Can I balance my electrolytes with only table salt mixed into water while prolonged fasting?

I’m currently at hour 38. Not feeling hunger, drinking plenty of fluids and also salt water to balance my electrolytes. I had done 3 day fast 3 months ago, and now I want to do it again but this time not sure if I stop at day 3. Planning to do at least 10 days but not sure that salt would be enough for that. I looked up the 0 calorie supplements but couldn’t find any in my country. So my question is: Is it possible to fast that long with only salt water?

The last time I did this it didn’t go well, I was 90kg. By day 5/6 I went to the bathroom and start puking, it was all clear liquid (I just drink my first glass of water that morning)

I’m currently preparing for my next extended fast. Been taking magnesium, potassium, salt and lemon water before I really begin.
