One day at a time is great! I’m also really cold 
We can make it through the fast 
But it’s super important that we listen to our bodies.

Thanks Kim.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets cold. It really is all about one day at a time.
Do you heat up your water?
Thanks.

Hi Kim, hope all is well. I must confess - I was not feeling well yesterday and ended up breaking my fast at 98 hours mark. Restarting my clock today, aiming for 5 days this time.
Thanks Nina.
Day 5 done. I hope I can make it through day 6 tomorrow l
I can only take it one day at a time, though I would LOVE to make 10 days! I’m still feeling very cold at various times during the day.
How are you doing?
Congrats on Day 6!!This is great! 
I am back on Day 1 and am aiming for another 5 days. As you said, one day at a time

Good luck on your day 1 tomorrow.
I trust it will go smoothly.
How much water do you drink?
Thanks Lenaa!
I struggle in this area - can hardly make myself to drink 6 glasses of water a day. Will
make it a priority this time.
What about you?

I also have a hard time drinking a lot of water .
I end up drinking about 4 glasses. Sometimes 5. It just makes me feel bloated to drink much more than that.
Yes, same here.
Hey Nina, sorrry for not answering but I’ve moved and was really busy. I broke my protein fast after 7 days because I felt dizzy. Tomorrow I want to start again. This time I want to do 3 or 4 days of water fasting and 3 days of protein fasting. But again: I will listen to my body like last time
It’s totally fine that you broke your fast after 98 hours. I hope you’re feeling fine
Hi Kim, I hope your moving went well! Congrats on completing 7 days! This is awesome 
!!!
3-4 days sounds like a great plan. I was thinking to do 3 days, starting today, and then see if I can continue .
Sounds really good
And thank you, the moving went well 
There is something I would like to ask: Why do you fast?
Of course, I am fasting for health reasons plus I gained around 13lb during the pandemic and trying to return to my norm. My ultimate goal is portion control and to to stop binge eating/stress eating. Once I am back to my normal weight, I am planning to limit fasting to 1-2 days a week.
What about you? Why do you fast?
Health reasons and longevitiy and to lose a bit of body fat. Just like you I gained some pounds during the pandemic. Binge eating is still a big topic for me and fasting is helping me to take a step back from it.
It’s interesting you mentioned longevity - I just finished The Longevity Diet by Valter Longo. Will definitely try MF after this fast.
What is MF? 
Modified Fasting - under 400 calories per day. There are other versions - up to 1200 calories.
I was not feeling well yesterday and ate but limited it to 350 calories. Planning to fast today. It is tough - I am so stressed b/c of the situation in Ukraine. I am originally from Ukraine and all my family is there. Just keep praying for a peaceful resolution 
.
How are you doing? What’s your fasting plan this week?
Hello Nina, my heart goes out to you and your family! That must be really tough… 
I will pray every day
Modified fasting sounds good, especially when you’re already so stressed. And if you have to break your fast, this is okay too. You don’t want to put more stress on your body.
My last fast didn’t went well. I have started a new water fast 40 hours ago. When my body doesn’t want to water fast anymore, I’ll switch to a protein shake fast (plus some vegetables). I guess this could be called MF too
I want to apologize for not messaging you so often. My depression is really bad right now and sometimes I can’t leave my bed.
How are you today?
