I know adding in the pickles is not truly water fasting but for me, the magnesium and pickles are what I need to consistently do long fasts in the beginning. I hope to not need them after a few weeks.
You have to understand that you won’t gain anything back if you actually follow a diet afterwards, if you’re going to overeat like a pig you can fast for a 100 days, even lose 40 kg and gain it all back within a month.
I know of about 6 people that have hit the ground without a parachute and survived. Somebody that fasted 7 days and it was all water? I guess it is possible.
.5 pounds of actual weight loss a day is a reasonable expectation. Beyond that there are a ton of variables so you’ll have to do it and see how you and your specific protocol pan out.
