February Zorn Fast 2018

(Jon H.) #144

20 hours and 22 min. and on cruise control or maybe auto pilot if this is a cruise.

(Lonnie Hedley) #145

21.5 hours. Just ready to get out of work. Much less boredom at home. And a puppy!

#146

I’m somewhere around 46 hours, feeling great.

(Lonnie Hedley) #147

I feel fine, just bored haha.

#148

I went keto Dec 2012 and it basically took me 3-1/2 years to lose and maintain a 30 lb loss. I quit drinking wine and all alcohol and lost another 30 lb in 3-1/2 months.

#149

I was off from work today so I painted my bathroom to stay busy.

Aengus gets brushed, but so far his fur doesn’t seem like he’s going to need it cut. That little sausage was 22.2lbs yesterday. He’s getting bigger than I had anticipated.

I too find I get bored while fasting.

#153

I’m in. Starting now. First Zorn Fast.
Aiming for 96. Water and salt.
And meditation. And sleep. And walks.
Let’s see. It’s nice to know I have your company
and support. :blossom:

I use course ground sea salt About every hour or so I place a few grains under my tongue. I also sometimes take “Calm” (a magnesium supplement) other times I’ll take a bath with Epsom salts.

I found I was still able to fast when I had the flu. But I kept them shorter (46 to 64 hours).

(John Somsky aka KetoGrinder) #156

I’m at 115 hours in. I was feeling a little off this morning, and thought maybe I’d have to stop. But I doubled down on water and salt and I’m feeling fine now. I think I just got dehydrated overnight. Since I started my fast on Saturday night, I’ve lost 9 pounds and my Ketones are at 4.7 mmol/L. (I normally bounce between 1 -2 mmol/L when I’m not fasting).

Good Fasting all.

I was thinking about that today… I’m realizing how often eating is just a distraction, a break, or a boredom-fix. When I’ve had moments of “thinking about food” today (vs actual hunger), I’ve been able to step back and recognize/acknowledge that it’s mostly just a boredom itch.

This cold is kicking my ass. I feel horrible. Also starving. At 22hrs.

#160

I wanted to join in on the fast but I don’t think it’s a good idea this time bc I’ve been sick all week with upper respiratory/ flu. I’m taking Tamiflu and it requires that I eat with it.
I have a question: about a month ago, I did my first 5 day fast and was really proud of myself. I lost about 5 lbs. Immediately after, I gained it all back. I have been super-hungry. After that, I tried the alternate day method of fasting for about 10 days. That did not work for me at all. On the days, I was eating, I couldn’t control myself and overate on carbs and food in general. Since then, I’ve gained 5 more lbs.
So I’m trying to stick to strict keto for now. I also think my body might be under a lot of stress from being sick.
Any thoughts, I welcome all input

Me as well! I’ve also had to catch myself absentmindedly grabbing whatever I was making for the family.

(Justin Cain Hoffman ) #162

You guys are awesome, I feel great! I’ve been IF a few times, but only at 16:8. I’m about to successfully finish 24hrs in about 2.5hrs!!! I apologize for the newbie question for the moment. :confused: If I consumed bcaa’s while working out earlier, does that turn this fast into boo boo?
