Finallyā¦ A looooooong meal but OMAD unless I mess it up but I really shouldnāt, I donāt lack energy for sure.
Fasting Friday on Valentine day? It sounds tempting, I had other plans (after a long wait I will get my beef order tomorrow!!!) but we will seeā¦ I donāt like Valentine day, I like Halloween, I celebrate it all year long, almost all the rooms has Halloween stickers, the kitchen is full with spiders (mostly live ones but I have some huge plastic ones too. I love spiders)
Fasting is (very very close to) zero calories to me but of course, each to their own. I canāt consider fasting when one drinks a 500 kcal coffee though. Pure fat is the most innocent and I am not super strict on IF but if I do a 48 fast, that must be only water, tea and maybe coffee. Theoretically, when I must break my fast, that should be fat first, fat fast second as they are closer to fasting than eating my normal food (and there is a way smaller chance to get very hungry and to eat a lot) but if I happen to get hungry so I break my fast, I always go all the way, at least it was in the past. Maybe it will be different next time
Stomach/gut growling never annoyed me but itās very hard for me to get it in the first 24-45 hours (it happens, sometimes super early, already in my 16th hour but itās very rare), itās the same with hunger if am determined to fast. I think I am lucky and should fast more, it suits me and itās not like I have a good chance to lose fat without lots of IF and some EFā¦ But the right diet helps a lot with control and satiation (if I am not satiated, I have not much control, after all) so I am hopeful now, again.
My trigger is mealtime. But a very good diet helps, I just mess up things when my options arenāt good enough. I do my best to avoid that in the future.
I am never bored (how could I, the world is so interestingā¦ I have to stand in a row with a headache to get bored) and whenever I want to consume something but I donāt need energy, I drink tea or something similarā¦ I drink a lot but I am thirsty a lot too. Itās nice, I have an okay tea collection.
