APRIL 2021 IF/EF Chat Thread (All Welcome)

#21

Just passed 42.5 hrs. and just waiting for lunch to finish cooking. So breaking now myself. :slight_smile: :+1:

Hey everyone. I do 23/1 and usually EF for about 36-48 hours a week.

(KCKO, KCFO šŸ„„) #23

Pasted the 24 hr. mark for my second 42 hr. fast. So far so good. I am keeping busy with other things besides eating and the obtaining of foodstuffs. LOL.

I am starting to see people out and about that havenā€™t been around for the last year, and yea, they have gotten vaccinated. The weather is also warning up and I am also spending more time outdoors as well.

Glad to see everyoneā€™s progress.

#24

Yep, that seems to be happening everywhereā€¦ hopefully a bit of relief from all the craziness.

I too will be out more, at least in my yard. Probably till the garden in the next couple days, since itā€™s raining presently. If itā€™s too wet tomorrow, maybe Monday evening.

#26

The nearby wildlife park is always full with people (at least the part closest to the entrance, itā€™s a big area) when the weather is nice, nothing changed there except itā€™s spring now so itā€™s even more popularā€¦
I always need my walks but now I visit all the nearby places I like, one forest is a bit boring except when it has lots of primroses or orchises and now itā€™s primrose time. Another has us in wild leek timesā€¦

Meanwhile I still have problems to combine carnivore and IF (TMAD with a 3-6 hour eating window would be nice, thatā€™s the most natural for me when I can eat proper amounts). Todayā€™s lunch was early and small again (weekend days are trickier anyway) but I didnā€™t lose all hope yet.
Zornfast is coming! I probably will start on Monday, weekdays are way easier for me now.

Well, I had hoped to try a 36 hour fast this week. But worked on a home project on Saturday that took all day (7am-5pm, other than eating my first MAD at about 10:30am). Then got up Sunday morning and replaced my snow tires/rims with summer tires/rims. Was so hungry I ate breakfast thereafter. Thatā€™s the first breakfast Iā€™ve eatenā€¦since I donā€™t remember when.

Now, it looks like weā€™re going on an actual 2-day vacationā€¦in a hotel. Weā€™ll see how that goes. Not sure I can combine this schedule with fasting, but maybe tomorrow I can try for 36 hours. Iā€™ve been having difficulty fasting the day after exercising, but weā€™ll seeā€¦

Didnā€™t make it to the 42 hr. point on that second fast, so I just ate two meals that day, And am fasting again today. Which happens to be the beginning of Ramadan, so hopefully I can pick up on some good fasting vibe, LOL.

I did get well off my bounce up so it is all good.

#29

Well Iā€™m back at it today as well. Wasnā€™t sure if I was going to Fast today or not, or just do OMAD? But Iā€™m currently at 26 hrs. so Iā€™m just going to roll with it and possibly eat something tomorrow. Weā€™ll see.

#30

Little passed 46.5 now, so will be breaking soon as Dinner is done cooking, so it will put me at 47 hrs.

Happy Fasting Folksā€¦

(KCKO, KCFO šŸ„„) #31

I have decided to try alternate day fasting. Been doing that is week and so far, so good. Came off of a big bounce up, to within 1 lb. of my goal range. There is a good podcast # 179 on KetoWoman.com, Daisy and Karen Ogilvie talking about alternate day fasting if anyone is interested in learning more about it.

KCFO everyone.

#32

Actually decided to do an Ultra-Rare early meal today, being I have a lot planned and hope to be out of the office all day. Just eating before heading out to get it out the way for the day. OMAD. - Also, with the Wifeā€™s surgery this week, I will off some days this week and next, so think I may start a Fast as well

(Laurie) #33

Best wishes for the surgery!

#34

Thanks, sheā€™s quite a bit nervous about getting it done, but with all the issues sheā€™s been having here lately, she needs to do something. From constant pain, numbness, shock feelings, no strength, etcā€¦ They say some of it is nerve related so will be making two incisions, one at the elbow and the other from her palm down her arm a waysā€¦ Recovery is said to be 12 - 18 months. Sucks.

(Bob M) #35

That length of recovery does suck. Letā€™s hope she gets well faster or at least feels a lot better.

#36

Thanks Bob, weā€™re hoping so too. First few weeks might be tough on her the most, but they say full recovery will take some time indeed. Itā€™s the re-growing of the nerves that takes time I believe. :crossed_fingers:

(KCKO, KCFO šŸ„„) #37

Hoping all goes well. And wishing her a speedy and successful recovery.

#38

Thank you @collaroygal

#39

Presently at 30 hrs., but wasnā€™t planning a longer Fast and will be breaking in a few hours. So should be around the 33-34 hr. mark. - Had dropped in a couple pieces of Top Sirloin into the Sous Vide yesterday afternoon, so it will be around 24 hrs. when I get home later.

#40

Just mentioning it here, since I spoke on it. But they cancelled my Wifeā€™s surgery because one of the offices failed to forward the information that was requested and didnā€™t provide the stress test on her heart that also requested. So the anesthesiologist refused to put her under without this data. ā€¦ So we wasted a whole day yesterday driving all the way there for the pre-surgery Covid Test, and now we do not know when we can get it scheduled. Wifeā€™s been on the phone with them most of the day. Sucks.

I have a colonoscopy and endoscopy scheduled Tuesday, and I started my fast a day early. I am at 27 hours. My sleeping pills are kicking in and my brain is screaming EAT!
