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...
I just finished my first 48 hour fast and I found that the first day was pretty difficult, but the second day wasn’t that bad. If I fast regularly, will it become easier overall?

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?
My main goal is autophagy. I'm not too concerned about BF on this one. I have my green tea, black coffee, Zevia pop and sea salt and other minerals. Can anyone suggest anything else for the fast that won't disrupt the...
Just wondering what you guys think. Should I fast on a monday and a friday. Or just do one big 48 hour fast a week like on a monday-tuesday?

I am already doing OMAD, so there is almost always 23-24 hours before meals. I've been considering simply skipping my meal for Saturday. Are there potential downsides to doing this I should be aware of? What level of muscle loss,...

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 finished a 48 hour fast when I was planning 5 days. Is it fine to refeed this one day in between then get back into fasting or is it too soon?
I'm planning to start doing rolling 48 hour fasts after new years, and I want to get ready in advance so I can be successful. Would it be easier if I do ADF until New Years? Are there any particular...
What have your results been like? I'm about 44 hours into my 2nd 48 hour fast... and it is so much easier than last time (2 weeks ago). I do OMAD generally but have wanted to incorporate a longer fast...

Obviously a newbie here, but I don’t get why you’d do such a long fast. i’m sure there’s some weight loss but I gather it would be mostly water. Plus aren’t you messing with your metabolism?
I’ve been fasting for a month now and I just usually do 20-24 hour fasts on the regular but my longest was 30 so 48 is gonna be a big accomplishment for me. The one day I did 30...
