I’m officially starting OMAD today (sorry last minute, meant to post it last night) until the night of the 15th! If you want to join me today great! If it’s too last minute there’s always tomorrow 
My goal is to do OMAD to build up to a 7 day water fast the following week. But I don’t get too ahead of myself. I’ll post that challenge when it’s time haha
OMAD for 11 days

Hi Julia, I think those are great goals! This month I have decided to try the 5:2 fasting schedule. Eat 5 days, fast 2. My fasting days are Wednesday and Thursday. Now, the other 5 days have been almost OMAD, not on purpose though lol. Anyway, I hope someone will come in here and do OMAD with you until the 15th. If I didn’t already have my plan, I would do this with you. But what I can do, is check in with you and make sure we’re hitting our daily goals of either OMAD or a fasting window (on my non fasting days, I am doing 18:6). Good luck sweets! My next EF fast I am planning on will be in March, probably when @Compdude does his (if that is still apart of your plan Alipio?). Maybe we can do that together Julia?

@Rebecca_Hughes Yes. Here’s the overall plan I made working back from the next doctor’s appointment in June.
The Yellow sections are the 21-day water fasts. Then a 3-day transition from ketosis back to glucose burning followed by the Purple sections signaling 30-day workout phases. The last 2 sections are abbreviated to accommodate the final deadline. You can see my Project Manager personality rear its head here! LOL

Sounds good! I have my doubts of 21 full days fasting. But I’m working up to it so I’ll do the best I can! I noticed that EF impact me negatively from an academic standpoint. I’m trying to figure out how to combat that. I have no energy or mojo to do assignments. I just end up laying around watching tv waiting until the day is over. So life becomes less about living it and more about trying to waste time until the days pass by. That’s the #1 reason I fail I think. I get enough minerals and vitamins as recommended but it doesn’t help.
Woooow! You’re so put together! Love it!

Good on you for noticing that. I think it’s okay that not everybody fasts for long periods of time. I will say, the longer one works on fasts, whether it be for 16 hours, 2 days, 3 days, whatever, it does make the longer fasts easier. There are so many benefits to the shorter fasts too!

Yes that’s why I thought I could do at least 3 days but nope. It’s like my fasting muscles have gone to flab so I have to build it back up again. That’s why I’m doing OMAD to prepare for my 7 day fast.

I recommend you look to ADF (Alternate Day Fasting). Here’s a YouTuber that’s been following that approach for a year:
Hope this helps!

Hi Julia…I thought I would scroll through the challenges and see if there was one I wanted to join…and found it!
I’ve been doing OMAD since 10 days or so, and also did one 43-hour fast (it was my first fast). My goal is to do some serious fasting in the future.
Right now 7 days sounds very difficult…but I am willing to give it my all.
So I would love to join you.
