As part of getting my whole lifestyle cleaned up for longevity purposes I want to get more rigorous about adding multi-day fasts into my annual routine. I've experiment and written about it a bunch in the past. I'll be doing a five day fast the day after 4th of July. To kick that off I figured I'd consolide all of my very amateur thoughts on fasting and how I have done it. I expect I'm going to be writing up the details of my fast, recipe for my transition days, and perhaps even live blogging the experience here for the first time. Here is my probably overly long post on the topic. #longevity #fasting #health
My Amateur Thoughts on Fasting and How I Do It
My Amateur Thoughts on Fasting and How I Do It

As I’m getting ready to start my third multi-day fast of my life I thought I’d do a much better job of documenting it on my blog. To start off I wanted to lay out my very amateur thoughts on fasting and how I have done it in the past. This is a very long post so use the table of contents to jump around to the parts you may find worth reading if you don’t want to read the whole thing.

@hankg Hey Hank: I do 8 days of fasting (almost) every year. I do drink tea in the morning though and drink buttermilk or tea for lunch and dinner. On the 9the day I can hardly eat anything and @ohmrun said, I have too much trouble digesting. It takes me few days of gradual increase to get back to routine. On an average, I have lost between 6 to 10 pounds.

@ohmrun @iSandipD Thanks for sharing your experience as well! I think if I ever wanted to do something longer than a four day fast, especially longer than a week, I would want to do it under medical supervision at a place like The TrueNorth Clinic. I have thought about such a fast too just to experience it. The cancer risk reduction gains I'm shooting for with multi-day fasts seem to be achievable with a pretty approachable 3 day "water" fast.
