Hello. 3 years ago, I fasted for 3, 7, 10, 21 days. At that time, I went down from 73 to 54 kg. I only gained 4 kg. The best days of my life. Then, after pregnancy and breastfeeding, I came back to the same weight. My goal is to do 21 days. It failed many times, but this time I promised myself... I don't know English. I am writing from translation.🙃 I will share the results. Tomorrow is my 1st day.

[@HCooperCraftyBug]

the hair cracked me up, especially since mine does the same. good job taking your health in your own hands like that! Diabetes runs in my family too. but I've always been afraid of fasting because I also have a family member that passed away from too much fasting. the way you did it looks like the healthy and correct way to do it. I may consider trying it now! you look good too!!🤗

[@Itshillaryyyy]

How did too much fasting cause that? Would like to know ♥️

[@HCooperCraftyBug]

@@Itshillaryyyy I’m talking about fasting over and over and not letting your body get any nutrients. This person was fasting for religious beliefs. and while on their deathbed (@5’9-5’10 and half what their body weight should be) they were being told by other members of their “church” just to keep fasting and God would save them. If you’re gonna fast please do use caution and listen to what your body is telling you it needs (needs not wants lol).

[@conniealldis]

@@HCooperCraftyBug What you are describing is anorexia, a mental disorder. This one guy drank water for a year and lost a ton of weight. But you are correct we can't live on air an water. I'll water fast for 7 days then break it with a glass of Celery juice and only Celery juice for a day or 2. Then on the 2nd or 3rd day I'll have green smoothies which consist of Cucumber, Celery, Lettuce, Kale. On the 4th or 5th day I'll add an Apple or a Banana to the smoothie. No cooked food for at least a week. Breaking a fast this way has resulted in no weight gain rebound and takes care of the ravenous appetite that can take over during the refeed. Good luck

[@HCooperCraftyBug]

@@conniealldis thank you. Yes I am learning more about fasting and actually have been intermittently fasting everyday. Thank you for the information!

[@OmaymaOmayma77]

You will get to do it for longer. I found out that it’s the parasites that spike the hunger and mood swings, when they realize there is no chance for them to survive they would start messing around with the hormones and stuff that’s what my friend Loren Locknan told me, he is has a water fast retreat in Costa Rica and he makes videos on youtube. You did great doing 16 days 💚💚💚💚

I've been looking into water fasting for a while now as an option and am just about ready to go for it. Then your video popped up :) Thanks for sharing hun. When mine is done I will be going wholefood plant based afterwards many of the issues I have had are from meds which they feed the animals and unless and until I can raise my own again I have to let all animal products go. Very cool to see how you went through it though :)

[@FermentedHomestead]

I think that’s a great idea, I’m toying with the idea of doing the same for a time. Please bear in mind they spray the same chemicals (often worse) on veggies if they’re not organic. Please be sure to at least get organic grains and lentils. Farmers markets are great for no spray veggies super cheap!

[@BloosSelfReliance]

@@FermentedHomestead I absolutely do hun and have been building up my dry store slowly over a couple of years to include alot of the organic things that are needed and better. Also the plan is to eat mostly what I grow in the garden. We don't have alot of space but I will do everything I can to use the space to it's best to produce the most I can and the rest I'm off to the market until we can get an allotment.

[@christinesroutines]

Oh wow! That's so interesting to go into IF to K before fasting and the kit sounds awesome!! I'll be so interested how you feel in a week or so after slowly start eating and drinking again! I have a steam juicer and I'm going to try to make my own distilled water with my Berkey water! Sparkling water is the bomb! Electrolyte pills work well too! How does your skin feel? Dry...parched? Just curious. Epic moment when you sipped....ahh!!!! I love how real you are!! "Dog bowl water!! LOL! (your hair tuck in the beginning killed me! 🙌😂) Power on my dear!! Way to go!!

[@loritrotter6354]

First of all, congrats to you Anna! Well done on your water fast! I wish I was ready to do one myself, but you have encouraged me to think about getting there by shrinking my eating window through intermittent fasting. I've been thinking about it for quite some time, so thanks for spurring that desire on. Now let's talk about hair... I often refer to my curly/frizzy hair as a non-compliant, strong-willed child. I've also learned as a "parent" to this head of hair to not engage in battle - especially on rainy days - as I will never ever be the victor! I'm not sure what I would do without hair ties... thanks for the giggle 🤣🤣

[@FermentedHomestead]

Haha! That is amazing advice 😂

So just a heads up. Drinking bone broth is not a fast. It’s called consuming bone broth. A fast is to go withiut

You talked about carrying the salt with you. I use Redmonds also. I have a RO (Reverse Osmosis) system for my water. Every time I fill my bottle I add some salt. Just a pinch. Not to where it tastes salty. I also add the salt to my coffee. I go throw salt like you do. Enjoy that broth!

I was surprised you’ve been up/around doing work. I’ve been weak as a kitten. My goal is 20 days. I like the idea of distilled water. I’m going to change that for my fast. My purpose for the fast was hopefully to kill cancer cells. I’m a believer. I hope it worked for you.

[@BrainGrapes]

Watch dr bergs videos, he did some recently on people who cured stage 4 cancer with fasting

[@murrmurr765]

My mother also did it for cancer. She soon quit and now I don't have her anymore,so continue as much as possible. The difference between you and other people who waterfasts is; for you it's life or death while other people have alternatives. Do not quit just because you feel sorry for yourself, everyone will miss you. Good luck!

14:00 you should have started electrolytes day 1 of the fast. Also, my guess is that purified sea water or sea salt that is professionally made into electrolytes will provide the best formula of electrolytes.

I make a detox soup with plenty of spices, herbs and greens including dandelion greens from my yard. Don't forget the tumeric. I don't have to starve but it will clean out your system. I don't have the will power to completely give up food.

[@FermentedHomestead]

I will be adding soups back in before too long. I’m totally different, fasting is so much easier than counting every calorie and worrying about which this and that to eat

[@SharonCurtis7]

Could you post a recipe?

[@AmberDuggerknitter]

Thank you so much for your video! You mentioned that you went into ketosis first before starting. Were you just going off of your ketones to determine that? I ask because the keto mojo would not have you in ketosis with glucose over 100. I hope this makes sense! I’m about to start and preparing. ❤

[@FermentedHomestead]

That’s an interesting point I’ve never considered. I’ll have to look into that. Diabetic people with high sugar levels get in ketosis just fine by restricting carbs so I’m not sure what the difference would be

[@AmayzArt]

Thank you for this its great. I only wish youd explained what ketosis is, or details about what you ate and how you were actually "in ketosis" to help us.

[@FermentedHomestead]

I’m working on some videos for my other channel following my health journey and I’ll be sure to cover it more. Ketosis is when you have under 20g of carbs per day for a certain number of days so your body switched from using carbs for fuel to fat (or body fat if you’re not consuming enough calories). It makes you be able to eat less and go longer between meals, also makes fasting much easier. If you’re interested you can watch some “keto” videos on it 😃

[@AmayzArt]

Thank you! Yes, I sure will do that. Im doing a 3-4 day fast next week. Im sure I will watch this video every day: p Its so helpful. I am doing all day fasting at the moment, with a 4-hour raw, vegan, feeding window in the evening. So, I appreciate these, reminds you, you arent alone. This is important in a food obsessed world! I love how you didnt pay thousands to go to an fancy retreat. You show us that with proper monitoring there is a way to safely do this at home! :)

​@FermentedHomestead did you do anytime type of exercise in this process???

[@unknown-uo3hd]

Hi Anna, did you use multivitamin supplement during your water fasting?

[@katenelson8993]

I'm on day 3 now, I was so tired at work today but I've got the rest of the week off to relax and chill. I'm hoping to do 14 days. Thanks for your video!

[@RidgefieldFC]

Stay strong Kate. I am on day 8 myself.You can do this!!!

[@lilygabriella8098]

Same I am on day 2. Tomorrow is day 3. I’m finding it really difficult but I know I won’t eat but it’s just the thought of it ya know x

[@RidgefieldFC]

@@lilygabriella8098 First few days is a mind game- once you win it then you will realize that you can do it and you will start feeling better. Stay strong Lily- you can do it!!!

[@lilygabriella8098]

@@RidgefieldFC thank you Rafi! I think day three will be the hardest but I know I want to to do it so that’s all I focus on is the end result :)

[@RidgefieldFC]

@@lilygabriella8098 i kost over 32Lbs and i am not even 2 weeks into it. Stay strong. I started without even planning to do it. I just wanted to dont eat for a day so i dont feel „full” and one day turned into two and once you start seeing results on the scale it will motivate you to keep going. Of course i have a lot more weight to lose but i feel so much better now. Keep going strong!!

[@tdw9827]

Today is day 3 of my water fast and the hunger pains is nothing to play with 😩😩 I’m doing 12 days

[@Pablo19885]

Did your period stop or delay with prolog fasting?

Heathy Alternative KZbin channel is a great resource.

[@nicolemiranda4946]

I just started my first 28 days fast I been trying to do it for a lot of time, but I keep failing. I really wanted to do it. And I've been finding something that can motivate me to not break my promise to myself. I hope I can do it now. I felt really terrible each time I'm breaking it. I really want to do it because I want to feel good.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Have you tried working up to 28 days with shorter fasts? Sometimes it’s helpful to set smaller goals that are easier to attain and once you find success you’re encouraged to try harder things

[@miniee-nj4mg]

Hi im starting 10 days also tomorrow

[@marie-michellefortier2993]

How did it go? Were you able to achieve your 28-day water fast goal? 🙂 I'm officially started my 90-day water fast this evening at 7 p.m. (I'll get my metabolic stuff tested every 30 days so I'm followed by some doctor.)

[@themindhelp9584]

​@@marie-michellefortier2993oomggoosshh please update here from.time to time!!! Goodluck❤

[@Tentpartyrental]

It’s harder when theres little ones and they are snacking and served the 3 meals everyday 😫

[@FermentedHomestead]

Definitely harder! But if you want to do it you can! You’re worth it!

[@MillennialMountainMama]

It can help you be a better parent

[@jannafathima6367]

Im starting my five day water fasting today :) !! My starting weight is 64 kg

[@its___amoona]

Are you still fasting??

[@myheartcries9906]

OMG oodness, I need to lose a million pounds. .okay a little extreme, but.. when I have time, I'm really going to go back into your videos and learn how to do it healthy... I'm not gonna lie, I'm going to have to learn to like fermented foods... my husband loves sauerkraut, so he'd probably be on board with other things... we aren't youngins anymore but we both need to be more healthy. TFS, Lori

[@AntonisExplores]

I in process of 15 day water fast.

[@xdidgiveittoya]

How do you make yourself go/poop?

[@christawright2685]

how is your A1C? That's a better over all judge of how you are metabolizing glucose.

[@FermentedHomestead]

I’m not sure if I’ve ever had it checked 🤷🏻‍♀️
