I am new and inspired by all of you!

Day 14.

Morning.

Happy, productive, energetic, no problems whatsoever.

Almost didn’t sleep as had so much energy. Will try without napping today.

Weight: 84.6 kg or 187 lbs
Day 1: 95.5 or 210 lbs
Total loss in 13 days: 10.9 kg or 24 lbs.

Pretty good.

No nausea, hunger, headaches, any other symptoms.

Looking forward that this won’t change.

To be continued in the afternoon…

Afternoon.

At work, very productive, but sleepy (probably due to a forecast about a storm).

Sour taste and dry mouth returned. Not bothering me much, but still, a little uncomfortable feeling.

Peeing a lot, no BM today. Concentration is amazing. Productive.

Was waiting for that euphoria sings - maybe not for me.

To be continued in the evening…

Evening.

Still keeping up. Didn’t do much, but will continue with my renovations. Had an amazing time spent with my son teaching him piano, speaking, playing board games.

Booked trip to Cuba for the end of December. Will celebrate the end of this hell with bells and rings there!! So excited! Never been away for the New Year.

Need to survive without a vacation until that time. Moreover, it will be plenty of time to redo water fasting and to be in my best shape. So excited… God, please fulfill my dreams…don’t want neither myself nor anyone else to jinx it. So, if you’re reading this post, cross your fingers and ask Universe to fulfill my dreams. Thanks.

Sour taste is gone.
No headaches.
No nausea, heartburn, or anything else.
No back pain or other muscle cramps.
Hear is still, very thick and not falling (take biotin)
Still, can take Centrum which is odd as I could never do when wasn’t water fasting neither on 6 first days of water fast.
Hands work, no weakness, legs walk - no shacking.
Mind clear, goofy, energetic, and still pretty smart.

That’s it for today.

Last week of water fast before the refeed!

Day 15 is tomorrow!

[immkoro]

Day 15.

Weight loss is slowing down.
Just 300 g were lost since yesterday.

Weight: 84.3 kg or 185 lbs.
Day 1: 95.5 kg or 210 lbs.
Total loss in 14 days: 11.2 kg or 24 lbs

It’s just great, but maybe, I am already used to, but it seems like I am the same. I mean of course, my family notices, but it seems like I am just stuck…

During the night, slept well. No issues at all.

No any symptoms that could cause any suffering or being uncomfortable.

Today, I am on a weaker side. Energy is low. Mind is clear. Productivity is there.

Had a BM, again, watery, but feels good after.

So, will continue my work.

To be continued in the afternoon…

Afternoon.

The beginningof the afternoon: was sleepy, low energy, dragging myself through, but have to work longer for my colleague… wanted to drink Himalayan salt water, but started gagging . That saying was constantly on my mind that Alipio said, "I am not a fish ". So I imagined myself as the fish, it caused me gagging. So, I took 2 pinches and put in my mouth, drank water.

After taking the actual salt, not a salty water, felt great right away. Energy is back, but still sleepy.

Anyway, the day is almost done.

Looking forward to evening. Planning on planting some flowers for our building.

Evening.

Rained. Finished my work late. Exhausted. Don’t want to do anything. Just practiced piano with my son, lying down and watching the TV. Thanks God I don’t need to cook dinner as I cooked tons before.

Overall, not bad for 15th day of water fast.

Day 16 is tomorrow! Can’t believe it’s been so long since I ate the last meal…

Looking forward to post pictures before and after. I think, there’ll be drastic changes.

[schmidtsmia]

Congratulations! It is hard work, but it will pay off in increased health, and feeling more at home in the body. I am on day 9, and won’t get on a scale until the 21 days are done. I want to be free of the scale, which has driven me nuts, in past fasts. That is why I like looking at the results of others. I can see the direction I am going into.
Once again, well done! I hope you are proud of yourself.

[immkoro]

Thank you so much for your cheering words.

Honestly, I don’t feel proud. It’s not enough for me, even I still see the changes and a scale shows less and less.

It seems like when you do that, it’s like a new addiction

[Krista_Groskaufmane]

You should be proud of yourself, this long fast takes a lot of personal discipline, any fast dose, it is all good if you are moving towards being healthier.
I’m still not happy with where I am, but I have made progress and that is all that counts, I’m learning along the way how my body feels, how is my mental state and also my relationship with food
But love towards yourself in any size is so important, I see this journey as something positive to do for myself, not as punishment for my bad eating habits and the size I’m in at the moment. There are people who lose the extra weight but still aren’t happy with themselves for some reason, some bad emotions also contribute to the previous overeating or lack of exercise that led to weight gain.

[immkoro]

Day 16.

Morning - is not bad.

Had a BM again.
Decent energy.
No food cravings.
No pains or problems.
Slept very well accept being woken up by my pug snoring like a train

Concentration - great.
Memory - great.

Body - changed, but still, lots of work in the future.

Weight: 84kg or 185 lbs.
Day 1: 95.5 kg or 210 lbs.
Total loss in 15 days: 11.5 kg or 25 lbs.

Afternoon.

Feel great! Lots of energy, stamina, no any problems at all. But not the euphoria. I think, this time, it won’t touch me

Evening.

Still, good energy, just a dry mouth. Planned to plant flowers for the Community, went to Home Depot, bought 7 huge pots of yellow lilies, took a cab as I don’t drive, loaded, unloaded, but with rests. Survived a workout. Even I didn’t do an intense one during this water fast, I am in shape

Good to feel strong, sexy, and happy.

At the garden center, saw already men turning their heads my way, one even whistled the famous, “oh, hoo” Felt so good!!!

Yeah, momma is coming back!

Anyway, hope that I will have enough energy to plant those plants.

[immkoro]

Day 17!!!

Euphoria!!! How long I was waiting for you!!!

Now, I know how it feels. Thought it would happen earlier, but no, everything requires patience.

How I feel: jumpy, crazy, hyper, very active.

It actually started yesterday late evening. I was gardening and planting Community flowers that I invested and decided to beautify my apartment building for almost an hour! At night, around 10pm to 11pm. I could not stop! Crazy, eh?

Came home, exhausted, but took my dog for a night walk. Like what??? Yeah… that was the night. Thankfully, was able to quickly fall asleep.

Woke up again, pumped up.

Love this feeling

Weight: 83.5kg or 184 lbs
Day 1: 95.5kg or 210 lbs
Total loss in 16 days: 12 kg or 26 lbs.

Great results.

Now, when I see more obvious results and how my body changed, how I started to fit into my favourite clothes, I am proud of myself.

Will continue my work.

Update in the afternoon.

Afternoon.

Interesting thing: euphoria is slowly fading away and calmness is replacing it. Today was a crazy busy day at work, stressful as hell, but surprisingly, I was absolutely calm and peaceful. Nothing could bother me.

Mouth very often feels dry, despite the fact I already had 2 liters of water. Sometimes, it’s even hard to talk, that’s how dry it is. So, I drink, and drink, and it’s still dry… don’t know what it is.

The rest is amazing.
No hunger, no cravings, no muscle cramps or aches. Fart is normal. No BM today.

Mind is very sharp. Easy to make grand decisions and plans.

Will continue in the evening.

Evening was fine.
But…

• got dizzy a couple of times. Didn’t take Himalayan salt for the whole day as I thought I won’t needed due to feeling euphoric;
• weakness came unexpectedly and the euphoria disappeared like I never had it;
• irritability;
• BM dark, gooey, and sorry, very stinky;
• wasn’t able to do anything rather than read, meditate, and talk.

So, tomorrow is day 18. Little bit left and I will start planning my refeed. Still, so little information is out there about a proper refeed after a prolonged water fast. Guess, I have to go with my intuition and all the pretty much collected information that I found.

[Miramar]

@immkoro

Fart is normal

[schmidtsmia]

Euphoria can happen? Wow, I can barely wait. I am on day 11. I weighed about the same as you, at the beginning of my fast (93 kg.) I am gonna wait to weigh myself, until the fast is done, so I am vicariously receiving a lot of feed-back, by watching your weight come down. Wow, soon you will be under 80 kg. How tall are you? I am 165 cm. So, well done and I look forward to your next update.

[immkoro]

Good job!

I’m 164cm or 5"4’.

I’m telling you, it’s been an incredible experience!!!

[Krista_Groskaufmane]

Great job indeed😇 It’s nice to read about your day and your progress.

[immkoro]

I meant YOU are doing great job

[immkoro]

Day 18.

Morning.

Normal start of the day. Finally, I found out why I have a dry mouth and after some time, it disappears. CENTRUM!!! Woke up with normal, but right after I took the pill - boom!

It’s ok, now, I can survive and won’t continue torturing my mind with “why?” thing.

So…
Weight: 83.1kg or 183 lbs
Day 1: 95.5kg or 210 lbs
Total loss in 17 days: 12.4kg or 27 lbs

Great!

Feel good.
Loss of weight is visible.
Body is shapier
No hunger. No nausea. No headaches no anything else. Dry mouth. Already know why.

Hope to have lots of plans fulfilled.

Will continue in the afternoon.

Afternoon.

Everything is great. Hungry. Started planning my refeed - food for me is now precious. Cherish every mushroom and every tiny spinach leaf.

I know, I won’t go back to what I was before, and I know I will need more discipline for continuing KETO OMAD. But I know as well that I broke the habit of gobbling the food up and stuffing myself.

Pleasure of eating food should be based on enjoying the palate, tastes, fragrance, and not from shoving into your mouth to make your stomach hurt… those times for me are done. I have no regrets and know the mechanism of how to keep up.

Yes, I was purposely not joining any accountability groups to see if I, and only I be accountable for my actions. I think, I succeeded. I don’t need to report to anyone as I report to myself, listen to myself and make smart choices.

Will continue in the evening.

Evening

Was weak during walking my dog. Took supplements, felt better after 20 minutes. Now, I feel good. Little on a hungry side, because playing my KETO OMAD is delicious!

Finishing my day enjoying my son and talking about everything.

Day 19, welcome!

[immkoro]

Day 19!!!

Hurray!
Day 19 - alive
Weight: 82.6kg or 182 lbs
Day 1: 95.5kg or 210 lbs
Lost: 12.9kg or 28 lbs

Happy. Very happy.
Not only slept well, but feel lighter, brighter, sexier, and ALIVE!!!

No any symptoms or other concerns. Little hungry. Stomach was roaring today. Rather than that - thanks God.

Started laundry, will cook breakfast (son asked for pizza…well, from scratch is not hard.)

Then, grocery shopping, starting decluttering a storage room and preparing for painting.

Maybe, Chinese supermarket after. And hopefully, some local travel.

Hello day!!

Afternoon.

Laundry - done.
Grocery shopping - done.
Walking the dog - done.
Cooking - done (gazpacho, stew, apple and orange pie, spinach/mushroom/Philadelphia cheese/pita rolls , salad - shredded cheese/grapes/fried mushrooms.

Moving along to take out the garbage out of the storage room.

So, can’t complain.

Horsey - horse is in action!

Feel absolutely great.

Evening entry is next.

Evening.

Sent all the work…somewhere and went for a long walk. Enjoyed clouds, listened to noises, talked to my son, played games while walking. Great evening. Nothing else mattered.

Came home, still had stamina to clean the house.

Storage will be tomorrow.

Feel great! I don’t even remember when I took Himalayan salt. It seems like I really didn’t need it.

I discovered that I love more the cold water. Room temperature water makes me uncomfortable. Not nauseous, but absolutely not pleasant.

While I was cooking in the afternoon, I drank more, pretty much every 5 minutes and a lot. Maybe, because I smelled food, maybe it just triggered my thirst, I don’t know.

So, that’s it. Day 20 tomorrow!

[Compdude]

LOL “Alive!” LOL

[immkoro]

Yeah! Because my mom, brother, friends were saying that I will be hospitalized after 10 days Nope, still kicking

[immkoro]

Day 20!

Here I come!

Got out of bed - got woozy. Took (finally) Himalayan salt that I hadn’t been taking for around 2 or 3 days as I felt I didn’t need it. Took Centrum, everything is back to good.

Slept very well.
Very good feeling without a huge belly on the way!

No hunger returned. Yesterday, I felt hungry.
No muscle cramps or aches anywhere.
BM - didn’t have for 2 days which is fine with me.
Hair is not falling out at all, thank to the biotin supplement.
Boobs became smaller which will eventually come to my "peach " size.
This is the middle of my cycle and interestingly, I am not even thinking about gobbling anything while 1 month ago, I was shoving everything I could see during my ovulation.

Weight: 82.1kg or 181 lbs
Day 1: 95.5kg or 210 lbs
Total loss in 19 days: 13.4kg or 29 lbs

That’s huge for me… I was carrying that on myself… it’s sad.

Anyway. To be continued in the afternoon…

Afternoon.

Great afternoon. Started decluttering a storage room. Gosh…so many things threw away. Today will paste and hopefully, smooth out. Will start organizing little by little. I think, it will take the whole week to paint, hang shelves, wash everything and so on. The next will be the kitchen.

I love doing those things. It matches with cleansing the body.

Like my body running smoothly and like things organized.

Anyway, will rest, probably will take a power nap. After that, will continue renos as tomorrow is another work day.

Will continue in the evening.

God Jesus Christ! Don’t know from where I was getting such energy… mistery. Stamina - 100%, productivity - 100%. Was able to do so much around the apartment. Very satisfied.

Ended up exhausted, but happy.

Tomorrow is my last day of this first in a lifetime Journey. Of course, I will repeat in the nearest future, probably, after 10 days refeed.

I read and researched about how to do a proper refeed - all the information is just general, nothing specific. Some people pushing a scientific approach and trying to prove something. Some, suggest kind of real things, but still, nonsense.

So, I summarized everything from everyone. And I will do my way.

That’s concludes my 20th day.

[immkoro]

Day 21!!! Last day of my successful 1st time prolonged Journey with water fasting.

I know, it’s my lifestyle from now on and it will continue after a refeed.

So:

• Feel great!
• lots of energy;
• slept well;
• no stomach ache, no nausea, no heartburn, no dizziness, no any other symptoms;
• no muscle pains or problems;

Good mood, strong attitude.

Already started preparing for a refeed. Did cook a bone broth, but will do in the evening.

Weight: 82kg or 180 lbs
Day 1: 95.5kg or 210 lbs
Total loss in 20 days: 13.5kg or 30 lbs.
Pretty good, eh?

Afternoon went smoothly. No complaints either.

Ready to start cooking my refeed.

Evening.

Went to by everything what’s needed for a refeed.
Feel absolutely amazing!

Took the pictures and would like to post.

Here you go!!!

Refeed day 1 is tomorrow and I will post it at the Refeed rubric.

[Compdude]

Congratulations on joining the 21 Club!
