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...
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?
I've been deprived for a couple of days which causes my face to look fatter and rounder. I'm thinking of fasting and getting lots of sleep, how long do you think it will take to burn my face fat with...
My assumption is a little bit of both but from what I read it may just be a way to stay in ketosis
I’m getting my wisdom teeth out next week and they told me I won’t be able to workout for 10 days. I have a personal trainer (I’ve been trying to lose 10 lbs but it’s just not coming off, I...
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....

Does anyone have any experience with dry fasting getting rid of back fat? I have a lot. It’s a big embarrassment for me.
I’m 5’5 140lb male. I know the weight comes off differently and it probably won’t come off quickly for my body type; just want to get to 130lb. Right now I’m on hour 62 of this fast

Is this normal? I’ve been taking in about 3-4 grams of salt and my weight doesn’t seem to be moving. I actually feel pretty normal and was wondering if I should keep going? Thanks
How much of fat( butter or heavy cream)break your fast… 1 tablespoon or 2 tablespoon ?????
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?
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...

Okay, so apparently, BMR is how much calories your body burns while at rest. And a pound of fat is about 3500 calories. So if I have a BMR of about 1300 (used BMR instead of TDEE just to be...

I am the type to not need weight loss and if anything I need to maintain or gain. How can I fast without losing weight. I also do want autophagy. The thing is if the advice is to just “eat...
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...
I'm in the process of losing 70 lbs, but when I read about the effects of intermittent fasting to prevent loose skin, it's always in periods of 24, 36 hours or more. Would a daily fast of 16 hours have...

I want to fast for the health benefits but I'm on the lighter side and I struggle to keep weight on. Does anyone have any tips for fasting while maintaining weight? Lactose and fat intolerant too, which doesn't help.
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?
Sorry this may be a dumb question but I’m really new to fasting, never done it before and I know now that it’s important to take electrolytes like sodium, potassium etc., but will that cause water retention/make it harder to...
for reference, im 5’4” and around 46-47kg (last time i checked- it’s likely gone up since then).
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...

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...
From all the Facts I´ve heard from here and there, I asked myself if a Routine of Muscle Training and unrestricted eating one Day and fasting and some Cardio the next Day could be the quickest (and best?) Way to...
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...
