Dilemma on when to break my fast

Sooooo it’s now Monday 2AM and technically my 7 day fast ends in exactly 23 hours on Thursday 1AM. I am NOT planning to stay up as late as I did today, so:

• first option : break my fast today(Monday) in the evening, having my perfectionks brain — though it is stupid — telling me I didn’t complete EXACTLY 7 days.

• second option : I wait until Tuesday evening (eating in the morning and then nothing for the rest of the day is hard for me) but I will probably be impatient, and I’m a bit scared of refeeding syndrome since I’ve been uh… quite loose on the electrolytes.

Any suggestions?

Stop Fasting Alone.

Get a private coach and accountability partner for daily check-in's and to help you reach your fasting goals. Any kind of fasting protocol is supported.

Request more information and pricing.

Answer

Refeeding syndrome happened to around 4% of liberated WWII prisoners that wasted away to nothing. I’ll spare you the picture. Trust me; you are not going to get refeeding syndrome, more likely if you rush it an upset stomach.

Beyond that whatever makes you happy. Either way congrats.
