11/7/2023 0 Comments 30 day water fast before and afterDay 2 was really the day where I started noticing major improvements in my mental clarity, which is one of the most fascinating things you’ll experience if you try it out yourself. During earlier fasts, this has really been when a lot of the negative side effects have started subsiding. I cannot complain at all and I didn’t really feel any negative side effects. Day 2 (48 Hour)ĭay 2 was easy this time around. Yes, apparently I had dropped more than 5 pounds in a mixture of fat, water weight and food weight. This time around, I didn’t experience any of that and was wearing my usual shorts outside in 45-50 degree weather. Besides that, on my first fast, I sat underneath 2 blankets with a sweater and pants on in 72 degrees and was freezing like crazy. Yup, I was majorly irritable the first time. However, when I just started fasting, day 1 felt like D-Day and I was probably ready to rip someone’s head off had they cut in line. Having gone through this as many times as I have, I didn’t feel any of the symptoms I felt when I just started out. Either way, I started out day 0 (8pm) at 187.4 lbs, with lots of food, water and carbs in my system. I’ve also found it vastly easier to start a fast after eating dinner, rather than eating breakfast in the morning and then fasting, at which point I will surely experience hunger later in the day. Anecdotally, I have heard people say they really start experiencing changes on day 10, which was why my initial goal was to do a 14 day fast, and why I put on enough wait to be able to sustain it for so long. I will likely do an extended one every single year, as well as some shorter ones sprinkled out throughout the year but I don’t believe there are many additional benefits going beyond 15 or so days. My dinner was at 8pm that night, and I decided to embark on what would be my longest fast so far, and probably ever to be honest. This was basically when I started my fast. This is not to be confused with people that do a 3, 5, 10 or 30 day egg fast – in this time, I only consumed coffee, water, electrolytes and one sparkling water on occasion. I didn’t notoriously take photos every day, but did still manage on several occasions. I used to crave sugar like it was a class A substance, which it honestly should be classified as, if you ask me, which I fortunately don’t anymore.Īlso, scroll down further if you want to see some of the results pictures from various times throughout the fast. On a different note, becoming fat adapted has definitely lead me to having fewer hunger cravings. Basically your body isn’t used to using fat for fuel instead of the usual glycogen, and converting over to that fuel source when you’ve been consuming an excess amount of carbs your entire life, will take time. It means that if you’re starting out, you’re probably bound to definitely feel sluggish, hungry & cold and perhaps experience other symptoms as well, as your body isn’t fat adapted (fasting may be easier for you if you’re used to a keto diet).Īccording to Healthline, it takes 4 to 12 months on a keto diet to become fat adapted, however if you’re fasting, it will happen a lot quicker as you’re not triggering any insulin response. Day-to-day experienceīeing someone who frequently fasts, I don’t really get some of the side effects that most people do when starting out (which is great) – trust me, I did have the symptoms when I initially started out. Here are the results jumping straight from the first day to the last – intrigued? Then keep on reading. I recently did a 14 day water fast, which I decided to document very thoroughly, why you’ll be able to see the weight loss before and after photos for day 3, 5, 7, 10 & 14.
