It is surprising what one can do.
I am not recommending this but I've fasted up to 12 days straight with only juice/water/supplements and physically felt good for the most part. After 3 days there was minimal hunger pangs. Continued cardio exercising during this time. Yes, at times I felt a bit weak but other times I had greater energy, similar to what a runners high is after endorphin release.
Reason for doing it was weight loss/mental discipline/clarity. Gratifying to realize it was doable.
Again, I don't encourage this.
But I will most likely fast like this again for shorter periods as I enjoy the challenge of being able to control
my desire for food.
Masochist?
Perhaps
Unreal! 12 days straight with only juice/water/supplements and cardio to boot. What made you choose that specific time period?
I've been considering this for a while now on my own.
I've gone as long as 7, but I think I wanna push it to 14.
No real reason other than it being a challenge and I just want to see how far I can safely push it.
My biggest holdback is caffeine withdrawals that cause headaches so I think I'm gonna have to just do some excedrin pills ( replacing dr pepper ) to curb that
.
@eliquid doing seven days is also impressive. Well done on that!
From reading your post, I would say the biggest thing is that you need to get rid of the caffeine withdrawals, is cutting the caffeine out of your daily intake slowly. Are you dependent on the caffeine for energy or is it more of a comfort thing? I recently did a 10 day detox that did not allow coffee and I find that it is more of a comfort thing now and that is with working night shifts and such. I like the taste of coffee, but I am not reliant on it. Give me some more info on this one!
