Anecdata:
The only times I've got dizzy when '24h water fasting' are when I've been eating normal/high amounts of carbs in my diet around the fasts.
I've been doing a few days/week of 24h water fasts again, but on a very-low-carb diet, and can report no dizziness whatsoever.
An additional benefit (also mentioned by others) is that I don't have any insatiable hunger pangs on the water fasts (which I did when I attempted them on a normal/high carb diet).
- lloydjones 5y agoObviously your mileage may vary (etc etc), but for me, it's all about removing carbs. It's the difference between water fasting being (honestly) easy .vs. A herculean feat that I couldn't manage.
