Fasting Success Story: Justin Dorff Lost 50 Pounds in 2.5 Months With Extended Fasting

[@jcoughlin325]

I have a similar story. I was 275 lbs at 6'5". I lost 55 lbs in just over two months doing rolling 72 hour fasts and refeeding on a no/very low carb meal (occasionally with a keto ice cream for dessert). I also did heavy compound lifting 2-3 times per week (usually the day after a refeed) and light cardio (10,000 steps per day). I have to say it was very easy after the first fast when i got into ketosis. I was rarely hungry and had tons of energy.

[@JustinDorff]

I love this--we do have very similar journeys!

[@a.sydney5036]

2 months is insane! Well done. How have you maintained? Are you still doing 72 hr fasts?

[@a.humphries8678]

I did rolling 72's for almost 4 months. I gained and lost the same 5 pounds over and over! It was so discouraging. My husband halfway tried a tiny amount of fasting and lost 11 pounds in a week and kept it off.

[@Tony-lm5zs]

10,000 Steps isn’t light cardio lol

[@mateusznowak6598]

YES I DOING 72H /36 REEFED FRUITS ALL TIME ITS EASY

[@stoptheviolence3358]

I went for an MRI yesterday for my back and I couldn’t fit in the machine I’m so fucking pissed this and the fact that I can’t get a girlfriend is my motivation for fasting but yesterday was the tipping point thank you for the motivation ❤ starting weight 330 .

[@a.humphries8678]

Best wishes! It's hard.

[@LauraB.335]

The leg cramps were most likely due to lack of electrolytes, and have nothing to do with carbs.

[@deionsworld1035]

That's true also either one of y'all opinions could be true.

[@GabrielsGalaxy]

@@deionsworld1035no, there is so much evidence that cramps while fasting are due to lack of electrolytes

[@JustinDorff]

Yea I had that thought originally Laura...I tried adding potassium and electrolytes to my water, but perhaps I did not give it enough time to take effect!

[@Benedict00_MankoMuncher]

Yeah it's def not that he wasn't eating enough

[@KitKatToeBeans]

Most people are magnesium deficient. Leg cramps & palpitations are your body’s way of telling you. Also potassium deficiency causes RLS.

[@Angieka]

I’m not a medical professional, but the leg cramping could likely be due to a lack of potassium, magnesium’s and salt (electrolytes.) Particularly Potassium.

[@JustinDorff]

Angieka yes! This is what I tried at first...I added potassium and an electrolyte blend to my water. But I only gave it about 5-7 days and it still wasn't resolving. I'm very impatient.....lol

[@KitKatToeBeans]

Definitely magnesium & potassium.

[@JustinDorff]

@@KitKatToeBeans good to know...thank you!

[@Angieka]

@@KitKatToeBeans yep, I walk 15-20k steps a day. Potassium and magnesium are necessities at this point and not optional. Nothing else helped me sleep properly like magnesium did as well.

Omg what a beautiful interview! Just found your Chanel and I love how you give him the floor to tell his story and you are very receptive and respectful to everything he has to say. Justin what an inspiration, phenomenal job!

[@judelistens510]

Thanks!

[@pooh-bunny9249]

I feel the way Justin lost the weight is actually ideal! He didn't follow any rules. Sometimes not knowing what you are doing and just having your body lead the way is the way to go which is exactly what he did!

[@gracedwithmission8644]

This interview was exactly what i needed. To the T! I'm a long term intermittent and prolonged faster. Lost a lot, gained a bit back and am at a stuck point in weight but have never bren able to settle in my desired weight. There have been habits I lost along the way. Such a timely and helpful interview! That focus on one thing based on what matters most in your goals - FIRE!!!

[@PhilipDavid-ew5gt]

I resonate so much with your story. Im 1 year clean from heroin & crack cocaine, 26 years old. At the end of December i made a promise to myself to get healthy. I went from being a malnurished homeless addict to overeating qnd binging until i was 100lbs overweight. Ive been intermittent fasting on a keto diet since jan 1st 2025 and have lost 10 lbs. I plan on adding in water fasts to my routine. Anywhere from 3-7days. I signed up for a transformation challenge with a cash prize to motivate myself because i really just want to be healthy. It was when i was struggling to tie my own shoes that i realized just how out of shape i was

Something that helped me against leg cramps is boron salt. 3mg per day. Go not above 10mg per day, because it's dangerous.

Any tips on managing loose skin while losing weight from fasting? Ty 🙏

[@KitKatToeBeans]

Make sure you’re fasting long enough to reach Autophagy. Which begins after 17hrs. I watched a video where a woman said Autophagy failed her but she admitted she was only fasting 15hrs a day and obviously was not even reaching Autophagy. Also take a good collagen powder every day. I like Vital Proteins Collagen in my black coffee.

This is crazy how ppl are afraid of carbs

[@JustinDorff]

Yea I was afraid of carbs early on because I recognized I was transferring addictions. I was craving sugar all of the time, and I didn't want to feel controlled by that. But thankfully, I worked through all of that over time!

Snake juice cole is better and actually knows about fasting. But people looked down on him. Recommends onoy 2 to 3 day fasts. And 2000-3500 calories max refeed days. And mske sure to train heavy on refeed days and only minor cardio fasted days. And ofcourse nake sure to drink your snake juice every fasted day

Hello🐎🦓🦓🐴🐎🐧🐧🐧🐕🐶, 🐦 God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy and Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Jesus sincerely to be God's childJohn 1:12. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on HIS name." That is great news! Will you sincerely receive Holy, Lord Jesus into your life today

[@messykitchen7]

He never explained his fasting in detail.

[@krystaperry288]

Only Made it through 4 minutes. It’s something disingenuous about losing a lot of weight in a short period of time, which a lot of people want to do, then saying, I would never it do it that way again. That is easy to say AFTER you lost the weight. I’m sure his course is going to take you 6-8 months, what it took him 3 months to accomplish

[@basiltiffani8850]

This sounds like an eating disorder, like disordered eating.

[@EL6166]

No it’s fasting u have to let your stomach heal an some people gain weight faster or fat stick longer then others so we have to go to extreme lengths
