Congrats on the ten day fast.

I don't really see a reason to go any further than 24-36 hours for a fast since going a lot longer can basically cause hormone death. It will lower insulin resistance like nothing else though.

You guys should check out Brad Pilon's "Eat Stop Eat" (updated).

Going without water while fasting is a terrible idea for a lot of reasons. I always take a few fish oil tabs and drink as much coffee as I want if I'm fasting.

This comes off not as a fast but has a hunger strike.

Can be useful in some politicized/publicized situations.

Probably should be retitled as “fasting” to avoid confusion.

No such thing as “water” fasting i.e. conscious abstainence from drinking water.

Fasting for a day or even two is no biggie, Mormons do it frequently and they're one of the physically healthiest groups in America.

Fasting longer than that is a bad idea. You'll be cannibalizing yourself.

This toxic this and toxic that sounds like pseudoscience.

Dr Longo’s Fast Mimicking Diet might be a healthier alternative for most of the benefits (5 days @ 700 calories, low protein)

There is some science indicating fasting promotes longevity, but it's not definite.

If you decide to go this route, do it under medical supervision.

Yeah, operative word being “conscious”. You’d have to be a moron to attempt such foolishness.

I'm building up to a 10 day fast once a year. I've done a 5 day, and I'm going for a 7 day next. Well done.

Congrats I also did a 10 days water fast last month. However because I was still working out during it I supplemented my water with sodium an and potassium.
Have you come across The Snake Diet on youtube? plenty of infos on water fasting, dry fasting and ketosis.

Looked it up. The guy recommends complete fasting with no ingestion whatsoever, and salt fasting which includes potassium chloride. That shit is used in lethal injections: https://infogalactic.com/info/Potassium_chloride

I think I'll pass.

I'll vouch for the benefits, it's legit. Detoxification is bullshit but lot of medically proven health benefits to fasting.

Is this compatible with lifting?

It doesn't feel like it would be...
Click to expand...

Yup for 1 month trained 2 sessions of bjj 1 gi, 1 no-gi, then lifted right after full body every day for that month while eating every alternate day. No soreness, no negatives, lifts went up, if I needed to get shredded again would do it again.

Water fasting = Drinking only water and zero food.

Dry fasting = Zero water and zero food.

I was under the impression that 3 days without water will kill you.
Click to expand...

Yeah, half the internet screams at you, that you will die after 3 days without water. It's nonsense.

Maybe if you're an infant, a small child or spend all your days in the desert or under the hot summer sun all day, then yes you might die...but in most cases you will be fine as long as you stay at home and take it easy. How do I know this ? Cause I went 5 days and 5 nights straight with ZERO food AND ZERO water last year. Yes, no liquids for 5 days.

My advice:
If you're going to try it, have a friend/relative/girlfiend with you during the fasting to make sure you don't faint when getting up from a sitting or lying position. That's the biggest danger when doing serious fasting...hitting your head by fainting when you get up too fast. Get up as slowly as possible.

RE: 10 day water fast completed

Many people who don't know anything about fasting think that they have to eat three times a day -- and if they miss a meal they may get a heart attack and die.

When I tell them I have done 10 fasts with relative ease, their mind stretches out to beyond disbelief and its like their brain is about to shut down bc they simply cannot comprehend one can go without food for even a few hours.

Now I am saying that doing 21 - 30 day fasts with water are the norm that one must do (and many have already done) to get good results and many on this forum are having a hard to time even comprehend if that is even possible. When not only is it possible, it is the norm. Nothing special about doing a 21 - 30 day fast.
