Fasting my exp /your exp

I’ve been fasting for the last month now. At first I went 6 days only water and dropped 15 lbs. then I switched to just dinner every three days and water the rest and dropped another 7.5 lbs. lately I’ve been cheating a lot so I’m not sure if it counts as fasting anymore but I’ll take 22.5 lbs in a month. Had to switch pants and belt. Any thinner and I need new underwear lol went from 205 to 182.5 lbs I’m 5’ 11”

Have you ever tried fasting? How did you like it

dude im really interested in this too, lets keep this thread going. I have tried OMAD (one meal a day) but i usually stop after a while. Can you tell me about your experiences doing more than one day. Ive only done that like once or maybe twice in my life. I want to try it again. Do you have coffee or anything when you do it?

wont i loose too much weight if i go more than one day on a consistant basis? i want to try omad but not sure i can do it without loosing too much weight or having too little energy

I would love to fast. I think it’s very beneficial to a lot of things. But my partner doesn’t agree with it and doesn’t want me to do it.

I’ve done fasting. It’s really hard!! I lost 15 pounds but then I stopped losing weight. I’ll have to fast more days.

If you’re going to fast make sure you take a good multivitamin, since you will deplete yourself otherwise.

I struggle a lot with fasting. Each year Ramadan comes I can’t fast much or I will relapse due to low blood sugar. So I give charity instead

good point @naturallycured do you have any other tips or info you can share?

I am no nutritional expert, but this sounds pretty unhealthy to me.

Last thing I’ll say is to drink plenty of water.

Losing weight with antipsychotics is really a pain in the bleep.

It’s actually quite beneficial. Search for water fasting on YouTube or the internet. If your going to do a fast longer than 3 days 2 tsp salt, potassium, and magnesium is recommended. After 2 days without food you stop getting hungry and your energy goes up. On day 4-5 I found I wasn’t feeling well but I wasn’t taking supplements, so I think that’s why.

I honestly think it’s the best way to lose weight and fat after researching and doing it.

sounds great. im not really doing it for weight loss, i dont really have a lot of excess weight, but i do want to try omad out

One meal a day is great, but if I wasn’t trying to lose weight I’d just eat whenever I wanted

yea thats true but the thing is its only one meal so youd still loose weight just more slowly and steadily

one tip i can share is to have espresso a few times through the day to keep you going

I also do OMAD and have been for the past few years. My appetite isn’t that much but I try to eat as healthy as possible. I get cravings for sugar but I’m trying to discipline myself and cut it all out. I’ve maintained my healthy weight of 164lbs for the past year and a half. I also have a lot more energy and feel healthy overall.

I also told my mom about it and since she started implementing it she has lost 30lbs and isn’t borderline diabetic anymore and the doctor took her off her medications.

Well done on the weight loss ! :flushed::slightly_smiling_face:

i fast every year for lent (one meal a day), but i only lose a couple pounds at most. tbh i feel like fasting can have a greater spiritual significance than weight-related sometimes :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:. congrats on the weight loss though!
