@MrsHVaughn, I've eaten raw for a week. A lot of people out there live on raw or mostly raw diets. I don't think I could do it long term, but I really enjoyed a raw detox diet for the week. It was tough but I maintain that it reset my system, shrank my appetite and allowed me to get plenty of nutrients in. I also took an iron supplement during that time and ate lots of seeds and nuts. Other than that, lots of fruits and veggies! If you're thinking of a cleanse or a fast, a raw diet is much healthier and more sustainable than just water. Best of luck to you!0

years ago several of us nurses did the juice fasting aka cleansing.
Felt like we all had the flu the 1st 2 days , but after day 5 felt amazing.
Saddest thing being able to drink our meals was the 1st time we had nourishment at work.
I changed from ER nursing to rehab care and actually get a 30 min lunch break now.
Easier to make better eating choices.
12-16 hour shifts without time to pee or eat ..makes you grab the sweets a family member or rep sent etc etc

Thank you. Im leaning toward raw or intermittent at the moment. I feel terrible sluggish and would love a sort of cleanse. Im much to active to do juice or water at the moment. I work go to school and take care of my tornado of a one year old boy lol0 -

Intermittent fasting is a style of eating. Not a diet or some weird fad. Here's a link to an IF group here.

Hello!
I have fasted several different ways both for religious and non-religious reasons. I am currently trying out the 5:2 Fasting Diet.
When I have fasted for religious reasons, I stopped eating except for water and a very lightly sweetened tea. I fasted for several days. While I did have hunger, I was able to go about my business and had no bad side effects other than hunger. I would do it again.
Currently, I have finished my first week of the 5:2, where I have followed the instructions to eat normally for 5 days and fast in a special way on two. This fast is a 500 (because I'm a woman) calorie fast, using the calories allowed at whatever time/way you want. For a quick overview (and interesting short video) go to:
http://youtu.be/W9Aj6hRYg4A . During this past week, other than hunger on my fast days and a feeling of lightheadedness which lasted about a minute, I had no bad side effects. Since I have lost over a pound and was able to handle the requirements fairly easily I plan to continue. One reason I like this plan is its ease of use. While I do "watch" my intake on non-fast days (staying within my TDEE), there are no diet restrictions so I can fit it into my schedule easily. Fast days I plan out and it's nice that there are only two of them.
I hope this helps you and good luck on your goals.0 -

A radical solution to weight loss is not the answer. Patience and a consistent plan of action that works over time is the way to go. Drinking water and not eating food is asinine and illogical.0 -
Raw?? So you chase your dinner around the yard?? Just wondering......0
