This vlog shows the day before I start my 3-day (72-hour) water fast. This is part one of a series of videos about my second water fast I've done thus far. I'll be doing it alongside my husband, Greg, who is doing a 5-day water fast! Eventually I'd like to work my way up to a 5-day fast, but let's first see how this one goes! Come along for the crazy and wild fasting ride :)
Note: I've been practicing daily time-restricted feeding (TRF) also known as time-restricted eating (TRE) for the last three or four years, and now I'm getting more interested in water fasting for the health benefits (mind, body, and spirit!).
***As I'm not a doctor, I am NOT giving medical advice. I am documenting my journey on my own water fast and my husband's water fast. For medical advice and information on fasting, please seek out the advice of your medical practitioner.
For more information on fasting you can check out these resources if you're curious to learn more:
- Dr. Rhonda Patrick on fasting
- Dr. Peter Attia on intermittent fasting and time-restricted feeding/eating
- Zero App is what I use to track my fasting
If water fasting or any type of fasting (time-restricted eating, alternate day fasting, OMAD, intermittent fasting, prolonged fasting, fast-mimicking, etc.) piques your interest my recommendation is to:
- educate yourself using primary sources (i.e., Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Dr. Peter Attia)
- consult your doctor or medical practitioner to do this in a SAFE way
- remind yourself of your WHY as you're fasting :)
Note that people who have VERY LOW body fat/BMI are not recommended to do this as are people who have struggled with disordered eating.
Thanks for watching and reading this vlog and blog! I'll see you in the next one :)
🌟Sparkle strong,
