Water Fasting - Day 21 of 21 - Breaking the Fast - Pictures Before-After

[sy960]

Did you exercise at all?

[rexexdesign]

@sy960 Not extreme exercise, I did bike once a week for 30 mins to pick up my daughter, I walked a around a lot on campus and with my dogs, but thats about it. You really can't exercise a lot

[anngeejay07]

It's nice to see at least some people finishing the fast. Thanx for the videos.

[rexexdesign]

@anngeejay07 Thank you. I'm actually starting another fast tomorrow, if you're interested in fasting along, let me know!

[jonathanparis1988]

Did you gain back any weight? How much? Was the gain just "water weight"? I'm wondering how much fat is actually lost during a fast. How much of the weight loss is water and muscle?

[rexexdesign]

@jonathanparis1988 You lose about 80% fat, some water weight and some muscle. After 21 days I was fitter than ever though, I did weight training after that and did not notice any muscle decrease from during my fast! Watch my newer videos for updates

[DontFUckWitUSA]

@rexexdesign Im at day 2 and i still dont know how much water i should drink

[rexexdesign]

@DontFUckWitUSA There is no rule, but I drank close to a gallon. Basically drink whenever you are thirsty (or hungry in the beginning), yet you should at LEAST drink 2 liters. Drink distilled water, no mineral added water. I'm no doctor, so if you have concerns please see your physician.

[Tupoc4181]

Holey shit! 21 days. You look phenominal

[rexexdesign]

@Tupoc4181 Thanks!

[Tupoc4181]

@rexexdesign What part of your fast was the hardest? I'm about to go on a 10 day fast. Seeing everyone on youtube like yourself is pure motivation!

[rexexdesign]

@Tupoc4181 The first 2 days are the hardest, the rest is a breeze. Why don't you start with me on Feb 15th. I am going on a fast and then we can fast together, encourage each other? (watch my newest video for more info)

[TheSmokey96]

Are you only supposed to drink water or do you have to eat fruits and vegetables with it?

[rexexdesign]

@TheSmokey96 It's the simplest diet ever, all you do is drink water :)

[AweakenedKing]

@rexexdesign for 21 days ? Wont you die ?

[rexexdesign]

@AweakenedKing Since you commented on this video you can see I did just fine! I didn't eat 6 days before that, only drank juice, so for about 30 days I didn't eat anything solid. And I could have gone much longer still. If you drink water and you are in a healthy state, you can easily go 40-50 days without food (if you have fat reserves like me ;) Of course always consult a doctor before doing something this extreme!

[buttslayer91792]

i watch your videos everyday..im an 18 year old male who has trouble with binge eating..i have finally got the courage to go through with it..im on hour 7 and going to do 21 days..thank you for motivating me

[rexexdesign]

@buttslayer91792 Wow, very exciting! You can do it. Keep me posted

[maggerdaiser]

I got to 12 days of a water fast and I was getting terrible chest pains and as soon as I ate normal food the chest pains stopped. This time I have decided to go on a 7 day liver, colon and gall bladder detox with raw fruit juice and enemas and then go on an extended water fast. I think the fact that I was and am very toxic made me suffer for 12 days with the water fast.

[rexexdesign]

@maggerdaiser Sorry to hear that, but you are correct the water fast does have the best detox effect and if your body has poisons stored it will release those which can cause body aches. Maybe in your case it's better to go on a master cleanse or just juice fasting. Then in the future you can get the "rest" out by water fasting.

[ArtyAdamCS]

Hey thanks for the advice! 4 Litres? wow, that's a challenge, i have to admit, i drink a couple/ three glasses a day at most, and i have been this way for years, but i will definitely try and drink that much.. i am guessing when i am not eating, drinking water will be easier, thanks a lot :)



[rexexdesign]

@ArtyAdamCS Well when you eat you get water through a lot of your food, so you don't need to drink as much, but when you are on a water fast you should really drink that much, your body will need it! Keep me posted!

[ArtyAdamCS]

Hey, just watch this video, and a few others, been toying around with water fasting for a bit. i am starting tomorrow, i travel a fair bit for work, so shall take a two litre bottle with me tomorrow.. thanks a lot, hope this finds you well.

[rexexdesign]

@ArtyAdamCS Yes if you travel just bring sufficient water, per day at least drink 4 liters or a gallon. Glad to hear you are interested in water fasting!

[Nickyloveslove]

have you gain weight loss weight, what have you been eating lately, are you routinely doing the fast?~

[EntitySeventySeven]

Damn, you lost 1 1/2 lbs a day, that's great.

[iNeoKiwi]

Wow dude! I saw all of your videos right now and you've inspired me to start my fast today!

Day 1, here I go!

Thanks for posting these great vids! I wish you the best, bro! (:

[rexexdesign]

@iNeoKiwi That's awesome, I can't wait to hear of your success, you can do it too! Keep me updated!

[rexexdesign]

@Kari1991able very minimal, just walking and once a week I biked 30 mins to pick up my daughter, other than that you need to take it easy.

[TheLozano066]

CONGRATULATIONS! I COULDNT HELP FROM SMILING THE WHOLE VIDEO, I am soo happy for you for decidding to change your life, this new years resolution that is precisely my purpose. and I feel sooooo goooood!! much love brother !

[freshaashiq]

it is my 4th day and i have HEADACHE .. what should i do ?!

[rexexdesign]

@freshaashiq I am not a doctor, but I would not quit because of headaches, your body is switching over from using food as energy to using fats and proteins. Your brain especially is affected by this, because it needs a lot of energy quickly. In the beginning you will have more headaches. Another fact is that you are starting a detoxing process and when toxins are released you might have body aches and headaches. If you have unusual pain please see a doctor.

[uptownblk]

wow this is amazing. I'm currently 198lbs and you've reached my goal. I'm going to try this

[rexexdesign]

@uptownblk keep me posted!

[MoonRader85]

WHAT IS THE IMPACT WATER FASTING HAS ON MUSCLE?

[rexexdesign]

@MoonRader85 You lose a little bit of muscle, but if you have fat reserves like I did, those are used at a much higher rate.

[Opleda]

is stomach fat one of the last things to go?! i've lost weight everywhere, except my stomach is still there... when will i start to see it go away?

[Opleda]

So do you actually burn fat on a water fat? thats awesome! is it actually possible to lose 30 lbs in 3 weeks? I plan on doing a water fast starting tomorrow, and I really need to get my weight down. I'm currently 178 but my goal by christmas is 145 lbs! how do i do it? and how do i stick to a water fast?!

[rexexdesign]

@Opleda Yes, after about 3 days your body has used up all the glycogen (stored sugars) and switches over into Ketosis, where fat is broken down. Fat has VERY high energy and you should actually feel pretty good on the fast, you just can't do any exercise where you need energy quickly or prolonged. You could probably get down to 155 lbs in that time, but depends on your body. But if you plan to eat big Christmas don't do it, you need time for your body to get used to liquids and then slowly food.

[Princej4eva]

how much water u drink per day

[rexexdesign]

@Princej4eva About 3.8 liters or a gallon. But you should drink whenever you are thirsty.

[lagueratiffania]

I weigh 210 and I'am 5'7", I will start eating raw fruits and veggies this week and will start a 21 water fast next weekend, your videos have motivated me, congrats you look great!!!

[rexexdesign]

@lagueratiffania Thats awesome to hear, keep me posted!

[kit0nyc]

You look great! Good job!

[rexexdesign]

@kit0nyc thanks!

[newportbro949]

i'm on day 3 of the water fast. i plan on doing it for 30 days. i just stumbled upon your videos during my lunch break at work so i haven't been able to watch all of them. did you weigh yourself everyday? idk if i should keep it a surprise until the end.

[rexexdesign]

@newportbro949 Awesome, keep it up, after today it should get a lot easier. I weighed myself in the morning and at night, really motivated me!

[rexexdesign]

After a long fast, your intestines are not ready for food, they have shut down completely and it would be very difficult on your body to try to start it up and digest solid food. Not to mention you should start out slowly again to reduce the weight gain.

[therodiger]

What happens if you break your fast and eat something solid, like your skip the juice stuff???

[kimdukh]

Have I have a Question. I am determined to do water fasting for 30days, but I do go to school and work and I am afraid it will effect my studies. Will it effect lets say memory?

[rexexdesign]

@kimdukh I worked full time and was a full time senior in University, it worked fine for me. You can just give it a try and if it affects you too much, you can always stop the fast! Let me know how it goes, rooting for you!

[annatsukiya]

Do you ever exercise during water fasting?? i mean play football, jog or something... well u know, those activities need carbohidrat...

[rexexdesign]

@annatsukiya Not extreme exercise, I did bike once a week for 30 mins to pick up my daughter, I walked a around a lot on campus and with my dogs, but thats about it. You really can't exercise a lot, but you don't need to, your body uses enough energy up to cause the weight loss.

[therodiger]

how much water did you drink a day?

[rexexdesign]

@therodiger About 3.8 liters or a gallon. But you should drink whenever you are thirsty.

[Princej4eva]

i have a quetsion what kind of water did you use distilled or spring and how much water did you drink per day and how was it using the bathroom any suggestions on what i should do to use the bathroom during this im 5,11 and i weigh 240 pounds

[rexexdesign]

@Princej4eva I used reverse osmosis water because we already had that system installed. You can use distilled water, no problem, just don't use water that has minerals added. You have to drink a lot more, but I didn't notice going to the bathroom that much more, pretty normal. You will notice that you don't have to poop after about 2 days, I maybe had 2 bowl movements during the 3 weeks. Doing an enema might be good though, which will clean out the colon.

[Journey4AHealthierMe]

great job wow im also doing a 21 day water fast i started yesterday thank u for motivating me :-)

[rexexdesign]

@Journey4AHealthierMe Awesome, proud of you!

[MegaAnime94]

This is really inspiring i am 16 years old i am about to turn 17 i am 6'4 and i weight 199 pounds i got some extra weight and i would like to lose it should i do this? I am fascinated with the changes in just 21 days very impressive man keep it up.

[rexexdesign]

@MegaAnime94 Well thank you, I would suggest a max of 7 days for you, because you don't really have that much "extra" weight. Keep in mind, that the 2nd, or 3rd day could be tough, but the rest should be easy. Let me know how it goes!

[MegaAnime94]

@rexexdesign Thanks man i really appreciate it i will tell you how it goes every day if you want i am starting today i feel weird not eating today lol.

[zeta302]

How tall are you, if you don't mind me asking?

[rexexdesign]

@zeta302 Not tall :D 5'9"

[dmoney500able]

Thanks for the quick response.That was amazing to see your before and after photos!

[rexexdesign]

@dmoney500able Yea I still can't believe the difference myself... all I had to do was drink water, pretty amazing!

[dmoney500able]

Did you do any exercise while on the water fast?

[rexexdesign]

@dmoney500able Not extreme exercise, I did bike once a week for 30 mins to pick up my daughter, I walked a around a lot on campus and with my dogs, but thats about it. You really can't exercise a lot, but you don't need to, your body uses enough energy up to cause the weight loss.

[SwaggerSoSexy84]

Wow congrats. U look really cute.

[rexexdesign]

@SwaggerSoSexy84 Thanks! I am doing another fast right now, if you want to follow that one as well!

[CoryCrushMusic]

Hi! I had been low carb for weeks and was already in ketosis (used Ketone Test Strips to confirm) for a few weeks when I decided to embark on my own Water Fast 3 days ago. In the last 4 days I have lost 10 lbs! I just want you to know that your posts really inspired me. I started at 194 and want to get down to 165 (my high school weight). I'm 28 yrs old, male.

[305montana]

Hey men but in those.21 day did you do excercise??

[msmchy]

Wow, great job! You look healthy!

[TheBellaCph]
