As the title states, what should I expect in this experience? I have no other obligations besides just studying for a standardized test. I imagine studying for extended periods of time would perhaps be too hard on the body.
Is it necessary to have medical supervision for longer than 7 day dry fast?
Do they yield the same results? Would the 7 day fasts be more tolerable and safer? This is what Dr. Jason Fung said on the topic: “Longer fasts have more power, but more risk. To me, there is no reason to fast...
Hello, I always had a white tongue no matter how long I brush it and it always made me sad. Is it gonna help me if I do 7-days fasting? (I started anyway)
Is this normal? I’ve been taking in about 3-4 grams of salt and my weight doesn’t seem to be moving. I actually feel pretty normal and was wondering if I should keep going? Thanks
Has anyone ever done this with one day refeed? Will this spare a bit more muscle than a 14-day one?

Hi! I’ve done quite a few 36s, 48s and even a few 72s. Fairly comfortable with the protocol but I’m struggling to get to anything longer. Is it mostly mental? Since I am taking electrolytes etc…
In other words, most people who do a 7-day fast have experience with 3-5 day fasts beforehand. But has anyone just “jumped” into a 7-day fast?
