That depends on what your normal diet is like. But, if you've been eating healthy and occasionally doing some fasting, it'll be much less of a shock to your system.
Personally, i've never got headaches from fasting. But, I do get extreme appetite, just as I normally would when i'm not fasting. Also, occasionally, I do get some sugar withdrawal systems as well, when i fast really aggressively for several days at a time.
I find the most convenient form of fasting to be the 16 hour daily fasts, which I do almost everyday. Those are very easy to execute and stick with.
- Powerofmene 9y agoThis is interesting. Overall I had a pretty healthy diet prior to my start in fasting. I rarely ate things that contained sugar or no more than a very small amount, I did not drink carbonated drinks (although I drank green tea), but I LOVED CARBS. My go to snack was always Cheez It's or Chips. I did not eat more than a handful but I did that probably 2x a day. I also loved fresh fruit which is very high in carbs. To say that I felt Like I had been run over by a truck from the carb detox was an understatement. But it only last 3 days give or take but it was a miserable 3 days. Now after years of regular fasting I have no troubles. If I overindulge during a non fasting period I pay for it with mild headaches but nothing like at the beginning. I think at the beginning i simply put my entire body a bit into shock and I was not prepared for the intensity of the headache and achiness. I stuck with it and am glad I did. Now it is very simple and works with my lifestyle really well.
