Is that a bad idea? And would I lose the same weight as if I'd kept dry fasting a couple days longer?
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...
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?
… 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...
So I've been doing dry and water fasting for a while, and from my research and dr. finlovs book dry to wet is the way, and wet to dry is a no-no, but recently, I learned that it was only...
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...
I realized it’s way easier for me to do a 24-hour water fast, then eat for maybe one meal, then go straight back into another 24-hour fast, than it is to do a 48-hour water fast. I assume I wouldn’t...
Never thought it would be this tough tbh
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...
Should one Water 💧 Fast before starting a Prolonged Dry Fast.
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, 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...
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’ve done a 48 hour fast a few weeks back and had no issues. I easily do 24 hour fasts. Anyways, just wanted to let you people know and feel free to share any experiences or recommendations with...

I plan to do my first 24 hour fast tomorrow. Will working out with weights and cardio make the 24 fast harder? Thank you!
So I regularly eat 2000 calories a day should I be eating more then that or the same amount? Also what food should I be trying to get in. Also I know water is super important around how many liters...
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.
And in not why? like what exactly would happen if you did that?
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...
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 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?

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...

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?
[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...
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.
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)
Did it effect your cycle in any way? Other hormonal effects?
I’ve been doing 20:4 for a couple of weeks and the scale has barely moved. I‘m not binging or trying to get 3 meals in during the 4 hours, but clearly, I‘m going to have to cut back on the...

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?
Decided I'll try a 24 hour fast today. I've had coffee and water, but that's it. I want to see for myself some of thr benefits I get. I'm doing this because lately I've felt very anxious and tired and...

Fasting is great. I feel so energetic and invincible after the 18 hour mark. My stomach can finally rest and it doesn't cause me any pain, bloating or cramps- my mood improves and most importantly I find that my medications...
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...
