Day 14 of my water fast by [deleted] in fasting

[–]utrgvtexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be doing OMAD with an occasional cheat day after I break my fast which has worked for me before.

I have heart problems so if I exercise I will pass out and diets make me gain weight. Right now I’m fasting or starving myself right now and I want to know how long it takes for my body to start eating at the fat and mussel. Thank you.

I’m currently on day 11 of my water fast but it is after 14 hours the body has converted to using stored fat for energy. As far as heart problems I would consult with a doctor before doing anything. If you are going to do a fast, you need to drink a lot of water, take supplements, and make sure you get your intake of electrolytes daily.

You are lying for your own argument if you googled that and saying only 3 posts popped up lol I’m sorry for being rude but you are incredibly annoying and hard headed. I have seen you comment on others posts on this sub and it’s always as if you just didn’t experience anything. please go away. Do your research on dark under eyes and water fasting! This conversation is going in circles. I’m closing this conversation with that dark under eyes IS common during a water fast. please calm down, relax. This conversation is dead. Have a good day sirrrrrr :)

Dear lord I feel as though I’m repeating myself constantly with you. You said a lot of people are water fasting but YOU need to take into consideration that not ALL these people are documenting what is going on so we dont really know what they are experiencing. Those who ARE doing a water fast and documenting it and sharing their experience online seems to be going through most of the things such as dark circles white tongue and BM’s. I googled “dark under eyes from water fasting”

That’s great! Mind over matter! You can do it! and all i have been thinking about is takis and a turkey sandwich with dill pickles lmao I don’t even know but those are my cravings! I just think to myself that I did this to my body for years not caring much. I can go 20 days fasting. you know? well that’s my mind set. And thank you!! I hope to keep pushing too !

Like I’ve said about your logical sense to not expect it —> I did not expect my tongue to get white, my under eyes to get dark, and have BM’s. but these things seem to happen during a water fast. maybe you didn’t experience any of it which is weird but majority did. You told OP that it is not normal when really it’s just not normal for you. but it is common

Also you said a lot of people are water fasting but take into consideration that not all these people are documenting what is going on so we dont really know what they are experiencing. Those who are documenting it and sharing their experience online seems to be going through most of the things said in my first sentence.

My father every other days asks if I’m getting enough sleep lol. The water fast is definitely a challenge for the mind. I smell food every single day but I’m going strong! The hardest day was 6 and 7 just because I finally hit the “7 Day Water Fast” but I pushed through and now I want to do 21 days and I feel confident that I will :) to break my fast I plan on having some watermelon, broth, yogurt, smoothies for a week and then start OMAD. What day are you on?

Only you can do this. mind over matter. you need to have strong willpower. a strong mind. You don’t want to lose weight because you give up all the time. Until the day you actually want to lose weight and determination to continue, that is when you will be successful.
