Why not do it more often?
- thrill 4y agoit's not safe.
- voisin 4y agoPlenty of people do multi day fasts on a regular basis. I know several people that do 10 day fasts every quarter. It is totally safe unless you are dramatically underweight to begin with.
- stronglikedan 4y agoIt's very safe, unless done in an unsafe manner.
- sva_ 4y agoFWIW it can be dangerous for people with a heart condition, because when your body goes into ketosis, it'll first break down a bit of muscle, including heart muscle.
- number6 4y agoTried it once. After 2 days it gets easier regarding hunger. Downsides: my jaw began to hurt because I wasn't chewing anything. I was more aggressiv, mildly, but who am I to judge that. My mouth tasted funny. After the fast I ate a huge meal. You are not supposed to do that but I was irrational. It did nothing on the scale. I don't know what people get out of this and to anybody who feels compelled to do it because of someone on the internet is telling you it's a great experience: I have done it for you. It's not great. You are free to try it yourself but now you don't have to anymore. PS: maybe I have done not eating wrong. Please enlighten me.

I only really started feeling at ease from day 4 or so. And yeah breaking fast with a huge meal would be a huge mistake.
- number6 4y agoI did a 3 day fast because this was recommended for beginners. So you suggest I didn't do it long enough?
