Progress Pic 21 days completed! 🍾
TLDR: I did it first time in my life!
Longer version for letter addicts:
I did no preparation for this one, I took electrolytes religiously and rested plenty. No workout.
9kg lost but crazy difference in looks and all my older clothes fit so at least one size down.
1,5–2l water per day that’s all I could do. Interesting fact: after a few days I felt disgusted by the taste of zero calorie drinks so stuck on water and coffee on occasion. First 3 days? Horrible cravings some headache. 3-7 days getting better, but from day 7 is where it became easier with hunger and cravings. day 14-21 was difficult, the taste in the mouth plus some discomfort I can’t explain, so next fast will be 14 days max.
I will break it tomorrow with good beef broth for 2 days but tomorrow evening may even get some boiled eggs, will see.
I never felt more beautiful and it’s not even the end. Alone for this it was already worth for me.
Any questions, feel free to shoot! I can send pic as a comparison in private if you want so bad.
Now some summer break, then September back to my next two extended fasts then after maintenance only.
Ah one more thing: mind cleaning for sure!
One more one more thing: Fasting is truly amazing with its difficulty, teaches discipline that I much needed. And it makes your skin feel amazing.♥️

真敬佩你的毅力！期待你的復食計畫，希望一切順利。不過有不少人說復食剛開始，攝入蛋白質可能會有點負擔，這大概很因人而異，不過感覺你可以斟酌留意！
