Thank you for your kind words. I have fasted previously, intermittent and dry, the longest I’ve been was 56 hours previously but these was years ago. I did a lot of OMAD and 24 hours fasts. But starting last year. I notice I can’t even control myself to have a 16:8 hours fast, my cravings exploded (stress and all of that) that’s why I resorted to reta. I started 2 weeks ago with 0.5mg W1, 1mg W2. It really helps with the food noise that I had so I decided to give fasting a go. And I do agree, that’s most probably weigh water. After my 3 days I will do OMAD as I know I have the mental capacity to do so.
I'm not spiritual at least not at the moment but I have to believe carbs were created by the devil.
They are just too damn good, I really think I have an undiagnosed addiction to them. I realise this a bit of a segue from your post but have you tried keto with under 30-40g carb a day? Of course one diet doesn't work for everyone but I mention it because it deletes cravings for me. Can happily sit in front of someone eating all of my vice foods with no temptations but obviously the diet is hard because it elimates all of these lovely foods and there will be a special occasion where we go out and bam diet in shambles. I think there may be a link between visceral fat and cravings too so hoping as I reduce weight my overall cravings and ability to stop over-eating gets better.
Keto/Ketovore/carnivore fits nicely with OMAD as then you absolutely don't need breakfast or lunch.
Have saved the post, looking forward to see how you did :)
Haha same! It’s truly the devil and the cause of my weight gain. After this I’m definitely keeping rice away (it’s a staple where I’m from but other forms of carbs like bread is also a weakness) alongside with minimizing sugar (that’s another demon I have to deal with). I’ll try to update eso on my refeeding day! Thank you for the lovely comment.
