so nice!
I am at about 22 hours and feeling fine, will take blood measurements when I am home.
Not hungry, yay and I was even able to shop and it didn’t phase me…
bg=77, bk=2.5, gki=1.7
Will probably keep going until tomorrow at some time.
kcfo folks, best wishes to all!
Hubby and I started fasting this past Saturday night at 1030pm., not so much for health reasons but rather a prayer/fasting segment. Not sure how long we will go. The stomach growling is a bit distracting, especially at work. The most difficulty I experience is when trying to sleep.
Given that we are both working full time, we are trying our best to cope. I am nearing the 84 hour mark for the fast, ketones appear to be quite high (according to the little color guide), and weight has hit a new low. I feel slightly more energetic today, as is the norm when I’ve fasted for long period. The 4th day seems to be when the tables turn, and energy levels begin to surge. So, for now, I shall continue indefinitely.
Any tips on getting more sleep? I’d love to hear from anyone that might have some insight!
Hey me too! I’ll hit 96 this afternoon. I feel good overall and operating off little sleep. Hitting new LOWs, and just broke through a stall. I was in Ketosis for about 3-4 weeks in a row and kicked myself out last week (too many nuts and carbs increased to about 50+ avg per day. I also let my daily workouts slip. I keep measuring, but ketones still reading low surprisingly. I know I’m fat adapted. Over the last 4 days, I‘m doing well by keeping very busy. I am eager to hit goal weight (225) and as of today, I’m 30 Ibs away. Like you, should I dig deeper and push another day, or back off to strict Keto for remainder of week and beyond? I’m reading everything from the experts. But I like connecting with people who’s on a similar path. Best of luck!
Good luck, everyone!
I had a nice OMAD lunch not long ago and I do my ZornFast now! We will see. The worst possible outcome is me doing OMAD for multiple days and it’s better than what I had before. But hopefully I can do it way better. Only if I don’t get tempted or hungry or anything, of course, I don’t force things. Just a little bit if I am in the mood 
But a good start helps most. I ate well and feel ready and determined.
I had a massive headache for 2 days, and decided to end my fast at 88-89 hours. Even though I did it with a spiritual motivation, still dropped to new low weight.
Thinking of going OMAD for awhile now.
Oh, no…well congratulations. Awesome job! I’m preparing to break my fast at 100.3 hours, in 25 minutes… I could actually go through tonight but I’m board, and the family is looking at me and shaking their heads 
Wow this thread kinda died out… Well I’m back at it and hoping to hang in there today until 4pm. Just an IF but it’s all I’m doing these days and I am only recently returning to this. I do feel really good about it but right now I’m HUNGRY! Trying to hang in about 4.5 more hours. Sounds like an eternity right now 
Anyone else fasting today?
I was sick for a couple weeks so I was doing no meals or one meal a day for almost 2 weeks I did the Zorn fast and did a 36 hour fast because I hadn’t been eating and I was finally starting to feel better and I was hungry since then I’ve just been doing IF.
I did just the Zornfast this month --I fasted for 96.5 hours from Wednesday 2pm until Sunday at 2:30 pm.
I lost 2 more pounds, so 228 now (actually a tad less this morning but not another pound) for a total of 65 pounds lost so far --98 to go.
I just have only been losing weight by doing about 90 or so hours for months now, so I am hoping when I get the opportunity to start doing a lot of walking, that maybe it will start coming off faster, we shall see.
I hope that everyone will be feeling better, and that no one gets this Virus, stay safe and well!
I do daily 20:4 IF-TMAD --lunch at 1pm and supper at 4:30pm.
Sometimes fasting can stress out ones body too much during a stressful time I think.
Anyway I did my one fast this month last week. I am deep into trying to feel ‘normal’ post illness and building myself up health-wise.
Come April, I am hoping to feel well enough to do at least a week of the rotating 18 or 36 hour fasting protocol.
I hope everyone can end March feeling at peace. kcko
Today I am starting a fast (water fast, plus black coffee and tea). I would like to extend it to 5 days to get the full benefits of autophagy, but we will see how it goes.
I stopped my weekly 72 hour ~2 weeks ago due to a very unfortunate loss …and then covid happened. So I haven’t been even trying to fast. I’m also considered to be essential at work apparently, so I’m still working everyday (mon-fri).
Until my stress/anxiety levels go down I don’t think do any fasting.
Wish the best of luck to all who are fasting. And I hope everybody stays safe and healthy during these trying times.
Stay healthy Brennan. Stress can make fasting very difficult. Just eat what you need to keep you going and being essential. There will be plenty of times to fast after we get over this curve smash down process.
I am sorry for the loss you are grieving from Brennan, best wishes and hugs, for healing and peace.
You too stay safe and healthy, and blessings to you =). Take care.
Hello Everyone
I am a Newbie who has been lurking and checking this forum from last year.
Actually very informational forum. I know lot of work goes in moderating these forums.
My thank you to all.
Just dived in fasting starting Wednesday March 25. Doing a water fast, hoping to go in autophagy to curb some inflammation. My plan is to go for at least a week (Navratri, Hindu fasting). Today is the 6th day. I am little tired. Staying at home due to COVID. Schools are closed in Toronto, Canada
Welcome to the forum, Vaneeta --I wish you the best on your week of fasting. Since you are on day 6 already, you seem to be doing really great =)). That is terrific =).
Hey people! I am fasting until 3:30pm today, 20:4 ish. I have been really motivated but my stomach is bugging me and I was feeling like I might be coming down with something this morning which of course scares the shit out of me right now… I think the stomach thing is mostly just gas from a big serving of spaghetti squash yesterday… plus I got hit with a little work stress when I got here… So yeah struggling a bit with motivation… but I ate too much yesterday and my weight was up this morning so I know I need this! Wish me luck 
Edit: never mind I’m not up for this today. Hope you all are doing better than I am!
I have been doing my regular 20:4 --TMAD but a few days I end up doing 23:1 OMAD as I forget to eat, haha.
