Hi guys, i was just wondering but if i weigh 65kg, female, 163cm tall and want to loose my face fat how much weight would i have to loose whilst on a water fast?.

I’ve just completed a 48-hour water fast, which is part of a 5-day fasting journey: 3 days of dry fasting followed by 2 days of water fasting. This has been an incredible experience for me, and I wanted to share a bit about my journey and insights with this amazing community.

A Note on Dry Fasting: I would not recommend dry fasting unless you’re fully informed and confident in your health. There’s limited research on its long-term effects outside of religious practices like Ramadan (and even then, water intake is allowed at specific times). Please approach it with caution and always prioritize safety.

Breaking My Fast: I broke my fast with a simple meal: a banana, a boiled egg, and a dark chocolate drink. Keeping it light and nutrient-rich felt like the right choice to ease my body back into eating.

My Fasting Highlights: The longest fast I’ve ever completed was 14 days—7 days of pure water fasting followed by another 7 days supplemented with sodium, potassium, magnesium, black coffee, and green tea. Each fast teaches me something new, and this one was no exception.

Key Takeaways: 1. Post-Fast Eating: Transitioning back to food is just as important as the fast itself. I’ve learned that a low-carb diet post-fast helps maintain the benefits. Whole wheat bread, for instance, is filling and avoids insulin spikes. 2. Seasonal Fasting Goals: Fasting during the holiday season can be challenging but rewarding. Whether your goal is mental clarity, physical rejuvenation, or spiritual growth, the effort is worth it.

Wishing You Success! To everyone fasting this Christmas season, I wish you good luck and great results. Remember, fasting is as much about discipline and self-discovery as it is about physical health. Stay strong and listen to your body!

Let me know how your fasting journey is going—I’d love to hear about your experiences and insights!

This is my second time of my 3 day water fast ..when I did it for first time it was so hard but this time I am feeling much better but my mind keeep telling me inside just eat something...nothing will happen ....and I am romanticing food so much ...I am doing it because I want to loose my extra kilos. Moreover I am also going through so much drama ..that's why I am doing it to take control of my mind basically ...so help me please and give me some motivation to extend it for more 5 days ..I don't want to be fail. I wanna do it anyhow .

Hi there,

Did anyone do an extended water fast while on blood thinners?

My country is still pretty deep in it's "fasting is crazy, are you mad?" stage. Asking my doctor about anything related to fasting or even keto/low-carb is therefore pointless.

I'm obvioisly not asking for any medical advice. Just if anybody has had any experiences and/or successfully water fasted while on blood thinners.

Am water fasting for weight loss, and I was wondering at what weight should I stop at? I know once you get to lower body fat percentages, it gets dangerous and you lose muscle. That is why body builders don’t fast.

The healthy weight for my height is 128-156lbs according to Google. Should I stop at 128? 140? 156? 170?

Thanks all!

Heyy guys, so I am putting this here to hold myself accountable. I am tired and frustrated with myself for being in this roller coaster the better part of this year. I started the fast yesterday but broke it again today. I will be fasting till Thursday the 19th of December. It's time I took control of my life and stop putting it on hold. My stats are 5"2 f cw 86. 3kg gw after the first is 75kg but ultimate gw is 68kg. I will be updating here atleaast everyday . I was so afraid of writing and posting this but it's time.

Restarting 50 day water fast after i failed the other one. If you want to fast with me or see my updates private message me I won't be posting much on here.

CW is 213

GW is 175

height 194cm

Hello! I'm starting a new water fast cycle.

I usually do 6 days water fasting, often loosing 8-10kgs in those days (14 to 22 lbs)

I'm 29, male, 6ft 3 (1.88)

Thing is I'm a little bit too confortable with those results, and don't change my habits, plus that I get depression often and handle that with food.

But, things are getting better. Now I'm at 260lbs, being 198lbs my weight goal in about 6 months.

I want to make a longer water fast now, 10 to 15. If I usuall got to loss 20lbs and after that keep 14-16lbs lost(after eating again) I think a 10 to 15 water fast could give me a little more hope

With all of that, I never ever, used vitamins during water fastings, only a pinch of salt on the 4th day and on.

But, I can't deny that during day 5 and 6 I usually feel a little bad, muscle cramps, feeling a little bit dizzy, but not the end of the world

So I plan to make this water fasting using a multi vitamin.

Not a strong one, just a regular one, 1 pill a day(it even says on label to better take WITHOUT foods for a better iron absortion) so, it's not one of those that you need to take with foods and stuff like that

Any suggestions?

Do melatonin gummies break a water fast? im not eating anything else but i absolutely need to eat these melatonin gummies or i cant sleep at all. Thanks!

I lost 52 pounds last time I water fasted. It was 41 days. I went from 219 to 167. I'm 5'7 female for reference. Gained it all back and then some over a short period of time because of some very stressful events at work. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Superrrr disappointed in myself about that.

I'm starting all over, today's day 1. I'm in school now, in an accelerated program so idk how this is gonna go but I'm going to try my best. If anyone has tips about fasting while in school and actually needing to use ur brain...lol...I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm taking electrolytes and a multi vitamin, plus taking in table salt as needed.

I have no problem not eating during the day but become ravenous at night, especially if I worked out that day. Any tips on how you get through these moments ?

Today I started my 41 days fast. Fasting until my birthday to lose some weight for a cruise I'm going on. I am 5'7" Currently I weigh 185.3 My goal is 140 I've been fairly fit my whole life but after a knee injury about 6 months ago I shot up to 220 and I've been doing short fasts. This is my first long one. If anyone can link me any supplements/ electrolytes they use id love to give them a shot. Thanks y'all on advance!

How do you guys handle water fasting for over a week? Im fighting my mind every hour about breaking early. Its been a full 24 hours since my last meal thus far. Im looking forward to completing all 3 days of my fast.

Please explain to me the benefits you have experienced in a proper water fast versus dirty fasting!

I would appreciate your thoughts on this guys. Helps keep me motivated too!

Almost there ! Hope everyone is doing well !

I failed the 50 day water fast challenge on day 29, so I'll just answer the questions ive been getting asked here.

How much water did you drink a day?

i drank 3 liters of water a day sometimes i added lemon in there

What electrolytes did you use?

I bought relyte hydration mix from amazon cost me 43$ i also bought no sugar hydration Powder cost 21$

How did you feel the first week ?

first week was hard, i tried my hardest to fight the hunger and just distract myself by doing my exams. One thing i did the most was meditate. I also went on walks and did light lifting but i stoPPed cause working out made me hungry lol

How much weight did you lose ?

started at 277 when i was doing 35 day water fast when i finished that i was at 234. Now after failing this fast at day 29 im 213ibs

What did you eat after your fast ?

I ate chicken broth, watermelon, little bit of rice, 4 eggs,yogurt, and my mom cooked seghetti so that too. And i didnt eat all this at once lol i ate it throughout the day.

34f, 160cm, 62.7kg, 33% body fat. Looking for suggestions on what would be the longest water fast I can safely go on. Multiple short fasts are difficult due to work and family obligations. But I will have a few months next year and wish to do a deep cleanse as I've been having issues with inflammation for the past year. Longest water fast I've ever completed is 14days. I've also tried 3,5,7 day water fasts over the years.

what foods are recommended to safely break a multi-day fast?

Hey everyone,

So here’s the thing—I recently joined a WhatsApp group for water fasting, and it turned out to be an all-girls group. Nothing against that, but I thought, why not create something where everyone can join and share their journey?

I’m planning to start a 28-day water fast on November 22, and honestly, I know how hard it can be to stay motivated when you’re doing this alone. That’s why I want to set up a gender-inclusive group where we can all:

Share how we’re doing (good days and the rough ones) Learn from each other’s experiences Just feel like we’re not in this alone

If this sounds like something you’d want to be a part of, here’s the link to join the group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/Jx6d7jxzbUb1RPbATSXiHx

Can’t wait to hear your stories and share mine too.

Let’s go!

Finally feels like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel 😮‍💨 still got a little ways to go but I honestly wasn’t sure I’d make it this far.

If you’re getting bored or thinking about giving up just keep pushing forward.

I downloaded Easy Fast seeing people on Reddit use for their fasting. My experience is with liquid for a week and dropping 8lbs a year ago.

Is there any advice tips anyone can give me as a beginner? It’s highly appreciated.

feeling great so far, and i’m proud to hit this milestone. anyone else here fasting? how’s it going for you?

Hey everyone,

I’ve decided to embark on a 42-day water fast, and I wanted to share my journey here for accountability and support. My current weight is 120kg (166cm tall), and this is part of a bigger goal to reset my body and mind in time for 2025

I’ve done my research and I know it’s going to be challenging, but I’m motivated to see it through.

I’ll be sharing updates along the way, and I’d love to hear from anyone who has done something similar or has tips for long-term fasting.

So on 3rd day I feel extreme low energy but now feel bit good. Also I'm having acid reflux sometimes today only.(I've acidity problem). Anyone of you also faced this thing and what did you do to stay on fast.

Literally watching competitive eating, pvf, and any food content has been helping me push through I don’t know what it is about it.

Day 16 almost complete

I have tried water fast before. My record is only 3 days. The main reason for breaking the fast is boredom.

I don't go out that much. I'm new in town, I live in the suburbs and there is not much to do here. Every other month I go to my hometown where all my friends live and there it is "impossible" to do a water fast. But here, in this town, where I'm all by myself, I have all the opportunity to do it... except that I'm bored as hell.

Is anybody in a similar situation? What do you do to entertain yourself? Some ideas:

• Work
• Learn things on learning websites
• Video Games
• Learn piano
• Gym (low intensity)
• Toast Masters
• Meditation Center

Anything else that can keep me distracted from boredom, which makes me eat at the end?

On my day 1

As for now my current weight is 89.8kg (168cm) and I'll be in my best mindset (I hope) to retry this attempt. But I need some recommendations for my daily exercises.

My target is to reach under 75kg by the end of the year. Currently my daily exercise includes min. 4km walk/jog and whole body stretch with occasional meditation. So far I can confirm that I lose estimated 0.3 - 0.5 KG daily depending on the extra walk/jog.

Is this routine perfect for me or is there any extra exercises or something to boost this attempt success rate?

P.s thanks for the anon who recommended me to break my fast by eating fruit and fibers. My bowel can't tank you enough. 😅7
