TIPS! 1. Drink PLENTY of water. water will make you feel more full and you don't gain weight from it 2. Try to distract yourself. Try not to give into cravings for food or you might break your fast. 3. Remember it can reduce risk of chronic diseases. 4. Try to sleep longer. (if you can) I'm gonna start a 5 day fast! If you're starting your fast, good luck and happy fasting!

Honestly in day 3 (for me), it's not the hunger that will break your fast. It's your mind constantly thinking about any kind of food whether it is a fruit, meat, desserts, etc. Sleeping is also the hard part because you also keep thinking about food.

I was on the toilet a lot on day 4 and I felt so much lighter and clear minded afterwards. My body loved the feeling of being cleaned out. I tried to go another day but temptation got the best of me and I ate some yogurt and oats when I woke up the next morning on day 5 lol. It was my first time fasting and I’m surprised and happy I actually went that long. 10/10 recommend, I’m gonna try to do this once a month. I learned and gained a lot just in those 4 days. Better self discipline and accountability, I got better sleep, I felt more energized while working out, I meditated more so I wouldn’t think about food, I spent less time on social media to avoid temptation, and it motivated me to eat cleaner and be more conscious of what I put into my body.

Day 1: ✅ Tuesday Last ate: Monday, 9 pm Start weight: 70.8 kg / 156.1 lbs Morning went by smooth, the evening was very hard and I was really struggling. I only drink water from sunset until sunrise. Day 2: ✅ Wednesday Weight: 70,5 kg/ 155,4 lbs I slept great, but the morning was awful, I had shakes, my heart kept racing and I had the strong urge to quit. In the evening when I could drink water I felt much better but I was still very tired. Day 3: ✅ Thursday Weight: 68,9 kg /151,9 lbs I slept great, felt energized and awake in the morning. At 9 pm I finished the 72 hours fast. I lost a total of 2,1 kg / 4.6 lbs. I feel my body has reset and I feel healthy. I broke my fast with water when the sunset, and had a bowl of soup and a simple salad at 9 pm. Tips: The first two days were were difficult so I do recommend everybody trying this to sleep as long as you can and to use a sprinkle of salt in your water (for electrolytes and decrease the feeling of nausea and dizziness. This will not break your fast).

For me, 3 days fasts is in the cross section of "too much effort" and "too little return". For extended water fasts, the first 3 days are always the hardest. Once you fast past 3 days, you can easily go on for another 4 days to stretch it to a week or even two. By doing the extension, you're not only benefitting more from the autophagy process but you're getting more benefits of the fast while suffering the same hard 3 days. ( most cravings and keto flu happen in the first 3 days). I think shorter fasts are ideal for most people. But if you're going to do an extended fast might as well go a little longer.

There are three ways to deal with acid reflux or gerd on a fast: 1. A little bit of baking soda in a cup of water. 2. High PH water(will turn off some of your peptins).

Ramadan is at best intermittent fasting , not fasting . But, as you may already know, intermittent fasting is a sustainable method towards health . What's interesting is that, every religion in the world recommend fasting . They do so for health purposes , and more importantly, for spiritual purposes . The jains (Jainism) are probably the people to follow most extreme fasting . .I have heard some of them die after doing over 3 months fasting (deliberate ) They are of the opinion that natural way to die is by fasting ( some animals do this )

For the last two years I have done a three day fast every month. The benefits are just as you described. I am able to have whatever I would like to eat within reason the rest of the month. Some days I eat twice per day, but mostly OMAD. By the way I’m a 64 YO male.

Little trick I found was when hunger pains got bad, I would do a 1 minute plank or deep knee bends or some other moderate exercise. Not only did it take away from the desire for food but gets me in a little better shape.

[@silvestrenavarro5495]

My standard fast breaking meal is, steak -organic, grass fed, brown rice and asparagus with a little bit of red wine (like 3oz). If it’s breakfast, it’s 3 organic eggs on top of a corn tortilla that’s been spread out with salsa and topped with some spinach, and milk -organic, grass fed- coffee with a teaspoon of raw honey

[@thecouplechallenge7110]

first two days are the hardest because your body is getting into ketosis! There are way to accelerate and facilitate the process though! (we posted a video last week explaining showing how we prepared for our 3 daywater fast. We got into ketosis the first day and we accidentally did 4 days (93h) of fasting instead of 3 because of how good we were feeling the whole time lol (we calculated 3 day as 3 whole days instead of 3x 24h=72h . you got this!!

[@j2the-Y]

Thank you for this motivation. I am on day 1 and it’s been 22 hours. Motivated to do this 🙌🏽

[@Camila-im9ws]

A massage sounds like a great idea during the fast. Lymphatic drainage and relaxation. The first 2 days are the hardest, easier when you slowly transition from solids to fruit and veggie liquids, then water. Doing it over a calm weekend is awesome. I did find that keeping myself busy helped keep my mind off the hunger, but it also quickly uses up the little energy you might have. Day 3 is the best! Regulated body cycles and lots of energy. Love the electrolyte water tip! I love the reset feeling, how much excess water and toxins are eliminated. I always feel like my body expels everything and it’s such a good feeling to remove all the toxins and reset my palate.

[@concernedcitizen6577]

Whenever I am hungry while fasting, I would go drink 2 cups of water. If I am still hungry, I would take a power nap and after waking up, the hunger goes away. So long as you still have fat on your body, the feeling of starvation is just an illusion.

[@ms.rivera7898]

I love fasting. I just finished a 36 hours fast which is the sweet spot for me. I’m gonna start trying to do a 3-day fast once or twice a month (on Friday, Saturday, Sunday). It’s easier for me to fast when I am not working. I have a school break coming up so I will utilize that time.

[@nigarabbas5612]

This version of fasting really matters. Now im on my third day of water fasting. And the result is truly amazing. I literally lost 3 kg in just 2 days. Tomorrow i will break the fast and measure my kgs. I started with 78, now im 75 apprxmtly. But worth to note that, everything she said is true, i feel the cleaning in my body, m y blood and even in soul

[@nigarabbas5612]

@Sandra Villafuerte no, actually. Heavy exercises can cause a little damage due to researches i did. But you can walk during your fast, it would be amazing

Even with this video being posted 4 years ago, I’m glad to see it, get educated and read all the success stories through the comments. It’s motivating for sure! Currently at 43 hours of initially a 24 hours fast but kept going. I’ve squeezed lemon to my water so I’m not sure if that breaks the fast or reduces benefit at all. I do have the flu symptoms but I still feel great and not hungry. The cravings are kicking into high gear though!

I am frightened about some pigmented spot on the skin and see it as a likely token of cancer of some inner organ and therefore willingly will undergo a full 3 days water fasting ,throughout which I will EAT NOTHING and will DRINK ONLY WATER THUS HOPING that this THROUGH WATER FASTING will eat away my ill cells and the pigmented skin spot will go away and together with it the dread for a likely cancer illness.However,If the skin darkened spot do not go away after the full 3 days fast ,sadly ,then I ought to go in some hospital and there undergo full medical examinations.Anyway ,before 2 years I underwent a 3 days water fasting and good aftermaths of it were that at least ,I lost whole 3 kg and my skin became so fresh-looking and above all I felt ny body also so wonderfully cleansed from inside! Thank you for your wonderful video ,which is indeed heartening ,mood-uplifting and behaviourally helping !

It’s been 18 hours since my last meal. The urge to eat food comes every now and then and I feel pretty low on energy, but that’s to be expected. Update 1: Got through my 24 hours of consuming nothing but water. I recommend reading books to end the day quicker. Update 2: Woke up feeling pretty normal. 34 hours into fasting now and not going to lie, I’m on the verge of giving up. I just love food so much lol. I hope I can get by after brushing my teeth and taking a shower.

Thanks for a really intelligent video. I am currently in day 2 of a water fast and feeling ok but i do notice that i always feel better in the morning and tend to have rougher patches later in the day. But that’s just me. The biggest issue i find is that meals punctuate the day and without them time tends to drag.

[@sittingindetroit9204]

I have a long term low dose chemo regiment every two weeks. I began fasting for 3 days after each treatment (so 3 out of each 14 day period) and had about 20% excess body weight when I began. During the first 3 months I found I lost roughly 3-4% of the body weight each time but would gain back about half during the feeding periods. Starting in month 4, I noticed the fasting weight loss dropped to closer to 2-2.5%. After 5 months I was at a total loss of 14.4%. Chemo treatments have just been upped to every week so I decided to shift my fasting to every week also. The only other difference I am making is to do the fasting the 3 days before the treatment instead of after. Hopefully this will reduce the "side effects" of the chemo treatments. I figure once I hit the 20% loss I will reduce to 2 days. Side note: Be careful on not only how fast you ramp up your eating after the fast but what you eat. I learned the hard way not to consume a lot of roughage after a 3 day fast.
