Do you find being low carb helps you fast?0

Do you find being low carb helps you fast?
It's the only way I've ever fasted but I think for me it would be the same if I was LC or not...I think I would get hungry either way but I just try to keep myself busy and today I've been watching the food network which is a bad thing to do on a fasting day 1 -

You are doing so good!1 -
This week I started adding in more carbs, I'm probably getting close to 50 carbs a day...I will see how it affects me when I weigh on Saturday and if it makes me stall I will cut back and if I dont stall I will add more carbs each week

@kabrigail thanks, so are you 1

Wow--44 pounds in 23 weeks! That's awesome.
Do you do water fasts often? Did you experience any ill effects/symptoms the first time around? I'm very curious about the longer fasts...0 -
@Mom2annie I do water fasts every Friday and I get no ill effects at all, just hunger but I chew gum and it helps a lot 1
-
Does the hunger kick in a couple hours before your usual eating window? Do you strictly drink water or allow yourself tea with it too? What about sleep...does the hunger make it hard to fall asleep? What benefits have you personally experienced? I feel like a reporter asking questions. Lol1
-
The hunger kicks in about 4 hours before my eating window and the gum really helps...I only drink water, I don't like coffee or tea but I know others that drink both...It doesn't bother my sleep at all...The benefit is a nice drop on the scale before weigh in day 1

Awesome! Thanks for the info. 1 -
@brendagaudette How long have you been doing the longer fasts? It's something I definitely want to try.0
-
@brendagaudette , when you say water fasts on Friday, you mean you eat nothing at all? I'm considering water (and coffee, yes coffee) fasts on Fridays this Lent, and I'm curious how it goes.0
-
Whoops I just read your answer to that question in another thread -- no eating from Thursday evening until Saturday noon, most impressive!! Did you ease into that, or just do it? And how does it feel?0

I started water fasting in the middle of December 1 -

I just did it and I get hungry but chewing gum helps...Drinking coffee will be ok 1 -
I'm down 2 LBs this week, so I guess adding in a few more carbs didn't stall me at all So far I've lost 46 LBs in 24 weeks
