Pulling on my big girl boots.

Sort of. I hate fasting. I actually have only attempted 2 water fasts. Otherwise I stick with OMAD and ADF - because I know i can achieve those. But I'm frustrated, like I posted earlier. I just.. I want to atleast get myself under 80kgs and I'm only hovering around 83 so it's not even far away. So.. Im gunna push myself, I'm going to do a water fast (with some coke zero, soz if you're anti soda) and just get myself under 80, that's all I want right now! If I had a job honestly this would be a piece of cake, but fuck you (enter town name here) for not having anything flexible for a student who also has no car!!!!!! Ugh. Anyway hi gals. EDIT: Will post more info later :)

I find ADF super challenging! It’s just… so many “Day 1’s” haha (which is the worst day IMO). I honestly think I’m going to attempt ADF again for a month or so though (after this extended fast I’m currently on), because that’s half the month fasted! We’ll see. I don’t know. Still trying to find my fasting groove and find what works best for me.

Anyway, good luck getting to goal!

Answer

You can do it!! I’d recommend holding out for as long as you can before drinking a diet soda. Because of the artificial sugars, it still has a similar effect on your body as eating would (please correct me if I am wrong, I can’t recall exactly). Something to do with insulin levels, I believe. Pretty much when I drink a diet soda, it almost awakes the dragon again, so I get a little hunger pang instead of soothing it. Try some coffee/tea/carbonated water if you want something just to sip on!
