Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Finished my 2 day Fast. My first food consisted of nuts and fruits. Then after a few hours, I had bacon and eggs. Food glorious food. Two days without Coffee, the brain lags.
After reading your thread I would like to suggest a couple of things for you to think about. The first is intermittent fasting...I eat all my food in a 6-8 hour window throughout the day...from about 9-5. I only eat 2 meals a day usually. The time varies but I only drink water the rest of the day. Dr. Berg has some great videos on IF and I find I feel much better eating less food and giving my body 16 hours of rest and repair...more energy...many benefits. There are many different scenarios of IF.
The other alternative is to consider water fasting once a week...I used to fast on Monday of every week. I would eat dinner Sunday night then a light breakfast Tuesday morning. I enjoyed a total rest for my body once a week.
Dr. Makis has written about fasting for 72 hours once or twice a year so that your body enters into a state of autophagy which can even get rid of cancer cells...very cleansing. There are MANY benefits of this and he has some great articles about the benefits...there are so many good alternatives to eating to live instead of living to eat. Best to you on your new found discoveries concerning health.
Thanks for sharing your Wisdom T51A. Next time will be the 3 day Fasting. When you discover your new found energy. The rewards are what reinforces your Will to keep doing them.
I agree...I am very fond of fasting...and cleansing.
Well done SirBud!
Thanks J1D. You feel great when you do go back to eating. I've got more energy today.
I think I'm going to do one. Which 48 hour fast did you do?
Correction. I ate Dinner Wednesday, then breakfast on Saturday.
Only filtered water. Ate Dinner Thursday, then ate breakfast Saturday. What 48 hour fast would you suggest?
Congrats fren, not an easy task, esp the coffee !
