Hi
@Dicky300. I have personally experimented extensively with fasting of many lengths and kinds over the years, as a person with type two, but I hesitated to join in, as I am definitely not a "enjoy the sensation of..." kind of type 2 experimenting-with-fasting gal.
Most importantly, I believe folks experience hunger quite differently - and no food water only fasts will definitely pin point what kind of person you are in terms of dealing with no food. There's no way I can work or socialise or do anything past Day 2. I have tried! But it is not possible. I definitely prefer fasts with cream in coffee, and bone broth, but that means no autophagy - which is a great effect of no food water only fasts.
Watching docos about food and fasting, and type two - that is something I have done whilst fasting, that works well for me. And def watching and reading Dr Jason Fung, who is a master in this field. But - do be aware a lot of this lit and docos are not dealing with those with bunged up blood glucose regulation systems, ie type two! I would say - keep this in mind.
And really paying attention to how not having food informs one on the role of food in ones life. My first fast, which was a three to four day water only no food fast, did that for sure. And I kept (and still do, although it's way pared down now in terms of the info I document) - a food/drink/exercise/feelings/meds-if applicable, in context of T2D - journal. But this depends on what floats your boat? For you it is digital? There must be some great forums and so on out there for fasters by now? Sorry I don't know about them.
I also do great work on my LCHF recipe books whilst fasting! And my computer file of same. Hungry folks often dream about food, whilst awake as well as in sleep
