Fasting Q&A with Megan Ramos: Sleep Issues, 10-Day Fasts, OMAD, Constipation, and Hydration Issues

Episode #147

In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan Ramos answers some of your fasting questions:

1. Do you have any tips for getting better sleep while fasting? (Rose from Edinburgh) [01:57]

2. Is it possible to do a 10-day water fast without medical supervision? How long can one fast
without needing medical supervision? (Maria from Toronto) [07:11]

3. When fasting for 36-72 hours, the Quick Guides say to eat lunch and dinner the following day.
Is this a requirement or a suggestion as I find it easier to eat OMAD at dinnertime after work.
(Mable from Montreal) [08:53] 

4. My question is about fasting and constipation. How do I deal with it when skipping breakfast?
(Lucilei from The Netherlands) [11:50] 

5. I am doing 36-42 hour therapeutic fasting three times a week to reverse T2D. Once I have done that, what should my maintenance routine be? (Don from British Columbia) [15:44]

6. How do I balance staying adequately hydrated and not having to visit the washroom every
one-two hours? I find it difficult to leave home as I constantly have to find the nearest washroom, but the worst is having to get up 3-4 times during the night and having interrupted sleep because of it. (Jane from Toronto) [18:09]
