Still kickin'

Day 16 - temptation to eat is growing.

Trying to think of what to make for my first meal... Any light suggestions?
 
Congrats on the 16 days!  10 was the most I ever did, nothing but water.  I can still remember my first taste of apple juice.  The flavor about blew me away.  I don't remember what I ate for that first meal, pasta I think.

Plan on something very small.

After losing 41 pounds in 28 days last year, even two slices of toast made me feel full & bloated.

Yes, something VERY small, and VERY easy to digest.  Remember, your digestive system will have been mostly "sleeping" for the last x days, and if you shock it too much, it may push it back up, or express straight through.

I would think some pasta, rice or mashed taters, to kick start the digesting.  I would stay away from meat (maybe small amounts) or sauces (acidic) for a couple days after starting to eat again.

I've only done 1 week. Be careful with that first meal...  Definitely want something light. 

Recently picked up a craigslist 22.5" Weber and have made the following: 





Those are bacon Burger dogs. They were outstanding. 

Keep up the fast - Add some juicing!  I love a good unhealthy meal like the rest of us, but I also really like juicing.  You will feel incredible by the direct infusion of vitamins and minerals. 

Enjoy. 
 
GOOD GOD

I'm 651/2 years old and weigh about 128 lbs  (ever since high school).  Just exactly how long do you figure I would last on a 40 day fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  There would be a lot of good food eaten at my wake--unfortunately none by me. Best of luck and send me the excess pounds.

I broke down and ate a couple handfuls of my pretzels I made last night.

I resumed after that - so technically day 1 - but I am saying 18.
 
 hahaha ! the pics made me laugh out loud.

when i tried a fast, the hunger disappeared after day 3. same for you?

the total lack of hunger scared me so much i broke the fast.

for the last 13 months tho, i've been fasting 22hours/day.

that's doable.
 
I;m headed to your place, dang that looks good
