Next time I will remember to turn off my phone, because I ended up having an especially stressful day. Still, it wasn't too hard and I did feel better the next day.
I think I will try to do it at least once every two months. It's supposed to be great to clean out your system of toxins and maintain health and vigor. It's also supposed to help clear your head.
Anyone try it?

I do a 24 hour fast after a cheat day.
As someone who has fasted at least 18 hours most days for the last 2 years, I can say it's something you have to build up to. Don't try to just jump right in or you will be hungry as fuck and fail.
Spend a week putting off breakfast until 9 or 10 am. Then extend that another hour a week later. And keep building on that.
I go to the gym 18 hours fasted and work out like a werewolf on crack. I'm building muscle and getting ripped. I love it.
and that first bite of food is so much better.
