Buddy up?

I plan on breaking at dinner this evening as well (96hrs) as I have a treat planned for the weekend. At least I hope it is still a treat (used to be my favorite) since I haven’t had it since going keto. This will be my first indulgence so not sure what to expect.
Great job everyone. I have enjoyed this fasting journey with you all.

You too @mtncntrykid, hope you have a great weekend.

I’m trying out a week feasting and then a Monday-Saturday fast. I’ve done it before, but I’m changing things up to keep my body guessing.

I’m closing in on the 5 day mark now, hardest day so far, everything up until now was smooth sailing!

I was a bit wiped this morning so I took my multivitamins and had some salt and felt good to go, but then on my walk (it’s hot here!) I got a bit tired again, but had a bit more salt again and had got all my energy back and felt the same as I had the last couple of days. I think it was dehydration which I think I need to do better at in the heat.

My stomach has been grumbling all day as well, but I walked through the shops and a food court and I don’t feel hungry, if that makes any sense.

Tossing up calling it a day and easing out of fasting, but I can’t tell if today is simply dehydration and what happens at day 5 for me or whether its a sign I should eat…

I feel your pain. You’ve done great @DanS no matter what!


(Dan S) #47

thanks mate! feeling better, pushing on!


(Dan S) #48

I called it at 5 and a half days! Pretty happy with the first performance haha


#49

Awesome job @DanS. Got to be happy with that!


#50

Feasted like a beast this weekend. Back to fasting today. Hope everyone has a good week.


(Teresa (turtle)) #51

Same here! Started at 11:00 last night. We’ll see how long I go this time around. We got this @Cwolly!


#52

Awweee yeaaaah! We do!


#53

Slept like garbage last night. Got up to use the bathroom 4 times!!! Day 2 feeling good despite the lack of sleep.


(Teresa (turtle)) #54

Sitting at hour 34 and feeling quite well. Drinking black coffee and water with NaCl (sodium chloride) and KCl (potassium chloride) added. I actually had a very good night’s sleep although was only asleep for 6 hours. I was able to get up with the first alarm and my FitBit showed that of those six hours, I had 1 hour 39 minutes of deep sleep which is a record for me!
@Cwolly I am wishing you better more restful sleep tonight! :slightly_smiling_face:


#55

Thanks, @Knapper88 and great job! I’m not sure why my body insists on dumping all water in the middle of the night :joy:


(Dan S) #56

Great work @Knapper88 ! I’m going to start again, going for a 4 day fast… 20 hours in at the moment :slight_smile:


(Teresa (turtle)) #57

Thanks Dan! :slightly_smiling_face: I am hoping to (finally) beat my fasting record of 113 hours, a full 5 days would be great! Social obligations derailed it last week. I will just have to wait and see…
@DanS Let’s go!!


#58

Day 3, much better sleep last night. Wondering why my ankle is sore, but did a 2 mile walk last night so something is going on there. Hope everyone has a nice food free day.


(Teresa (turtle)) #59

Have you ever hurt that sore ankle in the past? If so, the fasting and autophagy may be deeply healing that ankle which will in turn bring on the soreness. :woman_shrugging:


#60

Yeah that’s what they tell me. I might just be getting old hahaha.


#61

Stopped at 4 days. Two 4 day weeks in a row. I’m happy with that.
