Water fasting?

MissCreepyLovestruck

Have any of you gone on an extended water fast? (Over 24 hours) If so, how did it go for you? I am contemplating going on a 7 day fast under a doctors supervision. Any thoughts on the matter are welcome and appreciated!

that's a conversation for your doctor then.

MFP wont support potentially unhealthy weight loss strategies, its against the Ts and Cs

^^^ Yep, ask your doctor.

I wonder how many doctors would think this is a good idea? Hopefully none.

What is the reasoning behind this (before this thread gets locked.)

Does this doctor work in a strip mall or out of van?

Seriously though, if your doctor is on board with this for weight loss you might consider getting a new doctor.
