oh I did have about 14-16 ounces of coffee with half and half, no sugar. I know that's not ideal but I don't think it'll matter TOO terribly much for a simple 24 hour job'er.

Right now I'm on day 5 of my 10 day water only fast. I do this every year to clear out/reset my system.
This year I started doing the 6/18 and it helped a bit. I got up to 230lbs and I should be at 200 or less. Since starting the 6/18 early this year I got down to 217 and then started my fast. A big thing with all of this is just finding something that works for you. Check out this short video and how his diet works for him. |

I break my fast with my biggest meal of the day after working out fasted, that seems to be the best routine for me. Most experts say that's not ideal but it really works for me. My brain super feels sharp, my mood is fantastic and I have a ton of energy for the day with no caffeine. I work out for about 1.5 hours and then have 4 eggs with 4 OZ shredded steak and about 1/2 cup of cheddar. A little prosciutto as well on the side.
For lunch it's usually tuna or chicken, an avocado, some nuts and a skyr yogurt. A few small snacks here and there, usually around 1800 cals, 100 grams of healthy fat and 150 grams of protein. Body feels better than ever, I'm in better shape than I was in my 20s. |

How long are you fasting at a time? Also, seems so weird but an ad I saw the other day claimed Avocado toast isn't good for you, I thought that was strange. |

Avocados are pretty universally recognized as very healthy, except by those who still think all fats are bad for you. They are incredibly high in fat, so if that's something you consider unhealthy then you might want to stay away from them. |

I'm on hour 118 of my water only fast. You can do this!
I may suggest some 2% plain yogurt (sugar free) with some type of fruit. That has good gut bacteria. Oatmeal seem simple enough as well though. |

Stop this intermittent fasting, KETO, No Bread, only bread. Whatever fad diet you're trying this week. Listen, Burn more calories than you consume in a day. PERIOD. You'll lose weight, I promise.

Not sure if you're directing this at me, but I'm doing this for other reasons. Thankfully my weight is good RN.

Same goes for laying off and bread and eating keto or low carb. Not everyone needs to do that, but if you’re a type 2 diabetic you can literally reverse the disease doing so. I know because I did it. |
