My First Fast Over 24 Hours

(*Tame Those Ghrelin Gremlins) #1

Okay so being that my appetite has decreased I am trying a fast to see how long I can go before I feel hungry. If I start feeling hungry I will pull the plug and near no problem.

I started my fast Friday at 6 pm. I am trying my best to keep up my water ( which I love water so it isn’t a problem) and I have electrolyte pills which contain magnesium, potassium, sodium and Vitamin D.

I have had some sea salt here and there as well. I Also have had some coffee as well. I’m just looking for a support thread and guidance or encouragement from experienced members.

Also for information purposes I’ve easily completed 24 hour fasts in the past. I also am about 6 weeks into keto, 37 years old, 5’2’’ 168 pounds. (If any of that helps) :slightly_smiling_face:

Congrats!! There is monthly fasting thread in the forum may it helps you check it. This month my highest is 32-hour fasting after I cant able to sustain, I felt like my electrolytes are enough for me. Will give another try next week another 24 hours will extend.

I feel fine so far but my eyes are burning and I have a slight headache but I’ve been doing everything I can, at least I think so.

The first time we fast for more than a day without hunger is truly a unique experience. It proves to ourself that WE have total control of our hormones and diet. Most people will never understand how this feels.

Congrats on discovering your strength and using it.
