I think this might actually play in my hand
probably holding until Thursday for the next fasting day, tomorrow I might have to have lunch with company Anybody got to try it yet?
Been meaning to ask.......multi-vitamins early in the morning....does that break the fast?
Is it fasting if you only eat once a day? When it gets hot and humid, I will go a couple of days not eating. I don't even feel hungry when it is hot.
For what it's worth: the recent studies I've seen suggest that extra vitamin C doesn't help the immune system. Excessive vitamin C is now thought to be harmful.
day 4 - as i've suspected this place is not deserted. it isn't even desserted. the natives seem docile for now
.....the Cayenne is a good source of Vitamin C as well.
I suspect you're fine with the pepper capsules. They aren't going to increase insulin levels in any significant way.
The question is whether or not something you consume sends you brain the signal that it must now start processing.......that's what we're looking to avoid.
day 5 - for the first time I've thought about roasting one of the natives
It's been about 24 hours now without eating any food. Drank lots of water all day and a cup of coffee this morning.I did feel hungry in the afternoon and now, but a little hunger is not a problem. I also feel a little weak, but I'm still going out to a concert later this evening. I'll breakfast in the morning. Hope your Thursday fast went well, El P. Gerhard, what is your strategy at this point?
When I had to fast for my colonoscopy I was allowed to eat jello and that helped a lot with the hunger pangs.
Thanks El Peacent, you are a litteral fount of knowledge! I would like to think the capsule are pure Cayenne pepper, but I did find out recently that the brand of spice 99% of us use has a gluten containing bulking agent..... So who knows.Won't BS, came out of the workshop 7PM and even fed the dog (long) before I ate. And the packet of dried pears......well that was closer to 10PM than 9PM
It's 06:15, and I've now been food-free for 36 hours. My hunger has subsided, and I feel pretty good. Although I did have some weird dreams last night. Breaking the fast with some coffee and cream, now. Will make some eggs later when Mrs Nix gets up.
Got hot sauce?(Image removed from quote.)
Eggs, the single most nutritious animal based food in the world
Styx, if you are whole-roasting co-workers, you're going to need a good bit of hot sauce. You might reconsider your plans.And, please, no entries in the Great Chili thread until after your fast is over. Thank you.

On hollydays right now, until August. Usually I sleep in on Saturdays, so I end up spending some 12h+ without eating. Last weekend I tried going 14h without food, just water. No problem.Yesterday, I did the same. Woke up at 10h but only ate at 16h. No problem. Last night I had dinner until 22h. Large meal with some friends. No more food until now (12:30). Not really hungry, going for 16h again. That'll be 18h without eating.
