I fasted for 42 hours and felt like dying. /fit/ told me to use salt.

For shorter fasts you don't need the salt water, anything over 3 days really

You weren't in ketosis first and aren't used to it, I started doing 48s and did omads and skipped meals for a good year. 

My record was 2 weeks it was okay, you can cure prediabetes with fasting, as well as autophagy being cancer cell eaters and there are studies where chemotherapy has less of a damaging effect if you are fasting during it.

Basically fasting is pretty cool animals do it all the time in nature as a means to heal.
