I fast Monday, Wednesday, Friday. My bf has dissuaded me from telling the doctor he wants me to go to. I think next time we go I will break it to him and see. He is already mad because I refuse all the Rxs he has prescribed. I am on Rx drugs but they are not exactly what he would want and I found ways of getting the scripts legally but just because I say I want them.
I do fast 4 times per month. 2~3 days on average. I drink lots of mineral water and lemon juice, coffee and tea.
I do 24 -36 hours. I try to hit the 36 mark but don't beat myself up if I only get to 24 hours.
My bf is a food addict and I can get him to do 24 hours with me occasionally but he says my inner anorexic is showing. **
I've only managed to go about 33hrs. At that point I feel the effects of low blood glucose. Heart rate is elevated, very jittery, and sweating.. I feel like at that point, if I don't eat something right away, then I won't have the energy to eat something before too much more time passes.
The goal is to not eat sugar. The body has to manage with stored fat to compensate. It also helps with recalibrating the insulin receptors.
