Between the 1st and 4th of June,2024, I embarked on a 70-hour fasting journey (from 01.06. – 9 p.m. to 04.06.23 – 7 p.m.). This was not just a physical challenge but a testament to my willpower and determination.
Of course, I made it before our trip to Estonia. We started our journey on the 9th of June, 2024. Still, a few days earlier, I made a fasting that lasted longer than three full days. How did I feel? Speaking shortly, I felt great. The older I am, the more I see that eating from morning to evening is unnatural. I’ve already written a text about an unobvious experiment. In it, I wrote that during our stay in Estonia, I ate all day, every day. I ate like most other “normal” people, including breakfast, dinner, and supper. When I did it, I felt only instant gratification. Right after eating or drinking a beer, I felt short euphoria because I ate something tasty.
However, I soon realized that this short-term pleasure paled in comparison to the long-term benefits of fasting.
Still, I felt much worse in the longer term than during the 70-hour fasting. I felt somewhat blocked. Not only was my body slower and blocked by the invisible enemy, but my mind was also working much slower and less efficiently. In fasting, I trust. Human organisms are not used to constantly digesting food like cows. I’ve already written a text that I do not want to be like a cow. I do not want to have a diabetic coma. Earlier, before I started intermittent fasting on Christmas 2020, I did not know I was tired and sleepy all day because I ate food all day.
Now I know it.
Intermittent fasting released my most incredible power and made me believe in myself once again in my life. Earlier, I thought I must exercise all the time to be slim. That’s why I swam regularly between 2011 and 2018. Now I know the key to fighting obesity is, first of all, fasting. Still, if we add regular exercise and expose the body to cold, truly remarkable things can happen in one’s mind and body.
