The Science of Fasting (5 Viewers)

I put a table spoon of ACV in a coffee mug with a dash of salt then about 1 oz of water and just gulp it down. Fast and easy. I try to pour it down the back of my throat so the ACV doesn't go over my teeth.

This is the only way I can do it. But I also use a straw to bypass the teeth.

A squirt of lemon juice helps with the ACV water

I never tried to drink it in water with ACV.

I don't recommend. I was thinking with that much water I'd barely taste it. This was incorrect.

I'd say thanks but, TBH, it had never occurred to me to try it. lol

86+ hours in. Might try for a new personal best

Another thing helping me is drinking a lot more water than previously

Can you imagine how fast we could alleviate world hunger and the need for over production if even only 20% of the world's population fasted like many of us in this thread do. Not to mention the immeasurable health benefits and reduction in costs of healthcare.

Just made 4 days. Had a rough hour or so while watching the LSU game where I wanted to eat the TV whenever a food commercial came on but it passed.

Think this will be my last long fast for awhile so I think I am going to set my goal at 10p days. That was my goal on my first one at the beginning of December but a mistake I made on the 5th day coupled with a bad night rescuing someone who was having a breakdown forced me to stop

However if I make 7 days I will be satisfied, I think

I just went to Oak Point and they had large Black Angus porterhouse steaks for $8.99 a pound

I bought some but I am going to have to put them in the freezer

My new go to favorite meal is ground round with liver meat minced up and mixed in for more nutrients. Then I add in 3 eggs when the meat is nearly done. Also roasted squash that is sliced up and roasted on a roasting sheet in the oven at 405. Just serve of the meat and eggs in a bowls and lay lots of squash over the top. Don't judge me, but I also have recently loved drizzling local honey over it all.

I don't know what Oak Point is but I think I'm in love with whatever it is. Man, I love me a good porterhouse.

It's a grocery store in the Baton Rouge region

I was shocked at that price for Black Angus

I know what I am eating after I get thru with this fast

My personal favorite is the brisket-deer meat bacon cheeseburger mix I just got from a local butcher. We usually get his ground baconburger and his regular ground and mix that and that's also game changing. You can eat whatever you want, but I can't change my meat from low carb to HIGH carb. Honey is good on everything I'm sure.

Sounds interesting...might give it a try

I had a sandwich today with bread and everything. Been anything but a good fast week for me. I am going to try one 24-hour one, then a good keto day, and then keep alternating with the 24 to train myself since I have such an issue with a full 24. I don't know what else to do.
