I’ve gone in and out with IF (intermittent fasting) over the last 4-5 years with the longest being around 30 hours but I was reading about the benefits of longer fasts (namely autophagy)<\/a> and really wanted to try it. I settled on 60 hours because that means two whole days plus part of another day so I could stop after lunch on a Friday then power through the weekend and be ready to go early Monday morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first day was a breeze – I had a normal sized lunch and was able to just go home and skip dinner and get ready for the weekend. Saturday wasn’t too bad the hunger pangs showed up but I managed to stay the course. I did notice I was fatigued and had a low motivation but it was a football weekend so I could just relax on the couch with the family watching football. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only drawback to that was every other commercial was for food. I’m sitting there with hunger pangs and its a nonstop cavalcade of pizzas, burgers, pasta and beer. It got so bad I had to just stop paying attention during the commercials as I wasn’t sure I could take anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also the time my wife noticed some over ripe bananas and asked me to make banana bread – one of my favorite things to eat. She winced as soon as she said it but the kids heard and started the banana bread chant so I ended up making a delicious banana laden loaf of banana bread – oh the aroma! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday was more of the same – did some things around the house but the energy was at a really low point – I drank some tea and other caffeinated beverages but they didn’t seem to move the needle much I think my body was just using its energy for fast related things. I was so tired I ended up napping at my desk then shuffling upstairs to sleep it off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday was better – I had a clearer head and work was distracting for me so I could just put my head down and get a lot of work done.. but when it was time to break the fast I was ready <\/strong> – I knew you had to break a long fast with something light so I had a bottle of Huel and a slab of that aforementioned banana bread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took a selfie right before I broke my fast:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
