Jackfruit
Iām OMAD pretty much the whole year apart from a holiday etc and for no reason other than it suits me. I have couple of coffees with double cream and black teas but mostly water and I donāt OD on that either, some days I might drink 2L others barely 500ml.
Having said that, the very first time I did this and when I do the longer fasts I only drink water but again I donāt try to consume X amount, just when Iām thirsty. When you do it first time, neecking a glass of water puts Mr.H.Pang in his place but after a few days you realise itās not hunger you are kicking aside it is addiction and that can be whatever your vice is from spuds to biscuits etc but after 2 or 3 days honestly you do not ever feel hungry and that can go on for days and I believe weeks (depending on your fat stores) I think the max I have done is 14 days some time ago as I fancied single digit fat percentage but it doesnāt suit me personally. I feel really good in the 10-20% body fat range and think mostly reside in the middle somewhere as I donāt do any of that measuring malarkey any more but have decent idea of where Iām at. Put it this way itās not aesthetics, itās how I feel. You will be surprised at how much energy you have when the old digestion isnāt in constant service !

Iāve been Omad since I was a kid but didnāt really call it that - we just couldnāt afford more than omad(seriously) - when I was young we called it character building if we were hungry and it stuck with me I guess - I just never grew up.
Even today I NEVER have breakfast, apart from coffee and sometimes one slice of toast - thats where my intermittent fasting came from - Iād fast from 8pm(evening meal) thru to lunch(1pm) so 17 hrs every day of the week and sometimes Iād skip lunch. - never really thought abt it - just did it.
I am lucky tho cos I nver ever feel hungry,

We have been hunter gatherers for hundreds of thousands of years, though recently we are evolving rapidly into fat useless blobs. If you and your family havenāt eaten for days, youāre not going to be very useful getting a woolly mammoth for dinner if youāre weak and lethargic. So, fast a bit more than 24 hours and you will feel really sharp, mentally and physically. Itās more pronounced in men than women.
It is more important what you donāt eat than what you do. Avoid sugar and vegetable seed oils and it will make all the difference. By the way olive is not a vegetable. 
Vegetable fat is everywhere - mayonnaise, salad cream, salad dressings, spreadable butterā¦ I use a lot of beef dripping, coconut oil and about 4 blocks of butter a week.
I usually skip breakfast and have something late lunchtime plus early dinner, and do a lot of training too. When I have races, I do have carbs and it becomes like rocket fuel, lol. I had a couple of bananas this morning prior to a 5k race and I managed sub 19 mins.

Jeez! is EVERYONE waking up?
Neither are tomatoes nor cucumbersā¦
They are fruits by definition.
Tomatoes are a slightly toxic, in the core. It has to be taken out before eating or cooking.
All nightshades from the Americas are toxic to some degree. You know potatoes can kill you if you eat the wrong parts.
Some people claim heavy breakfast is healthy, but I tend to disagree. Why should you eat anything while youāre not hungry. I had two cats and I observed that they never eat more than they need.
Herbivores spend most of their waking hours eating grass, because itās not nutritious and some of them even have to chew cud because they canāt digest it well enough.
Will Simon Parkes dance?
Not that I want to see it.
His update for November 29.
Trumpās thrown out court case in Penn was planned to be thrown out.
Well I never heard of tomato or cucumber oil.
Regardless of what you think of TR the coppers & establishment need scorching.
Edit: @Magog it would appear he has been hung out to dry by his ā ā ā ā ā ā backers ?

Not sure what the answer is for Tommy.
Feel really angry for him, but canāt see any good options
haha, if you try, Iām sure you get some oil from the seeds.
What about watermelon seeds?
Before and after you fast, such watery fruits are good foods to eat, while bananas are too nutritious for that purpose.
If you eat bananas while you are trying to come out of a cold, flu or Covid or similar condition, youāll never recover. (So I hear, and I have seen cases where such people ate bananas in the belief that bananas are a good food source).
Tropical fruits, especially bananas are yin and they tend to cool the body according to the Chinese medicine based on yin and yang.
Will someone try bananas while having a cold, flu, or Covid?
I want to know the result. LOL

Something my husband noticed, since Brexit, government contracts have to now go out to tender to UK firms first and anyone with a UK firm can bid. That is how a ferry company with no boats won a major contract. There is one contract he saw worth Ā£3 billion supplying arms to the MOD. Anyone can have a pop. Maybe we can source some shit from China. Heās going to try for a contract. Heās one of the leading experts in the country on fraud risk management (cybercrime) and would have a good chance for anything in that field.
