Fasting - what is your experience like?

[Juraj]

yesterday evening i saw full moon, it mentioned me the year ago - i was experimenting with fasting every month, when moon got on full phase. So i decided, next two days i am going to no-eating .. It is not because i want to lose weight (i dont need it really), its because i want do it for my health - shift up my metabolism, to light digestion, forget to meals for a while and feel again that all feelings f.e. how body reacts, sensibility of body, peace mind etc..

I want to spend these days with a movement, water, nature, learning...

Fruits or some sweet drinks are out of the question.

Hi Juraj,

I hope your fasting is going ok today.

I've done intermittent fasting before, and I did fast for a longer period of time once as well, I think it was about 3 days, but it was a few years ago. Personally I don't particularly enjoy fasting, as I tend to feel light-headed, hence I don't do it nowadays, but I would like to wish you success with yours.

Hi, I am okey, but tomorrow i am going to start eat. Two days (nights) fasting will be probably too stressing for me. Now i am feeling it on my brain - little stress. I had so much optimism, when i wrote this post and started with it.

It was not bad decision to stop it earlier as i planned. I think, I am not giving up, I just decided to listen body and doesn't rape myself longer.

You're right occasionally intermittent fasting will be probably better way.

Thanks for reply.

Hi Juraj,

Glad you're listening to your body, and not extending that fasting window too far - wishing you a good weekend.
