today is day three of my 72 hour fast

this is the hardest day of the process. i'm so starving right now, dreaming about food constantly.

i just need to get through until tomorrow morning and then i can have my big cod, eggs and cheese breakfast.

i am pretty sure that part of why it is beneficial is that it accelerates the healing process of the digestive organs, which are basically getting their equivalent of "sleep" - the rest of the body has downtime, even the brain, but the gut only gets to rest when you don't eat.
