Yep ... i havnt started yet! haha.
I get married this Saturday and the usual arrangements/stresses that go along with that + the honeymoon in Portugal surrounded by amazing food and wine made me rethink my start date.
I will be looking at doing it either in may or June

The liver by itself holds about 200g of glycogen and it takes most people about two to three days to use all of this up while either fasting or using a ketogenic diet.
Interestingly, the longest recorded medically supervised fast lasted over a year. The patient was grossly obese and went from 456 pounds/207 kilos to 180 pounds/82 kilos. Five years later he weighted 196 pounds/89 kilos. The study can be found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl ... 5-0056.pdf
An approach that I've seen work well involves fasting two non-consecutive days per week, say a Monday and a Thursday, until you reach your desired bodyweight. Then cut back to one day per week to maintain the target weight. My brother in law did this. He lost over 30 pounds/15 kilos and has kept the weight off for over three years. It's not great for sports performance, but can be very practical for a number of reasons.

I did regular 24 h. fastings, regularly thru 7 years once a week,
I supported it by bentonite and psyllium husks .
6 days a week - lot of freshly pressed juices /1-2 l/
and meat 2-3 times a week.
bread restricted, only whole grain / no wheat/.
Gee, have to return on this path, `cause I felt great, back then!
@Pacedog - this estimated amount of protein is for a day or week /let`s say : 140 - 300 g for 70 kg male/?

Did you do any sport activity during these times, daily or two/three times a week ? I tried to fast many years ago, that time I was quite actively practicing Karate, had to stop the fasting after two days, i couldn’t keep up the intense training.
