The longest I’ve fasted for before was 127 hours and today I hit 129 hours on the 6th day of my first extended fast! Feeling super happy about this (although I was a little salty this morning to see that I had somehow gained a pound, though I’m attributing that to maybe muscle gain as I’ve also been exercising during these 6 days to maximize weight loss benefits)
I haven’t experienced the mental clarity or super-smell that most others here have described on extended fasts and I suspect it’s because I’m still quite early in the game, but I will say that during my walk yesterday evening I noticed the colours of leaves, trees, flowers, and houses around me all seemed so vibrant! Like, the colours were popping so much that I had to question whether I was high or not lol. I wasn’t but that’s how vivid everything looked. I haven’t seen that mentioned in here before so I was curious to know if others had similar experiences.
Anyone else want to share some milestones or new personal records from this week?
Hey fasting twin, I just finished day 6 of my 21 day fast! (144 hours) Things are going fairly well; electrolytes are up, weight is down. It’s raining pretty consistently in NC today, so I won’t be taking any walks. How are you doing energy-wise?
