I can OMAD, and do a 24 hr no problem, but three days is beyond me at the moment.
Good luck!

I heard her on Stephen Bartlett's podcast and I thought she sounded v convincing. But I just couldn't face 3 days of it myself.

I’m currently doing a 24hr. To build myself up… but I can’t sleep!!!

How did it go?

How did it go?

Are you asking me?

It was okay thanks!… Despite struggling to sleep! But the next day was easy and I broke my fast with chicken breast, which was fine! But I may have eaten too much too quickly as I felt uncomfortably full, like tight!

I did the 3 day fast. Felt great after it but disappointed as I haven't lost any weight...
Will do a 24 hour fast tomorrow. Hopefully the extra pounds will start to move soon.
Love Dr Mandy's videos & Dr Eric Berg.

That’s good that you felt great! Is it the 1st time you have done a longer fast?… Maybe see it as a gut reset and hope the pounds drop next time?

oOmoonhaOo · 19/01/2024 19:15

I started a 3 day fast today.. at half 4. I figured the weather’s shot this weekend so unlikely to be as active as normal. So seemed a good time!

It’s my birthday on Tues so will break it Mon eve.

Wish me luck!
