Today is day four of five of the "Longo Inspired Cancer Avoidance Fast" that I've devised. It is the third and final "real" fast day, IOW nothing more than non-caloric beverages and ideally none with artificial sweeteners. I definitely woke up feeling more brain fog than yesterday and this time I got plenty of sleep. I definitely felt more dehydrated when I woke up too. No headaches or anything like that though. And as I’m sipping my morning cup of coffee I’m feeling less of both. I’m down a bit over another 2.5 pounds. My night time heart rate looked normal as does my heart rate variability. Even though it hasn’t been awful I’m glad today is the last “real” day of fasting too and tomorrow is a transition day.

@randygalbraith Yup! While it isn't especially unpleasant I'm looking forward to it being over. Plus, planning it over a weekend wasn't ideal but it was the only place I could fit it in my schedule.

08:45 -- 45+ minute walk and 15 minutes yoga done. I started the walk feeling a bit groggy still but ended it feeling back to normal, albeit with a rumbling tummy. #health #longevity #fasting #cancer #CancerAvoidanceFast

11:30 -- My food obsession is definitely getting the better of me now. I decided to try to abate that by heading over to Discovery+ and watch cooking shows I’ve never even heard of much less seen before. I’m trying to emphasize cuisines I’m not very familiar with, starting off with an episode of “Girl Meets Farm” about her multicultural twists on classic Jewish New Year recipes. #health #longevity #fasting #cancer #CancerAvoidanceFast

12:10 -- I got a decent head rush standing up too fast after from laying to watch TV for 30 minutes or so. I decided to check my vitals and everything still looks solid with respect to heart rate, heart rate variability, and blood pressure. Blood pressure was down slightly from when I woke up, from 119/76 to 113/73 but well within normal ranges. Still no headaches, no return of brain fog/loopiness but I definitely have a low energy "dragging ass" feeling. Time to "eat" some "lunch" by having some more decaf coffee and Pelligrino. #health #longevity #fasting #cancer #CancerAvoidanceFast

13:30 -- My cooking shows indulgence/torture started with Jewish New Year food but now I've watched shows on several more cuisines: Korean, Gullah, and Cuban. Gotta be honest it all looked delicious. Maybe this isn't helping as much as I thought it would, but I already finished the Alzheimer's book...what to read/watch instead...hmm... #health #longevity #fasting #cancer #CancerAvoidanceFast

16:00 -- My god am I really dragging ass now. I took a 30 minute nap a little while ago but that didn't help. I still am feeling loopy when I stand up too fast from laying down for longer periods of time even though blood pressure, heart rate, HRV, etc. still within normal levels. Food cravings are even more intense as the day wears on even though I switched off from watching cooking videos. I'm more annoyed than anything else. 09:00 tomorrow couldn't get here fast enough. #health #longevity #fasting #cancer #CancerAvoidanceFast

Thanks! Yeah I have about 15 hours left and most of that is sleeping so I'll be fine. I detailed my plans in this post, along with some previous thoughts on fasting in general. During these core "water" days I allow myself any non-caloric beverage but I'm trying to limit it to black unsweetened coffee (decaf and regular), tea, setzer, Perrier/Pelligrino mineral water, or regular water. I am allowing myself the option of drinking diet sodas since I'm a diet soda junkie but my stretch goal was to not have any of that. I think I'll succeed. I have some calorie free electrolyte powder packs in case I thought I needed that as well. I haven't so far. https://nequalsonelifestyle.com/2023/07/02/my-longo-inspired-cancer-avoidance-fast/

18:00 -- After taking in some videos of a dietetian reviewing various celebrity fad diets, a couple more episodes of cooking shows highlighting South Indian, Honduran, and Mexican cuisine I've decided to have dinner. Again it's going to be decaf coffee and Pelligrino. I just saw Titanic has been added to Netflix again and I've been consuming a bunch of Titanic videos after the whole OceansGate debacle so I figure why not kill a good 3+ hours watching that too... #health #longevity #fasting #cancer #CancerAvoidanceFast

That picture got my mouth watering. Have to let us know how the experiment turned out. It sounds like it will be delicious. :).

22:45 -- Last core day of the fast is done. I'm very much looking forward to executing the transition day tomorrow when I can start eating again at 09:00. Granted that's going to be a cup of broth but "real" food will begin soon enough after that. #health #longevity #fasting #cancer #CancerAvoidanceFast
