I started My 21 day fast on January 5, 2020 so today is Day 3.
I am so happy to have this community, watch the live and get information from you all.
Jodiann's Fasting Journal
Welcome to our fasting community. I’m the resident “graybeard” due to the fact I’ve completed the longest water fast which was 40 days and as a result became “medication free.”
Feel free to ask any questions.
Thank you , so much . I just completed my first day and I’m so proud of myself.
I’m just completed hour 25 and I have a very long journey ahead.

You are I the right place. You have a sting mind ad you can do this!
This is so amazing!
40 Days water only?
Hero!
Thank you so much!
Thanks, but I build up my fasting muscle first. I started with 14 days to break my carb/sugar addiction, then 11 days of IF, Time Restricted Eating and OMAD, then progressively longer Water Fasts (4,5,& 7) before tackling the BIG 40.
Just remember its a journey. You’ll hit speed bumps and learn “lessons” along the way. Keep your eye on the prize and you WILL get there.
Here’s a bit of additional motivation for you:
The morning of Day 4! I got up early and met with a trainer to work out. I did an hour with lots of rest. It was good!
My body feels different but i am not able to describe how, other than i have blurred vision and a calm spirit.
Monitor your energy levels closely. Fasting by its nature is stressful for the body. Don’t overload it with the additional stress of too strenuous a .
I did an analysis of all the members who participated in the last 2 fasting challenges. #4 on reasons of failure to achieve a fasting goal was not cutting back on workouts. Check out PinkLilCar’s Daily Journal where she just completed a 7-day fast.
Personally the most strenuous exercise I did was a daily 1 to 2 mile walk. If you have any specific workout questions you ask me. I’m a former CPT with 5 years experience and held certifications with NASM, ACSM and AFAA.
Day 2 is done and I resisted temptation by lifting weights. Nothing to hard just a little resistance just to take my mind off food . C’mon day 3 I’m ready for ya
Thank you for this. I am doing light exercises but this fast was about breaking bad habits and one of these bad habits is not waking up to go to the gym. So i think doing the motions over these 3 weeks will help me.
Of course, everyone isnt the same.
Day 5 - I had a much better time at the gym than i did yesterday because i was feeling more energetic. I had 3 ounces of Coconut water because i personally believed it would not affect my results and it was a natural source of electrolytes that i lost.
My 21 days are to create new habits and break old ones and i am planning to do Keto OMAD for two months after breaking this fast.
We’re rooting for you!
Thank you so much , I cant do this alone .
72 hours in , down 11.2 pounds . Feeling a little tired but I’m happy with the progress so far .
How do you do it ?
Welcome!!! So proud of you and I hope I helped answer some of your questions about coconut water and refeed!
