How i fast for days!
Longest fast: 6 days
1) Dont start ur fast out of nowhere! If u were eating a lot for days and ate 2600 calories the day before, ur body wont like u fasting at all. You have to take it slow and prepare urself for a couple of days, slowly eat less calories, make urself more used to it. I promise this helps A LOT. You are less hungry day by day, u dont give that shock to ur body. (tip! eating ,,a lot" but very low cal foods. Cucumbers, small fruits, zero sugar jelly! My personal savior. It fills u and basically has no cals.)
2) Water. Smth so obvious that we always forget about anyways. Put two bottles of water in ur fridge before u sleep, then chug the cold water through out the day. It doesnt count if u keep ur mouth dry all day and chug 2L at 10pm. You really have to take small sips all day long.
3) Zero drinks. It might not be the best if u want to do a water fast, but if u dont, it helps a ton. At least u feel like u had some taste, as this is what we crave while fasting, kept ur mouth busy for a moment. Coke zero, other zero sodas, zero energy drinks (id recommend these only if ur tired and not with high caffeine, it makes u shaky and might just lead u to eating). Tea and black coffee counts aswell. Dont put sugar in it and ur all good. Green tea and black coffee have many benefits in weightloss, read about it.
4) Switching up ur exercise. If ur exercising a lot, like i do, its tempting to exercise a lot while fasting too, to do even better. But getting so tired and shaky can demotivate u. Id say if u want to move, take a long slow walk, do a short yt exercise set. Fasting is already enough.
5) Sleeping. If u can, u might aswell just kind of sleep through it. While u sleep time is passing, ur resting, not obsessing over the fact that ur getting hungry. I take melatonin, get under a blanket and just take a long nap.
6) Stop thinking that food is going anywhere. Important. Ur fasting, ur mom just bought 3 bags of grocceries. You look at the food and feel like u need to eat it now, just bc its here. You know well that it isnt going anywhere, u can always go and buy it when ur done fasting. Its not gonna disappear, it will all be there when ur done.
7) Remembering ur goals. Being patient. This is something very important. You are aware that ur not gonna loose 20lbs overnight. But if u wait, if u stay patient and consistent, u WILL see ur weight drop. Dont throw it all away bc u weighed urself and the number is not moving. Also try to think about all the events u wanted to be skinny for. U wanted to be skinny for christmas, for ur bday, for the party u were going to. How about u do it this time? Do it as if ur getting ready for something already. Remind urself why ur doing this.
8) Distractions. Everyone talks about this, always. But it is actually helpful. Choose smth that is time consuming. Make a movie watchlist, watch them. Play a game. Do a room makeover. Read a whole book. Clear ur phone, organise it, delete old convos and photos. Go on clothing sites and look at all the xxs clothes u could wear. Organise ur make up and other products. Do facemasks or do ur haircare. Try on the clothes in ur wardrobe and think about how better they will fit u if u do this. Make lists! of ur goals, of benefits this will give u. Compare the situations, think about what will happen if u stop and when u continue.
9) Making excuses is easier than u think. It all depends on u. Of course some of us has families that make us eat at the table. DO EVERYTHING U CAN. Refuse, say u have eaten already, leave ur house and tell people ur going out to eat, say ur feeling nauseous. Stay strong and dont think u have to eat just bc someone is offering u. Talking about the sitting down to eat dinner at table situation, it might be hard. My tip, if u have to really, then eat the dinner. But dont let it make u think that u have to binge after it, cause its ,,ruined". And restart ur fast.
10) Mints, gum, brushing teeth. You would be suprised. Chewing ming gum (sugar free), flavored mints helps a lot. Buy urself a couple of packs and just chew on them when u feel like ur craving smth. Brushing ur teeth and having that fresh feeling in ur mouth really makes u less hungry, u kind of dont want to ruin it. I used to brush my teeth, drink a lot of water then chew a gum, take another one if it looses flavor.
Good luck! My messages are open if u want to talk about any of these points i've made, if u have questions about ur specific situation.

Im looking for a fasting bud or an ana bud in general, to share our daily intake, progress and (prefferably) weigh ins/ bmi progress.
Also for someone who ISNT afraid to give me meanspo, and be mean to me if i go over my limit! I dont need to give u the same thing if u dont want to, we can talk it out.
Looking to help each other, share tips.
