Hi mike. I'm finishing my three days without repast midday tomorrow (it's 10pm here) and I thought I'd revisit this old thread while my housemate cooks himself a steak. Do you mind if I ask how your last round of tests went? More specifically, do you reckon the fasting made much of a difference?
Hi, thanks for asking! The last tests were a few weeks ago and they came back clean. Impossible to say if it made a difference, as they could have come back clean regardless. But I like to think it helped. I'm going to do it again in December. Every six months. How has your fast gone? Harder or easier than you thought?
That's extremely good news to hear! I hope you celebrated in suitable fashion with large glasses of tempranillo and a stroll around a nice park. It's remarkable how much your commentary at the start of this thread mirrors my own, especially the part about being confronted with lots of spare time. I've also found myself dwelling far more in the present these past couple of days, but perhaps that's just a natural consequence of spending more time paying attention to how I feel. All up the hunger is certainly bearable and more than balanced by the novelty value; I think once every six months like you plan would work well. I do find myself thinking a lot about food, however. I should also note that, while I recently resumed running after a long hiatus, I've held off from strenuous exercise for the duration of the fast, primarily because I wanted to be confident that I could still manage my workload.
