Anyone have any reliable information about longer fasts?

I typically do my FDs back-to-back and have only water. That’s worked for me for just about a year (with a long period of backsliding over the Summer).

Recently I’ve wanted to speed up some fat burning to be able to wear some formal wear for an important function in a couple weeks. So far I’ve done 6 days and the remarkable thing is I haven’t really been what I’d describe as “hungry” at all.

I’m sorta thinking I’d just take this as far as it will go to see what my limits are. Seems to make sense to take advantage of an opportunity that’s presented itself since some ordinary FDs are distinctly more difficult that this has been.

Is there some cut off point when the metabolic advantage to fasting peters out? Is there some other concern I should be aware of?

I take a multi-vitamin and a number of other supplements regularly.

I’ll look for those articles.

The *amazing* thing is I’m not hungry and I don’t think about food other than what I have to prepare for the holidays, etc.

I may eat today. I have a pending lunch date so if it turns out we’re on I’ll have a salad. If not, I’m still going to see how far I can take it. I feel just fine and I’m continuing to take supplements including electrolytes.

I have not noticed any change in my bulk/body fat (I don’t weigh). I have noticed that the intensity of my cardio has declined but I am still able to do 75 minutes.

So how often do you do an extended fast?
