I've managed a 7 day fast.

and still had headaches?

I can't just ignore them and still do my job,.

wow

I need to fast

you can call me HTAM if ya want

I chased my headaches with migraine meds.

ohhh

that might defeat the purpose no?

Welcome htam

I lost during that time.

I've tried fasting but failed every time

To a discussion about diets

Fuck

well, instead of 7 day fasts, aim for routine.

so, 2 day fast every month

The crippling headaches happen at about the 16 hr mark.

yup

I know to take the electrolytes.

Ok I was about to ask

Hell, I was the one reminding people about that here.

if you do more regularly, headaches should go away

They got worse.

my first few fasts, i got headaches, but not any more

I was also told the hunger subsides after day 4.

It got worse.

how long do you fast?

Need electrolytes

@Xychotic did you drink enough water?

I was drinking electrolytes like crazy.

Ah

could be your body has a lot of adjustments to be made

Yep.

Well youre a heavier guy as well

also, what you want is lots of water.

I have to figure out exactly what to do to align with my unique kaleidoscope of shit.

takes time to figure out your body.
doesn't help with all of the garbage in food these days

took over a year to really get a hold of it for myself.

So your body wants to satiate those cells faster than fat breakdown through ketosis

but, as a result, addiction free!

Recently discovered industrial beef fat grosses me out but pasture raised pretentious grass fed beef is great.
