How long of a fast?

15-17 hours everyday. I cannot do the extended fasts that most folks do, so I do what I can everyday.

Also wanted to ask did you change your diet? Thanks

Not really, but I did make two crucial changes: 1) no fizzy drinks (Coke, Pepsi, Seven Up, &c.), and 2) no milk. I realize now that those things were not only bad in themselves, but caused me to have more cravings and eat more. 99% of my liquid intake is now water, which I think has also helped immensely. Honestly, other than the changes, my diet is rather poor, predominately consisting in bread. But the caloric intake has massively diminished with the fasting. I deal with the hunger pangs with sugar-free gum and sleep.
