How to prepare yourself for long fasting:

Step 1: Get rid of your family to avoid temptations.

Step 2: Don't miss step 1. Make sure they wont come back to feed you

I’m on day 18. Lost 19lbs. I’m not hungry but I miss eating. Im going for 30. Wish me luck!

Remember if you’re water fasting for longer than 3 days please get some salt in. Other electrolytes are also encouraged like potassium and magnesium but sodium is a must

I'm 58 yrs young currently 162 hours into a 7 day water fast. I'm type 2 diabetic and am doing this to lower my morning blood sugar set point.
I didnt get the headaches I think because I made sure to add Himalayan salt to my water. It's extremely important to replace the electrolytes your body is releasing during a water fast.
I also took All my regular vitamins because I didn't want to lose my hair or become dizzy/faint because I'm generally anemic without my iron vitamins.
My body didnt start creating ketones till the last 6 hours of day 3. I only walked for about 40 minutes 4 days of the week. My blood sugars were in the high 9's and are now in the low 7's and I reduced my weight by about 8 pounds and lost 1.5 inches around my waist.
I'm going to start the refeeding process tomorrow morning around 11 am with a tablespoon of either olive oil or coconut oil. Then just bone broth, soups and green juices for 3 days with sauerkraut on the third day to prepare my gut lining with good bacteria to digest the solid foods I'll begin on the 4th day. Hope this helps someone here.🎉❤😊

I did this for 7 days. Day 3 was when the headaches set in. I simply researched and added Himalayan salt to my water for trace minerals ....alleviated the headaches immediately.

While I CAN go on a water diet, I’d definitely prefer NOT to 😂

[dro]

This is absolutely true. I didnt know any of that when i began my 30 day fast. It was truly a magical experience

[CT-umzq]

that last part is so true and the reason anorexia can be like an addiction. The hunger gives you such a dopamine rush, you feel high.

[Studzilla]

This is accurate! I did it for 22 days! I lost 100 pounds in a year doing this. First lost 16 pounds. I thought it would have made me sick. But it was the most powerful transformation that I have ever experienced..

Day 5 starts receiving visions and revelations from God

[annakeenan]

I got to Day 10, never felt clarity or more energy but I did gain a new appreciation for food. I never realised how much I looked forward to meal times and then when I did eat things tasted better and I savoured the smallest thing rather than mindlessly eating.

[hectorgonzalez]

I absolutely did it and succeeded. However my reasoning for doing it was for spiritual reasons. Not for dieting reasons. It was amazing.

[laurenschmidt]

Make sure to be careful going into any diets, especially fasting, if you have a history of mental health issues related to weight and or eating. I used to do intermittent fasting, and I lost weight. However, I also gained a very unhealthy relationship with food, had seriously disordered eating, and was on the verge of becoming full on bulimic. I'm not trying to say this will happen to everyone. It works great for some people. Definitely talk to a doctor about it before starting. I wish I had, and it's taken over a year to get out of that mindset.

[rogersmith]

I just stopped a 21-day fast today I had no hunger pains it's all in your mind God can help you get through it

[arui]

I did a 21 day water fast. Went from 264 to 221. I’d say day 1-6 were the hardest. After that you really don’t crave food. I went out with friends and had no issue with them eating in front of me. Make sure you’re hydrated because if you don’t you definitely feel it

[Mr.Plant]

My longest water fast was 5 days. I don’t think I’d ever do one that long again, though I felt incredibly great afterwards

[JohnKMazzie]

I actually fasted for twenty three (23) days only drinking water. The first 7-10 days was most difficult and then the hunger pains subsided. There were headaches and low energy but not agitated.

[malvinchau]

There actually has been research where you feel hungry during your usual eating times. It actually will never get worse, it goes in waves of hunger and will never go away.

[lesaha]

I actually do this twice a year, never to lose weight but for mental clarity and happiness. As soon as I'm on the brink of underweight I stop, which is around day 13/14. And I have no issue cooking for my family. actually, reading recipes and coming up with new ones is kind of the dirty pleasure of fasting...all that anticipation and being psyched about the most basic things like cheese and bread.. Makes you appreciate food so much! Can only recommend it.
