Something about hormones and shit idk nigga

I'm never fasting again because it became a habit, went too far and I had basically no vitamins in my system at one point and my heart got messed up haaaaa.
but now everything's better, including my heart. all I can say is dont skip on vitamins, ESPECIALLY potassium (you can eat up to 50 cal a day, but anything over breaks the fast) and break a long fast with juice or fruit. dont eat a giant meal because its really hard to digest or something after fasting.
I think its 1 week juice, 1 week fast, 1 week juice and then back to normal eating.
Also drink a lot more water than usual - you're depriving your body of food, it needs more water to operate well. You can also drink plain green tea or black coffee, but when water fasting I think those are disqualified.
There are a lot of benefits to fasting though! It reduces your cravings after the 1st or 2nd day (12 hour fast and beyond I dont get distracted by food while studying) and apparently it does help with growth hormones. A week long fast generally has a lot of benefits for your body, slightly better vision, clearer thinking etc. Only problem is that you feel very weak and your blood pressure is low. Long and frequent fasts also have the potential to screw up metabolism possibly.
Fasting 12 hours, 7pm to 7am, while you sleep is really good too. Midnight snacking messes up your progress and sets you back. I think thats all I can say. Have fun and stay safe lol

We usually have a /fast/ general.
I love my eating disorders, gotta love that binge-starve loop.
