I’m about to start a 5 day water fasting. I’be never gone longer than 3 days before. My question is do I need to take electrolytes or vitamins during the 5 days or is it fine to just drink water?...

I've gotten fasting for 24 hours down pretty well, but always cave somewhere around 28 - 36 hours. I was wondering if I could fast on two separate non consecutive days and still consistently lose weight each week?

Am I doing something wrong? Been taking electrolytes and magnesium. Drinking water. This is my second time doing a water fast and the last one felt so much better.
What do you think?
