If you've got the will power and the time, I definitely recommend fasting for resetting your habits and your HEALTH. It's really helping me out...so far!
Don't sell yourself short! All it takes is trying your best. If you don't succeed, take what you learned, regroup and try again! Failure is not even trying.
LOL! I'm the cook. I have to put my working men's dinner in the oven. I can't expect them to all of a sudden feed themselves after putting in 10-12 hour days at physical jobs while I've laid on the couch. I'm not that kind of person.
They both still smoke...in the house.
It stinks, but they try to be polite and do it in their own rooms.
I gathered that, not going to make it easier. You shouldn't lay on the couch anyway, you should get more exercise than usual or you will lose muscle mass.
My record is ten days. Once. Allowed black tea and coffee, vitamins and minerals.
Cold turkey. I can't imagine edging into it.
First three days are the hardest I find, after four or five your brain clicks into overdrive, that would be ketosis.
You definitely don't want to go anywhere near marijuana because if you do it's all over but the feast.
Not having food that is ready to eat is a must for me. I have no willpower.
I have all these carbs in the house because they are cheap calories should we have a hard time getting real food but in normal times I don't have big carbs in the house, fasting or not.
I'll be happy to make it to day five. I've not had any vitamins or minerals yet. Well, good salt and the citrus...oh! I have put organic cacao powder in my coffee twice.
I guess I have willpower, or at least more than most. I'm not cooking right now, but I have to thaw and heat dinner for my guys and my hub eats right beside me. I grab my flavored water and have "my dinner" with him. There's fresh, roasted peanuts that I did from raw and made peanut butter with a couple of weeks ago and they are driving me crazy. I can smell them from the living room! HAHA.
We're pretty low carb too. Hub's diabetes may be "in remission" but if he pigs out on sourdough or I make a dessert, his sugar will still spike up to around 170ish. He fasts five days a week on a 16-8 schedule and it keeps it under control.
I've fallen in love with barley and lentils these last couple of years, so our rice and potato consumption has been slashed in half and I make every noodle we eat from scratch with organic whole wheat flour. Our diet's been as clean as we can afford for about a year now. We're eating our own pork, chicken, and rabbit that we've raised and butchered and we get our beef from a local dude...and we've got deer. I don't buy anything from a grocery store anymore. Thank goodness! I don't trust it.
I've never seen a raw peanut, I like peanuts, I bet they do smell good.
I only eat once a day. That's controlling my weight. I also confess to going off on carbs. I can bake bread, I'm very good at baking bread, I shouldn't eat bread. It's a viscious circle. The problem with that is that if you eat big carbs you want them more than if you never eat them. But I so like tasty things and many of them involve carbs. I can't totally cut them out, if affects quality of life so I let myself make something yummy with carbs about once a week.
I buy meat from farmers or a local butcher. I 'm jealous, it would be cool to eat my own.
Best Wishes !
You SOUND Right In The Right Place !
Thanks Paul!
It's not an easy path, but I like it here.
A LOT.
Janice, keep reporting your progress. I've been considering a water fast to break my nasty cigarette habit. Inspiring!
Thanks, Dave!

I'll definitely keep you updated on mine.
I don't know that I have either of those...

It's helpful to remove temptation. If there isn't anything to eat it's easier to hold to your resolve.

I smoke, in the garage. It does stink.
It was a figure of speech. ;-)
I only lay down when I get dizzy.

Also, I find that fasting isn't a great way to lose weight. Better to change your diet.
As for going to the bathroom, you will continue to do that. That's a little mysterious, it can only be that you are giving the stable a good cleaning.
