It's going well. My stomach's been grumbling all day, but it's manageable.
Congrats on getting to 5 days. How do you feel?

I added pinches of salt to my water. Not sure if that’s cheating by other’s standards but helped. Found I was very thirsty days 2-4. Maybe because I flew day 1 so was on my back foot with hydration.
I feel really light. Had a goofy day today, which was amusing. I didn’t feel too hungry at any point. Or it passed after 2 hrs at any point. Nature helped a lot.
Could have gone longer mentally but body signaled to call it today. So listened. Maybe next time longer.
Good luck! Listen to yourself! Hunger feels like an illusion now so that’s a nice perk. And insights were strong!
Salt has helped me a lot, because I was getting headaches. Taking walks outside has been helpful to me too. There's something about walking that takes your mind off you for a while.
For now, I can keep going. My body will definitely let me know when to stop, I think.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm surprised at how many people on Nostr have done this fast.
