Ms. A, I was getting my best results in the Spring when I was fasting regularly. I started out with some occasional one day fasts, like you're doing, then worked my way up to pretty regular two-day fasts. I even did one three-day. It wasn't as hard as it might seem, but I decided I like food too much to intentionally skip it for that long. When I was doing two days, I'd alternate with two "feast" days.

I mentioned a couple days ago that I was also doing better when I was working out regularly. For several months, I was really committed to doing something every day, just 15 or 20 minutes. I've worked out the last two mornings and I'm already feeling better mentally. I don't enjoy it and I had started making excuses like "well, I worked out the last couple of days and I don't really need to do it every day." It was a slippery slope and I knew it, and I ended up at maybe once a week.
