At Ramadan
Wake up, eat breakfast at 4 am Go to work, come back home Fall asleep, don’t wake up at the correct time, Come home, fall asleep, wake up late once more, break my fast because I gave up
4:00 to 21:00, sleep from 16:00 to 5:00, forget to break the fast, 6:00 to 20:00, finally break the fast
17 hours + 12 hours = about 30 hours
Even more if you include sleep (45 hours)
I used to fast 36 hours a week, but I am sure the 4 day migraines are the longest (can’t even drink water without puking). Unless it was that one time we all got the flu, 10 days, but we did drink stuff with calories to stay alive.
So:
From poverty or ED never more than a day. Plenty of skipped meals and undereating but no long stretches with nothing.
Voluntarily fasting, only a couple of days
From sickness 4 days or 10 days, depending on how you define not eating.
32 hours after making a dumb bet. It messed up my appetite for months afterwards. I got $20 though. Not worth it.
I accidentally intermittent fast all the time, adhd brain along with weird lunch pattern at work. I think at this point, I should just say I do it to sound cool.
A bit over 24 hours probably. No eating or drinking, mostly because I forgot to eat supper the previous night then stayed in bed the next day
I’ll do the occasional 72 hour fast. A 24 hour fast once a month. These days I change the 72 hour to a 48 hour then blood test every hour or two until I see a blood sugar rise. That’s when the body starts to cannibalize muscle tissue so I stop.
probably like 18 hours max
Covid had be bedridden for about 3 days and feeling too sick to eat, and living on my own I had nobody to help me.
About 6000 kilometres :p
About 4 days. multiple times. I was really poor once. I used to take Tylenol and Tums to keep away the hunger pains, and I am surprised I still have a liver and kidneys.
19-ish hours. I practice intermittent fasting and sometimes I unintentionally go over my standard 16 hours because I’m busy doing something and I forget.
8 day fast. Water only. I was living and eating horribly at the time. I needed a drastic reset and it worked very well.
They do this in ayahuasca ceremonies also. Cleans the body from a lot of toxic shit.
Did a 3 day fast once.
It was actually amazing. The last 8 hours were where it got rough, but from hours 12 to 66, I basically wasn’t even hungry because my body entered ketosis. Did full keto for a month afterwards because I was already there. Dropped 15lbs and felt like a golden god for months afterwards. I’ve done some 36-48 hour fasts since then, but even 48 hours isn’t the same thing.
Like… less than 24 hours
I ain’t trying to be the next Gandhi
10 hours, but I’m also a fatty.
Back in college, my buds & I did a road trip across America, so of course we stopped at the Grand Canyon. Breakfast was just a peanut butter & bread “sandwich”, at which point we started hiking down the canyon. If you’ve ever been, they have numerous signs saying “Do not go past this point unless you are packing food”. But hey, we’re college kids, and we’re not going to go THAT much farther… Long story short, that night the rangers had to chaperone us as we fucking crawled back out. One of us ‘got’ to ride in a helicopter to the medical building. For the other 3 of us who could still move, they manged to find a dusty MRE at the last way station. That was the absolute best chicken & pea soup in a tin foil bag I have ever eaten in my life.
Woof, those choper rides aint cheap. That is exactly why all the signs/books/guides say “dont go past this point, unless you know what your doing” and “only stupid people do the rim to river and back in a day”. My folks and I did that last one back in the day, it was fun, but dont try it (seriously dont). It took us 20 hours and almost didnt make it back before sunset.
The best part of that hike is thanks to my mother, who froze an extra water bottle and hid it in each of our bags before we set out at sunrise. We are hiking back on the bright angel trail and get to the waysation half way up and find it. Its 3PM, at the height of summer in the grand canyon, and my father and I are sitting around drinking ice water, I have never see more envious hikers in my life.
