Is that 48 days or 48 hours ? Probably hours. 

Last November I fasted for 28 days straight. In 2 days I don't recall any differences.

 Hours. There's studies out there that say 72 hours is the best if you're trying to reap the benefits from a short term fast. Even for short fasts there is a lot of evidence that suggests you can live longer and decreases the chance of cancer by a significant margin. 28 days is insane. Did you have a lot of body fat when you started/did you lose a lot of muscle if not? How would you refeed after such a long duration. I've fasted for 5 days and nearly passed out from low blood pressure even after introducing food slowly.

 The amazing part. I never felt hungry at all. After 12 hours and you know you're not going to have anything to eat. I then understood the difference between craving and actual hunger. 

When to the health food store. Picked up some Electro-Mag which is this powder supplement that supplies us with electrolytes, which is essential for maintaining hydration. I'd take it every other day cause I never felt like melting it in hot water before cooling it. Taste like Neo Citron.

There's this other liquid mineral I took, 2 drops a day in one of my many drinks, which of course was water. I forgot the name, it's around here somewhere. Grand total for both supplements was 90 bucks.

I did have some weight to carry on with the fast, otherwise It would've been difficult. 

Day 14 is the point where people give up but I kept on going. 

I created a playlist of food shorts while I was fasting, cause food looks so good when we're not eating it. It sounds like I'm torturing myself but I was getting some type of dopamine out of admiring it. 

When we eat we do get a hit of dopamine, it's very enjoyable. So there comes a point where we start to feel a bit, I wouldn't say depressed, but something about it starts to suck.

I must've farted twice and it was like fresh air upon inspection. 

It was like I was pissing spring water.  

I was shooting for 30 days, but by day 28 I was feeling really sick of water. Started feeling unsafe, so I walked to the grocery store to pick up a watermelon. I damn near died walking up a measly 20 degree hill for 5 minutes. Rested at the top in front of the grocery story. 

When I went in I was disgusted by everything I saw. I only wanted fruit. Felt like I was going to gag. I understood anorexia how someone with that needs to eat something like grapes or watermelon for awhile before eating something more solid. Grabbed the melon and took off. 

On the way back down the hill I thought I wasn't going to make it. It crossed my mind to pick up a branch and stab that melon and start feasting, and it crossed my mind to just give up and sleep on the sidewalk. 

Got home, knife and spoon and went to town, started feeling better real quick and passed out. When I got up I had eggs, and was back to eating normal by day 29ish.

The result. 

I have a mild condition of eczema and some condition where my head is always more tanned than the rest of my body, but that went away. Lost weight, can't remember how much. maybe 30 lbs. People seemed more friendly and conversations seemed to happen more easily, boosted confidence, They say it resets the liver, but I have no real way of knowing, but I had this glow. Clear mind. Strength gradually returned and I was bursting with energy. The whole time my piss was clear and that carried on for awhile. Very clean mouth, tongue is very pink, and on that note, brushing our teeth while fasting is very annoying as the taste of toothpaste feels like it may deactivate the state of ketosis and kickstart the stomach. 

Other stuff I can't think of. I wrote about it somewhere in here in some random thread. Over all I would say it's quite easy except at the end. The last days was too difficult/worrisome plus tired of water ( That seriously happens) and I was motivated to break the fast even though I only had 2 days to go. 

The effect has to do with mental tendency to refuse temptation. You can get a similar effect by playing a game where you do the opposite of what tour brain tells you to do. If your brain tells you to walk, run. If your brain tells you to sit, stand. If your brain tells you to eat, starve.

The effect of fasting is real. I do it once a week, 36hr or so, every Saturday. Sometimes over the weekend.

The Body will go into a state of ketosis without something to digest, regardless of the mindset.

Sure. I have been in ketosis for years.

The positive effects however additionally come from exercising discipline.

 Mmnnyes.

Starts kicking in after 12 hours, but it can be set to 100% in a day. Hold on a sec Professor, I'll confirm. ( Nathan It's a day ! right Nathan !? A single day ! Eh !? ). 

Yeah it is. 

Just some regular walking and keeping busy can get you there in 24 hours, or else it'll take up to 4 days.

I've been breaking ketosis regularly since February which is 3 months after my fast. When you go long with it, you feel a buzzing sensation. Feels like it's in the blood. As though countless into the trillions of DNA ori is grinding away at unused reserves for replication and the gears of the Helicase is grindy, and it's happening to all of them over time gradually until all of them are grindy, the blood really seems to fizzle. Totally feels like soda. I think that causes the body to dehydrate quicker which is why we take electrolyte supplements when going long to stay hydrated.
