59: My Best Week-Long Fast Yet (Results, Experience, Insights, & More)

Update: 2023-12-20

Description

My experience fasting for a week straight, including how I was feeling on day 6 of this extended fast; what kind of results I got in terms of energy levels, body weight, blood sugar, ketones, etc. Plus other thoughts and observations about why this prolonged fast went remarkably well.

Some of what I talk about here could definitely be useful if you're considering doing a prolonged fast, or if you've done it before and had some challenges.
