I feel so stupid while fasting and can't communicate as effectively. I guess pushing a bit farther with fasting I will trigger ketosis and give an energy boost though. Fasting is hard. My most extreme fasted states were the result of simply not having any food. I've never fasted for longer than a day intentionally.

Really? My mind is crystal clear when fasting. Granted that's usually about 3 days into the fast, after the glycogen stores are depleted.

I am so thin I'm afraid to go that long without eating. I'm afraid I will become too weak. I've heard of loading up on calories before a fast just to make it easier, but it seems like it will only delay the fasted state. Maybe I will try fasting for longer than a day.

Ah see I had flab to burn when I did 2 week fast. I don't know if i'd risk it if you're already thin. Try get some weight on you before you do, or maybe try a keto diet, I just noticed when burning fat instead of carbs my mind and digestion works better.

Is it ok to fast as a woman? I don’t know if it’s ok for hormones and stuff, what do you think?

Your intuition is correct about this desu. It will likely have a hormonal impact, especially if you're post-menopausal and taking HRT.
