First 3 day fast

Newbie here - I’d like to reset my diet and lose about 15lbs. I’m also mostly interested in doing a 3 day fast for health and cell regeneration etc. I can easily do a 24hr fast but I’m nervous to try 3 days! Is black coffee and green tea ok during fasting? Should I continue taking a cal-mag supplement or what’s the best thing for electrolytes? Edit: I just read the Wiki on electrolytes to answer that question.

Answer

I am also new to fasting and am getting into it for the same reason. I feel like I now understand where I stand with food and have fell in love with cooking. I want to lose about 20lbs and reset my life. From what I have read black coffee and tea are okay. Good luck!

Answer

I’m new to fasting also but yes electrolytes. I’m currently on hour 49 of my first attempt at a 96 hour fast. Around hour 30 is when my body usually tells me I need some electrolytes. I actually start to feel sick similar to fever symptoms. Chills, no energy, bad mood. A health dose of a fasting friendly electrolytes mix like everyone else has mentioned in this sub and I’m back on my feet.
