fasting anon here
how many days can I go before this becomes seriously unhealthy?
Fasting is a stupid solution to whatever problem you're trying to correct. Like using a sledge hammer to kill a fly.

I'm fasting for psychological reasons (meditating of something bad I recently did, hoping this will reinforce my weak faith).
I'm only just past 72 hours and the hunger is gone but I still feel just as weak as yesterday.
Jesus fasted 40 days which wasn't considered too ridiculous (though he was in the desert). People don't start counting down the days till death till it's in the 50's, Bobby Sands last 56?
if you're drinking plenty of water and keeping your electrolytes up, then you can keep going without problems until your body fat percentage gets to about 8
