I'm curious if you considered a 4 day fast every other week instead. The first two days are the hardest days of an extended fast (hungry, lethargic), so you might find this approach easier and more beneficial.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoI’ve found coffee and the occasional 200mg caffeine pill with 400mg of L-Theanine helpful to push through the first day of a multi day fast, when your body is complaining about burning up its glucose reserves.

- toomuchtodo 5y agoYes, I work out daily, 30 minutes on a row machine, 30 minutes strength training. Strength training has been found to protect muscle tissue from wasting during fasts, and the cardio is because I enjoy it.

- nsxwolf 5y agoThat's an interesting idea. The only thing that would give me pause is I know I'd get a lot of "Oh, look, dad is being weird and not eating dinner with the family all week again". The 48 hours is basically "hey I'm skipping dinner tonight".
