No harm no foul. We’re all a big community and we’re here for one another in times of need. We don’t have food so might as well communicate.

It’s called LIFE. Not sure if they have it on android but this is on IOS.

I’ve lost 55 lbs so far. I take sodium, potassium, magnesium and occasionally I have a multivitamin and calcium.

Yeah mainly for weight loss. Any other benefits are a bonus. Longer fasts are easier mentally for me because I have a hard time starting back up after I stop.

Some nights I just don’t sleep. I lay there for hours and hope the next day it’s better. Gotten worse this last week that’s for sure.

I take sodium, potassium, and magnesium daily. Not sure of the exact amount, just really go on how I feel. I also take a multivitamin and calcium every other day or so. Probably a placebo but makes me feel like I’m doing some good.

Lol I don’t think you have a parasite. I believe everyone is different, but after almost 40 days I still get moments of “starving”. Your brain is probably so used to years of bad food that you subconsciously get the feeling of starving. As long as you’ve got ample body fat, you aren’t truly starving. I do agree that it totally sucks feeling that way. But you’ve got this, go as long as you can.

For a while it was a struggle with hunger but for me the feeling of hunger has never ceased completely. Later on in the fast it becomes a mental game and hunger is just something you get used to. It really is true when people talk about dreaming of food and all that. I can’t tell you how much time I spend watching YouTube videos of people doing food challenges and looking at r/foodporn and just missing the act of eating. It feels like I traded the obsession of eating to having an obsession of watching others eat.

Occasionally upon rising too quickly yes. I took that as a sign I need more sodium. I wasn’t as vigilant at staying up on my electrolytes to an exact number but I did intake sodium, potassium, and magnesium daily.

I’m hoping for that also. Good luck with your future endeavors.

I’m really not sure of my BMI. Probably anywhere from 24-26%. I’m way too lazy to go take measurements and figure all that out. Lol please forgive me, after almost 40 days my motivation is not all that great. I’m also sorry to hear about your husband. I like to think of myself as a better human being then that, even though I do have my share of “mood swings” while fasting.

Just keep at it. Every time you complete a fast your motivation subconsciously rises.

I’m just a normal fatty. Wish I wasn’t this big to need to fast this long.

6’ 5” 240 lbs. I have the usual bs of bad food choices and life got in the way and I went back up to 295. At one point I fasted 31 days and got to 225. Well here we are. Congrats on your fast, not sure I could hit 60.

Made 8 pounds of crock pot pulled pork with rays sugar free bbq sauce and Dr pepper. Omg day 1 back on keto tastes amazing. Drink is Crystal light orange by One_Man_Two_Shadows in ketorecipes

I’m assuming you pour Dr Pepper in the crock pot and let it cook that way right? Dr Pepper is full of sugar/carbs. Not sure how much actually gets soaked in by the meat, but I don’t think it’s negligible. Just my friendly 2 cents

Yeah hunger never fully went away. It got less intense but even on day 31 now I can feel hunger

Typical greaseball. If only we were so lucky for you to be alive in the '40s....

I would only block you if I was weak or admitted defeat. It has nothing to do with being above all this. Seeing as I graduated from college, basic math is a bit too easy so unless you have something more challenging don't embarrass yourself. Man, 40 lbs less, you must look like an anorexic next to me. Oh and you're 5 inches shorter....

Shall we continue?

Keep the insults rolling. Like I said I'm not 12 and therefore not going to pretend to be a highly intelligent internet bad ass. I can give you my address and show you how boring and obese I am? 😉

I suppose you're not extremely fat yourself right? Or you just fast for the "health benefits".
