasts. We keep up with electrolytes and hydration. The problem is after 24 or so hours my husband gets a pain in his diaphragm where it meets the...
I plan to do my first 24 hour fast tomorrow. Will working out with weights and cardio make the 24 fast harder? Thank you!
Hey I’m beginning a fast today. Was hoping I could find some accountability buddies for check ins and support who will be beginning with me today.
Is that a bad idea? And would I lose the same weight as if I'd kept dry fasting a couple days longer?
And in not why? like what exactly would happen if you did that?
Is this a thing?? Does it work? Saw it on another forum, a few people raving about it. I have never seen this anywhere on here unless I missed it?? Thanks!
I know that some of y'all 48 and 72 hour fasters are like psssshhhh, but I'm excited about it. First time not eating for 24 hours - on purpose. I was definitely a little hangry in the last hour, but...
I’ve been doing 20:4 for a few days now, I’ve done it before but I fell off the wagon and Here we are again. Any tips or tricks to help with 24s? I sort of get nervous thinking about not...
I am on keto, omad, and am thoroughly fat adapted. I have plenty of body fat to run off of. I keep my electrolytes up. I don’t have any nutrient deficiencies. But when I do a multiple-day fast, I don’t...
Id imagine that the 48 hour fast is best of the three for weight loss, and more specifically fat loss, but how much of a difference does it truly make?
how is it different,?
I’m thinking about doing a 24 for hour fast, once a week, every Saturday. I’ve never done a 24 hour fast before. Is fasting the sort of thing you have to ease into? Or could I just suddenly jump into...
I don't really have anyone to talk about this irl yet I've started calorie counting and fasting. Recently I got covid tested that's come up negative but I'm stuck at home for 7 days and waiting for retesting, because my...
Hello! I'm doing 18/6 from mon-fri and 16/8 on weekends, but I'm thinking about incorporating a 24h fast weekly. I'm just having questions about the scheduling. Right now my eating times are 12-18 / 12-6 on weekdays and 12-20 / 12-8 on...
I have a long 45 min run tomorrow. But I ate something this morning that I was intolerant too, would it be okay to do a 24 hour fast even though I have a long run tomorrow?
I’m someone who usually only eats two meals a day, with me having a couple of days a week only eating one. This makes me think it’ll be pretty easy to get into a routine of a two period in...
[This resource](https://blog.kettleandfire.com/intermittent-fasting-for-women/) notes that you shouldn't fast for longer than 24 hours. Do you agree?
I plan on working out while doing a 24 hour fast. Will this kill any muscle gain I could get? My main goal is to lose weight while also gaining muscle, as I've been training for about 6 months now....
I asked this question over at r/fitness but people over there would rather be pricks and criticize my "diet" rather than just answer the question, so i'll ask it here. Is protein more important for muscle growth/strength the day of...
On hour 23 of my first 24 hour fast and trying to distract myself. Not hungry but the urge to say 23 hours is good enough is there. Also did my second fasted hike today @ 3 miles 🎉 and...

I’ve been fasting for about a month now and I typically do 16:8 and it’s been great so far. Today I wanted to do my first 24 hour fast and it’s honestly gone really well with just water throughout the...

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 have been intermittent fasting using the 16:8, 18:6, and 20:4 method consistently for some time. I find that if I fast for longer than 20 hours I get low blood sugars (cold sweats, dizziness, head rush/vision goes black when...
Did it effect your cycle in any way? Other hormonal effects?
Any tricks before a fast to not feel like shit?

I think I'm in hour 22, but not sure if it's considered clean? My last meal was yesterday at 12:30 pm--I did have half of a small coffee at dunkin donuts with one creamer @ 4:30 pm but nothing in...
In other words, most people who do a 7-day fast have experience with 3-5 day fasts beforehand. But has anyone just “jumped” into a 7-day fast?
I am writing this from my gym since I am feeling very lethargic after I broke my 48h fast two hours ago. I notice that eating anything before my workouts ( protein shake, a banana, chicken breast) makes me feel very...

Sooooo this just happened!! I started by doing 18:6 for a month. Then I moved to 20:4 for 2 weeks. Today I did my first ever 24 (25 actually) hour fast and feel AMAZING to say the least! Honestly I could...
So yeah, as the title says, whenever I’m nearing the 24 hour mark I feel like my heart rate elevates and I just generally feel anxious. As soon as I eat something the problem basically goes away. Is this all in my...
I see people on here that fast for a week or longer and I’m really curious how that’s possible. I do a 24 hour fast once a week. If I try to push too much longer I feel like I get...
I fasted for six days, consuming zero calories over that time. I supplemented with electrolytes during the second half. Broke my fast at midnight last night with chicken and veg broth and a poached egg. Also took B vitamins and more...
I recently just broke my 4 day fast on Saturday. The 4 day fast was surprisingly easy with minimal hunger pangs. I usually do OMAD so I thought it should be even EASIER after a 4 day fast (right?). Yesterday,...
How do you deal with hunger cues? Does it affect your driving? Do you get mood swings? Do you get insomnia or hypersomnia? What do you tell the people around you when they ask why you haven’t eaten in over...
I’m so freaking grouchy and hungry. Everything is getting on my last nerve. Help me get through. Edit: Complete! Thank you everyone.

I started doing 16:8 IF about a month ago. I’ve actually been skipping breakfast for most of my life just out of personal preference/lack of hunger in the morning, but my downfall has always been late night snacks. Now, I...
I'm interested in fasting and especially a 24h one. Not just one but take one day here and there when I feel the need. I already did "fasting" without willing it because I suffer of schizotypal disorder (under control and...

Thanks all to the great community here. I IF'd my way to fantastic weight loss a few years ago (when combined with a calorie deficit) and sporadically for health purposes I have practiced 16-8 IF for weeks at a time...
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 on and off using IF for a handful of years now, but only simple 18:6 or 20:4 windows and nothing more. I saw good results last time but I admittedly kinda fell off the wagon. In that time,...

Yo guys. Hope you’re well. I’ve been doing IF and it’s been working phenomenally for me. Doing that, combined with some longer 24-48 hour fasts has let my weight drop like a stone. I had a question about using these 24...
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...
