Slowing Down to Fast

One of my goalsl this month has been to do a 24 hour fast. I accomplished that about two weeks ago; but I've been talking to a friend of mine who is part of our 252 Circle this year and he has done some remarkable multi-day fasts recently and seen great results. While weight-loss is an immediate benefit, multi-day fasts help us realize how much influence food has one our choices and gives us an opportunity to exert more self-control to ensure we are controlling our food choices rather than being controlled by our food desires.

So, I started a 72 hour fast last night (Thursday) at 8PM. I plan to fast at least 72 hours and maybe longer depending on how it goes. My starting weight is 165 and we'll see how much I can lost. My goal weight for the end of April is 158 and I'm hopeful I can make significant progress towards that goal over the next few days.

I will consume lots of water, some bone broth, some electrolytes, and minimal juices to maintain hydration and nutrients.
