This was my first one and I ended it after 5 days. I don't think that's long enough to see any profound changes given my lifestyle in adolescence. I am not trying to stock up on vitimans, minerals and fatten up a bit so I can do a longer one, and if you are curious about some of these alleged benefits too.. I could document a few things before hand and check for results after. For example, I really want to see if an extended fast can really get rid of your scars. I have a huge scar on my head that I have had since my teens, and if I took a photo of that and then it was gone afterwards... that would be insane.
Is there anything specific you are curious about?
Well one of the things I have heard is that it can lead to increased mental clarity - now obviously this is very subjective and could just be placebo, but I think it is interesting nonetheless.

Actually, it was improved cognitive efficiency and boosted memory that was the main inspiration for taking this up. I have been trying to fix my brain for a decade now, as I abused drugs throughout my teens and paid a heavy price for it.
I don't think 5 days was long enough to see any type of effect in this regard, but I have noticed a much more relaxed attitude towards monetary pressures since I have recovered. So that's one thing that I feel I can attribute to the task.
I have put back on half the stone that I lost so far, so when I have recovered the rest, I am going to go for a longer one, and this time I may share the experience with the community, as I know you're not the only one who is curious.
