Y’all do fasting?

I’m 24 hours in. Thinking I’ll for 4-5 days, which will make it the longest fast I’ve tried so far (last one was 72 hours)

2 weeks ago I did 7 days veggie-only diet. For me it worked so much better than 3 day fast. (I can still feel positive aspects of doing it!)

- changes your relationship to hunger
- gives your body time to eat itself a little
- nice occasional challenge
- most of our ancestors used to do it
- ppl claim many health benefits but I don’t have strong beliefs on that 🤷

What are the core benefits of a 4-5 day fast?

I’ve had good experiences with intermittent fasting (16/8).

Has that happened to you? 

I plan to deadlift heavy today 🤞

I do but no longer than 30+ hours. I feel nervous working out during long fasts (don’t wanna faint upon exertion)

i prefer tre with 4h window daily, but fasting is generally a great idea to prolong life ❤️

Ramadan. Mostly for 12-14 hours but no water either.

72 hours is my longest, I typically do 18-20 daily. I used to do bi-weekly 24-36hrs fast days and haven’t been as good about that lately. I’m curious to hear how it goes 🤘

Longest I did was 7 days. 

Couple of times 3 days. 

Mostly 20 hr, every day.

I'm doing a 24h fast every Monday, almost too easy. Then intermittent fasting on non-weightlifting days. I would do a 72h fast couple times a year.
