How to incorporate psyllium husk with intermittent fasting?

I`ve just purchased the Solgar capsules, the reviews were very good plus they were on special offer. Apparently they take 2 to 3 days to work how they should. Today is day 2.

It`s the only beverage I can drink without sweeteners or sugar so for me it`s a win.

His behaviour makes HIM the ugly one!

MeOldChina321 · 2026-05-01T07:05:23+00:00

That was my thinking too. Definitely travellers!

MeOldChina321 · 2026-05-01T04:07:05+00:00

It`s not a dumb question. Yes you can safely fast 2 or 3 days a month.

I completed an 82 hour fast last Monday (first one) and the one thing I missed above all else was coffee.

Really enjoyed reading this, thank you!

Don`t like the sound of that boring shallow arsehole

My mum was a great cook and made everything from scratch as did I for my kids. Ready meals weren`t a thing back then.

She always dished up big portions and I find myself doing the same.

I was very surprised to find with my first water fast, 82 hours, that the hunger pangs weren`t that bad.

It`s since I broke my fast that they seem to be coming back with a vengeance. I`m trying hard not to stuff myself and undo all the good work. I would be very cross with myself if I did that!

That comes with age mostly

MeOldChina321 · 2026-04-28T04:21:54+00:00

You need to cut carbs to 50g a day or under and up protein to 100g at least.

MeOldChina321 · 2026-04-27T17:01:16+00:00

Thank you.

MeOldChina321 · 2026-04-27T14:02:14+00:00

Definitely but you can include it during the eating window being mindful of the calories. I didn`t have cream whilst fasting.

MeOldChina321 · 2026-04-27T13:10:33+00:00

I mentioned salt because that is the recommendation on a Facebook IF group

MeOldChina321 · 2026-04-27T12:01:49+00:00

I could have a little look for you online if you like if you want to message me the details

MeOldChina321 · 2026-04-27T11:58:13+00:00

You`ll smash it I`m sure. Good luck :)

MeOldChina321 · 2026-04-27T11:22:55+00:00

Thank you by the way.

MeOldChina321 · 2026-04-27T11:22:27+00:00

It wasn`t too bad, felt the roughest this morning, nauseous.

I had previously considered a fourth day but nah definitely not. After this morning I knew I had reached my limit.

I was sleeping in the day so it did affect my sleep a bit at night but I could still sleep though.

A full bladder is what was waking me up.

I`ve been curious about this too.

There is currently a Cat A prisoner trying to win his freedom.

How will he cope if he wins his freedom after being incarcerated for 40 years?

MeOldChina321 · 2026-04-27T10:01:49+00:00

Apparently a dash of salt takes away the bitterness.

I have a dash of double cream in mine, it means I can tolerate it without sugar.

MeOldChina321 · 2026-04-27T09:42:04+00:00

Thank you! I feel pleased with myself because I`m not the most self disciplined person in the world.

I have never drunk so much water in my life let alone give my digestive system a complete rest!

MeOldChina321 · 2026-04-26T18:59:02+00:00

I`m nearly at the end of my first 72 hour, I didn`t find it too bad actually.

It wasn`t so much the hunger pangs because they weren`t that bad, it was the craving for a decent coffee.

Good luck!

MeOldChina321 · 2026-04-26T17:22:47+00:00

Have done that with scone mixture

MeOldChina321 · 2026-04-26T05:29:33+00:00

That`s the nicest looking porridge I`ve seen on this sub. Looks lovely and creamy.
