The sub r/fasting has long auto mods on every post about electrolytes as well as not using the word ‘detox.’ Apparently there was some scientific meta analysis that found no diet is known for detox. However several toxic substances, like...
Has anyone else noticed that social media plateforms are seeing a rise in these carnivore/keto MDS recently who relentlessly advocate for these diets and are getting more and more popular.
So I have a juicer, a fairly expensive Breville that has been sitting in my cupboard for at least 5 years. I’m moving soon and I’m trying to decide whether to keep it or cast off the dead weight. Here...
My husband recently watched an episode of Limitless, where Hemsworth talked about the benefits of intermittent fasting. My husband is quite active and lean but has a little weight in the gut that he hasn’t been able to lose. So...
I have a very good diet but for the past month i have been eating junk food now i want to start my carnivore diet routine but first i want to do a 7 day dry fast to detox my...
If yes, can you share your diet?
I've been fasting on and off for years, how often I go into "I'm going to start fasting again" varies. Usually short ones, 24 hours or so, day on day off, once or twice a week, etc. About a year+...
Hi, I have been on a whole-food plant based diet for a while. Still looking for ways to improve health and longevity. Combining the two seems so powerful, that I'm wondering if this can be safely accomplished. Does anyone has...
One of the things I understand from reading the Obesity Code (almost finished), it that too much sugar and snacking results in insulin resistance and obesity. I have changed my diet to cut out sweets and I only eat twice...
You know what they say: you are what you eat. And if that's true, then I'm probably a pizza with a side of fries. But in all seriousness, nutrition is important, and it's fascinating to learn about the science behind...
Would love to have a partner through this. I'm looking to do a 14 day fast, but this being my first extended fast I plan to listen to my body to see how far I can go. F/21/5'3" CW: 148lbs GW:...
Hi all! 😁 I'm new here, but so far this looks promising. Let's get right into it! 1. Regardless of if one is inferior or superior to the other, it's important to know the difference between 1 day DF vs ...

Hi all, while intermittent fasting, will drinking a diet gatorade or diet ice tea drink knock you out of fasting?
Not completely unhealthy and I cut out dairy and a lot of sugar but I’m planning on eating mainly fruits and vegetables 24/7 I’m wondering when will I see benefits from eating an assortment of fruits and vegetables all day everyday
People are fucking stupid. Over a couple years, the shit I’ve read on this subreddit or other forums related to the snake diet is mostly brain dead or just lazy. The snake diet is the simplest thing ever. Stop eating. Mix...
Hi y’all, as the title says I’ve been struggling with nausea, headaches, muscle aches 6 days into my 7 day fast. I’m 26(F), 5’0 and currently weigh 166 pounds (started this current fast at 173 pounds). For more context, here’s...
I know most people say they smell bad in ketosis. I noticed the exact opposite. My pits and crotch just smell “human”, not stinky like when I’m eating carbs. Am I alone?
I can’t tell if this is just me, but I don’t feel any perceived difference when I’m eating clean for a long period of time. I do notice a short term “sluggishness” when eating a heavy cheat meal. Which goes...
Are veg powder drinks a waste of money in terms of nutritional value?

Do you personally prepare for every dry fast? Or you jump straight into it without eating fruits or vegetables and all that stuff.

So this is day 1 of my snake diet cleanse fast and I’m so hangry! I’m just thinking of all the foods that I want to eat. Suddenly everything sounds delicious to me even things that i’m not even that...
I'm a real sweet tooth. I love love love chocolate and pastries with my morning and afternoon tea/coffee and just some sour candy each night while watching movies, but I've realized I cannot keep living like this since I'm...
I’m fasting for weight loss so it doesn’t really matter to me, but other than entering ketosis, I feel like I never get autophagy, mental clarity, or the loss of hunger. Also, I don’t understand what detoxifying or resetting your...
Thinking about fasting I was considering just how light of weight a person could possibly be and still remain perfectly healthy. When fasting only unessential body-tissue is eliminated, never any which is essential to the body's natural healthy functions; and...
I want to try the Snake diet, but im a bit hesitant because of the possible inability to do my job correctly.
Ive been on again off again with a lot of fasts but this time I’m not quitting for a few reasons reasons 1. I’m starting to notice a lot of health implication like heart burn and severe sweating. I think keeping myself...
I am doing it to cleanse my body and let it deep clean itself and revitalise itself, to feel hot, for my skin, so my body can regenerate and do everything it's been wanting to do. Feast must be balanced...

Hi guys. I'm looking to do a dry fast with some added water fast days. My first dry fast ended around a month ago. I felt incredible, felt no pain, no thirst, no hunger, and an almost completely symptom free time...
A little about me, I started this journey at #262 lbs (6'1") and am shooting for a goal weight of #182. I am not obese, per se, but i do carry a lot of extra weight. My goal is to...
What was your experience? Would you recommend? Why or why not?
I teach intro to nutrition to college undergrads and I’m always looking for buzzy nutrition fads to break down with them. What’s the worst of the worst, the cringiest of the cringe that you’ve seen out there lately?
Can someone point out the pros/cons of each and if one is ultimately better or worse for the goal of detoxing (just giving my body a break from alcohol and not-so-healthy food, as a "reset") and losing weight? I'd prefer...
Being in the South, I used to tell people I'm fasting, but that invariably just ends with them patronizing me with "fasting is bad for you", or teasing me with the food they are eating for lunch. My full...
Hi everyone. 25 m here. 5 ft 9 120KG/265lbs (aka very fat) I have done some prolonged fasting in the past (72 hours) and I did them back to back. I lost nearly all of my excess weight and...
I'm following alot of advice from Dr Berg and fast, feast, repeat Previously was on a very junk based diet, combined with PCOS and a pregnancy (I had my daughter 21 months ago) and my weight has only gone up...
I just read Filonov‘s book and he said It is important to do these and should not fast without doing these cleanses first. I was hoping to avoid these and just start with a 20hr fast and...
For those of you that are aiming for autophagy and healing, what do you prioritise eating after breaking your fast? I guess the answer changes depending on length of fast - personally I'm doing repeat ~40h weekly, and am also...
I was wondering what happens to your last meal or two when you dry fast. Do they just sit in your guts drying up or are you still able to have bowel movements. I imagine not. I've only dry fasted...
I am 500 lbs, I want to do this fast to lose weight and to not get as much loose skin when I do. I've done a previous 21 day water fast in which I lost about 40 lbs, and...
I’m curious, is this just for weight loss? If you are a normal body weight, should you do anything more than 24 hours?
I'm posting this as a warning. I suffer from cptsd from abuse i endured in childhood. After seeing improvement while water fasting, mostly due to cutting off carbs I believe, I decided to try a 72 dry fast. I did it mostly...
Hey guys, I’m kinda new to the fasting world. I’ve only ever done a water fast lasting 6 days but it made me feel awful (this was over a year ago). My main goal is weight loss. I’m looking for...
**Hey Everyone!** So, I've been debating wether to post my story here or not, but I feel reading someone else's experience when it comes to any situation helps others put into perspective the "rights and wrongs" of certain things, fasting/dieting...
Honestly I love love love fast food. I want to be healthy but I really don't want to completely give up fast food. Just for an example lets say I at a triple cheeseburger from mcdonads everyday but I didnt...
Disclaimer: it looks quite disgusting. But if anyone could offer me some information I'd be really grateful. What the heck is that? It smelled awful, and usually my dumps have a mild odor and look "healthy" (appropriate shape, texture and color)....

Is it the overconsumption of calories? Or is it that fast food is t very nutritionally dense. Also if I overate healthy food would I still feel bad afterwards?
My first question is does anybody ever actually get the recommended daily intake of potassium/how do you do it? It seems so difficult, especially without consuming too much oxalates. Which brings up the second question of in your experience, has...
All those years I drink so little water and when I am fasting I drink even less.. I just can't and i don't know why. I see some recommending as high as 3,7L of water per day!! How is...

I eat my meal after work, at around 6 or 7pm. Wife keeps telling me that I’ll never feel full unless I have SOME carbs and sugar. So I cheat. Yesterday after my keto meal I ate 2 oranges, but...

225 M 5’10 I’m a fatass. I can’t lose weight. Everytime I try I can’t finish a fast.
This is my first time dry fasting, but I did do a smoothie detox before so my body should be used to not eating. I plan on doing a 5 day fast and moving to an 7 day fast if...

which influencer-promoted gut-health tips are actually good recommendations to follow? and which are myths needing to be de-bunked? examples: probiotics, fermented foods, meal timing, avoiding dairy/gluten, etc.
I have a bit of energy at the start of each dry fasting day but I'm dead after 3 hours of work.
So I’m no stranger to the world of fasting. I’ve completed a couple dry and water fasts a couple years ago while living out of the country. Durring that time in my life I was relatively lean. (M 6’0 220...
Well, at 13 days into this diet I made a turning point today. I mowed the lawn AND took the dog for a 40 minute walk with ZERO heart palpitations. Both of these things I did EFFORTLESSLY (48...
I'm wondering if there's any research around, can anyone please help? I'm not talking about treatment of cancer using fasting but prevention. I'm keen to know. I'm eating on a 20:4 pattern at the moment, some days 16:8 if I...

I really need some advice. I've tried different diets and intermittent fasting but always fall off fairly quickly. However, IF seems more doable for me. Except, I feel like it isn't working. I'm only on day 13 so obviously I...

I started my water about 80 hours ago. I actually didn't plan on doing a water fast, I basically didn't eat for a day(only drank water), and I though, well I'm already 24 hours in. I really don't have an...
Just to be clear, I am gonna go to the doctor about this, just realized it is a problem that is not temporarily caused by dehydration or detoxing during the fasts. But it can take months just to get an...
Hi everyone, Almost completed day 6 of a 10 (but potentially longer) water fast. My reasons for attempting this are to try and see if it can help me recover from some lingering health issues that I am suffering with (suspected...
