Day 79,
I'm currently halfway through a 72-hour water fast, for basic health reasons and a bit of a reset; this is not medical advice, though plenty of people fast for personal or spiritual reasons.
It's interesting to know that your human limits are greater than you think they are; a lot of my interest in food is psychological and habit-based.
I know that we need to eat, but after an initial adjustment, your body adapts and you have a very muted buzz of hunger; quite manageable.
Yesterday after work, I kept busy and started some basic planting. Wrote over 2000 words for a potential book.
The period of time I associated with eating became one of "doing a bunch of stuff".
It's cool to know that - at least in this respect - I am in the company of hunters from days old, who probably had spans of no food while out chasing their prey. Not somebody so domesticated that they "need" to put food in their belly every 6-12 hours.
