I've never made it past the point where you're still starving. Probably should try again, if only as an executive function exercise. What's your motivation?

the first time i did it it was because someone told me it resets your immune system by replacing your white blood cells with newer better ones. then i read about (temporary) benefits to mental clarity. rn i want to do it as a sort of extreme elimination diet thing

Thanks, I agree! I'd like to try a real 5-day fast myself soonish.

Coming out of the fast, will you be adding food types slowly, to better register their effect on you?
