“As almost everyone who’s ever tried fasting knows, that doesn’t actually work. Your metabolism will start shutting down, and after a few days at the latest you’ll be unable to continue.” - not my experience. I’ve water faster for a week a couple of times now and I found that you start to reframe hunger. I also had euphoric episodes which were bliss. The biggest downside was not being able to train (cardio) as usual. The most interesting thing was that a keto diet following it didn’t work at all - I just keep putting weight on. If you do another trial later in the year I’d be interested in trying. I’m training atm so don’t think it would be compatible.

Maybe you're one of the "lucky" ones or maybe I was in a bad spot metabolically somehow (PUFAs?) and now it would work. Interesting to see! I do plan on doing a fat fast some time in the next few months, will see if that does anything.
