Yes, exactly how long probably depends on a lot of factors, but the benefits really starts for me after 30+ hours.
Drinking water with potassium + magnesium + salt also helps a lot, to replenish electrolytes, but some people can manage without. Some people can continue workouts, others continue for 7+ days. It's all about experimentation.
Atm. i start each week fasting and just fast for as long as it feels ok. Often 1-3 days.
I would recommend 2 fasts per month 36-48 hours, and with electrolyte water for newcomers.
Off course starting weight, activity level etc. is also important factors, i'm personally trying to lose some "corona weight" atm.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoI really appreciate some of the detailed comments here, but I will caution people that if you have a serious medical condition you may find fasting is a lot harder on you than the above suggests it will be. If it benefits you, it may get easier over time. I have a serious medical condition. I used to routinely throw up when I was even just underfed for one day. It now takes longer than one day for me to start having strong reactions. Fasting and semi-fasting have been beneficial for my condition, but it was amazingly hard on me for a really long time and is still not easy. I tend to semi-fast for somewhere between one and two days (often around 36 hours) most months. I've done longer -- up to a week -- but two per month for a newcomer sounds like a lot to me and I assume that's because of how hard it is on me. So YMMV and probably will.
