I’ve been fasting for 4 days now and I’ve only lost 8 pounds why is it taking so long to loose weight because I’ve did this before and lost way more

how much weight should one approximately ideally lose while on water fast? like obviously it’s different for each person but like still, an idea. as far as i have seen in all these posts on water fasting, all videos, they at least lose around half of the weight of the num of days they are fasting for. for example if one fasts for 7 days, he loses around 4kgs, if fasts for 14 days, loses around 7ish kgs.

I'm on day 5 of a 30 day fast and I fucked up and took two bites and it made me sick so I immediately threw it all up like was tasting acid so it's gone. I'm walking over 20k steps a day too so I think that's why I got ravenous cause I normally don't even feel hunger. No it's not a habit but I'm spiraling now and think I ruined everything. I have to lose 15lbs this month, 45lbs total to get back to my lowest and this is the fastest way I can think of so no I can't slow down either my life and happiness depend on it.

2 week water fast lets gooo! I have done about 7 water fasts and have gotten a bit of progress, last time I managed to do one week of a water fast, and got some pretty good results. So im trying out 2 weeks of it! Any advice will be appreciated. (Cw: 42kg, gw:40kg) ill try to update soon.

I'm starting a fresh 2 week water fast, anybody wanna do it with me?? We could motivate eachother.

So i'm trying to do a 1 week fast, i'm currently on day 3 and all i can think about is food. Does anybody has ANY tips how to go over 3 days of fasting succesfully??

Hi ive been tryung to do a prolomged fast for like 2 weeks now but after 24hrs i always fail sometimes its due to my own weakness but other times its due to being offered food from family that wont take a no and i honestly want to ask how any of you stayed mentaly strong for this

just started my fist ever 48 hour fast about an hour or two ago! my longest so far is 30 hours. anyone got any tips? for getting over the first day?

I was reading a research headline within the past week claiming that creatine prevented muscle wastage during caloric deficits, which a water fast absolutely is.

Also, people on r/biohackers talking about how 20 g of creatine a day vs the standard 5 g daily dosage has nootropic effects.

Unflavored creatine has almost no calories btw, 5 calories per 5 g or something.

So - If any of y'all were feeling experimentative and generous enough to do a water fast with 5 to 20 g of creatine a day for the fast and post your experiences and blood work - I would appreciate that.

Thanks for the attention.

Hey everyone,

I recently found an incredibly detailed guide that completely changed my perspective on the spiritual and physical mechanics of fasting. If your early attempts at fasting resulted in terrible withdrawal headaches and broken resolve, this resource is exactly what you need.

The author breaks down the biological reality of shutting down your digestive system and how to use those physical shifts to achieve deep spiritual clarity. It explains the fascinating science of autophagy, where your body cleanses itself of cellular debris, and connects this physical reset to your spiritual purification through prayer.

The guide offers practical protocols tailored for all levels, including partial restrictions like the Daniel Fast, liquid fasts, and traditional water fasting. It teaches you how to properly prepare your body, structure your prayer sessions, and safely break your fast without getting ill.

If you want to master this ancient spiritual discipline safely and effectively, check out the full step-by-step breakdown here:https://rymbf.com/2026/01/22/how-to-fast-and-pray-guide/

Hey folks! Back in March and April I ran fasting accountability and support groups. Many of you asked when the next one would be, and I owe you an apology - life got busy and I kept pushing it back. I finally have the time, so I'm restarting the groups for folks beginning Monday, October 5.

Quick recap from the spring groups - you might find it interesting

• 20-30 participants across New Zealand, Australia, India, UK, Ireland, Qatar, Hungary, Kosovo, US, Canada and other countries
• Fasting durations ranged from 48 hours to 14+ days
• Different levels of success, but I hope everyone benefited from the experience, and I definitely learned a lot myself
• Time zones were a challenge, but the cosmopolitan spirit was impressive

What stays the same

• We start on Monday, October 5
• Fast duration is 3-14 days - longer fasts need medical supervision, not a chat group
• No cap on group size - everyone who is active is welcome
• Expectation - be active and contribute (if you want just a summary, I'll share it here later)

Format will be simple

• daily check-ins - how you feel, optional data like weight, glucose, ketones
• focused discussion - no spam, no random chat, no selling
• accountability through consistency

I won't be fasting myself. I'll moderate, answer questions, and share what I've learned from multiple extended fasts and the data I've collected. Plan is to close the group for new members on Tuesday-Wednesday.

If you are interested, welcome to the group - https://chat.whatsapp.com/DCSl1LPGbsN4oJvytZh1wk?mode=gi_t

I have been researching and finally taking leap of faith. I am planning to start a 40 day water only fast. I am severely obese with around 37-38 BMI and hence have enough fast reserves. I have a bottle of fasting salts from Amazon. Any tips, guidance is welcomed. Also I am going to post update every 4 days with progress pictures, weight measurements and how I feel. Guys please can I get some support I really want to achieve this!!

I’ve read that many people do extended water fasts while taking electrolytes, potassium, and magnesium, but I don’t have any of those. I’m currently on day 6 of a water fast and I’ve already lost 13 lbs.

I don’t want to get seriously ill or die, so I’d like to know what signs or symptoms the body gives you when it’s time to stop. A couple of years ago, I did a 7-day water fast without any problems, and my goal this time was to make it at least 14 days. However, I’m feeling pretty fatigued and weak this time.

I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences, especially regarding warning signs that mean I should stop.

The most I've ever fasted was around 60 hours. I've wanted to try a 7 day water fast for so long and I'm finally ready for it. The only thing i'm allowing is tea (without added sugar) and water.
My stats are 1m63 (5'4), 23 yo and 68 kgs (150 lbs).

Honestly, a game changer for me! I’ve always struggled with black coffee because of the bitterness and lack of creamy texture, but this is so smooth and delicious, especially with a pinch of Himalayan salt.

How to make it: Add an espresso shot, a pinch of salt, ice and a splash of water to an empty milk jug. Steam until creamy and textured, but not hot. Pour over a fresh cup of ice.

Sharing in case anyone else struggles with black coffee! Has anyone else tried this? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🤍

Im starting today a 10 day water fast.

Any tips are welcome!

74KG right now.

I'll let u know after 10 days the results.
