First 24 hour fast

On hour 23 of my first 24 hour fast and trying to distract myself. Not hungry but the urge to say 23 hours is good enough is there. Also did my second fasted hike today @ 3 miles 🎉 and I am pretty much over my anxiety about fasted exercise. One of my best hikes ever. Any tips for making it through that last hour?

Answer

I do a few things.

It might sound crazy but cooking for my family actually helps me not eat. I enjoy making food and that’s part of my love for it. I find that if I offer to make them the food and don’t partake in eating it I sorta feel like I ate.

Also logging what I plan to eat for my fast is also helpful. There’s no getting around the fact that I’m going to have to eat at some point so the closer I get to that time the better it is for me to think of all the food I would like to eat and narrow it down to just a few items for breaking my fast. This helps me not full on binge (I’ve had issues with BED in the past).

Once the fast is broken I always make sure to chew with purpose and slowly.

Hope these tips help.
