Right now I'm on day 5 of my 10 day water only fast. I do this every year to clear out/reset my system.
This year I started doing the 6/18 and it helped a bit. I got up to 230lbs and I should be at 200 or less. Since starting the 6/18 early this year I got down to 217 and then started my fast. A big thing with all of this is just finding something that works for you. Check out this short video and how his diet works for him. |

Coffee alone won't break your fast but adding cream will break it somewhat. Not really a biggie if it's just a little cream. |

I am going 30 hours - just because of my launch time was really early this AM. So I think it's technically 29 hours if i start back at 7am'ish tomorrow. So this is fine. Good info thanks you guys.

I break my fast with my biggest meal of the day after working out fasted, that seems to be the best routine for me. Most experts say that's not ideal but it really works for me. My brain super feels sharp, my mood is fantastic and I have a ton of energy for the day with no caffeine. I work out for about 1.5 hours and then have 4 eggs with 4 OZ shredded steak and about 1/2 cup of cheddar. A little prosciutto as well on the side.
For lunch it's usually tuna or chicken, an avocado, some nuts and a skyr yogurt. A few small snacks here and there, usually around 1800 cals, 100 grams of healthy fat and 150 grams of protein. Body feels better than ever, I'm in better shape than I was in my 20s. |

How long are you fasting at a time? Also, seems so weird but an ad I saw the other day claimed Avocado toast isn't good for you, I thought that was strange. |

Avocados are pretty universally recognized as very healthy, except by those who still think all fats are bad for you. They are incredibly high in fat, so if that's something you consider unhealthy then you might want to stay away from them. |

Stop this intermittent fasting, KETO, No Bread, only bread. Whatever fad diet you're trying this week. Listen, Burn more calories than you consume in a day. PERIOD. You'll lose weight, I promise.

Not sure if you're directing this at me, but I'm doing this for other reasons. Thankfully my weight is good RN.
