36 hour fast to start with, then a 20 hour fast with 4 hour eating window. You learn a lot about yourself during fasts.

My window to eat is noon to 4 pm and I’m doing 1600 kcals. Right about now is when hunger sets in. Which is good. You learn a lot about yourself. This turmeric and cinnamon “tea” doesn’t taste good but is purifying.pic.twitter.com/3x8gbQ5sSV

Some say "tea" isn't "allowed" on a fast, and that's fine, I'll block those people. The kind of people who want to argue over what a "real" fast is aren't the kind of people you want in your life, offline or online.

Fasting gives you a sense of clarity we rarely have in this world. When you're hungry and fatigued, you really learn who is adding weight to your life. Some maybe find a really Zen sense of Love or something, but for me, I start aggressively removing people from my life.

Food and drink also mask emotions. This is why people who fast often talk about (depending on person) feeling acute emotions like - Sadness - Anger - Joy There's nothing woo-woo about those feelings. Food is literally a drug, and when you fast, there's RAW FEELING left.

While fasting, as with all days, I take a NAD+ supplement. I've been using NAD+ for years, the improvement are too subtle for most to notice, though my reflexes improved dramatically after 6 months.https://www.cernovich.com/basis-elysium-nicotinamide-riboside-pterostilbene-anti-aging-review/ …

Two grams of N-A-C (N-acetylcysteine) daily as well. Most people who are "depressed" don't realize it's due to inflammation. Doctors don't know about N-A-C because there's no money in it. Costs around $10 a month. Many studies show effectiveness.https://www.cernovich.com/n-acetylcysteine-depression-bipolar-anxiety/ …

Keeping my carbs at 50 grams or so. I don’t like being in ketosis. Keto was big back when Dan Duchaine was around. Too many side effects for me, but others love it. Lyle McDonald has the best dieting books for thinking people who want to know the why.https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Diet-2-0-Lyle-McDonald/dp/0967145627 …

There are close to 0 calories in tea. And it suppresses appetite. Perfect beverage for a fast.

Is this an herbal tea or does it have caffeine? I'm interested in how caffeine would affect the physiological responses caused by fasting since it suppresses appetite.

Tea is 100% fine. These fast purists are annoying.
