Anyone else going to struggle with the fast?

[schopenh]

As the title says.
For the SN method you need to fast for 8 hours beforehand.
I am in a lot of physical pain every day and food is one of the only comforts I have.
I used to be very good at controlling my eating to get slim and keep slim.
Even the first year and a half of being mostly housebound I managed to stay very slim.
But then I went on prednisone (and lost a lot of motivation) and I piled on about 10kg in the past half a year.
I'm still not overweight according to my BMI but I look awful compared to my old self.
(Also would have lost a lot of muscle and definition)
I have tried to eat less like how I used to but I've realized I just have no will power to do so now.
I'm in too much pain and I have no future, so I can't be arsed.
The fast will be a struggle for me for sure. I would rather have a nice meal moments before
taking the SN, as I'm sure many others would.
I'm even sleeping in later so I can get a takeaway the day of CTB.

I don't find the idea of doing CTB the moment you wake up, or in the middle of the night with an alarm set, to be appealing.

You can probably get away with 4 or 5 hours of fasting, provided the meal is not too large.

Perhaps you can have a "not too large" meal, then find some way to distract yourself for five hours....

If you didn't want to fast at all, I can't really advise you on that. It would be your risk.
It might work, but I'm not sure.....

Eight hours is nothing—you do it every night. You will survive it, don't worry.

Does 5 hours diet do the same work as the 24 hour diet?

 

[a.n.kirillov]

Does 5 hours diet do the same work as the 24 hour diet?

It wholly depends on your metabolism. I know someone who goes on the toilet three times a day, he has an extremely fast metabolism—for him three to four hours would be enough. I, on the other hand, have a very slow metabolism. I sit on the toilet every two to three days, so I will have to fast much longer. I can still feel the food I ate yesterday evening in my stomach right now, almost twenty four hours later.

Not sure I understand your question.
Was there something in my earlier reply that you didn't follow ?
If so, which part are you confused about ?

I guess they're asking if a 5 hour fast prior to the ingestion would be just as sufficient as a 24 hour one

ok....
@Paull
Usually, 8 hours of fasting is the "normal", not 24 hours.

Perhaps take a read of this :

Some notes I have :

RELIABILITY
If you follow the protocol (Stan's guide) closely, and have a certain amount of determination to undergo some discomfort without calling an ambulance, and provided you take precautions to not be found, then the likelihood of the method failing is very low.
Some members have vomited, but still been successful. In the cases where people vomited it doesn't appear they drank any more SN, yet they still appeared to succeed, although the recommendation is to have a couple of extra glasses ready, and to drink more in the event of vomiting. If you vomit very soon after drinking, then drinking more would be considered required. For cases where the method has failed (almost always due to not following the protocol, calling an ambulance, or being found), the recovery seems to be good, and there don't seem to be many reports of serious lasting damage.

PEACEFULNESS
I've read various accounts of people taking SN, from various sources.
The overall impression I get is that it is "reasonably peaceful".
I believe there will be some discomfort.
I have heard it described as being like a "bad hangover".
I believe people usually go unconscious after about 20 minutes.
People who have taken SN but called an ambulance or been found have reported varying degrees of discomfort. Some have stated it was peaceful. I don't recall many cases of people reporting severe discomfort.
There's a lot of detailed information available here, so please form your own impression :

(For researching peacefulness, the non-fatal sheet may have more relevant information)

Note : I have stated what I believe to be true and the impression I have obtained, based on things I have read and things that have been posted by others. I cannot give guarantees.

Not a problem since I relapsed with anorexia. Im so used to be hungry that sometimes I only realize that I havent eaten anything when Im going to sleep.
But had a stint with overeating caused by the meds I was taking then and it made it really difficult to just stop eating.
So it depends.
Try to drink a lot with your meal and have it on small plates, ideally blue coloured, it will make you full faster. Get some adderall or cigarettes, they supress your appetite
