What are your favorite forms of high fat? Looking for accessibility, healthiness, and satiety.

I do daily 16:8 fasting (only eat from noon-8pm) and keep things paleo/low carb when eating. Recently I've tried some extended 72-hour fasts and really like them too. The big thing for me is that I love exercising in a fasted state--I'll do 30 mins. of cardio and about 10 mins of bodyweight strength training each day in the most fasted state (right before noon when I break the fast). The combo of eating low carb, int…

I did a 72 hour water fast and it was so refreshing ! And wow! You more than halved your size. That is absolutely incredible.

Yeah it's wild, here's a before and after: http://imgur.com/hHtyMPF Training to climb Mt. Rainier later this summer--something I could never have imagined being possible 2 years ago.
