I am a 35 yr old female with 2 very active toddlers. I am 5’ 6” in height. Besides being over weight, I am a very healthy person. I can count on one hand the number if times I have been sick in my whole life. Just want to loose weigt and keep it off.
When you say 30 days fast followed by 30 days of refeeding followed by another 30 day fast, what do I do during the 30 day re feeding period? I see from your previous post, that I need to stay on juice/liquid (I am gonna do lemon juice) for 7 days. So how about the remaining 23 days? Just fruits and veggies? I will try to limit fruits and ...

Thanks archus. I will follow your advice. 43rd day is my birthday and so, I just picked that number. I will break my fast even if hunger does not return by then. But since I am very over weight, 213 lbs when I started, I do not think that true hunger will return earlier. [End]

Refeeding with lemon juice?
Hello all, I am currently on day 12 of a 43 day water fast. This is my second 30+ day water fast. Last time, which was a couple of years ago, I did not do the refeeding properly and due to irregular eating and work habits, gained all the weight back. Now I am determined to do it right and eat right (hopefully) for the rest of my life.
So my question is, after my 43 day water fast, how many days should I be on a liquid diet as part of the refeeding process? Also, I have read on the forums, that I need to start with a juice like watermelon or orange. Can ...

My initial plan was to fast for 60 days - water only. My other longest fasts were one 36 day water only fast, and a couple of master cleanse diets for around 30 days. So, I don’t know whether I will be able to do a 60 day water only fast. But the main reason I am having second thoughts about the 60 day is by reading all posts on this forum as well as on different websites as how doing 60 days cud be detrimental to one’s health especially as I am not taking any supplements or any salt water etc. just plain water according to thirst. Nothing else.
So, now I am thinking maybe I should do 4 ...

Day 1: Had bad craving for coffee around 9.30 in the am. But got through it. Not looking forward to caffeine withdrawal headaches that I usually get on the second or the third day. Hope to miss them this time around. On, btw, has anyone lost hair during their previous fasts? The last time I did my 33 dy water fast, I lost more than half my hair around 3 months after the fast. Not only did I loose my hair, but the remaining hair was so coarse and dry, my hair used to stand out as if I had my finger stuck in an electric outlet. I have regained all the hair back now and the texture is back to ...

Hey, I am in the same boat. Is this ur first long fast? I had done one earlier, 1.5 yr ago to be exact. I did it for 33 days and lost around 30 lbs. But, right after the fast, I had a host of parties, gatherings & whatnot and fell off the health wagon and back to my old bad eating habits. And now, I am at my heaviest ever. I used to have incredible will power and cud force myself to fast, but don’t know somehow somewhere I have lost it. Have not been able to do it again. I just hope tat I can do it this time.
Abt me: I am an 34 yr married women with 2 incredibly hyper kids 6 & 3. I usu ...
