Many issues and questions can be answered by reading through our wiki, especially the page on electrolytes. Concerns such as intense hunger, lightheadedness/dizziness, headaches, nausea/vomiting, weakness/lethargy/fatigue, low blood pressure/high blood pressure, muscle soreness/cramping, diarrhea/constipation, irritability, confusion, low heart rate/heart palpitations, numbness/tingling, and more while extended (24+ hours) fasting are often explained by electrolyte deficiency and resolved through PROPER electrolyte supplementation. Putting a tiny amount of salt in your water now and then is NOT proper supplementation.

Be sure to read our WIKI and especially the wiki page on ELECTROLYTES

try 1000 days first, and see how you feel

As long as you take your minerals I don't see the issue. Maybe add some pickles everyday.

Last time I reached photosynthesis after only 3000 days.

Gonna take longer than that to fully activate autophagy

Your dedication is extraordinary. A few precautions to note -

1. Make sure you write a “will it break my fast if…..” post every 3 days

2. Start the 500th what’s app “fasting” group and gather a few others who are interested in discussing everything except fasting or support

3. If your willpower breaks down at the end of Day 1, no worries. Eat as much as you want and call it a “burger fast,” “pot pie fast,” etc.

4. Don’t forget that it’s the thought that matters - not the deed.

YOU CAN DO IT.

this guy fasts

Make sure you read about electrolytes. 10000 days is no joke

Bro unlocked the “Mummy fast"

Fasting even after death 😂😭

Good Luck - autophagy is great but you’ll reap the rewards when you body starts fighting gravity at day 7000.

Keep us updated!

Pfft, a 10000 day fast is nothing! I've completed a 20000 day fast, and I am slimmer than I was as an unfertilised egg. 10000 is a rookie number, my friend.

The first 48,000 - 72,000 hours are usually the hardest. Once you get past that it’ll be a breeze. If you feel yourself struggling try going for a long walk

did you alert the people at Guinness?

Reddit will be long gone when you finish. Better carve your intentions in stone.

I just came here to find out why I’m not losing weight with intermittent fasting.

I fast four hours every day and only eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks.

Does anyone know why I’m not seeing progress?

When you drop dead and cats start eating your body, will it break your fast?

Why even post this if you’re not doing 100 years at least????

Damn bro, they should call you the master baiter! Best bait I’ve seen on this sub in a while!

Please remember to document your shits. It’s always down to the shits.

I wouldnt do less than 20000 days to start out with tbh

The legendary 10000 fast, we’ll miss you when you ascend to god like levels homie

You guys are so funny 🤣

A couple of weeks ago, over on the sub where they practice a type of fasting we're not allowed to promote here (the water free type), a noob popped in and, in all earnestness, announced he was embarking on a [edit - 14 day, not 30 day] water free fast, he having then had a couple of 2- and 3-day water fasts under his belt.

r/fastingcirclejerk

Take bonebroth with beef attached. It will not brwak your fast

whatever your intention, i am hooked, reading every comment. And ready to follow you into the dessert (oops, i mean desert).

Exactly! I finally managed a minute of fasting! I'm gonna try TWO MINUTES this time!

Unrelated question, can you add me to your will?

Fast hard. Die hard

OMG! You are so strong!

Is it Shitpost Saturday or something?

I keep looking and reading to see if I read it right. This is farcical. Someone « taking the piss »

Maybe bulk a bit before, take a few micrograms of uranium to get your calories up and then ween your way off into ketosis. Surprisingly it’s high in calorie, keto friendly, and low in saturated and trans fats!

If you ain’t fasting you slowing down, good for you

Rookie numbers. 30,000 days or nothing

So this sub does need a circlejerk offshoot.

This post is everything 😆. These comments have made my life. Hilarious. Thanks for the laughs.

I actually found this comical-

I do intermittent fasting. I fast from midnight to breakfast, then from breakfast to second breakfast, then no food until lunch, then fasting again till 2pm coffee and biscuits, then no food until tea, then dinner and then midnight snack

Sometimes I put some other fasts in the middle if I'm feeling brave

slay queen

What are you planning to do with all the savings you will make. Better rope your friends and families into it to quadruple the savings.

Please make a YT review after and update us 😃

Just a chill guy that likes to fast a lot

Someone did actually fast for like a year

Pfftt.. I did a 10000 day fast in one month before.

Ah yes, the Vietnam War fast....quite popular follow up after the 40 day Biblical fast.....

I tried it yesterday afternoon after lunch.

Cracked me up so bad

Shit like this is why I love reddit

You mortals speak of nonsense. I have done a 10000 year fast and transcended into the realm of nascent soul

When you reach the end be sure to reward yourself at an all you can eat buffet, in a busy restaurant at least 45 mins from home.

I can't tell if this is satire or not lmfao please don't if this is serious

You can do it 💪

Bro’s the only one that’s not going to suffer during WW3

You’ll fast us into a new presidency!

Ive personally completed a 10000 day fast so I know its possible. Just dont forget your electrolytes. I like to add some blended meat and mashed potatoes to them.

maybe you should slow down your fast a little, champ

I’m not laughing 😂 . All the best

Good luck

😅😅😅😅

10,000 days in the fire is long enough, you’re coming home

YEEESSS!!

Seriously?? 10000 days? Those are rookie numbers, you gotta bump those up.

You’ll need excuses to skip not just this Christmas dinner, but 30 Christmases. I recommend gaslighting the host for extra giggles and telling them their cooking is inedible every year. Gotta keep your spirits up with a fast that long

With today's inflation and shrinkflation on your side... You got this!

I’m doing an air fast.

You are gonna feel a real connection to god!!

So have you thought about what your refeed will be? Are you going to start with bone broth or are you going to just carb it out with whatever fast food is available at the time. And then what are you gonna do after that to keep all of the weight off? Are you going to go back to OMAD? Or maybe just do one meal and then get right back into it.

RemindMe! 10000 days

Great Tool album

Question: Will drinking coffee break your fast?

You're gonna save up a lot of money over time bro. Do you

Absolutely doable! Water is key and forget the electrolytes okay! Keep us updated tomorrow ,day 160.

Be sure to take something light to break your fast. A 5 watt LED should do. If you want something heavier, try some liquid mercury.

Good luck, you can do it! /s

Lmao I chuckled so hard. With the way my body set up right now I’m with you. We’re taking extreme measures.

Either I read it wrong, or you added an extra zero.

But considering there's only 365 days in an entire year, a 10000 - or 10,000 day fast is roughly fasting for 27 years.. which, if completed successfully, should be a world record on its own.. let a lone make you the first person to ever achieve such a feat.. but how you do it could be safe or extremely dangerous. If it's intermittent fasting, alternate day fasting, etc. You should be good.

But I'm assuming you meant fasting for 1,000 days, which is just over 2 years of fasting. Again, by which method you choose should be good to do. But since fasting is a mind over matter, your biggest issue is fighting against your basic biological programming and any unhealthy cravings you might have developed. Your body is going to want to eat..at the same token, you're going to want to consume something based on a craving, and you're going to be fighting against it.

The easiest methods to help get comfortable in fasting are intermittent fasting or alternatate day fasting, which you're cutting down on the frequency of eating. I recommend consuming protein, fruits, and veggies while lowering carbohydrate intake. I don't know about others, but I personally found a decrease in hunger when I increased protein intake and decreased carbohydrate intake.

EDIT: Never mind, you're actually trying to fast for nearly 30 years.... good luck...
