Fasting after drinking

Hi everyone! In start of the new year I have decided to pick up my fasting again (I did however do a sneak start already back in December). I woke up today still pretty tired and affected by my pretty huge alcohol consumption on new years eve (long time hangover). But I woke up late and have not been hungry, so I decided to do an extended fast for at least 36 hours. Have you guys fasted after a big party? Is it okay to do it? A part of me feels like the autophagy might get my body feeling normal faster, but I am not sure...

Answer

Drinking heavily frequently depletes water and electrolytes.

Fasting depletes water and electrolytes.

Eat if you’re hungry, don’t of you’re not. But seriously.make sure you get fluids and electrolytes.

I am doing a nine-day 20:4 fast period to kick off the year before switching to 20:4 on Tues/Thurs and 36hr on Saturday (which is my resolution for the year). Was going to start yesterday but woke up and felt absolutely awful after the NYE party and needed to take paracetemol; no way I couldn’t eat, so I started today instead.

Alcohol really messes up your electrolytes, your water, everything. I personally don’t think it’s a super good idea to be fasting in addition to all that. If you still feel hungover personally I’d wait until tomorrow to start.
