I have never fasted, but I have gone days without food or drink other than water when they have been unavailable.

Did you get lost in the jungle or something where you had no luck foraging?
I don't even know where you could be short of a war zone or stuck in New Orleans during the flood that you could not get access to some food or drink for days?Not the jungle.

It's probably good to have a goal day, just so you don't feel like a quitter? if that makes sense? I remember around day 8, I wanted to quit. I was sitting in a restaurant and guys were taunting me with pizza and nachos, passing them back and forth to each other in front of me. But I had come that far and I wasn't going to quit then. Most people would have said "oh you did eight days, you should be proud of yourself. Eat up," but I said 10 days and I was going to do 10 days. I made sure I told some people too, not everyone, just so I'd keep my word to myself.
Your goal doesn't have to be unrealistic or overly tough. Build on whatever you've fasted before for Ramadan maybe and go from there?
Also I should add, water is the superior fast to any juice fast. Dr. Furhman gets into the science of it as it is more aggressive and also it helps to spare protein in your body after I believe 72 hours for males. If you do a juice fast you are essentially in starvation mode as calories are being introduced to your body and there is a different physiological process going on. May have explained why I stopped losing weight after day 7 of the day 10 fast. I'm not sure.
I've never really thought about trying this. So how do you garner enough energy to make it through the week without feeling sluggish? Especially if you want to work out a couple days a week, or should you not workout during this?
I'm gonna do some research.
You get to feel drunk without drinkingWhat sort of health benefit does fasting from water provide?
well i just ate because i was starving so i failed lol
at least im doing IF
I did it for 6 days on nothing but drinking a mixture of water, squeezed lemon juice and honey. Nothing else. Fuck that noise again, I couldnt do it now that I have lil kids.hey peeps im starting water fasting today,
was wondering if anyone else has tried it?
