Before starting intermittent fasting I decided to try out a 24 hour fast, just to see how it would feel, and I felt abysmal and ravenous by the end. But after eventually starting intermittent fasting (which I ended up doing for at least 3-4 years), I had a few times where I would casually fast for nearly two days just by skipping my window one day, and it was not especially difficult.
Our bodies are so absurdly adaptive to just about anything we can throw at them. And so it makes sense, in some weird way, that if you're going to do something - doing it to an extreme degree can make things easier than going half way, since you optimize for the adaptive response from your body.
