Re: Beginning a longer water fast

Thank you, Andrew and Nadia. Snowboarding is on the menu this weekend so I think I will start after that, unless snowboarding rookie-style on the bunny slopes would be too much after a day or two of fasting. The 21-day fast is very appealing but first I'll try for ten days and see how I feel.

One thing I did notice on the one-day fast was that towards the end of the day, my heart rate felt like it went up a bit. Have any of you experienced that?

Generally speaking, how bad are acne, canker sores, bad breath, etc. during a long fast? I'd like to hear about your experiences with the more unpleasant temporary side effects.

I really appreciate your support.
