13 days is my max so far. I could have gone longer I felt. Broke it due to holiday. This year I will plan better and go longer.
Good for you! The longest I’ve done is 7 days, but not recently. I’m good at 2 days at the most. Any fasting has beneficial effects on the body. People tell me I have such great will power. I really don’t. I tell them it’s becaue I practice.
Gin Stephen’s book Feast, Fast, Repeat was (and still is) a great resource for me. I’ve read several others, but she tells the science behind fasting in a way that is understandable to most people and offers ways of starting the fasting lifestyle. If has taught me the difference between ‘wanting’ food and ‘needing’ food.
Thanks for the post. I hope others are inspired by you.
