40 Day Fast

[joopster]

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.

Thanks!

I do love spaghetti and meatballs...


Getting my tapatalk on!

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.

 

[joopster]

So here I am again - almost a year later - let's do it! Day 1 was today.

Prime.

 

[ynot2k]

Did you make it the entire 40 days last year?

 

[joopster]

No I made it 23 days.  FAIL! Day 2!

 

[jpr46815]

Please keep those fasting thoughts up north of me.  I need to lose a few pounds but I couldn't imagine a week let alone making it 23 days.

So close ???    well pretty close

[joopster]

i failed.....again.

 

[susieqz]

 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.
