In my desperate rash youth while trying to lose 5 pounds I went on a 5 day water fast. Drank a gallon of water a day and ate absolutely no food. Then I took one bite of salad from my son's dinner plate ... and went into a feeding frenzy. I couldn't go back on the water fast ever again, not that I didn't try again, I just could not do it.0

I try to do intermittent. I don't eat until 10 am and I quit eating a 6 pm.0

I've done a water only fast...for religious reasons. IF is a real thing and a way of eating and a way of life for many people. I'm not sure what kind of health benefits you think you would get with a water fast...I was personally just hungry...and I found a new spiritual path that didn't require such nonsense.0

lol oh hushyes and don't forget garcinia cambogia!
Im not doing one. I have in the past and have done tons of reading on it. I just am curious as to what this community thinks.
As of now Im just doing it the good ol fashion way
But in my readings the benifits of a longer term water fast are absolutely mind blowing.

Intermittent fasting is seriously the greatest diet I have ever tried, and it's the only one that has gotten amazing results for me! After starting it, it was the leanest I had ever been

I'd also be interested in reading these peer-reviewed, science journal readings.

I do it when I'm having digestive trouble. I have autoimmune issues and problems with inflammation and sometimes when my digestive system is in pain I'll stick to liquids for a day or two until things settle down a bit. I rarely do just water, though - usually juice, chicken broth, sometimes my vegan protein powder if I think I can handle it. I get dizzy and cranky without at least some calories in my day (unless I'm literally in bed with a stomach bug), but if you've got a stronger constitution then water only might work. I've never done it as a weight-loss method, though - only to help a sore tummy.0

I do intermittent fasting so I drink only non caloric beverages all day and eat all of my calories from 5 pm to 9 pm. But an only water diet for days at a time? No thanks!0

Ok seriously, Your being rude and acting like im an idiot.
I am very far from stupid and if you want to know more about it take the time and look it up. Im curious about other peoples experiences . Thats why I made this post. Not to belittle others for diffrent beliefs before doing your own research.-3 -

@MrsHVaughn, I've eaten raw for a week. A lot of people out there live on raw or mostly raw diets. I don't think I could do it long term, but I really enjoyed a raw detox diet for the week. It was tough but I maintain that it reset my system, shrank my appetite and allowed me to get plenty of nutrients in. I also took an iron supplement during that time and ate lots of seeds and nuts. Other than that, lots of fruits and veggies! If you're thinking of a cleanse or a fast, a raw diet is much healthier and more sustainable than just water. Best of luck to you!0

years ago several of us nurses did the juice fasting aka cleansing.
Felt like we all had the flu the 1st 2 days , but after day 5 felt amazing.
Saddest thing being able to drink our meals was the 1st time we had nourishment at work.
I changed from ER nursing to rehab care and actually get a 30 min lunch break now.
Easier to make better eating choices.
12-16 hour shifts without time to pee or eat ..makes you grab the sweets a family member or rep sent etc etc

Thank you. Im leaning toward raw or intermittent at the moment. I feel terrible sluggish and would love a sort of cleanse. Im much to active to do juice or water at the moment. I work go to school and take care of my tornado of a one year old boy lol0 -
