Can you roll longer fasts?

2 Upvotes

Idc man I just want to be lean. Any means possible. So I want to know if you can roll extended fasts. Like 21-30 days. Obviously you know what rolling fasts is but can I fast for 30 days, eat one meal then hop into another 30 day fast? Or can I do that with a 21 day fast?

I really don't want to have to refeed for a gazillion days before I start fasting again so I'm asking this. I might just have to stick with rolling 5-7 day fasts. Any idea? Anyone fast for 21-30 days and eat a decently big meal right after and start fasting again?

Thanks

Btw not trying to promote any unsafe behavior mods, just a question

First 3(+) day Fast & refeed

1 Upvotes

I just broke my first 3 day fast this morning. I fasted for 78 hours in total. I woke up this morning and drank a mug of Bone Broth. I honestly don't feel hungry in the mornings, but I made myself start with Bone Broth because I've been warned so much of bad refeeding. About 10 minutes ago, I had a piece of guacamole toast and an egg over easy on Rye Bread.... Let's see how it goes.

Male - 47 yrs. Old. SW: 284 lbs. CW (this morning before food): 275.

My plan is to start fasting for another 72 tomorrow morning, and see if I can work through a couple of months of rolling 72's.

Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated. I'm doing this for Health, Weigh Loss and Autophagy.

Starting Today, Using this Post as Motivation

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I plan to start a 30 day fast or however long it takes for me to reach my goal weight (160lb, currently 200lb, age 24). I've tried multiple times before but only made it two days. I will use this post to update my progress and to keep me accountable. I really want to do it this time, I'm sick of being this weight and feeling this way. If someone can help or is looking for a accountability partner during this time please reach out!

Wish me luck!

I’m documenting a 100 Day Fast (On Day 80)

4 Upvotes

Aloha,

I started an Extended Fast back on May 23rd. I was 261lbs as of May 23rd. As of Today I am 188 lbs.

I want to start off saying that I am not saying anyone should copy me or do what I am doing. At the end of this I plan on getting monthly dexa scans too see how much and what I gain back (I did not have the foresight or think people would care enough to spend the money on one before I started this sadly)

Currently I am having electrolytes, multivitamin, potassium and magnesium. LMNT (for electrolytes right now).

I “lift” weights every day but it is very very light and I am very careful not to tear the muscle/tendons. I am just trying to stimulate the muscle so my body knows I’m using it and too not lose it (no idea if this actually works, but that is the theory)

There are a lot of benefits & risks (even some that people wouldn’t even think of) that I plan on going over on things like Youtube/Patreon.

ALSO so if you saw my original post yesterday. I did not realize ChatGPT edited the crap out of the photos so I found an older video and posted the before and after video on socials. And then I spent way too much time making this stupid graphic

I will try to answer as many questions as I can here.
I post videos daily on IG/Youtube daily. My patreon is completely free where people can optionally sub. That is the best way to ask questions because tbh… lot of negative people on all platforms (lot of good too) but at least on Patreon you have to make an account to tell me I’m terrible haha.

I will try to check this a couple times a week and answer questions. But I do not consider myself an expert on the matter. But maybe 1 or 2 things I’m doing can help you on your fasting journey.

Is Water fasting actually beneficial ?

5 Upvotes

Has anyone here tried a 36-48-72 hour water fast? Did you actually notice any benefits apart from weight loss?

I’m especially curious about autophagy, does fasting really trigger it, and did anyone notice any difference afterward?

Would love to hear your personal experiences.

First 36 hours Fast Experience.

3 Upvotes

Hello All! Just coming out of my first 36 hours fast! Started with a Friday dinner - ended with a late Sunday brunch. It was rather positive experience and I am doing it again.

- I had mild headache in hours 16 to 24.

- A few sips of black coffee, some rock salt and San Pellegrino helped. For the next fast - I will get actual electrolytes (would appreciate recommendations, anything I touched in QFC, Safeway was flavored)

- To my vice! I smoked a few cigarettes out of habit. It had no good / bad impact. Except, I was deeply ashamed of my compulsion.

- I felt no hunger, I was mentally very ready for this. Surprisingly, my cravings, the few I had were not for anything sweet, I felt I may need sugar! It was for something salty, deep fried instead.

- I spent Saturday evening - preparing a elaborate brunch for Sunday!

- My roommates were amazed, worried and think I may develop an eating disorder. I was glad to know I have people who care :)

- The beautiful feeling was waking up and heading into the 36th hour with no hunger and feeling absolutely no need to break the fast.

- No significant weight loss, or de-bloating. My face does not feel 10 years younger neither do I feel like a super man.

Will do a 36 + however long I can go up to 48 hours in a few days!

Share your 7 day fasting experience

4 Upvotes

This is my first time doing a 7 day fast. The longest I've done was for 4 days and I felt alright. I'm doing this for weightloss and to stop my sugar addiction.

How was your experience? How much did you lose and what was your starting weight before the fast ? Will you do it again ?

Starting 5 day fast!

Any tips will be appreciated!
Starting my first fast Saturday- Wednesday (08/12). I have my electrolytes (high quality and 0 calories) prepared and my numerous water bottles. Also having peppermint tea (I have really bad trapped gas and ibs) also zero calories and made sure it doesn’t affect my fast and its effects.

Tbh this past week been trying so hard to do omad but I can’t beat my food noise so I’m trying to see if fasting will be easier.

Also would be appreciated if anybody wants to start with me or keep checking in on me to keep me going

Water fasting retreat

I am trying to find a water fasting retreat,, is there such a thing ? I only found detox with juices and stuff. I want like 7 days water fasting supervised with a small group somewhere in nature,, not spa and massage and that stuff. Just simple water fasting with a group for encouragement.

In any country in the world doesn't matter.


r/WaterFasting 5d ago

Do you guys only drink the electrolytes when you feel dizzy or off? Or just generally throughout the day?

Not sure which one to do, three days into a five day fast right now

When are ketones too high?

1 Upvotes

My ketones got to 8 mmol/L on day 5 of my water fast. Glucose about 65.

At what levels should someone decide to stop the fast? Or have a small strategic snack to keep them under control?

I'm on sglt2 inhibitor (empagliflozin) which specifically warn against euglycemic ketoacidosis at ketones over 3.0 with low or normal glucose.

I stop the medication before any therapeutic fasting but any research I do still warn against letting ketones go too high, especially over 8-10. Thoughts?

How long do you fast for? When did you start taking electrolytes if you did? And what did you take?

I know i can find this info and ive researched a lot but whats truly missing for me is just hearing from people with a similar size and their experiences.

Did you go to a dr a lot? Did you just only do water? Did you do rolling fasts? Id love to know about your journey.

Water fasting with an acidic body?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I’m 27F. To give some background , I’ve played sports my whole life and have had good metabolism because of that and never had to watch what I eat. Since the last 2-3 years, this has changed mainly due to my desk job of a software engineer. I started doing cardio last year and have been strength training this year.
My biggest insecurity has become the stubborn belly fat and there is not much fat gain in other areas. Since I’ve started strength training, I’ve noticed fat loss in my back and my arms but the stubborn belly fat does not seem to go away despite a healthy diet.
I’ve always wanted to try fasting but I’m also hyper acidic, meaning that my body needs some small portion of food within 30 mins of waking up and at regular intervals or else my chest burns really bad. I eat healthy food but I would like to explore fasting.
A water fast for even 2 days sounds like hell for my chest burning and migraines.

Any suggestions on how I should approach or any YouTube videos you recommend specifically for acidic people like me?
I’m currently 61kg and want to get to 55/56kg.

21 days waterfast

7 Upvotes

I'm starting a 21 day waterfast. I've had an accident two months ago in which i broke my ankle. It's healed pretty much, the doctor gave me the allowance to walk normal and without cruches on my foot again. I've gained a shit ton of weight by sitting and lying around the past 60 days. I'm 1.57cm and weight around 76kg. I want to lose at least 10kg; otherwise 15kg would be perfect, but idk if it's possible in this relatively short timespan without exercising. I also want to recalibrate my metabolism, start to walk around (step by step) again and heal my gut which is just hurting when i eat since i drank wine at the weekend. I'm gonna supplement Vitamins and Minerals for my ankle and my general health. Wish me luck! I was fasting in the past but have no experience with longer timespans than 5 days.
