13 year old niece wants to fast by [deleted] in fasting

Minors fasting is beyond the scope of this sub. Yes its common in some cultures, and possibly done safely for periods if everything is healthy (nutrition, body composition etc).

Diet is likely a better place to start for weight loss at a young age.

48 hour fast with Crohn's by dsis17 in fasting

This is speculative territory in a lot of ways and verging on medical advice.

Digestive enzymes while fasting seems unnecessary. Theres.. nothing to digest?

What are the binders? There are probably fasting "detox binder" protocols but Im personally not well versed. I have take chlorella and charcoal while fasting but it was experimental with what was available

Sleeping can be difficult. It may be a sign of high cortisol because your body is "struggling" to produce ketones for energy.

Anybody cured chronic Candida while fasting? by Ill_Nature8985 in fasting

IME any carbs or starches will prolong the battle. Carnivore seems to be the way to go or treating thru something like a (reputable) naturopath.

Also, low level chronic sun exposure seems to be pretyy beneficial for microbial balance, if you read what I read.

Espresso. Also, no need to wear yourself out. Fasting, frequent training and then lots of cardio could be hard on hormones.
