Hey Fast Forward Family,
I have been on OMAD for a few weeks with a few 48’s thrown in there with no problems.
Today I was at 28 (with electrolytes @ least 1 Litre) and started to feel really weak, heart rate super low 40, and a little mental confusion. I re-fed and will start again tomorrow.
Any advice? Anyone else have similar issues?
Thanks so much!!
28 hours in strange symptoms

You made the right call.
I ran into a situation where for 4 consecutive days I couldn’t get a 7-day water fast started. Unusual for me as I had been very good to sticking to my treatment protocol for 2 1/2 months. At first, I thought it was a “matter of willpower” (not unusual for a Type A personality). On the 4th day I realized it was not my willpower but my body screaming for a break from the constant stress.
So I did a ReFeed tor 9 days and then launched into a 40 day water fast which I was able to complete.
Bottom line. Check with how your body feels tomorrow. You may need an additional day or so.

Thanks, @Compdude! I appreciate the reply (from a fellow Type A).
I am looking to lose weight and heal inflammation from Rheumatoid Arthritis.
I’ll keep trying and listening to my body and bump up the quality of nutrition in my re-feeds 
Cheers and Thanks again.
