Fasting five days yields mixed findings on hunger and vigor
A detailed report from a University of Chicago study describes five days of voluntary starvation with a focus on hunger contractions measured by a balloon manometer. Results show hunger peaks early, then appetite and mood shift, with participants noting increased vigor after refeeding and a belief that mild, periodic starvation may extend life, while dismissing heroic martyrdom claims of hunger strikes.
