If you were chaining prolonged fasts, say 3 to 6 days, between a couple of days OMAD, where OMAD calories would at least meet total usage for the day or even a slight surplus, would this lead to a metabolic...
I recently heard this claim. Was wondering if it's true
Hi, I'm a 36F with a goal of losing 60 lbs (5'8", SW 230 lbs, GW 170lbs). I am really interested in doing extended fasts (5 days, then 7, 10, 14). I have a couple questions for you more...
I'm curious what your dietary and metabolic preferences are, as fasters. What's your preferred diet, what are you eating most of the time (and especially between fasts), and why? [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/10ps67l)
What has been people’s experiences in terms of noticing any worsening of metabolism after fasting? I know there’s a theory that fasting can slow the metabolism and create issues in the long run. I’m not sure if there’s an answer...
I'm doing IF 14-16 hours everyday and eating around 1000-1500 kcal daily. I know that fasting doesn't wreck your metabolism, but calorie deficit does. In my case, since I'm doing both, will it still eventually slow my metabolism down?
I want to start fasting… I really think it would help. I’m just concerned with what I heard- that it slows metabolism down
Does metabolism really start to slow after 3 days of fasting? What do you guys tend to find? I tend to do rolling 48 hour fasts time to time because of this reason, but have the chance this week to do a...
Will fasting for 1-3 weeks cause my metabolism to slow down? My bmr is already only 1200kcal, and I don’t want it to slow down more.
Does anyone have a similar experience or any links to information on this topic? For me, its weird and pleasant, but I want to know why. I'm an experienced faster and I've done numerous 16 day, 13 day, 8 day...
**How often can I fast? Can I do it regularly? I heard it slows your metabolism if done continuously. How often do you fast?**
I could not find any materials on extended fasting
Not planning or condoning this, but curious from a biological perspective. If one had a way of speeding up one’s metabolism (eg exogenous thyroid hormone) and applied it at the point where metabolism would theoretically slow down, could the length...
Should one Water 💧 Fast before starting a Prolonged Dry Fast.
I personally am not interested in fasting for any more than 20 hours at a time. However... For someone with a really fast metabolism (in excellent cardiovascular shape, with a low body fat percentage), would their metabolic rate and body composition...
Hey there, I just started IF a couple months ago, and now I think I am ready to face fasting for 3 days, obviously while still keeping hydrated, however I am afraid that by not eating for 3 days every...
I had 2 RMR tests done to see how my metabolism changed. Figured I'd post here! 26M/5'11"/SW250/CW205/GW170 The tests were taken around the same time of the day, in the morning. Test 1 was done on a Monday and I had...

How about zero sugar energy drinks? As long as they have no sugar in it, fasting is not broken by drinking them?
My personal trainer referred me to [https://www.amazon.ca/Fast-Metabolism-Diet-More-Weight/dp/0307986276](https://www.amazon.ca/Fast-Metabolism-Diet-More-Weight/dp/0307986276) At it's most basic: No wheat, corn, dairy, soy, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, dried fruit or fruit juices, artificial sweeteners, fat-free "diet" foods Diet confusion, cycling diet with a change in strategy every few...
I was thinking of doing a nice long 30-day fast, but I am a tad worried of the rumored threat of "permanent" drop in metabolism. I don't like the idea that the human body would permanently drop metabolism from a...

Hi everyone, I just drank masala tea during my fasting window, have I broken my fast? Ingredients: Masala Cloves Ginger Water
When you exceed a certain number of hours of fasting, around 20 hours, your body starts producing something called Reverse T3, which is used to reduce metabolism. To understand what reverse T3 is, we need to know what metabolism is...

So I was on TikTok and I came across some videos saying that if you eat low calories (1000 or 500) a day your metabolism will slow down and you won't lose weight. Because your body has gotten use to...

Hello! I’ve been water fasting for five days and felt so weak today that I just had one egg with some smoked salmon. My questions are - will I lose much weight loss benefit by doing this if I start...
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?
Has anyone had any issues with water fasting and taking a pre-employment drug screen?

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?
I notice that obviously you get drunk easier but it seems like it takes me days to get back on track and I feel drained.
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?

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...
