fasting question

[levani]

i've done a 6 day water only fast.

Now i am doing it again but i am doing water and potassium chloride, sodium chloride and potentially baking soda

thoughts ?

@levani Hi, it's definitely a good idea to add electrolytes.

Beware of potassium chloride tho, your body can't really utilize it and it'll do more harm than good.

You don't really need potassium unless you fast for over a week but if you wanna get the benefits of it, you wanna go for potassium citrate or bicarbonate instead.

Also, magnesium citrate is a good supplement to take when fasting.

@Villager Albert why magnesium ?

@TatTwamAsi yeah but ACV cole robinson advised against it,eggs or bread to break a fast? that's crazy advise bro,i think fruit and steamed vegetbles will do just fine for me

@levani Most people are deficient and if you are, fasting can worsen the problem. But if you know you have a good level of RBC magnesium you're good to go.
