Like the first time I did a 40 day fast years ago and lost 90 lbs, I loose about 2lbs per day. My mind is determined this time. I want to see 130lbs on that scale. I gained the weight back cause of emotional eating and I live across the street from Jack N the Box so when my boyfriend dumped me and I was pregnant I went from 170lbs to 300lbs with gestational diabetes. The Lord is awesome I am a single mother and my child is the best event that has ever happened to me after Salvation. Since all I've ever wanted was a child that need to "look " for a relationship is gone. I have low dopamine anyways wchich is good cause being an emotional wreck has always been a downfall for me....until Jesus. Yeshua my lover, my provider and my friend. Financially things have been a bit hard but praiseful cause I've learned to trust in the Lord and not get so stressed out. He has been our provider and my child and I are very blessed. I just chopped off my long dred locs and am starting fresh with not putting toxins in my body through chemicals, I'm starting fresh with my body and want my youthful shape back that I lost 3 years ago. God is good and through His grace I will succeed with this goal.

It take a few days to get into the fasting state where you body is comfortable fasting. But it will work for sure. Let is know how it goes. Hi offroadman

Just eat every other day and on feeding days only eat plant based diet. No processed or manufactured foods. No meat/Dairy. Just 100% RAW Greens,Veggies,and Fruit with occasional no-salt seeds. This is my diet anyway, just wanted to try only eating every other day to give the digestive tract a break. Plant based diet is very cleansing and detoxifying as it is and it also digests quite easily and quickly. I have a friend in California who has been doing this for better than a year and she feels fantastic. But she doesnt eat plant based, just vegetarian. I was fruitarian for 2 years after a master cleanse of 14 days. And I was on top of the world, felt awsome and maintained a weight of 160 when before the master Cleanse I weighed 240. Now Im back to 210 after dabbing back into the Standard American Diet now since this last christmas and have had a serious addiction to Dorritos and Dr. Pepper. So 2 years fruitarian, back to 7 months now of junk food and soda I want to get back what I had. I read about Intermittent fasting and it sounds like something I want to do along with once a month doing a 10 day water fast. I read the book "The Miracle Of Fasting" by Paul Bragg 3 times now and I love that book. Some say only fasting 24 to 36 hours has no benifits because the digestion doesnt shut down to heal and clean till day 3 but I think theres much benifit to fasting for any length beyond our sleep at night. Also I see alot of talk on here of "hunger pangs" Im assuming thats the growling in the stomach. Hunger is not felt in the stomach it is felt in the throat. Ive never experienced true hunger but the growling in the stomach is simply digestion. Something to think about when fasting those growlies are not hunger. At least from what Ive read around the web. Nice site, very informative! And I love the success stories! Rob Hey what to you think of Intermittent Fasting?

Sure you can use canned juices but you will not get that amazing fasting high and incredible revitalization that only comes with juice fasting. It is worth looking for a second hand juicer.

This is my second time fasting. My first water fast was some couple years back and i did it for spiritual reasons for 5 days. I cant believe how powerful fasting is and how great i felt after the 5 days. After i had my second child, i decided i wanted to fast but havent been successful at all. I am sooo glad i found this site so maybe i can get some encouragement. My question is: can i drink the canned juices out of the grocery store..meaning the V8 juices or fruit juices. I dont have a lot of time to prepare juices and wanted an easy way out!! Hello everyone, today i am starting a juice fast. This is my second time fasting.

I have often quite fasting because of it. The mind in that state seeks things to feed the mood and so you start to think of your mother's death. You have to force you mind by counting your blessings and getting the message inside. Hi Liz,

I've been doing this for the past 5 years or so. This is my 9th day and this whole time has been a struggle. It has been so hard for me. Normally, after the fourth day, I don't even care a thing about food. This is the first time I've ever had food cravings for complete junk food. It never affects me when people eat around me- junk food (which I don't normally eat anyway) or anything. My family has cheetos, chocolate, chips, hummus dip, cake at home right now and I've been totally depressed and feel slighted. I'm doing this for me but I can't figure out why this time is so hard. I'm down about 10 pounds and I like that part. My Mother died the 7th and I think I have some stress over that issue. Does anyone have any advice that might be helpful to me right now? Thank you Hello everyone-

Today is very hard for me. I felt totally confident I could do this on the first 2 days, and now I am not so sure. I feel the worst in the morning, and I have to just sit around drinking water to get my strength back, and I am still not really energetic. I have not done an enema yet, and was going to do one this morning, but haven't had the strength. I have also been taking 1 tablespoon of liquid bentonite to bind toxins in the morning. I am doing this fast because I took an ALCAT test, and have food allergies to 82 of the 200 foods they test for. The test also revealed I have a severe reaction to Candida, which I don't understand how they can test for. The ALCAT test is done through a blood test. I want to starve the candida out of my body, but read this morning that it won't work because the body converts muscle into glycogen because the brain needs some sugar, and so there is always some sugar in the body because of this for the candida to live off of. It said that it will weaken the candida, causing it to become dormant, and then coming back when I return to eating again. This information has taken some of my motivation away. Is this true? I did a juice fast once for 10 days, and had horrible spikes up and down. I chose not to do this because of the candida. I also have a large ovarian cysts that I am trying to get rid of , or I will need surgery. I don't know if the water fast can help this. Thanks for any insight.
