I’m heading to Vegas in 8 days and I have been feeling lethargic and slightly heavy so I am going to water fast to shed some weight and toxins...don’t worry, I won’t be breaking the fast with a bunch of alcohol and bad foods when I get there. I would love to hear about other experiences with water fasting...mainly - how long have you fasted for and how much weight did you lose in that time? Thanks ahead of time! S   [End]

If you want to continue working out, yet cleanse your body at the same time, I highly recommend the ”lemonade diet” (master cleanse). The lemon and maple syrup should provide you with enough vitamins and minerals to continue your work outs. GOOD LUCK!   [End]

Look, I don’t know what your issue is but ”the POINT” is so that people can save money if they choose to not receive the newsletter or subscribe to his website. I personally think the FDA is useless and politically corrupt, but that has nothing to do with people wanting to save money by cancelling their memberships. Hope that’s clear enough for you!   [End]

Today is Day 1 of my fast. I’m not sure how long I will go, but removal of toxins and weight loss are my ultimate goals. I want to lose 30 lbs. and figure it will take me at least 21 days, so that should also be long enough to rid myself of toxins. I can’t wait. I will post my stats each day beginning tomorrow. Wish me luck!   [End]

It’s all about will power and if you can make it passed the first 3 days, you’re golden. I’m on day 7 now and as of yesterday went from my size 14 to a 10 and have lost 11 pounds. I can’t wait to see what the end of today brings. Amazingly, despite a severe respiratory cold, and my ”monthly friend” that is visiting, I am quite energetic. My tongue is completely coated white, so I know I’m detoxing. I’m going to just listen to my body and keep going until I’m back in my size 6’s. My goal weight is 130. GOOD LUCK!

Hey! I’m a size 6 wannabe (back in those jeans) too! My size 6’s are still folded up just waiting for me to fit back into them. I’m a size 14 now! YUCK. I’m also on day 4 and started at 170 and am now down to 163 (mostly water weight I’m sure). That much of a scale change is definitely encouraging but mostly seeing my collar bones and my cheek bones again is an even bigger motivator. I have 40 pounds to lose (want to regain my 130lb. figure again and have my 6-pack back...a happy marriage did it to me!!!) :) Keep me posted on your progress and if you want to email for encouragement, ...

Hey there! Actually, I’m on day 4 as well...started Sunday. I would love to have a partner with this. I sip water throughout the day, usually 1/2 gallon to 3/4 gallon. The fast wouldn’t be so bad but I also contracted a respiratory infection on Sunday, so my lungs hurt, my nose is constantly running and I can’t sleep because I cough all night. But, hopefully the fast will help me kick that, although today has been the worst. I am posting my stats on my blog, so feel free to drop in there. I want to make it through April 12th, but will go longer if my body isn’t too bad off. Here we go!

Like everyone else, I am starting day one again today. Last night we had company over and they were all grilling filet mignon and making potato salad, so I caved. But, this is it. After shedding tears about how I gave in and was weak, I will no longer allow myself to be weak. I am starting today with no guilt. I am halfway through day 1 and feeling hungry, but not really craving anything. I have started to come down with a cold (sore throat, puffy eyes, runny sinuses) and I’m VERY fatigued so maybe this will help me feel less hungry. I’m going to take a nap (while my hubby’s out shop ...

Today is Day 1 of my fast and I feel horrible. I’m craving really bad foods (cheeseburgers, fries, candy bars, pizza, etc.) I swore to myself that I would not give in for three reasons: 1) I need to lose about 40 pounds to get back to my normal weight, 2) I want to feel beautiful and happy again for myself and my husband (who has been so loving inspite of my weight gain), and 3) I need to start getting healthier before I continue to worsen my health. My goal is to make it to the end of the 11th day (April 11th). If I still feel good at that point, I will continue and take it day by day ...

If you don’t understand why people believe in what man or woman says or writes then why do you believe in the bible and repeatedly quote scripture? The scriptures were written by man, so your thoughts seem a little hypocritical. Don’t get me wrong, I am a Christian and believe that Jesus Christ walked the earth and that there is a God in Heaven, and that’s based on what men wrote in that ”book”. Do we know 100% for sure that what the Bible says is true or is it just a bunch of stories spun from hundreds of years ago? I guess that’s what makes religion (all religions) something of FAITH ...

You’re doing great Paige! I agree that mentally telling yourself Day 2 will help you along, but now stick with it, because you are doing this to flush toxins and cleanse your body. As far as no weighing...I agree. Fast until you know it’s time to quit, then weigh yourself and try on your smaller jeans. Who knows you may have to start wearing smaller jeans before you’re done!

Not that this is the correct way to go about it, but just to give you a success story... My dad has been suffering from depression for over 15 years and has been continuously switched from one pill to another.

My father was a walking zombie, and had contemplated suicide MANY times. After much research, and accruing MORE physical ailments caused by ingesting these TOXINS, my f ...

So it’s 11:30am on day 2, and feel SO good that I made it through day 1. Almost gave in to the dinner I made for my husband last night, but just cooked it up really quickly, took a shower then went to bed to avoid temptation. Today is almost as hard, but seems to be a little bit easier. Went shopping for all the organic stuff that my hubby and I love, and with today being a day off, and having already run all of my errands, I can hear food calling me as I sit here in the office! So, I’m going to chug a bunch of water, pay and mail bills, watch a couple of movies, head to my basketbal ...

So now that you’ve made it past day 1, how is day 2 going? I’m DYING for food, but not thinking about it. It’s my day off and I’m ready to hit the kitchen, but I think I’ll chug some water, pay bills and lay down for a nap instead. Maybe watch a movie to keep my mind off of it until 7:45 tonight when I have a basketball game. That will put me into day 3 before I know it right?   [End]

Hey Jodi! I’m on day 2 with you!

Good luck with this. Only advice for the Juice portion of your fasting is to drink only organic juices. Even 100% ”all natural” juices have processed sugars, etc. And yes, I would do water as much as possible for your weight loss deadline. GOOD LUCK. I’m on day 1 today and want to lose about 40 lbs. by mid-Feb. for a Costa Rica trip so I definitely can relate. :) Sharene   [End]

Hey! Sorry to hear about your accident. I definitely agree that from all of the prescriptions your body is full of toxins (as mine is from my own prescriptions).

I know even if I eat purely organically that the toxins are still there and hinder solid weight loss as well, so this is why I’m on the water fast. And, oh by the way, I’m STARVING right now! LOL!

Once I start eating again, my cravings come back full force and before you know it, I’m eating everything under the sun. I’ve found something that works AMAZINGLY. Eat nothing but ORGANIC foods...eat anything you want...beef, chicken, fish, veggies, fruits, pasta, ANYTHING, but just make sure it’s organic.

I totally agree with Marion and would just like to add that if you do decide on consuming JUICE, ensure that it is either freshly made (invest in a juicer) or purchase ORGANIC juice. So many other store-bought juices, even the ones that say 100% natural, are filled with processed sugars, etc., and therefore will slow your progress and achievement of overall health.
