[@ForHisGlory222]

Amazing job, Jackie! Just two things that crossed my mind while watching this... for folks who are watching this, it's important to know that eating a big heavy meal immediately after a prolonged fast can actually be really dangerous. Like, can kill you dangerous. The longer the fast, the more important it is to properly come off it- liquids, fruits & veggies. Also, as a mom, I have been guilty of drinking way too much coffee and taking in wayyy too much caffeine, which, my mom lovingly pointed out to me. 🤣 I just noticed you drink a lot of caffeinated beverages and was wondering if that could have caused your racing heart. That definitely happens to me if I have too much, especially on an empty stomach. It's just the mom in me that wanted to bring those two things up! But congrats on making it through your 100 hours and thanks for sharing your adorable family with us! 💗

[@ForHisGlory222]

Oh! Also, prolonged fasting often causes headaches, usually around the 3 day point. My understanding is the body begins detoxing more at that point and causes the headaches. I made the mistake of fasting during my period recently. I get headaches on my period already. It was TORTURE.

[@ohlovelyqs]

I avoid coffee during my prolonged fasting. No headache. But I did stop drinking coffee cause I was getting bad reactions and after 4 months I don’t miss it!

[@starxcrossed]

Racing heart is inadvertently connected to the caffeine- it’s from potassium depletion due to caffeine’s diuretic effects. I definitely limit caffeine on fasts and the reason people take salt is to limit potassium loss as well.

[@QueenXKnit]

Heart racing, painful headache, nausea, dizziness, cramps, … are often caused by too little sodium in the body ^^ Just an info for anyone maybe trying out prolonged fasting soon.

[@marianmoore4382]

LMNT is what always works for me. Keeps all that away.

[@uglyartcountstoo]

@@marianmoore4382 what is LMNT

[@QueenXKnit]

@@uglyartcountstoo Its a brand that sells electrolytes ! You dont have to buy them to go through a prolonged fast, you can find substitue elsewhere^^

[@carrieperrigo2319]

I've been IF for about 3 yrs. When I try to cut back on my sugar, then I eat sugar like last night when I had an ice cream come during my eating window, I have really bad cramps, like last night at midnight and again at 2. They were the worst ever. Makes eating that delicious ice cream cone totally not worth it. And I drink electrolyte water all day.

[@auntpurl5325]

I really appreciate your chat about the scale. I will be mindful of that when I try an extended fast as well as the electrolytes. And I will postpone strenuous exercise and just stretch instead. You are so inspiring and helpful. You help me enjoy fasting.

[@Grayfang1]

I’m learning how to have a healthy relationship with food, really starting to slowly understand. I can’t ever properly explain how much your example has helped me with this. The simple and honest way you share what you do that works for you, please keep sharing exactly this with us! It is life changing. What was your appetite like in the days after your 100 hour fast? Was your appetite controlled? Did it trigger any diet brain thinking? Did you find yourself feeling you needed to overeat in the days that followed your long fast? Would love to learn from your experience! Thank you 😊.

[@Snubbur]

Really enjoy your content, just over half way through my first 48 hour fast and your channel is so motivating. I love how real you are, and dogma-free ❤️

[@peterpowell6168]

thanks for your videos 👍 i ordered my lmnt to help me do a longer fast , currently doing omad 22/2, it's a journey, 3 1/2 years so far! life at 66 years young is much easier 123pounds lighter, was 60 inch waist now 42 inch last time i checked a1C was 5.1, my journey is ever evolving. if you are struggling hang in there!! happy trails to y'all 👍

Just completed a 20 hour fast. That’s as good as it gets! You are amazing! 😊

[@user-ze3ps2go5j]

Congratulations Jackie. Well done! Thank you sharing the specifics. I appreciate the details, just in case I attempt the same. My typical weekly fast is 42 hours once a week.

[@ilovemybabies30]

Congratulations!! So proud of you! You’ve inspired me to do a longer fast this weekend. I believe that my longest fast so far was 51 hours.

[@victoriajohn6693]

I love love love this video thank you. I'll use it for longish fasts. Today I am attempting my first 36. YAY. Only maintaining now it's been 2.5 years 40 pounds lost and maintained on IF mostly OMAD and no diet restrictions. I love it !

[@kerik9512]

Always love your videos how you show us everything you eat and do👍! Thank you

[@cindyhazlett7110]

Heading into week 6 of IF, feel I have finally found what works for me! I am fasting between 18-22 hours, looking forward to my first 24 hour fast! Am sooo encouraged by your podcasts, I am 64 years old and can't wait to continue. I am not worried about weight, although I have been losing (12 lbs so far), am so comfortable with this lifestyle, I know I will live out the rest of my life IF. Thank you so much for your podcast- keep up the great work! We are all here for you and with you!!!

[@JennyLory]

That's awesome Cindy!!😊

[@KM-zn3lx]

I did well 28 day challenge and such but struggle with trying to eat sweets I find I don't care for! I guess I was keto for awhile so I overdo it. Feel wheat and sugar may be causing my gums to hurt. So will probably make sugar sweets only once or twice a week.

[@KM-zn3lx]

I also have a hard time with knowing what to eat or to have longer or shorter eating window. I'm mostly wanting weight loss and end to joint back pain. I don't like to stuff myself.

[@k8jones121]

Fantastic! Way to go! And thanks for the SHOUT OUT!!!! 🥰

[@laurenferguson736]

Hi Jackie! Congrats on your first 100 hr fast!! I started my intermittent fasting journey almost a year ago now when I came across your channel! It’s been a life changer for me and I feel great when doing IF. I typically do 20 hour fasts daily with the occasional 40-48 hr fast once every 2-3 weeks. I did one 59 hour fast back in may and yesterday I just completed my first 72 hour fast. This video helped give me that little extra push of motivation to reach my goal of 72 hours😊! I feel great. I did also use LMNT while fasting along with one tbsp of MCT oil daily along with my vitamins. Thank you for keeping us motivated while we each go through our own IF journeys!🥰

[@uglyartcountstoo]

Thank you for posting this as an inspiration to work toward! I’ve been clean fasting since late May & have gradually worked up to 20+ hours every day & many days I easily fast 23 hours with no issues. I am down from 163lb to 146lb today which is a little over a pound a week. At first I dropped to the mid 150s and then lingered there for a long time. The past few weeks, I’ve dropped more quickly. I’m a 6th grade teacher and just completed my first 2 weeks of students. I’ve had lots of energy & mental focus and have had deep sleep. So jazzed about IF as a lifestyle & looking forward to working gradually toward 36/48/60/72 and eventually maybe a 100 hour fast like you, Jackie! 💝

[@MN-jd3pw]

Congrats Jackie! 👏 🍹 So happy for you that you made it! You inspire me to try longer fast. I've done 48 hrs. 3X. I will also try LMNT. It's tough to be fasting and also cooking for your family! Good job mama!💕

Congrats, Jackie! I joined you and also accomplished a 100 hour fast! I also used LMNT, Topo Chico, laCroix, coffee and tea. Tried for variety. I am in awe of your dedication with family members eating around you! I’m an empty nester and my husband did 72 with me before he broke his fast so I only had one day that he was eating.

1st time ordering LMNT!! 🎉 I’m excited! I’ve started OMAD-ing because of you in the last month to help my weight loss. I was doing keto for 3 yrs and it stalled all in the last two yrs. So frustrating! I’m ready to move fwd and see those results! Love from WI! ✌🏻 ♥️

I really enjoyed watching your 100 hour fast Jackie!! What an accomplishment!!! Thank you for sharing about the tea concentrate. I want to try making the concentrate as well! I don't think I could ever do a 100 hour fast but who knows? LOL! I wonder about the LMNT powder. 1000 mg of sodium sounds soo high. Are your drinks extremely salty and hard to get down? Again Congratulations!! You are a fasting ROCKSTAR!!!

[@carrieo8677]

Congratulations! You are amazing! Just think of all the benefits your body was able to receive during durning the long fast. I have noticed easier cycles since I started doing 20/4, might try a 48 hour fast next month. You are inspiring!

*CONGRATULATIONS!!!* Thank you for sharing your journey with us! My longest (I just started IF and longer fasting at the beginning of 2023) was 97.5 hours. I wasn't going for 100, per se, since my primary goal is to *heal my gut and solve my histamine intolerance* issue. Since starting OMAD (75% of the time), 2MAD (25%), and having done 3 3-4 day fasts (that I didn't count in the percentages of OMAD and 2MAD), I've lost 16 lbs. I'm 51, female, 5'2", 114 lbs. I better solve my problem fast...no pun intended, LOL.

Do you only take one LMNT electrolyte during 24 hours? I was working toward 42 hours but at 38 because of feeling light headed decided to break fast early. I am 73 female and have been doing omad since Aug 1. Since I am single it has not been difficult.

[@mariaolker]

You did it! Congratulations!

[@sarahlady432]

I did a 7 day fast ( 168 hrs ) a few years back. I lost 15 lbs. My first meal was out to lunch with my daughter. I could only eat 1/3 of what I normally ate. I didn’t know much about electrolytes back then which would have totally made a difference. Only drank water. I know after a while of not eating your body goes into autophagy and starts cleaning out your system from junk and old or dead cells. Probably why the headache. I look forward to next time with the electrolytes and unflavored teas, etc. Great accomplishment for you!! Thanks for all the great tips!!

Dear Jackie, I am on permanent adf. Or to be precise, one long meal every 40-44 hours. Take approximately 4-5 hours to finish this long meal. My meal is only steamed vegetable, plain Greek yogurt, steamed white egg, plain tofu, and sometime air fry salmon sockeye, frozen raspberry, plain cacao powder. No candies, no cakes, no sweet, no other food. Sometimes vietnamese plain baguette, white rice, and brown rice porridge. I am trying permanent 2 days no food so basically fasting 60-72 hours. I don't feel hungry. BUT I FEEL NO ENERGY. CANNOT LIGHT WEIGHT LIFT, CANNOT RUN ELLIPTICAL, CANNOT CYCLE. LOOK LIKE I RUN OUT OF GLYCOGEN. I THOUGHT I COULD RELY ON FAT FOR ENERGY.

I need some advice from you on 72 hour fasting. I am on permanent alternate day fasting minimum 36 hours to maximun 48 hours. That is my fact of life due to my health issues (IBS-C). However, I discover that in order to get maximum relief of suffering from my ibs-c, I should fast permanently min 60 hours to max 72 hours. But I always fail to achieve this goal. I did reach a couple of times 60 hours and over. My primary obstacles are hunger pangs when I am on exercise like 35 minutes schwinn elliptical resistance level 80% max or bike rides (10-15 miles) to work. I drink water immediately once hunger pangs occur. It does help. Eventually, I run out of my water limit 90 oz daily. Hung pangs occur after I reach my water limit 90 oz. I don't know how to deal with hunger pangs after that. Without exercise, it seems that I should be able the goal 60-72 hour permanent fasting. Any advices should be helpful. Thanks. Without exercise look like i can do permanent 60-72 hours fasting relatively easy. So using fat as energy does not seem to work.

How do you deal with the fasting breath? 😅

Dr. Sten Ekberg explains why you had trouble with the dunes; during a long fast when you get out of breath you've moved into anaerobic exercise (only aerobic is advised) and he explains why that's a no-no during long fasts. AND, women _should only_ do long fasting starting Day 1 of their periods because of the estrogen/progesterone cycle.
