Broke the fast at around 62 hours with a pizza (in my defense the owner of the hostel I'm staying at is Italian and makes one helluva pizza) + half an avocado and a litre of coconut water 🤠
reply
Gosh, 62 hours! I'm pretty sure the pizza must have tasted the best ever.
reply
Ohh yes it was almost heaven :)

You really are a genius, I want to follow your example of perseverance.
reply
I don't know about being a genius... but I certainly have some perseverance :)

I semi regularly take vitamins D and B12. I do think they're somewhat necessary in northern latitudes with a very sanitized diet.
My strong preference is to get what I need as naturally as possible, though.
reply
I too take b12 but I've read some negative points lately about consuming it so regularly. I've now cut it down to twice a week and it feels all the same.
reply
Do you eat much fermented food?
reply
No I don't. I eat traditional north Indian veg food which has chapati + vegetables or dals + salad + desi ghee (butter) + curd.
reply
I think fermented foods are the only way to get much B12 from diet.
I've read mixed things, though, about how much a healthy gut microbiome can produce.
reply
Yes, you're right. We have many different kinds of pickles and they can be very good source because they have vinegar and are fermented. I just don't eat them like everyone else does in my family. They are often acidic for me.

I was doing some research yesterday for the best exercise interval timer app and settled for this one. It offers endless possibilities for customisation, and the UI is nice. I am still experimenting with it, and already consider purchasing a license.
Here's one of my custom workouts, why don't you give it a try and send some feedback?

Let’s go

I think my scale sabotaged me—I ran some tests, and it’s really inconsistent with the measurements. I already bought a new one, and I’m not discouraged by this minimal loss this week. I’ve been sticking to my diet strictly and still feeling very motivated.
However… next weekend, we have a family event, so I’m going through a process to cut down on water retention. Hopefully, it works!
