3 day water fast

I can never make it past dinner because I do most of the cooking at our house and I don’t have will power to fast while making delicious meal for everyone else.

Electrolytes are a must. Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium.

I do them all the time. Try to go beyond 3 days as that’s when a lot of the good stuff starts to happen. Good luck!

Get plenty of sodium, Potassium, snd magnesium. I got some fasting salts from Amazon that I use for anything over 24 hr. They taste like the devils dick but make you feel better.

I've done fasts several times, about 3rd day it gets easier to keep going and it's pretty intersting what your body continues to excrete even though there's no food going in.

IMO, the key is to phase in and phase out don't just STOP eating and then resume all at once. For me, I start a day or two before by switching to eating nothing but raw fruits/veggies, then reduce the amounts, and THEN the actual fast begins. Likewise, I learned the hard way after a lenghty fast that it's a bad idea to just jump right into what you usually eat. So after that, I phase OUT of the fast the say way I phase IN.

I've done a 36 hour fast. In my experience, the worst is yet to come.

I'll never do a fast again. I prefer to stay fueled.

Now, I did see a guy who did a raw milk fast. That seemed interesting to me. Raw milk is great for your gut. I assume you wouldn't feel as bad since you are getting some protein and glucose from the milk.

I’ve done a couple of 3day fasts in the last 3 months. It’s really interesting how your body reacts. I could feel stomach grumbling but not really due to hunger…it really reset my desire for crappy food and cut my down on how much I can intake for the first little while back into eating. I think it’s a great thing to do almost like a tune up for your vehicle. Definitely be careful what you eat coming off the fast. I went right back into normal food on my first one and it wasn’t the best. I took it easier on the 2nd one I just finished and it was a better transition. I was drinking one 24oz container of water with LMNT each day as I was also continuing my workout routine. I plan to do it every quarter and after the next one I’m going to push it up to 5 days. Kind of looking forward to it. As another poster stated it’s really a great test of discipline.
