Intermittent fasting is a new method of eating that’s gaining a lot of attention lately. we have all been told that in order to lose weight, one must exercise consistently and with a lot of intensity.

Water fast vs Intermittent Fasting

Fasting works like this.First few days you mostly drop water weight you are after all taking in no carbs and no salt on water only fast and both of those make person hold water. You might lose 5 or 10 of water weight some people lose huge amounts of water weight. ... then you gain this back on refeed pretty much instantly alhtough you can do things like raw and eat no or very low salt to help but carbs still make people hold water too and pretty hard to just eat protein and fat although that is pretty much ...

Wow! Thanks for your response. I think I’m still gonna do the water fast but maybe move it down to 10 days. I don’t wanna look too skinny. But I wanna have an athletic looking body. But thank you very much for your input. [End]

by Looking4Change 28 mon 1,158 Fasting: General / Fasting: W / Fasting: I

I want to do a 21 day water fast but the problem is that I keep just giving up. I go the whole day without food and than I stuff myself at night. I just wanna stick to this fast but I need help. So what I’m deciding to do is look for some support or encouragment. I’m gonna post here everdday. I hope no one minds. I just wanna know people are counting on me to finish this to the end. ... Please give me some support... [End]

Oh wow...I’m kind of going through the same right now. For the past couple of days everyday has been my first day at water fasting. I’ll start off good, but by the end of the day I’ll binge on whatever food that’s in my house. ... ... Today is day one (again) but for some reason I don’t think I’ll binge or go off of my fast. There will be a day 2 for me.... I’m just tired of feeling sorry for myself. Something gotta give! Good luck to you & don’t give up. [End]

Having the same problem. I am eating good afterwards, no binges. Very healthy which is good, but can’t get past a day or 2 of fasting. I would like to do at least a week. [End]

Re: Water Fasting by ALB 28 mon 1,180

Start off by juice fasting for awhile. Then maybe switch to water. After couple days two or three your appetite goes away and it gets easy. First couple days are hardest. ... If you can’t make it thru few days without food you maybe lack the willpower to do a longer fast. ... Wife went 28 days on her very first fast on juice. ... I went 40 on water for 31 then juice for three,water for two and juice for 4. After first couple days it was pretty easy. But got really boring past 30 days or so. ... ... Best to stay away from people eating for first couple of days. Don’t watch tv with food commercials an ... [retrieve this message]
