I'm doing this today,

Haven't eaten since last night and will break fast tomorrow morning with eggs and avacado.

Nothing but water today.

12.45 and only managed a litre so far but not ate anything, aiming for 2.5 litres

Why? Doesn't seem a particularly healthy thing to do.

There are many benefits to fasting. Feel free to look them up.

But this is the fasting section, so I suggest if you don't agree with it just hide the section?

I drink 2/3 litres of water on a normal day

What the water about ?

Why are you doing this? Have you done it before? Any hunger pangs? Are you doing your normal day to day stuff or have you decided to do it on day off / when day?
Can you let me know if you've lost weight or clothes feel loser

I'm not great at water, I manage about a litre a day if I'm lucky!

I do 4 litres on a normal day. You are not drinking enough water and the fast will not be beneficial

OneRingToRuleThemAll · 07/06/2023 15:24

I fast every day. 16 hours most days with a 24 hour fast twice a week. Its perfectly healthy.

Eating all day every day is unhealthy.

I have a gastric sleeve so cannot physically drink that much water in a day.

Also everything I've read in preparation says days 2/3 liters is sufficient.

Just finished my 2.5ltrs of water and going for another litre before I go to bed.

I've been doing a week of intermittent fasting. High protein and very low carb and wanted to end on a fast.

I've lost 5.5lbs since Thursday and will update my total tomorrow morning when my weeks complete.

I'll go back to high protein low carb tomorrow.

So I lost another 1.5lbs and am 7lbs down this week.

I know it's water weight, but I'm carrying on with the low cal diet and it will eventually come off properly.

Actually feeling great. Which is surprising, I thought I'd have a bad headache etc, but maybe doing the no carbs thing first helped.
