Howâs it going? Just wrapped up 5 days. Day 4/5 doable! Take it easy and be in nature/off tech as much as possible if you can.
45 hours in. Taking a walk helps so much when fasting. I highly recommend it. I even got to see a ton of turtles đ˘ Thanks nostr:npub1q6ya7kz84rfnw6yjmg5kyttuplwpauv43a9ug3cajztx4g0v48eqhtt3sh
There's a Bitcoin meetup nearby for genesis day but it's really up to a coin toss whether I'll go just to drink water out of my thermos.

It's going well. My stomach's been grumbling all day, but it's manageable.
Congrats on getting to 5 days. How do you feel?
I added pinches of salt to my water. Not sure if thatâs cheating by otherâs standards but helped. Found I was very thirsty days 2-4. Maybe because I flew day 1 so was on my back foot with hydration.
I feel really light. Had a goofy day today, which was amusing. I didnât feel too hungry at any point. Or it passed after 2 hrs at any point. Nature helped a lot.
Could have gone longer mentally but body signaled to call it today. So listened. Maybe next time longer.
Good luck! Listen to yourself! Hunger feels like an illusion now so thatâs a nice perk. And insights were strong!
Salt has helped me a lot, because I was getting headaches. Taking walks outside has been helpful to me too. There's something about walking that takes your mind off you for a while.
For now, I can keep going. My body will definitely let me know when to stop, I think.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm surprised at how many people on Nostr have done this fast.
