Summary of my water fast

16th of December 2021


It's been about a week since I finished my water fast. My weight went up by about 0.35 stone (2kg / 5 pounds), which means I still weigh about 0.25 stone (1.5kg, 3.3 pounds) less that I had before I stopped eating for 8 days. Other than that, contrary to what I expected, my metabolism is faster now. Or maybe it's just the placebo effect, I don't know.

When it comes to food, coffee tastes slightly different and I love ketchup even more than I used to.

Will I ever do it again? Don't think so. Do I regret doing it? Nope. I'm happy with the results, I tried something new, I lost a little weight and I hope my body could recover a bit during the autophagy phase.
