My energy was off, I didn’t feel aligned with myself, and that's a feeling I’ve been facing more often these past few months. I was frustrated with myself, for falling short in my health, nutrition, focus, and self-love. Deep down, I knew I needed to break the pattern.
I had already tried small changes, but at this stage in my life, that just wasn’t enough. I needed something bigger. A challenge.
With an exciting day coming up this week, one that I know will bring me new insights, I thought: the more clear and detoxed I feel, the better. That’s when it clicked… Why not do a water fast?
Not for 1 or 2 days, but 3. On Saturday at 10:00 pm, I had my last meal and then the fast began.
For those who don’t know: fasting has some powerful benefits. Humans weren’t built to eat 4, 5, or even 6+ times a day. Taking a break from food does far more good than harm.
Here are just a few benefits:
🔄 Cell renewal – autophagy clears out damaged cells
💉 Better insulin sensitivity – balances blood sugar
🔥 Lower inflammation – reduces disease risk
🧠 Sharper focus – mental clarity and energy
⏳ Longevity boost – activates pathways linked to a longer life
Of course, there were challenges too. The hardest moments came at night, lying in bed hungry. What helped me push through was drinking water with Celtic sea salt, which made me feel ‘full’ just long enough.
Today at 12:00 pm, after 86 hours, I had my first meal again (see photo). Breaking a 3.5-day water fast with a small meal felt incredible. And it reminded me how important it is to ease back in, because your digestive system has been on pause for days.
But honestly, this post isn’t about listing benefits, sharing my weight loss, or bragging. It’s about perspective. About showing that sometimes, when you feel stuck, all it takes is one bold reset to break the cycle and build momentum again.
I truly believe this fast gave me back the energy and clarity I was missing, and it’s exactly what I needed to keep building the life I envision.
And maybe for you, fasting could be that reset too. It’s simpler than you think, as long as you’ve got a clear “why” in mind.
Stay limitless ✌️
