I have 3 goals for the month of March:
- Lose weight through fasting
- Meditate for at least 5 minutes each day
- Log the experience (including video logs! scary!)
It's been over 24 hours of fasting, and I have already lost 5 pounds!
I'm using Fastient to track my fast.
I drink Berkey water, I have the Travel Berkey. I don't actually travel with it, it sits on my counter above my sink. I love the taste of Berkey water, and I use it to cook with, for my espresso machine, and for my drinking water and my pets' drinking water.
I also drink hot tea, La Croix, and Dr. Jason Fung's Pique Fasting Tea (I drink the Ginger Green Fasting Tea and the Matcha Green Fasting tea, I haven't ordered the Cinnamon Herbal Fasting Tea, but when I run out, I want to try it).
For electrolytes, I will either add the Lemonade Ultima Hydrating Electrolyte Powder to my water, or I will drink Snake Juice.
My plan is to fast as long as I feel okay, for at least 72 hours, but no longer than 7 days. I will initially break each fast with Athletic Greens (I just ordered Athletic Greens for the first time this weekend and should arrive sometime this week), and then a half hour later will eat a healthy meal.
After a healthy meal (whole food plant-based, no refined sugar, limited starches), I will roll into the next fast.
During the month of March, there are a few days where I have family visiting and there are also a couple of social obligations I must attend, all of which involve food. For those days, I will ensure that I adhere to a small eating window of 4 to 6 hours per day. After that's done, I will get back on track with fasting.
My goal is to lose as much weight as I can during the month of March while still feeling good.
I will meditate first thing in the morning for 5 minutes each day. If I forget, I will meditate right after work or before going to bed at night.
It's my hope that documenting my experience will help hold me accountable.
Stay tuned!
