Feathered bangs A+ stylin. Nicely manicured hands.

I'm impressed! Big high fives.

I'm a firm believer in a chaotic living environment both physically and mentally are contributors to a chaotic mind. My mother taught me that one and you can have that one for free.

Agreed.

I believe it too. I used to keep things totally spotless and empty but Juris is an entropy machine. Please convince him to put his clothes in the god dang hamper. And ask him how that pillow keeps getting on the floor.

Little bit of Choas is ok. My goals are always keep my worktop tidy. The rest can get ran through round robin like weekly.

Though shower, bath, sink gets cleaned daily. With use as well. Might be a bit much.

I did my yard biweekly when I was feeling amazing.

Yard is like the 1 reason I want an actual house with some land. Gardening is neat.

So apparently the main risk from long fasts comes from mineral difficiency. If someone starts eating after a long fast and does not have sufficient potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium within their tissues in reserve and get none slowly from food intake, blood serum levels drop and the heart stops as the body tries to digest new food.

Also thiamin and B vitamins. Think it's B2 is another main one that becomes depleted.

yep you skimmed right by my earlier message about sodium and potassium, has to do with one of the exchanges related to the heart pumping.. There is drops you add to water keto drops or something, so that your water provides you those necessary vit/mins. Fast wisely.

You probably already know, but just in case, try to ease back into food with some broth type meals first when your done fasting.

I didn't precisely skip it. I did pay attention.

I've been drinking a lot of celery juice n stuff. Taking extra potassium salt. Drinking tea.

I hear lemon juice + salt helps.

I'm probably not in a good place to do a long fast. Back on day 2 again.

Seems like IF is the safest option for me unless I actually prepare for a longer fast.

So far I went 4 days.

It's a pain to fast with my family. They don't eat right. And they don't understand nutrition at all.

We'll see. I probably shouldn't do a long fast on a week with a blood test. I am in a really crappy place. I don't feel like doing things right and my attitude is really negative. Like I'm being more angry and anorexic than healthy. It's almost more protest, hunger strike in reality.

I have been getting better food in. Fresh vegetables and fruits. Sporadically though. If I wasn't fasting though. I end up with a lot more fast food.

My goal in 2018 was to go to meal replacement and dry, canned goods entirely to completely decouple from my families eating habits. A lot happened that crushed that attempt and put me at the mercy of others.

I did one fast that lasted 4-5 days on strictly water + vit/minerals. Was a fantastic transition into IF since you get used to the hunger pang fading.
