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?

Lucky you. I've read about others who had the same inexplicable experience. (Not just in terms of logic or common sense—it's even inexplicable in the context of survival of the fittest—the organism's hunger drive should steadily increase, not subside, to force the organism to obtain food before it starves to death.)
For me the misery of gnawing hunger began about 5-6 hours after my last meal and never let up, not one iota, for an entire week—instead growing stronger and more insistently torturous with every passing second. Literally all I could think about for 16-18 hours a day was hunger and food. Finally I could withstand it no longer and chowed down (it was super easy :), don't have a clue how I lasted that long.
