Mate, the amount of time I spent thinking about food was bizarre.When I do the water fasts, obviously you definitely lose energy and really you should be doing next to nothing and just lying in bed because you want any excess energy from digestion to heal the crappy parts of your body.
With the 4 litres a day, was some of that with electrolyte powder. You can actually die of drinking too much water at once.
The issue with adrenaline and sleep is something that I would definitely look into. That seems a bit strange to me but it might be more normal for you.
Around the third to fourth day, did you do a number two even though you hadn't eaten for all of those days?
Anyway, your body will be happy with your fast. Good job.
For me, the most interesting aspect of a water fast when I first did it was the huge amount of time you spend thinking about food, preparing food, shopping for food, good food, the dishes, eating out, your fave foods, it's so much mental energy.
From roast chicken to pork belly - at one point I even thought the dog food smelled appealing.
I’d day dream about food, think about food in bed, drift off in team meetings and think about a lamb rack with roast potatoes.
Thought zero about sex or alcohol or anything else and almost entirely about food, so I agree!!
And yep I took an electrolyte powder once per day
