update on my 45 day fast..

Long story short, I failed. Only reason I failed is because I work in a warehouse and today I was sick and my head was dizzy, felt like I was about to pass out at work. I tried pushing myself to see how far I could go, but tbh with my line of work it's not realistic. most of the people who accomplish long term fasts from what I've seen are usually sedentary or work in an office lol. My new plan is adf which is much more realistic for me.

Answer

I saw your prior post (looks like you made it to day 3?) You should start out doing shorter fasts that you can do every day. 16:8 then OMAD then multis then rolling multis.

You cant just wake up one day and claim you’re gonna win the Tour de France. You need to practice fasting every day if you want to try something crazy like 45 days.

However congrats on your first attempt

Answer

That sounds like a good idea. 45 days is insane! I wouldn’t say you failed, I’d say you learned that its not substainable for you in your current lifestyle, and thats OK. ADF sounds like a good place to go and see how it works for you!

Answer

Did you have any electrolytes? If you were supplementing then maybe it’s not for you, but if not then I would try again with electrolytes and see how that makes you feel. I’m a dog walker and with proper supplementation, I’ve got to 8 days.
