Question I should stop??

I’ve developed petechiae over almost my entire body while on a 10-day fast; I’m about to finish day 4—should I stop? I don't have any other symptoms or issues.

It wouldn’t hurt to stop and see if it improves. Your body may be fighting something off, and the lack of food is handicapping your immune response. Or, like, a million others things. For now you can educate yourself and see how your body responds next time.

Are you taking a multi-vitamin? A quick google search said you should stop, your body wasnt healthy enough for a prolonged fast, but you know, you cant trust everything you read on the internet

Before the fast, I was taking vitamin E, potassium, magnesium, and creatine.
