Hey, that’s what I did in my first week+ fast! I just stuck it out and went to 12 days or so, but in hindsight I probably should have just started over later. My next fast (maybe a month later) was a solid 14 days that went great because I kept up with electrolytes.
I’d see how I felt tomorrow. If it’s not at least a bit better, just try again in a week or so.
I’m on day 14 and feeling great, but I also had issues early on. I tried just using pickles for electrolytes and that didn’t work out so well, lmao. My sleep went to shit by day 4 and days 5-6 I was also lethargic af, but I started taking my proper electrolytes mix and an mg supplement sometime around then and my sleep restored instantly. Then my energy levels gradually improved until day 14 (today) where I’m feeling 100% again. The energy levels are definitely due in part to your body adapting to using fat as fuel, but I’m sure electrolytes also play a role.
Though I want to point out that I never felt nauseous or dizzy, and if you do it’s definitely cause for concern. Might be time to break your fast, especially if it persists, then try again after a few days so that you do it correctly from the start.
Update: today is Sunday, my last day if i am going 7 days fasting. I am feeling much better. Only slight dizzy but overall so much better than yesterday. It’s either the salts working or i just had the keto-flu. Could not tell the difference from reading the symptoms. Plan to end the fast today and redo it properly next Monday.
