Fasting and Nausea?

When I fast but still drink water (this has happened over and over), it seems to be about the 2nd day into it I feel this sense of what I would call “impending doom.” I thought it was anxiety in my head from feeling weird not eating, but now I wonder if it’s actually my body telling me something. At that time I get that feeling, I also get extreme nausea, overall sick feeling, and a tiredness and feeling like i am going to puke. As weird as it is with the nausesa, around the same time I get a strong urge to need to eat (particularily sweet things). I always thought it was just a feeling that would pass, but on one occasion I ending up puking when I was fasting. I don’t understand why this would be? I am not diabetic, does anyone else ever have this experience? I’ve been always wanting to do one week fasts but this issue stops me because I always have to eat a light bit of food otherwise I get super sick.

What was your eating pattern before now?

If you went from eating three meals plus snacks to a multi-day fast…your body will not be happy.

Recommend eating a nutritious meal and ease in later.

Let’s say you typically eat three meals with snacks in between. Recommend cutting snacks first. Then cut sugars (real and artificial). Then reduce carbs -or- have earlier dinners or later breakfasts.

Ease your body into fasting. Feelings of doom are not typical; that tells me that you’re doing too much too fast.
