[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1249217, member: 85785"] Ok, as far as I am concerned, fasting no matter the length of time, is a period without food. I do drink tea, black, no sugar and water. I have done a fasting test that lasted 80 hours in hospital. I have done a few two days fasting. Plenty of fasting days. I am now currently doing different intermittent fasting days to see which ones are really good for me. These I will post in our forum, so far some interesting results. I am weird, but I believe my body can do without food for longer periods to no ill effects, no side effects, my blood glucose levels go nowhere. I'm permanently in ketosis. It seems I only need food in small quantities, just for nutrients and not for fuelling my body, my energy levels are better, I'm not tired! I can work consistently for twelve hours. I sleep brilliantly. I believe I can live comfortable with about 1000 calories a day. I have learned to live without many food groups, and as long as my protein, fats, eggs, salad vegetables in small meals help me exist. Of course this way of fasting is sustainable for those with busy lives. I am in experimental mode. Maybe one day, if I can, I could do a seven day fast. And see what happens. [/QUOTE]
