Is it true that you lose 2 pounds of fat everyday when you dry fast? I am 250 pounds so will i be able to lose 10 pounds of fat in 5 days of dry fasting?
How much of fat( butter or heavy cream)break your fast… 1 tablespoon or 2 tablespoon ?????
Hi, what is the longest you can fast for to not loosing your muscle? Also, can I do weight training during that time?
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...
I want to lose fat fast! I'm 5'11.5 and 250lb I need to get like to 180lb.
When we work out and lose weight, our fat cells shrink but are still there. Does dry fasting really dehydrate the cell to the point of it's death and subsequent removal or is this a myth?
I’m 200 lbs currently (5’9 male), 4 days into a fast. Feeling great. Anyways my main question is how much belly fat, just fat off my midsection in general can I expect to lose the longer I go into this...
Hoping not to lose too much weight, this is mainly for the health benefits, I normally do 3 day dry fasts every so often, this is my first week long fast, is it safe for me to transition to a...
Does your body get its fat soluble vitamins and omega 3s and 6s from your adipose tissue when fasting? Or does it just turn triglycerides into calories and survive without essential fats for the duration of fasting?
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...
I have some fat all over my body I want to lose, never done a real fast before but is it healthy to fast for me if i’m not overweight? also tips for fasting bc I get horrible cravings
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...

Hi. I know after an extended dry fast with proper refeeding, the scale will show gain. Depending on the refeed, that would be water/liquid gain. But how can you ensure that.. after an extended fast and even with refeeding, you...
So I’ve currently doing my first 72 hour fast after hitting a Plateau in my weight loss journey. I know you lose a lot of water weight when doing this but how much fat can I expect to drop?
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...
I’ve been fasting for a month or so but haven’t been watching my calories due to the holiday. Either way the point of this question is to know if later on when fasting with the prop calorie restriction will I...

Anyone have some recipes for post-water-fasting? It's my weakest attribute for fasting is how I break a fast. Bonus points if they're recipes to help you stay fat-adapted.

Hi I'm curious If I'm allowed to have a sugar free monster energy on a 24 hour fast when the goal is weight loss, I also hate any type of coffee and tea . I checked my fitness pal...
It sounds like that is the goal - get to a dehydrated state, and then hope the body starts autophagy for water. If it IS the case that rapid water-loss is wanted (dehydration), then having very high...
[Belly fat resistant to every-other-day fasting](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/03/210303161656.htm) Does anyone have anecdotal experience reflecting this?
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...
A few years ago, when trying to find a weight loss lifestyle that works for me, I ended up trying keto, I really didn't enjoy it, so I stopped. However, I was in ketosis, and my general cravings were minimized,...
UPDATE: Thanks everyone for the answers. I ended up breaking the fast, based on your recommendations and how I was feeling: I was feeling a little sick before doing it, now I feel better. Also, I believe I exaggerated the low...
I'm sorry if the question sounds stupid but I've noticed that if I do lots of exercise with intermittent fasting I lose weight sure but my waist to hip ratio actually worsens, could it be that burning too much calories...

I have done many fasts in the pass but never really gone over the 5 day mark. I would like to make it to 10 days as I've got horrendous gut issues which are destroying my life and although I'm...
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?
Hi! I'm not sure if anyone here would really know the answer to this, but I was just wondering if there is a reason to do rolling fasts over what Cole recommended in the Fat Girl diet video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VD9rjN1zek) --which...
Should one Water 💧 Fast before starting a Prolonged Dry Fast.

I used to dry fast quite a lot. I found it pretty easy to dry fast from waking until I ate about about 6 or 7pm, then eventually having some water. Now that I'm coming back to dry fasting, I'm...
Hi, A point I regularly see brought up is that the #1 rule is how you shouldn't mix carbs and fats while breaking the fast. I am a bit confused as to how "strict" this is. Can you e.g have fish...
Is it okay to take them during ADF or extended fasting? Won't my heart fall off or something? Currenly, my stack is as follows: Caffeine 250mg; Yohimbine 30mg; DMAE 250mg; Synephrine 50mg; L-carnitine 500mg; Omega-3 32% daily value; Generic multivitamin. Feeling just fine when taking them on empty stomach. I can...

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 have been doing IF now for almost 2 years. I researched Keto to no end and attempted it only to be stopped by heart issues (pre-existing). I still IF with only a 2 hour eating window at night out...
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...

I like to fast for full weekends (approximately 66 hours) - my last meal is lunch Friday until breakfast on Monday. I am losing weight, but I think my muscles are shrinking while my belly fat isn’t shrinking as quickly....
Edit; found this helpful article on the Zero app https://go.zerofasting.com/s/547yMm96CwisbDQC8 I recently did a 6 day fast with just water/electrolytes and no vitamins because apparently that helps with autophagy. I’m about to do another long fast but this time the only goal...
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...
I'll get some background out of the way first. Water fasted before, 48h max, currently overweight, so plenty of fuel available. Reason for fasting is to reduce calorie consumed during the week and eventually naturally reduce portions I'm eating. I...
My goal is to lose 10-12 pounds of fat, and I'm considering achieving this by doing as many 3 day water fasts followed by 3 days of regular eating (at maintenance or just below) until I reach this goal. However...
Hi everyone! They say that you can not target specific areas of the body to lose fat and also that you are born with a certain body fat distribution, so it is genetically determined and therefore can not be changed. So...
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?
I'm a 1m85 - 92 kg male, I estimate my body fat to be about 20%. I have a muscular body type. For vanity purposes I want to get defined abs, which means I need to be around 14-15% body fat....
