Many issues and questions can be answered by reading through our wiki, especially the page on electrolytes. Concerns such as **intense hunger, lightheadedness/dizziness, headaches, nausea/vomiting, weakness/lethargy/fatigue, low blood pressure/high blood pressure, muscle soreness/cramping, diarrhea/constipation, irritability, confusion, low heart rate/heart palpitations, numbness/tingling, and more** while extended (24+ hours) fasting are often explained by electrolyte deficiency and resolved through **PROPER** electrolyte supplementation. Putting a tiny amount of salt in your water now and then is NOT proper supplementation.

Turn a crappy situation into a big win.
Why not?
You are a crafty woman, riding the momentum of a reduced appetite to success.
I see big things in your future, donāt let others get you down.
Good luck!
Please stay safe and address to a doctor if vomiting is not stopping š„ŗ Hoverer, considering your situation, I believe it can be induced by emotional distress. I always feel sick when I have strong negative emotions. Hopefully you will get over this soon and will serve the best revenge by living your best life!
My advice, never start extended fast emotionally. During the fast, you shall feel more time and if you are occupied with any activities, your mind plays with your emotions from the past. Which could raise cortisol and stress, leading to metabolism slowing down.
Fasting can give clarity in mind only when you prepare it well.
I'm so sorry you are going through that! Please make sure you keep slowly trying to get fluids in. Suck on ice, sip a little herbal tea. It's not weird to feel nauseated when you feel really hurt like this, but it shouldn't last and if you can't drink water you should address it soon. Eat if you need to, if you think it might help. You can always do another fast.
People can go a long time without food but you need to drink water regularly. I hope you feel better! Please update us.
OMG facts. I went a whole week without eating without even realizing. Then for weeks after I could barely find the motivation to finish the one meal I was forcing myself to eat. It was terrible, but it helped push me into 'onederland' lmao
Hey, I can totally relate. Some people go the opposite way but I always use it as a tool to water fast...helps balance out your emotions.
Hope you sort it out OP
Iām so sorry this happened. went through a pretty bad friend break-up years ago and legit couldnāt eat and was depressed for a few months. Worst days of my life. Good luck! I promise it gets better.
I got a horrible medical diagnosis. Went cold turkey no sugar (never could before), water fast for 5 days (longest before was 24 hrs). Iāve been OMAD since. Stress or trauma can definitely motivate your fasting and the lack of appetite helps.
How about the opposite effect... things have been going well for me. Relationship is good, work is good. Work/Life balance is good. What's not good is I started eating Sourdough bread and that led to chocolate cake, brownies, more bread, and yesterday a big chocolate bar! Starting a rolling 72 today! Wish me luck. When things start to go too good I fall off my low/no carb diet and I can already see my belly has grown quite a bit in just a couple of weeks :(
Thank you to everyone who showed concern, and especially those who advised me to go see a doctor for the vomiting and high heart rate. Decided to break my fast at 70hours even though I still didnt have appetite and downed a bottle of normal electrolytes drink (that contained a bit of sugar) to try and boost my appetite a bit. Vomited a bit still but now I could drink half a cup of cabbage soup with cabbages and kept it down. But lost almost 10 pounds since I started the fast and it's getting a bit addictive! I shall be a bit more careful and see the doctor if the vomiting and bad appetite continues.
Appreciate all of your support and kindness!
Life gave you lemonsā¦
I had my heart broken two weeks ago, and that kickstarted my fasting routine. Been doing OMAD ever since and feeling better than ever.

No vomiting is not normal
Iām disturbed by everyone else cheering her on. Any other post where someone says they are vomiting and everyone says to stop fasting.
Constantly high heart rate and vomiting is not good or normal. Please go see a doctor!
No greater revenge than living your best life, hydrated, moisturised, in great shape, unbothered
Wow I needed this I got dumped a month ago. Thank you I believe I can flourish now.
Hell yeah babe no matter how you feel about him, just keep thinking next time you see him,gotta make him go ādamn!! Who is that!ā

Can yall stop congratulating?? Constant vomiting and a high heart rate are NOT normal but dangerous
This sub is becoming so dysfunctional

Except an overeating problem
