I finally ate on day 6

Interesting. So, what were the things you had to watch out for during this fast?

Nothing, really. I was already used to fasting so it was a breeze for me this time. I was genuinely not hungry the first five days. What also helped was waking up late on the first day, because that meant less time being awake that day and bedtime nearing sooner, allowing me to say "I will eat tomorrow instead," though that turned into six days basically. Just lol.

Okay, so I started dieting about a month ago. I did this by switching to OMAD (one meal a day). However, now the fasting month is coming up this month, in like two weeks from now, and for an entire month, I will be forced to change my eating habits, by essentially doing TMAD (two meals a day, a pre-dawn meal and a dinner to break the fast). As a result, I will be gaining weight. It would be demotivating for me to weigh myself after three months of dieting, and seeing that I gained weight since I started. It would genuinely kill any motivation to continue and then I'd let myself go again. That's why I decided to go all in right before the fasting month starts, so I can lose considerable weight and thus stay motivated even after the fasting month. This was the only way for me.

I explained it in detail there.

I am lowkey jealous you get to eat so much while gaining barely any weight.

I guess i’m lucky. Think about the positives tho - at least you get to eat something.

Not eating for days was giving me insomnia again. On day 5, I had gone to bed at 2:45 AM and I woke up at 5:25 AM, and I did not go back to sleep. On day 6, I had gone to bed at 1:45 AM, then I woke up at 4 AM first and then at 5:30 AM. I realized this must be because of not eating anything at all for almost an entire week. Plus I was getting hungry now at this point, so I broke my fast by having dinner. I had tomato soup first, then pakorays, and then a Punjabi dish called kadhi pakoray. Pakorays are deep-fried onion fritters, they’re very tasty. @NumbThePain

Thats just insane. I would rather eat 1 meal per day
