Instead of eating to break his Ramadan fast, Yousef Saleh Erakat only drank water, black coffee and electrolytes.
YouTuber Yousef Saleh Erakat, better known as FouseyTube, has been making waves on social media with his impressive physical transformation. During Ramadan, he took on an extreme challenge by following a water-only diet for a month while fasting from sunrise to sunset. Instead of eating to break his fast, he only drank water, black coffee and electrolytes.
Throughout the 30-day challenge, Yousef shared daily updates on Instagram to give a glimpse of his journey. On March 2, he introduced his water fast to his followers: “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."

Yousef went into the challenge without preparing his body. He didn’t cut down on food or nicotine before starting, saying, “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 further said that he used ChatGPT to create his daily routine and “survival challenges" like tests of endurance, ice or hot baths, and outdoor tasks.

By Day 3, Yousef was already struggling with nicotine withdrawals. “Not gonna lie, yesterday was tough. But it wasn’t because I was hungry—it was because I gave up everything all at once," he admitted. The nicotine withdrawal was the hardest part for Yousef.
“I acted childishly and had a childish-like anger/panic attack. I lashed out, I was frustrated, and honestly, it wasn’t a good look," he added.

As the fast went on, Yousef’s body started to adjust. On March 31, after completing the 30-day fast, Fousey shared his final thoughts. “Day 30 of my 30-Day Water Fast. It’s not until you look back at where you started that you realise 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," Yousef wrote. He also shared the before-and-after images which showed his remarkable transformation.
