Fasting

NAS71232

 I usually fast for 23.5 hours a day and eat one meal a day within 30 minutes at 2pm that's less than 1.5K calories. Tomorrow I'm planning my first 3 day fast. I walk 12 miles a day. I measure it with my Health app. I don't feel right unless I'm fasting and in a calorific deficit. The 12 mile walk give me an additional 1K calorific deficit. This week I did a 52 hour fast.

My mother wants to seek private autism assessment for me. She said my condition is worsening the older I get.

I can't live with her anymore. It's not fair on her and I don't talk to my relatives (long story). I'm not offensive and friendly. People take advantage of my good nature, I do as she asks, but she is disabled. I'm too neurodivergent to socialise with anyone. I want to stop taking sertraline and move into my own flat. I need to be on my own. I just want to keep my kitten.

Fasting is keeping my head clear, but it makes me very weak. After 36 hours of fasting, I can measure myself on the scale and notice a weight drop every few hours, but it makes me feel cleansed. I've seen people on YouTube fasting for 7 to 14 days. Some do a month on only water.

I'm thin, but have some stomach fat. I have advanced diverticulitis, so that might be why my stomach looks abnormal. I had a colonoscopy and they were shocked during the procedure. She said she had only seen diverticulitis that advanced in 90 year old patients.

I just want to eat fruit and unsweetened soya milk in my 30 minute eating window.

  • What is your current diet? Do you follow FODMAP?

    We need healthy fats to function properly, like omegas and avocados. Ive had a lot undiagnosed of food allergies & was put on a particular set of restrictions when I was 17. It was the first time I really felt healthy and it felt amazing. But because no one new about grains/grasses and the effect they were having, I was thin as a rail as I was not absorbing nutrients properly, which affected my ability to think clearly among other things. 

    It's helped over the years to think of my biology as it's own biosphere. It creates an image to work with where everything is dependant upon the correct balance. One off set to that balance creates a causation of effect. After years of looking into my own issues, I am strict about no gluten but also cannot digest almost all grains/grasses/cereals except white rice. I've started omitting sugar cane and only have beet sugar in the house (and other natural items like honey, maple syrup and date sugar).  But I cannot digest cruciferous veg including spinach (mustard family) and am also intolerant to pulses/legumes including the peanut. 

    This took 40 years to work out. And there's other bits to be mindful of. All humans need proper nutrition but we cannot all get it from the same sources. Biology is not an easy one to just sort through. I spent 17 to 26 just eating very little to nothing until I worked out what was causing problems. If nothing else, liver every 2 weeks has an incredible amount of vitamins. Red meat once or twice a month keeps the iron balanced.
