you'll need:

1 package of ramen noodles, throw away the seasoning

1 package of Khao soi seasoning https://www.amazon.com/Lobo-Brand-Thai-Kao-Seasoning/dp/B000ESIDBQ

freeze dried shallots and cilanto (Litehouse brand)

chili flakes

crushed peanuts

dehydrated lime juice (optional) https://www.amazon.com/True-Citrus-Lime-Shaker-2pk/dp/B01F2PKK8E/

​

To make:

Crumble a few noodles and reserve, cook the rest in boiling water, pour off a bit of the water and add the chicken, when warm, mix in the Khoi soi seasoning and coconut milk/cream powder, stir to combine. Add freeze dried shallots and cilanto and let them rehydrate, top with crumbled noodle bits, chili flakes to taste and some crushed peanuts, add a touch of dehydrated lime juice. Enjoy.

It's very important to maintain your electrolyte balance during extended fasts. Here's what happens to runners who don't maintain that balance. They aren't fasting, but they exemplify what happens when you drink a ton of water and don't salt up.

You naturally expel electrolytes via sweat (you should be exercising while fasting) and urine. During longer fasts (2 days+), I allow myself 0.5 tablespoons of salty vegetable broth concentrate (mixed into a hot cup of water) and a pinch of magnesium citrate. I could supplement with potassium as well, since that's an electrolyte, but I just haven't gotten around to buying it in bulk. Also apparently its very easy to overdose on it, so I'm in no rush.

Technically the broth is breaking the fast, but it has so few calories (5? 10?) that honestly, it shouldn't matter. You're probably getting calories from dead skin cells sloughing off your inner mouth/tongue anyway - the broth is no big deal. If you google around, you'll see that other people use bone broth. Example 1. I prefer vegetable broth - ymmv.

No troll, I also sprinkle a little lime salt directly into my mouth a couple of times a day. Probably around like 0.5 grams each time, just a very light dusting. Gives the taste buds a little something to get excited about aside from carbonated water.

As long as you don't go over the salt/potassium/magnesium RDA, you should be fine. I think I'm personally around 50% of salt, 0% K, and 25% magnesium daily, but I haven't measured ¯\(ツ)/¯

Some history: I went on a 7 day water only fast, and on day 4 I was feeling utterly mentally spaced. Like, I wasn't in my own body, and everything was a slog. Pretty bad state to be in as a programmer. I googled around, discovered the salt thing, had a bit, and within the hour I was back to being mentally there. Salt's important!
