At least leave it in warm water, so I don't feel so alone now...!!!
@gnilma will keep at it, even through the depths of Canadian winter.

In fact, my friend, do you have any writings on how to maintain a prolonged fast, any advice?
reply
How long? I’ve never gone longer than three days.
It’s easier if you’re doing with someone else.
reply
Simply put, what foods do you eat, for example, to be fasting for more than 14 hours?
reply
What I’ve been doing lately is just eating a ton of dense healthy food all in one sitting (or at least in a narrow window).
I do that in the early afternoon and it leaves me full for the rest of the day. Then, in the morning I just sip on coffee with coconut milk and honey, which gets me by until I eat again.
I was pretty surprised how well I adapted to this. When I do get hungry outside of that window, I usually snack on some fruit. It’s light enough to keep the fast off but substantial enough to take the edge off.

Here at home, we're trying to restructure what we eat, throwing away junk food, making bread at home, eliminating gluten, etc., and we've been seeing that fasting is also very good for the body. That's why my question: as Cubans, we tend to eat the same amount of food twice a day and have a "light" breakfast. Believe me, it's been a bit difficult to change, but come on, we're on the right path.
A while ago, I heard a phrase that really stuck with me and has helped motivate me to change:
"It's better to take care of your health than not to take care of your illness."
I don't know if it's translated correctly, but it's more or less like that.

I've been curious about cold showers for a while now. Is there any solid evidence that cold showers do good things for you - more than anecdotes (not that anecdotes are bad, enough of them and you sometimes have solid evidence).
reply
We let our temperature drop a fair amount in the winter. Also, many of these summer showers came after being outside in the heat.
