Ovarian "shrinkage": Ovaries only shrink post menopause and not during fasting.

Depends: Ovaries do not shrink due to fasting. Why do you want fast for 5 straight days? If you are trying to lose weight increasing physical activity and reducing intake on a regular basis are preferable. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine
