2 days ago I looked at myself in the mirror and decided to go without food for 2 days. The first day was hard, I felt weird, a bit not well, sleepy, hungry. The 2nd day I felt amazing! Super sharp, agile, fresh, zero hunger, no bloat.

Thank you for all of your kind comments and motivation 🫂 💜

I love this place and the kind people who always say positive things and uplift.

My takeaways if there are any:

- it feels great on day 2. I definitely want to do it again. I feel like I could go another day, but I wanted to do a trial first.

- this is probably much easier to do if you travel or are single. Having to cook for kids and serve them meals when we’re out and about is a bit of torture 😂

- I may try 24 hours next time, but may also do more 48s - highly recommend it to anyone who is considering

- I’d want proper electrolytes next time. Whatever I cooked up at home wasn’t great. I felt dehydrated all the time despite drinking a lot. Had a salt rich of potassium and magnesium but still didn’t feel right. I did have some electrolytes packets but they contain sugar so I didn’t use them. I’ll buy a proper mix before I do my next fast.

I lost 10lbs in the process - but I imagine all of that is water weight. Still feels great not to feel bloated.

Well done, after getting past the hard bit it almost seems a shame to break the fast doesn't it. 😂

Congrats on the 48hr fast! It’s incredible how the human body adapts and even thrives when fasting.

Adopting an OMAD eating habit isn’t difficult and will ensure you’re getting a consistent 24hr fast. I mostly do 18hrs with 2 meals happening late morning and late afternoon. Once you’re comfortable with that schedule, adjusting to OMAD is easy. Throwing in a multi-day fast as needed is the bigger challenge, but not as much as doing one without having an existing fasting schedule in place.

Good luck!
