I’m surprised to hear you feel mentally miserable on longer fasts. I (and many others) report intense mental clarity. For me, everything slows down and becomes bright and clear. It’s really pleasant. Are you taking magnesium and sodium?

I’m tempted to comment on your seasonal health swings, but to each their own.

I do take magnesium salts and salt, plus apple cider vinegar. The brain works fine during longer fasts, can confirm the 'clarity' thing, but I do not feel happy when I can't eat for a few days. Of course thats not hunger, just addiction to food. As to seasonal health swings, yeah, not great.

I mean, they are cycling 72 kilometers while in a fasted state 3 days a week. I'm assuming that is roughly 2-3 hours of aerobic exercise at a very athletic pace. That would be a high level of exertion for a non-fasted person.
