If I could make it past the first 24 hours of fasting I could probably go further, but I get really bad headaches when fasting and usually give up somewhere close to 24 hours. I hear that if I were to push through for a few more hours that the headache would clear up, but haven't been able to do that yet.
- fao_ 6y agoThis doesn't tell us anything, and drinking water alone isn't enough. How much and how often did you drink water, and consume salt or rehydration salts. The latter is just as important as the former in keeping your body functioning. If you experience significant salt loss, you will get a headache as your body tries to maintain homeostasis. This is exactly one of the reasons for the headache part of a hangover, and if you adequately replenish your water and electrolytes, you will be vastly less likely to get one.
- rorykoehler 6y agoThe headaches could be due to electrolyte imbalance. Are you taking 4g potassium-citrate and 300mg magnesium-citrate a day when you fast? If not that could solve your headaches.
