I'm going to be doing a water fast soon. Any tips and advice is appreciated. I'm doing it more for the detox than anything else.

you'll acquire a whole new mindset, OP. are you aware of that impending inevitability? i'm not sure what your background is, but assuming you're at all conditioned to comfortable modern society, fasting awakens all sorts of things our brains never ever require, and they're mostly sources of power, focus, strength, acuity, lucidity.
but you do need to soldier past some initial pangs of misery, energy etcetera, but then it seems like your body adapts and cruises along in this other mode indefinitely. I'd consider some sort of nutritional strategy, OP. Knocking out conventional food is great, but once you are in your new mode of mind and body, you may find a piece of fruit or something like that will not "break" your fast's self improvement and may actually taste better, may even strike your fasting senses with psychedelic power albeit just an apple, and this will help you continue deeper into your self technology

OP is on the verge of feeling new extents of being human, which puts poorly what will feel quite amazing, finding yourself In kind of post-food mode, your senses will be more sensitive, your thoughts sharper, your judgement more cutting yet harmonic to the world, the real one, the circadian one, not the three meal a day one, great as it is, it completely Mason's away much of us, maybe some of the more interesting parts of us. You get access to almost a console mode of yourself, free from titillation and stimulation, you gain a new vantage above all that via fasting.
Sorry if I'm droning, and I'm sure all this has been said better before, but I just think fasting is a powerful technology and I don't do it anymore because I have babies and can't be stumbling around on the stairs with them and truly I need all the calories I can get. Good luck, OP. I hope you surprise yourself by how much you benefit.

Had to fast for five days on laxatives once ... cleared me right out and pretty much reset my body. I went from feeling like shit, and having horrible bathroom habits to full of energy, and normal bathroom habits. I had IBS due to poor diet, and bacteria buildup, which was causing bad heartburn, and bloating.

I now do it at least once a year. Usually after Christmas holiday season.

Come.back with the results. A few years back I started dating an Olympic swimmer which made me feel like a fatty. I basically went on a fast for 3 months. I still ate and drank some stuff but very little. Handful of nuts here and there, some coffee with sweetner, a couple table spoons of rice once every few days. Lost about 50lbs. Was 6' 220lbs strong fat. Lost an obvious amount of muscle in ny shoulders. I wonder what it would be like with just water.

Add electrolytes into your drinking water. During fasting, your kidneys dump magnesium and sodium. I used to do 1-week water fasts for years, felt like shit - weak, dizzy, heart pounding, couldn't sleep, etc. - but just pushed through because I thought suffering like this was a normal fasting response. I didn't know shit. It was the depletion of electrolytes making my body go out of whack. Now I can do double and triple the periods of fasting without any of my old problems. Fasting is a breeze if you take care of your electrolytes.

This. Also if going for a long fast I'd recommend the periodic intake of nutritional yeast... Simple way to get some vitamins and minerals and give your gut biome something to munch on without consuming a bunch of calories.

The electrolytes are critical though. Keep in mind that if you over-hydrate to compensate for the empty stomach feeling, you'll be washing out your electrolytes at a faster rate. So don't over drink.

You just need to clear out your system and make sure there isnt any "matter" sitting in your gut. Basically eat fruit and veggies a few days before since they come out and digest a little quicker and easier and then take a laxative
