RE: STARTING A MULTI-DAY WATER FAST [COMPLETED - 3 DAYS 6 HOURS]⏰
Oh wow 🙌. I just checked the clock.....1day 18hours so far. Keep going Wil. Fasting is a really great way to repair and renew the body. I love intermittent fasting and I follow the 16/8 version everyday. 16 hours of fasting and 8 hours feeding window where I have two meals a day.
I have been doing it since August 2017 and have been able to maintain a steady weight. That process you talked about where the body cleans and resets itself is called autophagy. The main benefit of an extended fast👏.
Though I have never had an extended fast I heard that the daily fasting is also beneficial and have seen the effects first hand🙌.
Keep going and I am wishing you the very best. Have an awesome Monday and productive week ahead 👍😁

Hi Eric!
Thank you for dropping by with the positive encouragement! I always get a little boost when I see your words in the comment area of my posts! :)
I'm currently at 3 days 11 min without food (only water) and feeling pretty good actually! Yesterday was pretty tough and I was pretty darn hungry so I'm glad to be into day 3 for sure!
I haven't tried the 16/8 fasting method but it does seem that it could be a viable way to fast as it would likely fit easier into real life. I have had to take 7 days off from all of my regular activity to do this fast... It's difficult in that way for sure! I'll have to look a little more into the different intermittent ways to fast.
It's actually something I have been studying more... After all! When your fasting what else are you going to do?! Learn more about fasting and think a lot about food! lol! :D
Autophagy! That's the word I'm learning more about! Pretty interesting stuff! I found a really good Youtube video about fasting by Dr. Eric Berg. If your interested I'll include it here at the bottom of this comment.
Eric! I hope that January is shaping up to be a good start to your New Year! Here's to our continued friendship and your health, wealth, and happiness my friend!
