3 days is easy man you should be able to do that without cracking?
I’ve done 12 days before, 3 days on water then 9 days juicing :crazy_fre (nae rugs)
Why don’t you do more than 3 days anyway? That is the worst part, you’re hunger only starts to disappear after day 3!

It’s easier if you eat your evening meal early (by 6-7 at the very latest) and then just exercise some willpower to not eat til breakfast the next day. It’s the proving to yourself that you’ve got the willpower that’s the difficult bit man, but if you manage it for a couple of days, it becomes easy after that. Good luck anyway dude, just don’t do anything that could damage your health.

you’re making me feel a bit wimp with your 12 days, but i’m also doing this as have a high protein diet and do quite hard exercise often, but i’ve read/ seen (there was a bbc doc about it) that continually eating protein does not allow various recovery of the body… when i did the 24 hours in israel i found it really difficult, lol…. i also eat big meals

This sounds like bullshit to me man. How much protein do you eat? Personally I eat at least 150g protein a day which is also considered ‘high’ but in terms of bodybuilding is nothing – there are bodybuilders who eat like 300g of protein a day and they are in perfect health and obviously recover well as they gain more muscle mass (as do I).

Isn’t it a bad idea to fast if you’re diabetic? Won’t you fall into a diabetic coma or something?

Fasting doesn’t clear out your body of toxin’s afaik, not eating things with toxins in and eating healthy stuff will do that. All you’ll achieve by fasting is your body starting to eat it’s self to get fuel, what’s not particularly a good thing imo. It’s not a period of repair, it’s a period of malnourishment. Your body will more readily eat muscle then it will fat as well, so by not eating, you’ll loose a fuck load of your muscle and may be quite weak for some time after. When there are times of hardship, our body’s are “ready” to deal with it, BUT having the knowlage that we do now as humans, although granted most of it is lost to deaf ears/minds, we can have a constant of healthy living without depriving our selves of a source of energy, IE. food.

I need to go on a diet and get back into running.

My take on it – all things in moderation. Fasting can be beneficial in carefully controlled doses.

There are studies that show that calorie intake affects life span – I was think Okinawa / Mainland Japan (Okinawans live 5% longer and eat 5% less per meal).

Just don’t overdo things either way, you should be OK. There are specific fasting regimes for particular times (I’m thinking Ramadan and Lent) but even those aren’t “foodless” fasts, people still eat in the few weeks, just less than they normally do.
