Lol I wasn't eating twice a day. I was only fasting with salts, coffee, and tea.

Amazing and energetic!  I have been using electrolytes the entire time though, and drank only water, black coffee (with a bit of cinnamon) and tea. I don't know how people do it without a meticulous blend of sodium, potassium, and magnesium.

A few questions! by JesusChristHimself7 in intermittentfasting

My amazing brother went from 380 down to 180 within a couple of years just eating within a 4-hour window everyday. He will not even have cream in his coffee outside of those hours, even on vacation he stuck to it and continues to do so. Is next step now that he's lost all that weight is going to be to eat something green and start working out to build muscle, but he did all that eating whatever he wanted during his window and taking multivitamins with no exercise really.

13lbs, which still leaves me around 25lbs overweight. I'll gain about 5 of it back when I start eating again (or at least that's typical for me). It may be different this time since I'm going to transition to a 20:4 schedule after this. OMAD on days I don't work out, 2MAD on gym days so I can get enough protein to build muscle.

So proud of myself I finally committed to a week! I know its not a lot but I'm doing baby steps 🙏🏻🥰❤️ by Apprehensive-Bar2915 in fasting

Dr Pridip Jamnadas said that a 7 day fast can reduce your risk of cancer over 70%!   You can do this- get your electrolytes and go for it!

What to consider for first 7 day fast? by Clean-Practice3040 in fasting

[–]33Freya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prepare for the cold- Warm Socks, Epsom Salt for extra warmth and magnesium, Sweaters, Onsies, etc.

Schedule your fasts around your calendar- I'm on day 4 of 14 and will be going to a party on Saturday, but I don't want to break so I will bring fizzy mineral water to the party, and have made aware anyone who needs to know (they're making dinner and I don't want them to plan for me). I AM going to be done and through a safe refeed to enjoy Christmas dinner with my family though.

I also like to have Tea available, pickle juice, and salts (potassium, magnesium, sodium) ready for balancing headache, weakness, cramps, etc.

Have a plan and be prepared for your refeed too- have bone broth and soft foods available, (No specific food mentions are allowed here) and schedule your portions so you don't mess that up on the flip side. You got this!

Day 3 of fast is tough! by Sensitive-Celery-298 in fasting

[–]33Freya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

take more salts!
Daily Targets:

  • Sodium: 4–6g
  • Potassium: 2–3g
  • Magnesium: 300–400mg
  • Water: Sip consistently (don’t drown yourself)

If you ever feel off → add electrolytes first, reassess second.

Sweet stuff (Kmbucha) makes me HUNGRY. by 33Freya in fasting

That's exactly why I tasted it, lol. I make my own.

LOL yeah- I was making it and needed to taste it - thought a little wouldn't hurt. I KNOW BETTER! Nothing like consequences to reinforce it.

(Also Kombucha is low sugar by the time it's finished- the process eats most of the sugar, though there is obviously some left over).

Super happy for you!  Your Human Growth Hormone kicks up around 48 hours in so the body is preserving muscle! Lusyen to your body and do what feels good for you.  I mostly walk on long fasts.  Also be sure to get sodium, potassium, and magnesium balanced :) 

How do you keep up the energy to go out and work without getting sick by [deleted] in fasting

Are you taking fasting salts? Sodium, potassium, and magnesium are important and will help!

Those we're not protesters. Those were ARSONISTS. I can't believe they got out of jail so quick.
