RE: Fasting Journal : Almost gave up too soon.
Awesome! It can be really weird, some times day 2 and 3 are the hardest for me. Day 1 is mostly a breeze "unless I'm coming off of a carb loaded cheat day!" Day 4 I hit my stride again, and hunger is almost non-existent.
If you're struggling to get in vitamin B, then I would suggest some organ meats or liver extract supplements. If you're eating mostly keto, and you are adhering to an intermittent fasting schedule when you come off of your prolonged fast. Then yeah I would try to shovel in as much good foods as possible on your feast day, and normalize on the days after.
Maybe another thing you could do is when fasting, do a bit of fast mimicking instead. You could drink some grass fed bone broths with himalayan salt on your fasting days, and that way you are still getting some of those B vitamins, amino acids, and minerals.
Right. If you read back you will see I cover that. Thanks for the input though.
I wanted to make sure I didn't miscommunicate. I really do welcome your comments.
I've been doing paleo for almost 20 years and fasting longer than that, but it's easy for me to forget that other folks might not automatically know what I think is common sense. People adding in ideas and deeper explanations will help anyone watching this thread (not that many do). So again, thank you for your reply!
