I'm currently doing my second water fast. First time I did 72 hours. This time I'm just doing a 30 hour fast.
Make sure to have water on you at all times and just drink when you're thirsty.
I find it a good idea to drink water that's around room temperature.

When you finish the fast, make sure to not eat too much food all at once. Start simple with just a half a serving of fruit. Then wait and see how you feel.

Good luck!

What do you want to do a waterfast for? Most people can do a fast for one day, without any problems whatsoever. Eat fruit the day before, and break on juicy fruits like watermelon or another form of melon. drink lots of water and rest. Dont go working, or doing loads of exercise or cleaning.

There is no real therapeutic benefits can be had in one day of fasting though, as your body sint even technically into fasting mode, biochemically. You need to fast a minimum of 3 to get any other benefits than giving your digestive system a short break. It takes approximately 3 days for the body to begin fasting mode fully. Fasting longer than 3 days is not recommended without professional hygienic supervision. Fasting at all is not recommended if you have problems or with diabetes, liver or kidney disease, or if you are on certain medications.

Its possibly due to the high malic acid content yes. Most acidic fruits are recommended to be avoided when breaking a fast, for a few days.

I want to do a 4-day water fast, but I have no supervision. :(
Is it really that serious?
