Fasting

[AlabamaMountainMan]

I'm debating on starting my long fast either the 27th or 28th. I'll break fast on the evening of the 3rd so i can slam burgers all day on the 4th.

Ooof, running a 5 or 6 day fast?

heck yes... give the digestion system a break, get a little autophagy to cleanout the body, reset teh food addiction so I'm not eating due to mental addiction. I'll probably take a few longs walks and talk with the creator of the earth and get on the same page him as to where/what he wants for me. Fasting is good for you all around

Intermittent fasting has been good for me. Hormonal benefits are supposed to be high.
I think:
Don't be-become a fat slob.
Don't be soft.
Dump all processed foods.
Eat an adequate amount of protein and healthy fats.
Train aerobic capacity-often with long duration and low intensity. 10% of the total amount of aerobic capacity as high intensity.
Lift for overall strength. Do physically-mentally difficult things and conquer them.
Get very adequate sleep.

IMO, when your on top of all those things you will naturally gravitate to intermittent fasting.

Overall health-fitness should be #1.

Good luck out there.

I am thinking after supper on this Sat (13th), go 72 hours, water with a little sea salt only.

Nice, I started a 36 last night. Going to judge how I feel tomorrow morning and may push on to a 48 if I don't start feeling sick like last time. You ever deal with bad nausea? Not just being real hungry as I know that comes and goes. Last time I hit 42 I got real sluggish and just didn't feel right.
