I'm just trying it this one time. I get sick all the time. If by some chance I go several months without falling ill, maybe I'll consider doing it again. Part of the motivation is just the challenge, and curiosity. I've never gone so long without getting a single calorie. It's not a lot of fun, but I have definitely learned something in the process.
I'm completely intrigued. I fast about once a month for religious reasons - but it's no food or water - NPO for 2 meals or about 24 hours. It's crazy. Right at the end, you hit this wall, and then break through to crazy clarity. I had a friend who went water only for 5 days and said it felt amazing. He claimed clarity, vigor, and even the disappearance of some knee pain… but that sounded suspect to me. That's it - I'm trying it. I'm not sure when, but I'll post about it.
That is a weird thing. My shoulder has been killing me for about 2 weeks, so much so that it hurt to put on my jacket. Yesterday evening, I realized it was gone. I do think that they might be related. Maybe inflammation drops when you don't have the energy to spare. You can do it. It's rough at times, but really, 66 hours in, I feel remarkably ok.I had a friend who went water only for 5 days and said it felt amazing.
