Jitsupa's Daily Journal 2021 Water Fasting

Jitsupa_Piyadit1 · January 6, 2021, 10:00am

I have been trying to do prolonged fasting many times last year and I failed. The longest fast I did was 90 hours. I find it really hear when you have people around you that food is the main part of their life.

This year 2021, I choose to be strong and fasting is the first thing I want to achieve in January 2021.

My goal is to achieve 10 days of water fasting starting from 6th January. I will extend it if I can but the minimum days is 10 days minimum.

My WHY:

Reset my system
Experience the power of manifestation
Heal my legs pain at night
Clearskin
Clarity and calmness
Improve my memories
Better sleep
Heal my food addiction
Lose body fat

I am planning to do this every quarter and regularly I am going to do IF and OMAD daily. I will not limit myself to any particular diet, but I will eat whole food, which means I will cook my own food and cut processed foods. I will allow myself to have dessert occasionally like a birthday party or any celebrations.

I am 153 cm, 5"0
My start weight: 57.6 kg. (127 lbs.)
Body fat: 33.1%

My goal weight: 50 kg. (110 lbs.)
Body fat: 28%

I am starting to do fasting today. I supposed to do it on the 3rd January 2021 after my housemate’s birthday, but something came up. I also practise yoga every morning starting on the 1st of January with my housemate.
However, the reason that my body weight is quite high after the New Year is that I had ice cream nearly every day since Christmas My usual weight is around 55 kg (121 lbs)

It’s an evening time and I feel weird about fasting.
I find it harder each time I want to fast. I have a crazy thought that I don’t want to torture myself and I supposed to eat, etc.
It’s only been 25 hours and I want to give up already
I hope I will feel better tomorrow.

Body fat: 28%

Day 1 weight: 56.1 kg. (123.6 lbs.)
Body fat: 33.0%

I broke my fast in the afternoon. I feel bad but I know that I will be attending the January 7th water fasting so I will start all over again

Jitsupa_Piyadit1 · January 9, 2021, 12:29pm

My goal weight: 50 kg. (110 lbs.)
Body fat: 28%

24 hours of fasting
Day 1 (start all over again) weight: 56.4 kg.
Body fat: 32.4%

There are a few times of the day that I tempted to eat something, but then I grabbed a cup of water instead. I am going to have a call at 8 PM and then try to go to bed early today to get through the evening.

However, it’s so weird that I have been sleeping a lot today not sure why.
Good thing is that I don’t have to work tomorrow and I can work on my side project or if I feel like sleeping, I can sleep all day.

Jitsupa_Piyadit1 · January 9, 2021, 12:28pm

My goal weight: 50 kg. (110 lbs.)
Body fat: 28%

41 hours of fasting
Day 2 weight: 55.3 kg.
Body fat: 32.4%
Have lost (from yesterday): 1.1 kg.

I understand that what I have lost today was just water weight. Today I find it easy, maybe it’s because I only do fewer activities. I forgot to mention that I practise yoga every morning around 30 minutes every day. I think it helps with my mood and emotion. I also take Biotin 10,000 mcg, Multivitamin, and vitamin D daily. I only water fasting this time though.

I still feel sleepy and want to sleep all the time. It’s a mid-day here now in Ireland. I am going to revise some knowledge of my job today.

My goal weight: 50 kg. (110 lbs.)
Body fat: 28%

64 hours of fasting
Day 3 weight: 54.7 kg.
Body fat: 32.5%
Have lost (from yesterday): 0.6 kg.

Today I find it difficult because I got dizzy in the morning, but I know it’s because my insulin dropped. However, I could still keep up with my morning routine which is yoga.

I decided to get some help by drinking the apple cider vinegar and saltwater. I also have a decaf coffee today, it makes me feel a lot better.

I look forward to the Zoom call tonight, it does really help with this time fasting

Jitsupa_Piyadit1 · January 11, 2021, 4:47pm

My goal weight: 50 kg. (110 lbs.)
Body fat: 28%

93 hours of fasting
Day 3 weight: 54.4 kg.
Body fat: 32.3%
Have lost (from yesterday): 0.3 kg.

Vitamins: Multivitamin, Vitamin D, Biotin, Magnesium.
Activities: Morning yoga (20-30mins).
Water intake: ACV+Himalayan salt, A squeeze of lemon.

I feel better today and from the metric, it looks like my fat% is starting to move. I also feel like at this stage my body has just started to use fat for the energy, and the first 3 days it was just water weight.

I aim to see my body fat to decrease to 28% or lesser. I might consider fasting longer than 7 days as planned. I will see how I feel about it first.

I miss eating but I don’t feel like it is necessary to eat. I think it is just a habit since we grew up that we always had to eat. Our mums love to feed us, eating has become a culture thing worldwide. Of course, we need to eat to survive but I don’t need that much food to survive. Most of the time I find we eat for pleasure not to survive.

I actually like day 4, it is a good day for me because I don’t feel dizzy and weak like yesterday.

However, I added a squeeze of lemon to my water just to taste something. I checked with the group and did some research, it is ok to drink it during fasting. It can be beneficial too.

My goal weight: 50 kg. (110 lbs.)
Body fat: 28%

112 hours of fasting
Day 4 weight: 54.0 kg.
Body fat: 31.9%
Have lost (from yesterday): 0.4 kg.

I am on my way to day 5, which I feel super great. I could not sleep last night though I felt like I had loads of energy. I guess it’s normal when your body starts to burn fat. I can see now that my fat% starts to move down. I don’t care so much about my weight to be honest.

I still hope though that when I achieved 10 days of fasting and I will reach my goal weight as well as the fat%

It’s halfway now, I hope I feel this way until the day 10

Jitsupa_Piyadit1 · January 13, 2021, 2:10pm

My goal weight: 50 kg. (110 lbs.)
Body fat: 28%

139 hours of fasting
Day 5-6 weight: 53.2 kg.
Body fat: 32.2%
Have lost (from yesterday): 0.8 kg.

For some reason, my body fat % has increased, but I won’t worry about it too much. I know it can be up and down, probably today I lost water weight again. I notice that usually the water weight will decrease first and then fat% will follow.
However, I feel like refeeding myself with bone broth and broccoli soup . I am not at my goal weight yet so I guess I have to be patient.

I think I need to fast for a few more days to reach my goal weight and then I can refeed.
Stay strong!

Jitsupa_Piyadit1 · January 14, 2021, 7:27am

My goal weight: 50 kg. (110 lbs.)
Body fat: 28%

144 hours of fasting and Refeeding
Day 7 weight: 52.9 kg.
Body fat: 31.8%
Have lost (from yesterday): 0.3 kg.

I refeeding yesterday after I achieved 144 hours of fasting, it’s the longest I have ever done. I am happy with what I did
My weight and body fat% are still decreasing as I ate yesterday. I think the refeeding process is very important now.
Yesterday I boiled the broccoli in bone broth, I only had a quarter portion of the broccoli and around 1 and a half boiled eggs. I felt completely full after I had the food, I think my insulin resistant is fixed.

I will continue refeeding for the next 5 days with bone broth, vegetable, and easily digested meats. I think the weight will keep going down if I eat like this and I hope I will reach my goal weight eventually.
