I’m on my second full day of fasting. Only consuming one cup of black coffee and lots of water with electrolytes per day. I’m super bloated. Anyone else experience this? I don’t remember this happening in previous similar fasts.

I’m new to IF, trying to lose 20lbs. I switched to 16:8 last week from 14:8. I start my fast at 6pm and break at 10am. i’ve been so massively bloated all week. My diet hasn’t changed, just the...
I am currently fasting for weight loss and health related benefits. Most of the fast has been dry with occasional cinnamon no calorie mints and water. Is there a reason why I haven’t seen much weight loss and I’m bloated...
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?
apparently skipping meals makes your body retain fat and water which causes bloating. has this been your experience? and if so how do you avoid it?
A lot of influencers promoting that greens powders helped with bloat. Can you confirm if you've tried it and did it help? Tks
Just wondering if it was normal to feel bloating on one side of my abdomen. It's on my right side, no pain just discomfort. I'm doing 16:8 fasts and for the most part eat fairly clean. I have...
From Day 1-5, I’ve had only mineral water, green tea, water with lemon, and a little cold brew coffee (black), and water with Nuun (electrolytes, 15 cal). I’ve walked (approx 10 miles/day) and had 2 HIIT workouts. I lost weight...

I read online that adding a pinch of sea salt to your water does wonders to control hunger when fasting. It definitely does and I started to add salt to all the water I drank. (3-4 large mason...
Hi everyone, I am currently on 8-16 IF, for a week now. IF is not new to me, I have done it before. Howeeeever, this time something weird is going on. My eating times are 8:00 to 16:00. I usually have a bun (two...
Hey all, I have been doing IF (16:8) for 4 weeks with CICO (1500 cals) as a way to lose weight. I love fasting. It keeps me energized, and really helps me focus on what I'm eating. It's also helped...
I've been permanently bloated for a few years now and I thought to try a 48 hour fast but I noticed 0 difference. I'm thinking maybe I need to fast for a longer period of time. Any thoughts from people who...
I haven’t fasted in several months, and I’ve probably gained about 25 pounds unfortunately, which is about all I ever lost on IF. Been going through some major depression and I can’t keep going in this direction. Trying to remember...

^^^ Does fasting help with weight loss differently than just calorie restriction and helping you eat in a calorie deficit?
So I know that everyone will have an opinion, but, what do you consider the best protein supplement and why?
Can anyone who has done 3+ day fasts comment on this? **1. How much better do you feel mentally and physically from fasting?** **2. Also, do you look healthier from fasting? (or younger)**
Saw this on Jason Fung's blog. His Blog has lots of good solid facts on fasting. [https://idmprogram.com/women-and-fasting-does-fasting-affect-your-cycle/](https://idmprogram.com/women-and-fasting-does-fasting-affect-your-cycle/)
