    1. Not in my book. But some people think a fast is eating less than 500 calories a day. I guess if you are a fat slob that would be a fast.

    2. It’s not fasting if you have any calories, and it’s also the difference between starvation mode and total fat burning mode.

  1. I used to do 72 hrs a month and 5 days every 3 months along with 16:8 IF. Sometimes I’d throw in a 3 day dry fast if I was staying home.

    1. ​​​@BBC12IN *Based on that question you asked, you don’t know enough about the benefits of fasting to be giving advice on it, respectfully. Your, short answer of “Yes” was irresponsible to give as a stand alone answer. A person can die of hypoglycemia fasting incorrectly while on a GLP-1.*

    2. *For the original commenter:* ​ _People on GLP-1’s “can” do “specifically modified fasts” under _*_”extreme caution”_*_ and should consult the physician that prescribed their treatment, before hand._ *-Be well✌🏿*

  2. For the past 3 months I’ve been doing 72 hrs 2x/month. Down 31 pounds. Feel like a new person. I just finished 103 hours last night. My inflamed joints don’t hurt any mores thank you Dr. Fung. You have helped me so much. Life in the Fasting Lane was really a great help too.

  3. Make sure you are taking in enough salt during longer fasts. I was also working out and it caught up to me on the last day, I had so many issues related to low sodium (I believe) but I did make it to 120 hours. Also if you really feel that bad or ill, of course you can always just break the fast, but salt will help with all symptoms….mild headaches, hunger, and any other fasting issues.

  4. Dr. Fung I did fasting and intermittent fasting religiously for years. I worked up to a 62 day water fast with electrolytes, but now my body does not like even 3 day fasts. The muscle cramps in the ribs and legs/feet are not relieved by electrolytes. Bloodwork showed that electrolytes were good. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

  5. Have done three 72 hour fasts in the last 2 months, along with tons of shorter ones. Down 33 pounds and feel great. Far easier than low calorie dieting, for me anyway.

  6. A modified fast would make it harder rather than easier for me but interesting that it could be a good tool for others.

  7. I would love to do a 3 day fast, but I always eat dinner with my family, I have young children.
    I do 18:6 & 36 hours during the week.

  8. 36 hour rolling fasts. I’m currently on my third rolling fast with 12 hours left until my refeed. My goal is to lose weight and cure my PCOS with holistic help. It can be done. Thank Dr for keeping me going. I’m reading your books ❤

  9. I’m on hour 54 of fasting. I’m posting my progress and want to see how long I can manage to without food. I’m big fat.
