RE: Intermittent Fasting (How it's working out for me)

in #health8 years ago

Funny pic, and some good inspiration.
I had been thinking about a Media fast just the other day, doing 30 days to re-wire the brain, but I would need a vacation that long I work on a pc :x
How long do you recommend for a first time try for a water only fast ?

Sort:  

I did a 3 day water only fast.

Sounds like an eternity, but once I got 1/2 way past day two I felt really clean, and like I could go forever without eating.

The media fast can be difficult as we are constantly bombarded with screen images almost everywhere we go. So I feel you on that one. You could try just shutting off the Facebook or Twitter or other meaningless scrolling. That in itself is very refreshing.

Thanks for the suggestions ! A friend in his 50s did the water only for 3 weeks but with incremental practice and he started with 3 days also

That's a marathon to me. I did do the liquid/juice fast for 40 days that so its not impossible (obviously)

Even just one day of water only or whatever is a good start. For me personally I usually build up to the bigger things. Others may jump in with both feet and have great success. I suppose it just depends on the individual.

40 days nice ! Yes I'm more the put one toe in the water first guy too with stuff like that I will start with 3 days water, thanks for the infos.
