I’m currently at 63hrs in. Only water/coffee etc. I don’t know my total as I’m weighing myself tomorrow. My break is at 5pm tonight, it won’t be 72 hours, but 68. I didn’t intend to do this long, but I tagged along for one of the challenges on here from Friday night at 9pm.I have lost 2.2lbs since this morning. I can keep you updated on tomorrows weigh in. I’ve been on omad since 11/25. Then on 12/2 i just rolled into the longer fast.
Eat some salt. When you have no carbs in your body if I remember correctly you do not hold onto water.
Although every gram of fat used I believe turns into gram of water.
Not just about weight loss but autophagy. Making your body work better.
I don’t claim to be an expert, but I have done fasting for 5 days at a time multiple times.
It’s been a while but have done a few 3 day fasts; first day is usually the most difficult in my experience. Main thing is to keep busy whether out of the house, activities or gaming. I personally enjoy cycling once a day whilst cycling, tends to ward the hunger away if it arises. Electrolyte drink can help also if you’re hungry. Not tried bone broth but usually break fast with a meat of my choice with salt and pepper (think it’s supposed to be better to avoid steak but I have done this). All the best with it!
I just finished a 5 day fast. I’ve done a few 72hr ones and find the 3rd day to be the hardest. I do water, black coffee and unflavored sparkling water (no bone broth) and I take the Reset extended day fasting electrolyte capsules which help with low energy, headaches, muscle cramps, etc. Lost 7lbs and after refeeeding, I keto 5lbs off.
Everyone’s different. Give it a strong college try. Listen to your body. And give up if you need to you can always start again. But the more you try, the more you’ll know when it’s time to break or time to push. That was a big revelation the more I tried those 3 day + fasts. I try to do one a week every other day omad and sometimes I make the 72 hours and sometimes don’t. It’s ok. Be easy on yourself. And electrolytes are hugeeeee. Good luck!!!!
