Another thing my 50hr fast showed me

It showed me what it’s like to “really be hungry” :slightly_smiling_face:

Since breakfast, I had a couple small hunger signals… Probably my body wanting to catch back up…
But nope. If I just went 50 hours, I can certainly go 8 or 10 hrs until dinner :slightly_smiling_face:

I love this one! I once broke a fast on day four or five because I was hungry in a way that I hadn’t ever been before. Probably still wasn’t that extreme, but I remember noticing that it was much more insistent - not just passing hunger pains but constant hunger for several hours. It definitely put tiny, fleeting hunger pangs in perspective :slight_smile:

I notice after over 48 hr. fasting, everything tastes sooooooo good to me.

I think part of my lifelong problem, is that everything has tasted good to me my whole life ! :slight_smile: lol I know it sounds like I’m being facetious… But my GF says all the time, I must taste food more than she does, as I’ll start eating something I like, and I start squirming around and doing “the happy dance” :slight_smile: lol My GF clowns me, and cracks up every time I do this :slight_smile:

Kind of the opposite for me. I start to get picky when breaking a fast. I like to keep the first 2 hours simple. Like bone broth, simple arugula, olives, EVOO salad and maybe ground beef.

Okay maybe that does not sound so simple. But I’m leaving this comment here.

OH I am picky too, just everything going in my mouth tastes so much better after not eating for an EX. I often use the small green salad with fatty dressing and later having a regular meal. That works best for me. I don’t go overboard, just everything tastes delish then.

Lol…this is so me. My family has always laughed at me because I cannot help making constant little happy sounds while I eat.
