3 Day Water Fast - Lessons Learned

I am on a fasting for fat loss challenge. This is my first 72 hour fast of the year. Besides hoping to lose fat, I am hoping to reset my metabolism, insulin sensitivity, promote healing, and create stem cells. #fasting #3daywaterfast #autophagy #metabolismreset

What is the longest fast you have completed? Let me know!

I did a 24 day fast last year it was pretty crazy ! I had to have my girlfriend check me every night after day 19 plus very weak ! Now i do 4 days at most and 8 day fruit fast a few times a year . During this fast i lost 37 pounds i did work out 5 days a week also at home only to be safe .

[@ketovorekandi]

😮 that is a seriously long fast! I would never even be able to get close to that.

Oh heck yes, been there w/the sweats & bubble gut~ though we call it "rumble-bum"~ same thing😅 After my first 3 day fast, I was smart & broke it w/broth~ not my homemade bone broth, mind you. Just some simple chicken broth, then a few hours later I ate a couple bacon wrapped chicken tenders & some more broth. Next day, normal food. Second 3 day fast, I also broke it w/broth, but homemade bone broth this time & oh my word was that a bad idea! Waaay too much fat & bone meal in that, especially since I simmer mine until most of the bone is mush. Had major rumble bum/bubble guts for hours & was sweaty/shaky uncomfortable for sure. Lesson learned. I don't have to be as careful w/2 day fasts, though I still keep it somewhat light. Sounds like you're cruising right along Kandi, & once a month seems good for me too, at least for the 3 day-ers. I usually do omad anyhow, so my current plan is to do one 2 day fast, every other week, & one 3 day every other month to see how that goes. I've been stuck @ 165 for way too long, after hitting 158 last year for awhile. Would love to see a solid, sustained 150, w/a couple lb fluctuation, which is normal. Haven't done any fasting for at least 6 months, so I'm excited to get back into it. Thanks for sharing your experience w/it. Sammy in AZ

Good idea about the broth versus bone broth. I will have to get some for my next fast. Good luck to you. I hope it helps break your stall.

Body always adjusts to stress by lowering metabolism as fasting is stress. Fasting+sauna+GYM = stress = adrenalin + cortisol = lowered metabolism, adrenal fatigue, hair loss, insomnia, low libido, hormonal unbalance, future weight gain...etc

[@ketovorekandi]

There is so much conflicting info out there! I am trying to follow the protocol by Dr. Sean so hope I am not messing myself up more.

I would definitely drink electrolytes during your fast, it’s crucial. Also if you find a 72 hour fast isn’t for you, try PSMF= protein sparing modified fast. It preserves your muscles while losing fat. Have a great day!

[@ketovorekandi]

I have done PSMF in the past. I will be adding that into the mix for sure. Thanks for the reminder.

Where do you get your ferments? I'm intereste in Kimchi made without any sugar. Do you know of any in our area?

[@ketovorekandi]

I bought some kimchi from Costco. I was not happy with the ingredients. I have bought from Olive My Pickle and Fizzy Foods. I think they were pretty clean but can’t remember off the top of my head. I haven’t found any local made but would love to! I have made ferments. We should get together and make some!

[@MeatingWellness]

@@ketovorekandi Yes!

[@budeutsch]

you can make kimchi at home , I've made cavonoses with youtube videos from another part of the world by myself for the first time and I've been eating them all winter.😂 Moreover, it is quite easy to do and cheaper !

[@MeatingWellness]

@@budeutsch I bet it is cheaper. For some reason, making kimchi intimidates me.

[@budeutsch]

I am on my third day and I will complete 10 days in total. I want to be the person I want now , not the person other people want . I will have broken it the day before my birthday, so on the 4th. ❤🫠💪😊

[@ketovorekandi]

You got this! Let me know how it goes!! 💪💪and happy early birthday!
