So I really have been depressed lately because of a ton of factors going on in my life. My youngest son was diagnosed with Duchene’s Muscular Dystrophy several months ago, my relationship (not the kids mom) has gone to absolute crap, and am in the process of moving out. I’ve been with her for 5 years and it’s hitting me really hard. Because of all this I started down the path of comforting myself with food. I was down to 208 lbs just 2 years ago and cannot believe that I let myself get up to this weight.
I’m tired of feeling bad about myself and my situation, so I have decided to fix this and gain some mental clarity from this experience. I have been doing OMAD for about 4 years, but the last year I haven’t been consistent at all. I don’t even try to be healthy with the foods that I have been eating, and it’s really showing.
I did my first 48 fast and first 72 last week. I’m currently half way through my second 72 hour fast and I can honestly say that I haven’t felt this good or had the energy that I have in a long time. I plan on doing just black coffee, green tea, water with either electrolytes or ACV along with way on my days that I am not taking in food.
Kind of a long post, but just needed to get this out there so there is accountability for myself knowing that others are aware of what I am doing.
Good luck young sir
I think 72 is that sweet spot, well it is for me anyway. I’m glad you’re ready to embrace this for your mental wellbeing and good health.It sounds like you’ve got the discipline to see it through.Imagine were you’ll be and how you’ll feel in 4 months.
Keep on keeping on keep on keeping strong
Like a Phoenix you will rise again. I am trying out rolling 72s as well with one OMAD day when I break and one eat to comfortably stuffed day (I am carnivore) and then back to 72 hrs.
I feel like this might be a good balance for me. I was planning a 30 day and made it 11 days but felt cruddy and feel like 72 is great for health, weight loss and energy levels so glad to see someone else doing a similar plan. Also, heartbreak is real and time heals all wounds. Love yourself 1st.
