Does the 23hr Fast starts after our eating window today or was it supposed to start last night? I see a few post of 23 hours are almost complete. I'd figure Sunday into Monday will be the 24hours.

Morning all, breaking my 16 hrs fast with a green smoothie and fresh fruit. Lunch an hor later with black beans and leftover stir-fry.
10.5 more hrs to go of my fast but I stay hydrated and talk back to my stomach when it’s growling and say “Shut Up Devil - Shut TF up” we got a few more hours to go ✌🏾🤣
Yesterday was the start of my 20 fasting and man o man I tell you, yesterday was by far the hardest day for me. I woke up extremely hungry for some reason and I get as much water as I can in, but I drive the city bus and at times I have to limit the water in take so that I won't have to keep going to the bathroom. It was hard, but I got through it. MIND OVER BODY and that part feels amazing. GOD IS GOOD WINO'S! Keep pushing we are almost there. Today is my day 20... So another 20 hours of fasting for me. Pray for my strength as I pray for yours.
1st are you getting the H2o in💧💦💧. Remember we are at 23 hours today so water and prayer are your best friends today and tomorrow.
Ok so things that have happened:
I slept in this morning. Yay!!! Sleeping in was waking up at 6:27am.
I am mentally less annoyed about waking up with God in the mornings.
I am not moving enough after i eat so in the morning i am having a huge bowel movement first thing. So now i know i need about 15 mins or so of movement so i can maybe take one at night before bed.
I get on the scale first thing in the morning after the above. The scale said 285.5. That’s another 4 or 5 lbs down.
I have now lost at total of 20lbs from the detox alone!!!!
This is a BIG ONE!!! THE VITAMINS B12 and D3 are making me MORE HUNGRY!!!! So i am going to switch when i fast to not taking my vitamins until two hours prior to breaking the fast. So for anyone experiencing major hungry try switching the time of your vitamins.
As far as my hormones. I have been kind to my body giving it plenty of rest. I have meditate and practiced breathing every morning. I use my heating pad so cramping during my cycle has been at a level 2 or 3 instead of a 10+. Also NO HORMONAL ACNE!!!
And finally, when i break my fast, my mind says you are going to eat the ENTIRE refrigerator. But my stomach says Bitch no your not. I get to break with some fruit, 1 smoothie, a bowl of veggies (which by the way i have just started mixing all my leftovers into a bowl and eating them. Don’t judge), and a handful of nuts and no sugar added cranberries for dessert. And that’s it. I stopped eating 30 mins before it was time because i just can’t eat anymore.
I know this was a long post but i hope that this helps for people who are starting the detox in the future or are in the middle of their detox or if anyone was having these experiences, know that you aren’t alone.
Love you guys!!! We are crushing this thang and i am soooo proud of us!!!

On my way to the Gym! We almost there y’all…..almost there !!!!!! Have blessed day 🌸
Hi Winos! I haven't been sharing pics but I've been here with y'all. Thanks to everyone sharing recipes and pictures. I've been fasting since Jan. 8 when my church started the Daniel fast so it's day 20 for me.
I've lost 21 lbs so far, my blood pressure is actually low and my enery has increased. I had to stop taking my blood pressure meds because my pressure dropped to 104/70. For me that was too low and I was lightheaded for a day. Watch you pressure because eating correctly will lower it for sure.
This platform has been a great source of support and encouragement and I had to say Thank You to everyone! Let's keep y'all pushing, we got this!
This will serve as Day 12 and 13s meals! It is delicious 😋 seasoned with fresh garlic, Mrs Dash ( Salt Free) and a Lil coconut Aminos and my fav cilantro 😆 I haven't had an appetite in several days!
