I am as surprised to write this as you might be to read this: I just completed a 5-day fast.
Essentially, for 5 days, I had nothing but water and coffee. During the first full 24 hours I had a couple of very low sugar kombuchas but yeah…crazy, right?
In episodes 300 and 307 I talked about why I did it and why I feel strongly that it’s dramatically different (emotionally & metabolically) from a crash diet but today I want to share the experience and talk about the primary lessons I learned from this 5 day fast and how I think it will influence my diet & mindset moving forward.

Just curious where in NC you are? I’m in Charlotte!
Hi Kristin, I don’t live in NC. I went to NC for the duration of the fast to stay with my friend Ella who lives there. We did the fast together. 🙂
Right, I was just curious where you visited in NC.
Thanks for the podcast by the way!
Oh sorry, I guess I read your comment wrong. We were in the Winston/Greensboro area.
Oh, also I was curious — did fasting not give you headaches? That’s what I’m afraid would happen to me. 🙁
It did – I had a headache for a couple days. I have daily recaps on the blog of how I felt each day of the fast.
