October 2018 IF / EF Chat ALL WELCOME

(I came for the weight loss and stayed for my sanity... ) #73

I am currently at 20h.
aiming for at least 48h.

I would love to crack the 100 mark again for once though… has been a while.

Anyone else planing on an EF and looking for a fasting buddy?

(Allie) #74

I’m at 22 hours so far, and will just got as long as I can.

(Carpe salata!) #75

I’m at 1 day, planning for 5. Just water or hot water.

So far so good but I felt a bit sleepy today. Might be better tomorrow.

Check out this thread HTH

Claudia, @bej10 started a thread for a fast this week (starting today). Here it is.

Melissa, this seems to vary a lot. Jezza just finished a 7-day fast and she seemed to have had a great time. I don’t remember the details but she must be close to her goal. I remember seeing another thread on here about a woman who did a 10-day fast to drop her last 10 pounds.
Others find that it’s really hard to fast when they’re more lean, even when they’re experienced fasters and have always had an easy time of it.

@Hardrock_keto_chick yes please join us!!

@Jezza I’m curious what kind of 7 day fast you just completed? You seemed to have great results

(Allie) #82

25 hours and so far it’s been a breeze, but I did keep my coat on all morning at work to avoid the cold feeling :joy:

(back and doublin' down) #83

@Jezza I freeze my bone broth in silicon muffin pan, then pop out those frozen pods and vacuum seal using my FoodSaver. This method works for anything liquid like that you’re wanting to freeze.

I did accomplish a 24 hr water fast, but not the EF I was aiming for. The course work got too stressful, so settled for OMAD Sat & Sun. back to IFs 18:6 today and this week. It’s our first week of cold/snow in the forecast. I was freezing on Saturday during the water fast, so thinking my body is no longer as impervious to the cold as it used to be at #260

#84

Just coming up on 16 hrs., but it’s just the beginning of the day, so I’m looking to try and stay busy getting some stuff done. :slight_smile:

(Allie) #85

Getting a bit headachey now… pushing through.

#86

Thanks! Needed this thread :slight_smile:

Today felt like the right time to start another EF after great results in September. Well, especially after eating Brazilian BBQ last night (the third different place in the past three weeks - oops). Mmm. Fat.

I kicked off last night at about 8pm so I’m just under 12 hours in. Aiming to go through until Saturday evening which would be 6 days/144 hours.

#88

Cool, just don’t forget to blur your food mentions above. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest personally, hell I even cook/bake while fasting. But I do know they would like any mentioning of food to be blurred.

#89

Done! Thanks for the reminder.

Hi all. I just finished a 4 day fast yesterday. So restarted last night since my intention was NOT to stop. Currently 13 hours in.

(Allie) #91

29 hours so far, all good. Surprisingly easy considering how much I’ve struggled in recent weeks. Maybe a mindset thing as last night I decided to fast today so didn’t prep any food for today and this morning reminded myself that I’m fasting and just got on with it.

I’m feeling a bit hungry at the moment but pushing through as it’s time to do yoga and I don’t like eating in the evenings.

Good plan, I have found as long as I do 3-4 day fasts, if I eat a meal during the fast, it is better to carry on than just cave and eat for a few days.

Happy Fasting.
