The thing I miss the most about eating is eating

i miss eating too... until i do, then i miss fasting lol

I'm certainly not ready for a month long fast, but I have yet to complete any water-only fasts. I think a few 24-hour water fasts throughout the month would be something to work towards. Good luck for anyone else who is more of a hardcore-parkour water faster than myself.I'm certainly not ready for a month long fast, but I have yet to complete any water-only fasts.

I am in, just saw this message. I started 4/9 and will go to 5/9 (maybe more)

In. Starting tomorrow.

Congrats on new territory!

"natural hygiene vol iii" by Shelton is my fasting bible.

Here.

I'm here I just joined today????????????

:)

We are really doing this!!!! Cmon! Let's get itttt! About 90 hours. Wooooot

In two hours we will be at 96 hours. I hope everyone is doing okay with resisting the psychological need to eat. This too shall pass

I have been dreading saying this but I had a meal late last night. Am bummed but slept the best I have in days and no longer feel sick. I will continue to watch this fast play out because I think you are all so amazing at how well you are all doing.

Happy Day 6 Everyone! I saw Pyx update her log this morning! Anybody else still with us?

I have to admit...I had to bow out gracefully. I got no excuses.. I was doing a lot of service work at my church, pulling a lawn aerator , raking and I needed the energy. All good :) ready for next one. Peace to all who are still in and out. Was a good show lads and lasses.I have to admit...I had to bow out gracefully. I got no excuses..

I was thinking I need to drop the coffee too but I agree with you that it is all that I have to look forward to throughout the day. A couple of cups in morning, a couple in afternoon. How many do you have and have you reduced at all or just going cold turkey with the coffee?I was thinking I need to drop the coffee too but I agree with you that it is all that I have to look forward to throughout the day.

I managed to go down from 5 to 3 per day, but I also had hot water infused with ginger and lemon (no sweetner/dairy added), and I had a mug of tea (with sweetner, without milk/cream). I don't know what to do because I also need to socialize and I got a really bad case of dead kittens breath going on here.I managed to go down from 5 to 3 per day, but I also had hot water infused with ginger and lemon (no sweetner/dairy added), and I had a mug of tea (with sweetner, without milk/cream).

Didn't know caffeine makes you lose salt. Thanks for the info! I take 3 pills a day of magnesium/pottasium aspartate and yesterday I added a 1/5th spoon of tablesalt too. Maybe that's why I feel better toay.

Your parents sound kind of supportive; well, at least not completely appalled by the idea of fasting, as mine probably would be if I told them I eat pretty much just one meal a day. And they also notice your losing inches, although you may not notice I think it's good to get reassurance from others that some progress is being made, even if it's small and still far away from the end goal. It's steps in the right direction, still.

My dad is the person who introduced me to fasting. I was 15 and suffering from a PCOS mega weight gain, and he'd been battling with weight issues ever since one of his disks snapped, so we went together to a workshop that encouraged fasting to lose weight.

I want to do 7 days minimum, and then take it day by day. Ideally, I'd be uber happy to hit 40 or 60 days, but I keep in mind that my longest ever had been 22 days and I'm trying to take care of myself rather than break goals for my ego.My dad is the person who introduced me to fasting.

Can't edit, so wanted to add: I'm 32 now.

Wow, so you've been onto fasting for quite long! That's impressive. My longest fast ever was 7 days a few years back but I found I couldn't fit extended fasting with my day-to-day life and prefer to keep my routine than change it in order to fast long fasts.
Do you chew gums when fasting? Could be helpful perhaps for the breath? A super intense mouthwash perhaps?Wow, so you've been onto fasting for quite long! That's impressive.

PopFnordette - I chew gum before jo b interviews or small meetings a work, where I know I'll be close enough physically for others to notice. Put a piece in my mouth, give it no more than 10 chews, spit it out. I used to use Listerine mouth wash but I stopped because it makes the bad breath come back with a vengeance after a short while. Just bought some herbal stuff today, I'll see if that helps better and report.

FastingDrunk - haha, thanks! For proper fast breaking my preference is turkey throat broth along with the meat of the turkeys and some hard boiled eggs. I've experienced with various ways to break long fasts and that's what works best for me so far, as well as keeps me in ketosis.PopFnordette - I chew gum before jo b interviews or small meetings a work, where I know I'll be close enough physically for others to notice.
