When did FouseyTube start his journey?

Erakat shared a post on March 2 to inform his followers about starting the water fast. “For the next 30 days, I will be doing a WATER-ONLY FAST, completely alone in a cabin. I will be fasting normally for Ramadan from Sunrise to Sunset and then to break my fast am only allowed water, black coffee and electrolytes,” he wrote.

He added a list of things that he claimed he needed to avoid, such as food, vape, and human interaction.

“I didn’t prep for this. No tapering down food. No easing off nicotine. I’m dropping everything at once—and you get to watch it all happen in real-time,” he added.

He further said that ChatGPT was in charge of creating his daily routine and “survival challenges.”

FouseyTube's recent revelation:

After his March 2 post, he regularly shared updates with his fans and followers. On March 31, he shared a post announcing the conclusion of his water fast.

“Day 30 of my 30 Day Water Fast. It’s not until you look back at where you started that you realize how far you’ve come. There’s so much I could say—but I’m physically, mentally, and spiritually drained in a way words can’t describe,” Erakat wrote. He concluded with images of his before and after physic - and they capture his incredible transformation.
