Context: For the readers of mine who don’t have the Substack app and didn’t see the shares in my timeline this week—I embarked on a 100-hour, water-only fast that began Sunday evening.
That sounds like the cycle of detox! I have never personally done water only. I’ve done juice fasts before and minimized versions of Master Cleanse. I am feeling a need to a reset and haven’t leaned in yet to what I want to do. The headaches are awful and no joke. And like everything as you displayed, it passes. Thanks for sharing and for the nudge in my own way.
You're a rockstar for pulling this through. I can't, for the life of me, stay sane when hungry... And I can't say no to a bowl of B&J ice cream either 🙈
No, I haven't but I'm going to google it immediately 😋
As someone who can make hours-long projects out of compiling themed playlists for every occassion and situation life may throw at me, I'm very excited to listen to what you've selected!
My business partner did the 72 hour. In the middle of the night on his third day, he woke up, doubled over and puking. His body was cramping. He had been drinking water constantly during those three days. Ended up having to call ambulance on him. They gave him fluid fluids and did some blood work. They told him not to do the 72 hour TikTok fast anymore because it’s not healthy. He was mainly doing it for the still regeneration too. I think from now on he’s just gonna stick to the intermittent fast. Glad yours went smooth smoother than his did.
Bro, he definitely didn’t integrate any electrolytes or salt into the fast. However, he was drinking coffee and I think that’s one of the main reasons he got dehydrated. I’m sure he’ll try it again, but he should’ve done more research first instead of using himself as a test dummy 😆
I love fasting! Did a fast 5 day fast a few years back. It is exactly as you have described. The other challenge that I did was 1 year of water 💧 only! It changed my relationship with water and my health.
🎉👏👏👏🎉
Agh man, I would have been impressed with 48 hrs! Good job making it as far as you did! Appreciated hearing about your experience.

Yesss 🤛 That fasted lucidity is an empowering and enlightening experience. Well done!
You rocked it 🤘🏼I’m always inspired and impressed by your discipline and will power!

But have you had "American Dream" B&J's? 🤤
Speaking of rockstars, I haven’t forgot about your BRMC playlist–I’ve started it, but it’s something I’m taking extremely serious!

Damn dude, I'm sorry to hear that and glad he's okay.
It sounds like he went full-throttle without adding salt and or electrolytes. Indeed a dangerous way to do it.
Thanks for sharing- it's exactly why I posted the photo of my water bottle next to a tub of electrolytes!

Tell him black coffee is perfectly fine as long as he's also getting his electrolytes in.
I couldn’t do it. I love food too much. lol.
The dedication and commitment you currently show?
I have no doubt you could.
It's...

Thanks buddy.
For me it’s mind over belly. Lol. 👊

Hold up. One year of water only?!
Yes! Changed my relationship with water and powerful choices!
I’ve done several 72 hrs….thats enough for me. lol!!
So you've climbed the mountain of day2!
72 hours is fantastic, GP. 🫡
I'm super excited to give this a go!
It's a 4-day roller-coaster well worth the ride!
