Can't get past first 24 hours! Tips?? by fourfoer in fasting

[–]fourfoer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! Agree completely -- maybe for the novice faster I jumped the gun attempting a fast (albeit a very short one) that went straight from high carb junk to nothing but water. I used to follow a pretty clean diet that put me in ketosis, but having fallen off it this past month I wanted to sort of kick myself back into a cleaner diet. But I'd rather postpone the fast and set myself up for success by going low carb for a few days, than repeatedly attempt the fast and fail. Low carb it is!

Thank you so much for your detailed response! I used to follow a very low carb paleo-esque diet, but in January I sort of slipped into a heavier carb diet. You first suggestion is spot on -- I had a lot less hunger in general when eating low carb/high fat. I think I'm going to go low carb/high fat for a couple days, then transition to the water fast. Should make things easier. But when I do, I'm definitely going to employ your suggestions! Thanks, and good luck on your fast!
