[sNyx]

[Vitamin-X]

[ja_raul]

good luck, youre braver than i am... i dont think i would ever fast, theres far too many delicious foods to eat

[Carrie]

i love food too much

[~*tct*~]

^^^my thoughts exactly

[James]

fasting is fun...very mentaly challenging

i used to do it once a month

[justa~gurl]

i'm on my 3rd day now

my diet is not that difficult, and i already feel a big difference in myself

i have a special shake in the morning and at noon to support my intestines and liver and stuff like that.. all throughout the day i can eat as many fruits and veggies as i like (organic) drink as much purified water as possible (min 8 glasses) then at night i get a little bit of rice and chicken

(i think that should be a regular diet, doesn't seem like that much of a fast to me, but it's actually more of a detox thing then a fast i think)

my mom said she was goign to do it so i decided to join her.. she does it more often.. so her diet is a little more strict.. she's limited fruits and veggies, but yeah

it's hard, but not as hard as i thought it would be... especially considering i work in a deli with lots of delicious foods and amazing deserts.. lol

[Technix]

My g/f is fasting too...but she honestly doesn't need to. :(

[islandgirl]

^^^ sounds interesting...where did you get the information on it...ie-the diet regime.

[Sarah...]

i could go for a good cleansing.....maybe i'll check out the health store by my work......

i quit smoking and cut way down on coffee in the last few months....i think i could maybe handle this

[justa~gurl]

well my mom's all into the being health kick thing for the past 6 years.. so by now she knows a lot about that kinda stuff.. she does it about twice a year.. she got it from Roots though.. (That natural store)

It's Natural Factors Seven Day Total Nutrional Cleansing Program (with RevitalX & Detoxitech)

the first 4 days using RevitalX (step one) is to rest, heal and rejuvenate the gut, getting rid of internally generated toxins and paving the way for powerful detoxification using Detoxitech

the last 3 days (step 2) you use Detoxitech which is specifically designed to help eliminate toxins that have been absorbed from the outside, such as heavy metals, pesticides, fumes from paints, solvents and PCB's.

I did a 4 day fast a little while ago. It was good because at the time i was working at mcdonalds and essentially living off of it... I really needed to get that crap out of my system, I did it and i felt great afterwards. Good luck with yours!

[nabs]

as a muslim

every year i have to fast 30 days in a row (Ramadan), It might seem hard for most people. but I can do it because im used to it. but I know for you it must be hard. the advise i can offer is just dont do anythign that will induce hunger or thirst (if you cant drink). Rest a lot.

[FeelGood]

Wow, your body must be loving you.

I bet you feel a LOT better too.

Goodluck.

That sounds really cool! I think your right that the diet it self isnt much of a fast especialy for a small female. My only worrie about it would be the lack of calcium. Otherwise I think fasting is great once in awhile. It cleans out your system and mentaly tests your self control. Although you risk getting sick because while the body is cleansing out the toxins... they get released back into your system and can make you sick. That happened to me when I first tried yoga. Intresting how the body works.

Catholics fast during lent too, not to that extent, but there is still a fast involved. It's a good way to get you to think about how indulgent your lifestyle is.

[nabs]

for sure, but at the end of it all, you feel so good. and refreshed.

lol, yeah,
sometimes i think all the crap in my body is what holds me together... if i get rid of it i'll just fall apart! (p.s.) the shake that i have is chalk full of all the vitamins and minerals that you need.. i probably get more calcium on this diet then i do regularly, and if not then they suggest to eat some almonds or sunflower seeds.

but i have to agree... i think my body is loving me. and i like it


nabs- what does your diet consist of during the fast is it absolutely nothing except water or..? last year when my mom was doing the same thing we're doing now, i told one of my muslim friends that she was on a fast and i told him what she ate and he's like "so pretty much what your telling me is that you mom is NOT fasting"


and thanks for all the positive feedback guys!

[decypher]

I used to fast when i was younger before doing mushrooms, was part of the experience.

[miss.myra]

what does it consist of? I've been considering doing a fast and just sticking to raw foods for a week or two once the holidays are over and done with- is that what you're trying?

[mindgurl]

eeek. you guys all have so much willpower. that is awesome. i love food, i need food. if i dont eat i get dizzy and start to feel sick so fasting would be completely outta the question.

^Its quality vs. quantaty

Healthy food give you better energy and stregthens your body. I find when I eat junk it not only has addictive chemicals in it, but also makes me tired and stuffed. I spend less and eat less with good food and it gives mebetter energy!

Exactly. I used to be the crap food queen but then I started learning about nutrition and realized that junk makes me feel like a completely different person. I worked at McDonalds for five years and ate it morning, noon and night. Hated fruit and vegetables. I wanted all my food deep fried with a tub of mayo on the side. But I felt like a totally zombie. Then I stopped eating meat and learned to love fruits and vegetables and I feel so light these days that I feel like I'm gonna float away sometimes. I always have energy and I'm always hyper and happy. If you're body feels good, it completely changes the way you feel as a person in general.

Good luck with your cleansing/fast thing!

wow........

besides the shake and rice... thats usually how I eat on a regular basis.

I could live off of veggies. I'm a huge fan of salads.
People actually bug me at work because I eat 'too healthy'.........


tho theres always that one day every month... where I jsut crave ice cream or somthing not so healthy. then I kick myself in the face for it later cuz I feel like ass after eating it.
