Full article here: www.bikechaser...
After a thorough 5-day fast Tim Altman (Fasting Expert) explains the benefits of my 5 day fast (based off a bioimpedance test) and also the symptoms/side effects i encountered over the 5 day detox.
Originally I had planned on a 5 day water fast. However, after consulting with Tim about my goals and also after he assessed my body type, he recommended a 5 day juice fast / cleanse which incorporated two small juices a day, enemas, colloidal silver and a very thorough reintroduction to food program. Tim said a water fast is more aligned to people needing a much deeper style cleanse and detox; normally those with some form of debilitating illness.
In this video, Tim responds to all my questions about the symptoms / side effects I got over this 5 day fast and also discusses the benefits I will see from my positive test results. I had a MASSIVE CLEANSE!
Before & After results can be seen in part 1.

MY story. I went to bed Sunday night after eating a pizza, big bag of chips, 6 pack of beer and a couple cocktails. Woke up Monday at 7. Fell back asleep. Got back up at 11 and had to cancel work. Felt so horrible I decided to stop everything and go on a fast. I had done one 10 years ago for 3 days and knew I'd feel great after a couple days. I stayed on for 128 hours till Saturday morning. I went from 155lbs to 144.2lbs. I did moderate exercise for an hour as much as my body would handle. TRUTH- this time I felt out of it till Friday. It's now saturday morning as I type and I'm drinking coffee and going to eat in about an hour. I feel like a new man...Fasting works- even if you dont do it right- it's the hardest "easy" thing you'll ever do.

@@Erlov71 not sure what separate us it's not willpower because it doesn't take much, it's not drive cause this shit is ez, end of day 15 going 40 minimum 53 is the ultimate goal, u need to read and hear the benefits u gotta want to prove to yourself u can do it, most people fail in life at everything stopping smoking, stopping porn, just any addiction weak minds weak people, don't be weak, u don't need to eat I'm living proof of 15 days and honestly I can't imagine why I will start eating again, u gotta get by the 1st few days the hunger goes away, u get use to it, u serious need to read upon it cause I was second guessing myself but once I read that each week the detoxing and healing goes twice as fast each week so the longer you can go the more your become pure, that's what's this shit about being pure, reset tour body, mind and soul and lets go . I have videos were I give a few tips and advice if you interested, I have an appointment with gi specialist tomorrow see what he has to say, but I feel okay granted I'm not doing much but that's because I'm sports betting and making chips but imma have to get back to it and I was driving the same as before that wore me out, I walked that wore me out, any activity put me short of breathe I get the fuel thing , if tour doing Hella activity I don't think I could do this either.

Think that after days of fasting you can have a day to eat whatever you want. Prepare a reward for yoursel and it will keep you going 3. Avoid going to tge kitchrn or somewhere foods are placed. It will only seduce you and you might be tempted to end your fast 4.Do some hobbies. For me, I draw, study since I am still a student or just watch videos. Distract yourself from thinking of food. 5.watch motivational videos, meditate and relax. Belive that you can do it Trust me. This is what I did and continue doing.

I'm on day 5 of a 5-day water fast. I can’t wait until tomorrow! I did my 5 day fast for a body reset. I've done a 7-day water fast before, and it was really challenging. Many water fasters will report that they felt very light and energized from around day 4-5. I never experienced that. What didn't help either was that I watched basically all episodes of Chef's Table on Netflix in a row 🙈. I finally broke my fast with some cucumber and avocado. And it was heavenly, lol! This time around, it was easier. The first 3 days were pretty bearable actually, I still got to do some work. But on day 4, I couldn't function. All I did was lay on the couch and watch series. I don't even want to watch anything anymore, but it's a way to keep me occupied cause I don't have the energy to work. I'm also experiencing brain fog: yesterday, it took me 5 minutes to figure out what day it was... This is the final day, and I feel more or less similar to yesterday. The end is near, though 😀. I like what Matt of Yes Theory said about his water fast and seeking discomfort: _"You have to force yourself to lack things. Otherwise, you're just going to think everything is kinda normal, available and you're not gonna appreciate it."_ Doing this fast gave me a newfound appreciation for the good things in life, especially all the tasty delicious foods out there that sometimes I may take for granted. I'm a big proponent of slow living, and doing a 5 day water fast will surely slow you down. In that sense, it also has a spiritual component. We've been given this amazing body, and we need to nurture it to be able to function properly. But by overfeeding it, we're actually doing ourselves a disservice. A fast is way to reset your body and give it time to heal. And it makes me appreciate that, without a healthy body, everything I want to do and put out there in the world, cannot happen.

My experience is that you need to drop your blood glucose levels and raise ketones, thus nutritional ketosis. To get into deep nutritional ketosis, (some also would call this Autophagy, ), a zero calorie fast would be required. I took me 4 days to reach a 59mgdl glucose level/4.9mmol ketone level. I would also recommend doing intermittent fasting before prolonged fasting. This will prepare your body mentally/physically.

Juice fasting/feasting is basically a calorie restrictive diet so of course you will lose some fat. However, you won't switch over to full ketosis on the juices because of the carbohydrate intake. A water only fast will have you enter true fat fuel mode/ketosis in roughly 3 days after all the glycogen is burnt up.

Have done a lot of fasting this year. After 3 months break from long fast I started a 5 day fast last week. I was too hungry, dissy, weak and gave up. This week I started again and it is so much easier. On day 3 now and do not feel any hunger at all so 5 days should be easy. It is interesting what causes the change in hunger and dissines. I will drink some picked juice on this fast to see if it makes a difference. Also interesting that if I re-feed too much, too quickly, i get diarré within 1-2 hours. Meaning that food goes through me in just a few hours.

Reah Ray A tip. I’m not sure of your age but if you have access to a blood pressure machine I recommend you use it. My pulse rate increased because my sugar levels were low. Make sure you monitor that. If you run into that problem get some orange juice so can bring your sugar levels back up. On my seventh day I had lemon water, it tasted so damn good. It was the first flavored anything I had in seven days. Good luck to you too.

[@ckclarke5336]

I think some folks need to understand: if you want to do a 5 day fast and quit, the results will have little positive effect on you, and your weight will quickly return. The best thing to do is be consistent. Continue on your same trajectory. Even if it’s not 5 days, fasting is something you must maintain. This is not to discourage people from it, but I literally read a comment from a person taking on their first fast that read “I did a 3 day fast, I lost weight and I stopped because I didn’t want to develop an eating disorder”. Literally, that 3 day fast was pointless torture. As I see it, at least. Fasting is a lifestyle. You either love it or cannot tolerate it. There are bad moment (the dry/raw mouth and spitting is gross). But; when you start to fit clothes snugly, then comfortably, then loosely you’re like “wow!”. My diet is 5 days on water followed by 2 days of great meals (anything I want). I did this from 16-19, then the pandemic hit. I took 20-21 easy and cleaned up some issues personally. I resumed 5 day weeks 20 weeks ago and I’ve never felt better. I’ve had a couple “down” weeks, but I feel like I’m starting it over and know in about a month TRUE hardcore weight loss (fat) will kick in. That’s when you start to see yourself different and know the lifestyle has changed you. Find yourself what works. If it’s 2 days, do it. I love the challenge of 5. But would never go over. Also find something to look forward to. I get a large frozen coke when I’m done. Plus, I’ve laid out outfits I wear that I was too big for and watch the clothes I use to wear daily look like poptents. Again. Do you, but FAST and keep at it! It’s the lifestyle I wish I had the discipline for when I was 18. You will never regret it.

Should one take the regular multi-vitamins and omega 3 supplements and stuff during fasting?

[@CamNicholls]

Not my expertise sorry

[@gc6329]

I would avoid eating carbs/ drinking juices during a fast because it will prevent your body from entering ketosis, which means your body will continue to primarily burn its muscle instead of its fat. It also seems like this guy didn't do a good job of drinking water or electrolytes which are extremely important if you're not eating. Dunno if he did or didn't but based on the symptoms he described it sounds like he was very dehydrated and low on electrolytes the whole time

[@mavr1215]

Juice? No wonder you felt ill! Autophagy is the best way to detox and you feel amazing with it.

Strict fast again, Thursday and Friday, then ate after 6pm on Saturday and Sunday. When I started the 11 week fast, I began with by having one coffee a day, obviously that technically breaks a fast, but it was so I could ease my way into the full week fast - which I started doing after two weeks.
