My first extended fast 5 days. No coffee only drank water and electrolytes for the most part. Took my multipack vitamins daily. Had some crystal light here and there and a few nights treated myself to crystal light apple juice warmed in microwave with a splash of vanilla a little erythritol and cinnamon for a hot apple cider. I was slightly disappointed I didn’t get the ‘high’ and increased energy after day 3 that others talked about I just felt really tired and really cold the whole time. Working out and lifting weights at gym was difficult and I hardly made it through my workout last night had to cut it short. It’ll be interesting to see how much now stays off!
Lost 7 lbs & survived my 1st extended fast!

Well done. I’ve only experienced that fasting high once and it freaked me out as I felt so good it was scary

Not so much a fan myself but it’s one of the many sacrifices I’m willing to make to move the scale. I had been at a stall since the summer. One more extended fast and I’ll be at my goal weight and won’t need to do it anymore. Once I’m at goal though I will forever continue keto I feel the best I’ve ever felt on it and I’m in LOVE with the fact that I can eat real food!!

Congratulations!!!
I didn’t fast at all my first 6 months on keto but after stalling out 10 pounds from my goal weight I gave it a try in June. Took a couple of EF’s but I got the 10 pounds off and they have stayed off. I still do shorter EF’s - like skip a day of eating so that works out to a 36-40 hour fast for autophagy and if my weight starts to creep up due to carb creep or intentional higher-carb meals.

Just to add… some of my fasts the weight stayed off and some I ended up exactly where I started so gained all back I lost. I have no idea why.
