re: 3 day water fast

I'm most interested in your plan for how you break this fast, what's the first 12-24 hours look like? I once thought fasting was a great tool for me to use because I can easily go long periods of time without eating. I had to accept that I was wrong because I never had an effective plan for breaking fasts.

Before it had a name(or I was aware it had a name), OMAD, was what I did. I drank black coffee all day, and then ate one huge meal. That's why IF was so easy for me to adopt years ago, 16hr fasts and 8 hour feeding windows are easy for someone that is used to doing all their eating within a 3-4 hour window with a 20ish hour fast every day.

I tried longer fasts like you're doing and those were surprisingly easy, but I couldn't transition out of them, so the weight loss was never sustainable. In a way it just enabled me to further indulge unhealthy binge eating habits. I'm interested to see how you transition into maintenance.
