Hi. Is it okay if I eat only one avocado a day ? I want to continue my water fasting but doctor told me that I need to take my medicine with 20g fat. Did you guys have any recommendations other than avocado? Sorry if the question is not related more on fasting but I need helps here. Thank you !
If you are familiar with the Fasting Mimicking Diet, this is literally the poor man’s version. You can buy some Prolon meal kit thing, or you can replicate the macros by eating 2 avocados a day. So will you be water fasting? No, but you body will still in a very fasted like state.
PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE TELLING YOU THIS IS A BAD IDEA. ONE AVOCADO PER DAY IS LITERALLY THE PERFECT PSEUDO FASTING DIET!!!! COFFEE, PROCESSED OILS, OR ANYTHING ELSE IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH WORSE!!!!
the dogma and consensus on this thread is honestly pretty ignorant and foolish. don’t listen to anyone here giving you medical advice or telling you that something isn’t proper fasting.
Depends on what you consider fasting. Lots of super hardcore people out there that will accuse you of breaking your fast if you swallow your own saliva lol.
Pretty significant amount of calories in an avocado though. Dr. Valter Longo’s fasting mimicking diet allows around 500 calories per day. The Buchinger fasting method allows for around 250 calories. Lots of variation of “fasting”, so just depends on how hardcore you want to be. To me, as long as you’re still accomplishing the goals you want from fasting, that’s all that matters.
