    Seriously though how was the reintegration of food? Ive heard it can be bad. We're your cloths hanging off you? Did you continue to lift?
    I do continue to lift although I am not nearly as productive in the gym as I'd like.

    I haven't had any issues with reintegration of food but I take berberine 1g every night before bed which helps a lot of gut health and basically serves as a probiotic is my understanding. I have definitely heard it can be gnarly.

    I probably won't do another long fast like that for awhile. It's really challenging with kids since I cook dinner every night and frankly I think it sets a bad example for them from a "food is bad" perspective.

    I am after the autophagy and undoing years of damage I've done to my life with late night binge snacking while working.

    My wife and 18 yr old give me grief over my relationship with food and the example I'm setting. At the table I eat twice what anyone else does (well not my 14 year old boy. 6 months ago yes). I just don't eat away from it.
