This is such good information...some people do this yearly to reset their immune systems...the replies are always interesting to read...Dr. Makis has been such a champion for truth...I truly appreciate his calling...
I fast for 36h twice a week for years. It makes me unstoppable. Never sick, tons of energy and fasted workouts are incredible. Also once a quarter I do an 80hr stretch. I know it sounds like I’m bragging because I am. C’mon and match me boys and girls.
Some might call the annual fast.. “Day of Atonement”.
Just throwing it out there.
Biblically proscribed by God himself, who is just, righteous, and all scripture is breathed by inspiration of God, and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and instruction in righteousness.
Life in abundance.
Christians all used to fast twice a week - Tuesdays and Thursdays, I believe it was.

Not mentioned is that the commandment for the Day of Atonement is to fast. “Afflict yourselves”.
Leviticus 23:26-32.
To be clear, I am a Christian who believes most of the Old Testament should still be followed (some parts can’t be), and that while following it does not earn salvation (that’s done through grace), not following it sure seems to eventually lead to condemnation (per looking around at anything right now).
Early Christians fasted because the Old Testament commands us to fast, and they followed what it said, including Jesus himself, who was called by John, “the Logos made flesh”. The Logic of creation itself.

As with the drops of this board, don’t take my word for it but confirm things for yourself by researching the scriptures and other primary sources.
Edit: also it was wednesdays and fridays but that was just what they did, not proscribed.
Woohoo!! Go get em!!
The first time I did a workout in a fully fasted state, I thought it would be horrific. But it turned out to be fantastic. Energy through the roof and strength fantastic.
Now, I never eat before a workout.
I look forward to fasted workouts the most!
I've fasted for years from like 5:30pm to noon the next day, but never actually tried the 36h or more. You got me gunning for it now.
