There are members on here who do a 36 hour fast on liquids only. I've never tried it myself but it seems to suit some people .If you search the many threads you will find further information.
'Straight' 5:2 is my WOL and I am now maintaining, using occasional fasts when the need arises. This forum has been invaluable to me and it is a happy and informative place to hang out, so use it often!

That's interesting @lizbean, for me coffee is essential to get me through the fasting time, quelling any hunger and perking me up. I do have it black though...don't know if that makes a difference.
I'm back on the good wagon, no coffee for me works.
Yes, as the others have said, 36 hours liquid only is possible. That's about the limit for what we recommend as safe without a doctor's supervision.
@Lizbean - I wonder if you've hit on one of the reasons I have so much trouble with carbs. I don't think I've ever gone a day without coffee unless I was very ill -- so it's been a few years. Does black tea have the same effect on you? I have finally found some black tea that I enjoy without milk and sugar. Maybe I should experiment with this no-coffee thing you speak of.
Thanks!
