Yes that should be fine. I did a 12 hour fast for my SN attempt and felt it was too long, it exacerbated symptoms and caused headache, stomach ache. I'd advise on 8 hour fast and does not matter what you eat prior to it.

You know, there's a certain profoundness to your seemingly off-the-cuff question. It is not the 8-12 hour number that is important, but the fact that the stomach is sufficiently empty for the SN go about its business. Otherwise, it causes throwing up. No catch the bus. Only miss the bus. The way they explain the science, the 8-12 hour number is suggested based on average food consumption practices and metabolizing or digestion time estimation - 3 meals a day, 4 hours to a meal and such. This norm fits most people as most people are normal. Instead, is someone's metabolism is incredibly fast like The Flash's or slow or the meal patterns are peculiar, like someone had a huge brunch or Thanksgiving Day dinner... they got to adapt the 8-12 hour number to fit that. The point is fairly empty stomach is needed for the SN to work. Given I fit one of the descriptors above, I had to in my case stretch the 8-12 hour rule to well past 12-14 hours.

Right - that's another case - how used is someone to long periods between meals. It's not the 8 or 12 or 14 number, but that the SN can act.

I mean... almost by definition... a fast begins after your last ingestion of food and ends whenever you eat something again. So, whenever you last eat, that's when your fast begins... after completing that last meal, of whatever it is.

IF you hadn't just eaten something, then your fast began earlier. I feel like this question kind of answers itself. Eat what you want to eat when you want to eat it... once you stop eating, your fast has begun... if you eat again after that, then your previous fast ends and you're starting a new one at that point.

Semantics doesn't help as often as science does. Someone might have had a very heavy meal that just digests slower. Or, their health level could be dropping making the 8-12 hour rule of thumb inapplicable. It's therefore best to think in terms of what SN requires. That is the lowest common denominator.

Sure you can. You can even drink some electrolytes drink if you feel too weak at the middle. Good luck. Wish you a successful journey.
