So I fasted today. It went fine. I napped while companion drove, and that rested me enough for when I drove. I got hungry at dinner time but I'm not hungry anymore, which is a surprise. I was tired walking up the stairs with my suitcase, but I'm fine just sitting here playing on the computer. I wonder if I'll make it through tomorrow. I have to do some work tomorrow which is just mental, but that might be affected by the fast. Plus I might get hungry and not have the will to continue the fast. I'm not good at suffering through things. We'll see. I definitely have to break the fast on Friday because I have to socialize with strangers all day and go out to breakfast, lunch and dinner, and give a talk.
Fasting certainly made the travel preparation easier. I could see doing this on airplane trips, where you are also just sitting around and there is no good food to be had anyway.

Fasting is great, but problemmatical is breaking the fast. How do you do that
Hi there! According to Dr. Fuhrman, steamed veggies is a good way to break the fast, because they are easy to digest. Have a little steamed zucchini, then a few hours later, have some more of that or another cooked vegetable (carrots, broccoli?). Then you can start in on fruit, chewed well. Then gradually just introduce more foods.
