Answer
Length: 5 daysStart: Monday 6 pm, end: Saturday 6 pmGoal: curb sugarbrain and prepare fore ADF
Found great success last year with ADF but went back to bad habits. Jumping on again, but I really enjoyed the long fast before starting ADF last time. I think it made it easier.
I’m going to eat Saturday evening-Wednesday then start a Sun/Tues/Thurs fasting protocol.
Feeling good, though of course the first fast in months is a tough one.
Easier than last year, though.
Answer
anyone fast once a week? i ate 9 hours after waking up last week and i kinda liked it cuz i can forget about food for a bit. im kinda bored of my home cooked low glycemic index food so a break from thinking about food is a relief.
gonna do it again tomorrow since its my rest day so i wont need to care about having energy. but idk is it wise to do a day after a good workout. something about needing protein? but fasting a day before also would never fit cuz if youre active youre doing some kind of exercise almost everyday. even if its just stretching and some indoor body weight exercises.
Answer
Day 1
Height: 6’0” - 6’2” (honestly idek)Weight: Around 450 lbsAge: 23Target weight: 250 lbs w/ muscle. Like being big, hate being fat.
Problem: I find it very easy to fast for 24 hours but my problem is consistency as a day off balloons to a month.
Possible solution?: 72 hour fasts. Done Day 1 with mild hunger. I hear Day 2 is brutal. This time it’s going to stick. I will eat glass if I have to. Need to force myself to drink more water though. I plan on easing my way to 4L a day.
Nothing but toxic positivity!!!!!
