I’m playing with shaking up my fasting routine. I’ve typically done two fasts on Mon and Afro each week. During the holiday funk of gave it up for a couple of weeks and have sort of stall for a while and even gain some. Early fasting I tried 60hr fasts with referring issues so I gained more back than I wanted and I found it uncomfortable to do. This time I fasted last Monday. Ate tues-thurs then because zornfast was happening I hopped on for a 60 hr fast which ended bunch time Sunday. It was startlingly fine. When I ended it it was more about convenience and schedule than hunger. To get back to a routine I refeeded Sunday till about 7pm then started another 36hr fast which I’ll Break in about 5 hrs. Typically hunger comes in waves for me which I ignore and within about 10-30 min they go away. This time it’s different. At dinner is time I was quite hungry and the wave never went away. It’s 2am. Argh! It’s manageable but annoying. I suspect my ketones are up because I have metal mouth. I was thinking as a way to shake things up I’d fast Fri & Sat., refeed Sun then fast Mon. Is this reasonable or is there a better routine? I want to chew my arm off right now. It almost feels a bit like the carb style hunger I remember from years past. If my typing gets erratic you’ll know I was not able to override self canibleization.
