I am having trouble falling asleep on day 2 feel like I should go for a walk to tire myself out my body is wide awake.
Hello guys,I’ve actually done a 36 hour fast before and right now I have exams going on.I can’t seem to cross 20 hours without eating. I just wanna be able to do 36 hours and increase my fasting window more.
As the title states, what should I expect in this experience? I have no other obligations besides just studying for a standardized test. I imagine studying for extended periods of time would perhaps be too hard on the body.
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 curious of people’s methods. Do you mark it the minute you decide to stop eating? Or do you start it the next day, let’s say after dinner?
Right about that mark or a little after I get so confused and one could say even dizzyish. Is this a normal thing that I should just power through? I tend to get quite anxious during this period as well...
Quick question. Every website that mentions autophagy, only describes it up until the 72 hour mark. Example [https://www.inhousestudiofitness.com.au/blog/2019/5/15/the-hour-by-hour-benefits-of-intermittent-fasting](https://www.inhousestudiofitness.com.au/blog/2019/5/15/the-hour-by-hour-benefits-of-intermittent-fasting) I am currently 15 hours into my first fast, and I just want to be sure that you still reap the benefits...
So yeah, as the title says, whenever I’m nearing the 24 hour mark I feel like my heart rate elevates and I just generally feel anxious. As soon as I eat something the problem basically goes away. Is this all in my...
I went from 245 to 190 this past year largely due to fasting. I love the way I look for the first time in since I was a teen. The only trouble is I still have some nasty stretch marks...
Hi squad, It's unbelievable how much this change has done for my waistline and my mental health in only 2 weeks. I have dropped 16lbs, purely from 16:8. But I chose to try a 20:4 between 6pm and 2pm. And now ironically,...
This is my 2nd time trying to fast, the first one was a few years ago and I was able to make it to the 3rd day, just tried fasting yesterday and the headache was killing me so I had...
I have such a hard time with the mental aspect of getting past 36 hours. I enjoy doing mostly 20/4 IF and OMAD, but I really want to add some 48s every week or so. I find when I reach the...

I'm still new to this IF thing but finally starting to feel a little more settled into a routine of 19:5 - 20:4 depending on the day. My eating window is around 1-6 give or take. But I tend to...
Do you guys know of a book, other than Dr. Fung's, that has something new to add instead of rehashing the same things? I was hoping something from another MD with additional results and insights.
Looking for a book that includes details on prolonged fasting (7 days plus). Also scientifically backed without any mystical woo stuff. I'm currently 4 days into a 7 day fast and always find it easier to read stuff around the subject...
Hi all! I've been doing LeanGains IF for three years successfully. I keep on seeing people asking about OMAD and I was curious if anybody can actually point me to any definitive scientific backing of this diet or the warrior diet?...
I've seen way too many posts declaring that people have a low calorie cap (300-500) on "fasted" days. I'm not one for gatekeeping here, but this is not even a dirty fast. This is just eating at a low calorie...
I am a 22 yo male. My height is 178cm and I weigh about 70kg. I regularly exercise and I am vegetarian. Now to my question: I am fine with my weight and my body in general but I would like...

Its so hard Any words would be appreciated

There are articles saying 14-16 hours, some others saying 24 is minimum for it to start. When does this actually happen? Is there a way to detect it?

Can dry fasting help heal old injuries? Like ligament damage that causes shoulder pain, knee pain, back pain, etc? If so, how many days would you recommend dry fasting for and is there any good schedule to incorporate dry fasting?...
I'm so stoked and I'm still going 🙌 I feel like I've climbed a mountain! Woooooo! I have had this goal every day for SO many months but could only swing IF w/ OMAD. I'm not pressuring myself as to how...
Today was definitely the best day so far, I had a lot of energy and wasn’t thinking of food that much. I can’t believe its already 10 days, even this fasting has felt like an eternity, it also has gone...

my longest fast to date has only been a measly 24 hours. would attempting a 5 to 7 day fast be a terrible idea? should i build up to it with, say, a 3 day one?
Really need some motivation or advice to push through day 3.. not even halfway done with my fast and already considering breaking it

Does anyone use a keto testing kit? Would you make a recommendation? IF turns the body into keto mode. But I never know when. Some say between 12 to 36 hours. Testing to know for sure would be nice.
