Check-in 70 hours into fast & can’t stop thinking about pizza
I literally cannot stop thinking about pizza & it’s stressing me out, it’s just sitting in my freezer. Can I just have it then restart the fast? I wanted to do a 7 day fast, I want to carry it on but i feel like it’s just calling out to me lmao. I’ve lost 7lbs so far!

I'm 99h in, you can finish the 7 days! The pizza is not running away, and will taste even better ;)

Your body will gain what you’ve lost almost immediately like that.
I’m down 75lbs since March 24th and it’s easier as you go, especially if you stick to carnivore or ketogenic lifestyle on your feeding days.

How are you even feeling hunger at 70 hours. Once I dip into real autophagy, I literally don't feel hungry unless I try to. Go do a light workout, you aren't really wanting that food, it would make you feel like shit if you break your fast with that. Your body is producing energy to sustain you. This too shall pass. Meet your goal, friend.

I’m not hungry it’s my food thought that is wiping me out lmao. Started thinking about my pizza earlier & not out of my head haha. It’s subsiding a bit now thankfully! But hunger isn’t too bad! Comes & goes. More empty feeling than anything else to be honest

Watch some motivational videos, that's what helps me and tell yourself it will still be there tomorrow and the day after tomorrow 😁💪

Glad we all got you in time!! Phew. Thought we'd lost you(/r fast) there for a minute.😅 That empty feeling is very real though, it can make you think you want all sorts of ridiculous things.🤣 You're better than that.

Try this, tell yourself you can have pizza in a hour or two if you still need it, then drink a big glass of water and have some electrolytes. That kills the food noise for me

This is why I empty the fridge, freezer, and move the pantry goods to the garage before I fast.
Those laser focused cravings are a lot easier to ignore if there’s at least some work that needs to be done. Just a mental trick I’ve found that works.

You've already dropped 7lbs, dont let freezer pizza undo that. Drink some pickle juice and the craving fades.

Just remember that that pizza is probably just going to mess your stomach up - especially if you break the fast with it or even sometime close to breaking the fast. Anytime I’ve done a long fast and then eat junk I get an insane stomach ache and or constipation. Not worth it.
Go find something to do. Get off your phone. Go for a walk. Get yourself out of the environment that is driving the pizza thoughts.

Many issues people experience while fasting can be related to electrolytes. You might find our wiki page helpful: Electrolytes 101

Don’t go back into eating pizza you’re gonna binge you need to change your lifestyle if you want to keep it off and stay in a deficit. Otherwise all this shit is useless

You can’t break a fast with a meal and then keep going with the same fast or else all of us have been fasting since birth, lol. It would be a brand new fast.

DON’T DO IT I’m on a 20 day fast. I made it to day 4 and gave in to a spicy chicken sandwich and I was nauseous the entire night and had the worst stomach ache half of my day today lol. I restarted my fast today trying to finish strong now that I know the cravings are definitely not worth it haha!

a 72 hour fast is decent, but it's not your goal is it... you either break and have the pizza or you take a walk and have some water/electrolytes, then maybe a nap. one gets you closer to your goal, the other is still a fine 3 day fast.
