Planning to start my first long term fast but have a few Questions…

Hi everyone, I’m planning to start my first long term fast probably January 1st or 2nd. Wanting to get past the holidays before trying something like this out. For context, the longest fast I’ve ever done is 4 days, but I also have been intermittent fasting for many years. I’ve seen a lot of research in the health benefits of long term fasts and I know I could use those benefits dearly.

My goal would be to do a 20 day fast, but I would really love to make it 40. Being that I’ve never fasted for this long, I have some questions that I think this community could answer better than Google could:

Thank you all so much in advance for taking the time to answer my questions!

EDIT: I saw some other posts add in their dimensions so I’ll do that too.

Answer

My longest fast was 10 days so I give you props for attempting the 20 👏 What helped me was eliminating sugars and carbs a few days prior to starting. I focused on eating protein and healthy fats and increasing my water. Black coffee is definitely allowed (helps with hunger for me). I also took the extended day fasting electrolytes which help with energy, headaches and light headedness. Good luck! https://www.amazon.com/Extended-Electrolytes-Himalayan-B-Complex-Vitamins/dp/B08ZYWC5Q8/ref=sr_1_5?crid=DOW5CQ8RIKBI&keywords=reset+electrolytes&qid=1671728275&sprefix=Reset+%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-5

Answer

Currently 78 days into my fast.
