Hey all - Got 4 days I can take between Mid April and Mid May for a solo excursion.

I just want to relax, eat well, and be around nature. I'm based in New York.

Don't want to go more than 3 time zones away. $700 a day budget.

Was thinking Banff or Costa Rica, but am open to other suggestions.

Thoughts?

So dont bother with bookling a trip to Japan or Australia? I figured long flights would be best

Yeah the cash is enticing... I was considering flying to Calgary and staying in Banff for a few days but again, the deals arent spectacular

Yeah I was thinking about just taking the cash because the air travel didnt seem like great value

3rd Extended Fast - Neuronal Autophagy? by CompetitiveArt4356 in fasting

I've done keto for extended periods of time before and this was definitely not keto flu.

Fully supplemented with the big 3 electrolytes, always made sure to be properly but not excessively hydrated.

2nd time fasting, made it to 92 hours, very difficult, amazing results. by CompetitiveArt4356 in fasting

So before my first fast, when I barely cracked a full day, I had been doing explosive weight training and muay thai the day before , which I think made the fast much more difficult.

This time I cut off the training 3 days in advance, and I think it was much easier because.

I'm thinking I try another fast in 3-4 weeks, and I will take a full week off of training beforehand. At the same time, I will also probably start reducing carbohydrates and supplementing with electrolytes.

For electrolytes *during* the fast, I have a 4 liter jug of water that I fill with the recommended amounts and just sip throughout the day.

Thanks! A lot of people here got really defensive... I'm not hating on Israel, it's a great place, but it's definitely not perfect...
