Fasting can be a great way to put your body into a caloric deficit and lose weight, but you should be careful not to overdo it.
How long have you gone for with water fasting? I once did 48 hours for fun, and I never did it again. 16 is more than enough for me.
It's like an 19 hour fast if you do one meal a day and feast for 5 hours. Works for me. When I get a lot of projects going its an easy rhythm to get into. Better then the alternative which used to be 24 hr snacking until projects are done.
19 pretty regularly, longest was 72 hours
23 hr fast daily. Eat once. Embrace hunger.
Just a couple hours shy of thirty days, a few years ago. I try to do a minimum of a week every year now. I did not do it for weight loss, but to restore health. 21 days is thought to be the ultimate reset button, but once I got there I still felt good and had a lot of healing happening, so I waited until I experienced what is called "true hunger." It's a sensation that is impossible to resist, and you don't feel it in your stomach. It's like the roof of your mouth and the throat demands food.
Fasting corrected bone issues, migraines, put Lyme into remission for a good period, scars drastically reduced and improved range of motion in a joint, and most importantly I stopped getting sick. I was sick back to back for months when I finally decided to try to fast.
Can't say enough good things about fasting. It's a lost form of self care for most of the population.
3 days
I know C4 isn't water but it is zero calories.
I've done a day and a half but there's not really a good reason. Just dangerous.
Update: what do you mean? Are you saying "water fasting" is having nothing including water? Or is "water fasting" just fasting? If so, 10 days and it's not dangerous.
Water fasting means not eating or drinking anything except water.
And yeah, depending on how obese someone is, they can go for a month or longer.
