I'm new to the group, and just, curious what lengths of fasts are most common.
How long was your longest dry fast? (Pure dry fasting without a break in between)
I know extended fasts aren't primarily for wieght loss. I've done a fair few extended fasts before (I'm female) but recently haven't been fasting atall and eating all the carbs. I've gained so much weight and was wondering, particularly Woman's...
This new year I am starting by fasting, There is no time on this fast nor weight , I will be water fasting until I reach a specific body fat percentage! Any tips would be appreciated
I originally wanted to push for 48 hours but was feeling weak and shaky, despite being hydrated and having electrolytes so I cut it short. Just had a keto meal and am feeling much better! I tend to emotionally binge...
*Disclaimer: To anybody reading this: it is much safer and easier to follow the electrolytes guidelines so that is what you should do.* ​ Personally I have done 5 days with just water and no salt as the most and I did...
The longest I’ve fasted for before was 127 hours and today I hit 129 hours on the 6th day of my first extended fast! Feeling super happy about this (although I was a little salty this morning to see that...
I have been doing 18-20 hours the last few weeks but often felt weak and tired by that time. yesterday though I felt fine so decided to push it. At about 32 hours, I had a few highs and lows...
Just thrilled that I completed a 68 hour fast today. This is as long as I have ever gotten. And I have been stubbornly stuck at a weight level and adding the extra time resulted in breaking through the plateau. Trying...
This is so bizarre! I have PCOS so I get AWFUL acne all over my body the day of my menstrual cycle. Well todays the day and there is 0 acne. Can fasting really prevent acne!?? Because the last 2...
Should one Water 💧 Fast before starting a Prolonged Dry Fast.
Yes, I’m sure it’s been asked before and I know there are benefits to multiple short fasts. I’m just looking to do a long fast and am curious to what people have accomplished
I'm shooting for 4 days. Obviously I'll be careful since it's hot out, but after completing a 7 day water fast, an extended dry fast seems like the next challenge for me. Historically I've never been able to go...
Longest was 4 and half days for me but I can't go longer than a day now. I need motivation!
This morning I completed my first 60 hour fast. For the past two months I’ve pretty regularly done ADF during weekdays, but I decided to challenge myself a bit and go 60 hours. Honestly it wasn’t that bad. I went...
So I usually fast for 18-24h daily and have a 1-5 hour eating window. Not losing any weight tho.. rather gaining actually. I'm extremely embarrassed, discouraged and depressed by this and want to challenge myself. My longest fast was was...

Hi everyone, I just drank masala tea during my fasting window, have I broken my fast? Ingredients: Masala Cloves Ginger Water
What results did it yield ?
Is one more beneficial than the other?
This is gonna hurt. But I need to do it to reset from my terrible food addiction. I'm not working next week so it feels like my only chance to do this....

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 did a 36h fast, not my longest but its up there. Its been more than 4 hours after breaking it yet I feel wayy too tired to exercise properly, is that normal

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?
If anyone would like to join me on these days, we can support one another through each phase of the fast. I have fasted this long in the past but not for a while. Posting now so we have a few...

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!
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 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...
hello! i broke my fast two days ago (not in the right way), i was fasting since february 8th (i broke on the third day tho, pretended nothing happened after) and i'm restarting today. when ur in the first three...
Yeah, the tytle says everything. After 3 days i plan to eat for one day and than do another 3 days.
I heard fasting can raise cortisol levels.
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...
These are very good and sweetened with stevia ... Will it break my fast ? https://imgur.com/gallery/bS6ASIn

If if I were to do OMAD or 20:4 TRF and made dinner my one meal or dinner time my eating period every time does your body still fast effectively or are you going to see better results if you...
If you're serious about fasting, feel free to message me. I am looking for a partner who seeks motivation and advice throughout the process. ​ Fast starts on: 08/28/2022- 09/11/2022
I think my body got better at generating the enzymes that convert my body fat into energy with each fast. has it gotten easier for you? if so why do you think it has?

Anyone tried dry fasting? Is it better than water fasting? Which is better for weight loss? Thanks
How about zero sugar energy drinks? As long as they have no sugar in it, fasting is not broken by drinking them?

I’m kinda confused. Ive read that some people say its okay to have bone broth, is it? Is it also okay to have vegetable broth instead? Or would broth be counterproductive to fasting? Should I just stick to coffee,...
I have done intermittent fasting and have done water fast for two days. Has anyone over here with pcod/pcos done a 7 day water fast? If so can you please let me know your experience.How did you feel and any...
I've been a runner for a while. I also do plenty of calisthenics and weight training. I'm not addicted to exercising, but with running in particular consistency is important. So I don't want to stop completely if...

Can I smoke during my water fasting period ?
