important harm reduction
a 24h+ fast isn’t appropriate for everyone
if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, have certain medical conditions, take medications that are affected by food or blood sugar prolonged fasting can be particularly risky
no, eating carbs doesn’t ruin your fast
this is another weird thing that gets repeated
your body will respond to the incoming food insulin will rise, digestion will start again, glycogen will be replenished, etc
that doesn’t mean you’ve suddenly lost all your progress
