Four days.

Zero food.

Only water and minerals.

That was my experiment.

But let me be clear.

I did not jump into it blindly.

For months, I had been practicing 16/8 keto fasting.

Sixteen hours with no food.

Eight hours where I ate clean, mostly low-carb.

On top of that, I had built a rhythm of OMAD (one meal a day) three times per week.

This preparation mattered.

It trained my body to burn fat instead of sugar.

It taught me how to go long hours without food.

It made hunger feel like an old friend I no longer feared.

So when I began my 96-hour fast, I never really felt hungry.

Not once.

What I did feel was occasional dizziness.

Moments when I had to slow down, take a breath, and let my body adjust.

But hunger?

That never came.

Why?

Because fasting is a skill.

You can train it.

And training it prepared me for one of the most eye-opening experiences of my entrepreneurial journey.

Day One was surprisingly easy.

My body had done this many times before with OMAD and keto.

It felt like a normal fasting day.

The only difference was that I didn’t break it in the evening.

My body expected food.

I didn’t give it.

But instead of panic, I felt calm.

The earlier preparation had made fasting natural.

My body knew how to switch into fat-burning mode.

By the evening, I wasn’t thinking about food.

I was thinking about work.

My energy was steady.

My focus was clear.

The real shift happened after Day Two.

Some people describe fasting as a battle with hunger.

But if you prepare with keto and OMAD, the switch into ketosis is smooth.

My brain started running on ketones, the clean fuel your liver makes from fat.

And that fuel changed everything.

I felt lighter.

My mind was sharper.

Instead of food cravings, I had long stretches of calm clarity.

The dizziness?

It came in waves.

Usually when I stood up too fast or pushed my body without enough minerals.

But with Magnesium, Potassium, and Sodium, I stabilized quickly.

This clarity is not imagined.

It is backed by science.

When your body is in ketosis, your brain receives steady fuel.

No spikes.

No crashes.

Just smooth energy.

That is why I now see fasting as a productivity tool, not just a health hack.

Here’s what research confirms about prolonged fasting:

When I compare it to how I worked before fasting, the difference is night and day.

Here’s where it gets interesting.

Fasting is not only about health.

It is about leadership and performance.

Entrepreneurs constantly battle distractions.

Shiny new tools.

Unnecessary tasks.

Emotional decisions.

Fasting trains the exact opposite.

Focus. Clarity. Control.

When you prove to yourself that you can go 96 hours without food, you remind yourself that you are in charge of your desires.

Not the other way around.

And that same discipline flows into business.

During my fast, I realized how much time food takes up.

Without it, I had hours back.

I filled them with deep work.

Writing. Journaling. Big-picture thinking.

That’s why fasting is a business accelerator.

Here are the biggest takeaways:

Not everyone should start with 96 hours.

If you are new to fasting, begin with 16/8.

Then add OMAD a few times per week.

Build gradually.

Think of fasting like strength training.

You do not start with the heaviest weight.

You start small and increase over time.

If you are already familiar with keto or OMAD, then yes, you can explore longer fasts.

But always listen to your body.

Always stay hydrated.

And always use minerals.

When I ended my 96-hour fast, my first meal was delicious.

But the real reward was not the food.

It was the confidence.

The confidence of knowing that I can control my body.

That I can step out of routine.

That I can lead myself through discomfort.

That confidence is what entrepreneurs need most.

Because building wealth and scaling businesses is about mindset.

Fasting reminded me of this truth.
