I am in my late 40s and I am beginning to feel that my body needs a spring cleaning. Last time I tried to fast I only lasted 4 days and I have to give up because I felt weak and unable to work. Electrolyte powder is coming today, hopefully that will help.
I would consider a success if I last for 5 days, but if I am strong Ill be happy to extend it.
3 weeks till Easter for the Christian folk, I dont follow formal religions, but very into spiritual stuff including Jesus of course, so happy to join the lent wand wagon
I also need to lose some weight but I’m not tracking it, I have plenty of clothes that dont fit me and thats the perfect reference.
Ill follow and add stuff to the daily thread.
Is there any decent app for prolonged fasting that does not spam you with ridiculously expensive subscription deals for something that is basically a glorified timer?
I’ve used the Life app in the past and don’t remember any annoying nags. But that may have changed.
I just use iodized salt, “NoSalt”, and magnesium tablets for electrolytes. The pre-mixed are expensive and unnecessary.
I’m an OMADer (going on 5 years) but do occasional EFs. For me 3 days is hard! ROFL. 4 days is longer than I have ever attempted! Guess it’s all relative. But I’ve OMADed virtually every day (except being sick which is very rare with this lifestyle).
Best of luck with your fast!
I use the Life app, it asks for an email sign in and I think there’s a “plus version” you can pay for if you want, but the basic version is free. I find it motivating. Best of luck on your fast, welcome back to fasting in general! I’m doing an extended one as well, through the end of March (maybe extending further if everything goes well).
