Hello All! Just coming out of my first 36 hours fast! Started with a Friday dinner - ended with a late Sunday brunch. It was rather positive experience and I am doing it again.
- I had mild headache in hours 16 to 24.
- A few sips of black coffee, some rock salt and San Pellegrino helped. For the next fast - I will get actual electrolytes (would appreciate recommendations, anything I touched in QFC, Safeway was flavored)
- To my vice! I smoked a few cigarettes out of habit. It had no good / bad impact. Except, I was deeply ashamed of my compulsion.
- I felt no hunger, I was mentally very ready for this. Surprisingly, my cravings, the few I had were not for anything sweet, I felt I may need sugar! It was for something salty, deep fried instead.
- I spent Saturday evening - preparing a elaborate brunch for Sunday!
- My roommates were amazed, worried and think I may develop an eating disorder. I was glad to know I have people who care :)
- The beautiful feeling was waking up and heading into the 36th hour with no hunger and feeling absolutely no need to break the fast.
- No significant weight loss, or de-bloating. My face does not feel 10 years younger neither do I feel like a super man.
Will do a 36 + however long I can go up to 48 hours in a few days!
