That salt thing really works!

:astonished: I’ve done a bunch of 36hr fasts and done just fine but since the holidays :shushing_face: it’s been a real struggle. Monday I caved due to hunger that just kept building. Determined to get back to it yesterday. Was listening to a podcast where Carl took Megan’s advice to put salt under the tongue for hunger pangs. Happened to be experiencing some right then so took a pinch (not ready for 1/4tsp!) to see what happened and…It worked!!! Kept taking a pinch as needed until bedtime. Now I’m 31.5 hrs in. Yay new tool for success!

Nice. Yup
For my OMAD, right around the 20 hour IF mark, just taking salt under the tongue does wonders. Kills the hunger craving.
In fact, I know if I wanted to fast and not eat at the 24 hour mark. I’m fine w that
Gonna give it try soon😄

The salt reminds of the “ salt rock “ in the package of David sunflower seeds…way back in the days
It’s just now I like it. Lol

I’m doing another 36 hrs starting 9pm last night. Real Salt is at the ready :smile:

I keep thinking of those Salt Lick blocks I used to put in the guinea pigs cage. I will be near a pet store today :thinking::joy:

I now remember Megan saying that too, but forgot! I am just entering day 5 of a 14 day fast, and thank you kindly for the reminder. This will hopefully be a strong tool to get me through! Right now I take salted water shots, but the tongue may be a fast saver! Thank you @Jezza!

You’re welcome :smiley:. Best wishes for your fast. “That salt thing” got me through another 36hrs. It was tougher with all the fam around eating all day, but I just kept pinching and swishing :+1:t2:
