Hello
​
I’ve been doing IF for years, and I do like 30h fasts every other month, I did 60 h fast a few years ago, and know I plan to fast aroud 70h fast.
I’m male, 28 years old and I have a percentage of fat around 15%. I’ve been having plenty of liquids throughout the day with lemon juice, sodium bicarbonate and salt, I also got some magnesium supplements.
This is how I prepared: I reduce considerable the carbs lately, no sugar whatsover, and on my last meal (yesterday around 800pm I had no carbs. Today around 700pm had a light bodywight workoutand the I took a dose of exegenous ketones.
​
Throughout the day I’ve been feeling somewhat dizzy, but nothing worrying and a little bit wierd from time to time, (like a sense of weightlessness). But I have felt pretty much ok. I did my regular resistance workout a couple of hours ago and I had a cramp on the my foot, this happens to me every other day (I’m not sure why) but this one was a little bit longer, and it reapeted it a little bit later, wich really doesn’t happens.
Is this something to worry about?
​
I would really apprecite any advice base on experience and medical science.
​
Be happy, my friend.
I had that same feeling when I did my very first fast of 42 hours some months ago. The first 24 hours were a breeze, I was planning to do at least 48 but has to stop at 42 as it was becoming uncomfortable.It was a water fast with no electrolytes whatsoever, so based on my experience maybe you didn’t have enough salt/potassium?Hope you’re feeling better now!
