Who has done a 3-day fast? Any tips? How much weight did you lose? Did it stay off? Clean fast or bone broth? The most I have done is 36 hours previously. Thanks!
After I gain about 12-15 lbs I do a 3 day fast, really 86+ hour fasts since I go for 3 full sleeps. I am really good at fasting now, but I feel like a fast every 30-45 days or so...

My goal is to lose 10-12 pounds of fat, and I'm considering achieving this by doing as many 3 day water fasts followed by 3 days of regular eating (at maintenance or just below) until I reach this goal. However...
Hi! So I found this thread and study: https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/1152dnv/insulin_resistance_after_a_3day_fast_is/ that seems to say 3 days fasting+ have a negative effect on insulin, reduces insulin sensitivity and increases insulin resistance . First time I heard that, any insights? Not seeking medical advice,...

Seeking advice! I’m interested in doing a 3-day fast for autophagy, immunity, and a little weight loss. I’m 5’3 and maybe 125lb so not a lot to lose, also wondering if this means my fast will be harder than it...
I'm fasting for longevity purposes. I was seeing that mouse studies on fasting would not be correlated to IF or OMAD which is what I've been doing. They would be closer to a 3-5 day fast. I was further reading...

Newbie here. I’m on my first 3 day fast. Feeling great so far but I’m curious about what results you all have gotten so I can manage my expectations

I plan on doing a 3 day fast. I never done a 3 day fast. I was wondering if their is any helpful tips. And if there is anyone who wants to do a 3 day fast with me.
This was my first attempt, I've been 24 hour fasting for about a week and very new to it all,, so I guess I shouldn't be that upset with myself, but I'm still bummed. I could use some support and...

Having surgery sucks, especially having a surgery that significantly impacts your day-to-day functions. I had to get my tonsils taken out this week so eating is extremely difficult. I'm mildly thankful that I've been fasting on-and-off for the...
Hello (talking water fasting here) Usually the longer the fast the better - meaning more "healing" (or simply GOOD) effects on your body. 5day, 7day, 9day or even more fasts (if done right) are better/healthier for your body than "simple" 3 day...

So far I’ve heard only overwhelmingly positive things about IF. What are the downsides? These 3+ day fasts seem especially dangerous. Vitamin deficiency, malnutrition, hair loss, poor skin health, etc. are all common when we don’t get enough nutrition. How does...
