24 hour fast - hour 20

After a slow 15 minute swim I went to the grocery store.  When checking out the cashier asked me how I was doing.  I said it was a tough day because I was fasting.  We got to talking and she has done three day fasts on various occasions.  She said she takes vitamins to help her get the nutrients she needs and is either working or cleaning to keep her busy during the fast.  When I asked how whether she felt better at the end, she said yes because her body needed those nutrients.  Based on how she looked I have a feeling she normally eats a poor diet which leads to dietary deficiencies.  Her fast allows her body to spend less time digesting food and more absorbing nutrients.  Only about 4 hours to go!
