Hi!
What are your thoughts about fasting for long period of time?
For self discipline Im planning on fasting for about a month During that time I will only drink water,yerba mate, coffee and take a lot of vitamins
However, Im curious about your personal thoughts on long fasts :)
You will definitely need electrolyte supplementation. See the sidebar.
Make sure you have a re-feeding plan in place, you can’t just break a month long fast a normal size dinner, you’ve got to build up to it over multiple days, the longer the fast, the longer the re-feed period.
Be prepared to finish early if something doesn’t feel right. This is not failure, it’s the sensible thing to do.
I’m not a medical professional, and this is not medical advise.
I have heard a few folks do it for religious reasons. A lot of prayer or meditation… A month to focus on spiritual pursuits.
Not something I would do but it has been done.
If you start to feel unwell at all stop your fast.
