When I've fasted, I haven't exactly liked it, but I'm also amazed that it's actually possible to have a more or less normal day without food. The human body can actually go a few days without food, in fact (not that I'm interested in trying it). Who knew?

Wow, I'm really proud of you! I can fast about 3 hours max on good days, and then my blood pressure drops like a stone and I start to feel confused and dizzy. This has gotten so bad before a surgery once that I can only have surgery first thing in the morning, for safety reasons.

There’s an old saying related to human survival:

‘3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food’

Can’t say I’m interested in testing any of those three time limits but the thread just reminded me of the saying!

Haha thanks guys, urgh yeah don't think I would have managed much longer without flaking out, but all good now 😊

Been there. A few months ago I ended up fasting 33 hours because I was on "nothing by mouth" while awaiting emergency surgery. Longer actually, since it was a few hours post-op before breakfast turned up.

I thought I was hard done by until a friend ended up in the same situation a couple weeks after me, only she had to fast THREE DAYS because apparently they kept expecting the surgeon to show up and he didn't.
