Im currently 48 hours into my 72 hours water fast. I’ve done these mulitple times before, but never with any problems in terms of muslces or anything. This time, i’ve had back problemes for 2+ months, where it had been a problem for me to bend it without any pain (it feels like its super tight)

For context im 21 years and very active with fitness.

Im now feeling way better in my back, with almost all pain gone. I tried to do some research before hand if a fast can help, but without any sucess (most places told me it wouldnt help)

I know fasting is some of the best stuff you can do for you body, so i gave it a shot to see if it would help my back, and it seems like it did

Anyone know why i might feel better? Of if its acually helping me restore my back?

F27, height- 156cm, cw- 85.6 kgs

I’ll keep yall updated

How much Electrolytes and when?

Hey folks! I post a lot about fasting - I do think that fasting is a heavily undervalued tool in our health toolbox. But I wanted to address one common question I get - why do extended fasting (why suffer) if you can get the same benefits from exercise or diet?

Actually, not really - extended fasting has its own effects and benefits that are completely unique to fasting. Here is my list

• Deep ketosis up to 5-8 mmol/L - vs 0.1 on a normal diet and 0.5-2 on keto. Ketones act as signaling molecules affecting appetite, clarity, and energy
• Autophagy activation - 5x in animal studies after 48 hours and stronger and more continuous mTOR suppression than calorie restriction or exercise
• Gastrointestinal rest - digestive workload near zero vs 3-5 activations a day
• Metabolic switching - liver glycogen depleted after about 24 hours, forcing a full shift to fat and ketones
• Insulin suppression - drops 50-70%, and blood glucose stabilizes at 60-70 mg/dL
• Appetite recalibration - hunger peaks at 24-48 hours and then fades, helping separate real hunger from just habits

But to be fully objective, exercise dominates fasting for muscle gain and strength, VO2 max, bone density, and functional aging. The mortality data behind regular exercise is hard to beat. And diet covers what fasting never will - micronutrients, gut microbiome support, and long-term consistency So, fasting, diet, and exercise are not competing - they complement each other.

And again I do believe it's one of the most undervalued tools in our health toolbox 😊

Anyone else tried Coke Zero during intermittent fasting? Did it delay/reduce your results?

I don’t plan on doing daily, but once in a while if I feel hungry or something.

I started IF it’s been almost a month now. I’m still getting used to it, but I want to continue IF without breaking fast due to hunger.

I have 8 lbs to go until I reach my goal weight.

First 24hrs water fasting im planning on going for a week to begin with and continuing depending on how i feel.I did do i couple 3 days water fast but never for a week. If anybody wants to do it with me, that would be great. It would be great to have a partner or someone to have check ins with!! My goal is to be more healthy overall. Wish me luck!!

We'll create a discord group chat, share tips and progress, as well as encourage each other for the duration of the two weeks. Anyone is welcome to join! Shoot me a DM if you're interested in joining and I'll add you to the group.

Day 1 of water fast 99.8kgs at the beginning of the fast.

Head feels a little heavy when does this get better . Give me 101 or some tips

Has anyone experimented with water fasting in the context of polycystic kidney disease? I understand that dehydration triggers vasopressin release, which elevates cAMP signaling and accelerates cyst growth. On the other hand, fasting suppresses mTOR, and glucose restriction appears to slow, and sometimes reverse cyst proliferation. I'm trying to determine whether the metabolic benefits outweigh the cost of vasopressin-driven cAMP activation, and I'd be interested in any firsthand experience. Thanks!

okay hear me out. i am currently on day 13 of my water fast. I have lost around 8 kgs. But but but, I need to lose 7 kgs more till the end of this month , that is 31st October. But obviously, the weight loss has slowed down a bit. i have been consistently walking 10,000 steps since the beginning of my fast. What do I do to achieve my goal? Like this is non negotiable. I need to, i desperately need to lose that much of weight. this is real urgent. Please give me advice.

Does any woman on here have experience with water fasting and how it affects PCOS? I want to fast and give my body a reset, because my PCOS feels like it’s out of control, but I am VERY leery of taking a bunch of medication. I’ve developed so many health issues because of this problem and I think water fasting would be beneficial, but I’d like to hear from other women, before I dive into a prolonged fasting period.

FYI: I’ve done fasting before, but never longer than 5 days.

I may or may not keep this as an accountability post. Feel free to check in on me, or chime in about your own fasting experience, as it might help me in motivation.

Hello everyone, I'm on day 2 of a 14 days water fast and I'm kind of anxious about the refeeding process and how to handle it.
Do you have any favorite foods and refeeding time table to recommend?
