I was thinking about going on a water-only fast and see how long I can last, which I doubt will be long as I like food . Longest ive managed is 3 days but I'd like to try 5-7 days.
I hear its good for getting rid of toxins in the body.

Hey I was only seeing if anyone had done it, its not stupid!

[darwin dali]

Yeah, I've done a waiter fast. Oh wait...

[What's Burning?]

one day, colonoscopy, the fast was worse than the procedure... well the fast and the umpteen laxatives.

you're crazy doing that to your body unnecessarily.

Think it might be dangerous to waterfast for more than 3 days.

Since your Glucose levels will drop, which could cause health risks for your heart and brain.

Might get rid of toxins but your also depriving your body of essiential vitiamins, so i'd very much doubt the effect is entirely positive.

Sorry but yes it is stupid and there are more sensible options to choose from considering what your personal goals are. What is your reasoning or purpose for such a fast ie starvation program? If you think your having shitty days now just try only drinking water for a week and judge your physical and mental progress .

As your friend I beg you to not try this and to become more educated about nutrition and find a nutritional style that suits your own bodys physiology and needs. Once you find what works best for YOU you will have much 'better' days in every aspect.

Ask someone buried alive under rubble in Haiti for a week how not stupid it is.

Your refering to a situation beyond a persons control and her decision IS under her control.

What happened in Halti was different so please don't refer myself to that incident.
Maybe I'll just do another 3 days as I've done it before- need a good detox.

I'd take vitamin/mineral supplement

I may not end of doing it who knows. I do read into things though.

[texasmr2]

You still have not offered any logical reasoning behind your fasting idea? I would like to be able to help you or offer some advice but I cannot if you will not let me .

i'd expect if you just went veggie for a week or so eating no meat and just pulses, vegatables and fruit etc.. you'd detox but it would be very healthy also.

i've done that depends if you can be assed cooking diffrently.

That's the point, why would anyone push their body to the brink of survivability, especially for the sake of "health" when it's one of the most unhealthy things you can do to your body. If she said it's not stupid it's because she's looked into it and has already gotten the thought that it's ok, we're both saying it's not ok. Perhaps my example i1s harsh, but starvation for the sake of health is a radical (and medically wrong) idea. So Han, please DON'T EVEN THINK about it!

Suppose I could try eating just fruit/raw vegetables if you all don't think its a good idea.

Logical? Ermmm... I just want a good detox (Okay thats not a very good answer)

I just read other peoples experiences on internet and it seems a lot of people do it :/
