I have concluded that those that advocate doing this fast once a year may well be on the right past. I have done a three day fast and it is no problem at all. 7 days will be a test though. Only on topic comments are allowed on this thread but guests can post if they are interested. Is anyone interested or do they know anyone that has done this.

This would be a good start to a longer effort for a person changing to a healthier diet. For example I reckon the sales at McDonalds and similar places really increased with covid, when the drive through was pushed and usually the only option. People gorging on "artificial" food is absolutely crazy.

The two lads above added a lot of salt.

Is tea (with milk) allowed? Couldn't last it without me tae.
The small amount of milk would spike your insulin levels a little each time you had a cup. This could potentially take you out of ketosis, or stop you going into it, and being in ketosis leads to autophagy: your body getting rid of some damaged cells. But I think you’d still get most of the benefits from a 7 day fast.

Better to do it with some milk than not do it at all.

I very rarely eat burgers and certainly not cheap ones from mcds etc. The only thing from McDonald's I normally have is their coffee because it used til recently be 99c rather than $3 plus elsewhere. The only place I have a burger from is a chain called


The owner is a anti abortion Christian and they close on Sundays. He and the chain are famous.

Maybe one a month

Today, celebrating a birthday, I am going to a steak place in The Seaport, in Boston.

I will have a steak and that might happen about thre times a year.

Then I will do my 50 hour fast.

In medieval times, the poor drank beer as a food substitute, full of hops and nourishment. You could also do this with wine I believe, so cut out the food and drink for 7 days, I reckon Myles can tell us if it can be done?

I believe that you could nearly live of the Guinness of 50 years ago ~ ~ But they changed the way the Guinness was made ~ I believe that there was more hops and nourishment in it back then.

I am 90 minutes in, and already I am beginning to hallucinate.
I saw a large very obese 22 stone slob who then morphed into a 10 stone rat faced ugly hoor that reminded me for a few seconds of a rat .
It got worse
Rat face started playing on plastic buckets as if he was a drummer for The Rolling Stones in his own mind.


So we are off on the 50 hour fast, with regular updates.

After a very indulgent Xmas and a January full of broken deadlines I’m beginning a few months of one meal a day today.

700 grammes of Air-fried chicken with lots of veg. About 1500 calories.

Black decaf coffee and water!

19 hours in and no physical effect at all. I do not feel hungry. It is mental, a habit. I just want to pick up an apple or a banana.

So doing 50 hours is easy enough.

3 days is a tougher hike.

i regularly do 5 in a row. It's all a head thing. Your body wont miss food if you have plenty of fat to lose. Have some electorlite salts for later in the week, day 3/4.

Very good for you, fasting. I only eat once a day anyway, but I do the 2 day quite regularly, black coffee is my must have though - don't want to give that up.
This week is my birthday so I will be eating out, but I'll try the full seven days after and report back.
happy birthday willow enjoy the wisdom and the insights and look after yourself financially and emotionally for the future and be a little ruthless doing so .
-the future --somebody gave him a Ferrari now and you are always somehow playing catch up now with your plans .
a man i dont like said ""if you ever want to give god a laugh tell him your plans for tomorrow ""
so be good to yourself willow in a careful strategic way .

40 hours in and I still have a slight headache. That is the only effect.
I am not in the least bit hungry. I think the headache could be withdrawal from caffeine.

I will use this break to quit drinking caffenated coffee. A person can spend a lot of money on coffee here. One dunkin donuts large a day is about $1200 a year . I rarely have a muffin, but for those that do it is about 2000 dollars a year.
