Counterpoint: have sleep for dinner. You’re tired enough. By the time you wake up, you’ll be less than 12 hours away from hitting the point where the hunger pangs start to get weaker. If you make it to 36 hours, they go away completely. Your body has at that point switched entirely to burning fat for energy and you will feel extra alert, focused, and energetic. Every physical activity you do prompts the release of human growth hormone to prevent muscle wastage, but your body does begin to break down damaged proteins all throughout itself, cannibalizing excess skin and malfunctioning cells. This is referred to as autophagy, and whatever reclaimed proteins don’t get used to heal your muscles and joints will be metabolized via gluconeogenesis, providing your brain with all the glucose it needs to function. You will need to drink a lot more water, though, and you’ll lose ~3lbs per day, so you probably will need to eat soon. But for now, your slavemasters will be briefly amused by your increased productivity, and the slum lord will appreciate that the money you didn’t spend on calories will line its pockets.
You also will get cramps and muscle spasms if you don’t supplement Natrium, Potassium, Magnesium. Also for me the hunger returned on day 3 and got so bad I had to stop the water fast at day 5 because it was driving me insane.
Now I just skip breakfast and have on some days only “light meals”. Easier and more sustainable long time.
By the end of my post it reveals a facetious tone, but I’m glad you engaged it as though it were sincere anyway. This electrolyte supplementation (sodium aka natrium, potassium, and magnesium) is exactly what I do whenever I choose (of my own free will and not coerced by capitalistic abuse) to forego food for a few days. I most recently went 96 hours to challenge myself but I usually only do 72. I was doing 72 hours water fasting with electrolyte and micronutrient supplements every week since August and I in fact kinda just fell into it by accident and it stuck due to how easy it was and how good it felt.
