oh yeah after 22H mark you basically turn into a hungery wolf

if there is grub in your fridge, you're going to storm it

which is why setting up the right environment for the fast is half the battle

The first bit is the hardest.

The longest I've fasted was seven days, with a two day break, then another 14. After day three, you just kind of get used to it.

That said, my metabolism is unreal. I can eat whatever I want, as much as I want, and never put on weight (although shitty food is noticeable by what it does to my digestion). I can also stop eating for long periods without losing hardly any weight. I've been within ten lbs of my "standard" weight for over twenty years. Doesn't matter if I'm sitting at a desk or lifting heavy materials all day; all I get is some tone.

Do intestinal parasites feed their host in famine times? Maybe I should get some Ivermectin.

Hunger can be quelled with electrolytes, I use a low sodium salt that contains normal table salt, potassium, magnesium, and calcium.

Put that in your water and you don't get hunger pangs, or at least it staves them off.

The easiest way for me to start a fast is to eat a big meal in the middle of the day, and start the fast afterward.


To preface: I usually never eat breakfast, eat a very small lunch to tied me over until dinner and keep energy levels up, and get most of my nutrition at dinner. I do this specifically to help me sleep, as this is one thing (in combination with a few other things) that helps me fall asleep and stay asleep. I've had bad insomnia since I was a teen. I wake up in the middle of the night and my mind races, where it can take hours to fall back asleep, if at all.


I'm currently on a low carb diet. I noticed when I ate a bigger meal in the middle of the day, I wouldn't be hungry at night. So, I started to begin my fasts after those larger than normal lunches, and skipped dinner that night. That period of sleep helped to stave off the initial hunger pangs which often presented the worst hurdle to maintaining a fast, at least for me. It gave enough time for the stomach to shrink and the the body to realize what I was doing. The next day's hunger was still present, but slowly decreased throughout the day. Doing this, if you eat around noon to 2ish, by the time you wake up the next day, you've already been fasting for 16-20 hours.


I've also noticed an increased ability to go low calorie for a few days doing the same routine, where I start with a big lunch, skip dinner, and the next day or two I'll only have very small meals when needed to keep up energy levels and stave off the worst hunger pangs. Apparently, according to a cursory search, if the meals are small enough, this doesn't completely stop a fast and autophagy. But, I'm not as knowledgeable as others on the subject, so take it with a grain of salt. However, this does help practice for fasting, and really helps to lose weight, if it's needed.
