Hi everyone, My longest fast was 48h and I'm looking to go for longer fasts step by step. I've often heard that the first 1-3 days of longer fasts were the hardest, so my question is: What part of fasting is the...
Just thrilled that I completed a 68 hour fast today. This is as long as I have ever gotten. And I have been stubbornly stuck at a weight level and adding the extra time resulted in breaking through the plateau. Trying...

I’d like to do a 3-5 days water fast (longest fast 36 hours so far) but OH suggests broth fast. Any difference in terms of results/benefits between the two? Thanks!
I originally wanted to push for 48 hours but was feeling weak and shaky, despite being hydrated and having electrolytes so I cut it short. Just had a keto meal and am feeling much better! I tend to emotionally binge...
Some background: I've been doing some combination of IF and OMAD for probably around a year now. Extended fasting (24h+) is relatively new to me; I probably started incorporating them around 5 or so months ago. I don't remember what...
