that was my reaction too when my sister was tellin me about her fasts last year. I feel like when Im eatin I need food pretty regularly. but the 72hrs was pretty easy ngl. felt like smth flipped in my brain that just made it no big deal

Mine would be the same as op. To not do that for sure

I feel seen

Nobody likes or cares about an adult with social anxiety. Learn to how to deal with that s***.

I've done 10+ hours for consecutive days but I haven't thought of a 72 hour stretch

I can imagine this can't be a dry fast so how do you pace yourself, water-wise

Unfortunately fax.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good

ya def not dry. I drink 3L water a day each with ½tsp "lite salt" in it which is a combo of sodium/potassium and I take a magnesium tablet too to supplement the electrolytes I would otherwise get from food. also got one of them Mio drink flavorings and put a squirt of that in coz drinkin mildly salty water just bleh.

i rly enjoy the willfull denial aspect for mental and spiritual health. then there's the physical health ofc that goes beyond just fat lass, there cellular autophagy, reduced inflammation, increased immune response, improved insulin sensitibity, increased growth hormone, etc.

the free app Easy Fast goes into detail on what is happening at each stage of a fast up to 72hrs+ and has sources for the claims so check that out if u wanna give it a try

If you’re smoking weed to cope with a traumatic death in the family, a bad breakup, or to help with insomnia. Don’t. Quit right now and allow yourself to process those emotions. Stop running away from that s***.

Waiting at least 20 to 30 minutes to brush gives our bodies a chance to restore the enamel surface in a process called remineralization. Our bodies are actually designed to help protect our enamel, and the most important part of this process is saliva production

TLDR: wait 20-30 mins after eating or drinking anything that isn’t water, before brushing your teeth (and also wait 20-30 mins after brushing before eating /drinking again)

I think NOT brushing your teeth immediately after puking is kinda common knowledge (rinse w baking soda in water n pinch of salt and wait 20 mins from rinsing to brush) but I think the rest is much less known

Do you have black coffee or tea during your extended fasts ?

Self reflect as constantly as possible

Learn to self reflect without s***ting on yourself

Make a list of task you must complete every single day

Do not let yourself put off on a task on your list for more than 3 days

Either at that point decide you aren’t gonna do it or make yourself do it

Not true i love all my SAD freaks ❤️

Everything ain’t for everybody

thanks for the info on this dude. that app sounds nice

ya although I rly dont f*** w black coffee (god I love some creamer in that s*** so f***in much) so I usually just have 2 cups tea one in the morning and one around noon

Do not go back to that drink you turned your head away from at the bar

hes an overthinker

stop chasing perfection chase yourself in full volume

Be aggressive

I knew you were cream team

I feel like I would either pass out or have rolling panic attacks

Check your credit card data at least once a month

Fight for yourself, nobody else will do it (advice for men mostly)
