    Do a 24 hour water fast.

    Then do 6/18 IF

    Work your way up to a 72 hour water fast

    I do 6/18 most days. No desire to do a 72 hour water fast. Sound awful.

    I haven’t made 72. I did 48. It wasn’t bad.

    I’ve done a 72 hour fast 3 times.

    It kinda sucks, and if I didn’t have to work, wouldn’t have been able to do anything. Didn’t feel comfortable driving.

    48 was really not bad. The first day was nothing. I can do 24 now without any issue.

    I probably made it until about 54 before I gave in.

    I could do 72 but I need to be alone. With the stress of family and kids it’s ass.

    I discovered back during the Fall it’s way easier for me to just not eat than eat healthy all the time. Like I’m going to eat ****** stuff. I love food. Taking a few days off a week from eating altogether seems like a viable solution tbh. I can maintain this.

    I was eating healthy and then I’d eat an entire pizza. **** up everything.

    Now if I eat an entire pizza I just don’t eat for a day or so afterwards

    Once I got to the 55+ hour mark, things got weird. I honestly felt high, and I was making sure I was keeping my electrolytes up. Once I got to the start of that third day, I was making sure I had no other obligations. Literally as soon as I ate, the feeling went away.

    Incredible energy, I think I was sleeping like 6 hours, and waking up fully rested. Incredible alertness, all sorts of stuff. I believe everything that experience fasters say, and I absolutely see the benefits. It is just a lot of work to do it correctly, and safely.

    I can't do IF, even though I would like to. I have to stick to strict keto. If I cheat or whatever, I use it as an excuse to eat a big ass box of cookies or some other bull**** that I don't even really like. Honestly, I feel noticeably different in ketosis, enough to were I have passed up cheat days/meals because I didn't want to deal with getting back into it again.

    Nah

    actually mine seems to go up. It’s a bit sluggish at first but clears up pretty quick.

    Just can’t imagine hitting the gym on a 24+ hour fast.

    Keto use to work for me but my job is too strenuous I feel like crap and depleted all the time, on top of lifting. What did work to drop the weight and not really change what I ate was alternative 24-36 hr fasts. So Monday you eat, Tuesday do not eat till 24-36 mark, Wednesday eat, etc etc.
