I've got a heavy work day tomorrow but I'm going to try a one day fast from sundown Saturday to sundown Sunday. (Dunno why Sundown, just kinda feels appropriate.) You all have convinced me.
None of this "not showering for 3 days will make me lose crazy amounts of fat" stuff though. I would want to see some form of paper on pubmed or any other medical journal before I try that.
Consider this feedback.
First there are various types fasting of methods. You need to pick the one that will help you best achieve your aim. Hard Dry fasting is the most intense but so are the results it gives.
Second - why would fast sundown to sundown? This means you will eat later in the evening. You will likely overeat and then go to sleep on a full stomach after a fast. This cannot be good for the body bc digestion takes a huge amount of energy and effort for the stomach to digest. But you are forcing the body to sleep when it should be getting some digestive help by being active -- like going for a long walk etc.
Do instead sundown to sunset. Go to sleep on a empty stomach from having fasted the whole day. Once you fall asleep which will usually be easy to do -- you will have no hunger pain in your sleep. And it will be early morning and time to wake up before you know it. It is quite EASY to do.
Most important break your fast properly.
Have warm or a bit hot water. Put in fresh lemon juice from a real lemon or lime. Add a touch of salt. Drink that first thing. Then after a bit have water rich fruits only - watermelon is the best. Blueberries also good. Have only two different kinds of fruits -- in the beginning. Then wait for another couple of hours. Try to have homemade soup with fresh vegetables and a lot of liquid for the rest of the day.
Don't eat anything you see.,
