Anybody tried water fasting or juice fasting?

Im experimenting with it. So far i've done it for one day and on my second day. I can feel a sligth difference though. More energy, more focus, and a start of pulling out brain fog. There are different ways to fast from what i saw. Personally what i decided to do is fast for 12 hrs each day and eat within the 12 hrs left but where i started im sleeping through most the 12 hrs i have to eat. I think its better because the time im awake, i notice that im more focus on the fact that im hungry than looking at porn because im stressed. If anyone wants, ill leave the site i looked at if anyone is curious.

I've done a 4-day water fast with a friend once.

"How the hell do you do it? Do you have low appetite? A you usually a small eater or a depressed at the moment?"

I usually eat a lot of food, but am hardly overweight. I simply stopped eating, I felt hungry a little bit, kinda like when you're late for lunch, but hunger isn't really that bad.

"How do you feel during those 3-4 days ?" I felt pretty normal, slightly hungry (as I mentioned already), with a lot of emotional cravings of specific food.

Afterward I felt good about my ability to execute a fast, and no longer care when I have to skip lunch for work (or doing jetlag fasts). It changed my attitude a bit about food, or at least gave me more insight into my diet, and in particular about how I sometimes eat for emotions/dopamine versus nutrients. It wasn't like I achieved enlightenment or anything though.

I think a lot of this stuff I read about increased focus and energy after fasting is either BS, the placebo effect, and/or just needs a fasting time greater than 4 days. Regardless, I recommend doing it at least once as a self-awareness project.

 

Fasting can be tremendously useful. I've tried caffeine fasts recently and they've helped me quite a bit. It gives my mind something to occupy itself with, which means less time focusing on masturbation and pornography.
