Hi Dr. Moore
I just listened to your book and dove into fasting. After 50 hours in, a huge headache hit me. I was drinking plenty of water and herbal tea throughout the day, but decided to forego the bone broth as your directions did not require that. It took me down for the better part of the day even after I ate some salty food and took extra strength tylenol. I’m 62 and not overweight, but wanted to get my hdl/ldl in order, loose a few pound, and bring my A1C down a bit. I just don’t think I can do more than one or two days at a time. I was trying for 7 full days, but that just wasn’t realistic for me.
