Anyone want to join me for a 3 day water fast from tomorrow?

I've done it a few times and really feel I need one.

Yes but it's water weight, so it does level back out but usually a couple of lbs stay off.

It's more to get my head in the right place to carry on a steady loss.

It helps me mentally

I do a weekly fast of around 40 hours. I have dinner on Wednesday night for example, then don’t eat again until Friday lunchtime. That’s my plan this week but I might carry on until dinner. That’s as long as I can comfortable fast for. I experimented with longer fasts (my longest was 83 hours) and I just ended up feeling sick and cold.

What do you drink during fasts? I drink a lot of black tea and coffee. Especially during winter to warm me up.

Just water with some salt in.

Maybe a black tea in the evenings but I'm not a huge fan.
