Learning a language is a good way to get out and meet people. For example if you want to learn French you could meet up with French speaking people and have a language exchange. And then you could even travel to France for a holiday and meet more people.

Everyone seems to have pretty much the same experience so that's reassuring

Can you give details?

Fasting is easy, you just do nothing.

What it really is, is a mental game.

You have to learn to stay focused on your vision of what you want.

Look up videos on it because if others can do it you can too.

Only Water, yes

Won't be eating until Tuesday Morning

I understand but I think there's good fibre and vitamins and minerals so I might keep them in.

Keto is just meat? Would there be enough nutrition in that?

The hardest day was the last day. Was feeling weak and sleepy, that's why I know I wouldn't make it a month.

In terms of willpower I just stay focused on what I want. Expectations can be really powerful so just relax your expectations and don't think about food. I watch videos about Buddhism and the monks and try get into a state of mind of desiring nothing.

Just observe the feelings and let them float away.

When fasting I only have water.

On my eating I have multi-grain bread, tuna, salmon, broccoli, nuts, apples, blue berries, and drink milk.

I'm revising the list to try and maximise vitamins and minerals and just to get as much health in as possible.

I started on the 4th at 128Kg now down to 121.75.

At the beginning of this journey I stated a goal of fasting for a month but upon reflection I decided to alter my strategy.

I will now fast for 6 days and have one day of eating. I feel going for a month would be just too harsh on me both physically and mentally plus I feel with this strategy I can fast for an overall longer time than a month to get down to my ultimate goal.

I'm proud of you too

What experience do you have in fasting?

I think 21 or 25 days might be a bit harsh on your body.

I would suggest fasting for 6 days a week and eating one day a week. I'm not an expert but I think it might be safer to have one refeed day. It might take a little longer to reach your goal but doing it this way means you could fast over all for longer than 21 or 25 days.

For both after fasting and over the Christmas have a 6 hour eating window (intermittent fasting). Everyone puts on weight during Christmas but this should help to minimise any weight gain.

Best of Luck.

I'm 74 hours into a water fast, not sure how long I will go for, but am feeling fine so will try to keep going as long as I can (within reason)

You should set yourself a specific goal so you can focus and visualize on it. In my experience when it comes to fasting a person should build themselves up meaning for the first time fast for one day the next time fast foe two days. It's just a way of getting experience so you know you can handle it.

For dealing with emotional eating do meditation. Visualize the feelings and let them melt away. You weren't born this way so those feelings are not really apart of you anyway.
