downsouth 8,385 Posted Tuesday at 08:13 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:13 Has anyone tried it?I flew home from holiday late Thursday night and had some old c**t in front of me and another one in the row behind coughing their guts up for the whole 4hr flight.Sunday bang it Saturday into Sunday I felt a bit shit then Sunday night Bang it hits me like a ton of bricks.Ive been wanting to try a 72hr fast for a while after reading lots about the benefits of it.So I thought as Im going to be having an extra couple of days off nows as good a time as any.Last meal was my roast at 5pm on Sunday and so far I feel ok,No real hunger pains,Didn't sleep at all last night and was super alert but that could be down to the fact I've been laying around doing nothing.Im looking forward to seeing if I actually notice any benefits from it or if it helps with any of my ailments. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At 75 ,I weigh 6 pounds more than I did at 21. On two days a week I eat small snacks only. And on the other days I eat medium size portions. Your body doesn't need much as much you age. I exercise most days... I walk, I lift small weights until I'm knackered, I swim and I love my bike. All the small habits add up. How many fat old men do you see? Not many And how many skinny? Plenty. I like hair shirt stuff and discipline. I love dramatic hard weather too. Storms, white outs and floods.
