Hi guys! I am 61 hours into a 120 hour (5 day) fast! It’s going well and I am actually considering extending it to at least a 144 hour fast!
I have a refeed question:
I am going on a trip on the 24th (5 days from now) and I am absolutely a hundred million percent eating bread and glorious French food 🥐
I’d love to extend my fast to the 22nd or 23rd but I’m concerned that refeeding that close to my trip will be a disaster. I really don’t want to be unwell on a plane/traveling. I was considering doing broth on the 22nd and then eating a few meals the 23rd. Is that cutting it too close? I’ll take any advice you have!
Answer
Have you fasted this long before? I get what I can only describe as bum pee after breaking anything 2 days plus. I break with no carbs or very low carbs. It just happens. Lasts a day. I would hate that on an plane in fact I have fasted on a plane just to make sure it doesnt happen. Day 2 after the refeed I am back to normal.
Pastries will bloat you but France has some nice stuff to try and life is short!. Enjoy your break!
