water fasting

Are you taking any supplements with it? I heard that you can get pretty sick doing a just water fast without any vitamins for an extended amount of time.

Taking supplements would not be fasting. And taking supplements during a fast is not necessary. It's helpful to have a lead in diet, for a few days before the fast, with a lot of micro-nutrient rich food.

Or. You could just eat food and not do a pointless water fast.

Ignorance. You don't see the point, but there is one.

Enlighten me, please

No thanks, that sounds like a huge waste of time. If i were to spend an hour completely explaining it, provide peer reviewed medical studies, and show examples of people who have improved their lives through water fasting, it still wouldn't change your opinion. You didn't come in here to be enlightened, and we both know it.

^^nice. Promoting starvation while having an 18 month old child to look after. You should be ashamed of yourself. You have no idea what 'research' the OP had done and did not even deign to get any facts whatsoever, yet you encouraged it. Shame on you.

i. smell. a. troll.

Pretty sure this will result in death :huh:

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.

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.

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

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:

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.

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.

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

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