- Tharkun 7y agoGrandparent is talking about religious fasting, not a diet. It's likely not about calories.
- Zaak 7y agoIndeed. It's abstaining from all food and drink for a goal of 24 hours. I generally manage about 12, but it's something I'm working on improving.
- beagle3 7y agoDo note that almost everyone else only abstains from food, but does drink a lot of water (often with electrolytes). It makes a huge difference, irritability and otherwise.
- Zaak 7y agoThat's good to know. Fasting for me is partly an exercise in choosing to do something that's uncomfortable for my body to achieve a higher purpose. It is explicitly not supposed to be damaging or unhealthy in any way (people who are sick etc are discouraged from fasting). I will look into staying hydrated while abstaining from food.
- blotter_paper 7y agoI'm trying it with caffeine pills; also great!
- jawilson2 7y agoOr, a carb-heavy diet. When I fast while doing keto, it's almost not noticeable, and I'll often just forget to eat and suddenly realize I haven't eaten in a day or more. If I've cheated on carbs and try to jump back into fasting, I'm ready to commit murder after 10 hours.
- Zaak 7y agoThanks for the info. I tend to have a carb-heavy diet. I wonder if doing a low-carb diet for a couple days before fasting would help. Or do you think it would take longer than that to acclimate?
