Anonymous Coward User ID: 83608992 United States 09/14/2022 06:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I do supper Sunday till after work Monday every week. I've done Sunday supper till wednesday morning a few times. The only thing I can say is once, when I was in fair aerobic shape, doing the longer one I was in bed and my heart rate was 53, which made me feel good. There is a video on YouTube called something like when you fast magic happens. It says the good stuff starts at about 23 hours. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 80948099 Canada 09/14/2022 06:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I did 7 days once. Original plan was for 5 but it was going so well I did 2 more days. Hardest part is the first 3 days. On day 4 I was no longer hungry Same on Day 5 that's why I extended it 2 more days. Lost 12 lbs. I would probably try to do it again one day. Like I said you can go through the first 3 days, it gets a lot easier after. |

Not necessarily, it's called intermittent fasting and it had a good effect on me as well. Some people only eat once every 24 hours. My fasting window is 18-19 hours, Works well for me, along with carb reduction. |

Why do you think all big religions incorporated fasting? Bc it is the cheapest maintenance for your body. In fact this activates the repair mode of your body. |

Day 3 is the toughest and easier from that day on. Day 4 and 5 are euphoric. Sunday at 6pm starts Friday at 6PM I Breakfast. If you are not low carb and fat adapted it will be extremely difficult.

I made the mistake of doing a long fast before Thanksgiving as the intermittent fasting/one meal a day was going so well..no more joint pain, cravings curbed, sleeping better. And after day 2 it got easier, by day 3 I had no hunger..Thanksgiving dinner was 2 pm on day 5 and I had absolutely no appetite and could hardly eat anything. Long fasts are easier..and you save a fortune on groceries! |
NotPeople User ID: 68899039 United States 09/14/2022 08:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Probably better off just finding waays to exersize a bit more. Fasting always made me want to think about food or the next time I get to eat, clock watching etc. Lame doesn't begin to describe. So now i have a small stair climber that i get on if I watch the tube, or take breaks to lift free weights if I am gaming or internet. Shit like that. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79336029 United States 09/14/2022 09:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Been doing one or two days a week for months. However it’s a little of a dirty fast. One banana in the morning, sweetened tea, and a few nuts throughout the day. Now at night I have to remember if I am fasting or not, before planning dinner. Oh I have to miss dinner? OK no problem. No gut left. Clear mind. Although going two days in a row I can’t do a lot of heavy lifting, mentally. That wears on you for sure. I also have crystal clear water in the mix. No idea if you see any real results with municipal tap water. |

Then I water fasted 21 days straight. I dry fasted 5 days one time. I am now super healthy and clean. I weigh 170. I still fast hard 48s on water. Water Pink salt Magniussium Potassium Fitness was also key. I am in fantastic physical shape and my blood is clean. It’s been a 7 year journey to break the food addiction and go up and down in weight. But you would never believe I weighed 385. I lost a total of 400 or more pounds because it’s been 7 years self scientific experimenting I now live a fasting fitness focused lifestyle. |
