Hi Y'all. I hope you are having a good holiday season. I'm still fasting, I'm on day 18. I've crossed into Onederland. Whoo Hoo! I'm going to continue through the solstice. I'll have a broth dinner on Tuesday, then light meals on Wednesday, then consciously celebrating for Christmas.
Yesterday, I had a 24 hours with my 2.5 yo granddaughter. I didn't try anything too energetic; we stayed home and did a Christmas art project and read a lot of library books. Plus it was a 2 hour drive each way.
I'm resting up today. I'm still very mentally alert, with vivid dreams, but have to take care not to over exert myself physically. The fast does feel cleansing of body and soul.

Thank you friends. I feel quite healthy, and I'm monitoring vital signs. But it is good to have a reasonable end point.

I have a question about fasting....
During a fast, are you consuming any calories at all? You are on day 18. Have you been without any food for 18 days, or are you greatly reducing intake?

Hi 3d, Yes - no food. You become fat adapted and live off your own body fat. My blood sugar has been in a healthy normal range the whole time, as well as normal to low blood pressure and pulse. Your body makes whatever glucose and fructose that it needs from your own fat. I've lost 21 pounds in 19 days now. Some of that will come back on board of course when I refeed. At 3,500 calories per pound, and I still have 50 lbs to lose, that means that even after this fast, I 've still got about 150,000 calories stored up before I starve! If it's doable for you it really is a very direct way to lose fat.
I take electrolytes - minerals in a powder form to make sure that all systems are functioning. It's a zero calorie powder to mix with water. So, yes, no calories for 21 days, though I am easing out with a little bone broth for the last two days.

Also, I did it with an online group; the support helped.

Oh I see! I am intrigued by this, but also apprehensive....
I take electrolytes also.
