forest of dean redneck 11,190 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Just pondering how long have you gone without solid food , I had a chinky Wednesday at 9 pm (pork fried rice & curry sauce) woke up Thursday at 6am feeling rough , was ill all Thursday so just had couple cups of tea , a can of coke and a kids ice pole just eaten 2 biscuits now so technically I’ve not eaten for 40? Hours wife reckons there’s a bug doing the rounds but I’m thinking touch of food poisoning certainly put me off Chinese take away ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I went 4 or 5 days without eating a couple of years back when I got norovirus. Just the thought of eating had me heaving. Must be why I'm so thin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 4,930 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Fasting is all the rage now. Haven’t tried it but can see logic in it in terms of how our bodies would have evolved to cope with feast and famine. Might give it a go later in the year..., once I’ve finished off the last of the Easter eggs 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickC 1,825 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I've done a few water only fasts 1 3 5 14 days. After about 5 days your body is so reactive/alert/responsive and the longer you fast the less you feel the need to eat.Its natures way of putting you on full alert to find the next meal from way back in our Hunter,gatherer days when the next meal was not garuanteed. When breaking the fast is the part you have to get right by eating the correct foods over the coming days after a fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
