Dr. Jason Fung has a different perspective. Stage five may come sooner or later, depending on your fasting goal. While we don’t assign a specific target day, you may want to make breaking your fast a planned event you can look forward to and celebrate when it's all done. How You Feel: Accomplished Even though this way of eating has been tied to health benefits, there are many other things you can do to benefit your health that don’t involve fasting.

Fasting triggered autophagy in the brain, clearing out misfolded proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease[ *]. You may notice bad breath that takes on a fruity smell in the initial stages of fasting. This is a result of elevated ketone levels, in particular the ketone acetone, which is released through the breath[ *]. Acetone is created spontaneously from the breakdown of acetoacetate and is the simplest and most volatile ketone. It diffuses into the lungs and exits the body when you exhale. After 16 to 18 hours of fasting, you should be in full ketosis[ *]. Your liver begins converting your fat stores into ketone bodies — bundles of fuel that power your muscles, heart, and brain.Khandia R, Dadar M, Munjal A, et al.

Collier, Roger. " Intermittent Fasting: The Science of Going without." CMAJ : Canadian Medical Association Journal 185.9 (2013): E363–E364. We pride ourselves on being your source for the best, scientifically-accurate advice for healthy living.A 2020 review looked at 18 studies of people undergoing intermittent fasting regimens. In the four studies that reported side effects, some participants said they had mild headaches ( 6).

Stage four is the extension and completion of the healing and cleansing processes that began during the earlier stages. The longer you fast, the more time and opportunity your body has to heal and cleanse itself. Benefits: Personal Goals and GrowthTotal electrolytes with a fifth serving excluding the Magnesium Citrate capsule in the final serving: Reduces alcohol, sugar, and sodium intake: It is unclear whether or not the fasting procedure itself can lead to positive outcomes. For example, simply reducing your sugar or sodium intake for a few days may provide a benefit. And for those who drink regularly, avoiding alcohol for several days or more may lead to a reduction in blood pressure even with no other diet changes.

People who have kidney failure or are on dialysis do need to be careful about their electrolyte intake. And kidney failure is complicated, so definitely consult with your nephrologist (kidney specialist). It’s okay to lose electrolytes, but when you do, you must restore them. Otherwise, you could develop an electrolyte imbalance. This can lead to symptoms like confusion, irregular heartbeat, cramps, and dizziness. The most severe electrolyte imbalances can cause cardiac arrest, seizures, and coma. In such a state, your life would be at risk. Do You Need Electrolytes When Intermittent Fasting? Even if you’re not on a water fast, where the primary beverage you consume is water, you should still replenish and hydrate yourself with water. Since water has no calories, no sugar, and no carbs, it’s an ideal beverage to consume when fasting. The electrolytes for water also make this a smart beverage choice .With careful planning and thought, fasting can be an incredible springboard into a healthier lifestyle. One suggestion is to make plans before you even start your fast. Write down what you're hoping to get out of it and what you want to accomplish. If done correctly, the end of a fast is the perfect time to begin a dramatically healthier diet and lifestyle. Additional Fasting Tips If you exercise while fasting to maintain muscle mass or to augment fat and calorie burning, then as you sweat, you’re erasing even more minerals from your system. When doing any type of extended (multi-day) fasting it's important to replenish your electrolytes. Electrolytes are constantly lost by the body through sweat and urine, and their depletion over time can have scary effects on everything from blood pressure (light-headedness/fainting) to muscle function (heart arrhythmia). But as I said, this isn’t individual medical advice, so talk to your own medical providers. What about Kidney Failure? A 2016 study in 52 women found that participants were significantly more irritable during an 18-hour fasting period than they were during a nonfasting period ( 10).
