@Jen - I went swimming and my ankles were just fine lol. The only thing that was weird is that I have some numb spots from nerve damage from the operations on my feet and it feels strange against the water. @abbadabb - I just did a OMAD (One Meal a Day). I didn't eat from 6 PM on Saturday to 6 PM on Sunday. Just water, although bone broth, black coffee, and tea with no sweetener is permitted. The worst part for me is no diet coke which I am addicted to. So it makes me crawl the wall a little. I usually do 16:8 - eat all my food in an 8 hour window and 16 hours of fasting. Both of those aren't too hard. The next step is a 36 or 42 hour fast - much harder to go entire day and night without eating.
