My understanding is fat burning happens when your insulin is at a lower level and your body depletes all it's glycogen. Let's say you do cardio when you start your fast, will this increase the amount of time you'll be...
So I just completed 14 day water fast, I broke my fast with the water of vegetables/chicken soup, a tiny chicken piece, parsley and a small mushroom piece. The burn was negligible when I was eating the soup, mushroom and...
It’s been working for me because I also pair it with a calorie deficit. But I can’t tell if it’s the OMAD alone or the calorie deficit that is helping me to lose weight. I do realize the longer you...
Hi! I am not currently overweight (I’m 156cm/ 5’1 and 50kg/ 110lbs), but I would like to lose about 3kg/ 7lbs to get rid of some pouchy fat around my waist, and stubborn fat around my arms and thighs. I...
This guy has a good video on efficiency of Dry Fasting: https://youtu.be/GeQYsBMxW1I?t=1797 (29:57 for conclusion, 31:38 for adjusted BMR). But, since this is only 40 hours Dry Fasted, he explains that his body is probably not functioning on 100% fat...
After 24h of waterfasting my Ketostrips barely change color, deep purple after 48h! Do I even burn any fat in 24h, or does my body just use glycogen which it refills when I eat again and no actual bodyfat was...
Started IF January 07, 2022, doing 18:6 and already feeling great. Lost 3.5 lbs already (assuming mostly water weight). 32m 6'3" started at 260 lbs. Mainly eating twice a day (12pm and 6pm, with the odd snack). Now when I am...
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...
Hi all, I've been fat at some points in my childhood which made excess fat and skin on hands and hips. I'm pretty skinny now, 200lbs at 6'6 but I still have good amounts of fat on the hips. I...

Hey Everyone, So I used to follow the Snake Juice and fast for 5-days each week, but it has become difficult as hell recently. I no longer have the strength to work out and fast for such a period of time. During...
I know consuming anything with calories technically breaks a fast, and that the Celsius has about 10 per can, but from a purely fat burning perspective does it matter? Especially if i’m using it as a pre workout and water...
Hello! So I am starting a long term fast tomorrow. I am unsure of how long, but listening to my body and when my hunger kicks in. I am wondering if I am on the right train of thought to...
I’m very experienced with fasting, mostly 36 - 72 hour fasts. I used to be completely inactive when fasting (and in general too) but on a break from university so working at a grocery store for the time being. My...
Should one Water 💧 Fast before starting a Prolonged Dry Fast.
I've been using Zero, and I know not to give too much credence to the zones it gives, as they are guidelines and suggestions. Without actually measuring blood glucose I would be hard pressed to be accurate. Currently doing 18:6 intermittent...

If I fast for more than 16 hours and eat in a shorter window will this enhance my weight loss or body fat loss?
i see different things. some sources said that 18 hours did as much as 20 hours. if that’s the case then why do people try to fast longer? sometimes even days? what does it do? after a certain point does your...
Good morning everyone, This is my second 7 day water fast in 4 -5 years. Now I can't really remember how I survived the first one, just know that I did and how amazing I felt afterwards. Im 32 just for...
What’s the science behind this? I’ve read things like exercising while fasted increases calories burned by 20% as opposed to not fasted. I’ve also heard numerous, numerous claims that you can ‘eat a little more’ calorically the tighter your fasting...

Yo guys. Hope you’re well. I’ve been doing IF and it’s been working phenomenally for me. Doing that, combined with some longer 24-48 hour fasts has let my weight drop like a stone. I had a question about using these 24...

I have a very tight schedule and can only work out in the morning. I need energy to do my workouts
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 was using Zero, but it got all buggy on me. So instead of just reinstalling it after uninstalling, I’d figure I would check out something new. Any tips?
Just checking is this normal? Has anyone experienced something similar. Sorry mean bowel movements
I know fasting for an extended period is avoiding eating food or drinking things that cause an insulin response, but why? I don’t understand how that correlates to the weight loss. (Sorry if this is a dumb question I just...

I did a 72 last week and it helped me push through knowing other people were also fasting. Anyone want to join me on this one?
my main goal is to lose 50 pounds in 3 weeks and the researches I've done suggest that one day of dry fasting equals 3 days of water fasting in terms of effectiveness. what's your take on this?
Just listened to a podcast with Dr Fung and he said that between 24h and 36h fasting you burn protein and after 36h you start burning body fat. What do I burn during the first 24h fast then?
I am going to do a 3 day dry fast and I was thinking of going straight into a water fast after the 3rd day? Is it okay? Or should I do 3 day dry fast and eat for a...

I heard fasting can raise cortisol levels.
Hello, I workout in the mornings around 5am and have been taking a preworkout drink called NO Explode. Does this break my fast? If so, does it absolutely ruin the fast or just lessen the effects?
Hello, I fasted for 52 hours, then I ate in the next 24 hours. I do gym lifts and yoga. Will I lose muscle if I fast again right after I ate? Thanks for help

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...
I'm planning on doing a 21 day fast, cos I've done short ones before. Do you just eat like normal leading up to the fast, or should you start lessening the food and types of foods, and how many days...

How about zero sugar energy drinks? As long as they have no sugar in it, fasting is not broken by drinking them?
