Fasting

[Speaker to Animals]

I want to know how this 40 hour goes

My wife and kids are out of town right now so this is prime time for me to experiment

Right now is when I normally would start cooking my meals for today. I feel like I could eat, but no insulin spike causing a lot of hunger, but that's normal. I haven't fasted longer than usual yet.

If that experimentation involves fasting, instead of alcohol and hookers, then you are old as fuck, my friend.

I know. Sad state of affairs

I think you should just be a man about it, and go for a month.

40 days and 40 nights or nothing at all.

. . . 4 hours later:




j/k, hang in there.

[Speaker to Animals]

I definitely feel hunger now, but it's not that bad. I usually break my intermittent fast right about now (about 20 minutes ago).

You mean, you eat lunch?

I wonder if 40 hours of fasting plus exercise will put you in ketosis.


Seems possible.

Sure. If you burn through your glycogen stores. Keto diet is just an attempt to approximate some of the effects of fasting, really.

[Speaker to Animals]

24 hour mark.

No big deal. Not really a struggle at all.

[Speaker to Animals]

Getting ready for bed. I feel hungry, but not really painfully so.

I am starting to think this is not as difficult as it sounds if you decide you want to do it. We'll see tomorrow..

I wonder how difficult it would be to make it to the 1 August.
