TL;DR: one day refeeding with 3000-6000 kcal with sometimes half of that coming from sugar doesn't undo the benefits of fasting for me. I did OMAD with keto 3 years ago for 3-4 months with weight training. I lost ~10 kg...
One **CRUCIAL** thing that helped me to keep going was making 0 carbs refeed (eggs, tuna, chicken), why? **Refeed with carbs:** Wake up next day and see the scale went up 2 - 3kgs, need 72 hours to get back to...
On Friday I completed a 6-day soft dry fast and I wanted to share my results. I'm also welcoming any ideas on how I can improve my results in my next fasts. ​ **Background** First off, I'd like to say that I have...

I just completed my first 5 day fast. I was feeling really good and could have kept going but decided to end it just because the longest I had done prior was only 48 hrs and didnt want to over...
Hi. I know after an extended dry fast with proper refeeding, the scale will show gain. Depending on the refeed, that would be water/liquid gain. But how can you ensure that.. after an extended fast and even with refeeding, you...
**GOOD NEWS,** I believe I was getting concerned reading about the "refeeding syndrome" dangers and considering ending my fast early. After a LOT of research I found 'CALCIUM PHOSPHORUS" by 'Wonderlabs." I believe it will be a great help...

It's the fruits refeed VS fats/probiotics refeed. I'd like to hear everyone's experiences for which is best. In past extended fasts (2 7 days, one 8 day) I refed with fruits, I'd usually break my fast with water then cucumber+apple...
I'd been lurking on this sub for many months and tried my hand at intermittent fasting + keto with lots of success in the past, but my insulin resistance made it so that what little progress I made I would...

Day 5 of 5 have started! :) I have been torn between temptation to prolong it and obsessing about drinks and food. Decision at this point is to not prolong it since it is not recommended to go more than...
I'm about to start the detox, and am curious about the refeeding. I don't see any information on the website about the number of calories to eat during the refeed window. Does it matter? Can you eat too many/few?
Basically the title, has anyone done a variation of 48/72 hour dry fasts? Fasting - refeeding - back to fasting? I know it's usually recommended to keep a decent/longer refeed so just looking for opinions? Thank you!
Anyone else feel like crap after refeeding? I completed a 7 day fast then refed 2 nights ago. All day yesterday and most of today while back to eating I’ve felt super brain foggy, bad mood and low energy. I...

I'd like to do an extended water fast, but hate telling my friends (cause we know how people can be). So I'm thinking I could eat only on the days they've invited me out to eat, which could be...
Since every gram of carb fuses with 3 or 4 grams of water i know that drinking any liquid after eating carbs will increase my weight. Protein (gluconeogenesis) and fats are also transformed into glycogen so even avoiding carbs you...

I was wondering if you should you eat at a deficit on refeed days? Doing EOD/ADF if that matters.
How likely is it that I’ll get it? I fasted from about 10PM on Wednesday to 8AM today (Friday), and have had 500kcal so far today. Can I eat a normal amount of calories today, or should I stop eating?...

I am doing my first dryfast in years, just 48 hours to get the feel for it again. Should i avoid certain foods for refeed or doesnt it really matter when my fast is only 2 days? I was thinking...
I may grab some sardines, scrambled egg and chicken breast. Hoping some more water weight I've collected comes off tomorrow before the refeed. The actual scale hasnt really budged compared to previous fasts.
Currently doing rolling 48s. It’s going great. I do Keto redress of roughly 1500kcal. I’m 1,9m and at 84.7kg and workout, therefore the high calories, makes it sustainable for me. During my redress I really crave some carbs. Can somebody tell...
