Kidney stones from high oxalates, it’s fine if you consume with a source of citric acid which prevents buildup of stones. Spinach salad with a lemon juice vinaigrette or something and it’s a non issue. The people saying it’s bad for ‘indigestion’ don’t know what they’re talking about

Yes putting salt in the water is a way to get in salt without eating food. Low salt levels are a big reason for not feeling good without food

A change in mental state. While fasting you can experience things like mental clarity

No, If the reason is to lose weight, just simply be more active (exercise, walk) and eat less. With eating less I don't mean starve with under 500 calories a day, more like being in deficit and eat high protein (maybe even carnivore diet). But as the thread author said above, he isn't doing it for weight lose, but to experience the mental state or whatever.

you litterally make your own body eat your muscles to stay alive. While also doing this you will feel dizzyness, fatigue and other bad symtoms. The body runs on food and if you dont give it any then you simly cannot live normally anymore. If your wish is to live a life where you can hardly do anything in a day, then water ONLY is for you. Not saying mr.beast did it all the same or anything but look at the video he posted. He hardly made it 2 weeks without feeling sick all the time.

Hardly made it 2 weeks? 2 weeks is a pretty long time. It doesnt look like he was getting any electrolytes or drinking salt water either

Ya know what Osmosis is? If not i cant help you here. If yes then: Basicly our cells can intake a certain amount of saltwater based on procentage. This is why they use a specific procentic in the hospital. Reason for this is cause your cells cant intake too much salt cause then they'l die. But if they intake too little salt then they get die aswell. This might sound weird cause we drink water with 0% salt in it daily. Reason why this aint a problem is cause our cells wont even touch that water since it just slides down out body like normally. If salt was in there, it wouldnt be able to just slide down normally and then the cells would go wild. Therefor saying if you drink saltwater daily then your cells will get fucked real quick and result in your body dying cause it cant intake the water, only the salt. Basic biology. EDIT: The cells im talking about is bloodcells

you're talking about something that applies to ocean water men. You do realize that a cup of ocean water has 9 grams of salt in it. I'm talking a cup of water with half a gram of salt in it. Too much salt is bad. We know this. Its like I'm talking about drinking a beer while you're talking about chugging a bottle of vodka and treating the health consequences as the same

People hate giving up their sensual addictions. It's sad but I don't blame them when no circumstance has ever forced them outside of their "do/eats what you want, when you want" care-free modality of living. Last year I was often fasting at an 18 hour stretch per day, some special days 22 hours, and keeping a vegetarian diet for maybe 28-29 days out of the month, and I never had problems keeping enough energy to do my standard laboring day job. These mfs act like if they don't get a re-up on their plate of bacon every two hours that they'll get so light-headed they'll faint and crack their head, or they just make weird claims about people needing supplements just to stay alive if you don't eat "normally". It's quite strange. Personally I just found it interesting to experiment with my body to see what it could do.

Its been around 26 hours since I last ate and I feel perfectly fine. Not even really hungry or feeling any discomfort. I feel like I'll be able to get to sleep fine
