Update - 39 hour fast complete! (And thank you!)

Just to follow on from my post yesterday, linked at the bottom (I couldn’t work out how to edit the original title, only the text content…)

I made it to 39 hours and could have gone longer but decided I don’t want to push too hard too soon and upset my gut and so broke it at lunch.

Previously when I’ve tried EF I’ve had awful “poopsies” afterwards, where I couldn’t be more than 10ft away from the porcelain throne for a good few hours. This time however, things are much improved. I wonder if proper electrolyte supplementation helps 🤔 I also had a tablespoon of psyllium husk and water prior to eating more solid food, so I wonder if that helped slow things down as well.

Either way, I feel great (all relationship issues aside) and am looking to start again this evening after dinner.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to the lovely people who replied to my original post with kindness and motivation. You made me smile 😊
