I finished a 48 hour fast from food. On day 2 I wasn't uncomfortably hungry at all, I worked hard in the sun and after a while got very weak and craved salt and water, I never completely regained my strength or energy after that. My sense of smell felt way stronger and when I finally did break my fast the flavors were extremely intense, beyond all doubt my sense of taste was extremely enhanced. Knowing I can handle this makes me feel better about my physical and mental health during a fast. I honestly would recommend some people to try it(if your Dr advises it) to see that it's not that bad. From a prepping perspective I would be very wary of the man who hasn't eaten in 2 days, he's gonna be tired, desperate, and his sense of smell and taste will be extremely sharp, don't turn your back on the hungry man.
