hahaha, that is random, but yes, I do tend to intermittent fast (have for years, but stopped just recently and gained 5 lbs almost immediately).

I usually go 14-16 hours, depending on circumstances. Much longer and I get a little feisty and anxious.

I have tried to fast for 72+ hours but for some reason my body doesn't absorb water well when I'm fasting (I think some electrolyte or other got permanently depleted this one time I got very dehydrated in the desert, pre-vanlife) so I get really dehydrated and start dry-heaving, which isn't fun for anyone, so now I keep my fasts 24 hours or under.

You?
