Commonly Asked Fasting Questions
Here are some of the questions we have answered. If you want your answered, sign up and post a question.
Is fasting safe?
Everything has risks, but juice fasting is a safer healing method than medications. Your physician will monitor a fast if you request it but fasting is a normal body system that can be stopped at any time. Most overweight people carry enough calories stored in their fat reserves to last for months without food, so worrying about damage due to starvation on a 5 day juice fast is foolish.
Can I exercise while fasting?
Exercise oxygenates the blood. The pumping action of the muscles flushes the lymph system and cells of metabolic waste. Exercise is important but not necessary during a fast. You will feel weak during water fasting, and rest is advised. While juice fasting, you may experience an abundance of energy that can make exercise easy. At other times you will experience energy loss. At these times, limit yourself to stretching exercises, light walking or deep breathing. During a fast, try to avoid intense, physical activity even if you feel energetic. You can feel tired and weak for the next day or two after intense exercise as your body tries to recover the glycogen reserves in the muscles.
How much should I drink?
As much as you want! When water fasting, drink when thirsty. Your body has a homeostatic mechanism that triggers thirst in relation to the body’s need for liquid. On a water fast, I drink small amounts of water but a juice fast is another world. More juice means more calories and more energy. Drinking less juice means more intense detoxification and less energy. Working 14 hours a day of hard physical labor may require the calories of three cantaloupes or honeydews, one watermelon, plus herbal tea with honey and a vegetable juice combination. That is a lot of juice. If you do not have to work at hard physical labor, you can cleanse more quickly by drinking smaller amounts of juice.
Be careful not to drink too much watermelon juice in the morning. Gastric secretions are also waking up to activity. Too much acidic juice early in the morning may cause stomach cramps.
Will I get too thin during my fast?
If you are thin or average weight and you fast for 30 days on juice or 10 days on water, you will become very thin. Ribs will show, the face will become gaunt, and friends and family will display concern. But the body will quickly normalize its weight in 5-to-10 days after the fast. If you are thin to start with, fasting may allow you to gain additional weight after the fast. Metabolism is normalized due to the cleansing process. It is very important not to try to gain weight too quickly. The body can rebuild only at a set rate. Overeating will burden the body and undermine the rebuilding process.
Will fasting shrink my stomach?
From years of over-filling the stomach, it is no surprise that it has lost its natural elasticity. Fasting helps recover the stomach’s natural elasticity, restoring a flat stomach. After water fasting, you cannot eat big meals without feeling bloated, but that is a sign of a healthy body.

If a butterfly could talk of its experience of changing from a crawling insect into a multi-colored, graceful, flying creation, it would most likely be saying the words I felt in my heart. My healing through the 40 days of juice fasting gave back what drugs took away. Thanks for your support Tom. You were a good friend when I needed one.-Carl Wineberg

At the end of the 17-day fast, a physical problem was gone. My doctor had told me I had a stomach reflex disease and would have to take pills for the rest of my life, but after the fast I no longer had that disease; I was completely healed. Thanks Tom, your books and support was fabulous.-Grace Lang

I have lost over 30 lbs. to date, and have a new look as well as a new outlook on life. Not only did the fasting help me with my physical self, but my spiritual self will never be the same. The books were a total support and read them several times, especially when detoxing and feeling apathetic. I heard you have a new book coming out. Save my email, I want it.-Debbie Ried

On the 27th of August 2001 I began a 30 day juice fast. I didn’t actually plan to do 30 days, it seemed impossible to even think of. I just began and thought I’d see where it went. Now I stand in amazement. You asked what I thought of your books. OUTSTANDING!!!-Gray Hodge

This is the information I have been searching for. So clear, so commons sense, I wonder why I missed it. When I was younger, I was an athlete, but now.... 20 years later, oh no. But, you gave me new vision and inspiration. Second day of my juice fast and my wife is loves the recipe book. I would recommend these books to anyone how needs a life overhaul.-Juan Callion

Ok, I now know just how messed up I am. The chapters on the emotions and eating hit home. I am planning a fast but, I know that I need to rebuild and cleanse my mind of all the toxic thinking and emotions that make me want to hide in the pleasures of food. I feel alive for the first time in many years. Keep on going, Tom you have helped me more than my words can express.-Suzie Bilinere

Looking at Moreno Tuguinay now, I am amazed. The transformation from a sickly man to a beaming, positively hopeful one, free of all those health problems which have plagued him through the years is simply remarkable – and all achieved without taking any drugs, just juice fasting for a month. For a physician trained in conventional medicine, this is an eye opener.-Dr. Clare Lalwet

I am really intrested in fasting and detoxification. However, i have high liver enzymes and a fatty liver problem is fasting bad for my liver.
Hi Patrick
Fasting is the best thing for your liver. The best is beet, carrot celery, apple, lemon made with a juice extractor. You should do at least a 3 day juice fast before attempting a water fast. The liver recovers very quickly with fasting. Just type liver in the search box of the site and you will see Carl Winebergs testimony it will be encouraging for you.
Hi Tom,
what about fasting during menstration? Im not sure it is wise for a woman to start one during her cycle but maybe afterwards? Let me know what you think.
Sheila
Hello!
I am planning on starting a 10 day water fast, I feel I have the right motivation and will to do it. I have researched a lot about it and I feel is something I can do. But the only thing is, do I need to use an enema while fasting?, is it completely nescesary? will it be harmfull if I don’t?
Hi Ivie,
Using the enema is not required but it helps the fast.
I have been having an upset stomach for two weeks now. I heard that fasting will help this. I also am about 40 pounds overweight. Will fasting help my stomach and help me lose weight? How long should I fast and what should I drink?
Afton,
Yes fasting will help you stomach ulcer. Juice fast adding potato juice to the mix. I guess you did not read much on the site.
i’m a 15 year old girl who has researched fasting for months now. i’ve been eating strictly raw fruits & veggies for a week now. i weigh 126 pounds and am 5’5. i’m going on a 30 day water fast. could you give me an estimate of how much weight i can expect to lose? that’s not solely why i’m doing it, mind you. i’ve had a POOR diet for 3 months. and i want to detox and clease my system. although, losing weight is a plus.
ps. this site is awesome! very inspirational
Hi courtney
I always recommending juice fasting before water fasting. It build health and nutitional supplies. It also gets you through the start of the detox with ease.
Hi Tom!
Hope you are happy and well!
I am inquiring if fasting helps in the healing of ulcers?
Thanks
Jess
Hi Jess,
Yes juice fasting using potato and carrot and avoiding juices with citric acid juicer.
Treatment length is 30 days.
I’m totally new to fasting of any kind, but I intend
on giving it a go. I am a female truck driver, so I am
very limited in space and possibilities. I am interested
in juice fasting, but feel that due to circumstances
bottled juices would work out best for me. Access to fresh
fruit isn’t always easy. Could you please check out this
website (www.mrsmarsmix.com), and tell me what you think?
If you think it a good option, then which flavor would be
best to use for minimal stomach upset?
I want to try fasting because I am addicted to carbs & sugars.
I would like to break this addiction!! I am 38 yo, 5’8″, &
260#! I have bad knee joints along w/Fibromyalgia. I have
PTSD from traumatic childhood events, along w/depression, ADHD,
& OCD (all of which I have successfully been counseled over &
am on many psychotropic meds). This leads me to my last question,
will I be okay still taking these meds while fasting?
Thank you so much ahead of time,
JustJuicin
P.S.- Sorry so long winded
Hello Tom,
After reading your initial recommendation about starting a water fast with a few days of juice fast and then ending the same way, I started reading further. The impression I get is that I’ve approached the desire to fast naively. In this day and age, with a person close to 50, a lousy diet for years, on medications, what are the chances for a safe, let alone successful, long term water fast? I know nothing of the science other than what I’ve read recently. It appears that, if I am serious about this, then I need to research the topic of juicing before I consider going on the fast.
Perhaps I need to re-think this and my approach?
Thank you,
Jeff
Wise move Jeff. Water fasting of 20 days and up is like climbing a very high mountain with risk. Most fail. Most end with sore stomachs and depression. I just try to reduce the damage by supplying some wisdom. If you cannot make a 5 day water fast and break it correctly, you will never make a long water fast. My first water fast caused excessive vomiting for hours, dizziness and blinding headaches, and eating made it worse. You want to avoid that.
Hi Tom
I was wondering if donating Plasma is okay to do while fasting?
Thanks Jess
Hi…
I want to know how long a person can fast safely. I am very overweight, and diabetic (type two). I am only drinking teas, and boullions, with a small bit of half and half to keep blood sugar up. I am on day five, and want to continue for an extended period.
Hi Jess,
The will be the best plasma they ever took out of an arm.
Hi Amanda,
With a slow metabolsim you could do 100 days like that but not recommended as you are getting zero nutrition. We reverse diabetis here at the hospital, but what you are doing will not work to cure your body.

Hi Tom,
I’ve had stomach/digestive problems for most of my life (more than 30 years). I started taking supplements about 3 years ago and these helped a little. Recently after a two day headache, I decided to try the Candida diet. After only one day, my stomach pain disappeared. After 14 days and feeling pretty good, I decided to do a water fast (can’t have juice with candida). I’m on day 5 now and plan to “try” to make 10 days. I’m surprised by the results though. I guess the candida diet, helped to ease into the fast. I’ve been doing about an hour of walking each day, otherwise minimal exercise. I’ve only been tired for about an hour in the morning when I get up. Yesterday I seriously questioned whether I would be able to finish this fast, but today am feeling ok. Is it normal to continue to have regular bowel movements even after the 4th day? Also, when I drink water, I’ve been getting some uneasiness, acid reflux and feel like I want to throw up sometimes. Also, I feel like I have to have to have a bowel movement all the time. Are these symptoms normal.
Frank
Hi Frank
These are normal symptoms. The desire to through up is due to the detoxification. Some potato juice will help, raw from a juice is the best or simpler some anti acid or calcium tablets. Also lemon juice may help with the candida. We have discoved the all bacteria in the blood is reduces by increase blood alkalinity. Both calcium tablets and lemon juice will do that. Take the calcuim with water.

Hi Kim
The juice from mrsmarsmix would be as good as you can get. If you have a juicer you can take a small freezer and take enough frozen juice for 2 to 3 days.
Hi Tom
During a Juice fast how much Protein do we get from the fruits and veggies?
You get very little protein from the veggie juice. But you do not need it on a fast. You body recycles protein during fasting.
Ok..I was just wondering about the protein because to donate plasma your protein level needs to be at a certain point or one cannot donate. Thanks!
Jess,
Try to give blood during the fast. If they accept it then you protein level was good. That would be interesting.
Hi. I work long hours at work, and would like to do a juice fast. I can’t take the juicer into work, yet I’ve heard that freezing juice destroys the beneficial enzymes, and that refrigerating the juice leads to oxidation.
How can I do a juice fast whilst at work?
Hi Skype,
Keep the veggies in the refrigerator, by cutting them and putting them in water. The next morning juice and put in a good thermos. It will last one day.
Tom i am on day twenty of a juice fast and my tongue never coated up like is says it will and i never noticed the foul breath does this meen that i am not detoxing? also have you ever had any experience with glyconutrients, my girlfreind is using them and her tongue is coating up.
Hi Mark
A coated tongue is due to detoxification. As to the glyconutrients there is nothing to substantiate their claim but they cannot hurt.
Glyconutrient is a term used by the multi-level marketing company Mannatech, and other supplement vendors, to describe dietary supplements that contain a blend of simple sugars (monosaccharides) which are found in glycoproteins.
As Mannatech uses the term in labeling many of its products, glyconutrient refers to mixtures of polysaccharides, such as exudate tree gums and high molecular weight aloe vera extracts containing fermentable dietary fiber and plant extracts, as well as simple sugars or starch.[citation needed] The company’s SEC filing more precisely identifies the contents of Ambrotose, its lead product, as “a glyconutritional dietary supplement ingredient consisting of a blend of monosaccharides, or sugar molecules.”[1] In the marketing literature, these sugars are said to be a blend and the precursors of the following eight simple sugars: Xylose, Fucose, Galactose, Glucose, Mannose, N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, and N-acetylneuraminic acid[2].
The glyconutrients are identified in the textbook Harper’s Biochemistry as providing the composition for glycoprotein structures which are the basis for cell-to-cell communication.[3]
Studies
* In an in vitro study whose lead author was a paid consultant[4], glyconutrients were added to samples of peripheral mononuclear cells taken from patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). When these cells were subsequently exposed to cells infected with herpes, they demonstrated increased activity compared with placebo. Other abnormal immune parameters were also improved in the CFS cells. [5]
Many glyconutrient supporters claim that these sugars have become deficient in the modern diet; they maintain that supplementation can provide health benefits across a wide array of disorders. The American Cancer Society states “Available scientific evidence does not support claims that people are deficient in these sugars, or that dietary supplements containing them can prevent, treat, or cure cancer or any other disease.” [6] There are rare genetic disorders, such as leukocyte adhesion deficiency, in which the body cannot transport[7] a specific sugar due to congenitally deficient enzymes. There are no reliable, controlled studies to show that glyconutrients provide any improvement against any medical disorder.[8]
The claims for the value of glyconutrients have not been substantiated; a lawsuit was filed against Mannatech in September 2005 for violations of the Exchange Act related to material misrepresentations made by the company concerning its products’ efficacy and uses.[9] This law suit was settled in mid 2008.
so Tom does that meen that i am not detoxing if my tongue never coated up?
Hi Mark,
If you are juice fasting your body is always detoxifying. When the tongue is coated and the breath is bad then the body is cleansing a lot of mucoid matter from the lymph. But that is my theory. No serious research has been conducted to my knowledge so these cleansing events become speculation.
I wanted to find out if it would be safe for me to fast for 30 days if I have a concussion. I was in a serious car accident on April 20 I have whiplash and also injured my back. I will be off work for a few more weeks.
Hi Renay,
Yes, fasting is the best for recovery after accidents. I fasted after 2 accidents to speed recovery time. Juice fasting is recommended for a first fast with some water fasting days.
Hello Tom;
I asked for my parents’ consent for fasting, because it would make this easier for me as i wont have to lie to then about why I wont eat. But my mother said if i fast (I’m doing a 12 day water fast), then i’ll lost alot of weight, but gain even more back! I’m average weight right now but i have a lot of problems like i’m never hungry at the right times, I am constipated since i was very young, and my skin has patches of different tones and dry patches. I’m hoping this will help cleanse my body. Will I really gain twice the fat back? Because I am a teenager and I am very very body image concious.
Thank you SOO Much;
Shawnaa <3
Hi Shawanna
Fasting is a science. Try a juice fast with a juicer before going to water fasting. It is far more therapeutic for your health issues.
You can mess up your system with water fasting. And blowing a water fast can be very painful. If you do 3 days of juices you can do 2 on water and back to juice for 3. You will have more energy and fasting will be more enjoyable.
Its awful when you’re in that hole with depression, but I believe you can climb out of it, its a long journey but boy is it worth it, as the suffering and the experience in the long term becomes an asset. Would you agree?
Hi Ollie
I went through depression for years but it may have been directly related to my health. Diet fasting and exercise made a huge change to how I feel.
after 5 days im still deficating hows that possible without eating food or is this stuff that has been sitting in my gut??
Hi Paul,
The average healthy male has about 5 lb of impacted fecal matter that fasting quickly removes often with strange sightings in the toilet bowel. Also juice has some pulp if you are juice fasting.
hey tom
i am currently on day 8 of my juice fasting and have lost 20lbs.
lately i have been feeling nauseated and dizzy!!
i believe it may be the toxins now entering my blood, but when will it stop?
I was 185 now i am at 165, 5’6
I have had to leave work bc id get sooo dizzy and nauseated!!
HELP! (with anything?)
Thanks!
Hi Tom!
Running across this website is a huge blessing, as I’ve recently become overwhelmingly drawn to holistic health and natural nutrition for healing. My question is regarding food allergies – I have Oral Allergy Syndrome which gives me allergic reactions to many raw fruits and vegetables. I am curious how I could follow a juice fast, with this being the case. If I stick to fruits/veg I can tolerate, will my OAS eventually be reduced so I can incorporate more into my juicing menu? Have you seen any cases like this?
Thank you for your help!
Hi Sunshine,
OAS is a first for me but there are so many things you can try to juice, like yams to find the juice the works for you. Stay with the juices that do not cause a reaction. Generally food allergies can be completely healed through fasting.
Hi Tom,
I know I have seen a post here about acid reflux and fasting, but have not been able to find the information. What juice do you recommend for that ??
Hi Karen,
Potato juice may help mixed with other juices. Search ulcers in the top right as there are some stuff that may help.
We discovered that 3 miles of road was wiped out here in the Philippine Mountains, getting power could take a few more weeks. Mostly the power never goes out for more than a few hours at the most. But 3 typhoons in a row did its damage. It is safe here in Sagada. I will answer when I can. I an in the van running of the car battery. And I sure do appreciate Kieth and members who are supporting each other.
Tom
Acid Reflux
First of all, try to eat small, frequent meals instead of three big meals a day. Small amounts of food each time would exert less workload on the stomach and therefore requires less acid secretion for digestion. Make sure to include foods that are high in complex carbohydrates in each meal. These foods, such as rice, breads and pasta, are able to tie up excess stomach acid and are often easy on the stomach.
Avoid high-fat meals such as those from the fast food chains. High fat foods will remain in the stomach longer, thus causing the need for more stomach acid in order to digest them.
But remember, don’t overeat! Eating too much of any foods will stimulate the stomach to secret more acids for digestion.
Avoid or limit alcohol.
Maintain upright position during and at least 45 minutes after eating.
Try elevating the head of bed six to eight inches when lying down.
Don’t think that beverages just quickly flow through your stomach without affecting acid production. Surprisingly, a lot of beverages stimulate acid secretion such as beer, wine and pop. The worst of all is beer. It could double your stomach acid within an hour.
We have been told for years that coffee, acidic fruit as well as spicy foods can aggravate acid reflux. Therefore, we should avoid these in our daily diet in order to reduce acid reflux. A recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, showed that none of this holds true. Researchers from the Stanford University found that the only two behavioral changes can reduce symptoms of acid reflux – eating less and elevate your head while sleeping.
Hope this helps you Karen.
Best regards Keith.
Tom can advise you more soon, he is having problems with his internet conection as there was a typoon where he lives.
Thanks so much Tom for your response. I’m sorry you are having trouble with roads and power. Glad everyone is o.k. in your camp. I will tell my friend to add potato to her juice. Thanks
Take care
Hi Tom, I am on my 8th day of fasting and have lost 14 pounds but I have not had a bowel movement. Initially I was on a water fast but on day 5 I drank some juice and had a small bowel movement, but none since. I started drinking juice again on day 7 but no bowel movement and my weight is staying the same. What can I do the get a bowel movement and keep the weight coming off. I dont have any hunger pains and I am shooting for 40 days. I feel great now but I want to detoxify and lose more weight.
Hi Stef
What you have said on your post is normal on water fasting, you wont have bowel movments, you had a slight movment with juice this is normal, the only time i had bowel movments on my 30 day fast was when i took an oral enema, you can buy these from the chemist or you can do a salt water flush, you take 1 ltr warm water 1and a half table spoons of salt, mix it through the water then drink it in one sitting, it should take about 1hr 30 mins to work, but trust me it will, do not stray too far from the loo, you can add a little lime to offset the taste, or go to the chemist and buy an oral enema.
However i have read that taking oral enemas powder or pill form only flushes out the colone, however the salt water flush does flush out the colone and also the intestines, only drawback is horrible to do but the benifits of this is that your waight loss will start moving forward again, only do an enema which ever you choos 1 in every 4-5 days
Best wishes on your fast Keith Site Admin.
I have heard conflicting arguments in terms of fasting for the purpose of weight loss. Is the weight loss permanent if you incorporate a daily exercise regime as well as change the bad habits that were part of your daily life prior to fasting? Or do you gain all the weight back? Any and all responses are greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hi Spartunz,
Weight gain is excess calories. Weight loss come by a change in lifestyle. Fasting can be a quick temporary fix of a huge step toward a dramatic transformation of lifestyle which is dependent on how much you want change and are you willing to be uncomfortable and out of the comfort zone long enough for the lifestyle to become a way of life.
Hi Tom,
I have read up quite a bit on fasting but still very confused. Nevertheless, I am very eagle to try out because I really hope that it can heal my depression.
One question..if after 4 days of fast (alternate between juice & water), there is no bowel movement, can I take pysllium powder?
I read that laxatives are not recommended. I am not comfortable with using enema. So, I suppose I need to take something to make my bowel move.
Looking forward to your reply. Thank you & God bless.
Hi Nancy
If you do not eat your bowel do not move. It is not constipation of a problem just physics. Yea you could take psylium but I find it mucus forming. No bowel movement is not a problem during fasting, it is normal.
Hi Nancy
The best cleanse you can do is the salt water flush.
I stand by my recomendation of it” as it cleans out the intestines and colone.
I have read extensivly into the flush and have performed it on myself many times, without any problems “apart” from a good sleep and a deep cleanse of the inners.
Try getting that from colonic irregation?
Blessings Keith.
ps if you need information how to do the {SWF} let me know.
Hi Keith,
A colonic irregation? Does it mean I have to get a professional to do it? I do not wish to incurr more cost.
How to do a SWF? Will taking salt hurt an empty stomach? I am afraid of getting gastric problem if I do the whole fasting wrongly.
Thank you.
Hi Nancy
Sorry i have not been online for a few days, i have switched to broadband now, my last server was to slow for posting videos on youtube.
Go to my site to see how to perform the Salt water flush.

How is the broad band? What is your speed?
Tom,
I am interested in fasting, but I have lymphedema. I’ve done A LOT of research, but can’t find anything linking to it. I’m nervous that all of the toxin will wreak havoc on my engorged leg. What are your thoughts? Would fasting be ok or beneficial? Or harmful?
About 2 months ago, I successfully completed my first 14 day juice fast. I am going to go for 30 days next. I think I may have found a worm in my stool and I was wondering if the is a cocktail I could take to help eliminate any worms/parasites I may have. Though there was no movement it sure looked like it may be a worm , better safe than sorry! Thanks for any help! Liz
Hi Coburn,
For sure try the salt water flush to kill worms and parasites. If you give it to a lab they can tell what it is.
A wormwood/black walnut hull/clove parasite cleanse is good to.
I am 5’3, weigh 121 pounds, 22 year old girl. In the past few months I gained 20 pounds because of compulsive overeating, so my reasons for fasting are breaking this exhausting habit, weight loss, and learning to deal with my emotions. I just did a 2 day water fast, and had to break it on the 3rd, because I woke up feeling extremely weak, with very strong and fast heart beating, and strong acetone breath, all which got me pretty worried and scared. This is the second time it happens, my last attempt at fasting ended exactly the same way, on the 3rd day. Other than that I’ve done several 1 day fasts. Are those symptoms normal? I could try to get through it, but I’m afraid it might be dangerous. I would really like to do a 2 or 3 week fast.
Hi Voilette
You have not slowed down and read much. Fasting is a science. NEVER WATER FAST ON YOUR FIRST FAST has been repeated thousands of times on this site.
Buy a juicer then try again. You have to find peace. You have to invest time in prayer or at least some positive calming thinking. The battle with food is the battle of you thoughts and emotions; you cannot win unless you win in the mind. Slow down, and read. http://compulsive.ws
And also, I felt very nauseous, and had an urge to vomit. Thanks in advance for your reply!
