Not so good. I made it 26 hours. I am going to do it again in a couple of weeks. I am grant writing, and the hunger pangs became a distraction that was keeping me from being productive. I felt hungriest at the times that I would normally be eating, but it subsided a bit after that. I did drink some Powerade which has 0 calories, but has electrolytes. That felt pretty good, and I recommend it. I did a liquid-only diet in high school for almost 5 days. However, at that time I was drinking juice, milk, and soda, which makes a big difference. 72hrs is going to be tough. Best of luck. You might want to warm up to it with a couple of shorter fasts.
