What is water fasting?

Water fasting is unhealthy.

I know some follow the 5:2 intermittent fasting, and that's different. They eat food.

Resurrecting a thread asking for a water fasting buddy............OMG! Please stop and think before you do this. If you want to send me a private message, I can tell you all about unhealthy eating habits of a teenager that still haunt my sister to this day as she will never have children because her ED as a teenager. I know, this will NEVER happen to you, right? Think! Research what it takes to be healthy!!

No......just no!! :noway:

Don't treat MFP like it's Tumblr.

As a former anorexic, I probably understand you more than others who respond to this, but I think (almost) everyone want this website to promote health. It's better to ask somewhere else.

I'm asking because I'm genuinely curious...

Your statement about everyone wants this website to promote health... Do you not want that?
It's better to ask elsewhere... So go find advice on unhealthy water fasts elsewhere?

You can't tell a disordered person to stop with their behaviour, so why would I even bother? It always pisses me off when someone tells a sick person to "stop being sick". But her post was quite promoting, that's why I think she shouldn't have posted it (it can be triggering to others.

Of course, the best thing would be to "just eat healthy", but that's not how or brain works.
