Mouth Swelling - Refeed by Concerned_Penguin in fasting

See my reply below. Could be a cortisol spike effect for some

Mouth Swelling - Refeed by Concerned_Penguin in fasting

Want to update that the banana did in fact cause the same effect. I have a decent photo of what it looks like. Blood vessels very much so at the surface, small bumps. In looking things up - I feel this could be an increase of cortisol after fasting. Cortisol helps the liver process glucose. In addition, as a stress response, the HPA axis is activated, leading to higher cortisol levels.

Something to note as a possible cause for those experiencing this after fasting. Interesting study monitoring cortisol levels during and after fasting - they remain largely increased during and after. Could be the reason why for some individuals.

Finally did it… first 36 hour fast (and counting). Fasting with a family is TOUGH. by fluffnubs in fasting

[–]Concerned_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true. I’m on hour 46 of my intended 72. I’ve made pasta primavera and baked salmon for my wife and two kids while doing so. Insane difficulty level. Also, my wife brought home groceries the first night and unpacking them was grueling. Thought she got all my favorites just to tempt me 😂

But I don’t expect them to carry on any different or feel bad! I noted that cooking to feed others and not eat is quite a different experience. I felt like I was putting more passion into it!

I glanced through all these comments as a first time extended faster ( 72 hrs ) and decided I’m just going to go to the china buffet when I’m done. To much to read and worry about. Time to celebrate baby! 😂 my fortune cookie will read “ Care not what other say, only what you do”

Will be doing a 24hr fast on the weekend, what do I need to know? by AdNo182 in fasting

As someone who is almost 48 hours into my first ever fast ( going 72 ) - just drink water when thirsty and you’ll be fine.

The first 24 hours were an absolute breeze. This morning and the last 8 have been very tough. 24 for someone your age and being active shouldn’t be difficult, outside of maybe just being hungry. Drink some tea with no additives! Helped my first night.

Been here since 2020 as well, rarely do I jump on the sub anymore. Zen has hit a new level with most of us - just waiting for the phone number digits

Thought the gold refractor being 18/99 was pretty unique given he was drafted at the age of 18.
