The end of 72 hours is coming up in 30 minutes. No physical hunger at all. I think I will carry on at least until tomorrow, maybe Friday, thanks to the motivation from a certain someone. Plus, I'm headed into immune cell regeneration now. It is soooo nice to FINALLY be in control of food instead of letting food (junk) be in control of me. 😊

I love that feeling Zen, I walked into the grocery store this morning, I skipped breakfast to get an early start so I was a little hungry. I power walked around the store collected almost everything I bought in the produce section. The bakery did NOT entice me, even a little bit. I walked it one more time in case I missed anything I needed and strolled out 73.00 poorer and not a single solitary bit of processed food left with me 💕💕💕 Naysayers can naysay all they want, it works to put you back in control.

@debra 💯 percent truth! I actually crave veggies now, and have loathed most of them my entire life! Great job!

So my next fast started 15 minutes ago, mine is actually an 84 hour fast because I fast from 7pm to 7 am every day, so I don't eat after 7PM, my fast offically begins at 7 am on Thursday, it offically ends at 7pm Saturday night, but I don't eat after 7, so I break my fast at 7 am on Sunday.....total time 84 hours to do my 72 hour fast

Nice plan, Deb! I'm currently 74.5 hours in. I will probably break it sometime tomorrow. I thought about waiting until Friday because the hubby comes home that evening. I enjoy my meals with him, therefore I don't fast on the weekends. Well... maybe like a 16:8 or 18:4. I do however keep on it keto on refeeds. I enjoy lots of low carb veggies & some berries occasionally.

Ahhh, speaking of berries, we just picked two gallons off of our blue berry bush and half gallon from our blackberries, hubby estimates we have about 300 lbs of fruit on our pear trees, I love country living!!!

Oh!!! congrats on the ability to keep it going! My hours fasting just ended up that way because I wanted my fast to end on Sunday morning, it's my only day off and I have a colostomy, so when I break my fast there is all kinds of digestive activities that occur and I prefer that to happen when I am home, even though, since I started breaking my fast with A1 Greens, the probiotics make that much easier, it also gives me all day to work my way up to full meals. I'm better when I ease back into eating as opposed to going hog wild and eating everything in sight. Back in 2016 it was nothing for me to break my fast at Mexican Restaurant, but I try to treat my body gently now days. It's been good to me over the years, least I can do now is return the favor.

Wow, Deb! That's some awesome fruit production! I have some fruit trees, a black berry bush, a couple of grapevines, and a couple of pecan trees. All of them are still young though. The only thing that has produced anything is my peach tree. I had to pick them early and put them inside to ripen because the chickens were jumping up & helping themselves. Now, my middle child is eating them up before they can even get ripe...lol.

Good luck with the colostomy! Yea, you better get right before you go! 😂 I've been meaning to check into some probiotics. I know my biome HAS to be all out of wack! You are so right about the body. I have abused it so badly, it is time that I show it some gratitude.

@Plumpkitty Thank you so much! 😊

LOL, Zen, I have a colostomy (bowel diversion) I've had it for 13 years. It saved my life in 2010. It's TMI I know, but when I eat my first meal it's very active and very noisy. Over the years I have taught her manners and she is usually very discreet, right up till I break an EF, then she shows out. The greens drink gets my digestive juices activated gently, the pre and probiotics gets my tummy ready to digest food faster. It also gives me my basic nutrition in an easily absorbed form so I don't have refeed syndrome. I use it every morning on my eating days too, just to make sure I get everything I need, even if I don't manage to get it with my meals.

These stories of fasting are amazing!! I'm just getting started on my weight loss. I'm 180 with a goal of 135. Does anyone have any tips for fasting for me? Do you just not eat anything? Can you still have your coffee (I have mine with half &half)? Do I need any supplements or special vitamins? Thanks so much for any tips!!!

@jkelly I only have water (lots of it!), black coffee in moderation, and some green tea. No food, no sweeteners of any kind. There are some variations of fasts where a little creamer & bone broth is allowed, though you won't get autrophagy that way. I take some sea salt water when needed & magnesium (I get my magnesium through Epson Salt baths). Your best bet is to watch some of the videos I have shared throughout my posts, and/or all things Dr Jason Fung on YouTube. Fasting can be dangerous if you have certain medical conditions or are taking certain medications, and should only be done under Dr's supervision if this applies to you. If you feel unwell at any point, you should stop. DISCLAIMER: I am not a medical dr, and this is not medical advise.

@Deb, oh... my bad! lol, I was thinking colonastapy. Thanks for the tip on the greens drink. It sounds pretty good for the body. Where is it sold?

Online of course, the actual name is Athletic Greens, it has a funky taste of papaya to me. I started it a few months ago because I discovered I was not digesting my vitamin tablets at all (we won't talk about how I discovered this TMI) but it has helped my digestive system enormously. It's 50 calories per scoop (12g) I do one per day on my eating days, before coffee, on a completely empty stomach.

Thank you much! 😊 Would you kindly share how many carbs are in it?

I am typing the name wrong, it's AG1, and it is a fruit and greens mix so it has 6 total carbs, 2 fiber for a total of 4 net carbs per serving, it's listed in the food database so it's easy to add to the food diary. I've taken a few greens supplements over the years, so far this one seems to be supporting my needs at the moment.

That's not a bad carn count at all. Thanks again for sharing! 😊 I will check it out.
