My advice...don't do it. Please. This woman did, and I would not call her results successful.

I am starting a water fast today and was wondering if anyone has ever tried one....what kid of success anyone has had, or any advice you could give me....anything helps! Thank you

My only tips would be that when the voices come, don't listen to them they are not real0 -
she lost 42 pounds though, @ a pound a day....i think that is successful...if i do 15 days i should be about where i want to be and then wean myself slowly back to a healthy diet...thats what i am thinking anyway
And the vision problems... I freaked out when she said that she felt like the light of the computer was blinding her.. I mean.. come on.!!
And I want to bet how long she managed to keep the 42 pounds lost.. And in Christmas? Yeah, I don't think so.0 -
Oh, by the way, be careful not to sneeze after day 3. Or laugh too hard.0

Another day - another water fast post
You recognize that a binge is a problem - but don't see that going in the complete opposite direction (aka starving yourself) isn't a problem?0 -

Water-fasting does NOT equal starvation. But it does equal a debate on MFP!0

You're really going to defend the eating disorder behavior the OP is discussing? :noway:
She read the story of the woman who nearly killed herself and called it a success. She wants to mimic that horror show.
You're irresponsible for backing her up, as though this is safe or sane.
OP, get help, sincerely, you are going to hurt or kill yourself if you keep this up.0 -
Considering this is a place to encourage people to eat right and execise I don't think anyone here will give you good advice on water fasting, not anyone in their right mind anyways
The only thing a fast will do is force your body to tap it's muscle mass for energy, of course you'll lose weight, good luck keeping it off once you start eating again.
Honestly it's nuts and no one should do it
Just eat at a deficite and exercise, pretty simple IMO
Sorry if I come up as rude but these water fasting threads are just silly0 -

Taking nothing but water for a period of time, got it. Really complicated.0 -

This woman may have lost 42 pounds, but she stopped posting in her journal at day 40. She said she was going to keep posting until day 61 as she juiced and then did the "Daniel fast." She never posted again, probably because she binged and gained the weight back.0 -
I like to drink my water fast.0

Still waiting on a thread that will look something like :
