I fasted once for three days in university. Only water. Bumped into a friend who raved about it and so I tried it out. It was a faith thing.
First day was not bad.
Second day was horrible. That day just happened to be the day when all these university student associations decided to put on a whole bunch of events that had food. The First Nations Student Association served roasted corn, salmon, and bannock. Another club had pizza. An info session for overseas exchange studies had sushi, cookies, veg and dip, and so on. On it went. It sucked. My friend had allowed himself one cup of fruit juice during his three days, so I allowed myself one cup at the exchange info session. Dang, I needed a lot of willpower that day.
Third day was fine, it felt like I was actually starting to adjust to lack of food. But knew eventually I had to eat so fourth day I ate.
I try it every now and then. Honestly, if I can get over the hump of those big hunger pangs, it gets easier. Part of it may be because I eat too much in general though. Hehe.
- schrodinger 12y agoI was doing two day fasts ever other week or so for a while. The first time, it was really hard - I felt sick to my stomach, weak, and almost gave up. After that time though, once I realized that no it's not going to kill me, got much easier and I actually started to enjoy the relaxation it brought.
