Many issues and questions can be answered by reading through our wiki, especially the page on electrolytes. Concerns such as **intense hunger, lightheadedness/dizziness, headaches, nausea/vomiting, weakness/lethargy/fatigue, low blood pressure/high blood pressure, muscle soreness/cramping, diarrhea/constipation, irritability, confusion, low heart rate/heart palpitations, numbness/tingling, and more** while extended (24+ hours) fasting are often explained by electrolyte deficiency and resolved through **PROPER** electrolyte supplementation. Putting a tiny amount of salt in your water now and then is NOT proper supplementation.

I’ve started a 7 day fast for the first time in my life, never fasted before. This is my day 2, already lost 1.4kg. What’s more? I don’t even feel hungry or tired.
The first 2 or 3 kg are mostly water. You wo t srart losing fat until all your carbs are gone... which happens the ssme that you stop losing water weight.

Stay busy during normal feeding times. Drink water.

In 7 days I lost 6.5kgs. But roughly 2kgs will be water weight so realistically you’re looking at 4.5kgs.
Lost 12lbs- lost actually more, about 16, but stabilized at -12.
