RE: 48 hours into My First Fasting
Check out this guy's articles on fasting. Lots of great info. One takeaway is that you can eat fat (only) like avocados or butter and still get a lot of the same benefits while getting a bit of a pick me up. Sugar however pretty much restarts the process. https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2018/12/30/complete-guide-fasting.aspx

This is the obvious way I feel to go about it!
A while back somewhere, a guy said about fasting 24hours , then 24hours of eat what you want,even junk food.
Interesting that sugar resets the fast , but makes complete sense - sugar is just a poison!
Hi what do you mean by sugars resetting a fast?
He said that it "pretty much" restarts the fast, which does kind of make sense?
Do you have a link to this? I don't even understand what restart means in this context. Starts the fasted state? How could eating start a fasted state?
That link in the parent comment has a lot of good info. I think it depends on your purpose of fasting. If your looking for the health benefits Dr mercola basically says that your body enters a fat burning mode instead of burning sugar for energy and that this is a necessary thing that most westerners rarely ever experience nowadays since it happens after all the free glucose in our blood and digestive tract is gone which takes about 16 hours after eating. There are apparently a lot of hormonal changes that take place as well as a resetting of our insulin response that happen in this fat burning mode.
If your going for the spiritual benefits then I'm not sure what the rules are ;). But I've definitely experienced some beautiful clarity on an empty stomach.

Empty stomach is the only time I can do anything*. As soon as I eat, I crash. I have to rest and nap.
I ate yesterday, humus and raw veggys and some fries and some butter with avo's and I will do another 48hours that started 15 hours ago 😁

I dont have any proof of this but im guessing as I know much about sugar, I can only imagine that if one would eat refined sugars whilst in fasting, that it would immediatly stop the fasting procedure and thus resetting it..

Ah I see what you're saying now.
this is sounding cool! Avocardos had already crossed my mind but I dint know that fats are ok to eat whilst fasting, what about animal fats?
I think animal fats are fine, he mentions raw butter alot. I don't really eat meat so I'm not sure about all that.
