I shed 15 pounds in ten days. This is what I discovered about fasting.

Why?
The
majority of people are misinformed about fasting. They believe it's all about
religion or weight loss, or that they will die if they go without food for
twelve hours.
There
are several advantages to fasting for mental and physical health. In addition
to lowering blood sugar and cholesterol and reducing inflammation, it can help
avoid a number of ailments and is a fantastic way to strengthen your will and
discipline.
The
advantages vary according on how long you fast. I've completed a few one- to
two-day bars, a few three- to four-day fasts, and a seven-day fast two years
ago. This is my account of my 10-day attempt at fasting.
How it went
First Day
In
the morning, I weighed in at 148 pounds. I didn't feel very hungry all day. I
worked a lot, went to the gym, took a couple walks, and had a good day.
Day Two
My
weight was 144 pounds (-4 pounds). For the most part, I was pretty hungry. In
the morning, I was fatigued. Around nine in the morning, I became hungry.
devoted some time to concentrate on data analytics. I've discovered that taking
zinc supplements when I'm empty stomach upsets my stomach. visited the gym and
unwinded.
Day Three
My
weight was 142 pounds (six pounds). Our board of advisors meeting was held for
the Twos. That went smoothly, and I continued to work on data and development
outside of it. I wasn't that hungry when I went to the gym again. It occurred
to me that when I became bored, I would become hungry.
Day Four
My weight was 140 pounds (eight pounds). I
danced when I woke up early in the morning to avoid being exhausted. I listened
to Bad Bunny's "Nadie sabe lo que va a pasar manana" and continued
working on Android development. I was a bit bored since I hadn't eaten anything
to break up the day, but I wasn't hungry.
Day Five
My
weight was 138 pounds (-10 pounds). felt a little lethargic since my body was
trying to save energy. I went to the gym, worked on some software, edited a
video, and wrote a blog. It went by fast since I was occupied.
On day six,
my weight was 135 lbs (-13 lbs). I was
definitely worn out. I started eating salt because I believed that the
electrolytes were necessary. That did help a little, but my fatigue persisted.
I went to the gym, continued working on Android, and spent the evenings
unwinding.
On day seven,
I weighed 135 pounds (-13 pounds). I developed
a great deal. I hardly had the energy to perform anything physical since I was
so exhausted. In the evening, I questioned if I should give up, but I
persisted.
On day eight,
my weight was 136 pounds (-12 lbs). I had a
lot more energy. My body was in good shape. My joints felt smooth and there was
very little inflammation. I worked well and unwinded.
On day nine,
I
weighed 135 pounds (-13 pounds). I struggled to concentrate and felt really ill
the entire day. Though there were times when I felt better, I ended it because
I was generally worried and upset. At 3 p.m., I broke my fast with protein
powder, oats, cinnamon, and blueberries. After I ate, I felt very content. I
was appreciative of food and the ability of our bodies to endure hardship.
On day ten,
my weight was 133 pounds (-15 pounds). I was
taken aback by this. I assumed I would gain a few pounds because I had eaten
lunch and dinner the day before, but in reality, I didn't start gaining weight
until two days after I broke my fast.
After nearly two months
Since
December 20, 2023, or about two months ago, I have not fasted. Right now, I
weigh 137 pounds (-11 pounds). In order to avoid injury and to maximize the
benefits of fasting on both the body and mind, I conducted this experiment
carefully and gently. I wish I had persevered through another day, looking
back. I caved in because, at the time, the thought of having to fast for an
additional day and a half was overwhelming me.
What I learned
Our
physical selves are amazing. They have incredible self-care skills.
During
the fast, I felt more relaxed and fluid than I had in months. My body seemed to
be cleansing itself. To function at our best, our bodies require the right
nutrition. I reached the stage where I was practically starving. My body was
hypervigilant, I felt anxious, and I had trouble thinking clearly. To achieve
your best, make sure you're eating enough nutrient-dense foods.
Please
remember to stay safe and see your doctor.
