This is my biggest problem. I went through yesterday working on moving things in my container. Being in the middle of a massive move helps.
I'm gonna fix my motorcycle today and possibly more electronics repair tomorrow. By noon today I should be over the 48hr misery period (which hasn't been bad at all this time). But yes boredom, in fact you cant believe you spent that much time thinking and doing food.
Thanks.

This is a reply to # 2,367,526I find it easier to pump weights other work out's when fasting both to release some more energy and warm me up as well as to keep my mind off food, and I started working out yesterday with some dumbells. Double the benefit if you ask me.
Thanks.

This is a reply to # 2,367,540whaaaaat. working out is out of a question. I am doing an extended fast, hoping to get to 30 days or so. I know from my previous experiences weakness would come in to play after a few days into fast. :P

This is a reply to # 2,367,554Its a light workout. Just dumbells and I do like 20-30 reps with light weights. Hammer curls, front curls, side arm lifts etc etc, all with light enough weights to do 20-30 reps.
I find that it taps my glycogen store or something like that and gets me over the cold and hungry spell.
Thanks.

This is a reply to # 2,367,554No heavy exercises. You can read, write, do arts and crafts, do gardening, listen to music. You will not believe this, but I watch food shows when I fast.
I also made excel charts for recording my fasting history and also for other personal finances.

This is a reply to # 2,367,630Is 30 reps of a few dumbbell excercises heavy ? Most people call that semi aerobic.
I can barely manage 10 pushups on a 1' step for my arms, I am seriously weak. I hammer curl 30 lb, front curl 20 lb, and a few others with 15 and side lift 10lb and I can barely manage 10 reps in that, all the rest are 20-30 reps.
Most of that is done while walking.
Thanks.

As per Dr. Shelton, one should refrain from any exercise for to afford the body to use all the energy to heal itself.
There are very simple rules one need to follow to fast. Rest, stay warm and drink water as per thirst.
I suggest to walk only for those who are very obese.

This is a reply to # 2,367,643Oh man, I was finally making some serious progress towards the lower 1/2 of my 6 pack. The upper 1/2 has been poking its head out for 6+ months now, I really need the lower 1/2 to join it.
I have a totally sedentary job, lifting 30lb is like a cave man gathering a few pieces of wood for warming his cave.
Thanks.

This is a reply to # 2,367,676I did some light walking yesterday and it helped. Today is my 3 day and I feel so weak and tired. I've been laying in bed almost all the time since I had awaken. Hopefully its going to be like this only for first couple of days. Man, fasting is hard, really hard.

This is a reply to # 2,367,693Day 4 for me. Previous meal Sat 12-2, I had water/salt/acv/baking soda/green/black tea 48hrs in but that was 15hrs ago. So 48 hr dry, then ~20hrs of water/tea then 15 back to dry. I am hoping to go back to dry for 3+ days if I can.
Anyway I feel good and pretty energetic and like I want to take on the world.
A mild dragging kind of headache back of my skull.
I have a blood draw for labs coming up in the next hour. No fear. I have a dental cleaning apt @11 am. Worried I may end up drinking some water, but I'd not worry that too much, I'll just restart the dry section I guess.
I am doing semi hard dry fasting. Brushing my teeth and water is used to rinse my mouth. I wash my hands when dirty, but I am not showering. I know my skin will take up a lot of warm water if I shower sort of defeating the purpose of dry fasting.
Now my mouth is dry after spitting after brushing teeth, but I know it will salivate pretty soon.
Thanks.
Srinath.

Blood draw and dentist cleaning done. Don't think I got too light headed after blood and didn't drink any water @ dentist. Awesome. The cleaning paste was sickly sweet, but I cant kick the dentist apt to outside my fast window cos I have no clue how long the fast is.
Anyway I am nicely salivating again, so its 20hr since my last liquid intake, hoping for 3-4 more days. Tounge is coated white but nothing is too bad smelling and in fact its looking like a normal day. Nothing different.
Somehow I feel my doing push up's and leg lifts are keeping my blood flowing and keeping me warm. I feel. Either way its 30-50 pushup's total a day on a 1' rise for my hands. So its a 45 degree to 15 degree not a 30 to 0.
Thanks.
Srinath.

This is a reply to # 2,367,881I caved. But I ate a meal of mostly raw food. Greens I pulled out of my yard, and buttermilk and lemon dressing on that salad, dried goji berries a few more fruits and my nemesis - peanuts and brazil nuts, and cheese cake with Sugar and a bit of angel food cake.
I am trying to stay with what is good for me and what will put good bacteria in my gut. Anyway I plan to do this a few more meals and then go to protein and fat heavy and back to dry fasting, AND now I know 3 days is possible and likely 4 or more dry. Sadly the day I had tea/water ruined me.
Oh yea I was smelling like the dickens. I wasn't getting any fun if I continued that, so I showered too. So the wife would now want to kiss me. Woooooot woooooot.
Oh yea I had some vino too. But I am soon making mine. pure ferment of grape juice and no added Sugar with no left over carb.
Thanks.
Srinath.

This is a reply to # 2,367,630Thanks for your replies, you seem to know a lot about fasting. I've been laying in my bed or sitting basically most of the day. Is that okay to spend fasting in these positions? What I mean is I've read somewhere that sedentary lifestyle isn't healthy and is detrimental to your overall health even if you do some exercise throughout a day, it wouldn't recompenssate the wholde day sittingg on your butt. What I've also heard about fasting is that you got to give your body a ch Acne to heal and save the energy. The best way to do this is by doing nothing basically. Am i right? Please, put some light on my thoughts here.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 2,367,694Yes, you read it right, for both thoughts. First one right when you are eating and going about your regular life, then sedentary lifestyle is bad for you.
Second one is right also, when you fast you need to conserve your energy so body can heal itself better. And if you keep your body warm even better.
Keep up the good work.

This is a reply to # 2,367,630Hahah re: spreadsheeting. Sounds like me. Anything I can calculate, plan, plot, graph.
Other ideas are
-suduko
-researching diet/health/food medicines
-gardening
-looking after pets (in my case farm animals)
-sewing/crochet/knitting
-making lists/schedules/plans/routines
Lol sounds I bit weird type A personality lol
I find the best thing really is FORGIVENESS, and looking deep into ones self and not just ridding from physical bodily ailments, but spiritual heart ailments and purifying the soul and ones character

This is a reply to # 2,368,041Hey PH,
You just made up a new word, spreadsheeting. So if you complete a spreadsheet, you can say I spreadsheeted this blah blah. And if an East European pronounces it, it would sound like spreadshiting.
I love it when nouns become verbs. FedEx is a good example of that.
On a serious note, yes, rid your mind from all negative thoughts it may be hoarding. EFT and meditation are very helpful during a fast.
