Currently 25 hours into my 42 hour fast. Not hungry, but I want food.

Usually by end of day 2, strictly water only, you have zero appetite and the rest is easy.

I just love food. I don’t normally eat because I’m hungry, I just enjoy it. I should be 500lbs.

pretty interesting to see, OMAD seems the most extreme form of this too yah? it seems difficult to argue with the middle eastern cancer rates. my US working hours may switch to more of a euro/US schedule in which case i should have the opportunity to sleep more/eat less/try this out more easily, so hoping that happens and will see what i can try changing up.

How is omad the most extreme when there are a few of us going multiple days without eating? OMAD is honestly pretty easy.

i guess anything beyond OMAD i don't see people regularly doing. eg. maybe they occasionally do a 3 day fast or whatever, but i assume no one out there is only eating every 3 days. not voluntarily at least...

Yeah eating only every third day sounds like a really bad idea.

When I'm on path I do carnivore or ketovore. My brother in law has done 5:2 for years it works for him. 2 days a week he highly restricts his calories, just has soup I believe.

Gotcha. Yeah, I guess OMAD would be the most extreme and I don’t even do that daily.

Will try seven days fasting and see how it goes. Never done it before.

You done a 3 day before?

1-2 days is easy, 3 days gets uncomfortable for me at the end, but usually only at the end of the day before bed. The next day isn't bad in the morning when I wake up. I've usually broken fast at that point and had a meal though.

I think 7 days with nothing but water is extreme though.

Do you mean you will try intermittent fasting for a week? If so, it is ok, because I do 16:8 for 7 days once a month. Usually, I follow this guide https://betterme.world/articles/16-8-intermittent-fasting-7-day-meal-plan/ I should say, it works great for me. I lost weight and feel more energetic.
But still, it is important to consult a doctor before you start (if you haven't done it yet, of course). Also, for the successful implementation of intermittent fasting, you need to consider some things first, like choosing a convenient eating window, including a variety of nutrient-rich foods in your diet, eating to satiety, etc.
In case you do everything properly, you will see the result and you will want to continue, believe me. Good luck!

I do 16:8 basically every day and notice virtually no difference. I don’t eat until lunch at 11a, so 16:8 is easy. This isn’t for any special reason except that I don’t like breakfast

I think it’s been pretty solidly proven than when calories are equated, there’s nothing special about normal meal timing vs fasting

 

[Pro Stock John]

Yep I pretty much do 16:8 every day.
