5 Day Water Fast: What to Expect on the Healing Journey

5 Day Water Fast: What to Expect on the Healing Journey

March 14, 2022 By Paul

Extended fasting, such as a 5-day fast, enables the body to heal and repair older cells, tissues and organs. It can benefit many people, include those overweight or with gut health issues, but isn’t for everyone. On the first day of a 5-day fast, expect to experience fatigue, hunger, mood changes, and other negative effects. On Day 2, your tongue may change colors and you may feel cold. However, you will also experience positive changes, such as cellular autophagy. As the days advance, your Glucose Ketone Index will approach the range where tumors will shrink. On Days 4 and 5, you should feel energized and mentally sharp. There are some symptoms, such as heart palpitations and hair loss, that indicate you should abandon the fast. After the fats ends, ease your way back into eating regular meals.

Key Takeaways:

  • Extended fasting is beneficial to overweight individuals, those with autoimmune diseases, and neurodegenerative condition.
  • On the first day of fasting, expect to experience fatigue, hunger, mood changes, and increased urination.
  • On Day 4 of the fast, autophagy is kicking in and you will feel energized and mentally sharp.

“Fasting is like exercise in that it is very uncomfortable and can even be downright painful when you first get started.”
