Does a more powerful type of fast exist, that transcends a dry fast?
Hey Fasting Community, I've (29M) been intermittent fasting 16:8 for several years now which has helped my type 1 diabetes quite a bit. My recent A1C is 6.0 but my doctor recently stated my blood pressure is elevated. Not quite high...
Let’s say a type 2 diabetic on insulin decides to fast. He stops taking insulin altogether. Can his blood sugar drop too low? Or is hypoglycemia only an issue for type 1 diabetics?
16 hours into my 20 hr fast. Glucose is 107. Seems like my body is producing a good amount of sugar without any food at all.
I am not necessarily planning to do this, I am just curious. Usually I do OMAD and only do longer fasts on weekends or breaks (I am in grad school). I’ve had small performances 17-48 hours fasted, and usually find...
If the goal is to avoid triggering insulin production, and I consume sugar-free sweeteners during the fasting period, does it matter since I can’t produce my own and don’t need to dose for things like that?
ive been bulking hard since the summer, currently at 17% bodyfat. my goal is to get to 12% by summer. i want to cut by fasting. I've never done a cut this way, usually, I've done a calorie-restricted cut in...
I know muscle building during fast doesn't really build muscles since it needs protein - but it still burns calories just the same correct? I am curious if anyone does a combination of cardio+strength or focus on cardio/strength only or...

I am used to drinking plain water while fasting, and I'm thinking of adding green juice since I'm drinking the water anyway. But will this ruin/break my fast? I'm talking spinach juice, kale juice, celery juice, lemon juice, lime juice,...

25F cw :275 gw:175 I started my fasting journey 3 months ago. I only did IF then and I was able to drop from 300 to 275 in 3 months with some training, caloric deficit and IF 18/6. I was able...

Hi guys, More questions if I may! I've seen so many videos with multiple views on what you can and can't break a fast with. Is it true that if you break your fast with something like a sandwich, with some cheese or...
Hi everyone, I just drank masala tea during my fasting window, have I broken my fast? Ingredients: Masala Cloves Ginger Water

Is one more beneficial than the other?

i reduce my insulin during fasts btw. so basically what i’ve read is that sometimes sodas are considered to break wl fasts because they cause an insulin response. however i of course don’t produce insulin as a type one diabetic,...
I'm type 2. I'd like to give fasting (not intermittent fasting) a try. **From reading articles and posts, i think my biggest concern would be blood sugar dropping too low.** I'm not on insulin, but i am on 3 different...

I'm planning on doing a 21 day fast, cos I've done short ones before. Do you just eat like normal leading up to the fast, or should you start lessening the food and types of foods, and how many days...
Ignoring that one may be easier than the other (all dependent on personal preference), is there a benefit to one slightly longer fast over 3 ‘medium’ fasts? (Or vice versa)
I know it's a very basic question and I apologize if it has been asked before. I used the search option and read through a few interesting threads, but none of them answered exactly what I would like to know....
I was using Zero, but it got all buggy on me. So instead of just reinstalling it after uninstalling, I’d figure I would check out something new. Any tips?
Just checking is this normal? Has anyone experienced something similar. Sorry mean bowel movements

Basically the title. Read the post and AMA. As my experience with fasting was good, I still would not recommend this to any typical t1d without decades of knowledge and experience. Everyone's diabetes is unique and acts differently in...
I did a 72 last week and it helped me push through knowing other people were also fasting. Anyone want to join me on this one?
my main goal is to lose 50 pounds in 3 weeks and the researches I've done suggest that one day of dry fasting equals 3 days of water fasting in terms of effectiveness. what's your take on this?
I am going to do a 3 day dry fast and I was thinking of going straight into a water fast after the 3rd day? Is it okay? Or should I do 3 day dry fast and eat for a...

I am brand new to fasting. What type of water do you recommend? I have seen so many suggestions with distilled, mineral, purified, and spring. I'm pretty unsure, haha.

Or vice versa? I think I read somewhere that it might be dangerous for the human body. So, if we start a dry fast, it should remain a dry fast until you end it. Or if it's a water...

I think my body got better at generating the enzymes that convert my body fat into energy with each fast. has it gotten easier for you? if so why do you think it has?

Anyone tried dry fasting? Is it better than water fasting? Which is better for weight loss? Thanks
How about zero sugar energy drinks? As long as they have no sugar in it, fasting is not broken by drinking them?
