Anyone got any experience with water fasting?
Take electrolytes - a decent amount of sodium and potassium (but not too much potassium because that can kill you) will make it way easier on you. Depending on how long you plan to go you may want to add in B and C vitamins because beriberi and scurvy are a thing.

If you count black coffee as "water" my record is 6 days. Be careful upon refeeding - stay away from anything that will spike your blood sugar for a day or so, because that can also kill you (though 3-5 days is pretty safe - that mostly happens after weeks without food)

Thanks for the advice. I was going to do ~7-10 days but work came up so I don't have time now. I'll keep it in mind for next time.
