I had an idea. I often heard that eating absolutely nothing for a couple days would be great. And now I did ti.

I started eating nothing Friday the 26 March with just eating 2 apples and a soup the whole day. The next days were filled with drinking water, juice and tea. The first solid food I ate again was on Monday (29th March) evening around 7 P.M.

Thats a total of 91 hours and just 2 apples and a soup to eat.

What I can tell about the experience is that it is not that hard. I had nearly no problem with the eating nothing. I had no serious hunger. The only problem I encountered was that I thought about things to eat and how great they would taste. In the end I was happy with the meal I eat the next days. One more thing I noticed was that you have some free time if you eat nothing—maybe not that special, you do not need to cook and you do not need to spend time on the table but over the long run, it also is not too health.

Over those days I noticed more than ever that there is a reason that you should eat with some thoughts in mind. And to really sit down, eat well and enjoy what you have to eat.

One article I really recommend reading about how to eat is —from zenhabits—“How to Master the Art of Mindful Eating”.
