Man I'm hungry. Has anyone survived fasting before? How did you do it? Did you drink lots of water?

    What is the point in fasting? I have never done it but I would imagine drinking a lot of water would help just a bit to curb the hunger! But seriously, what is the benefit of fasting?

    Are you fasting for medical reasons or are you doing IF?

    Drinking water helps or at least it does for me. How long are you fasting for and for what purpose?

    my cousins fasted for like, 6 weeks. basically didn't eat, just juiced. they lost soooo much weight, their skin was horrible, hair looked like garbage, had no energy, and were cranky all the time, and they gained it all back when they went back to eating.

    Definitely not fasting by choice. I like food way too much. I have a medical procedure scheduled for tomorrow that requires it.

    tbh there's no miracle tip, you just have to suck it up and get on with it. If it's only one day you're just gonna have to rely on good old fashioned will power

    I would drink up that broth. It isn't going to fill you up, but it might give you satisfaction for a little while.

    I was actually thinking about doing something insane like chugging a bottle of real lemon juice and posting it on youtube... might as well try and have some fun with this while I'm at it.

    I did the lemon juice chug. That was interesting. I have pics too if anyone is interested. Kroger brand real lemon juice from concentrate. That's the good stuff.
