Double the Trouble
I have now done two 24 hour fasts, alternating with days of normal eating. And I can tell you a few things:
* It's remarkably easy to not eat for 24 hours.
* It's remarkably hard to not overindulge when not on fast days.
* Fasting really does make you feel better.
* Overindulging really does make you feel awful.
* What I said about 48 hour fasts...may not have been accurate.
So, starting at midnight, a further modification of my experiment:
* Zero calorie intake for 24 hours
* Then if I feel up to it, another 12 hours
* Then if I feel up to it, another 12 hours.
* After the 24/36/48 hours, a gentle reintroduction of calories.
* There's a big bar of chocolate waiting at the end...if I feel like it.

I am very interested in your findings! Just don't overdo it. I'm sure you'll find the right balance! Eat if you have a busy day with lots of stuff to do! And that includes shopping for groceries! Don't ever buy groceries on an empty stomach--leads to overspending and overeating.
