bad idea to jump into longer fasts w/o much buildup?

my longest fast to date has only been a measly 24 hours. would attempting a 5 to 7 day fast be a terrible idea? should i build up to it with, say, a 3 day one?

3-day fasts are a sweet spot for me. When I consider going longer, it’s all about how I feel at the 3-day mark. If I still feel pretty good, and I have the flexibility in my schedule, I’ll push further.

I don’t see a problem attempting a 5-day fast without having done something longer than a 24. Just listen to your body, make sure you’re drinking enough water and getting your electrolytes. If you’re feeling it, go for it.

Best of luck!!
