Fasting for Sn

[intheenditdsntmatr]

Is it worth doing a 24hr fast or should I just do a 8 hr fast?

24hr fast is better but 8hr would probably work too. I've seen two slightly different methods for sn and one says 24hrs and the other says something like several hours. I think the chance of throwing up would be less after 24hrs but that's just my guess.

24 h isnt any better than 8 h for the average person with no GI issues. The point of fasting is to ensure your stomach is empty so the SN can be absorbed/digested faster and to reduce vomiting.

I think I will do 8 hrs of fasting as fasting for 24 hours would probably make me to faint.

I have a fainting disorder and I am worried about the fasting part of this. Ideally I would also try for 24 hours. But I think 12 is what I am ultimately going to attempt. Good news is that my heart will probably give out quicker and I'll go unconscious much faster.

I love food too much. 8 hours sounds preferable for me.

8 hours is enough. A 24 hour fast may even cause further difficulties because such a long fast can cause nausea due to low blood glucose etc.
