Is watching an anime about food a good or bad idea while fasting?

18 hours in. Had to drive someplace about an hour and half round trip. Mild headache and ignorable hunger. Mostly vegging out now. Will make tea later. #WaterFast.

You need salt. That is usually the cause for most headaches while fasting.

Gotta drink this salted water faster then.

Oh yeah that helped. I've been drinking water at my usual pace. But with no food, I need to drink a lot more often.

Watch your electrolytes. With water only, that headache might be a little hyponatremia. Might need a touch of salt.

If it makes it harder to fast, don't. What are you watching?

I was eyeing Food Wars.

I haven't watched that but friends like it.

It's really good. It starts out weird, but it's a solid show.

And all the food in it looks amazing.

Cool!

I would watch the movie. Eat with your eyes πŸ˜‚ Do you usually drink coffee? The headache could be from caffeine withdrawal

I'm making some tea right now. I also just ate a pinch of Himalayan salt and salt has never tasted so good.

Himalayan salt? That’s the best.

Keep it up. You got it. How long are you aiming for?

I'm aiming for 6 days. But if I get through 3 I'd still be ok with it.

The fast seems to be going well I’d say.. how long are you going for?

Going well πŸ€™

I'm aiming for 6 days, but at least 3.

Awesome πŸ™Œ so far so good 😊

Is coconut water permitted on the fast?

I'm just having water and tea this time around.

You can do it man. Let us know when you start to see the mechanical elves.

You'll know when my notes get weird.
