Fasting accountability buddy. Anyone up for it?


(Beth) #1

Hi there. I’ve been doing a lot of feasting! My husband and I just got back from a vacation where we ate way too much keto food and I’ve crept up a few lbs.

Is there anyone out there in the ketosphere who would like to fast 3 days with me next week and help me stay accountable? I prefer to fast during the week while my mind is busy with work.

Hey! I was hoping you’d get some replies today but I guess no one so far.
I’d be happy to be your fasting buddy but I’m not planning on a longer fast until later in the month (though I’ll likely fast on Monday and Thursday next week for 36-ish hours each time).

You know about the monthly fasting thread? Lots of folks check in so it’s nice for company and accountability.

@bej10 I’ll be your fasting buddy! My husband is going out of town so it’s perfect

Awesome, thank you Madeleine! Let’s definitely shoot for Monday. I’d like to try for at least 3 days straight.

Fantastic Melissa! Are you up for Mon-Wed or Mon-Thurs. I’ve never gone longer than 3 days. I’d be up for it if you want to try that. Let me know.


#6

Sounds good. I’ll follow the thread and will be cheering on you and Melissa midweek!

Right now Mon.-Wed. Is my weekly routine till I drop down at or near maintenance. So, sure!


(MelissaH) #8

It’s a perfect time for me since I feel like I’m coming down with something at the moment. The longest I’ve gone is 26 hours so it should be interesting. Are you doing a water fast?


(MelissaH) #9

@Mglasbrener you fast every week mon-wed? So 48 hours a week?


(Beth) #10

This is all great. I’m looking forward to joining you all on Monday!

3x24 plus 1 extra night right now… so abut 80 plus or minus a bit…


(Mike Glasbrener) #12

Nope. I get cream in my coffee every morning. Personal choice…


(MelissaH) #13

Today is the day :smile::smile: let’s do this!!!


(Beth) #14

Day 1 started! I’m just having coffee and water. :grinning:

Hi @Monurse and @bej10! Checking in at the start of my day.
I think Bej is in the UK (?) so probably not the start of your day anymore! How’s it going?

Good morning Madeleine! I’m in Maryland and looking forward to our fast.


#17

ah - got it! Don’t know why I had the impression you were in England :slight_smile:

Happy fasting morning to you both!


(MelissaH) #18

Good morning! Starting a fast while sick… what am I thinking??:rofl: maybe it will make it easier


(Beth) #19

Oh my. Maybe there is something to the old phrase, “starve a cold”. Hopefully you get better quickly!


#20

Yes, it should make it easier! Also might make you recover more quickly :slight_smile:
Do you have a length that you’re aiming for?
