I'm just curious what other people have done to keep with the fast, as it were.
...Although this is probably not the best place to ask.

Slow down your consumption of food leading up to and slowly reintroduce food after finishing said fast.
S'about all I learned from mine, really. First 24-30 hours are the worst.
Sleep more. The less a person sleeps, the hungrier he or she will get. Human bodies deal with exhaustion by either eating or sleeping, so you'll have to pick one.
Avoid strenuous physical activity while fasting. Light activity is fine, and walking is probably a good thing, but if you push yourself too hard, you may need to eat just to stabilize yourself. (This may eliminate certain options for my first piece of advice.)
Take a multivitamin. If you don't absorb pills well, try a chewable. Running out of a vitamin or mineral your body needs will cause cravings.
Avoid extreme climates. When fasting, you will get cold more easily, and your body will be more vulnerable to shock from either cold or heat.

Oh. Fasting. Never mind.

But if you MUST fast, try crunching on some ice cubes to help relieve the hunger.

Bloodsage spewed forth this undeniable truth:
Fasting is rather unhealthy, if that's why you're doing it. Eating fewer calories is important to lose weight, but not eating at all is counter-productive in that it causes the metabolism to slow. . .and when you start eating again your body will try to store as much as it can as fat.
^^ seriously, x100
If you're trying to lose weight, just cut your daily calories to about 500 below your estimated BMR.
And start exercising, fatty.
And I do exercise, rather frequently.
e: in fact i just got back from an hour and forty-five minutes of biking around town
e2: You have a BMR of 1617.1.
e3: My BMI is like 19 so apparently I'm a healthy weight. Hooray! Gadani fucked around with this message on 06-11-2008 at 01:03 AM.
