I made it 4 days and felt great, no weakness, dizziness or hunger. I did drink fresh carrot/apple juice or orange/grapefruit during that time.

Good luck VK, so I guess inviting you for meatballs tonight is out of the question!!

Let us know how it goes!
I am new to fasting and 20 hrs is my best fast so far. x

Hangry

WW3 is a common side effect.

Been intermittent fasting (one meal a day) since 10/3. Not a problem for me since I am keto and already fat adapted. I was able to work up to controlling the hunger pangs.
I switched over to a juice cleanse on the 15th. I was pretty lethargic the first day, but I have felt very good since then. I think the slow build up and transition to less and less food is what helped me not have to experience food withdawls or detox symptoms.
I also am utilising colon cleanse methods to make sure the toxins are leaving and not causing "flu like" symptoms from the detox.

Long story stort,
If done right you can feel great...if done wrong, pain.

I wanted to try fasting, but my acupuncturist said its not a good idea for me. Im working on fertility issues, and she said it will mess up my hormones. I was surprised considering all the good things I've heard about it. I hope it helps you!

It's very safe. Fasting will bring up a LOT of feelings. You simply sit with them. I've done several 12 day fasts over the years and what strikes you right away is how much energy we put into thinking about, procuring, and prepaparing for our next meal. You'll also be surprised that you continue to evacuate for days/ weeks. That's how much food is compacted in your system. How you break your fast is vitally important. You don't go out and gulp down a giant t-bone. Broths, (miso), salad, fruit- lighter fare. Start consuming again slowly. You'll be great.

Q2472

I'll do it with you brother, are we allowed to drink water? I don't know the rules???

recently sick with a horrible sinus infection..... inadvertently fasted for three days.....kicked it right out of me .....so yes it is a great thing to fast.....purges the bad stuff.

just micro

i dont really project fasting anymore i just listen to my body

went 3 days before it hurt but my gut thanked me

I just spent $680 at Costco and bought a new garage freezer.....bad timing on this VK.

Fasting, for me, is intermittent. I have been doing a 16 hour fast, 8 hour eating window for the past 18 months. I have energy and a clear mind. I have slowly lost about 20 pounds. Drink lots of water and keep busy.

day 2 is the worst............. 24-36 hours.. after that it's pretty much mind over matter.
yes - very experienced.

Is it buckle up time?

A nice reset. Three days is a thing. The brain will detox and have more clarity with appetite and the vibes of each food afterward. Connective ease and lift in your Spirit. Good idea and bless you.💫

I would recommend that you drink fruit juice or vegetable juice. Then you don't feel empty and it supports fasting..

Yes - the hardest part of the 72 hour is trying to do the same things you do every day while fasting. Rest and fasting, are betrothed lovers that more often than not, sleep in separate beds.

a very clear mind and abundance of energy and a spirit who Hears The Voice of The Lord

VK I too am starting a 72 hour fast tomorrow. Heading out to nature on sabbatical to commune with nature. No TV no computer no phone just me in a cabin fasting, meditating, reading my Bible and being.

I have been doing (2) 24 hour fasts per week for the last 3 years. It has become a lifestyle change for me.
The only thing I consume is water, tea, and black coffee. There are so many health benefits to fasting but too many to go over in this reply. The hardest part is defeating your mind when it is telling you you are hungry. Headaches are possible but when a headache starts to come on or your stomach is growling, dring 8 ounces of water. It will pass. When fasting, it is very important to drink LOTS of water. This washes toxins from your body and out of your organs and you do not become toxic.
Good Luck VK. I am looking forward to hearing how you did.

6 days first time, nothing but water and fresh natural made teas, Easy for me I had a friend healer stay with me. I felt I could fly, and ascend higher. Ended the fast with raw cold vegetables grated with spices, light mostly raw foods like that for another 3 weeks added in fruits but no sugar. Made huge diet changes by eliminating bad stuff after the fast. I went vegan. My health was so mush better I never got sick again. Its been 20 years. I fast now one day once a week. Everyone fasts daily at least 8 hours!

mostly a test of willpower. be sure to drink enough water and electrolytes.
we can go VERY far without food :)
