 I did a 7 day fast last year to help heal a health issue. I didn't really prepare for it too much just decided I was going to do it and did it. Drank water and electrolytes (re-lyte) as needed.  Around day 6 and 7 I started feeling super hungry. Many people say it's smooth sailing after day 3 but the end was when I got the most hungry. I honestly felt I needed to fast for two weeks with what I had going on - I stopped at 7 though and then drank bone broth for the next 2 days. Day 3 I ate bison meatballs. Be careful breaking your fast! Bone broth first!

I was in tremendous pain during this fast because of my health issue but I do think it helped me heal!

I get extremely cold at night when I fast so possibly prepare for that! 

Day 3 is when mental clarity really comes in for me. 

Once you do 7 days all other shorter day fasts such a breeze!

Enjoy it 😊🌟💫
