Day 1: The Beginning of My 6-Day Fast

You know that floating week between Christmas and New Year? Well I decided to take that week and do an extended fast. A clean fast, meaning 0 food, only water, Topo Chico, plain coffee and Celtic sea salt. I had intended on going a full 7 days but managed to get through 6 days, still a pretty big accomplishment, my longest clean fast before was 4 days. I kept a daily dairy with the help of ChattyG (my ChatGPT persona). Here is what happened on day one.

Day 1: The Beginning of My 6-Day Fast

I started my fast today, feeling really good so far. Honestly, I’m not usually hungry until later in the day, so the morning wasn’t too hard. Leading up to this fast, I’ve been eating super healthy—no sugar, nothing processed. My last meal, which I had last night on Christmas Eve, was homemade yogurt sweetened with monk fruit and allulose, plus a banana. Not a bad way to finish before starting this journey.

The day went pretty smoothly overall. Around the time I’d usually eat, my brain decided it was time for food, even though my stomach was just fine. Isn’t it funny how your brain tries to play tricks on you? Instead of giving in, I drank a bottle of water with a good pinch of Celtic sea salt, and that did the trick. I also went for a short walk—about half a mile—to help deplete any glycogen stores still hanging around.

As the evening rolled in, I decided to call it a day and head to bed. No big fanfare, just the end of Day 1. One down, five more to go.
