I am on day 4 of my water fast. I am doing it for spiritual cleansing and to draw closer to God. I am very tired today and am experiencing a lot of gurgling in my stomach and some diarrhea. What's that all about? Hi.

I am on day 4 of my water fast. I am doing it for spiritual cleansing and to draw closer to God. I am very tired today and am experiencing a lot of gurgling in my stomach and some diarrhea. What’s that all about?

I have been taking some all natural supplements like 20 calories worth of Omega 3 and some AgeLoc Vitality which is in a nano-particalized form in capsules. These are for energy, cell health and heart health, plus I have to work. While I understand this isn't a total water fast, it is as close as I can get right now. Amazingly enough, taking the supplements does not seem to cause any kind of hunger to set in... in fact, I have not felt hunger one time during this entire experience.

Water fasting will test your resolve. You might want to switch between juice and water. You will get nourishment and still lose weight. You will lose approximately 1-2 lbs., per day depending on your activity. But there are plateaus, where you may not lose for a day or 2, then drop a few all at once. I suggest you that you read the blogs here. There is a wealth of info, and many answers to questions that I'm sure you will have. Good Fasting! Ron Hi Crystal, You’ve chosen a very hard road.

I actually have minimal hunger pains, and I think I've built tolerance by going into the kitchen and taking deep breaths while my mother is cooking and accepting the fact that I will not eat anything, and telling myself that I'm strong. I've been addicted to food and eating late at night before this fast, and I'm hoping that by the end of it I'll be a new person. Currently I weigh about 175lbs, and I'm 5'3, and I'll be 19 in three weeks. I'm afraid that my parents will take me out to eat or something, will I have the strength to refuse them? But if I get past those 18 days between now and my birthday, most likely I can get through my birthday. I'm hoping to go the full 40 days, because my goal is 117lbs. Is this too ambitious of a goal? After the fast, I plan on feasting on raw fruits and veggies for a week, and when my energy gets back up, I will resume swimming at my university's rec center. I admit that I didn't begin the fast with juice fasting, however I did do the water diet a week prior to this (replacing 1-2 meals a day with water), so as far as I know, my body isn't going into complete shock. I did notice that I'm growing these pus-filled bumps on parts of my skin (is it okay to pop them? they're painful...) but other than that, no detox symptoms so far. The first day was horrid. My sister had friends over and they ate chinese takeout in my room...I was strong, though, and kept looking at models on the forever21.com website and mentally shopping for when I reach my ideal weight. It works pretty well, actually. But I have a question, in order for me to reach my goal, how many days do I have to fast? Right now I'm pretty sedentary, but next week I start school and I'll be moving around more. Is it safe to play dance games to lose extra calories? Or should I just lay low for as long as I fast, just going to and from school and nothing more? I know I'll be weak, so perhaps I'll do my homework in bed? I need to lose all of this excess weight by Halloween, hopefully. Please help me?

Your body is trying to conserve it's fat stores. It also not unusual for someone to lose just 25 to 30lbs. during a 30 day fast. For some that is enough weight to lose. If you can hold on to 40 days, you will drop another 8-10 lbs. If you are grossly over-weight it may take several fasts in a row to achieve your goal. Just separate the fasts with one week of raw foods only. You will continue to maintain and possibly lose a few pounds. Exercise is also a compound effect for weight reduction.
