@@valerieduran5654 first week I did 5 day with a two hour read feed and a 48 hour with a one hour feed. That next week I did 2/ 48hr and 3/ 24hr. the third and final week so far I did OMAD for the seven days with one day being Carb heavy.

For maintenance at 125 pounds, I find switching my program now and then helps me a lot. Sometimes I do ADF, sometimes I’ll do OMAD followed by a 3 or 4 day fast, sometimes I’ll do carnivore, and sometimes I’ll eat some tasty healthy carbs. ..My longest fast was 7 days.
Same I do some ADF And kind of eat OMAD most days. My longest is 3 days. Well done on 7 days 👍 I want to work my way up, but have never done more than 3 days.

Almost 48 hrs into my first fast. After day one not so bad. Day two is pretty nice as well, not nearly as bad as I was dreading, stretching it to 72 hrs and eating after that.
So happy for you I love to fast it's definitely a lifestyle for me but this month I'm going to do a 90hr+ weekly for this month in April and in May I will do rolling 72s and that should put me at my goal weight I have only 30 pounds left to lose and I will do omad for maintenance fasting is definitely my lifestyle I feel great
We are already in the second quarter of the year. So I am focusing on doing 70 hour fast from April to June. I am definitely going to push myself and just stay consistent and disciplined. I control me not food.

I started with omad for 3 days and then decided on a 116hr fast that ended last night (my previous longest being 80hrs about 3 years ago) had a 3 egg chicken and veg omelette with cheese and avocado. Took me about 3 hours to finish that last night. I'm 18 hours into a 90hr fast and I've lost 16 pounds so far. I watch your videos and draw when I get fidgety and want to eat for no reason. Thank you for being an inspiration.
❤ I have been watching you off and on during your journey! Love this video. You were talking to me. I am picking up my journey today, Monday, April 1st. You're so on point! Food has been my addiction, im taking the 1st steps today. I wont be perfect but im pushing forward. You're amazing! I want to start showing for myself! Love you. I have to go back and watch your videos
Congratulations 🎊 🎊 Thank you for this and I wish I found you back in January when I was waiting for every Monday until I finally started on my dry fasting journey on Monday May 13th 2024🙏🏾
If you struggle with weekends… plan eating days for weekends. Also… you can have fat snacks if you’re struggling on your fast. Avocado is something I recommend to first time fasting clients. All the best.
Your weight is right where your body needs to be. For a 5'3" guy, small boned, with moderate muscle (I'm guessing); don't listen to the negative remarks that you should weigh more. And you do not look 43 yo. You look so much younger than that! Congrats with your fasting journey! I would love to do fasting. I can never get past the hunger in the mornings. I love coffee and breakfast first thing in the morning. Something I need to work on. On loose skin, I've watched a lot of UA-camrs that have lost wt quickly say - autophagy will eventually clean up the loose skin (and also according to jason fung).
I've found that the easiest way for me to build my fasting muscle was to keto for a few weeks beforehand, and then do a 14 day water fast. My mind had to be in the right spot. The first 14 day fast wasn't great, I needed electrolytes a lot and needed to rest, but the 2nd 14 day fast was much easier. I'm now doing 2 meals a week and working on building that muscle. It does seem easier to fast 14 days than 3.5 over and over again, but I really want this to work.
for the 30 day challenge it'd be cool to do a total weight loss for the whole community for a month. Fast however you want, post your total weight loss at the end of the month.
You are a ⭐. Hey community people, I need some guidance or advice here. I have done long hour fasts previously( around 3years back) and lost a whopping 36kgs but I gained back all of it in the last 2years- depression, anxiety etc. I have been really struggling to get back at it now. I am now married and most of the days I cook meals for my family and it gets really difficult. Is anybody in the same boat? Can anyone suggest what's the best way to stay disciplined in this scenario? How can I get back the dedication?
I have the same issue. I try to make some bulk meals. Spaghetti or chili batch proteins. I also chew gum when I am cooking so I don’t taste lol. I also make things I am not interested in eating. Lol
What an inspiration I’m glad I found you!! The longest I have fasted is 5 days and I felt great when I did it I’m ready to do it again but longer this time I need this to lose weight and great health!
Hi. Thank you for sharing your journey. I am inspired to give it one more shot. I have been a serial 'day one' faster for over 3years now. I have been extremely disappointed in myself as the weight has been piling up 😢. I pray that i stick to it this time. I need to lose at least 30kg.
Hey Jerome, I came across your YT channel a couple weeks ago. On April 8th I started eating one meal then fasting as long as I can. I’m down 14 pounds in 5 days. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re inspiring my journey.
Damn Jerome you are speaking to me 😅 I am guilty but I started on Saturday and weighed myself to affirm that I need to go on the same journey that you went on. Thank you!
I hope someone can advise…I completed my fast and sat down to eat but my body didn’t want the food. I was able to complete a parfait but only 1/2 of a shrimp taco. I tried to make the meal as low carb as possible to avoid strong hunger pangs during the next round but as a foodie I’m bothered that I didn’t enjoy my meal. Does anyone know if keeping calories lower would be okay for the next break? In case this happens again? I’m hoping that as long as I keep it 500 calories and above that wouldn’t cause any starvation mode issues. Full disclaimer: I decided to experiment with eating a low calorie snack at about 70 hours in…2 mini cucumbers with tajin and a couple of ounces of aged white cheddar, some Lily chocolate chips and a small glass of low carb wine (this was last night around 7pm). I got hungry this morning around 7am and ate at 11am. I thought this way would give me even more hours towards breaking the fast. I doubt this would have caused a problem because my body had a good 10+ hours between the snack and the actual meal.
You are incredible!!!! Love this process....this will be my lifestyle of eating until I lose 50 lbs. I just started plant base last week. I see VICTORY over dis-ease. Thank you for caring enough to share Mr Amazing. I'm starting today and I am very excited to do so.
Coming from AFiB heart failure turning 43 Friday 4/5 heart surgery question is I’m on heart medication says eat with food can I fast I feel the weight is a big factor to my death.I died on a Monday so I’m ready to start but how?
I’m a roller coaster, rolling faster 🤣 binge eater , weight watcher as in have to constantly watch my weight. it’s not normal but it works. We have to do what we have to do. All or nothing
That first person’s question felt really gross. Like, ask about the weight loss journey, not sins. It definitely felt like a thinly veiled insult. Anyway, this is one of the most inspiring videos I’ve ever seen! I really love how you took the time to show how keeping yourself accountable on the health journey benefitted you in ways of being accountable outside of that. I relate to that so hard and hopefully, I can rewire my habits as well as you have. Rooting for you!💛
May I just ask regarding your massive refeeds…. Isn’t it contrary to what is being advised ehich is to slowly refeed in order to avoid refeeding syndrome?
Lots of people don’t get “refeeding syndrome” when fasting with water & electrolytes. If you’re dry fasting, then yes, you should break that kind of fast with baking soda and some sort of juice like grape juice. Then ease into eating with broth and other none solids. This is to flush the kidneys. A dry fast is way different and is more for health than weight loss. If you’ve been fading with salt and potassium chloride, you’ll still have good HCL in your stomach, because the body uses the salt to make the hydrochloric acid.
J Man! I am happy and really excited about the new fasting routine you'll be doing with the 65's and other fasting blocks that you'll be using to see what will work for maintaining your incredible progress. Enjoy the new closer eating windows, you definitely earned it. Also, the old episodes of REFEED are really helpful and enjoyable👍🏾
Hi there! I am following both your journeys and on my second 72 rollings and you motivate me SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! Wanted to suggest something for people looking for something to carry them through fasting days, KOOL AIDE. It's old school but I order a box of the flavors I love from Amazon. MANGO! Yummy! That way you can use your own sweet stuff.
Amazing. I'm currently at 295 pounds. I have watch my weight climb like crazy and I can't seem to lose anything no matter what I do. I'm trying this. Any tips suggestions
The last 3 day fast I did, my mental clarity and how good I felt was off the charts! I train hard in the gym, in September it will be 3 years. I have a lot of muscle but still to much fat. I have food relationship issues. I always come to watch you to get motivated to fast again!
Day 1/5 of my first fast is complete . I’m doing this because although I was never considered fat I carried weight that made it hard for clothes to fit right and for me to be confident (skinny fat). I’ve been on and off a-diet since 12 and I’m 22. Food affects my mood , my money, and self esteem. So happy to have discovered you . ❤
Good on ya, Jerome. Super impressed with your discipline. I'm frustrated right now with my weight and metabolic issues and can't fathom having the ability to do what you've done. The most I've done is 36 hours. Oof, how did you get the motivation to do the first one?
I’m doing 3 days water fast 4 days of eating in a calorie deficit. I’m also trying to keep it keto. Low carb makes the cravings way less. So far it’s not that bad the cravings come at the end of the day though when I’m at home and have food in the fridge and my child has snacks around me
I think if it’s too hard for you. Have a berry and protein powder smoothie once a day. It’s low calories, maybe 300 calories. Your still gonna lose heaps of weight. If your worried you can’t work or go to the gym, just have a healthy smoothie drink before. Then just water or no calorie drinks
I started my fast on Tuesday it's been very hard but I did it. I'm 267lbs the highest weight I've ever been I've been doing alternative day fasting but failing so I thought I would try this out. Hopefully I can post a positive comment on the next live that I finally made past 24hrs.😊😊😁
@@Mel-gq4op I ended up finally being able to make it for an extended fast ot was hard but I did it. To me the first 2 to 3 days are the hardest once I'm past that it gets easier but I have a lot of weight to lose so it's perfectly safe for me to do longer fasts.
@@crystal1225ful Wow well done 👍 🎉. How many days did you do? And did you plan your food to break your fast? I cleaned out my fridge and pantry on my first day of fasting. To stay busy and too organise my meals better, when I break my fast. I’m on day 3 now. I just have to get thro tonight, then I’ll eat tomorrow night. I’ve already planned a chicken stir fry with rice and probably have French toast with no sugar ice cream 🤣 and some one or two 75 cal chocolate mouses and some potatoes with tuna sweet corn and light mayonnaise if still hungry. I really struggle at night time. But during the day , I’m fine with just coffee, water and Coke Zero. I was never a big eater during the day. But always like a big meal at night. Did the scale motivate you? I check my weight every morning, that’s my motivation. I think your right about day 2 and 3. I found it really hard last night. I hope I can just sleep tonight and not have cravings.
Jerome's achievement is truly inspiring. Such committment and discipline is impressive. Wish you well on your health journey Jerome!!! My preference is biblical fasting with prayer as a follower of Jesus Christ. That said, we should not take sin lightly or have a favourite. Instead we should ask God to help free us from gluttony and food addiction, and vanity. Having experience of all three, I'm asking Jesus to help me on my journey. He died for our sins (hence Easter), so sin is a big deal because it has serious consequences. But we can be forgiven and freed from sin if we trust our sins can be forgiven by Jesus’s sacrifice on cross and follow Jesus Christ. Pray everyone succeeds on their health journey. "For God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, so that everyone believing in Him should not perish, but should have eternal life." John 3:16
Hi how are you this seem like something I want to try I need to lose 40 to 50 pound which I struggle trying to lose this weight also having menopause which make my stomach big I refuse to go this summer being over weight lol I know you mention a friend coming from out of town and maintaining your weight why don't you lose an extra ten pounds before friend show up and maybe that would balance your weight
This is amazing thank you, what's crazy is on your refeeds you said you were eating a crazy amount of calories, so if someone were to eat less which would still make them full they would lose weight faster
@@strawberrybeach Toss that scale or don't depend on it to evaluate your success. I have a pair of skinny jeans that I can't even get up to the top of my knees. When I can zip those suckers up, I don't care what a scale would tell me. Good Luck to you!!!. Don't get discouraged. Keep trying.
@@strawberrybeachRefeed with a big steak and a big glass of raw milk then don’t eat. Eat all that in 1 to 2 hours. Don’t drag it out so that you release extra insulin. Then fast again. If you’re really heavy, do 3 days fast, refeed steak, 2 days fast, refeed steak, etc. until you get to where you’re within 10 lbs of your ideal weight. Then you can cut the fasting window down. Take long, slow walks when you’re fasting so that all of the energy from those walks comes from your body fat. Also know that if you only had one refeed meal and went back to fasting, you didn’t gain all of that weight back. It’s the body holding onto water, and sometimes it takes the body some time to recalibrate itself when you’re fasting. If you’re not eating, you’re not gaining weight even if the scale disagrees. I had one time during my first fasting session where I stayed at the same 167 lb weight for 5 days despite not eating, walking, and having good, short refeeds, but when my body recalibrated on the 6th day, I was 160 lbs. Be patient with yourself.
I’m on day 2 of a 5 day water fast. I’ve only done a two day fast before. I usually get a little cranky and anxious during a fast. My partner is traveling this week so I decided it’s the perfect time since I don’t have to worry about being cranky or irritable lol. Send good wishes please. I’m really trying to reset for health but also mentally and build self discipline.
Hi there how you doing ? I started with just omad to get going (one meal a day ) I found that doable to get started and then after getting used to that I extend it longer , if you struggle this might be the better way to go so you are not fighting yourself with straight up long fasts and then finding it to hard , hope all is well wishing you the best.👍
That can definitely be a side effect for women. There a woman that wrote a book about fasting for women, you should be able to find a video interviewing her on it if you search youtube for that
I recommend having your coffee in the morning every day you fast. If you need it like me. I have a milky coffee or a instant coffee with sugar in the morning when I fast. You will still lose heaps of weight
I just found your channel. I really appreciate everything that you bring to the table. I have fallen off the bandwagon after c@vid. I have my mind made up, and I want to be held accountable. If there is someone out there that's willing to be my partner, please let me know. I'm ready to do this.

Nice 👍 yeah that will keep you busy. enjoy your new place 😊
You look super young!
also you have to do a fast 4hour eating window 20 hour fast or 6 hour eating window 18 hour fast these two helps with tighten skin
I started with omad for 3 days and then decided on a 116hr fast that ended last night (my previous longest being 80hrs about 3 years ago) had a 3 egg chicken and veg omelette with cheese and avocado. Took me about 3 hours to finish that last night. I'm 18 hours into a 90hr fast and I've lost 16 pounds so far.
I watch your videos and draw when I get fidgety and want to eat for no reason. Thank you for being an inspiration.
❤ I have been watching you off and on during your journey! Love this video. You were talking to me. I am picking up my journey today, Monday, April 1st. You're so on point! Food has been my addiction, im taking the 1st steps today. I wont be perfect but im pushing forward. You're amazing! I want to start showing for myself! Love you. I have to go back and watch your videos
Congratulations 🎊 🎊 Thank you for this and I wish I found you back in January when I was waiting for every Monday until I finally started on my dry fasting journey on Monday May 13th 2024🙏🏾
Happy Easter no eggs for me this year i feel. great🎉
Always inspiring! Thanks for sharing the great stats! ❤
If you struggle with weekends… plan eating days for weekends. Also… you can have fat snacks if you’re struggling on your fast. Avocado is something I recommend to first time fasting clients. All the best.
Thank u for sharing your fasting and refeed journals. I feel like the refeed weight is from actually consuming food and fluids. U are my inspiration
Hey guys I used to do rolling fasts. But then I gained all back. Im still trying but I cant even go past one day. Any tips?
Look at you well done 👍💙
Your weight is right where your body needs to be. For a 5'3" guy, small boned, with moderate muscle (I'm guessing); don't listen to the negative remarks that you should weigh more. And you do not look 43 yo. You look so much younger than that! Congrats with your fasting journey! I would love to do fasting. I can never get past the hunger in the mornings. I love coffee and breakfast first thing in the morning. Something I need to work on. On loose skin, I've watched a lot of UA-camrs that have lost wt quickly say - autophagy will eventually clean up the loose skin (and also according to jason fung).
I feel rejuvenated,reborn and strong! This is my second month of fasting and I just lost 10kgs in the course💪💪
I've found that the easiest way for me to build my fasting muscle was to keto for a few weeks beforehand, and then do a 14 day water fast. My mind had to be in the right spot. The first 14 day fast wasn't great, I needed electrolytes a lot and needed to rest, but the 2nd 14 day fast was much easier. I'm now doing 2 meals a week and working on building that muscle. It does seem easier to fast 14 days than 3.5 over and over again, but I really want this to work.
I'm starting today ! 4-1-2024. How can we contact you for coaching ?
for the 30 day challenge it'd be cool to do a total weight loss for the whole community for a month. Fast however you want, post your total weight loss at the end of the month.
I love your intro showing every day of your weight loss journey ❤😊
Been on and off, today is day 1
You are a ⭐. Hey community people, I need some guidance or advice here. I have done long hour fasts previously( around 3years back) and lost a whopping 36kgs but I gained back all of it in the last 2years- depression, anxiety etc. I have been really struggling to get back at it now. I am now married and most of the days I cook meals for my family and it gets really difficult. Is anybody in the same boat? Can anyone suggest what's the best way to stay disciplined in this scenario? How can I get back the dedication?
I’m in the same boat and would love some advice/guidance too!
I have the same issue. I try to make some bulk meals. Spaghetti or chili batch proteins. I also chew gum when I am cooking so I don’t taste lol. I also make things I am not interested in eating. Lol
Same boat, mom of 3 and temptation is too much. Doing omad.. Lost 4 pounds in 3 days
What fasting app are you using?
wow no loose skin?! incredible results
What an inspiration I’m glad I found you!! The longest I have fasted is 5 days and I felt great when I did it I’m ready to do it again but longer this time I need this to lose weight and great health!
Hi. Thank you for sharing your journey. I am inspired to give it one more shot. I have been a serial 'day one' faster for over 3years now. I have been extremely disappointed in myself as the weight has been piling up 😢. I pray that i stick to it this time. I need to lose at least 30kg.
I love the stats. Keep them coming. ❤
You look so good ❤
Hey Jerome,
I came across your YT channel a couple weeks ago. On April 8th I started eating one meal then fasting as long as I can. I’m down 14 pounds in 5 days. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re inspiring my journey.
Please do Break-Fast again!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love your honesty! Thanks so much for sharing it’s helped me tremendously. 🙏🏾♥️
Damn Jerome you are speaking to me 😅 I am guilty but I started on Saturday and weighed myself to affirm that I need to go on the same journey that you went on. Thank you!
I hope someone can advise…I completed my fast and sat down to eat but my body didn’t want the food. I was able to complete a parfait but only 1/2 of a shrimp taco. I tried to make the meal as low carb as possible to avoid strong hunger pangs during the next round but as a foodie I’m bothered that I didn’t enjoy my meal. Does anyone know if keeping calories lower would be okay for the next break? In case this happens again?
I’m hoping that as long as I keep it 500 calories and above that wouldn’t cause any starvation mode issues.
Full disclaimer: I decided to experiment with eating a low calorie snack at about 70 hours in…2 mini cucumbers with tajin and a couple of ounces of aged white cheddar, some Lily chocolate chips and a small glass of low carb wine (this was last night around 7pm). I got hungry this morning around 7am and ate at 11am. I thought this way would give me even more hours towards breaking the fast. I doubt this would have caused a problem because my body had a good 10+ hours between the snack and the actual meal.
Hi! Do you have any loose skin after losing all that weight? Thanks.
You are an inspiration- please keep going .
You are incredible!!!! Love this process....this will be my lifestyle of eating until I lose 50 lbs. I just started plant base last week. I see VICTORY over dis-ease. Thank you for caring enough to share Mr Amazing. I'm starting today and I am very excited to do so.
Coming from AFiB heart failure turning 43 Friday 4/5 heart surgery question is I’m on heart medication says eat with food can I fast I feel the weight is a big factor to my death.I died on a Monday so I’m ready to start but how?
Talk to your doctor. We want you to succeed
I’m a roller coaster, rolling faster 🤣 binge eater , weight watcher as in have to constantly watch my weight. it’s not normal but it works. We have to do what we have to do. All or nothing
That first person’s question felt really gross. Like, ask about the weight loss journey, not sins. It definitely felt like a thinly veiled insult.
Anyway, this is one of the most inspiring videos I’ve ever seen! I really love how you took the time to show how keeping yourself accountable on the health journey benefitted you in ways of being accountable outside of that. I relate to that so hard and hopefully, I can rewire my habits as well as you have. Rooting for you!💛
go on a fruit fast it will tighten your skin but don't work out just go for walks if any exercise
I 'm really inspired bby your journey. I just started my fasts 2 days ago.
May I just ask regarding your massive refeeds…. Isn’t it contrary to what is being advised ehich is to slowly refeed in order to avoid refeeding syndrome?
Lots of people don’t get “refeeding syndrome” when fasting with water & electrolytes. If you’re dry fasting, then yes, you should break that kind of fast with baking soda and some sort of juice like grape juice. Then ease into eating with broth and other none solids. This is to flush the kidneys. A dry fast is way different and is more for health than weight loss. If you’ve been fading with salt and potassium chloride, you’ll still have good HCL in your stomach, because the body uses the salt to make the hydrochloric acid.
You know if you did keto with your fast your body will eat up that loose skin bro
How did you track your stats
Hey, nice! I was wondering about lose skin. You don´t post pictures of you now, without the shirt. Is it bad?
I find your videos a very good reference to watch them again!
Wow man! You absolute legend
I am currently doing a 5-2 rolling fast, and I'm down 26lbs!
J Man!
I am happy and really excited about the new fasting routine you'll be doing with the 65's and other fasting blocks that you'll be using to see what will work for maintaining your incredible progress. Enjoy the new closer eating windows, you definitely earned it.
Also, the old episodes of REFEED are really helpful and enjoyable👍🏾
Thanks Andre! I need to get on recording more episodes of REFEED 😅
Congratulations 🎉Your hard work is so inspiring.
Day 0, Age: 28, Weight: 245 LBS, Goal: 200 LBS, also to be comfortable having no shirt on.
Hi there! I am following both your journeys and on my second 72 rollings and you motivate me SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! Wanted to suggest something for people looking for something to carry them through fasting days, KOOL AIDE. It's old school but I order a box of the flavors I love from Amazon. MANGO! Yummy! That way you can use your own sweet stuff.
Amazing. I'm currently at 295 pounds. I have watch my weight climb like crazy and I can't seem to lose anything no matter what I do. I'm trying this. Any tips suggestions
👌🫡
The most amazing results video I’ve ever seen !! Loved your channel
The last 3 day fast I did, my mental clarity and how good I felt was off the charts! I train hard in the gym, in September it will be 3 years. I have a lot of muscle but still to much fat. I have food relationship issues. I always come to watch you to get motivated to fast again!
Do you lift weights while fasting??
@@asmr_reviewsyes I do
Day 1/5 of my first fast is complete . I’m doing this because although I was never considered fat I carried weight that made it hard for clothes to fit right and for me to be confident (skinny fat). I’ve been on and off a-diet since 12 and I’m 22. Food affects my mood , my money, and self esteem. So happy to have discovered you . ❤
Good on ya, Jerome. Super impressed with your discipline. I'm frustrated right now with my weight and metabolic issues and can't fathom having the ability to do what you've done. The most I've done is 36 hours. Oof, how did you get the motivation to do the first one?
I’m doing 3 days water fast 4 days of eating in a calorie deficit. I’m also trying to keep it keto. Low carb makes the cravings way less. So far it’s not that bad the cravings come at the end of the day though when I’m at home and have food in the fridge and my child has snacks around me
How much have you lost?
I’m so PROUD of you. You’re so inspiring. Keep it up you’re such an inspiration. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🙏🏽
Great video! Thanks for sharing 🎉😊!
Yes!! I’d love to be in on the fasts with you and everyone🎉❤😊
I am soooo proud of you! Keep it up and continue to smile with that warm spirit of yours!!!❤
I think if it’s too hard for you. Have a berry and protein powder smoothie once a day.
It’s low calories, maybe 300 calories. Your still gonna lose heaps of weight.
If your worried you can’t work or go to the gym, just have a healthy smoothie drink before. Then just water or no calorie drinks
I started my fast on Tuesday it's been very hard but I did it. I'm 267lbs the highest weight I've ever been I've been doing alternative day fasting but failing so I thought I would try this out. Hopefully I can post a positive comment on the next live that I finally made past 24hrs.😊😊😁
You can do it 💪.
I’m on day 2 trying for 3. I’ve never got past 3 before. I seem to feel good on day 2.
@@Mel-gq4op I ended up finally being able to make it for an extended fast ot was hard but I did it. To me the first 2 to 3 days are the hardest once I'm past that it gets easier but I have a lot of weight to lose so it's perfectly safe for me to do longer fasts.
@@Mel-gq4op thank you so can you.👍
@@crystal1225ful
Wow well done 👍 🎉. How many days did you do? And did you plan your food to break your fast?
I cleaned out my fridge and pantry on my first day of fasting. To stay busy and too organise my meals better, when I break my fast.
I’m on day 3 now. I just have to get thro tonight, then I’ll eat tomorrow night. I’ve already planned a chicken stir fry with rice and probably have French toast with no sugar ice cream 🤣 and some one or two 75 cal chocolate mouses and some potatoes with tuna sweet corn and light mayonnaise if still hungry.
I really struggle at night time. But during the day , I’m fine with just coffee, water and Coke Zero. I was never a big eater during the day. But always like a big meal at night.
Did the scale motivate you?
I check my weight every morning, that’s my motivation.
I think your right about day 2 and 3. I found it really hard last night. I hope I can just sleep tonight and not have cravings.
Thank Jerome for inspiring me
great job so far.. keep up the good work..💯
Jerome's achievement is truly inspiring. Such committment and discipline is impressive. Wish you well on your health journey Jerome!!!
My preference is biblical fasting with prayer as a follower of Jesus Christ. That said, we should not take sin lightly or have a favourite. Instead we should ask God to help free us from gluttony and food addiction, and vanity. Having experience of all three, I'm asking Jesus to help me on my journey. He died for our sins (hence Easter), so sin is a big deal because it has serious consequences. But we can be forgiven and freed from sin if we trust our sins can be forgiven by Jesus’s sacrifice on cross and follow Jesus Christ.
Pray everyone succeeds on their health journey.
"For God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, so that everyone believing in Him should not perish, but should have eternal life." John 3:16
Amen
The "what is your favorite sin" question may have been lost in translation. They gave euros so english may not be their first language.
Are you continuing with rolling fasts? To keep it off .
Hi how are you this seem like something I want to try I need to lose 40 to 50 pound which I struggle trying to lose this weight also having menopause which make my stomach big I refuse to go this summer being over weight lol I know you mention a friend coming from out of town and maintaining your weight why don't you lose an extra ten pounds before friend show up and maybe that would balance your weight
This is amazing thank you, what's crazy is on your refeeds you said you were eating a crazy amount of calories, so if someone were to eat less which would still make them full they would lose weight faster
how do you deal with metabolism slowing. i did 4 day water fast and i gained half of it bac from not even eating much
I have 0 issues with metabolism. This shouldn’t be an issue unless you’re cutting calories, not fasting.
@@FinallyFasting I fasted, how many calories did you eat during your refeed day?
@@strawberrybeach Toss that scale or don't depend on it to evaluate your success. I have a pair of skinny jeans that I can't even get up to the top of my knees. When I can zip those suckers up, I don't care what a scale would tell me. Good Luck to you!!!. Don't get discouraged. Keep trying.
@@sookigordy3936 ty!!
@@strawberrybeachRefeed with a big steak and a big glass of raw milk then don’t eat. Eat all that in 1 to 2 hours. Don’t drag it out so that you release extra insulin. Then fast again. If you’re really heavy, do 3 days fast, refeed steak, 2 days fast, refeed steak, etc. until you get to where you’re within 10 lbs of your ideal weight. Then you can cut the fasting window down. Take long, slow walks when you’re fasting so that all of the energy from those walks comes from your body fat. Also know that if you only had one refeed meal and went back to fasting, you didn’t gain all of that weight back. It’s the body holding onto water, and sometimes it takes the body some time to recalibrate itself when you’re fasting. If you’re not eating, you’re not gaining weight even if the scale disagrees. I had one time during my first fasting session where I stayed at the same 167 lb weight for 5 days despite not eating, walking, and having good, short refeeds, but when my body recalibrated on the 6th day, I was 160 lbs. Be patient with yourself.
I’m on day 2 of a 5 day water fast. I’ve only done a two day fast before. I usually get a little cranky and anxious during a fast. My partner is traveling this week so I decided it’s the perfect time since I don’t have to worry about being cranky or irritable lol. Send good wishes please. I’m really trying to reset for health but also mentally and build self discipline.
Hi there how you doing ? I started with just omad to get going (one meal a day ) I found that doable to get started and then after getting used to that I extend it longer , if you struggle this might be the better way to go so you are not fighting yourself with straight up long fasts and then finding it to hard , hope all is well wishing you the best.👍
Is that mf doom or dr doom on your arm????
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Dinosaur clothes are the best honestly. I'm a short person so can relate on everythint being long.
YES 🦖
56:00 😂😂😂😂
Wow this is so inspiring. Watching your face change with your progress is insane! Great job!!
What about woman and there periods, did any of lost or had a delay with their period ?
@dragonsun189 check out Dr Mindy. She teaches fasting according to women's hormones.
That can definitely be a side effect for women. There a woman that wrote a book about fasting for women, you should be able to find a video interviewing her on it if you search youtube for that
I recommend having your coffee in the morning every day you fast. If you need it like me.
I have a milky coffee or a instant coffee with sugar in the morning when I fast.
You will still lose heaps of weight
I have milk and sugar in my coffee and I still lose weight on my fasts. Day one usually -3 lbs and then .5-1.5 each day afterwards no exercise
@@visionsoflight2357 yeah it doesn’t make a difference. The scale still drops very quick. Too strict and depressing without coffee.
I just found your channel. I really appreciate everything that you bring to the table. I have fallen off the bandwagon after c@vid.
I have my mind made up, and I want to be held accountable. If there is someone out there that's willing to be my partner, please let me know. I'm ready to do this.
