In a word....no. My wife complains I am irritable if I don't eat for 6 hours! I would end up in the dog kennel if I did any longer. Besides, it sounds really unhealthy!0

No essential protein and fats for 3 days? What are you jump starting by doing that?

Sounds like a terrible idea and a good way to crash your metabolism right before you start a new diet lol.
Probably blame that on the new diet, no doubt.0 -
Good Lord, why??0

I need to have a fasting blood draw done and for the last two weeks have been trying to work up to a 14-hour fast. I don't think there's any way I could do a 72-hour fast, even if I wanted to.0

Hello thanks for all of your responses, but I really needed a fasting buddy, Is there anyone out there?0

you would be better off jump starting with a 24 hour fast and then going to lean gains or eat stop eat...what form of IF are you going to do?
I do lean gains 18/6 and I have never done 72 hour fast...and at 72 hours is when your body really does start to go into starvation mode and starting looking for other stores i.e. muscle to burn for energy ..
Do a 24 hour fast and then stick to your IF protocol....
Try this^^^^...better for you and it works great...I do a 24 hr fast once a week...say on tuesday I eat dinner at 5pm....I dont eat again until Wednesday at 5pm...one meal less than 1000 cals...0 -
My parole officer requires me to get a minimum of 1100 calories every day lest we have a repeat of The Incident.
I kid, I kid. But I seriously do get cranky when I don't eat. So no.
Sounds like the newest Snickers commercial LOL.
To OP:
1) I don't fast for 3 days because it can do more harm than good
2) I do not follow any "diet" - I am eating healthier, and changing my habits, which is a lifelong goal.
I do, however, wish you well in your pursuits.0 -
Why would you not want to eat for three days straight? That makes absolutely no sense to me. You do not "jump start" your body, it's not a car. And if you're doing it to "keep on track" from having a run of bad days - if you couldn't eat well while eating, what makes you think you can do it while starving yourself?0

Sounds like hell.
I wouldn't even skip a meal for you, much less three whole days of deliciousness. :noway:0 -
Not me!
If I "fast" for more than two hours, I get real cranky.0 -
You should listen. Hobbits know about food.0 -
that sounds like a terrible idea to me0

Who wants to drive across the country with me with my gas tank empty?0

I've done that before.. would do it again but I'm doing Insanity and would NOT be able to continue those workouts without eating. Good Luck!!0

Just start your plan. Why would you want to screw yourself up and make things difficult for 3 days before starting a new lifestyle?0 -
You are crazy!!! How do you think that's going to get you anywhere faster??? I think you should re-consider this terrible idea!0

:drinker: Hello, I want to start doing a Intermitted fast ongoing daily. But want to jump start it by doing a three day water fast. Any body with me? Any diet that you follow afterwards Is good by me. Lets just fast for three days first!
Sure, lets do some blood letting to jump start our humors too, and maybe a lobotomy to jump start our positive thinking.0
