Added fourth fast at post 7Started with a 36 hour two weeks ago. Then a 3 day last week and now on a 6 day. On day 2. Drinking tea, coffee and brine. Been locarb for 3+ months, keto for 2+ of those
I am especially blessed, in that I have found fasting to be so easy. No hunger pangs, cravings or anything. In fact I feel so bulletproof, I feel like I could fast forever ( take with a pinch of Himalayan pink salt, given that I have only done 3 days so far )
Day 1 was a non event. Day 2 I thought about how I was not planning what and when I was going to eat next. I did have a discussion about wings, my recent trip to Duff’s in buffalo, and then thought I would love to have wings soon!
I have never felt so in control of my body, my eating and my hunger (I have none). I did have trouble trying to get in enough feasting before this 6 day. I was loath to overeat just to calorie load. I ate fat calorie dense foods but doubt that I got over 3K calories daily. I can’t do that without eating ice cream and bagels LOL. I did launch the fast witha breakfast of 2x coffees (tbsp butter, tbsp coconut oil, 4 oz HWC) and a cup of broth with 30 gms of bacon drippings (that’s 1500 fat calories)
I will post my daily experiences on this 6 day fast. I hope it feels as great or greater than the previous 1.5 and 3 day. Maybe then I will attempt the 9 day fast prescribed for the most devout Jains (my birth religion). Being not religious, I never even considered it before. But now - why not?
