* Don't start with longer than 2-3 days fasts * Drink plenty of water and you can supplement with some electrolytes to replace what you lose * Read about re-feeding syndrome. Don't eat a lot when you start eating again and avoid high sugar stuff in the beginning.

> * Don't start with longer than 2-3 days fasts Oh, absolutely right. If you have never missed a meal in your life and you plan to start multi-week fast you are in for a rude awakening. As with any other change for your organism, you are best doing it slowly and letting your body adapt. The metabolic pathways needed for operation while fasting are different from the ones you train on 3 meals a day. You need to let them develop a little bit before you go for a long fast. It would be like trying to run a marathon without any training.
