Thanks! I like hearing my garage gym described as 'Hardcore'!

26 days! That's awesome. I agree the first week is the hardest. Once the body adjusts it is mostly a mental struggle for me.

Thank you!

Right! At least it gets done right in the end.

Ha! Thx!

Lets go day 7! Congrats. Good luck reaching your goal.

Yeah I have to adjust the matts every so often as is.

That is awesome! Are doing this every week? I'm currently doing alternate day fasting where I eat 1 day and fast the next and I'm loving it. 4 days is probably the sweet spot to not have any muscle loss and I bet when you eat again your body sucks up the nutrients.

lol

@@ChallengeTheory For some people that would be one-third too much. And a lot of those people expect zero regain, probably because of ignorance

@@Ross-n1i Facts! A lot of people let the scale mess with their heads. It helps if you know what to expect when starting the fast because the results are still amazing compared to a calorie deficit diet.

Good idea, I need a few more pieces to make it easier to use.

I gained back 12 lbs. within 10 days and kept off the other 20 lbs. for over 6 months. It all depends on what you do after the fast.

I agree it makes the fast harder. Next prolonged fast I plan to do it with electrolytes and I hope it is as easy as you say.

@ChallengeTheory Well you're clearly in good shape, you likely aren't nutrient deficient going into your fast so that may explain why you don't feel so horrible like I do. My diet leading up to fasts is awful lol. But yeah, now that I know to take electrolytes and salt, I'm on day 7 right now and feel as though I may as well have eaten a few hours ago.

@@richardjonas3956 I have done the same thing, I tend to over due before I start my fasts. I'm sure the electrolytes will make a big difference on my next one. That is the best when you are 7 days in and feeling great!

I choose not to take any supplements when doing a prolonged fast except electrolytes. Folic acid has 0 calories so it wouldn't break your fast but it might cause discomfort with no food in your system.

@@ChallengeTheory 😕ohh thank you so much

I don't take any vitamins when fasting. I just take electrolytes. Vitamins on an empty stomach could cause discomfort and some vitamins have calories like fish oil for example.

That's awesome! Congrats on 10 days! If you can fast for 10 days there is nothing you cant do.

LOL - nice!

Nice! 14 days is an amazing accomplishment. Any light cardio is what works best for me during a fast like walking, so swimming would be good if you keep the pace easy. Good luck.

Yeah I plan to take electrolytes on all future fasts. I could not hold water in my system, I was always thirsty. The first few days after breaking the fast are the hardest with cravings. I add back foods gradually. I started with vegetables then added boiled chicken and the next day small portion white rice and eggs and by day 3 I was back on my full healthy diet. I try to not go back to processed foods as long as I can.

On this fast I did just water. On future fasts I plan to take electrolytes, it keeps the fast safer. I've heard that 1 tbsp (14 g. sodium) baking soda a day and 1/2 tsp Nosalt (postasium) is an easy way to get the basic electrolytes you need.

@@ChallengeTheory thanks brother!

True, not eating for 21 days saves money and time.

I lost 39, gained back 12 within 10 days and kept off 20 lbs. for over 6 months. I always gain back about 1/3 of what I lose from water weight and food back in my system, this is to be expected.

I lost some muscle but it came back quickly. It took me 6 weeks to gain back the strength I lost from this fast.

@@ChallengeTheory ah mhk gotcha thanks!

So I'm not the only one, so frustrating. That is awesome that my video motivated you! Congrats on reaching your goal. Breaking the fast is such an amazing experience. Let's go!

I try to take it easy and let my body rest. I took daily 45 minutes walks.

Thank you for the comment! I would love to see your home gym video if you make one let me know. Yes bumper plates would be better if I had to be inside but for the garage the deep dish are perfect. The horse stall matts would of been no good for inside either the garage smelled like chemical fumes for months. That's cool they have an option that has already been aired out.

Some. I gained 12 lbs. back within 10 days of breaking the fast which was mostly the water weight. It took me about 6 weeks to get back my lost strength. I kept off 20lbs. of weight loss for over 6 months.

A little but I still had 20 lbs. to lose and I think the loose skin shows more the closer you get to goal weight. I did not see more loose skin because of fasting vs. the times I lost weight the traditional calorie deficit way.

@@ChallengeTheory i really wanna try the fasting but im always scared i will get loose skin especially in my abs. I have to lose 20 kg for my body weight goal😔😔😔😔😔😔

@@Bts24-M I know what you mean I was concerned about it too. If you try shorter fasts you wont have any issues. It is loosing a lot of weight quickly that can be the problem. Keep grinding!

@@ChallengeTheory thank you so much💕❤️😘

@@Bts24-M YW!

Thank you!

Congrats! That is an awesome accomplishment. I started with 3 day fasts every few weeks and eventually did longer.

It's been 2 years now since my 21-day fast and I eventually gained the weight back, but I kept 20lbs. off for over a year. It's all about what you do after the fast that matters!

@@ChallengeTheory 🤔 ...thanks. Its very true.... what to do after the fast! But is the same result, if you do little exercise every morning and eat only 1 kg grapes (OMAD) every day always at 5 pm.... for 2 month! 👍👻💒🥳

@@Szivacs Nice! It's true, you just have to find what works for you and stick with it. I love OMAD because I can still eat what I want and still lose weight if I limit my eating window.

Thanks! The other shorts if the are between 8k and 12k views earned between $1 and $3. It has to get 100k plus views to make any real money on a single short but that Million view short still gets around 5k views every 48 hours so it is still making money.

Thanks! I appreciate that.

Congrats on 10 days that is an amazing accomplishment. I had several days during my fast where I lost 0. I think that is just changes in water in the body. The body has to use something for fuel so you know the weight is coming off it just may not show every day on the scale, after a few days of 0 or .5 I would see a big drop the next day. Don't let the scale mess with you! Good luck reaching your goal!

Thanks buddy!

Thanks!

For most people but anyone interested in doing a prolonged fast should check with their Dr. first. When I first started I had issues with stomach acid and I found if I flushed out my digestive system before starting I was fine. I do this by eating just vegetables for the 3 days before the fast and I start the fast with nothing in my system.

lol

Respect, going through that 5 times! You are a beast! Good luck on #5, not that you will need it. I'm sending some positive fasting vibes your way. :)

right!

I will make an update video soon. I'm on day 5 and it is a challenge but so far I'm loving it. The weight is coming off way faster than any other diet I've done but the first week is hard to go by, I need to get 3 weeks in to give a fair assessment.

Thank you! Goggins is the man. I read his book when I was on my fast. I like to think we all have a little of that Goggins mindset in us and it is just about tapping into it.

I feel your pain brother! You still have time. I started my new ADF diet this Monday, let's make this last 3 months of 2024 count. Good luck!

You got this!! 💪

@@mamahanna1447 Thanks!

Let's go! Good luck! Stay busy, take it one day at a time, you got this. I'm sending some positive fasting vibes your way.

@@ChallengeTheory thanks man

Yes! I'm on day 3 of that exact plan. Coffee on my fasting mornings is the best, I am so productive. I just finished 2nd fasting day and I'm curious to see if the fasting days get easier in the 2nd week like they do on a prolonged fast.
