No comment from a faster, yet. All comments are people on diet or people fasting intermittent. Intermittent fasting is a contradiction in terms.

Fasting should be done yearly, individualized for your body’s metabolism.

Should be done under medical supervision of a real professional fasting doc.

Fasting is not a diet or a livestyle. Fasting is a regiment, like the worst dictatorship inside you. The regiment must not be broken not even the slightest. Except you want to start the process all over again…

I read so much bullshit about fasting online and never the real thing.

If you do fasting right all the toxicity will leave the body and mind and you will be the clearest and healthiest human being. Everything aligns automagically.

Certainly there will never be enlightenment of any kind unless you do proper fasting.

Ya I was hoping for some people who do 48+ hour fasts but it’s still interesting to see how people’s bodies react to shorter periods
I’m the commenter who eats once a day. Not sure, if that’s the information you’re looking for, but I could easily do 48 hours without negative impact on my well being. I don’t do “real” fasting, but my body is really forgoving in the meantime. I don’t feel hangry or tired. If I can’t get my food in time, I’ll just get it later. Sometimes it feels like a tiny superpower compared to other people who sometimes seem to really suffer in such situations.
I’m still interested if IF has noticeable benefits but would like to know a little more about multi-day fasts where someone depletes their glycogen and is in full ketosis.
