Wow Jocko that's a long fast I know you nicked your chin but I bet your stomach thought your throat had been cut!!! Well what ever works for you Buddy, I don't think it would suit me , I haven't got the will power, is it a short term regime?

The plan is to continue until I reach target weight, assuming it continues to go so easily. I want to get my Insulin Resistance back to a better level. I intend extending the fast to 60 hours, once a week, so I end up eating on Sat, Mon and Wed of each week. I just eat normally on those days, with a target of around 2600 Kcals. It is all in Dr Jason Fung's book, "The Obesity Code". There is also an excellent video on YouTube - Intermittent Fasting for Weight Loss w- Jason Fung, MD

I'm bleeding like a pig. Bathroom is like the shower from Psycho! Tried plasters, Vaseline, Mouthwash, Deodorant and applied pressure. Nothing is working. Two shirts soaking in cold salt water. And Lily keeps nosing in every time I try do do something!! Working one handed is not easy.

Best of luck, Jocko. Essentially you'll be cutting out four days worth of food. That is a big calorie reduction over the week. Regardless of any impact of fasting on insulin resistance, the reduced food intake alone should give you a result. It looks like you haven't got far to go to hit your target weight. Could be there really soon on that fasting regime!

Do you have a silver stick? I know they're rather out of fashion but they do work. Sugar is a good second, as are ice cubes. Poor you.

Oh dear Jocko. Not a happy start to your Monday. I can picture you with bits of tissue over stuck on your chinny chin chin!👄 Hope it is cleared up by the time you read this
As for fasting... too much of a task for me at the moment as I'm still feeling lethargic and run down.
Take care 👌

It finally stopped. Eventually stopped it by using alcohol. Had to use Chivas Regal! I am not on any blood thinning medication. I used to have a Styptic Pencil but haven't had one for a long time. I'll buy one next time I am passing the Chemist. Still not eaten yet as I have spent all morning one handed while applying kitchen towel with the other!!!! Won't have done me any harm.

Mrs M: Fasting actually gives you added energy and I have felt invigorated, these past couple of days. Here is a link to a brilliant video. Do not be put off by the subtitles. They are only at the intro.

Started bleeding as soon as I went out. At least I had a plaster on. Fast actually stretched to 42 hours. Off to the Pharmacy to see if they can suggest anything to stop my bleed.

Jocko, I hope your 'fasting' diet works for you. We all try our different ways to reach our desired weight and if this diet works in helping you achieve your goal then that is great. Hope you manage to stop the bleeding.
