Wasn’t able to complete my planned 5 day fast :/ But after eating a low-ish carb meal yesterday evening (48 hours in), I went ahead and re-started the clock for 72 hours. It won’t be a perfect 5 day fast, but at least I’m re-committing.

I really want to fast and this time around I’m not able to do it alone. I lost 10kgs by omad and fasting in 2020. I have got it all and more back by end of 2021.
