I am not planing to use any salt, potassium etc.. as i have never had any problems with just water in the past. Last fast was 16 days, 3 years ago. I am 52 and in peri-menopause. Any woman out there who has fasted in this phase and could discuss impact?
I will be working throughout, and will aim to stay as active as i can. Any one fancy joining me and comparing experiences?

I don’t know if it’s a menopausal thing or not. I read Dr Fung’s book the complete guide to fasting and it said if you suffer from fatigue and brain fog that you need potassium and sea salt. I did suffer from these so I did.
I am menopausal. I can’t fast without salt supplements. My first fast was 21 days and I was sick 95% of the time. My second and 3 fast was much easier/better. I am currently on day 4:7 and have only needed to supplement once. Listen to your body and you will be fine. Just of if curiosity what’s your reason against supplementing?
