Type of fast Water
Context of fast Started Sunday evening, ending Tuesday morning
Length of fast 36 hours
Why? Weight loss, mental clarity, energy
Notes How is it going so far? Any concerns? Insights to share?
18:6 normally, this is my 2nd 36 hour fast, just tested positive for Covid. Any reason to stop or should I carry on if I feel Okay? Just looking for some advice/reassurance.
Type: water, black coffee
Context: started last night at 5:45 pm; ends at 4:00 pm today
Length: I aim for 21:3 each day, although today I will have fasted just over 22 hours.
Why: weight loss
Notes: Im going on my third week of essentially 21:3, and I’m down 13 pounds (45 pounds down from my highest weight in September 2020). If there are certain days when I feel I need to eat more, I will do 18:6. So far, fasting has been going well, and I’m feeling great.
I first tried IF back in 2020, but slipped back into my old habits after a few months (but somehow managed not to regain what I had lost). Now I’m back and more motivated than ever. I have finally reached the point where I’m fed up being obese and unhappy. That is why I’m posting here. I usually lurk, but I’ve decided to put myself out there in order to hold myself accountable.
Type: Water/Tea/Black Coffee
Context: 3 hrs 10 min to go
Length: 16 hrs - started yesterday at 8 pm
Why: weight/fat loss
Notes: First intentional 16:8 fast since fall of 2020! I saw amazing results with IF but have fallen off track since then. I have a 3 month old baby and want to lose some stubborn postpartum fat in my mid-section. My babe is starting to sleep better, but she wakes once at night and is an early riser. Not getting adequate sleep has made it harder to stick to my fasts. I have tried a couple of times to do 14:10 last week, but I failed. I think I will be successful today with my 16:8! I made sure to eat a hearty dinner last night (broccoli, roasted red potatoes, and ground Turkey taco mix + 2 paleo cookies)
Type: Water/Tea/Black coffee
Context: 4 hours to go
Length: 18:6
Why: weight loss
Also trying CICO this week. This seems to be the hardest stretch of the fast for me. But I know the wave will go away soon.
Good luck everyone!
Type: Water
Context: daily fast started 8:30 pm
Length: 18 hours
Why: Continued weight loss
Notes: I’m adding Time in where I’m not fasting because my body is getting used to me being in a fasted state and the plateaus are getting longer/harder to break. I broke my last plateau by going completely of fasting for a week. Feasting but not eating everything in sight.

It’s going well so far. I hope I’m able to complete this without any crazy hunger pangs. It’s my first multi-day fast.. so I’m kind of nervous - but excited at the same time!
