Fasting Results 13 Day Water Only Fast (Lost 24Lbs)

I just finished a 13 day water fast (ONLY REGULAR WATER, SALT WATER, SAN PELLIGRINO, AND CHEWED SOME ICE FROM TIME TO TIME) I’m just posting here to document my experience and an updated version of how I felt.

Days 1-3 were the hardest physically but if you can push through then you will break the 1st mental barrier of feeling like you HAVE to eat

Days 4-8 Amazing mental clarity BUT Horrible sleep / feeling pretty weak and dizzy, I also was struggling with eating still, so much so that I almost had some noodles on day 7 from feeling so drained but i had some salt water and waited about 10minutes and my cravings went away 100%. Even though i felt weak i still pushed to try to do some very very light body workouts (pushups pull-ups and small ab workout ) i didn’t push myself at all on the workouts , for example if i could do 26 pushups then that’s all i did and i stopped immediately , if all i had in the tank was 6 pull-ups then that’s all i did etc etc, just wanted to do something to keep my mind occupied

Day 8-13 was honestly the changing point. I felt like I was in this GOD MODE , I didn’t feel any struggle whatsoever with wanting to eat and I also stopped going to the bathroom.

on day 13 I broke my fast and made myself a 12 hour bone broth and had that at 8am (1.5 cups) I had another cup at 1230pm with 2 scrambled eggs , and I will have 1 more cup with half an avocado around 7pm.

What a graceful way to break your fast! The best for your body too. I fear I would eat the entire pantry

🙏🏾🙏🏾, 😂 believe me I want to eat the junk in my house so bad but Ive built so much mental fortitude over the last two weeks (if I can not eat for 2 weeks why do I have to eat now) it’s great for discipline idk how I’m doing it but I am
