Just finished a successful 72hr water fast. Life is good, God is great and please always trust in his plan π

I felt like crying with this delicious meal that broke the fast. Thank you God
Great work π₯³π§‘
If you are interested in fasting, look into dry fasting.
I started out doing water fasts up to 17 days long. Dry fasting was a game changer for me.
The healing and spiritual effects are stronger and happen sooner ππ
Thank you
How do you manage to go that long with no water? I donβt think I could that tbh
I worked up slow, 1.5 days at first.
My max was 4 days, I had to stop because of back pain from an old injury, healing pain maybe but it was too much.
If you have enough fat, the body can burn it off to make water from the oxygen you breathe and the hydrogen in the store fat.
I was not moving much on these days either, little walks, housework and meditation mostly.
The best time for me to start was about 6h before bed.
I might try it. I feel that by drinking water, it helps me flush all toxins out of the body
Amen brother π
Yeah definitely look around some online, I already forgot most of the details about why dry fasting is the best π
Go slow and break the fast if you feel weird.
Try again some days/weeks later
It's a wonderful journey βΊοΈ
Nice work dude
Straight water? No electrolytes or anything?
Thanks brother. Straight water with some good quality salt and mineral water. Nothing else
This was one of the hardest fasts Iβve done to date ngl
Dude water fasts are no joke, Always worth it though
Fr. Iβm finding that the more fasts I do (every quarter of a year) the harder they are getting to get done. My goal is to one day do a 5 day one
That seems like a good interval for longer fasts
5 would be tough, but people have gone for as long as 40 days or more!
I always struggle with sleep that second night of a fast, and 3 days has been my longest as well. all i could think about was food and time felt like it was at quarter speed
Same here. Jesus Christ did his fast for 40 days and 40 nights
I was thinking about food approaching the third day. Really hungry and low on energy
