So I just completed a 72 hour fast and I was wondering if some other froggies had any experience with it. I found I really wasn’t hungry the whole time it was just the headaches and dizziness. I did take Celtic sea salt and sodium bicarb and lots of water. Any suggestions to decrease the headaches and dizziness?

Try dry fasting. Treat it safely, have water near by. You should edge into it like someone starting intermittent fasting.
Start with 12 hour sessions and build up slowly until you can do a 24 hour one. Dry fasting is basically 3x water fasting. A 24 hour dry fast is equal to 72 hour water fasting. It hits the fat stores harder. You should taste water at some point of time during the dry fast.
Don't do this and run a marathon. A recovery day would be a great day for testing dry fasting. Your body will adapt as you try this out.
Interesting. I’ve never heard of a dry fast before.
It is done for Ramadan over 30 days. A lot of research studies on it because a billion people are doing it.
I usually doing once or twice a month for 16 to 20 hours. The rest of the time I try to water fast for 16 hours or so.
Ramadan is I think 20 hours of dry fasting for 30 days in a row.
I know a few at my work, strangely they're no thinner than I am so they must really pig out when they do eat.
