@Jasey25 Okay, I will !0

Please explain?
Sounds like a very bad idea, but I'll hold off judgement until I know what you're actually doing?0 -
What does it entail?0

Not a big fan of fasting but what kind of teas will you be drinking? I might be interested. I'm at the hospital and there's nothing healthy here so fasting sounds like my best option at the moment.0

I'm doing a fast with juice on tuesday but I'm not sure I could manage to just drink tea all day...even if I am a tea fanatic!0

I'm in. As long as "tea fast" means - drinking a tea fast before I eat all my meals. That's it, right?0

I was thinking the same thing. Drinking tea all day... I don't have my juicer with me so I might just have to lol. Screw it I'm in!0 -
A tea fast to me is drinking nothing but tea all day, for a few days. I usually drink lipton green tea and organic white tea for the fast.0

Not Exactly, but If you wanted you can drink tea before all of your meals, I would recommend green tea0

Why would you do this?0 -
why is this under nutrition? not nutritional at all :huh:0
-
Do you do this fast regularly? for religious reasons?.....I hope that would be the only reason. Because drinking a lot of tea would be great but without any other nutrient source for 3 days- thats havoc on your body.0

Ima get on this tea fast!0

@Phaendra2013 I do this because I love fasting, and it is a great thing for your body, as long as you don't do it for long periods of time. It is a great cleanse for your body as the green tea contains many antioxidants, and it helps boost your metabolism0

I don't agree with this either but it is you're own choice.
I follow somebody on tumblr who is doing a juice diet (juicing veg down etc) in order to lose weight fast, I don't agree with this either. If you're not losing weight by eating a normal diet, it's not for me.0 -
Be careful. By not eating for days, you put yout bodu into starvation mode, so the things you begin to eat when you are done your body will hold onto like glue.
This is not a smart idea..... Just saying.... Try one that at least allows fruit and veggies... at least this way your body still has to metabolise something!
Be safe!!0 -
@Chinadorian It may seem that it can do some serious damage to your body, but in my experience it feels okay, and I honestly don't get pangs of hunger at all. Like I said it can only do damage, if you do it for long periods of time0

My baby is in the hospital. My son. And fasting is not a bad thing but I'm really not in the mood to debate this topic. I actually think it's a very healthy habit to fast once in a while to cleanse the body. It's debatable and controversial no doubt about it.0 -

Thank you for your concern, I appreciate it, but I assure you that I will be fine. This isn't the first time I have done this0 -

what is a "few" days?
one day, as in 24 hours, would be fine.
4 days would be damaging and just whack.0 -
Sounds awesome, where can I buy Bacon Tea?0

Ah, okay then. Hope he gets to go home soon. I actually fast routinely, but I cannot imagine doing it for more than one day or while dealing with that kind of stuff. Whatever works for you.0 -
It is funny how people chime in with the starvation mode concern and the unhealthyness of fasting. I think being obese or overweight on a daily basis exceeds the risk of periodic daily fasting. In addition, I can imagine a lot of people are against this periodic fasting due to the actual inability and lack of self control to do a challenge like this. In addition, I am not a doctor but I don't think 96 hours of fasting is going to be tradgic to ones metabolism or their long term health. At least they are staying hydrated.0

I've honestly never done a tea fast. I've done a raw juice fast and had great results + tons of energy. If for some reason I feel like I can't handle it I will have some raw fruits. But it's only until Thursday so it ain't no thing. Jesus Christ and other persons have done it for about 40 days without dying.0 -
Ghandi used to fast a lot as well. Went for 21 days on a hunger strike and didn't die so I think it's pretty safe. As long as we don't exercise while doing it.0
