I’m just over halfway through a 7-day water fast and woke up with what I have to assume is keto rash all over my chest and back. Is it safe for me to continue fasting?
I've seen Jason Fung say that keeping the refeeds in between rolling are best kept keto. I'm a vegan. Does this mean I should just eat a lot of avocados and then go back out into the next rolling fast?...
Hi, I've been doing keto for the past 5 days (don't plan on stopping any time soon, I've done keto a lot in the past). What difference will it make starting a fast whilst already doing keto? Will I lose...

I’ve noticed some folks saying that after their 5 or 7 day fast, they will do an OMAD and eat keto. This will allow them to keep off majority of the weight that they lost during their fast. Is there...
Like the title says.. those of you who've tried just full-time keto before (as in, eating regularly, even if its just OMAD), do you lose more weight fasting than you do just on keto? I know for some people it's...
Currently 42 hours into my fasting and yet the keto straps claim that I am not in ketosis. Any idea why that could be?
I still eat carbs, like potatoes, bread, chips, rice, pasta. Yet I’m noticing my breath is getting worse, especially right now where I haven’t ate for 18 hours. I floss twice a day and brush for two minutes. Is this...
What is more benefitial in your opinion? I’m comparing two situations: 1-you eat moderate amounts of carbs/fat/proteins and fast occasionally for 24-36 hours. 2-you are on a strict keto diet but you never fast, so maybe sometimes intermittently like 12-16 hours but...
I'd like to try a 24h fasting once per week for a while to lose weight, but I'm hesitating to go keto. From my previous experiences I've found keto to be very efficient for short term weight loss, but every...

Should one Water 💧 Fast before starting a Prolonged Dry Fast.

I’ve had success losing weight in the past with IF, OMAD, 24-36 hour fasts, CICO etc. During those periods of weight loss I was in ketosis at least according to the keto strips. Based on that I do think my body...

Last year I experimented with Keto and I loved it. I was able to control my hunger and I felt satiated a lot of the time. I was doing this as a means of controling my diabetes. Then I got...
Is one more beneficial than the other?
My assumption is a little bit of both but from what I read it may just be a way to stay in ketosis
I’d like to do a 3-5 days water fast (longest fast 36 hours so far) but OH suggests broth fast. Any difference in terms of results/benefits between the two? Thanks!

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)
Hey everyone, title pretty much says it all. I decided to incorporate fasting into my regime due to the fact I got some bad blood work results back the other week (bad cholesterol + liver enzymes) and read that fasting...
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

Anyone have recommendations for the best / classic books recommending a fasting lifestyle from the last couple years? I’m looking to get back on track and looking for a good book to inspire me
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.
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?

What do you guys do about breath before breaking fast? I would normally chew gum but now I have dry mouth from my meds and it makes for bad breath. Is there anything I can use that won't break the...

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
Sorry if this has been asked before. But does fasting for longer than 24 hours once a week ( say 36-48 hours) help with breaking plateaus? Thanks in advance
