I do this 2 times a year or so. Felt pretty good the whole time. Worked (semi physical job)  spent time with kid at soccer and street fairs and shit. Cooked breakfast for boy and picked up food.

Day 7 is today. Last food was Cinco de mayo around 5pm


Kinda want to take it to 10days.

As long as you feel good, I'd go for it. It's what I do on my longer fasts. Longest was 14 days.

Make sure to supplement salts and such if you get to feeling dizzy and end it if you start feeling not good.

I have a forced starvation coming up for a colonoscopy. Keep going!

Isn't fasting pretty dangerous? I thought after about 3 days without food your body's metabolic processes for normal biological function start to falter and health problems develop.

Are you taking vitamin pills or any sort of nutrient intake? I know during a fast people still drink water, at least.

Yeah, because they'd die otherwise. You think someone can go a week without water?

You are already 7 days past my longest fast of maybe 10 or 11 hours, you win.

There's gotta be a better way to lose that winter weight.

If you keep going it won't be a 7 day fast.   Details matter,

At this point you would see no additional benefit. End it and start again after a few days.

Reset insulin sensitivity
Lower blood sugar
Release growth hormone
Rest digestive system
Autophagy (major benefit)
Probably something to do with dopamine reset as you deny yourself cravings
Mental strength
Fat loss

Sense of moral superiority over fatties

What's the point?  There is so much good food in the world why would you purposely deprive yourself of it?

End of day 8 approaching at 6pm. Today was the only hard day. Felt pretty shitty most of the day. Still kicked ass at work, but feeling like 10 days is years away.

Woke up miserable today on about 8.5 days out. Could only think and dwell on food. This was new.

Decided to end it.

This was delicious.
