hahaha. that’s not healthy for you /s

seriously, as someone that has done extended fasting at times (think weeks) my advice is not to jump into the deep end of the pool.

Try eating all your food in an 8 hour window for starters and after that do several fasts with increasing duration s 1,2,3,5,8... days of fasting (fibonnaci fasting)

the other thing to consider is that if you think or see something is wrong yoh stop. fasting is mostly safe, but there are edge cases were yoh will have a bad time.

and last piece of advice is that I have noticed people that eat sugar (lots of sugar) have an exceptional hard time fasting (the hunger is unbearable). So one thing to try is to kick the sugar habit before fasting (at that point even if you decide fasting is bullshit you’ve kicked sugar to the curb and that’s huge in its own way)
