Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability

[FluffyChix 17,415]

What are your thoughts on taking our supplements during an extended fast of 48hours?

I am currently taking the following, but wonder, if I should only be taking my mult-vitamin?

What I take daily:

2 Centrum Silvers

6 Petite Calcium Citrates (1500mg)

3 Mag Citrate Gell Caps (600mg)

1 Iron chewable Vit (18mg)

1 Thiamine (100mg)

1 Vit D3 (2000mg)

What I take every other day:

1 B12 sublingual (1000mg)

1 Potassium Pill (10meq for low potassium)

************************************

What are y'all taking and what do you think we should do when fasting?

[redhead_che 824]

I think I’ll take everything as usual except omeprozole which is as needed anyway. I take a Vitamin, Calcium, and two prescriptions.

Yay! Congrats! And piccys! hehehe I know you won't but we can always dream.

Hey so when you DO extended fasts post WLS, I know you don't take Vitamins but what would you be inclined to do if you did?

@GreenTealael All I crave are nuts, seeds and dark @chocolate. Not even fruit anymore. I will have fruit occasionally because I work it into recipes but I realized I bought watermelon and gave it away because I had Brazil nuts I wanted instead. Save me.

Brazil nuts are one of the best sources for selenium, a micronutrient you need. How can you go wrong with that?

I would probably take everything. My regular Multi Vitamins are gummies so I would sub them out for my occasional tablet style ones. I also have Rx that I need to take daily, so I would not skip those either. This is where the fasts gets tricky for me, they need to be taken with food, so technically I break fast by using PP in coffee or tea as food. It's what I've been doing since the very start.

This is exactly what I needed to hear. Lol. The only problem is my cals and fat macros are notoriously high because of nuts. I must strive for balance somehow.

Quit bein' a wienie and drink some Water and decaff! hahaha Ok, seriously girl, the only way I make it is to drink decaff black coffee and also decaff tea all day in addition to my water. I don't know why this helps me but it really quenches my hunger when it hits?

Also, know that when hunger hits, it will go away in about 20 minutes or less and each time you get through breakthrough hunger it makes you stronger and the hunger more wimpy. Does that help at all?

And at the worse, have a cup of regular bouillon. Sometimes salt (Pink Himalayan) sea salt and the salt in bouillon will help cravings and hunger go away.

(Also, no way could I do this if I wasn't already keto/low carb...if I was a sugar burner, this would be torture.

I've got coffee in my hand right now and I'm begging it to work!

Alternate with Water to see if coffee then feels more luxurious.
