Default questions..

Hi there Mighty.

This is my first post here and to be honest, it was reading eagerly through your posts on fasting that has prompted me to join the forum.

I must say, your posts are super inspriational.

Do you mind if I ask a few questions? I'm totally new to real fasting.. I have used intermittent fasting but only ever for 18 hours max.. so I really am new to it all.

Firstly, how do you explain it to worried loved ones? If I were to declare I was to fast, the commupance that I would receive would be huge!!

Secondly, I usually find that the thing that makes me break my intermittent fast is a terrible feeling mid afternoon, of being drunk. LIke, my words start to slur and my thinking slows. I feel wobbly on my feet... Do you not experience any of these feelings, or do they dissipate after the first day or two?

Thirdly, sholud one only consume water on a fast? What about herbal teas??

I would love to hear your opinions and experiences with regards to these questions.
