I did fast for 5 days once. Also did 2 and 3 days. The most surprising thing is that you get back the sense of smell.

It’s very curious but fasting improves your smell a lot and I am not the only one to observe this phenomenon.

Maybe it’s an old biological mechanism to make it easier to find food? In any case it’s pretty impressive.

I've observed this too

Seems possible it is inflammation related
