So cool, I’ve never experienced this.
I frequently fast for reasons of faith, 3 to 5 days of liquid only fasts are common for me.
The general experience for me is . . .
* Day 1, nothing but a bit of hunger.
* Day 2, bad breath as body gets rid of stuff, hunger declines.
* Day 3, less hunger, more clarity of thought.
* Day 4, I tend to get “testy” or grumpy (low blood sugar?)
* Day 5, back and forth between wanting to eat, and not wanting to eat.
Crazy. I’ve always wondered why. I personally don’t. For me it’s the mouth feeling of something usually mushy, or the combination of savory and sweet that give me that feeling. However, mine are never really just signs or responses. They’re normally alerts to what is incoming. Downside of infrequent nausea I guess.
