I'm doing my first multi-day fast.
Had dinner on the evening of August 1st.
August 2nd, 86.8 Kg, 191.3 lbs
August 3rd, 84.6 Kg, 186.5 lbs
I lost 5 lbs in the first day, which is clearly water weight, probably 4 lbs of water weight and 1 lbs of fat weight, approximately. On the second day I might lose 1 lbs, we'll see, I'm at ~39 hours now and all of the fasts I've done so far have been ~36 hours. I feel totally fine. Incidentally I got my blood pressure taken this morning and it was ~116/79. I wonder if I'll get an energy surge tomorrow or the day after?
Saturday morning and Sunday morning I have social events, so the longest my fast can go is ~108 hours or 4.5 days. I might do another one next week depending on how this goes. The hardest aspect, as I've stated before, is the anti-social aspect. Fasting rules out most social activities in our food-driven culture.
