What electrolyte packets do you use?Archived Message

I'm intrigued, but my dietitian wife might murder me if I try this.
Sort of already experimenting with 16/8 intermittent fasting. Doing OK with food (did have a bit of dry popcorn around 10 PM last night), but alcohol may be an issue. Had one glass of wine last night with mrs. Effin (didn't want to tick her off by not having one with her) and this past Tuesday and tonight we'll go out for beers after the HS basketball games.
I can quit the unnecessary drinking at home, but I think it's in my best interest to not shut it all down socially. Just slow it down / regulate it much more than I have.

Doing another 3 day fast this week, might stretch it to 3.5 days.
I've done a three day and two day (January 2-4 & 8-9), consuming nothing but water and two electrolyte packets per day. The other days, I just try to eat normal and moderate my drinking. Granted, I was in Denver for for days last weekend, and Austin for two days the weekend before that, so that hasn't been great.
However, I'm down 21 lbs. since January 1 and feeling great.
