A question about a week-long fast

So I’m on day 2 and was wondering how you can avoid/lessen the headaches everyone talks about during day 3/4?

Answer

add in some electrolytes. I use something called saltstick caps - they are used by endurance athletes to replenish my electorlytes.

you can also just buy potassium, magnesium from any health/supplement store - and have some salt in water for sodium.

if you’re drinking a tonne of water you could ease back a bit. the more water you drink - the more electrolytes you will flush out. You body is trying to hang on to sodium - so it will first flush potassium and magnesium.

I also drink mineral water (which has trace amounts of these electrolytes)
