February Zorn Fast 2018

(8 year Ketogenic Veteran) #1

This month’s group fast.
Thursday February 15th through Sunday February 18.
I started practicing monthly fasts February of 2016. I still gain great benefit.
Zornfasts are normally the third week of each month.
Join if you’d like, we’ll support each other here.
I always do a water fast. (water/ black coffee & tea). The definition of a fast is open to your interpretation and needs. Some will need to do a fat fast. There are benefits to that type of fast as well. I fast to target visceral (organ) fat and to promote autophagy. Fasting also releases HGH for muscle growth. I follow Dr. Jason Fung. Matter of fact, his book "The Obesity Code " is what started my venture into fasting nearly two years ago.
Because of the ketogenic diet I am no longer diabetic. Fasting managed to further improve my health dramatically since I have included it in my health regime. It has increased my insulin sensitivity.

You may want to include this drink during your fast (or some version of it). I drink 2 bottles a day while fasting.

I’m currently doing a lot of fasting before I have to be in a swimsuit for 5 days with coworkers… :flushed:

I’m fasting now and will be joining for part of the fast! I’m changing up my fasting routine - instead of choosing a number of days, I’m fasting until I reach a certain weight! (Ex: Right now I’m fasting til I get into the 130’s.)

I re-strained my hamstring last week so lifting weights isn’t an option right now…so I figure it’s a great time to do some extra fasting!

Thanks @Brenda for setting up another fast! I started early because I just listened to last year’s podcast with Megan. So I’m doing what Carl did-Feast, 3 Day Fast, 3 Day Feast, 1 day fast. We will see where I end up!

Good luck everybody! KCKO

I’m definitely in on the Zorn fast (or in my case, Lucille fast). I am trying for more often than once a month also.
One thing that has been helpful to me is to have plenty of nice cold water on hand in the refrigerator, I have 32oz containers and have a bunch filled and chilled at the beginning of a fast.

#14

Yes - I think I will join in too!

#15

I’m in! This will be my first fast in 4 months. Looking forward to it!
