Method Fasting for SN Method

[bart404]

My plan is to wake up around 12:00pm and do a stat dose shortly there after.

This means I would be fasted for 12hrs or so.... is this okay? is it too long? is there such thing as too long?

i'm not an expert, but i'm pretty sure the fasting is for faster absorption. having food in your stomach could be unpredictable. i don't think there's a "too long", but i could be wrong

Yeah, it sounds like fasting is only about absorbing the SN as quickly as possible. In the guide I read that the important thing is that your stomach is empty, so if you know it's empty after 4 hours, then you only need a 4 hour fast. But the stat protocol recommends 8, probably just to be totally sure your stomach is empty. I don't know that there's a problem with longer fasts, unless you feel like hunger would get in the way of your plan. Personally (on the day I'm ready) I'm planning to eat a light breakfast and lunch, no dinner (no food after 4pm), and take SN at midnight.

I think also to reduce vomiting.
