I have read Stan's guide as well as the other pinned posts on SN here. Do I need to fast for 24 hrs or can I just do 8-12? i will do the 2 hr dry fast. TIA

According to Stan's Guide it says:

"Some people have medical conditions that mean fasting has a negative effect on them. Sources say that 8 hours is needed. I would suggest individuals know their own metabolism better than a book. If you know that your stomach feels empty after 4 hours, then I suggest you have a 4 hour fast. Try to avoid eating anything large and heavy. Avoid drinking anything two hours prior to drinking the SN."

So thje recommende faasting time is 4 to 8 hours, though it seems that people usually do 8 hours based on previous threads. Two hours of dry fasting- no food or water- is also part of the plan.

Thank you for the clarification!

The recommended is 8 hours roughly for SN. It's also the recommended period of fasting prior to most surgeries in the country I'm from before being put under general aneasteshia to prevent puking so it sounds pretty reliable, speaking from experience.
