if you guys think extended fasting is hard, trying doing a dopamine fast. i have been able to do a 3+ day of water fast, but all i did during that time was doom scroll youtube, facebook, etc. and if you try to do both at the same time my god its hard. all you have to do is focus on your work, workout and your family. no other sources of pleasure like tv, music etc. it'll reset your dopamine like crazy

I ate 1 meal a day for 3 months drank 1-2 gallons of water a day for 3 months lost 65 lbs. I now run 5 miles a day fasted. I’m 32 6ft 4 was 315 now I am 250. Best decision I ever made. I work out fasted every day.

I’m about 40 hours into a fast and was thinking of breaking it tonight but I’m now thinking to go an extra day. I have never, ever before in my life craved broccoli 😂 so that’s exactly what I’m going to eat in my first second meal. Thanks for the great insights coach

I started fasting recently for whole days. The hunger pain is real and does take mental discipline. Have to remember you're not starving though. I am obese and have plenty of stored excess on my body to burn. Over a hundred pounds

My longest fast was 12 days water only and electrolytes. Felt good had my blood work done, all normal. Light exercise after day 4

I put "extended day fasting" in youtube search and this was one of the top results. Nice to see a Starting Strength affiliate make that, especially on something like this.

I am loving the direction this content and production is going.

Hallelujah!!! I’ve been trying to find everywhere content on strenuous exercise and prolonged fasting... was just about to give up on it! I’m entering my 4th day of both, fasting and heavy lifting. Will try to prolong the fasting during the weekend with walking only for exercise. I have done 15 days of water only fasting, but without any exercise other than light walking, so I was a little bit concerned. THANK YOU!!! I appreciate your sharing of hands on REAL experience!!! 🙏❤️✨

Almost at 72 hours of my water fast. Don’t know how to explain it but the clarity is real. I’m 6 ft 232-235. Current weight is 224.5. And Im still lifting

My record is almost 74 hours, the mental discipline is the best part.

I'm 45 days in a sort of ADF, fasting on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays... eating carnivore OMAD on eating days. Lost 12kg already (from 98kg to 86kg), asthma gone, running 6.5km almost every day and lifting some weights... I'm 35yo and have tried everything in earth to lose weight with no success. And I've never felt better than NOW, in this way of living/eating. Carnivore/Fasting for the win.

Started using fasting protocols in 1978! I'm 64. I've done 3 and 5 day fasts many times. I love it. Its so easy after the 1st day! Alternate day fasting is harder for me. I love having all the time to do other things.

I weigh lift 6x a week and I’m currently on my 12h/ 72 h water fast 😭 I’ve done 24h but never 72h so this is a big challenge for me. I’m planning on still lifting 🥹 today after work and possibly tomorrow!

Thanks for the tips! I do a 3-day fast twice a year. In the past I didn't train at all during the fast, but now I do, and it seems to help maintaining physical performance. I recommend doing some serious cardio as soon as you start the fast (after lifting weights of course) in order to deplete the glycogen stores as quick as possible. Personally I prefer to start and end the fast at midday, it just seems more convenient to me to do it this way.
