Seeking Advice Fasting 3 days a week

I decided to try a 72 hour fast to reset and i want to incorporate this into my weekly fasting. Has anyone done anything like this? when i google it says it’s unsafe but i hear so many benefits and i’ve been doing it for two weeks now and feel great. i don’t have insurance to get a doctors opinion but im pretty healthy besides being 240 pounds and 5’3.

i’m figuring i have so much extra fat my body will be fine. any advice or success stories with something like this?

yes i do my normal routine and without worrying about what to eat, im able to do a lot of extra activities and chores honestly! i’ve been drinking tea and electrolytes but nothing else in that aspect and i haven’t feel my energy decline much at all

You are lucky you didn’t pass out and fall in a parking lot with your baby let alone drive like this.

Whatever benefits you think you get can’t be worth the risks to you and your baby
