Answer
Day 4 it’s a bit hard since I am still doing a handful of almonds and spicy bouillon nightly now to get my salts up. But energy is on tap as needed.
This so called healing factor be be lovely now though I fell and hit my ankle and jammed my kneecap while in krav maga.
The scale after 4 days is looking nice though I peeked and it says at least 3 or so kilos gone. Probably water weight but one thing for sure I am not desperate for food just miss flavours.
Especially chuffed to be keeping with it. Got 2 more days.

I was planning to do rolling 4 day fasts (104hrs per week, really) for 6 weeks - this is the end of the 5th week. Now I’m realizing that the sixth week falls around my birthday and I haves few gatherings that will involve food that I’d like to enjoy. My plan is to do ADF next week and then finish my with my 6th 104hr fast from Nov 7-10. At that point I will scale back to 3 days a week until I hit my goal weight. I’m guessing 2 days a week will be needed to maintain the weight loss.
The numbers showing on my scale starting at the end of week 2 had me somewhat baffled, but I have continued nonetheless because I definitely am seeing body changes in the mirror and feeling them in my clothes.
I’ll keep posting updates as I push through.
