Day 4
Ugh, this fasting is not for me. ALL food looks good to me now. At least what I am craving isn’t too bad for you – Steak and Eggs!! Of course I have lost weight, anybody would if they haven’t eaten for 4 days. I feel like I am slowing my metabolism down though. I don’t know if I can finish the day without eating…

I would eat. From the research I’ve done, fasting is only a positive thing if done for less than 48 hours. After that your body does actually go into starvation mode and your metabolism slows. Eat something healthy and get your energy back up.

Strangely enough, if you were craving food, it’s probably because you were low on nutrients and not because your body needed the calories. At least, that’s what research has been showing lately during fasts.
It means that if your metabolism slowed, then it’s because of that and because you did mention that you hadn’t been working out at all during that time.
You haven’t posted in a few days, how you doing?
