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)

My aunt brought me pizza. Had to bury it in the fridge. I have learned the true meaning of suffering.
The reason I’m asking is because 72 hour fast I can lose 1-3 lbs depending. I lift/cardio 4 days a week I’m 5’8 around 190 lbs. if I estimated I’m 12-14 % bf, so I’m lean what would be faster?...
I usually do rolling 48 hour fasts so I am really scared tomorrow I wont make it and break at 48. I need motivation and advice. Thanks, friends!!
I’ve been intermittent fasting for a few years now and I’ve enjoyed doing so. Would like to try extended fasts for 24 hours or even more. What are your recommendations?
Going to be hard/ but body and mind needs this. Wish me luck and any motivation helps !
… and I’m really starting to feel it! Drinking lots of water and reminding myself why I started and that I’m so close to the finish line 💪💥 any encouragement or tips would be very helpful right now! Also, any suggestions...
Is this still a good way to see results? I know most people in this sub really push it to days even, but I'm experimenting with daily 18 hours, sometimes pushing to 20 when I can. I'm also on keto...
This is my first 48 hour fast. My goal is to reach ketosis. I ate my multivitamin this morning without thinking, 3g sugar 15 calories. If I hold this fast for the original 48 hours should I still hit my...
Is a 24 hour fast the same as skipping a whole day? For past 4 days I’ve been eating 24 hours my last meal so like from 8pm on Tuesday to 8pm on Wednesday. Will this have the same effect...
Because I read that you should move your meal 2 hours back from when the feeding window ends because thats like when the fasting starts...

Someone give me the strength to throw it in the trash when it arrives…. 😅
Thank you in advance to any and all replies.
What would be better/more effective? 84 consecutive hours of fasting or 120 hours ADF style (3 40 hour fasts) throughout the week
I'm brand new to dry fasting. Not quite ready to jump into a 20-hour dry fast or whatever. I've been doing 12-hour fast the last couple of days. Is this a good starting point? Thanks!
At least it is less intrusive than usual...
I’ve gained weight so i need to flush my system out
This was testing the waters to do a routine or perhaps a longer fast (but we want medical supervision for the longer ones.) I have some quirky questions: Anyone's sense of smell get sharper into day 2? I noticed it but...
I’m about to do a 72 hour fast and was wondering can I go into the gym right after I break my fast or should I wait a day then go back in?
I have been fasting for a few years but never more than 20 hours and want to do it over 24 hrs. What does your fasting schedule look like? Do you go ahead and take meds with empty stomach?...
I’m wondering should I stick it out to the 72 hour mark or can I drink some water and still reap the benefits >~< currently at work and it’s hard y’all lol
I. Am. So. Hungry This is the longest fast I’ve ever done, usually I do ADF for 36 - 42 hours but I thought I’d do a 72 hour fast to just say I did it, but on hour 50 this...
Never thought it would be this tough tbh
I am fasting 21 hours two days a week and 17 the other days. When I'm fasting 17 hours I'm fine, but doing 21 hours really makes me irritable. Does anyone else have this? Does this pass? Very curious about other...
I have successfully fasted 20 hours a day for a week, and I feel much better! I am very happy with it, but the weekends are causing me issue. My son is young, and I don't want to introduce any ideas...
Basically just to deplete my muscle glycogen and excess water quickly. Is this safe enough?
Weird question, but does anyone do this / know any reason it’s a bad/ good idea? I already water fast for 36 hours 3 times a week but thinking of mixing in some dry fasting once I’m in ketosis (about...
I accidentally ended up eating at about 2:30 yesterday afternoon when normally it’s about noon my time. Will there be any negative consequences to breaking early so I can stick to my noon preference?

I’m sure it may be a habit or programming in my body, but I get a huge hunger “pain” at 12 hours of a fast. Has anyone else had this? Is it really a pain?
And my hands are trembling. Should I break my fast? What's causing this?
Would it be good to eat tonight and then start again after 7pm for another three days? Will I continue to get weight loss benefits this way?
So I’m looking to fast this weekend, but with my schedule it’s much easier for me to break my fast after around 65 hours. Is the difference significant, as I know autophagy peaks at 72 hours?
Curious.

2nd time doing a 48 hour fast in a little over 24 hours in. How do you guys get through the last 24? How much black coffee do you consume? What are some personal experiences with this length of fast?...
They all say 0 kals on the packages... Although some say "0 calories - 2.5 servings" - isn't this an indication there definitely is a low amount of calories in them? Are these ruining the autophagy benefits of my 60 hour...
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)
Or during a long extended fast, you kinda just have to rest and do nothing/relax?

According to some researchers, fasting for 12–16 hours can cause the body to turn its fat stores into energy, which releases ketones into the bloodstream. This encourages weight loss.
I want to lose about 15 pounds. I’ve been fasting from about 8 pm to noon the next day. I’ve been trying to go longer each day, hoping to make it to about 3, then 4, then dinner time. To...

Is that a bad idea? And would I lose the same weight as if I'd kept dry fasting a couple days longer?
And in not why? like what exactly would happen if you did that?
