Orb Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I will be doing an extended water fast in order to: -Face any left over discord that's being avoided -Detox from caffeine, kratom, kava -Reset and heal the gut in order to enjoy a healthy diet full of fruits, veggies, and healthy meats I'll be putting in my experience with the fast at the end of every 24 hours that passes. Today I will eat until 12pm then the fast begins after that. Quote Mention ♾️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orb Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 (edited) I really started today. There were some thoughts about eating food but I didn't listen to them. At around 19 hours into the fast the hunger began to fade away, my body is burning ketones now and it feels nice. There's more focus, colors seem more vivid and brighter. All I've had so far is just water, a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar first thing in the morning (diluted with water), and a small cup of coffee. I'm feeling great right now. Currently at 20 hours. The vision is to fast for 72 hours total. Edited July 13 by Orb Quote Mention ♾️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pluto Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) Well done, I usually do 16 - 20 hours daily without food. You can start by intermittent fasting and eating no later than 6 - 8 pm and no sooner than midday. This is ideal for the body and have supportive herbal teas in between, sometimes cacao or matcha or coffee is used for those challenging transitioning days. Once you get the hang of it you can try skip a whole day, or just do a short 3 - 4 day fast. Then slowly introduce food, one food at a time. (very important). Then maybe in few weeks or few months try aim for 7 days, 14, 21 and so on. A supportive and peaceful environment is ideal or it can be challenging. You can also do a fruit/veg juice fast which gives you some extra energy and vitamins for support in the city life to get a "feel" of things or teas. All the best 🙂 Edited July 20 by Pluto Quote Mention If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago.

Mandy Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 @Orb Unsolicited advice but, I would do a veggie/fruit fast rather than one than a full fast is just another adrenaline dump. Cold plunging and fasting is AMAZING for kicking yourself into a new state and slapping you out of a funk, however, it dumps adrenaline in your system, it's like a drug that way. If you want to heal from substance abuse, and have real stability you want the slow, tortoise wins the race kind of approach.

Orb Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 @Mandy I looooooooooooooooooove cold showers. Unfortunately where I live in its really hot and even at the coldest setting the water is just room temperature lol. I think veggie fruit fast is too expensive.

Orb Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 @Mandy juices make me tired though, depends on what kind, but raw fruit juices is liquid sugar basically, and because it's juice there wouldn't be any fiber to slow the absorption.

Mandy Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 @Orb I don't typically juice anything except celery. I eat a lot of apples and bananas, fresh spinach, cucumbers, oranges, and frozen wild blueberries. You can leave out the pricier stuff. Quote Mention Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orb Posted August 19 Author Share Posted August 19 @Mandy I want to juice stuff like ginger, turmeric, and celery. A fresh juice made from apple, ginger, celery, and lime would be delicious. Quote Mention ♾️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
