We started at 1 pm yesterday. nostr:npub14hlzw4sywt23drreaqs8ruf00dsrnnv5hfnyu49g2hpheq836umssur6nl and I. We hold eachother accountable.

I like to start fasts after 1 meal or 2 light meals. So I usually start somewhere in the 11-1 range. The final day of a prolonged fast plays tricks on me and I get very hungry so I don’t like it to be too long after morning until I break it. So this is what works best for me. Times are totally up to you.

I fast for 24 hours often, yes. I shoot for once a week. 48 hours i try for once a month. sometimes I’ll go a few weeks without fasting but I miss it, it’s addictive. I’m still a newbie overall, i only started fasting a year ago.. to that point i had never even done a 24 hour fast and I’m older than you’d think.

The mental clarity is unlike anything I get anywhere else. Especially after 24 hours. It’s special. It’s needed.

No, I’m not cranky, quite the opposite. I’m hungry, but peaceful. I still workout as I believe it’s import jet to let your body know you aren’t dying, you’re purging. You’re focused. Mind and body are connected. Let your body know why you are fasting. I tell my body to feast on impurities cause you’re getting nothing else. I think it listens.

Also, I swear by sparkling mineral water on prolonged fasts with Himalayan Sea Salt and a squeeze of lemon. It just feels right. Again, listening to my body but salted water tastes amazing on a prolonged fast. I’d NEVER drink it otherwise and I also don’t enjoy sparkling water AT ALL outside of fasting.

I’ll also have some black coffee.

Today I just made a treat, 😂😂😂. Shot of espresso, sparkling water, salt and lemon. It looks gourmet and tastes fantastic!! (Again, I’d never drink iced salted lemon coffee water if I wasn’t fasting)
