Hi new friends! I'm so excited that you've joined me!
Here we go! This is a 10 day fasting challenge. You may choose the type of fast you want. 16/18/20/24/36/40...
I personally follow Dr. Jason Fung's fasting suggestions. A little cream in coffee is acceptable. Bone broth is also ok for longer fasts. I drink tea and lots and lots of water! You follow your rules. It's is your body! You've got this!

"Hunger is a state of mind, not a state of stomach."
Jason Fung, The Complete Guide to Fasting

    So dinner last night had a lot of salt but I stayed below 230! Yesterday was easier to stay within my eating hours than the day before. I guess baking bread at 8pm is really does make me hungry 😁

    @Mjbcoffee oh I miss read you update. I thought you fasted for 24 hrs. I was thinking that was really hard to do that two days in a row and then make dinner in the middle of it 🤣

    It seems harder to me to do the 23:1 schedule than fasting for 36 or 42 hrs. I guess the hunger passes after the 24 hr mark. I've struggled every day this week, whereas last week I did 36 and 42 easily. So strange.
