Planning on doing a 5-day fast. I’ve read quite a bit from Dr. Longo and Dr. Fung, and listened to numerous podcasts from other doctors/PhD’s. Considering the following to help or assist with the fast, and looking for any other advice!
I am doing weekly 24 hour fasts now, and will get in 1 or 2 (36)-hour fasts in as well beforehand, just to prep mentally a little. (Thanks in advance!)
You’ll do fine. Just drink when you feel like it. I don’t think the supplements are really needed but either way, good luck!
Fyi I’ve done 5 day fasts for 6 months now. Lost 60 lbs. I have about 20 lbs to go.
Your mileage may vary, but if it’s your first prolonged fast, I would skip the weights and do only walking. Every time I have gotten too fatigued to finish a five day fast, it was because I exercised too much.
