APRIL 2019 IF/EF Chat ALL WELCOME

Okay folks, kicking off the April 2019 thread. Started what I hope to be a 72hr ish fast last night after dinner. Was up ~2 lbs overnight. I’m usually <15 grams/day and I think yesterday I was right at 20g. Maybe I need to go carnivore for a month and try that out. I’m not looking forward to that conversation with my wife. But I am looking forward to the food if I choose to do that. However, I am really looking forward to several days of fasting. Still, get some hunger pains on day 1 and …

Locking this thread.

… Didn’t realize you had locked it Gaff. Thanks. Was going to after posting.

Personally, I always Feast for 2 days between Fast, (2 meals each day) regardless of the length. But usually don’t like to Fast too quickly after a longer one. (So If I do a 3 to 5 day Fast, I will usually just eat the following week, doing OMAD with the occasional second meal) Feasting is as important as Fasting.

I usually feel amazing on a fast and have done 24 hours, a meal, then 24 hours again before.

This is actually considered OMAD (One Meal A Day) which a lot of folks do, myself included. But as I mentioned above, I throw in a second meal TMAD (Two Meals A Day) here and there which essentially keeps things mixed up, i.e., keeps the body guessing. From all I’ve read, this is very important, since the body can indeed get used to any type of scheduled feeding. (But that’s just how I do my Fasting. There are a lot of ways folks do theirs as well) Everyone just needs to find what works best for them.
