Thanks !!

Just a test that requires a fasted state.

Yeah its weird, it calms the hunger right down especially dry fasts because nothing is being consumed.

Totes agree. Dry fasts have less hunger than Water fasts for me. Glad to hear it about your test. Hope it all goes well. Don't forget to study! ;)

Ahhhhh the joys of breaking the long fast

NOT

I had forgotten about the explosive BMs. Does this happen to anyone else, or am I a unicorn?

I don't normally try EF or dry fast (except Yom Kippur) but i had several reasons to and it seemed like good timing. After this I'll move back to 20:4 then 18:6.

Yeah, EFs are tough especially when it's just WF! I find them practically impossible. :( Me=wimpy Most of my OMADs (and I don't do a lot of those) are 22:2 or 20:4 and I purposely don't worry about hitting Protein goals. But my other days, I try to hit my protein goal each day during the eating window--usually 16:8 or 18:6. I had a big night last night and am up a couple of pounds of Water weight today, so it's on like Donkey Kong.

Once a month Resetters do a 5 day fast. I'm not being very compliant this week. My excuse rationalization is Memorial Day. *sigh*. Oh well. Will get back on it today and go for 5 consecutive days with is. It's really an FMD of sorts featuring 2x a day green smoothies and unlimited green veg. Come do it with me. :) You'd be surprised how easy it is to get your protein in on it. I was given the ok to have hemp hearts and chia from my oncologist. :D

5 days? That's too hard core for me 😂 plus I actually did promise my Team i wouldn't do long restrictive fast.

The smoothie and vege days I *may* be able to swing...

But congrats on the new foods additions!! Can't wait for you to try chia pudding

Nooo! It's 5 days eating basically vegan. Like you. :) I can't do 5 days of a WF. But I can do 5 days of an FMD eating greens/veggies and green smoothies. And getting Protein in from hemp hearts, chia, some garbanzo Beans. My carbs are still net 50g or less per day. :)

Saw this today. It didn't come as any big surprise. I think we all remember experiencing this? It's an old study.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
