If you can make it past 72 hrs you will have accomplished NO MORE hunger pangs. Tried & true. Keep going. Doing well!! 

Thanks tinytot😊💕 I would love to go longer than 48 hours. However, my brother invited me to a BBQ tomorrow.😫 So if he's grilling ribs or chicken breast, I promised him I'd have a plate. As long as it's not hotdogs lol.😂 

Cutey, I don't fast I try to eat the "right" things and work on amounts. I pretty much eat three meals a day. I can't exercise yet because I have neuropathy and am seeing a chiropractor for that. I just wanted you to know you don't have to starve. Look up the GOLO plan online. I get a lot of recipes from there. Good luck and will check on you later! 

The longest fast I did was 72 hours last year. I did one every few months. My hair was falling out though. Still, it's fun to see how after a while, you just don't feel the need to eat. I love crushed ice. It's always been a favorite snack (seriously). 

Thanks Draglist😊 

Punky I eat healthy foods as well as portion control. I'm just fasting to keep my glucose levels low. Trust me I most definitely eat. The only thing I don't eat is white bread and sweets. Unless it's fruit, then I'm game.😋 Thanks for your concern though.😊💕 

Wow LaughingChevre! I'm sorry your hair was falling out. I've never done a 72 hour fast before. I usually just do 16:8 or a little over 36 hours. So this was a bit of a challenge for me. However, I don't plan on doing it often. Oh and I seriously love crushed ice too.😅 I can eat it all day every day. 😁 

I also do intermittent fasting, and often 24 hour fasts. I find many health benefits in it. I haven't done 72 hour fasts though, but only about 36-42. Of course there are different views for each side of the coin.... I do personally get a lot out of intermittent fasting.  

Curvaceous Cutey, I also used to fast 16-18 hours every day and at one point, I was doing a 36-hour fast every week, with the 72-hour one every 3 months. I'm not sure whether it was all the fasting or the very low-carb diet, but yes, I was losing a significant amount of hair daily. Not saying that to discourage you. I still like time-restricted feeding and do it a few times a week. I think that much, though, was too much for me. 

I know some people may lose hair during intermittent fasting if they don't get enough nutrients. I also heard long fasts (more than 36 hours) can slow the growth of hair because the body focuses it's energy elsewhere... but it also depends on what you eat when you're not fasting and what nutrients you have stored in your body. You can always work up to a comfortable amount of hours for a fast. I've been doing intermittent fasting for years and I have long thick hair. I think it depends on the person.
