My 36 hour fast is about to begin. I am drinking a post-dinner miso soup (as is my custom) & will not eat again until Thursday morning. I'm going to take the day very easy. May be on Twitter more than usual for distraction but will try to avoid fights as I'm likely to be grumpy.

36 hours? That sounds painful. Is this a necessary part of keto?

No, it's not. But I have decided to try it, having done two 24-hour fasts (lunch to lunch) which were unpleasant but possible. Keto makes it a bit easier. It ups weight loss without any down sides, I think (have been reading a LOT of studies).

I am also interested in the psychological benefits.

PS it is less fasting time than you might think, since 16 hours of that you're asleep; 4 hours are the normal time I leave between dinner & bed & I already intermittent fast so I don't usually eat in the am. That leaves only 9-10 hours that feel like fasting.

I see. Well, I trust you know what you're doing, as you've clearly researched this topic well. But there's no harm in me reminding you to keep hydrated and to not exert yourself too much. Good luck, and I hope your fast goes... fast.

Thanks! I am planning to treat the morning like a normal day: workout, work, go to ballet class. But from 1pm I am going to rest, watch "Babylon 5" AT LAST (thanks to your tip) & other shows, read a novel, take a bath (if it's cool weather) & basically drink lots of water & tea.
