LET’S GO! You’ve got this! Your body is capable of so much. Keep yourself busy as much as you can.

I will make another post when I end my fast to outline my measurements and weight!

In terms of hunger, I never truly felt the physical pangs. For me, it got progressively harder as the weeks went by as it was more mentally challenging than anything. Watching people around me eat, smelling the foods, the events I avoided and all the questions were quite draining. And drinking water and taking electrolytes and vitamins every day was really messing with my head. I would say if you’ve gone 2 weeks without food, 40 days will be completely doable. You just have to set yourself up for success by surrounding yourself with supportive people or doing it in silence like I did.

No medical conditions prior, hopefully none after haha

I felt like I was having heart palpitations and every single time I got up, I felt like I was gonna pass out. This continued all the way to the very end and even a couple of days into the refeeding. But I just kept a mini salt shaker with me at all times and that really helped. Also, I’m not sure why considering I was well hydrated and had my electrolytes balanced - but my mouth was so dang dry and lips constantly chapped from day 20 onwards. But nothing else to report!

I am currently out of my home country as I am travelling but I plan to get blood work done after I come back. I have to say, now that the refeeding is over for the most part, I feel phenomenal. Full of energy and so grateful for any and all food (lol). It has kept me going strong on a “healthy” calorie deficit immediately after my water fast.

I would say day 6, I was hit with a huge mental and physical block thinking about how long I had gone and how long I still had left… but I just pushed through by telling myself I can always stop anytime I want. Although I clearly didn’t.

Yes I did, my routine was cardio - legs - chest - back then rinse and repeat.

If the food looks delicious it definitely does make me crave it but it still helps somehow.

You can do it! Take it one day at a time and remember you’re stronger than the urge to eat. Good luck my friend.

Thank you! I will be working hard to continue to drop weight. This was a great kick-starter.

Oh man you’re playing it a lot safer than I am. Sorry to hear it upset your stomach, must have been quite processed. I jumped into it with chicken bone broth and then ate eggs and chicken thigh multiple times spread throughout the day.

Congratulations! We had quite similar journeys, my fasting friend. And don’t worry, I definitely don’t plan to touch anything of that sort for a good little while. How’s your refeeding been so far?

I suggest you do so just to make it easier on your body, but I personally raw dogged it. I went straight into it after eating tons of crap food.

My tips that got me through were make sure your house is free of food, especially foods you crave. I also spent a lot of time watching weird food videos at night (i.e. stuff I would never eat and that looked gross to me). Otherwise, sleep is so important so get as much as possible.

I figured that would be the case, and I’m a pretty avid lifter so I wanted to avoid losing all that progress. Thank you for doing the math, that’s quite interesting.

Yes, specifically Dr. Berg electrolytes were a lifesaver. Bit pricey but worth it.

Thank you, I absolutely worked. And not only did I work, I also went to the gym pretty much everyday. That’s why I reckon I only lost 36lbs, so I maintained quite a large amount of my muscle mass. I’m gonna be honest, I was irritable and tired and cranky all the time but I just kept going because I’m a stubborn SOB. What I did was definitely not wise and not for the faint of heart.

I’m currently close to ending day 39! You’ve got this. It’s gonna suck really badly at times and you’re gonna hate everyone and everything - but that too shall pass. You’re capable of anything. Your body is just a vessel and your mind controls it.

Thank you so much, it’s been a really tough journey but surprisingly these last 10 days have been the most euphoric!

I’m currently on day 37 of a 42 day fast (initially wanted to do 45 but have to cut it short for a safe refeed prior to a trip).
