I came across an article which claims our body will burn muscle mass while you dry fast. (without saying if this applies to overweight and / or regular people lol) And it also claims you HAVE to drink water because your...
Just finished an 80 hour fast and last night got an awful headache and body pains all over like I had the flu. Barely slept because everything was uncomfortable. Woke up feeling a bit better, but quickly starting feeling awful...
Is one day a week without food of any sort counterproductive for someone not fully grown yet? How about dry fasting? Bonus question: what about 2-4 day fasts for triggering autophagy and how often can this be done?
Posting my BodPod scans from January 3rd 2023 and January 31st 2023 - before and after a 30 day fast from food. I implemented a fasting-mimicking diet by consuming 120-150 grams of protein per day in the form of collagen...

I’m on day 10 of a 16:8 fast. My first time ever fasting. Down 3.6 pounds, sleeping the best ever, waking up energized and ultimately crushing every day unlike ever before. But I seem to have...
And if so, why are “starvation diets” deemed unhealthy for weight loss? Does your body “live off of itself?” During a fast? Is “metabolism” a myth in weight loss?
IF the body can produce water as \-metabollic water \-dehydration synthesis Then why does anybody ever get dehydrated or die of thirst? You would expect them to lose their fat first, then their muscle, and then die...

I recently started doing 1 weekly 36-48 hour fast to start off my week for both health and fat loss, and it’s been surprisingly pleasant. I tend to struggle with slowing down and fasting makes me kinda lay low, focus...
Title basically. If the body doesn't store Vitamin C and needs it daily... shouldn't we take it with every water fast with 0 calories? Or am I misunderstanding something here?
Hey guys. About 2 weeks or go i finished a 5 days dry fast, and also did some sauna during. I did this for weightloss, but also to clear my skin and tighten my skin as i lose weight. But after,...
Should one Water 💧 Fast before starting a Prolonged Dry Fast.
I've read some posts of people who have done an extended fast and their eczema disappeared or massively diminished. Others have stated that even despite giving it a go, it didn't have yield too many benefits, at least in the...

Obviously the scale can be deceptive, and I do like to weigh myself every day just cause I like making the chart a little more detailed. But I’ve been taking measurements for my neck, waist and hips. Are those kind...
So I know a lot of you have lots of info around on fasting. In particular what I'm looking for relates to respiratory quotient (RQ) and fasting. So I think most of us are generally aware of the \~3 day...

Over the past 4-5 years I’ve likely spent over 50% of my days intermittent fasting. And looking back it was always the same thing. A reality that seemed to hold benefit. And overall I’d say fasting is a necessary...
This is my first time dry fasting, but I did do a smoothie detox before so my body should be used to not eating. I plan on doing a 5 day fast and moving to an 7 day fast if...
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)
One of the big myths out there is that fasting will "burn" up your muscles, and you'll waste away. Sure, you *can* lose some muscle mass while fasting. But that's mainly if: A) You're not someone who should be fasting in the...
I endure dull to sharp throbbing widespread pain every day. I’m very sick of it. Does anyone have experience fasting to alleviate body pain? How long did you fast before feeling a difference? I was originally going to fast solely for...

Hi everyone, I just drank masala tea during my fasting window, have I broken my fast? Ingredients: Masala Cloves Ginger Water
I take some vitamine pills (capsules) in the morning. I was wondering whether this breaks my fast. Can't find on the bottle whether they contain calories
Is one more beneficial than the other?
It sounds mental, but I have been doing omad for the last month or so, somehow I am all beeter for it. Here is how I knew, when I bite myself, it would turn into a bad sore within a day,...

Is there any science regarding an abnormal fasting schedule vs a normal fasting schedule is advantageous?

Or vice versa? I think I read somewhere that it might be dangerous for the human body. So, if we start a dry fast, it should remain a dry fast until you end it. Or if it's a water...
