I do intermittent fasting 18h, 5 days a week. It started as an attempt to curb my ulcerative colitis, which worked so I have just continued that.
I do 72 hour fasts every two or three month between. Total about 5 times now. I drink water and coffee and a bit of salt. I break the fast with some nuts and avocado and then some mild soup usually.
The first day I find most difficult, the hunger is most prevalent, then it subsides. I think about food often but not in a bad way. More as inspiration what I should eat when the fast is over. The second and third day my body is a bit weaker so no intense physical activity. But my mind is clear, almost a bit electric in a way. I enjoy that clarity. After the fast I feel fantastic, energetic and rejuvenated.
I do it mainly for the reported health benefits like autography. Probably will continue doing it till I die
Interesting thread and thanks for the suggestions. My daughter is pretty “adult” for being 6 years old. That being said violence, sexism and too dark themes is of course a no go. When we watched spirited away a year ago I was a bit hesitant it being to scary, but she enjoyed it and had some good insights. But I’ll have to do some vetting to find some good gems out there
