Fasting

[Dinogirl50]

Currently doing 2/3 ,24 hour fasts a week…just wondering if anyone else is and what long term benefits they have noticed ,be good to chat with others about the positives

@Dinogirl50 I’ve just done a search on Fasting and your thread came up. I’ve never used fasting until recently. I’m doing 16:8 which I know isn’t as bold as 24h fasts but I’m keen to share insights and experiences with you?

There is a Fasting board on MN

I was doing weekly 36 hour fasts amongst 16:8, and had good results from that. Fell off the wagon though and want to get back on.

I have been fasting since last February at 113kg.
Started off with 16:8 and the way started shifting but then stopped got to 108kg around July and I plateaued for ages. The past two months I've upped it to 19:5 and it's been so much better.
Weight is going again and I'm now down to 106.
I'm really enjoying it and making healthier choices because of it.
Good luck OP

36 hours? I am in awe. How do you find that?

I started on a Saturday evening after dinner. That was fine. Sunday was ok up until early evening, then all I could think about was chips!
The key is to stay distracted and busy. Oh, and drink plenty of water or green tea. Monday was great. I would feel energised. I would plan my meals for the week and go shopping without getting tempted. I felt like I could have gone longer (I sometimes did... 48 hour was my record).

I have not fasted in any form for a few months, but aim to start again next week.

Xeno wow. I felt terrible when I tried it! I will try again though at some point.

I didn’t get very far ,
holidays and a poorly dog got in the way
