> I stopped being ultra sweaty after a 20 day water-only fast, never to be sweaty again

Was that the goal of the fast? And if yes, where did you learn that this works?

No goal. I lost my appetite, and I don’t eat unless I have appetite.

Took about 20 days for it to come back. Actually felt hunger at that point, which is a distinct feeling from appetite - one rarely felt in the 1st world)
