24 hour fast problem

(Candace Broadway) #1

Hi, I’ve been keto since Memorial Day with no cheating. I’ve done a 72 hour fast and a few 24 hour fasts without any major problems. I’m fasting today, haven’t eaten since dinner last night. This afternoon I felt a little hungry, ate maybe a1/4 tsp of salt and drank some water and then promptly threw everything up. Anyone else have issues like I described?

Was it the first time you ate this much salt in one setting ? If you’re not used to it, you should ease into it.

No, I eat salt all the time.

No. But I rarely throw up, once every few years when I’m really sick. Maybe you are coming down with a flu?

Salt water is a traditional remedy to induce vomiting.

My wife and I both have got close to vomiting but held it. Can’t identify a causal link. Although it’s less of a problem if I first put it under my tongue and hold it there for about 3 minutes then I drink a glsss of water (makes the water taste very nice)

If I just swallow it without a delay, whether on a spoon or mixed in water or coffee that vomiting feeling seems stronger. But I’m not ruling out that I might just be consuming more on the times I Want to vomit.
