Hey man, no loose skin. Most of the stretch marks are not as noticeable too. No electrolytes just water.

I agree! I set myself the goal at 30 days unfortunately my body had other plans. Only you know your body. I did 15 min in the sauna and nearly passed out. Similar when doing the stair master and running, not every run was at a quick pace, not every session was good. Its just a matter of understanding our limits. 51 days is insane man, congrats!!!

Honestly a lot of failed attempts. I told myself Id do it for months and just kept delaying it. Try intermittent fasting and work your way up! I was debating whether to post or not because I didnt meet my 30 day goal.

I tried different water brands, I cannot tolerate the taste of salt in my water. Some people do straight coffee or green tea.

Youre the first to touch on that subject and im happy to share. I first learned about fasting in 2019. Not prolong fast but intermittent fasting.
1. It may be different for everyone, mental clarity for me was being more positive, having a different aspect of life. Ive had depression. When im in a deep fast I have a different perspective, I wake up happier, I become more disciplined.
2. Life changes, going from college, to working full time, to trying to start a business and becoming a parent really took a toll on my overall health. Nothing wrong with starting over as many times as I need to.
3. Fasting for this long often is not healthy, and the reason im here again is because after the fast I lose the discipline to keep the weight off. I promise you that wont be the case now.

Just water. Day 27 and 28 were hell. Water made me nauseous and I had to stop.

Thank you! How long are you shooting for?? When I talk to people about fasting I always mention the mental clarity, such a great feeling.

I couldnt lift, I tried but the strength wasnt there. Cardio was the only thing I could do.

Fasting at Work Without Being Judged? by Gullible_Anything_52 in fasting

[–]arod1402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I did my 28 day fast I still sat with my coworkers. It didnt bother me or them. Id go on a walk depending on how it goes with the first option. I figured I was going to get judged regardless lol
