Yeah, but my cheap breathlyzer is coming from a slow boat in China so the stix is all I got!!!
JUNE 2018 IF/EF chat - all welcome
I normally don’t start a fast until about 8pm but am almost 20 hours in to this one already as I took advantage of feeling like crap yesterday and started early. No goal on how long this one will be, just going to see how things go…
iterresting . I am trying to achive the exact opposit by going zero carb.
I plan on testing out OMAD with zero carb during the week days and see what that does to me.
plan going back to EFs in July since I will have a crazy busy time with traveling and such the next few weeks. until then I will fast whenever my body sees fit.
I really hope it will solve my nut addiction and constant overeating problem. I do love meat since I got my first teeth really XD so maybe that’s what I was meant to do all my life.
I’ll sure report back…
Just over 14 hours in. I ate till I was nauseous last night and was still feeling it this morning so I’m happy about that! (seems a sad thing to be happy about, but I’ll take it!).
Thanks @rustyk61
Crazy to think I’ve been struggling with fasting so much since my ZC experiment, but today has been a breeze so far…
I’ll end my tonight after work at 72 hours. Only 5 hours to go.
As soon as I finish sipping down this Starbucks my 72-hr fast starts. Hubby joining me for his first fast! For autophagy, not weight loss.
Argh I’ve just had to sit in a crowded room with loads of carbage and well meaning people trying to encourage me to eat something… honestly the smell was making me feel sick, not appealing at all. Thankfully I was able to make my excuses and leave but now I have a mixture of ghrelin gremlins and nausea which is horrible
and you have the skills and support to make it past all that! I totally get the smell making you sick. Had a similar experience with popcorn smell earlier.
A bit ago, 19 hours into a 40+ hr fast, I had symptoms that reminded me of symptoms that have hit in the past about about 48/54 hours. Weird nausea that feels like my throat is swelling. I sipped a bit of water and breathed through it. Also noticing my system emptying out, more saliva than usual too. Not hungry, not at all. But how strange that these symptoms show up so much earlier than in past fasts?
Thank you both, I’m feeling better now after a soak in a hot bath and will have no problem continuing my fast
I did 13 days earlier this month: 9 days with HWC in my coffee and one cup broth followed by 4 days water/black coffee only. I felt fine, and no problems when i did a small re-feed, then went for another 4 days. I just kept up with the salt/electrolytes.
Thanks. I have my Lite Salt in my carry on bag. Will stop and get some mag citrate for some ketoaid this week.
24 hours in and I’m a little hungry so I’m having some broth. This first 24 has been easier than most for me. Is it because I ate so much last night? Let’s hope the trend continues into the second 24.
Tonight we’re watching The Avengers Age of Ultron and then I’m off to bed in the hopes of getting at least 7 hours of sleep.
At 26 hours and feeling confident about making it to 40 no problem.
I love thinking about what I’m going to cook, what recipes I’m going to try. BUT…fasting feels easier. No worry of cooking or cleanup, just chillin’ on the couch and reading threads.
