When was the last time you fasted?

I haven't eaten for 4 days.. and before that was one meal a day for a week. Anyone one have experience with this?
NanoriF
Yeah when we were poor I got only one meal a day which was a bit of rice with some ketchup if I was lucky
NanoriF
@Coppercoil :/ wtf

At the height of my anorexia I would alternate 4-5 days without eating and then have a day with one meal. I can鈥檛 fast anymore because it triggers old patterns.

I also fainted a lot and got to the point where I had no nutrients in my body so you know. Be careful with it. Your body needs some food to function
CoppercoilM
@summersong wow I am so glad you shared. I am not sure I was aware of the severity of it. I'm glad you beat it and are doing ok noe. What do you remember about the experience?
SW-User
No, the only fast I usually do is skipping breakfast. More than that, no. I don't see the sense of it. Rather have balanced meals.
this morning. toughest 15 minutes of my life

@saragoodtimes omg.. how did you manage?
@Coppercoil read my comment
Four and a half days couple of weeks back. I had lots of water though.
CoppercoilM
@DrScissorhands that is just terrible. I'm such a bad friend. I would have stayed there and nursed you you know.
No no no. You鈥檙e actually pretty great. Why are you fasting though? @Coppercoil
CoppercoilM
@DrScissorhands I need a perspective shift so I need to open up to some kind of change.

@saragoodtimes I just bought a fresh dozen today. ;)

Nothing like that... but on Sundays I normally eat one large meal now.

And I have gone 36 hours with just chicken broth, spices, water and green tea.
CoppercoilM
@Viper that actually sounds healthy.. maybe I'll switch to that method.
ViperM
@Coppercoil what are you trying to do?
I usually fast only twice a year. I can鈥檛 stay without fruits or water even during this time coz I鈥檓 anemic.
CoppercoilM
@Vivaci ahh.. fruit us wonderful. Candy of the God's.
@Coppercoil yup! I love seasonal fruits.

Why are you fasting though? 馃
Intermittent for a few days. Its been a long time since a really real one.
CoppercoilM
@stound I've been intermittent fasting for years to lose weight then my body one day stopped losing weight.. it just stopped.
PeacefulF
I've fasted on and off for years.

How are you feeling and why are you doing it?
CoppercoilM
@Peaceful I am not sure just tired of everything if that makes sense.
PeacefulF
@Coppercoil I'm sorry my friend. I'm with you on that. If you wanna talk, you know I'm here for you.

Not exactly fasting,but in my younger speed freak days I would not eat for 4-5 days at a time.
SW-User
I haven鈥檛 fast in years but feel like I should do another one
CoppercoilM
@SW-User first two days are terrible then the body kicks into ketosis and you feel weak but ok.
SW-User
Yeah the last time I did it I fasted for I believe 6 days and the first two or three were the only bad ones @Coppercoil
Doomflower36-40, M
Wow 4 days!?
Doomflower36-40, M
@Coppercoil that sounds awesome. It is hard to function like that I bet.
CoppercoilM
@Doomflower yeah.. started on the weekend so the worst of the hunger would be over by Monday. Really low energy though.. mind is ok.. just slow. But calm.

@Coppercoil I like when being light on calories causes my heart rate to slow down.

I can't do a fast. I don't know why but I get fairly sick when I've tried...
marsbarF
Are you fasting like that on purpose?
wildbill8336-40, M
every night when I go to bed, does that count? 馃
SW-User
Doesn鈥檛 that mess with your metabolism?
TexChikF
I only had breakfast yesterday
hunkalove61-69, M
Many times. When I was too poor to eat.
LilymoonF
I don't fast... I get too hangry lolz

What is your goal to save money馃
SW-User
When I was at my worst. Meaning when I was using meth and cocaine heavily. I would sometimes go for almost a week without eating.


Now that I've escaped from that, I make a point of eating regularly and well.
CoppercoilM
@SW-User I have a past of some alcohol and drug abuse. If you ever need support I'm here. Don't hesitate I won't judge.
