Day 7

Finally on day seven. Sudden hunger pangs have been haunting me since last night. I think it is more of a psychological thing as I had intended for a seven day fast initially. Did not take my weight today.
Planning to extend the fast on @Compdude 's advice.
Hope I get through it.

Completed Day 8.

Lost almost 3 kg in 8 days, I had expected more but I am still happy with the result. Trying to extend the present fast till day 10 or day 14, depending on how I feel. But crossed the 7 day mark!:smiley:

The fasting experience was amazing.
Thinking of starting the fast again, this time, hopefully for a little longer.

Please do a minimum refeed of 4 days. Fasting is stressful on the body. Don’t over stress it.

Ok, shall start it after 2 days.
Thank you @Compdude.

Finally, after a break of 7 days, I started my fast again. On day one of the fast, almost 14 hours into it.
Plan to go on a longer fast this time.

Back to fasting journey after 6 months. In these six months, i had let myself go, eating things i knew weren’t good for me and gaining weight.
Day 1
My health is in a poorer state than before. With the weight piling up, the pressure on the joints has incresed. With my already existing cervical spondylitis and other issues with the bones, i really need to adopt healthy habits.
I dont have a scale this time, and i am aiming for 7 days initially.
I am 5 hours into the fast.

Day 2
24 hours into the fast. Feeling good so far. No hunger pangs but just a desire to eat something.
Dont have a weighing machine so unable to weigh myself.
Hope i make it to my desired goal.

Are you taking electrolytes? Are you withdrawing from caffeine? I hope you feel better soon!

Thank you for asking. I was not taking electrolytes. Had totally withdrawn from coffee.
My headaches got better of me and i broke the fast at 50 hours. Did a refeed, will try again from tonight.
Better prepared now, hopefully.
Will add some salt this time.
