This has piqued my interest. I've been wanting to get back into exercise for a while. Fasting is harder for me, but something I've considered doing in the past. I've gone a day or 2 without eating just because not hungry, especially in the summer, but never beyond that.
It can be hard at first but it's worth it. It makes you think about food differently. It's beneficial in other ways too: - Time saver. Think of how much time you spend a) thinking about what to eat, b) buying stuff to eat, c) preparing stuff to eat, d) eating, e) cleaning up after you eat, f) shitting out what you ate. - Increases stem cell regeneration in your body. - Helps treat and prevent cancer. Look this one up it is for real, it may be as effective or better than conventional treatments. - Increases your mental strength/willpower. By which I mean you realize how much willpower you already had, and you shed certain fears you didn't know you were holding on to.
Anyway try to convince yourself to do it, I think 3 days (72 hours) is a good length for a first try. It gets easier the longer you go, it's like your body forgets how to feel hungry or something.
