Its hard leaving thecoli but I gotta find a way...
I did a 12 hour and I was dead, my back and legs and starting to hurt me ans I'm yawning all day, I'm gonna fast fast all day tomorrow just drinking coffee and water.
With sickle cell the age and extra weight are making me really tired.

I've heard there are toxins your body cannot get rid of unless you take a break from food, supposedly giving your body a break from having to digest food allows it to expel toxins that you've had for quite some time
Yeah not so much. That's a gross underestimation of what your body was designed, evolved, etc to do.
Think about it......these toxins are so hard to get rid of yet just by not eating for a few days that allows your body to get rid of them. That doesn't even make sense.
There really isn't a good reason to deny your body of nutrients longer than 12-16 hours at most and that's pushing it. I'm taking religious reasons out of that consideration.
So you did it for 12 hours, felt terrible and you are going to do it for 24

2 hours away from my first 12 hour fast, it's not that bad. I just drank water and green tea all day.
Gonna try 16 hours soon.
I'm trying to figure out how many days a week to do this to get the body used to it.
How is this benefitting you?

So far it's not bad, stomach grumbling but I'm cool. I'm not gonna change my foods just gonna fast daily.
I mostly. Drink diet coke, I also vape, drink green tea and mad water during the fast. I plan to eat at 9pm then don't eat again till 1pm Friday.
I can handle it, I'm about 22 bf so I got motivation.
Do you think I should do a 24 hour fast or stick with a 12 or 16 hour fast?
I question if you should be fasting at all....

I remember watching some interview with Ryan clarke of the Pittsburgh Steelers talking about how he trains for football while having sickle cell anemia. The things that stuck out was that he drinks a whole lotta water to stay hydrated while lifting and running and also religiously checking his heart rate to make sure he stays in his comfort zone (think he said it was like 140 or something)
Somehow someway he managed to stay in NFL for 13 seasons while training/lifting like a pro athlete (which meant he also had to get medically cleared every year to play in the first place). Unfortunately he had to get his spleen removed after a game in denver because the oxygen is so sparse at that altitude (which makes sense becuase sickle cell affected hemoglobin doesn't bind to ozygen as well).
@Cuzo I hope you don't live in high altitude region because that only makes things harder for you.
Back on topic I wouldn't rely on extreme fasting because doing it too often fukks with your brain's chemistry. Being that your brain consumes more glucose/energy than other organ in the body it's gonna suffer the most.
@Cuzo go ahead and ask your doctor if it's a good idea. I bet all my coli cash she/he would be
at the whole idea.
Personally if I were you I would find out what your BMR is and eat 200 to 500 calories below that. Then I would aid that with an hour long walk everyday. Investing in an accurate heart rate monitor will be absolutely crucial for your health (I'd recommend staying under 120 bpm )
Good luck breh.

Fasting is a bad idea. The best way to prepare for it is to not do it at all.
