Hi! I'm planning on doing alternate water/dry fast for the following 4 weeks. Do you think it is possible to lose 20kgs from this? Thanks!
I’m thinking about doing it. Mostly because I can’t seem to stick to a regular water fast or a regular dry fast. Which is sad because it used to be fairly easy for me as I did them so often....
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.
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...
Hey all! I started alternate day fasting a few weeks ago but honestly didn't expect much success over the holidays which proved true. Now that that season is over and I can focus more on the fast and what I...
Hello, I was wondering how many calories should you be refeeding with when doing alternative day 36-48 hour fast. Would 1400-1600 calories be too high? After each refeed will go right back into water fasting. Thank you for any advice/answers....
So I recently started occasionally tracking my calories during eating days, I average about 2500-3000 , I’m a 5 ft 21 year old woman. Today I went slightly over and am worried it may derail progress? Does anyone have experience...
So did 16/8 and while I didn't gain weight I didn't lose any either. I wasn't going hard on tracking cals but I will starting this cycle. With kids I have to learn to be a bit more flexible with...

Hi guys! Since I believe that everyone has their own thought I decided to flair it as disucssion and not a question. But I'm jumping back on the fasting wagon, easing into it during december by starting IF and slowly increasing...

I fast on alternating days and over the summer I will have unavoidable social obligations that go through lunch time. I have no problem fasting and I honestly enjoy it. I just don’t really want to deal with the awkward...
Which do you think is better and why? It seems like with OMAD, your body spends longer overall in a fasted state, but I find it hard to eat enough food on OMAD, especially while trying to build muscle. On the...
I completed eight 40+ hour fasts over the last twenty days. I was primarily eating every other day, the only exceptions were Fridays and Saturdays, I ate back-to-back on those days because of social events/obligations. I've also transitioned to eating...
Hello all, I have been practicing a alternate day water fasting for a few months and have already lost around 50 lbs. I am considering switching it to alternate day dry fasting instead and wondering if anyone has ever tried it...
So I want to cut off a decent amount of weight within the next 2-3 months and I was wondering which approach was better. On the alternate day fasts I’d eat nothing one day and then the next day I’d...
Okay, so on Thursday 02/08/2018, I stopped eating @ 12:00pm and didn't have another meal until Saturday @ 10:00am. It was a 42 hours water only fast and although it was tough here and there, I got through it fairly...
I'd like to hear some opinions and experiences on eating one meal every two days. Is this a viable and a healthy fasting routine as long as the meal I would eat is healthy and plentiful? I'm planning on doing...
I gave birth 4 months ago and put on over 50lbs while pregnant - going from 112lbs to 165lbs. I've been doing alternate day fasting for the past 3 months, where I fast every other day, sometimes every 2 days....
Those with kidney disease have to be very cautious with potassium, because for them, the potassium would not get eliminated from the body and could have fatal results. But for a healthy person, do they need to exercise caution with potassium...

Hello all! **Preface:** After going completely cold turkey on [cigarettes and alcohol](https://www.reddit.com/r/stopsmoking/comments/yd8p43/from_3040_cigarettes_a_day_to_nothing_with_zero/) (smoking anywhere between 40-100 cigarettes per day, alongside drinking at least five litres of alcohol a week), I made the decision to take up a new challenge; getting my weight...

I was trying to find some studies that would compare these two diets but couldn't find anything. I'm thinking of starting one of the two and I'm currently leaning more toward 23:1 IF but I'd really like to know which...
Hey gang! So, I discovered IF a few years back, and started at 16:8 like most people, before increasing to 18:6 with occasional OMAD. After falling off the wagon when covid first hit, I recently started doing OMAD daily, loved it,...
36 hours of consumption followed by 36 hours of water fasting. Basically, alternate-day with 12 extra hours both ways? how did you feel?

This is the protocol I've come up with for my own fasting where my focus is on optimizing body composition changes (reduce fat and preserve muscle) without compromising organ health and function. Broadly, I am trying to consume enough water...
So I've been thinking of trying alternate-day fasting. Maybe it's similar to a 24-hour fast? I want to do days in between with nothing but water but I was wondering if anyone else has tried that and seen results? Was...
My theory is around the time you eat, you will poop. [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/112zgse)
I'm obese according to BMI. I'm nearly 30kg overweight. I had tried fasting last year but that didn't last long. Under peer pressure I ate once on my fasting day, after that I wasn't able to restart. Hopefully this year...
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.
What is the optimal length/schedule for day-to-day dry fasting to maximize health and longevity ?

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.
Leading up to this I did mostly keto, and a lot of intermittent/several day fasts. I only ate the 5th and 6th of this month. I want to do a 7 day dry, follow by 7 day water...
What impact would alternating a healthy diet with a junk food-based diet from one day to another have on the body? What I mean by the above-mentioned alternation is having a menu along the lines of: Monday - everything raw: a large...
I'm not depressed from fasting, just having a depressing evening. This is when I usually indulge in comfort food. What do I do? :'(
I am currently doing 24 hrs fast every other day, that makes it three times a week, and doing 16 hrs on the next day. So my question is that, has anyone lost any weight while following this type of...

I’m trying to do this because i’m not sure if I can straight up dry fast for 7 days without a break.
Let me know thank you.
I’m relatively new to this, so my question is, can I alternate my fasting times? Say Monday, Wednesday, Friday do 18:6, Tuesday, Thursday 20:4, and Weekends 16:8?
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
So made it through day one, I hear this where things could be fine or get hard. Let's find out!
You know, like after i refeed and hydrate.
Which is better for weight loss? Or is the weight loss gonna be similar to water fast and omad? If it's similar I rather do OMAD...

So I ended up eating way more than I should have of the wrong stuff, What do I do now? I was planning on starting OMAD after this fast should I still do that? A long time ago I had done...

I am on day 7 of a 21 day fast and experiencing some weakness. Blood ketones 4.8 glucose 72. The purpose of the fast is spiritual; repentance and purity. I have not been using snake juice can this explain the weakness....
Let me know please. Also can i just rehydrate on those days instead of refeeding?
rolling 72s to lose 50lbs by the new year. Updating per fast with numbers. Lets go. (anyone else get results from this ? )
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.
Woke up this morning in middle of my daily 18:6 Fast and I think I'm just going to keep rolling with it to Thanksgiving Meal - and make it like a 40 hour fast - and then enjoy the hell...
How do people last that long without water?
Just checking in, I supplement with electrolyte salt pills when I wake up and when I go to bed along with 2 liters of snake juice throughout the day. 2.10.22 = 331.4lbs 2.11.22 = 329.8lbs 2.12.22 = 326.6lbs Height = 5’11
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?
Im 400lbs and i need to lose a lot of weight. Is this a good plan?
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...

As an alternative to gagging down some snakejuice I think it may be preferable to consume electrolytes through tablets such as the following: 4x 1 gram sodium chloride tablets (394 mg of sodium) [such as this](https://www.amazon.com/Safrel-Sodium-Chloride-Tablets-15-4gr/dp/B091NKB9ZG) 24x 99 mg potassium caplets [such...
Any recommendations? It’s worth it or should I stick to DF. I’m doing it for health maintenance/prevention
Does the hunger you feel goes away as the body adapts?

Hi everyone, I would like to ask if it’s possible to gain fat with yo-yo effect after water fasting for 7 days (losing 13lbs) while starting a 1 meal a day (with approx 1000kcal with my basal metabolic approx 2000kcal) so...
