Can anyone who has done 3+ day fasts comment on this?
1. How much better do you feel mentally and physically from fasting?
2. Also, do you look healthier from fasting? (or younger)
There are no downsides to fasting (when done properly and safely).
You’ll lose bloat and a few pounds (probably more, but not guaranteed. You’ll feel better mentally for sure. Once you get used to feeling a hungry your at peace.
My luck with longer fasts not so rosy, 3 days, no problem, when I tried for a week I felt bad on day 4, and developed a wicked case of acid reflux that finally caused me to break the fast at the end of day 5. Hunger was not my main problem. I still look old and fat…so not sure about the looks. I lost about 2 lbs after refeeding. Mental clarity was fine throughout.
