    Yes you read it correctly if you don't agree with fasting than just don't comment this page is for people who are curious and might want to give it ago not for people to say its wrong if its so wrong why can doctors recommend the diet to people and monitor people they would tell you not to not help you with the fast j suggest anyone who doesn't no about fasts looks them up and does there research Jesus done a 40 day fast Ghandi done a 21 day fast

    Is there anyone that can check in on you daily and take care of your son?

    No...it's an open forum so we have every right to comments and its actually against the rules to promote unsafe diet practices.

    BTW - some of Ghandi's followers died doing fasts. Plus, you are not Jesus, and you mentioned doing a 52 day fast.

    Your logic and excuses are very telling.

    Water fasting... please. I do vodka fasting. Much better results.


    ^ in sufficient quantities it's a natural purgative.

    I only do it when I'm doing a cut. Or bored. Or lonely.

    I usually cry during extended vodka fasts too, it helps flush out the toxins in my life.

    My best friend is a personal trainer and is joining the marines he said doing a fast is fine i have an 18 month old son and he says its fine as long as i font over do it if anyone wants to try a fast j suggest a juice fast first before doing a water fast so you get an idea of how hard it is every individual has different experience with fasting look it up and check out videos on youtube x

    Its ridiculous and irresponsible.

    Oh my god. Please don't listen to your marine buddy. Seriously. He has no idea what he is talking about. You need to talk to a doctor and a registered dietitian before you even attempt something like this. Bad. Idea.

    This ^

    I am studying to become a personal trainer and nothing says anything about fasting (water/juice/etc.) being a good thing.

    Long term extreme fasts are only ever safe if your regularly being monitored by a doctor . So consult one before you start otherwise, you know, death is a likely outcome.

    Lol, but jesus had god in his corner.:laugh: And have you ever seen pictures of Ghandi? I believe in fasting, but not for long periods of time. Long fasts slow metabolic rate significantly and catabolize lean tissue.

    So basically you are hoping to find people who are also starving themselves.

    Starting to wonder if this is the new pro-ana peeps ad method for finding each other. :grumble:

    Oh, so now you are suddenly supervised by a doctor, and not just by your marine friend.. Convenient.

    1. Just because a lot of people do fasts does not mean it's a good thing.

    2. If a doctor has approved a 52 day water fast......drop him immediately.

    3. Pretty sure this is the definition of starvation.

    4. The fact that you even need to make sure someone is around to help out suggests that this isn't healthy


    Also if you google water fast, this is what pops up on the very top of the first page.

    water fast
    Web definitions
    Water fasting is a type of fasting in which the practitioner consumes only water. One may water fast for a variety of reasons, including medical and religious requirements. Such fasting for prolonged periods poses significant health risks.

    Oh dear lord. Where to even start?

    Forget it,...one question only,...

    Weekly doctor appointments? Really? As in once every 7 days? For how long now and for how long going forward? Seems odd to say the least. If true, can you add me to your health plan? Thanks.

    Holy crap did I stumble into a pro-ana site?!?!

    You should not be "water fasting" for weight loss.

    Excuse me? I fast 40 hours 3 times a week on nothing but water.


    Does that make me ana now?

    Why are you against just reducing your cals and doing it the normal way though?

    I fast between 42-70 hours a week on a no food no water fast...I call it the Sleeping Method.

    But you aren't trying to do a 24/7 water fast for 52 days straight. Just walking a marathon everyday at speeds that break world records, right?

    Didn't you know that weight loss is supposed to be as complicated and uncomfortable as possible?

    Putting aside the fact that water fasting over a period of 52 days is just insane, fasting should never be about weight loss. Usually, people fast to clean their bodies or for spiritual/religious reasons. Yes, you will lose weight but that is just a side effect not the main goal. There is a reason why fasting cures are supervised and should include (almost) daily checks on health, etc.

    Everyone should be aware that it cannot be healthy to consume just water for 52 days. (And green tea because of the coffeine? What about some nutrients so you won't be that tired anymore?)
