Fasting may have reduced my symptoms.

[wolf]

Hi,

I just wanted to share some information with everyone, I have been fasting lately (A dry fast till sunset) which has been pretty hard but I did notice that my POIS symptoms (both cognitive and physical fatigue) have been reduced after fasting for about 10 days. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Whether with dry fasting or intermittent fasting.

My POIS symptoms drop a bit during fasting periods. I'm not sure if this is because of a gut-POIS connection, or if it has to do with the bodies natural reaction to fasting. I for example often feel more energetic when fasting, and that could be offsetting the energy issues I have from POIS. I would caution you against drawing any conclusions after a 10 day period though. I've had treatments last as long as two months and then become substantially less effective.
