Well, I was thinking about this…maybe I’ll join? Was thinking about a 36 hr. fast, I usually start a couple hours before bedtime. I haven’t fasted since before Thanksgiving, was off my LC/Keto diet and gained about 10 pounds.
The second evening is the hardest for me. Sometimes I’m OK; sometimes I get nauseous from not eating or can’t fall asleep because of all the tasty goodies dancing through my head.
Really happy to see the positive response so far. I figured it wasn’t just me who wanted something like this but I wasn’t entirely sure.
I’ve attempted maybe five 36 hour fasts so far, but have not yet materially passed the 20th hour. The crazy part is, I don’t end it because I’m “hungry.” I end it because my mind gets in a clearly temporary state of addictive insanity, feeling, I “must” eat. My rational brain knows I can wait it out another 20 minutes and be OK, but thus far, my irrational brain has won.
I’d love it if all of us can share our experiences, no matter what. Even if we “fail,” let’s still update and encourage each other, and do our best to explain what happened for each of us, no matter what. Every single one of us knows we 100% can do this and we know every time we do it, the next time gets even easier - so let’s let our rational minds win, together
Just finished a 36, y’all got this! It’s easy enough and I think it really helps me to do them. It’s also the hardest part tho, maybe even easier to go farther than that if you have some experience and your bodyfat isn’t already too low
