There are a variety of ways you can do it. iF is not set in stone. Like I said, I eat 1 large meal a day then either a snack or another smaller meal. Sometimes a snack on produce or bits of meat or a hard boiled egg or even a handful of nuts or seeds it they are available. Bouillon fills me up for about 30 minutes then I go pee and I am not full so I don't even think of it as a meal unless there are meat and veggies in it.
thats not IF..
I ran IF for about six to eight months..
you don't "snack" in your fast window..and I have never seen it call for a 24 hour fast….0 -

Yes, I am type 1 diabetic. What I am saying is that while I had the flu, the only thing I ate was soup and oranges and now fast forward over a month later and I am still craving them. Is this bad or am I okay? Is it a sign of something like maybe some sort of deficiency or an addiction? Should I even be giving it a second thought?0 -
Nevermind. I stand corrected. Eat Stop Eat does 24 hour fasts. I don't know how advisable it is for a diabetic to be doing it.0

I was just getting ready to type that. I was wondering if fasting of any sort was okay for diabetics.mamapeach910 wrote: »Nevermind. I stand corrected. Eat Stop Eat does 24 hour fasts. I don't know how advisable it is for a diabetic to be doing it.

I think one meal a day is called the warrior fast or warrior diet or something like that. That is too hardcore for me right now although I would like to be there at some point. There are a few variations of IF. Having something else small to eat really helps me with where I am right now. I honestly never claimed to fast to start off with. This jerk accused me of fasting in a previous thread then I said look up IF because then he would see that short fasting periods aren't bad. Then he ran with it and accused me of fasting and has been selectivity picking things I say to counter and here we are. I have been up front from the start that I only eat one large meal a day but I never said that was the only meal I had. I have explained my snacking habits.-2 -

Well, basically it's a learned response. We can be taught things quite well by reinforcement. In other words "rewards" or positive outcomes or "punishments" or negative outcomes teach us whether to maintain a particular behavior. You've established a positive outcome (yummy calories incoming) with satisfying a craving. Take away the reward - or substitute a different one - and after a while you might find yourself craving something different when your mind tries to get you to consume some nutrients.
So consuming all the soup and oranges while I was sick (which did relieve my flu symptoms) caused me to develop a reward response to it and develop an addiction?
No, you are not addicted to soup and oranges.
Man, I hope not.CorinnaShaw wrote: »CorinnaShaw wrote: »CorinnaShaw wrote: »A few weeks ago, I caught the flu. During that time I developed a weird craving for oranges and soup. It seemed understandable at the time; oranges for vitamin C and soup well... because soup. Only now we are over a month away from that time and I am still craving them like crazy. I don't mind craving the oranges because it's a fruit and it's healthy. However, the chicken bouillon I have been drinking is loaded with sodium. Like one the third of the recommended amount in a single serving. I am just waiting for the heart attack at this point because I am drinking several cups of it a day. Why am I craving bouillon and oranges like this? Has anyone else had a weird experience like this? Should I completely cut it out of my diet, ignore it and drink it when I want, or are there healthier substitutes?
What???
Because everyone says too much sodium is super bad and will appera thy kill you. I didn't mean that literally. I'm just saying I am getting an awful lot of sodium from this bouillon.
1/3 of a days does isn't some extraordinary number. Sodium is needed by the body. And it's even less of an issue when you aren't eating any other food throughout the rest of the day.
No. One serving has 1/3 of the recommended serving of sodium. I am having 2 servings right now and for all I know, I may decide I want more later. That doesn't even include sodium I will get from other sources. I will probably grill up a few chicken breasts too later and cover that in salt and pepper. Or maybe eat some stewed tomatoes (which have sodium added to them if you read the label on te can). Basically on any given day, I can be getting more sodium than I am supposed to in an entire day just from soup. I do drink a lot of water so I don't know if that will flush some of it out. Basically, what I am asking is why does stuff like this happen and is it healthy or dangerous.
I thought you did 24 hour fasts?
What's also a little strange is for the last 2 days your other thread has grown and through all the food and what not talk you've never mentioned soup. Even when you were listed what you had been eating throughout the days.

So you are eating throughout the day, they are just low calorie intakes.

Eat Stop Eat (possibly the most well known IF protocol) has 24 hour fasting windows. Warrior Diet - also widely known - is close with 4 hour eating windows.
And Fat Loss Forever has a 36 hour fasting window.

Because I didn't eat soup those days. Again, I am dating a guy who has taken me out to eat the last three days in a row and we have spent all day together everyday. My eating habits have been a little off the last 3 days.0 -

Why don't you make a soup will veggies and meat and have it for dinner instead of just drinking the broth? And be careful with the oranges sugar if you're eating that many and are diabetic0

Okay I got it now. Is it bad? No. Unless your Catholic and your priest isn't an orange fan. I think the soup(at least the sodium) may be something you want if you are moving(exercising more). As for a second thought. . . .nah. Enjoy it and move on.

Snacking or small meal during the fasting portion of an IF schedule means you aren't fasting... it just means you eat a big meal, then hours later you eat a small bit of food, etc.
Also broth isn't calorie free so..... if you drink that while "fasting" you aren't actually fasting.0 -

Not so much through out the day. I typically only have 1-2 snacks and I rarely need insulin for them because (unless it's fruit) they are low carb. Sometimes I break it up and have a snack before my meal and one after my meal. Unless my snacks invokes meat, they are almost never over 100 calories.0 -

So during your fasting period, you eat food?
Again, not fasting?
And again, fasting + diabetes = not good?

Good grief. Fasting does not require complete abstinence from food.
Any given protocol may or may not call for complete abstinence, but the term fasting itself means anything from no food to large reduction in food to exclusion of specific foods.
Seems pretty clear the OP is using the term "fasting" in the context of what makes sense for her pre-existing medical condition.
