Found myself with a bit less stress and slightly less obligations for a few days, so I thought, why not? Try a 7 day fast.

I allow myself up to 500 calories per day and very little protein.

Since i am near the end of day 2... i have some idea that i may make it.

Keep going TedB you can do it!!!

“Mind over Matter” TedB..
Hang in there, the first 2 days are the hardest and then the body starts to quickly adapt.
 

Keep going....you can do it.

So you can have up to 500 calories per day while fasting?

Why very little protein?

A while ago we had lengthy discussions about a fast that can trigger rapamycin. It was to be at least 5 days and we had a well versed dietitian advising us that we should limit our protein intake to 15 grams per day during the fast.

 

I haven't gotten further than 2 days myself, but i am gradually rotating the meals I fast and the days I fast - i suppose partly to keep my body guessing, and also because it is a very big thing to fast for 5 days.

I hope you get this done, more power to you - but i think the big thing is to keep fasting a part of your life.

Well this is day 5 and it was easy so far, but yesterday was tough.

I do let myself have soup twice a day... and a nibble of peameal bacon or cheese.

I may as well go for the next 2 days.

Not my idea of fun, but i believe it will be worth it for my health in a big way.

Good on youTedB..

Thats awesome and Im sure you have achieved Autophagy. Im coming off a three day fast myself and the key is to not go crazy and eat whatever you desire. I try to do the Keto route with an occasional cheat meal.
