Hi guys,
So I was attempting a 96 hour fast and had to end it early around 76 hours. I woke up at 2am (which is strange because I normally sleep through the night while fasting) and I felt TERRIBLE. I tried having some salt with water, that didn't help much, so I made the decision to break my fast with some bone broth. I'm currently sipping it gently.
I still feel pretty wretched. I've done 72 hour fasts before without issue, any ideas as to why i could be feeling this way after only 96 hours?
I feel nauseous and my stomach feels upset.

Some people have a weird experience when they first fast and it scares them off.
However, I do 76 hour fast a lot and each time its different. A few days ago, it was horrible, other times it’s a breeze
Answer
How old are you and what are your stats? Sometimes you just have to end it early. Don’t be afraid to listen to your body. You mention taking salt, were you supplementing with potassium and magnesium as well?
