Have You Done A Water Fast Before?

[Antwon Mitchell]

I've unintentionally went through something like that for a whole day...couldn't make it the next day, mouth started tasting horrible due to waters natural blandness and at one point I almost felt like I was about to faint.

My stomach got all warm while I started feeling fatigued, going to sleep gave me energy the next morning...shyt I couldn't wait to get in that fridge tho, I don't know how people do it.

What was your experience like? How long did it last?

I’m on day 5 and I’m TANKING smh. Soooo tired.

Original plan was to do 7 days then extend it to 10 if I felt good. Now I’m not sure I’m gonna make it to day 7.

I made it 6 days in 2018 before I tapped out. I'm actually starting another one in the morning & if I start getting weak I'll make a smoothie.

also, after a while if you don't eat something during the week then your body will eventually hit a wall where it gets hard to lose the weight (body goes into conservation mode).

That's usually after the first two weeks.

If there’s nothing to digest, there’s nothing to digest. Your body will not go into “conservative” mode when there’s excess fat to consume. It’s literally the purpose of fatty tissue.

However, once someone is starving, having little to no fat, that’s when the body slows down the metabolism to conserve everything you eat. But at that point, the body is burning through muscle too, and less muscle means a lower basic metabolic rate.

Have dark brown piss, brehs.

If I did that, my body would crash, headache, fatigue, weakness and sandpaper feeling in stomach.

You need to get electrolytes in, otherwise fasting for extended periods suck. Everything About Getting Enough Electrolytes While Fasting - Siim Land

Starve yourselves, brehs

 

[Solo ✧✦✧]

No, I prefer to eat every day like a person with sense.

 

[hostsamurai]

Yeah, 10 days. Tried to go for 2 weeks but too much stress at work. If you can manage your salts and mineral intake and you don't have a physical job it's pretty easy.

 

[Edub]

Yeah, when I was dead broke. But even in those situations I also did a "steal this food item and run" fast.

 

[DapMeUp!]

I thought it forces your body to feed off the reserves (excess fat) and....I got a lotta reserves.

If that is your objective, you ever tried Keto?

Exactly. You dying b.

25 days due to medical issue and depression. First 4 days was bc of the medical issue. The rest is bc I wanted to die. Last 3 days was no water either. After the first week it was easy. Dont strain your body with workouts or heavy activity for the first week bc your body isn't used to no food yet. After that you'll adjust and resume life. You'll get dizzy sometimes bc of low blood pressure, low sugar and your body eating fat and muscle when the fats gone.

I attempted to do a water-only fast for 5 days: I made it for 3 days, last 2 days I drank Gatorade & water.

(1st cup of water each morning was warm purified h2o w/fresh lemon.)

not drinking water bad for u
