    Being truthful isn't bashing.

    Intermittent fasting is a style of eating. Not a diet or some weird fad. Here's a link to an IF group here.

    As for water fasting, still LOL.

    Hello!

    I have fasted several different ways both for religious and non-religious reasons. I am currently trying out the 5:2 Fasting Diet.

    When I have fasted for religious reasons, I stopped eating except for water and a very lightly sweetened tea. I fasted for several days. While I did have hunger, I was able to go about my business and had no bad side effects other than hunger. I would do it again.

    Currently, I have finished my first week of the 5:2, where I have followed the instructions to eat normally for 5 days and fast in a special way on two. This fast is a 500 (because I'm a woman) calorie fast, using the calories allowed at whatever time/way you want. For a quick overview (and interesting short video) go to: http://youtu.be/W9Aj6hRYg4A . During this past week, other than hunger on my fast days and a feeling of lightheadedness which lasted about a minute, I had no bad side effects. Since I have lost over a pound and was able to handle the requirements fairly easily I plan to continue. One reason I like this plan is its ease of use. While I do "watch" my intake on non-fast days (staying within my TDEE), there are no diet restrictions so I can fit it into my schedule easily. Fast days I plan out and it's nice that there are only two of them.

    I hope this helps you and good luck on your goals.

    A radical solution to weight loss is not the answer. Patience and a consistent plan of action that works over time is the way to go. Drinking water and not eating food is asinine and illogical.

    Raw?? So you chase your dinner around the yard?? Just wondering......

    Think uncooked, unprocessed, mostly organic foods. Your staples: raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouted grains. Some eat unpasteurized dairy foods, raw eggs, meat, and fish.

    Your food can be cold or even a little bit warm, as long as it doesn’t go above 118 degrees.



    I would probably skip out on the meats though :/ Stick with seeds and nuts for protien
  • No water fast but I've tried intermittent fasting before and I've seen phenomenal results. I came off it to reset my body and I'm at it again. It's probably one of the best things considering I don't like eating that many meals anyway. It hasn't slowed down my metabolism or anything either. Win, win. :smiley:

    Cooking chicken at 118 degrees probably might definitely absolutely will lead to a bad night in the bathroom.

    So how are you planning on getting in sufficient protein? And if you juice, how are you planning on supplementing your fiber?
