    you're body thinks of a weekly basis rather than daily, so there is no such thing as max calories that wold be the same as no calories. I never done more than 24 hr fasting, I tried water fast but broke down at 48 hours and had to eat water melons at 24 hours. I do complete fasts during Ramadan for up to 17 hours, can you please share your 36 hours fast experience and how you combat hunger?
    thanks

    I fast for 24 hours, generally once a week. I return to normal eating after the 24 hour fast, and it works great.

    it wasn't that bad... i drank as much water as i could and if i got too hungry i drank a glass of decaffeneited tea made w splenda so it was still zero calorie but the flavor helped stifle it i was usually good w only two glasses of tea aka 4 cups and up to a gallon of water.. the way i did it was probably actually more than 36 but not 48...i would get up and not eat until i woke up the next day.. whatever timei happened to wake up...usually drop 2 lbs each fast.. but it does't always stay off.... food cravings i would just tell myself to wait that i could have it tomorrow.. tonight i just di 24 hr hour because its been a few months since my last one.. and because i am currently not w my child cuz of the hurricane so i'm overly stressed....

    Not judging at all just wanting to know why do you fast? Benefits you get from it? Wondering cause my friend does Juicing 1 week out of the month so just wanting to know if it's kinda the same thing?

    Fasting and eating anything under 1200 for women slows down your metabolism. Fasting, you pretty much lose only water and the minute you begin eating normally again you will gain what you lost back.

    health benefits plus whatever weight loss i get out of it... supposedly when ur body is not working to digest food it can focus on repairing other parts of ur body that would have taken longer to heal...i can't find the articles i read it from but there is alot of info... some ppl believe in it and some don't....i only do it once a week
