Break The Fast

Wrote about going on a 24-hour fast yesterday. Actually went more than 24 hours because my last meal was Friday night at 8:00 PM and didn't have anything to eat since then. No solid food the whole day of Saturday except for water and fresh lime juice.
Sunday morning came and I initially wanted to break my fast at lunch but I was running errands and I got hungry. Decided to break the fast with these beauties - franks with chili. Not the best food to break the fast but I wanted it so badly. Downed it with a glass of soda (again not a smart choice) and a pitcher of ice cold water. That was 11:00 AM and since then I have not had anything to eat yet. Didn't felt any hunger. I'm not hungry until now so I'm thinking of doing a 24-hour fast and on days that I'll eat I'll do an OMAD (one-meal a day).
This might be the reset that my body needs. Plus, it is a good test mentally.

Yes I did this OMAD..I lost a lot of weight but in the end..I had to stop it
It messed up my metabolism
Now I just do possibly a 24 hour fast every now and then.
Good luck to you Allen
You find what is best for you

Thanks.
I did intermittent fasting before but never a 24-hour fast or OMAD. I feel better honestly. For yesterday and today, my only meal yesterday were the frank sandwiches which I took at 11:00 AM. I didn't have anything after that. Just lots of lemon water and plain water. I had a sandwich at 8:00 AM and another sandwich at 11:00 AM. That was it for me. 9:10 PM now here in Manila and I'm getting ready to sleep. No hunger pangs since this morning.

What are you praying for while fasting?

It isn't so much that I feel hunger if I fast, but my blood sugar gets low so I don't feel well, sluggish and no energy.

That is why it is important to get medical advice first before fasting. I actually feel the opposite, I'm more energized.

My not so smart choice was sleeping late again for almost two days. I think it's because of this heat.

I've been trying to sleep early but the earliest I've done is 11:00 PM. Not good.
