Writing that reply made me think about starting keto again.
good times, but it's hard to start and hard to stick with it when you have to travel, go somewhere, etc.

i’m used to 18h fasting so this is “just” a 6h stretch but so far so good! 😊

hmm, I did a couple 24 hour fasts on the keto diet and a 15 hour fast every day for 2 months.
But I was prepared.
In general, I liked keto very much, but the smell of breath was not pleasant. 

Depends on you approach, not always fasting gives some results, maybe you need an enema or different chemistry?) And there are such methods.

Maybe you should consult an AI

you can just drink more water.)

Watch a movie, paint whatever gets you in a flow state. 

I find 24 hour fasting easier if starting the day before by skipping dinner and during the work week

Distract myself, that is hard BUT great point.

Drink water or bullion if feeling dizzy (stock cube dissolved in water).

Distract yourself. Go on a walk far away from any cafes (I’ve gone hiking fasting. It’s possible. Take it slow and have liquids with you)

thanks for this. These are conflicting researches though. Previous researches were more like eating and getting nutrients helps boost the brain and focus so fasting offering the same benefits just confuses me

Here's some:

Improved insulin sensitivity: fasting gives your body a break from constantly processing glucose, which can help lower blood sugar levels and improve how your body responds to insulin.

Cellular cleanup: after about 16–24 hours without food, your body ramps up autophagy, a process where cells remove damaged components, potentially reducing inflammation and improving longevity.

Mental clarity and focus: many people report increased focus and mental sharpness during longer fasts, possibly due to stable energy from ketones and the absence of food-related blood sugar swings.

Don't eat anything and it should work out

Drink water (or are you also not consuming any liquids?)

assuming you’re not doing a dry fast: stay hydrated, pinch of salt if not full-on electrolyte powder in your water; black coffee helps curb hunger; stay occupied mentally as much as you can

Water with salt. Black coffee. You are ok with that.

Maintein you busy, go to sleep earlier if needed. 

Pro tip: wash your teeth with a high mint flavor. Fresher your mouth, less willing to eat.
