I'm on Day 1 and was just curious if anyone here had ever done one. I've read a decent amount about it, and I'm looking to focus on the spiritual and health benefits.

Anyway, if anyone has advice or would like to share their fasting stories, I'd love to hear about it!

Like you only drink water for three days, or you don’t drink water for three days?

Pretty sure he means only water. Because he might die the other way around.

Fasting is healthy. 3 days at a time? Not sure about that but doing 36 hour fasts isn't a bad idea.

Fasting always sounds great until I’m sitting at my desk or in a meeting at 11:15 AM and my stomach starts sounding like there’s a war going on inside.

I did a cabbage soup diet for 5 days once. Lost a good bit of weight. Basically you get to eat a veggie soup recipe that has very few calories alllll day long to distract you from being hungry. And have some milk each day.

frick that. Was stupid way to lose 16 lbs in 3 days(~20 in 5 days, from 250-230). That's my spiritual take

Thanks for the input. I know it's not going to be easy, but the benefits of autophagy are very intriguing

No way I could do this, if I skip two meals I get weak and a headache.

And grouchy AF

Yeah but only that time I was in NoDak on the pipeline and we were welding that puppy up fast and shite was rolling and boss wasn’t about to let us take a break. Made 5 months of truck payments those 3 days though.

Prepare to pee a lot. That’s all I got.

Back when I was a hardcore addy tweaked in college I went four days without eating and only drinking water/Gatorade.

I think I lost like 16 pounds or something crazy like that. Played a shite ton of halo. It was badass.

I love cabbage soup. I love any kind of soup, I could just drink the liquor from cooking greens all day

Good ol' North Dakota...

I was stationed in Grand Forks for about 4 years.

Cold. As. Sh!t about 9 months out of the year, but it wasn't a bad place

I don't think I could do that unless at gunpoint
