stuck in a major rut

Hey all been stuck in such a rut. really haven’t been able to get past 12-15 hours for over a year. I used to be able to do lots of 72 hour fasts and my longest streaks have been about 4-7 days. Once i get past the first 48 i’m good to go! but even getting past the first 24 has felt impossible Any tips on getting out of a rut? plz help

Answer

I would start by moving to OMAD (one meal a day), and it would be even easier if you also adjusted to a ketogenic diet.

Your hunger should subside once you stop craving carbohydrates and having insulin spikes.

I’ve done a few 3 week+ fasts, and when it gets really tough I have a mantra I repeat to myself.

I am not an animal. I do not need food. I just want the enjoyment of food.

Good luck and I hoped this helped! Once you get back into your old rhythm it will get easier and easier

Answer

I really think it comes down to carb consumption. I 100% think more about food the more I consume carbs, esp refined ones. I’ll have a cookie or something “just to satisfy the craving”, and it always makes it worse. It’s nowhere near as bad when I cut out sugars, and definitely not when I do keto.
