    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!
