How intermittent fasting can help with food addiction?
By Vera’s Vibe, nutritionist.
If you’ve been bit by a mosquito, you’d better not scratch the bite, because it itches even more if you do.
The same principle works with food. If you eat when you crave something, you’ll receive dopamine, and dopamine is like a drug, you develop resistance: The more you get the more you need.
When you follow the fasting regime, you help your reward centre become more sensitive to dopamine.

Water fasting: drinking more water for fasting
By Dr Sara Diaz, PhD.
Water fasting is a type of fast during which you cannot consume anything besides water. Usually the water fasting period lasts between 24-72 hours.
While over-drinking can increase the risk of water intoxication, also called hyponatremia, this is rare.
Hyponatremia occurs when water and salt lost through sweating is replaced by only water.
This can occur with water fasting when the person is not eating the required food to replenish the salt needed for the body before and after following the fasting period.
That’s why on very long fasting period, it’s recommended to drink water with electrolytes.
