Anyone do weekly 24hr fasts?

 Does anyone do regular weekly 24 hour fasts? I just finished my first 24 hour fast.  I like to mix up my eating times a bit and do 16:8 IF often.  I've found by upping my fat to 80% and doing IF I can usually break through plateaus.   

My typical GKI is right around 3, varying from about 2.95 to 3.1.  Right before I did the 24 hour fast my GKI was 3.02.  I tested at the end of the 24 hours, prior to eating, and my GKI was 1.94.    I've read about some potential health benefits of going to lower GKI's a few times per year.  The 24 hours was actually much easier than I anticipated.  I never had any serious hunger pangs, was never light headed, etc.   The next time I may try 48 hours and see if I can get close to a GKI of 1.

I'd be curious to hear from anyone that does regular 24 hour fasts, whether weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.  At this point I think I'll probably do a 24 hour fast at least every quarter or something.  For those that have done it multiple times I'd enjoy hearing your opinions and what positive or negative effects you've had.
