Today I broke my first 5-day fast. I drank water, coffee with a small amount of HWC, and took a few hits of salt throughout the fast if I felt a small headache coming on during the early days. I was considering going to seven days but the last two days have been a mental battle for me. My issue was I felt perfectly fine. I know that sounds weird but I kept thinking why do I feel OK? How can I not be hungry? Do I really need to eat at all? I don’t feel human. I definitely psyched myself out a bit. Breaking the fast was no big deal. I made a batch of brussel sprouts with bacon 
and later in the evening a glass of red wine and lettuce wrapped burger with avocado and an egg. I feel amazing!
As they say, fasting is a muscle. I started with OMAD, then three days, four days, and now a 5-day. I’m going to shoot for a 7-day fast in late June and maybe some smaller 3-day fasts here and there.
I really enjoy the benefits of fasting and adding it to my ketogenic diet has worked wonders. I feel the fasting has impacted my insulin resistance dramatically helping with my PCOS. My cycles are regulating (for the first time in my life!), I busted through a long stall, my mood has been a lot more stable, and my small bouts of pre-cycle depression are virtually gone.
