    That's really not a healthy or sustainable way to lose weight.

    Why the HECK would you do that?

    For last 15days I was on intermittent fast.... Plus it was a low key weekend with no activity.... That's how I made up my mind to try 36hours water fast.... It was smooth as butter... No fatigue just a Lil hunger pangs that's it.... Hoping for a detox...

    36 hours is not a long enough time to worry about breaking fast, but I would keep it to liquids for the first couple of hours, preferably some kind of fresh vegetable juice (I like carrot or tomato juice for that). Fasting this long is not really that necessary though, but some people enjoy it. As long as you don't go overboard fasting for longer periods you should be fine.

    You will have just lost water weight, and will regain it all back unless you have a healthy long-term strategy for eating the foods you like within your calorie limit.

    "Detoxing" is pseudoscience.

    Well done for asking questions here. The forum Community can be very helpful.

    Is he fasting for weight loss or for some other reason. It's a little mysterious. Ah "detox", never mind.

    He seems to be fasting for 'detox' ... I can't even find the strength within to tackle this nonsense one one more time...

    Something small - it doesn't matter what it is as long as it's only a few hundred calories. Four or five hours after that I can eat a full meal without any issue.

    I make sure I break a fast with protein powder or any other source of complete protein.

    Hello .. Congrats on finishing your fast. I know that fasting is very therapeutic. Most people "do not get it". Anyway, I find that yogurt is a very good fast-breaker.

    Let me guess, me sharing the scientifically proven and medically accepted fact that a water fast does not detox your body and that a functioning liver and kidneys do all the "detoxing" your body needs means I'm one of the people that "do not get it"?

    If you want to do a water fast (or any other fast) to make your self feel better mentally, go for it, but it will not cause a detoxing of your body. You can't change a scientific fact by merely wanting a different result.

    And drop the mic.

    THIS!
