Fasting

I remember when I was young, I was fasicinated with people who could fast so I tried. The first week I went one day without eating, the second week I did a two day fast - no food just liquids, the third week I went 3 days no food. I can't remember how far I made it but I believe I got to the week where I did a 5 day fast without food. I slowly worked up to it but it was still very difficult. I think I did the fasting as a purification to my system certainly not for weight loss which I didn't need. So many years later weight loss is more of a concern.

There has been all kinds of hype about the egg fast on Pinterest, youtube and many FB groups. I want to do a 3 day egg fast and today is the fricking 3rd day. Most of the egg fasts were five days but I was afraid I couldn't make it to five. Actually it is probably going to be a tough day today especially the last meal. On this egg fast you can have butter and cheese with the eggs. You are supposed to have them. A Tblsp. of butter to each egg and up to 4 ounces of cheese a day.

There are a million different ways to prepare eggs from egg porridge, hard or soft boiled, fried, scrambled, poached, quiche so on and so on. ALSO CHAFFLES. 1 egg and a little shredded cheese makes a chaffle (tiny waffle) completely disguises the egg taste. At lunch today will be 2 chaffles with a sweetened cream cheese filling. I'm looking forward to that lunch but dinner I'm clueless about. The final dinner may have to be gagged down.

Looking most forward to eating NO eggs tomorrow. As much as I dearly love eggs - I don't want another one for awhile. Things I've noticed so far is that my energy went through the roof. Sleeping has been sound and I stay asleep for longer periods. I can't watch cooking videos while fasting because it does a number on my desire to eat even if I'm not hungry.

I made my first ghee and my second batch of mayo though as I could use them with those damn little eggs. GO ME and my wierd situations I seem to get myself into.

Thanks Mic. I forgot to mention steamed which is actually one of my very favorites. I just ordered my first Marzano fresh tomatos. I can't wait to try them tomorrow. I've had canned but this will be my first find with fresh. So excited. wave

Egg whites are a good source of protein (albumin to be exact).
I could go all day without eating. No problem.
The bad thing is after a meal, I need a serious nap!
Hiya Faye, I would suggest to look into intermittent fasting and it's benefits (Valter Longo has written "The Longevity Diet" book on this topic).

Doing this myself and also regularly did a 5 day fast (eating once a day steamed cruciferous veg). Also the German "Heilfasten" with consuming limited amounts of veg juices or broth sounds interesting. I lost a lot of weight (unintentionally) but it worked well for me as I have food intolerances and changed to eating twice a day (leaving out breakfast with bread etc.) wave
