Re: “Re: “(By the way, do let us know how your fasting regimen works out.)””Fast #2 is now over. By 12:01 a.m. I was cooking grilled cheese sandwiches. This second fast was harder than the first even though it was eight hours shorter. I was pretty hungry for the last six hours. I took a nap and dreamed about eating grits since, in my dream, they weren't really food.

To meet my "one week" goal, I've got two fasts to go: Monday and Wednesday. I'm thinking now of cancelling "Vegan Tuesday." I can't see myself surrounding a vegan day with two total fasts.

Re: “(By the way, do let us know how your fasting regimen works out.)”
Will do. I'm finding that absent-minded mistakes are easy to make. I was outside working today and came in thirsty. I went and poured myself a 6 oz glass of gatorade. Just as I finished it I realized my mistake. Fortunately, 6 ounces of gatorade are just 40 calories. Still, I screwed up. @#%!

I talked to my builder about it today. He said that he has fasted for 24 hours before and became incredibly hungry. I guess I'm lucky. Both Thursday and today I've gotten a bit hungry by 1 p.m. but it didn't worsen. Hopefully that's how it will be today too. (Currently 2:30 p.m.) However, after 32 hours of fasting, I found Friday morning that I had a slight headache. It wasn't a migraine though so it wasn't a big problem.

My wife has been drinking coffee with collagen added. The collagen is a medicine she takes, so it's not counted as "food." It is, she says, about 40 calories. Her point is that 40 calories isn't a big deal. But I'll try not to drink gatorade during the fasting periods - or anything else I shouldn't.

My Amazon Echo says that a cup of black coffee only has 2.4 cal. I may start drinking that on my fast days but Lipton tea is even better: Zero calories. And I'm not a black coffee fan but tea is all right.
