I know many of you are doing this also... wanted to share what i feel so far.

After 48 hours of water fasting, my body has burnt all glucos/ sugar to burning fat for energy. Note I am still running 5 miles a day and lifting. But it is harder and I am weaker and slower.

My Symptoms:

  • Slight Lightheadedness, as if I have a hangover... especially when standing up quickly

  • Fatigue climbing stairs, due to low energy stores

  • Increased sleepiness, as my body conserves energy I am sleeping better than Ever and I am one bad sleeper.

  • Hunger pangs, hardly any. First 36 hours was rough though.

  • Slight brain fog, from low glucose before ketones take over. But sitll work full schedule.

  • More typing errors as I type.

  • Feeling cold, as metabolism slows - i never get cold and I now feel the cold!

Looks like I am going to make the 3 days :D

BONUS - to make it extra hard I also gave up coffee - weirdly enough no withdrawals prob due to shock to rest of the system.

I’m doing 48 hours fasting for the Easter lent every week. It was hard at the beginning, but I’m doing very well now. I don’t have anything but water. I have hot water for breakfast, lunch and dinner time and it helps with warm up and reduce fatigue and dizziness. I am not hungry at all. I will try 3 day fasting. Thank you, James for sharing 🤗

On day 3 of the fast. Day 1 was my worst. Felt lethargic and a little down (which is unusual for me). Didn’t even exercise 😕. Day two was easy and went for my ocean swim. Day 3 is pretty good too but would like to eat something. Won’t ! Methinks breakfast tomorrow is going to taste amazingly delicious. 😋
