I. Am. So. Hungry
This is the longest fast I’ve ever done, usually I do ADF for 36 - 42 hours but I thought I’d do a 72 hour fast to just say I did it, but on hour 50 this is getting tough!! Any tips?
My first 72 hour fast was my very first fast and I didn’t think I could do it. Honestly, it’s a mental game. It will be tough, but that’s a good thing. Willpower is a muscle that isn’t exercised enough.
Also, the extreme hunger will come and go in waves. Hunger actually disappears or significantly declines around hour 72, even a bit earlier, which is why I often end up extending my 72 hr fasts by another day.
You will be so proud of yourself come hour 72! Remember that!
Also, boredom is tough for me when fasting. I feel that staying busy (physically busy) helps the day pass and hunger reduced.
YOU CAN DO IT!
