First 7 day fast was amazing, came back fully operational on day 9. So since it’s so wonderful of an effect I’ve decided to do another one and just extended from 7 to 10 days because you know, more autophagy sounds great!
What a terrible mistake that was, fasting to 10 days was easy but I’m on day 4 of recovery and my heart rate is still elevated constantly, I feel weak when I stand up and overall feel like a total crap! There is a reason why everyone recommends 7 day fasts instead of anything longer. The recovery after 10 days is terrible, I guess it’s 7 day fasts for me and learn from my mistake!
Is there any write ups that describe what exackly happens and why is recovery so much worse for 10+ day fasts? Thanks!
How long between the 7 day fast ended and the 10 day fast started? It could be that you tried the 10 day fast soon after the 7 days and stressed your body a lot.
Of course every fast is different and it could be a large number of things.
