Diarrhea

Is this common? I am doing an extended 7 day fast. I am consuming the recipe throughout the day in two one quart jars of water plus drinking water throughout the day. Day 1-3 smooth sailing Day 4 slight headache and more hunger but not bad really Day 5 extreme fatigue and slight diarrhea. It isn’t enough to worry about dehydration but enough to be uncomfortable. I am at the 113 hour mark and really want to power through. Any suggestions?

Answer

Is this your first 7 day? Yes it’s normal, just part of detoxing. I did 3 rolling 194s. By the 3rd week, it had almost gone away.

Don’t forget to break fast slowly when you refeed. I usually do a cup of baking soda water, a salty cucumber and some bone broth for the first hour.

Just a chart for people who are interested; how long your fast should be for different benefits: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/82/cc/db/82ccdbf8acbd42b7a1e3b78610699130.png - I personally don’t go above 72 hours.

I admire your discipline and don’t want to dissuade you from completing your fast, but you could reconsider once you are finished depending on your goals.
