Any difference from 5 Days to 14 days?

G'day All, I've done a bunch of fasts over time, I'm currently 60 hours into a 5 day fast... I was wondering if there's much difference past 5 days to say 14 days. Plenty of research papers have fasts out to 30 days, which is a little extreme for where I am, but I do love the clarity I get on a 5 day fast, Just wanted info from fasting pro's on how 5->14 plays out, as I could always just stop and do another 5 next week. I find I get real hungry about day 5

Answer

Yes, I can honestly say absolutely a huge difference. I am on day 13 of a 30 day. I’ve done plenty of 5 day fasts, and a number of 8 day fasts. There is a massive difference between day 5 and day 14.

Weight, mental strength, skin clarity just to name a few. Day 10 is where I started to really be able to focus.

Answer

I’ve read that fasts beyond 10 days provide diminishing returns as far as metabolic benefits. For example you get higher levels of stem-cell based regeneration after a 10 day compared to a 5 day. However the difference between 10 and 20 day is negligible.
