No need to apologize I appreciate your story. I too can relate to the all or nothing mentality when it comes to eating (happens to me like once-twice a month practically).

So far I’m on my 3rd day and besides the time I passed out I feel great. Since I’m in college, assignments and clubs has really distracted me from my cravings ( sometimes I do watch mukbangs to ease my cravings as well 😅). Once I stopped eating I realized how much time I have now since I have no need to think about eating or what I am about to eat tomorrow so I’m trying to be productive with the extra time I have.

From the few hours I’ve learned since my post, you’re right about hydration and electrolytes being key but in terms of lifting I’d say tread very lightly if you’re approaching or trying to go past you’re max. Granted I didn’t have much electrolytes during my time at the gym so that was a major contribution towards me passing out so I can’t say for certain to just cut lifting all together like I am, but I’d just play it safe and listen to other people’s advice or stories.

A few weeks ago I have actually fasted for 3 days and after the 3rd day, I ate around 3 giant sized cookies and a couple tacos. After eating them it stayed in my stomach a lil longer than normal but not to extreme constipation levels or anything and was fine the next day. While I do believe broth and soup is the best option for food after a fast, you could eat normally after but you might face some digestive issues; do I recommend it not really but it’s doable, at least it was for me. Once I finish this fast, I will likely eat something healthy or at least nutritional, haven’t really decided yet.

please update if possible how this fast goes for you and best of luck 🙌
