Lesson Learned The Hard Way

I’ve been doing prolonged fasts for the past few days (usually anything from 20-30 hours, so pretty much omad), but I made a terrible error on Tuesday: I broke a fast with cookies.

Work brought them in for everyone to thank us for all our hard work, so at the end of the day I had a few. My god, the first one was amazing. The second was fine. The third was sickly.

Fast forward to last night (Wednesday night). I was 26 hours into a fast and vomiting bile, wondering what the hell was going on, when I finally realised it was those damned cookies. I ate the wrong thing between fasts.

Learning the hard way to be more mindful of what I eat when I actually can.

Answer

I’ve fasted 100+ hours and broken the fasts in all sorts of ways and I’ve never gotten sick. Also, if you break a fast in the wrong way, you don’t feel the effects 26 hours later, you feel them much sooner. In other words, something else is going on, it wasn’t the cookies.
