I did a 72 hour water fast and it was so refreshing !

And wow! You more than halved your size. That is absolutely incredible.

Yeah it's wild, here's a before and after: http://imgur.com/hHtyMPF Training to climb Mt. Rainier later this summer--something I could never have imagined being possible 2 years ago.
During your fast period, do you drink water or abstain from all consumption?
For 16:8 fasting it's just water (I like using a sodastream to make seltzer water) and black coffee. Maybe a tea if I want to mix something up. Never any sugar, cream or other things added to coffee/tea. For the 72 hour fasts it's the same but I have a couple cups of bone broth during the day. It's a minimal amount of calories (~100-200 cals) but more importantly helps get more electrolytes, which I've noticed can be trickier to manage while fasting.
You look good! Can you give a sample of your meal?
Just... Wow. Well done my dude, well done!
That's an impressive change - props!
