My new year's resolution this year was to really push myself to do ONE thing each month that takes me out of my comfort zone and for January that happened to be a 7-day water fast. 😊
Love the video ! It’s my 2nd day of the 7 days fasting now 😝 feeling weak… will going to have add the non salt and baking soda into my water … could you please let me know the ratio again.. was it one liter of water 1/2 tea spoon of the non salt & 1 tea spoon (not table spoon) of the soda ?
@@jessieliu7954 oh amazing if I remember rightly saying 2/3 were the hardest for me so stay strong 💪🏼 yes it’s was one litre of water 1/2 tsp no salt 1 tsp of baking soda 😀
@@PeteOnPurpose thank you very much for the reply ! 😀 today is my third day , feeling much better and stronger … looking forward to experience the following few days 😊😊
Today is day 1 for me 9 left! Y'all pray for me 🙏 it's been really hard. It's also day 1 of being sober I've smoked weed for years it's going to be extremely hard but I got this!.
@@viper.9756 Actually it's a good method and fasting gives you the clarity of mind and realization of your own power of self -control to quit all addictions.
This is day 3 of 14 days fast. I won’t force my body but I will push until my hunger strikes back up. I have fasted in the past and I can tell you the benefits are real 🎉.
I am on day 6 of 21 day water fast, I am doing this for weight loss. So far, i have lost 11 pounds, and quite happy with the results :D Your video is definitely helpful and gave motivation :)
I am at 68 hours of a 7 day. Day one was pretty easy because I fast for 36 hours twice a month. But the last 24 hours have been rough. Watching your video really was inspiring! I am fasting to deal with my obsessive eating which I feel is separating me from God. I also have hella insulin resistance. Good news today was my glucose was at 77 and my ketones at 3.6. Both better than I have ever had!
That first meal is wild because you don't need much and the flavors are very enjoyable but our portion sizes go down due to stomach retracting. @@PeteOnPurpose
Also, my biggest tip for fasting would be to keep yourself busy so then you won't think about food. I've seen people run to the snack pantry as soon as they get bored. Other than that, good tips.
"Hunger" definitely is usually boredom, that's probably the biggest lesson I learned from this fast was that I am actually never hungry as even after seven days i wasn't truly hungry which is an incredible thought. A lot of hunger is just habit e.g we usually eat lunch at 11 so our body is like hey we normally eat now. After two days you honestly don't even really experience hunger however the body starts to get tired easily. Have you ever experimented with fasting? Probably impossible with endurance sports though I follow Erik the Electrik and he races fasted and eats a huge meal afterwards.
@@PeteOnPurpose I also follow Erik the Electric. In fact, he's one of my biggest inspirations (though, I'm obviously not at his level). I also do my long training session fasted first thing in the morning and then eat big meals later. So yes, I have experimented many times with fasting. I typically fast the entire morning after a cheat day because I'm not that hungry after consuming all that food the day before. In fact, last Sunday, I didn't eat like until 3PM because I completed a 20k calorie challenge the day before; thus, for the vast majority of that day, I was not even remotely hungry. Though, I never went an entire day without eating anything.
@@giuseppeferrara952 Yes Erik is the man and is so impressive how much he seems to give everything he does, eating, training, triathlons complete machine. 20,000 calorie challenge you're an animal the thought of eating anything over 10,000 calories gives me nightmares. 😂
@@PeteOnPurpose I'll admit that the 20k almost killed me haha. Unfortunately, I can't eat 20k in one sitting like Erik can; he's literally an eating machine. I definitely dont recommend doing what I did last saturday, not even myself. I just wanted to do it one time to test myself.
@@giuseppeferrara952 yes he is a eating machine that’s for sure. I get you with wanting to test yourself as that’s what I was like with the 10k, trying to eat when your at capacity is such a strange feeling that I reckon most people don’t experience as you literally have ti force yourself to that stage but fun to try everything 😅
He actually did it! Great job, brother. Perhaps one day I’ll try one. Again, the longest I’ve ever fasted is about 24 hrs. I’m definitely one of those who fears the muscle loss situation, though it was nice to see how little muscle you lost. Also, much respect for your desire to dive into spiritual fitness. The mind is so key (If that even needed to be stated 🤣) but it is often neglected in the fitness process…
Cheers mate, definitely was a challenge that I learned a lot from. Yes fitness is funny as so much is focused on the physical appearance but as I get older I am more concerned with mobility and feeling good on the inside, whilst also looking good obviously. 😂
That's the great thing about fasting. It puts you in a state of ketosis wherein the body prioritizes fat burn over muscle. Youll still always lose a tiny bit (hence why body builders dont do it) but its still very effective for targeting fat over muscle
No real muscle loss, if your worried i'd hit the weights but at around 85% since you won't have as much energy. When you hit the weights it tells the body that it needs to preserve it's muscle and it's strength and it will rip harder from the body fat stores. Any "muscle shrinkeage" in the short term is due to glycogen and it comes back when you get carbs in you.
I did an 8 day Water Fast. Then immediately started no carb "under 10 grams a day" healthy eating. Ketosis! While only drinking water all this time. Lots of water, about 3/4 gallon everyday. In 10 weeks since I started the 8 day Water Fast, I've lost 50 lbs. in 10 weeks. 60 yr old male at 6 ft. tall and was 250 lbs. Now?? 200 lbs. Goal? 183 lbs. and join a gym to lift weights to do a final body tone/shape.
Thank so much LT! Your fasting video is what inspired me to give this a go as you didn’t lose any muscle which was my main concern in doing a longer fast. Good luck with your 5 days I don’t think if I will be doing another long fast anytime soon. 😅
@@LauraTryUK I’ve actually just started back at the gym this week and my compound lifts are as good and some even better than they were before. I honestly feel like I lost no muscle or strength during the fast or at the most very minimal amounts which is mind blowing to me.
1. Coffee + electrolytes. (I still chew tobacco) 2. Omad 3. Coconut oil - when feel like giving in… 4. Carry the fast & skip the omad till next day. 5. Repeat. Don’t go too fast 12hr-18hr-24hr->
Excellent 7-day fast experience! I love salt water when I fasting; I add thyme and it's like having a turkey dinner, LOL! Speaking of salt, Celtic sea salt is "whole salt" meaning all the minerals we're supposed to have _with_ NaCl haven't been stripped away and the sodium does even more good for your body working synergistically with the trace minerals...heads up!
Awesome video! I am on day 4 of my 7 day water fast. I love your editing, I'm stealing some of your techniques! You have set the bar on a 7 day fasting video. Best one I've seen. Until I make mine in a few weeks!
Crazy thing is, you are right that eating isn't so much about sustenance but more habits I remember being close to 48 hours of fasting and felt great, but decided to eat
Thank you so much, muscle loss really isn’t anything to worry about as soon as you start eating and working out it will come straight back. Good luck and enjoy the journey 😀
Iirc, the actual muscle fibres that you grow when building muscle are still 'there' albeit in a depleted state so it is literally easier to build 'back' the muscles than to build them initially.
Great video bud! Very detailed and you feeling cold all the time immediately brought me back and made me remember when I did a bodybuilding competition. The last month of cutting I remember being cold constantly ha ha.
Your video is very detailed. The best one so far. Today is day 2 of my water fast and im excited to finish my 7days fast. I truly appreciate your detailed video it is so helpful ❤
Very enjoyable video, helping me keep motivated. I'm on day 5 out of 5, just hours away from my goal. Extremely pleased with managing to go through an entire work week with decent energy. Working with concrete, so it's physical.
@@PeteOnPurpose Cheers, was a cool experience I've always been a bit curious on. Was easier than I thought, but it sure was a bit dull, espcially on the evenings. All you want to is the time to go by and watch some series and sleep. Done now and enjoying some broth, a carrot and a pretzel :D
Great video and very useful. I do 16/8 plus 24 hr on Saturdays on a whole food plant diet and kicking off a 7 day start of the month. Slightly apprehensive.
Congratulations on completing your fast and on your amazing results! I have a question: did you notice any hair loss after the fast? I've heard that this could be an issue. I have done several 5-day water fasts, and I've never experienced any hair loss but now I would like to do a longer one (2 or 3 weeks, not for weight loss but for spiritual reasons) and hair loss is any concern. Thanks!
Hey Pete! Loved your video. The longest I’ve fasted so far is for 3 days. I’ve been thinking of trying a 7 day water fast and your video was very helpful. I was wondering if you gained some of the weight back after a couple of days or weeks. Also how many days did you take to slowly come back to your regular eating schedule? Or did you do it immediately?
Hi there, I think I answered all of these questions in this video, my 3 week later update. I hope that helps. 😊 th-cam.com/video/cHAvmZBWDao/w-d-xo.html
I'm on my 3rd day out of 7. This is my first real fast. I did a 4 day fast a few years ago but I cheated a bit. I feel quite good right now. I do it for weight loss and to heal my gut.
Day 3/4 were the toughest days for me its when your body is switching over to ketosis so it can be quite a tough transition, just take it easy once you're in ketosis you don't feel hunger anymore.
@@PeteOnPurpose to be fair I feel better than I thought I would, just sleep is a slight issue and my senses have increased dramatically. I feel food is advertised too much lol
@@daftjedi5328 Yes I really struggled to sleep the first few nights too and I think it was because my senses were so heightened everything was waking me up. However, I also felt not too tired and that my sleep was really deep. Yes you definitely notice food everywhere which is why i cleared out my fridge. 😂
@@daftjedi5328 4 days is fantastic and a good call stopping the fast if you feel dizzy that's probably a sign to stop. I'm sure your food craving and appetite have been reduced also. 😊
I stopped eating and smoking 8 days ago. Did not notice any bad side effects or withdrawals, going for 2 weeks and then we will see. It's actually really easy.
What a great video! Very very inspiring. I have been wanting to do something like this, after some short fasting and I think your tips will be useful. Thank you for sharing it!
Thank you for ypur inspired result Last week i tried 7 day fasting with running 100 km. The result was be like shocked i didn't lose muscle at all but body fat gone like 5 % and very sharp mind focus.
Congrats! Started my 7 days fast this morning. Not new to fasting but been struggling lately… So thank you for your video.. Looking forward to the results body, mind & spirit. Also downloaded the LIFE app, love it so far.
@@PeteOnPurposeThank you!!! My longest was 40 days.. It takes quite the will power but it is sooo worth it! The mental and spiritual clarity is beyond and your body goes through quite the transformation! My goal with this 7 days is to reset and rebuild better eating habits.
It should be stressed, overstressed even to take enough days to refeed. You shutdown much of your digestive functions, the last thing you want is to shock your system that you have severe complications and not see the next day. The consensus seems to eat or drink bone broth to get your body ready for food, everyones body varies but a 7 day fast is a 2-4 day refeed depending on the person. If you frequently do long fast then obviously your body will be more adapted to eating sooner than later. As for the working out comprehend going in you will not build any muscle youre simply negating atrophy. Once you start to eat again intermittent fasting 16/8, OMAD or OMEOD and hard workouts will easily build the muscle you want. Good look to all, enjoy your new you.
I’m on day 1. Of course New Years is coming up and I think my girl wants to go on a date this weekend so we’ll see how that goes but imma stick it out day by day till I get the results I want.
Cheers matey, I don't think I'm interesting enough for a live stream and whos going to edit out all my 'ums' 'aaass' and 5 minute long pauses while I think of something funny to say? 😂
@@PeteOnPurpose that's the beauty of it. There is no editing! I think you're plenty interesting enough. And there will be no pauses because we will be on together. Much easier than hosting your first stream alone because you have someone to keep the ball rolling at all times. You should really consider it, my friend. Especially with your audience, I believe a livestream of you and I discussing our differing perspectives on training would be beneficial to both of us!
Hi man, I’m starting this today but I was just wondering when it comes to the meal at the end of the time, does it have to be a smoothie n bone broth? Could you recommend anything for someone who isn’t keen on fruits 🤣🤣 thanks 🙏🏻
Hey, bud, I am not an expert but I would assume anything that is easily digestible is probably best. However, I have seen people break 7-day fasts with burgers and chips so I don't know how serious it really is? I would say just listen to your body at the end of the fast I just couldn't wait to have a smoothie. How are you getting on you must be reaching ketosis by now?
You could try scrambled eggs to break the fast, then an hour or two later, you can eat more of a meal, such as steak. If high insulin is a problem for you, the last thing you want to break a fast with is fruit/juice/smoothie. You’ve just lowered your insulin through fasting, you’re super sensitive, and you eat/drink something that’s known for spiking insulin… not a good idea.
Starting a 3 day fast today! But I’m a teenager who also works out every week. I’m interested in the fast to see if I have enough self control to restrict eating for a little bit but I was wondering if me working out like weight training,calisthenics or cardio would be bad to do during a 3 day (or longer) fast?
Great job! I'm trying but sometimes i crave on the first day & eat a small bit of food....i do customer service on the phone ...so can get so hard 😬 ...i know that slow feeling it sucks! The longest i went was 5 days 🙂 feels great when u make it🙂 ...im practicing fasting more
45 hours in. Feeling okay, but just bored! I’m finding that the hardest. Hunger comes in waves, whenever it happens I smash a pint of water and feel much better. I’ve attempted it many times but never managed to get to 7 days 😢 Starting weight: 94.3kg Finish weight to come…
Knew you’d pull it out of the bag with the editing 🙌🏼 came out great man and super entertaining while informative too and the fact you documented every day shows dat der dedication to the tuuuuuuubes! Sick vid/experiment but I can’t lie, I won’t be trying it any time soon myself 😂 you also have to be the only one who breaks a week long fast with a shake lmfao. 15lb drop in a week is whopper lol and definitely see a big difference in the waist region 🤙🏼
Cheers mate it was a mine field to edit but managed to get there in the end. After only drinking water for a week that smoothie tasted like the nectar from the Gods and don't worry i've treated myself to some cereal this week to make up for it. 😂
This is my first time ever fasting and this video helped inspire me to do so! But I’m currently entering day 4 of 7, I haven’t really felt like complete crap though, I mean my stomach hurts occasionally but I just drink water to get it to stop and I feel like I have no energy but other than that I’ve felt fine this whole time, is that normal?
I would say so, my energy felt like I was on a rollercoaster I would be full of beans one minute and the next minute I would need a lie down. By day four the hunger was a lot more manageable for me and I believe thats because you should now be entering ketosis. 😊
@@PeteOnPurpose alright awesome thank you! I appreciate it! That’s also how I’ve been though it is definitely a roller coaster that is for sure. I appreciate the response!
Haha alcohol fasts, reminds me of my younger self. When I was in uni I would barely eat before nights out so I would get drunk quickly and wouldn't have to spend much money. 😂
I am 25 hrs into a 7 day Fast. I know this sounds mad but I am doing hiit every day. It's not that crazy though as I have a sit down job so spend a long of time sitting. I read that black coffee with no sugar doesn't break the fast and you still go into autophagy and ketosis. I am not doing diet coke but I also read that a diet coke doesn't break fast either???? I think the sucralose would surely spike insulin levels though? Anyways I started at 18 stone 7 pounds (6"2 tall some good muscle size but also about 25% body fat. I have to do it to make weight for a procedure so I know I have to finish the fast.
I don’t know if this is a stupid question BUT… do you brush your teeth with toothpaste on a fast? Is it better to avoid toothpaste as you’re likely to swallow a bit?
Haha, I had the same question myself, I still brushed my teeth but some extreme people will not however I think having bad breath for seven days a whole challenge in itself. 😅
I'm going on a 18day water fast... First time doing a fast for more than 12hrs but I'm feeling good... Abit tired but I'm all good Can you recommend the sodium and whatsoever?
Wow, 18 days that's incredible, I just used a brand called 'No Salt' for my potassium and baking powder for my sodium. How far along are you now and how are you getting on?
@@PeteOnPurpose on my 6th day of fast, started on 31/1/2022 Just got my first dose of vaccine, add a pill and drink water thats it Tbh, I have gained somewhat energy, not that I can run here and there but I feel so light and active. I was wondering, how many days did it took you to eat solid food ? Since I have a wedding on 19th, I'm planning to cut it short to 14/15 days and take at least 2/3days to regain my eating habits so that I can consume solid food
@@Anonymous-lh7hg Day 6 wow you're killing it, my man! I ate pretty much normal the next day to be honest. My diet is plant-based whole foods so I think they are fairly easily digestible foods anyway. Not sure about a 14/15 day fast though I reckon you probably want to give yourself at least three days before a wedding if you plan on going wild eg boozing and eating junk food.
7 days?only water it seems so hard.I did the water fasting only 3 days to detoxify my organism and in the four day i stopped. My face was so pale....and I felt so exhausted....so i stopped.It was ny first time i hope in the second time to accomplish the seven days.Great video
I'm on my day four and I fell horrible. Extreme nausea.Really dizzy almost fell I'm fainting when I go outside for a smoke. My face fells like it's burning. I don't care about the hunger or food. I just wish I didn't have those other simptons. Anyway first 3 days were manageble and I even include some exercise. In the last 24 hours I swapped water for green tea ( 7 to 10) tea bags and also putting a teaspoon of salt to try stay hydrated. Anyway I'm going to the pharmacy buy some magnesium, zinc, calcium and have iodised salt instead of regular to stay on top of being well hydrated. Drinking extra water doesn't help at all. I'm almost 200 pounds or just under 100 kilos and only lost almost 3 kilos on almost 5 days but my bowls and stomach are empty. I will probably but most of my weight back with a meal and lots of water. Some skinny people lost far more weight than I did reading comments here on TH-cam. Don't let that discourage you tho. It's still a great way to detox yourself and reset your body and other benefits. I have underlying health issues so maybe that's why I'm not getting the results I was hoping for.
Hey Daniel I would definitely take it easy or stop the fast if you are feeling dizzy and almost fainting that doesn't sound good. It sounds like you are smoking during the fast? If so that could be the problem and could be inducing these symptoms? Also of course with underlying health issues you have to be careful and should seek medical advice. How are you now buddy?
@@PeteOnPurpose I did have times when I felt really sick. Smoking has nothing to do with it. I do suffer from panick attack as well. Took one valium ( prescribed by doctor of course) and I was fine after. 2 more hours until day 7 but I think of pushing for 10 days maybe. I haven't figured out what to eat yet after the fast so I don't get refeeding syndrome.
@@danielonufrei3035 Ok thats great and I am happy to hear you are doing well bud. Just listen to your body when you finish the fast, nice healthy whole foods should help. 😊
@@PeteOnPurpose thanks 4 being helpful. This was my first fast BTW. I have watched a lot of TH-cam on water fasting before I started. The reason I'm aiming for 10 days is because I'm guessing it takes about 3 day to go under fat burning mode so I just wanted 7 days to be under fat burning mode. I will do the fast again real soon and once I achieve my weight goal I will have to find a diet maintain it. Lost 12 kilos in 2 months eating 1 meal a day and exercise and another 6 kg on the water fast. I'm currently 89 kilograms witch ain't bad coz I'm 1.88 tall or 6.2 feet. It's just the belly fat I cat fully get rid of. That's why I want to do a second fast and then probably eat proteins and veggies to build my muscles or go on a keto diet.
I only did two "work outs" more like full-body circuits but the majority of the week I just went on a walk and did some stretching. So minimal activity for me in comparison to normal.
I’m On day 2 so far I want to do it for ten days and I hope that I will as I’m a medical student so studying is very important but all in all I’m pushing it
ending my 5th day tonight and i honestly want to go for 14/20 days coz im doing it for potential cancer reasons 😬 purely suspicion due to breast pains, but i also just need to fast coz i’ve been eating junky food for a while now and gained some weight. i really just want my body to go into autophogy and really eat up all that damaged tissue/cells and of course the possible cancer cells 💀 let’s hope that’s not the case tho. i feel fine so that’s good
Yes. It helps me. My longer fast was 14 days. For 6 days I was usually unable to sleep. so before going to bed like a few tomatoes, carrots or cucumbers. 1 kg of cucumbers or carrots equals 180 kcal. 1 carrot is about 40 kcal. So practically nothing and allows longer in the fast.
Awesome video man I was engaged the entire time. I’m starting my fast tomorrow and this was the perfect motivation I needed. Thanks for sharing your journey!
@@PeteOnPurpose totally, pushing you out of the comfort zone actually makes you realize how strong the human body actually is and you see that you dont need to eat evry day, neither every 2 hours, all that nonsense nutrition crap! keep doing brother
@@Jumbaride Sorry I have been offline for the last week so just getting back to all the comments now. No I have never heard of it, is it worth checking out?
Yes mate of course you can't be doing long fasts all the time especially if you are looking to build muscle which I am. I only periodically do long fasts when I get a feeling that its 'time' if that makes sense? 😊
Hi, I have a question. In my case, when I was in fasting for more than 2 days I face constipation in third day. But you know if you eat nothing then there will be no waste you'll gonna dump in toilet accept pee. And that's the reason why I kinda get scared for fasting more than 3 days. But my goal is around 2 weeks or so. Is there will be any problems that you'll not gonna poop for more than 2 weeks? I mean is there any bad consequences for not pooping for 2 weeks or so and is there any chance if I break my fasting after 2 weeks and face the constipation again in day 15th? And sorry for my bad English. English is my 3rd language by the way 😅
Hey bud i wouldn't over think it, i think i was still pooing a few days into my fast though i cant really remember. I would just take it slow and see how you get on.
My new year's resolution this year was to really push myself to do ONE thing each month that takes me out of my comfort zone and for January that happened to be a 7-day water fast. 😊

Great going bud I always do a 24 hour fast every Friday just as habit I’ve stuck to
Nice one mate, I am looking at doing a 24/36 hour one every Sunday now too. 😊
I did an 8 day Water Fast. Then immediately started no carb "under 10 grams a day" healthy eating. Ketosis! While only drinking water all this time. Lots of water, about 3/4 gallon everyday. In 10 weeks since I started the 8 day Water Fast, I've lost 50 lbs. in 10 weeks. 60 yr old male at 6 ft. tall and was 250 lbs. Now?? 200 lbs. Goal? 183 lbs. and join a gym to lift weights to do a final body tone/shape.
How are you doing now? 6ft 183 is a real athletic body size.
@@dennisrobinson8008 Down to 180 lbs. Aug.2024. Total lost 70-75 lbs.
Congrats. Must feel great. @@neilouellette3004
YEEEEEEESSSSSS PETE!!! You totally smashed this! What a great video!!!!!
I'll be doing a 5 day fast soon so going to use some of your tips 👍
Thank so much LT! Your fasting video is what inspired me to give this a go as you didn’t lose any muscle which was my main concern in doing a longer fast. Good luck with your 5 days I don’t think if I will be doing another long fast anytime soon. 😅
@@PeteOnPurpose did you lose much muscle and strength???
@@LauraTryUK I’ve actually just started back at the gym this week and my compound lifts are as good and some even better than they were before. I honestly feel like I lost no muscle or strength during the fast or at the most very minimal amounts which is mind blowing to me.
We love you LT!!
@@PeteOnPurpose so mega! An active recovery week mixed with repair work and increased hormone maybe 🤔
1. Coffee + electrolytes. (I still chew tobacco)
2. Omad
3. Coconut oil - when feel like giving in…
4. Carry the fast & skip the omad till next day.
5. Repeat. Don’t go too fast 12hr-18hr-24hr->
Excellent 7-day fast experience! I love salt water when I fasting; I add thyme and it's like having a turkey dinner, LOL! Speaking of salt, Celtic sea salt is "whole salt" meaning all the minerals we're supposed to have _with_ NaCl haven't been stripped away and the sodium does even more good for your body working synergistically with the trace minerals...heads up!
Thanks for the tips I will try the ‘thyme’ trick next time. 😀
I’m embarking on a 7 day fast starting today. This is really motivating ❤
Yes mate, good luck 😀
Progress?
are you still alive?

Awesome video! I am on day 4 of my 7 day water fast. I love your editing, I'm stealing some of your techniques! You have set the bar on a 7 day fasting video. Best one I've seen. Until I make mine in a few weeks!
Cheers mate I appreciate that, good luck! Editing the video is almost as difficult as the fast itself 😅
@@PeteOnPurpose Ha! It is a challenge but there is no suffering involved in editing, maybe a little.
Haha depends how deep into and editing session you are 😅
Crazy thing is, you are right that eating isn't so much about sustenance but more habits
I remember being close to 48 hours of fasting and felt great, but decided to eat
Fasting teaches you so much about your mental strength and will power more than anything 😀
Well done!! I am 10 hours in to my 5 day water fast. 152 pounds and 5’7 to start off with. I will update 😃😃
Amazing, good luck! 😊
So ur dead?
How did it go?
@@PeteOnPurpose 15 pounds and I then gained 6 pounds after and have maintained the rest 😋😛
@@tikrineloja yes lol
Hii! I loved your video, im also starting a 7 day water fast !! It had a lot of benefits (and muscle loss happens but you can always regain muscle)
Thank you so much, muscle loss really isn’t anything to worry about as soon as you start eating and working out it will come straight back. Good luck and enjoy the journey 😀
You only depleted glycogen
Iirc, the actual muscle fibres that you grow when building muscle are still 'there' albeit in a depleted state so it is literally easier to build 'back' the muscles than to build them initially.
The longest I’ve fasted for was 76 hours!
Thanks for this video. Super motivating! 😊
76 hours is awesome, well done. 😊
@@PeteOnPurpose
Thank You 😊
Great video bud! Very detailed and you feeling cold all the time immediately brought me back and made me remember when I did a bodybuilding competition. The last month of cutting I remember being cold constantly ha ha.
Cheers mate, yes it was an interesting experience. I reckon preparing for a bodybuilding show would be even harder
Your video is very detailed. The best one so far. Today is day 2 of my water fast and im excited to finish my 7days fast. I truly appreciate your detailed video it is so helpful ❤
Thank you, good luck with the fast. 😊
@PeteOnPurpose very kind of you ..:)
You are very inspiring watched your videos...Keep going :)
You're a legend mate. You've motivated me to start my 7 day fast. wish me luck!
Good luck mate, its no easy feat
Very enjoyable video, helping me keep motivated. I'm on day 5 out of 5, just hours away from my goal. Extremely pleased with managing to go through an entire work week with decent energy. Working with concrete, so it's physical.
Wow 5 days working with concrete is way more impressive than my 7 laying around the house
@@PeteOnPurpose Cheers, was a cool experience I've always been a bit curious on. Was easier than I thought, but it sure was a bit dull, espcially on the evenings. All you want to is the time to go by and watch some series and sleep. Done now and enjoying some broth, a carrot and a pretzel :D
Mate you smashed it, well deserved pretzel
I’m on day 3 and I still gotta cook for my family, it smells sooo good. But haven’t gave in yet
Nice one, I found day 3/4 the toughest as its when you're switching into ketosis.
Great video and very useful. I do 16/8 plus 24 hr on Saturdays on a whole food plant diet and kicking off a 7 day start of the month. Slightly apprehensive.
Oh amazing, just take it slow and remember if it ever gets too much you can just eat something. 😀
@@PeteOnPurpose All went great - finished last week and now back to our 18 - 6. Thanks for your feedback. Cheers. Stu

How did u get on
Congratulations on completing your fast and on your amazing results! I have a question: did you notice any hair loss after the fast? I've heard that this could be an issue. I have done several 5-day water fasts, and I've never experienced any hair loss but now I would like to do a longer one (2 or 3 weeks, not for weight loss but for spiritual reasons) and hair loss is any concern. Thanks!
Hi Lola, i did not experience any hair loss and I have never heard that before? My fast was also mostly for spiritual reasons, good luck. 😀
Great video, hella inspiration man.
I am 48hrs in on my 72hrs fast but I might push it 5days, who knows maybe 7days.
That's awesome mate, just take it as you go and see how you get on. 😊
I followed the water fasting regime for 13 days and I thank God I did not get tired I had such terrible energy that I could not sleep
13 days wow that's incredible. Not being able to sleep is definitely the hardest part of the fast for me as well. How did you feel afterwards?
My feeling was very good and my mood has changed for the better.
@@Danaincalifornia1249 that’s awesome mate 😀
Got to take magnesium apparently to help with sleep!
Did u loose weight
Hey Pete! Loved your video. The longest I’ve fasted so far is for 3 days. I’ve been thinking of trying a 7 day water fast and your video was very helpful.
I was wondering if you gained some of the weight back after a couple of days or weeks. Also how many days did you take to slowly come back to your regular eating schedule? Or did you do it immediately?
Hi there, I think I answered all of these questions in this video, my 3 week later update. I hope that helps. 😊
th-cam.com/video/cHAvmZBWDao/w-d-xo.html
@@PeteOnPurpose Thank you!
I'm on my 3rd day out of 7. This is my first real fast. I did a 4 day fast a few years ago but I cheated a bit. I feel quite good right now. I do it for weight loss and to heal my gut.
Nice work 😊
I am 3 days in finding it very difficult, but I am obsessed with food so I knew it wouldn't be easy. Wish me luck 🤞
Day 3/4 were the toughest days for me its when your body is switching over to ketosis so it can be quite a tough transition, just take it easy once you're in ketosis you don't feel hunger anymore.
@@PeteOnPurpose to be fair I feel better than I thought I would, just sleep is a slight issue and my senses have increased dramatically. I feel food is advertised too much lol
@@daftjedi5328 Yes I really struggled to sleep the first few nights too and I think it was because my senses were so heightened everything was waking me up. However, I also felt not too tired and that my sleep was really deep. Yes you definitely notice food everywhere which is why i cleared out my fridge. 😂
Failed today lol, I started getting really dizzy. But probably could of made it just got a bit weird. Lost weight tho 😉 4 days 15 hours
@@daftjedi5328 4 days is fantastic and a good call stopping the fast if you feel dizzy that's probably a sign to stop. I'm sure your food craving and appetite have been reduced also. 😊
I stopped eating and smoking 8 days ago. Did not notice any bad side effects or withdrawals, going for 2 weeks and then we will see. It's actually really easy.
Thats awesome man 😀
Excellent video. Simple and easy to understand without any extra chitchat to make things confusing. Well done sir. Thanks.
Cheers Michael, I hope you found it helpful.

Hi Pete, very informative and one of the best laid out and presented water fasting journeys I have seen. Keep up the good work and God bless 😊
Thanks so much Alex, really appreciate that. 😊
Amazing video man, I'm on my way to do it now. Today is the first day and I'll share my results with you, although it's only for 72 hours 😅
Good luck, 72 hours is no joke. 😊
This is a really good authentic video.. I’m on day 4 and im super excited for you watching this… tht laugher when you chewed food is the cutest!
Day 4 that’s awesome, your not far from laughter eating. 😀
What a great video! Very very inspiring. I have been wanting to do something like this, after some short fasting and I think your tips will be useful. Thank you for sharing it!
Thanks, bud, let me know how you get on. 😊
Thank you for ypur inspired result
Last week i tried 7 day fasting with running 100 km. The result was be like shocked i didn't lose muscle at all but body fat gone like 5 % and very sharp mind focus.
Wow incredible effort mate, how did it impact your running?
Congrats! Started my 7 days fast this morning. Not new to fasting but been struggling lately… So thank you for your video.. Looking forward to the results body, mind & spirit. Also downloaded the LIFE app, love it so far.
Yes good luck, this is the only long fast I have done. It was difficult but I learnt a lot from the experience. 😊
@@PeteOnPurposeThank you!!! My longest was 40 days.. It takes quite the will power but it is sooo worth it! The mental and spiritual clarity is beyond and your body goes through quite the transformation! My goal with this 7 days is to reset and rebuild better eating habits.
It should be stressed, overstressed even to take enough days to refeed. You shutdown much of your digestive functions, the last thing you want is to shock your system that you have severe complications and not see the next day. The consensus seems to eat or drink bone broth to get your body ready for food, everyones body varies but a 7 day fast is a 2-4 day refeed depending on the person. If you frequently do long fast then obviously your body will be more adapted to eating sooner than later. As for the working out comprehend going in you will not build any muscle youre simply negating atrophy. Once you start to eat again intermittent fasting 16/8, OMAD or OMEOD and hard workouts will easily build the muscle you want. Good look to all, enjoy your new you.
I’m on day 1. Of course New Years is coming up and I think my girl wants to go on a date this weekend so we’ll see how that goes but imma stick it out day by day till I get the results I want.
We need to do a live stream collab sometime, Pete! Another great video, my friend. You're crushing it!
Cheers matey, I don't think I'm interesting enough for a live stream and whos going to edit out all my 'ums' 'aaass' and 5 minute long pauses while I think of something funny to say? 😂
@@PeteOnPurpose that's the beauty of it. There is no editing! I think you're plenty interesting enough. And there will be no pauses because we will be on together. Much easier than hosting your first stream alone because you have someone to keep the ball rolling at all times. You should really consider it, my friend. Especially with your audience, I believe a livestream of you and I discussing our differing perspectives on training would be beneficial to both of us!
Stated my 7 day water fast 8 hours ago! Let's go!
Nice work, how are you getting on bud?
@@PeteOnPurposenot bad at all. I've cycled 48 hour fasts before, didn't realize this would be this easy for me. At least up until now.
@@hutch3376 You're a beast mate, glad to hear it. 😊
How did you end up?
@@hutch3376 How did it go bud?
hello, nice video. When you recorded the end results were those fasted results?
Yes they were
bro you ended a 7-day fast with protein powder? would not recommend
Did this for 3 days really did clean out my body of toxins and cleaned out my gut 🙂
Yes mate, glad to hear it. 😀
Hi man, I’m starting this today but I was just wondering when it comes to the meal at the end of the time, does it have to be a smoothie n bone broth? Could you recommend anything for someone who isn’t keen on fruits 🤣🤣 thanks 🙏🏻
Hey, bud, I am not an expert but I would assume anything that is easily digestible is probably best. However, I have seen people break 7-day fasts with burgers and chips so I don't know how serious it really is? I would say just listen to your body at the end of the fast I just couldn't wait to have a smoothie. How are you getting on you must be reaching ketosis by now?
You could try scrambled eggs to break the fast, then an hour or two later, you can eat more of a meal, such as steak. If high insulin is a problem for you, the last thing you want to break a fast with is fruit/juice/smoothie. You’ve just lowered your insulin through fasting, you’re super sensitive, and you eat/drink something that’s known for spiking insulin… not a good idea.
Starting a 3 day fast today! But I’m a teenager who also works out every week. I’m interested in the fast to see if I have enough self control to restrict eating for a little bit but I was wondering if me working out like weight training,calisthenics or cardio would be bad to do during a 3 day (or longer) fast?
Fasted is not recommended if you are a teenager
Amazing stuff, Pete! Thanks for sharing bro
Cheers mate, appreciate it 😀
Great job! I'm trying but sometimes i crave on the first day & eat a small bit of food....i do customer service on the phone ...so can get so hard 😬
...i know that slow feeling it sucks!
The longest i went was 5 days 🙂 feels great when u make it🙂
...im practicing fasting more
The first day is definitely the hardest and it seems to get easier the longer you go but as always practise makes perfect.
45 hours in. Feeling okay, but just bored! I’m finding that the hardest. Hunger comes in waves, whenever it happens I smash a pint of water and feel much better. I’ve attempted it many times but never managed to get to 7 days 😢
Starting weight: 94.3kg
Finish weight to come…
Yes mate, the boredom makes you realise how much we just eat to pass the time
Thinking of doing a 7 day fast soon. Do you think it’s ok to eat fruit along with nothing but water? Would that effect the overall fast too much?
You can eat fruit but you will no longer be water fasting, so could negate the positive effects through autophagy.
Knew you’d pull it out of the bag with the editing 🙌🏼 came out great man and super entertaining while informative too and the fact you documented every day shows dat der dedication to the tuuuuuuubes! Sick vid/experiment but I can’t lie, I won’t be trying it any time soon myself 😂 you also have to be the only one who breaks a week long fast with a shake lmfao. 15lb drop in a week is whopper lol and definitely see a big difference in the waist region 🤙🏼
Cheers mate it was a mine field to edit but managed to get there in the end. After only drinking water for a week that smoothie tasted like the nectar from the Gods and don't worry i've treated myself to some cereal this week to make up for it. 😂
Loves the honesty
Cheers mate 😊
This is my first time ever fasting and this video helped inspire me to do so! But I’m currently entering day 4 of 7, I haven’t really felt like complete crap though, I mean my stomach hurts occasionally but I just drink water to get it to stop and I feel like I have no energy but other than that I’ve felt fine this whole time, is that normal?
Also, I don’t think I’ve had any moments of really clear thinking yet
I would say so, my energy felt like I was on a rollercoaster I would be full of beans one minute and the next minute I would need a lie down. By day four the hunger was a lot more manageable for me and I believe thats because you should now be entering ketosis. 😊
@@PeteOnPurpose alright awesome thank you! I appreciate it! That’s also how I’ve been though it is definitely a roller coaster that is for sure. I appreciate the response!
Yes mate its a wild ride, enjoy the adventure. 😊
I've done this a couple of times with alcohol, only on weekends 😉😂😂
Haha alcohol fasts, reminds me of my younger self. When I was in uni I would barely eat before nights out so I would get drunk quickly and wouldn't have to spend much money. 😂
@@PeteOnPurpose yes very true 😂😂
😂😂😂
Wow I really wanna try this but will I be able to take my diabetes medication and blood pressure medication?
I would speak to your doctor as it could be dangerous if you are on medication
Great video, does the number 555 means anything to you?
Yes, I believe it means change is coming
Okay! I will like to do it for 7 day's but what should i need to prefer for eating after completing Water fast...
Yes, good luck mate. I made a follow up which should cover all your questions.
th-cam.com/video/cHAvmZBWDao/w-d-xo.html
Hello there. May I know the brand and model of the weighing scale you used? Thank you in advance and have a great day.
It was just a cheap one I got from Aldi, I don't know the brand? I gave them to my dad when we moved last year.
I love your muse tarot deck you have in the background 🦋🔮🙏
Haha, good eyes, that's actually Loretta's deck she is the tarot reader in the house.
Have you used any multivitamin? I want to start fasting so making sure do we need anything ?
5:10 is what i drank bud
This is so motivating thank you for documenting it
Happy you liked it 😀
My longest water fast was 5 days. But that was 4 years ago. Now I'm 21 and going for a 7 day water fast. I weigh 232.4 pounds at 20% body fat
The first 3/4 days are the hardest so if you have already managed 5 you should be cool with 7. 😊
I am 25 hrs into a 7 day Fast. I know this sounds mad but I am doing hiit every day. It's not that crazy though as I have a sit down job so spend a long of time sitting. I read that black coffee with no sugar doesn't break the fast and you still go into autophagy and ketosis. I am not doing diet coke but I also read that a diet coke doesn't break fast either???? I think the sucralose would surely spike insulin levels though?
Anyways I started at 18 stone 7 pounds (6"2 tall some good muscle size but also about 25% body fat.
I have to do it to make weight for a procedure so I know I have to finish the fast.
Good luck mate, if I can do it so can you.
Good tip on the not flushing and sodium/potassium. I just started, on my 18th hour.
Oh nice, good luck mate. 😀
Did you workout everyday throughout your fast? When I fast during my third/fourth day I tend to get very week. Do you have any tips if so?
I took it pretty easy like I say in the video I used this week as a deload week so active recovery.
5:58
1/2 teaspoon Bonsalt
1 tablespoon of baking soda
How often do you think you should fast this long or even 2-5 days? A few months break or so?
I personally havent fasted since this video but i would say once every couple of months is probably a good reset
I'm actually on my second day and I fell really good. I added a little salt to my water and I feel more energized
After my 6 day fast I got teary eyed when I took my first bite. Just ridiculous
Haha yea tastes buds are insane for a day or two
I don’t know if this is a stupid question BUT… do you brush your teeth with toothpaste on a fast? Is it better to avoid toothpaste as you’re likely to swallow a bit?
Haha, I had the same question myself, I still brushed my teeth but some extreme people will not however I think having bad breath for seven days a whole challenge in itself. 😅
@@PeteOnPurpose That is a very good point! 😁
@@TheSoundsInside maybe my next challenge? 😂
@@PeteOnPurpose Good luck with that! 😂
@@TheSoundsInside video coming soon 😅
I'm going on a 18day water fast... First time doing a fast for more than 12hrs but I'm feeling good... Abit tired but I'm all good
Can you recommend the sodium and whatsoever?
Wow, 18 days that's incredible, I just used a brand called 'No Salt' for my potassium and baking powder for my sodium. How far along are you now and how are you getting on?
@@PeteOnPurpose on my 6th day of fast, started on 31/1/2022
Just got my first dose of vaccine, add a pill and drink water thats it
Tbh, I have gained somewhat energy, not that I can run here and there but I feel so light and active.
I was wondering, how many days did it took you to eat solid food ? Since I have a wedding on 19th, I'm planning to cut it short to 14/15 days and take at least 2/3days to regain my eating habits so that I can consume solid food
@@Anonymous-lh7hg Day 6 wow you're killing it, my man! I ate pretty much normal the next day to be honest. My diet is plant-based whole foods so I think they are fairly easily digestible foods anyway. Not sure about a 14/15 day fast though I reckon you probably want to give yourself at least three days before a wedding if you plan on going wild eg boozing and eating junk food.
@@PeteOnPurpose thank you!
@@PeteOnPurpose BTW can we also consume Himalayan pink salt during the water fast?
7 days?only water it seems so hard.I did the water fasting only 3 days to detoxify my organism and in the four day i stopped. My face was so pale....and I felt so exhausted....so i stopped.It was ny first time i hope in the second time to accomplish the seven days.Great video
3 days for your first fast is very good, i slowly worked my way up to 7 days
@@PeteOnPurpose thank you so much☺️
@@PeteOnPurpose can I ask you something? How many times per year must do fasting?2-3 times it's okay?
probably every couple of months but usually only a couple of days i only did a 7 day fast this one time, its pretty tough
I start my water fast today I plan to do it for 15 days to see how I do thanks so much for this motivation video
15 days wow, good luck 😊
Results?
I'm on my day four and I fell horrible. Extreme nausea.Really dizzy almost fell I'm fainting when I go outside for a smoke. My face fells like it's burning. I don't care about the hunger or food. I just wish I didn't have those other simptons. Anyway first 3 days were manageble and I even include some exercise. In the last 24 hours I swapped water for green tea ( 7 to 10) tea bags and also putting a teaspoon of salt to try stay hydrated. Anyway I'm going to the pharmacy buy some magnesium, zinc, calcium and have iodised salt instead of regular to stay on top of being well hydrated. Drinking extra water doesn't help at all. I'm almost 200 pounds or just under 100 kilos and only lost almost 3 kilos on almost 5 days but my bowls and stomach are empty. I will probably but most of my weight back with a meal and lots of water. Some skinny people lost far more weight than I did reading comments here on TH-cam. Don't let that discourage you tho. It's still a great way to detox yourself and reset your body and other benefits. I have underlying health issues so maybe that's why I'm not getting the results I was hoping for.
Hey Daniel I would definitely take it easy or stop the fast if you are feeling dizzy and almost fainting that doesn't sound good. It sounds like you are smoking during the fast? If so that could be the problem and could be inducing these symptoms? Also of course with underlying health issues you have to be careful and should seek medical advice. How are you now buddy?
@@PeteOnPurpose I did have times when I felt really sick. Smoking has nothing to do with it. I do suffer from panick attack as well. Took one valium ( prescribed by doctor of course) and I was fine after. 2 more hours until day 7 but I think of pushing for 10 days maybe. I haven't figured out what to eat yet after the fast so I don't get refeeding syndrome.
@@danielonufrei3035 Ok thats great and I am happy to hear you are doing well bud. Just listen to your body when you finish the fast, nice healthy whole foods should help. 😊
@@PeteOnPurpose thanks 4 being helpful. This was my first fast BTW. I have watched a lot of TH-cam on water fasting before I started. The reason I'm aiming for 10 days is because I'm guessing it takes about 3 day to go under fat burning mode so I just wanted 7 days to be under fat burning mode. I will do the fast again real soon and once I achieve my weight goal I will have to find a diet maintain it. Lost 12 kilos in 2 months eating 1 meal a day and exercise and another 6 kg on the water fast. I'm currently 89 kilograms witch ain't bad coz I'm 1.88 tall or 6.2 feet. It's just the belly fat I cat fully get rid of. That's why I want to do a second fast and then probably eat proteins and veggies to build my muscles or go on a keto diet.
Why would you smoke during a fast
Finna do this brotha , thank you
Good luck 😀
Did you workout during all 7 days? As I think it’s better to give your body a lot of rest and just do light movement
I only did two "work outs" more like full-body circuits but the majority of the week I just went on a walk and did some stretching. So minimal activity for me in comparison to normal.
I’m
On day 2 so far I want to do it for ten days and I hope that I will as I’m a medical student so studying is very important but all in all I’m pushing it
Nice, ten days is a mighty goal. keeping yourself busy with school might be helpful.
ending my 5th day tonight and i honestly want to go for 14/20 days coz im doing it for potential cancer reasons 😬 purely suspicion due to breast pains, but i also just need to fast coz i’ve been eating junky food for a while now and gained some weight. i really just want my body to go into autophogy and really eat up all that damaged tissue/cells and of course the possible cancer cells 💀 let’s hope that’s not the case tho. i feel fine so that’s good
Well done 5 days is great and I hope you are feeling better. 😀
I'm exactly in the same boat except it's not about potential breast cancer but pain in the gut. How did your fast go? You're OK?
Pro tip from my experience. If someone tried do longer fasting. The nights we have problems with a sleep. I suggest 2 tomato or 2 cucumber
eat two tomatoes to help you sleep?
Yes. It helps me. My longer fast was 14 days. For 6 days I was usually unable to sleep. so before going to bed like a few tomatoes, carrots or cucumbers. 1 kg of cucumbers or carrots equals 180 kcal. 1 carrot is about 40 kcal. So practically nothing and allows longer in the fast.
Some people may try an enema because it is a small portion of a meal and may be in the intestine
Oh interesting i always have a bit of trouble sleeping when i fast.
????
Thanks for recording this man, it was really an inspiration for me, started my fasting today and hopefully will reach 7 to 10 days.
Good luck mate.

@@PeteOnPurpose no I haven't but I know my body well enough I've had diabetes for 10+ years I even started eating one meal a day
I did 3 days waterfast and I had my lunch today and after lunch my 7 day water fast starts I lose 3.3lbs in three days
good luck mate
I’m at 106 hours been trying to do a 7 day fast but damn it’s crazy hard
Please, Stick with I.F. For Maintenanceand other amazing health benefits. Bravo to you x
Yes mate of course you can't be doing long fasts all the time especially if you are looking to build muscle which I am. I only periodically do long fasts when I get a feeling that its 'time' if that makes sense? 😊
@@PeteOnPurpose makes perfect sense. 🤗

Hi, I have a question. In my case, when I was in fasting for more than 2 days I face constipation in third day. But you know if you eat nothing then there will be no waste you'll gonna dump in toilet accept pee. And that's the reason why I kinda get scared for fasting more than 3 days. But my goal is around 2 weeks or so. Is there will be any problems that you'll not gonna poop for more than 2 weeks? I mean is there any bad consequences for not pooping for 2 weeks or so and is there any chance if I break my fasting after 2 weeks and face the constipation again in day 15th?
And sorry for my bad English. English is my 3rd language by the way 😅
Hey bud i wouldn't over think it, i think i was still pooing a few days into my fast though i cant really remember. I would just take it slow and see how you get on.
Oh I see. Thank you so much.
Dont u lose a bunch of muscle if u do this? Also will it be good if i eat like oatmeal once in 2 days?
If you are going to eat you may as well try a calorie deficit
I did an 8 day one with cardio and weight lifting and lost 22 pounds had amazing sleep only issue was how bad I looked
Oh nice man, good work.
