I just got done with my water fast and will be doing 18:6 moving forward starting in a few days. I will be focusing on lunch as my main meal, and plan to have my eating window from 11am to 5pm.
*What is your eating window? Why?
*Do you snack during the 6 hours?
*Do you tend to eat the same meals daily?
*Please share any information you think might be important to know for weight-loss. I still have 60 pounds to lose before hitting my GW! Lost 29 during my fast.

Thanks everyone!! 🤍☀️

Listed below is my (NEW) plan. Thank you so much for all the help! 🤍

Day 1 and 2 broth only. Having my second cup right now, and it’s GLORIOUS!!! 🤤🤤🤤

Day 3 and 4 blended soups (zucchini and squash with broth), a little sauerkraut and watermelon chopped and chewed really well. Sauerkraut and watermelon enjoyed separately of course, that would be gross. 🤣

Day 5-7 whole foods: steamed veggies (zucchini, and squash) avocado, meat (chicken, and cod), jammy eggs 😋 and greek yogurt. All VERY small amounts, not everything all on the same day, and meals spaced out over 3 to 4 hours.

I’m 38 days into a 40 day water fast and I haven’t been hungry since day 9 or 10… maybe. I don’t even think about food and haven’t in a long time. That was until today. OMG did I mess up! I’m SO HUNGRY because I decided to see if I could still jog like I use to 10 years ago. Good news, I can… woohoo! Go me!! 🤣 Bad news, OMG I’m my stomach is making all kinds of weird noises, I of course am drinking my water with my electrolytes but I’m so hungry!!! 😝 July 1st can’t come fast enough, I will be enjoying some low sodium broth then in a few hours I will get to have a VERY small amount of jammy eggs, avocado and mixed with some plain greek yogurt. No more jogging until after my fast is done! 😆

I have been walking but this morning was my first time going for a jog in 10 years. It went better than expected, it could have been worse! 🤣 I joined this sub, because soon I will be eating food again, and I will be focusing on clean eating and woking on building my endurance again. 10 years ago, I was running up to 6 miles, now I will be HYPED when I’m able to complete my first mile. 😆 Just looking for support, suggestions, and accountability. ☀️

So far so good!! I’m down 22.8 pounds. I did not exercise the first half of my fast, I wanted my body to acclimate and adjust to only having water, no food. Now I’m walking a mile and half sometimes three miles each day and that is really helping with my sleep and weight loss.☀️

I drink one of the three every morning but I’m wondering if one is better than the other when doing an extended fast?

I’m super hyped I made it 3 days on water only. 72 hours was my original goal, but I feel great mentally and physically (down 4.1 pounds) I’m going to keep going! Anything past 72 hours is pure willpower… let’s do this! 🥰☀️🙌🏻🙏🏻
I love reading all of the posts, and the support that is given. keep it up! ♥️
