How long to leave between 72hour water fasts

Does anyone have any advice on how long we should we leave between 72hour water fasts? Is it okay to just break the fast for 24hours and go back into another 72hour water fast? Would that mess with your metabolism or digestive system? Can't really find anything online?

I've done rolling 72's (one after the other) for about 6 weeks, but couldn't stick it for much longer than that as I don't have the willpower. I lost about 25lbs though. It doesn't do any harm to do it for a short time.
