Fast-5 Diet and Lifestyle: [fast5] Re: In Case of Emergency During Fasting

You could greatly simplify by eating once a day, then 20-23 hour later you'll eat again

For you, best to eat around noon since your body doesn't do well after 7 pm

Coconut oil helps thyroid so that would be good fat to eat along with egg, fatty meat, fish at your once a day meal Eat plenty as it needs to fill you for 24 hours and you can skip the vegetables that cause you problems as plenty of nutrition is in the meat and you can run that experiment for a month to see how the long period of fasting helps your digestion and you can run this experiment EVERY day instead of Pilon's limited 2 times a week fasting as you want to be fasting the majority of the hours in a day 20 plus hours and you'll be in ketosis without the carbs

Pilon's own book shows insulin levels remain very low after around 18 hours of fasting and metabolism doesn't slow up to a fasting period of 36 hours

Calories aren't the enemy it's an insulin rise you get with eating many foods which raise insulin, like Carbs, Not in Fat or not much from Protein, If hungry after eating a properly fat-laden large meaty egg meal, drink water throughout when you think you are "hungry"

Continual fast is what you aim for, not eating

an hour's worth of eating is usually sufficient to provide a person with nutrition for a day

I understand that celery and lettuce are extremely low in calories, but wouldn't they set off the reaction that produces salivia ie. your body thinking that you are getting ready to eat something yummy when actually you are only eating 3 lettuce leaves,,,, resulting in you feeling even more hungry?
