Water Fasting Question (Health Concerns)
I've only ever tried 1 water fast. It last 24 hrs. All I had was water and icecubes for the duration.
About 8 hours in I started to develop a hunger headache (I always get hunger headaches if I go without eating for 4-8 hours).
The headache intensified and by hour 16 I was unable to walk. My balanced was distorted, I was clumsy, the only thing I could really do was lay down and wait for it all to past. I lasted the 24hrs, at which point I had a glass of juice to slowly ease nutrients and sugars back into my body (natural orange juice).
My headache lasted 2 weeks. Yes, 2 weeks before the pain in the back of my head went away.
I would very much like to be able to
Water Fast more often, and for longer periods of time, but it's the headaches and diziness are just so unbearable.
My wife fasted with me and had zero problems. I started to think I may be hypoglycemic or something. I haven't gone for testing yet.
Does anyone have any idea why I can't
Water Fast like other people? Would anything else fit?
