Part 3/7:
As Quentin documented his experience, he illustrated the psychological trials one faces during fasting. At the 24-hour mark, craving certain foods became a reality, fueled by ghrelin—a hormone that triggers hunger. He dispelled the myth that fasting induces "starvation mode," explaining instead that it is a mindful endeavor where cravings come in waves.
With light-hearted moments, he shared his daily activities—like golfing with a friend, albeit unsuccessfully. By the end of the first day, Quentin reported a weight of 193.2 pounds, a minor loss of about 1.6 pounds, revealing the initial impact of water fasting.
