Yes to this: Low Carb/Meat Heavy, OMAD to 2 meal weekends and one 2 day weekly fast following this Thanksgiving fast plus another 7 day fast ending December 23rd and Fasting from December 27th to 31st if needed. - How do you feel right now? (Happy, Sad, Anxious, etc.) and why?

Keeping track is vital. Refeed is vital. Mindset is vital.
My first extended fast was almost 2 years ago and due to some bad advice, following that successful fast, I changed from a lowcarb/meat heavy diet to a vegan diet. This did not work for me as I am a sugar/carb addict. I fed the beast and I paid the piper. After 14 months, I came back to lowcarb/keto and then transitioned to carnivore as a way of an elimination diet. Before adding back a few select non-carnivore items, I decided to tip the scales in my favor by doing this new fast. My plan is to fast until Thanksgiving, although I may require a short refeed (or 2) during this extended fast. I will NOT beat myself up for it, but I will listen to my body, nourish it with bone broth, and get right back on the horse! I can do this!!! I’m ready to heal and to burn unnecessary, unhealthy fat. I’m in it to win it.

Win you will with that great attitude!
Happy Fasting. Almost done with day 9. I’ll also be transitioning to a Low Carb / Meat Heavy way of eating when I complete my fast
Awe thanks!
I follow a 95% carnivore diet myself. I just need an extra push before the holidays. I’m impatient

Day 4 and I’m down 5 pounds!!! Very happy with that and not really hungry either. I really want a cup of tea, so I’m going to have one now. I can do this! I can go the distance!!!
That is fantastic! Keep going, I know you will achieve your goals.
Fasting works for me, and some form of intermittent fasting oh, but I’m not if we do keto I tried it once and it didn’t really work. Only shot up my cholesterol. I will be doing a 10 day water fast after veterans Day. But I like the way you have everything written down come and planned out.
