Always happy to see more people fasting! I have been intermittent fasting for over 2 years now and I do extended fasts of 48 - 72 hours usually once a month for health purposes. Since I started fasting I have felt so much better and my body seems to love it too. I lost a bunch of weight without even trying and I haven't gotten sick since I started so my immune system is obviously working extremely well.

The hardest part of fasting for me is the first day, so I try to stay away from TV or things that remind me of food and I also try to stay very busy with tasks. The hunger pains never last long so just drink some water and try to concentrate on something else. Ultimately reaching your fasting goal will feel incredible!

Before an extended I start a fast I usually try to eat a meal with lots of vegetables and a small portion of protein so my body has the proper nutrients before we kick off the fast.

I usually break it with fruit, then a few hours later eggs or more roasted veggies.

Hope you really consider trying intermittent fasting, it seriously changed my life. Im in the best shape of my life now and I'm in my late 30's.
