I don't water fast as hydration is really important for good health and prolonged fasts make it really easy to get dangerously dehydrated.
How is it for me? Often the 24 hr fasts are the most difficult for me as a lot of hunger signals persist for me during that time, generally after that point I am all gravey.
For the quarterly and yearly fasts I try and line these up with time off from work because I like to do a lot of reflection and creation during these times for me. The reflection is usually pretty good, creation... well... results have varied.
Gotcha gotcha, I saw all the papers seemed on topic but didn't see the specific "Political Economy Perspectives on the Chinese Economy" which I mistakenly thought was tha paper title.
seems like artifacting to me... but things are getting harder and hardware to te these days.
