Diets like this give people the wrong idea. Most detox diets aren't proven to work and any weight you lose is likely to be gained back since most of it is water weight due to the lack of carbs you're consuming(which is why people on low carb diets think it's some dumb miracle diet when they lose 10lbs in a week.) Ketosis can work but that's very long term. Anything you experience from this diet is probably placebo, Chlorella + cilantro is about the only "detox" worth doing.
Im on DAY too and the hunger pains are not as bad as they are when im actually eating solid foods...I get really bad hunger pains normally...I think I can go a few more days..Dont know If im going to make it the full 7 days but i am going to try my hardest
This is an invitation for you to join in a 30 day water fast starting from sundown on the 9th.
The intention of this fast would be to completely cleanse the body's cells of accumulated toxins, and thus restoring it to optimal health.
During the 30 days of the fast, we would discuss how to maintain our healthy body. Topics which would be covered would be, what we breathe, what we drink, what we eat, and what we put on our skins, and into our hair. contact me for details - rsgriman@hotmail.com
really cool, i wanna try but i wonder if i will get those head aches from lack of food? and also if you lost your feeling of hunger is it hard to go back to eating?
@gtghome during fasting, the body more or less goes into ketosis which is the process by which the body uses ketone bodies when the supply of glucose has been depleted. the acetone that she tastes is actually excess ketone bodies which have been decarboxylated into acetone and is excreted to various parts of the body. that explains the reason why when a person undergoes fasting, his or her breath may smell really bad.
@RedShanaBFMV I think it's alright in small amounts. So long as it doesn't become her whole lifestyle and she maintains her body...besides, everyone is unique and what might be unhealthy for you might be perfect for someone else at a certain point in their lives. (:
......i feel disgusting i can never get passed the third day of fasting every time i get to the third day i feel like im gonna puke and i cant sleep ......i felt like that this morning..... and so i ate 3 bowls of cereal and 3 strawberries .....im so disgusting i wish i could fast for that long
@Itachi2Gaara I've just finished my third day. I thought I was going to die the night of the second day aching beyond belief in my gums and throat but now the aching is GONE! I've tried to fast before and have managed two weeks but I think I did not drink enough water. I drank only 8 glasses a day. Very bad. Now I'm drinking enough water and I feel wonderful today.
im on my 6th day of fasting but in truth its my 4th on the water, and 3 days before hand i had juice before. so i dono if i should count that all 2geather or not. i still have my hunger sadly tho. :(
After looking at yours and others,I went on the ater fast. I'm on Day six. I went from 222 pounds to 204 so far. I want to go as long as I can. I actually feel the same minute pangs of hunger after getting through my worst day..Day 3 Oh I keep my walking/jogging going per day nonstop for at least 45 min. My jogging suffered the most today. I have less energy!
I am thinking about cutting out all soda's from my life. Eating only fresh fruits, veggies and fresh juice. My means I will just bake. Actually chicken my be my only meat. Anyway rock on my friend! [+_+]/
@aliendeception Right on! I've been pretty much off soda for about a year now with little relapses every now and again. Just had soda a little bit ago, in fact. Gave me a terrible stomachache for about an hour, and the carbonation in it was overwhelming. It gets really easy after a while to avoid it. I'll be cheering you on if you do/did decide to go through with that :D
You look excellent. I've never fasted but plan to after an initial 2 weeks of the raw food diet. I'm very small statured as well so I'm hoping I can last and stay healthy. Thank you for sharing this experience.
@crystalAura when you're eating ACTUAL FOOD AND ACTUAL CALORIES you're not suppose to eat less than 1200 cal a day...so eating ONE meal a day will not do a person any good...yeah they'll lose weight but they're not getting enough daily calories for energy and without energy how can you burn fat your body will just store the fat ..your body will go into starvation mode thats why water fasting is better cus its 0 calories and ifs safe to do for up to 40 days no food JUST WATER.
Ten days. Well when I did without food for ten days, I nearly fainted many times. But I know what you mean about not feeling hungry. I did however suffer from the acid in my belly and I needed to dring lots of water to dilute it. I also felt very weak and had pains in my muscles especially those between my shoulders and neck (I think they are called deltoids). I was told that my body was literally eating itself in order to get nutrition. I broke the fast with solid food - a painful mistake.
Thanks for sharing your experience, wlwak. I might have had those experiences as well, except that for weeks before this I had been eating nothing but fruits and leafy greens, and some raw peanuts. I'm sure it helped.
Well Done! I understand how you feel after fasting... you dont want to eat and people ask me how can you survive on one meal a day? And its like "How can I eat three meals a day??!!" Its so much, too much for the body. Even now I am ready to fast again! I love how I feel.
@crystalAura I know you made this video an incredibly long time ago, but I have a question..or questions: If I wanted to do a water fast for the first time, how long should I fast and what things should I NOT do, and how many days before the hunger subsides?
@crystalAura Hi again :) I love that feeling as well. Once you achieve that euphoric state it's like...who needs food again. Speaking of which, I think it's just about time for another of my 3-4 day dry fast...or maybe i'll try the 10 day water fast for a change (?)
Im going to be on my last day of water fasting tomorrow which will be my 11th day. How do I break the fast? Im very scared about this part because ive heard of people overeating after extended fasts and becoming very ill.
hmm having some oranges will give your digestive system a reason to go to the bathroom/washroom. It is less pleasant to eat after many days of fasting... let this be as gentle as possible, let the focus be on rehydrating first, with fruits- mostly nonsweet, if it's easier on you (i.e. cucumbers, lemon juice, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, melons, etc.).
Slowly add more sweet fruits as you appreciate them, things like mangoes, grapes, and bananas, dates and figs.
You could start adding fresh greens after a couple weeks of this. After being on this, you may prefer it to eating unhealthily, which if you did, would present rashes and a coated tongue. The body is much more sensitive now and will respond more immediately in eliminating or surfacing these ingested substances rather than store as mucous.
Wow, you seem so centered when you fast.. or are you that way all the time and fasting just brings you back to center when you stray? Either way you seem calm and I'm wondering if you're going to fast again. Do you only do 10 days or have you ever gone beyond that? Funny but saying "10 days" is so fast and simple but living thru 10 days of fasting goes by slow.
Yes, it does. I am so impressed with your extended fasts!
When on this fast, and when eating fruits before this, I was coming more in touch with this centeredness and watching my impulses and mindless habits, questioning the necessity of them. I definitely felt more of a stillness over this fast, and it was a beautiful place to be in, spiritually.
I would like to experience a longer fast someday, when I am ready for it.
can you guys recommend a simple and easy to follow fasting for a newbie? I have done 1 day fasting with no food and just liquid but my head really hurt after day one and I could not go on.
Yes, fasting or even eating just fruit will bring about a headache for a full day or even a little more than that... just keep drinking water and eating fruit, so it's not too bad, and it will go away soon. Then if you keep up with the lifestyle of not eating sludge foods, you will not experience headaches at all anymore.
How does a water fast work, do you only drink water and have no food? And is this good for your body? I hear a lot of people saying that they do it and i want to find out the positives and negatives about it.
Hi Elise! Yes, this is how water fasting works. You rest a lot and drink a lot of water daily until you decide you're ready to eat (and this would be simple, easy to digest foods- fresh fruits or some have steamed veg). It gives your digestive system a rest, and it gives it a chance to flush out. Your skin clears, and you resensitize your taste buds, and most of all, you release mucous. Your body becomes sensitive to chemicals afterwards. I have had interesting experiences with that.
One night I had soup with caramel coloring added, and this was after a fast and fruit cleanse, and the next morning I had brown markings on my hands that looked like I had drawn on it with a brown marker. The caramel coloring had surface to my extremities- the hands.
I was amazed that another lady had just completed her 20 day fast, followed by another lady who did her 10 day fast. As they blogged about their days, I became inspired by their strength and resolve. I then knew I could do it too! I, too, had done 5 day fasts before this.
Eating fruits and veg for weeks beforehand helps you get used to a lighter state and to lighter nutrition (from a food source closer to the sun~*). This prior way of eating makes the fast less difficult.
hey, soo im going to do my first fast today. my fast will be from right now till monday morning. i want to deny my earthly pleasures, clean my body from MDMA, loose weight and see if i can be strong minded. so please meditate, or pray for me. thanks. - clay
lol. you're a bit funny--so you seem. anyway, any tips for coming of a water fast? i don't want to eat something that'll put me in the ER ... obviously, a first huge meal is out of the question.
Yes, start with lemon juice squeezed over thinly sliced cucumbers, it's super refreshing! You're getting electrolytes as well. Work your way up to sweet fruits slowly- uh, they're not going to be pleasant for a while. Strawberries (any berry) and honey dews (any melon) are awesome. Pineapples- good ones- are great after a fast too. Do this for as long as you enjoy... if you want other foods, go ahead, but the mucous/debris that clogs will return just as it left.
wow, hahah :) sounds like you really know how to eat as well as you know how not to. i appreciate the tips, greatly. anyway, i want to fast for disciplinary/spiritual purposes. have you felt that you've gained an "improvement" in either area, if that was an intention?
What was your weight prior to water fasting and did you gained it back the weight as soon as your fast was over? Thanks for the response. Also, what has motivated you to complete this journey??

I had not weighed myself, but I estimated that it was around 124. No, even though I reluctantly returned to eating, I rehydrated mainly with cucumbers or watery squash (thinly sliced) lemon juice and oranges or tangerines, and melons. I wrote a response somewhere among these comments. I'll find it and copy and paste it.
You can take walks out in the fresh air, but you will soon find out that if you keep working out intensely, you will feel it strongly over the next day, and it is an unpleasant feeling.
haha you know why? I made this one after I made a video where I was going too fast, out of some personality attributes. In this video, I reflected moment-to-moment, to not get ahead of myself.
Well, not that much indeed, but she is really brave and independent. Fasting is known since ancient Egypt. If you wish further information, try reading Rational Fasting by A. Ehret or the books by H. Shelton, they are really mind-opening IMO.
oh yes I agree. Even if I've read the books, I still don't want to fast, because of many factors. I was not trying to minimize her actions, I was just specifying that fasting is an ancient and great way to reach a superior health! Byez
To let go of the waste and to keep the good. To cleanse from impurities (salt, pesticides, residues, chemicals) and to return to instincts to sense what is beneficial to this life.
I'm actually dry fasting right now during daylight hours, and breaking it each evening with fruits. It's been a good experience for me, as I truly enjoy what I have in the evenings.
you guys have taken something that has been in practice thousands upon thousands of years before the birth of your death cult and know are trying to berate others for doing it.
You cant even tell me the primary and true purpose for fasting yet you are here scolding others.
I know that you addressed this in some older comments, but I started a water fast a few days ago (I'm on the infamous day 3) , but I started with a sludge diet before going cold turkey into a water fast.
The headache on day 1 was killer, and while the hunger is still intense, I'm doing pretty okay. I wish I could have done all fruit for a few weeks leading up to this because since I've been fasting, all I crave is fruit.
Good job on your fast, maybe someday you'll do an extended one!
I am about to start a 7-10 day water fast, I am a runner and I run almost daily. When you did your fast, did you do any excercise? Do you think it would be possible for me to keep on running every day of my fast? or would this be dangerous?
What will happen on a fast is you will heed the needs of your body. There is no waiting area. You will feel everything it needs. Some people (already cleansed) seem to function almost normally on a water fast. If it is rough on the body you will know it.
I did exercise for the first week. Just squats, boxer abs (circular sit-ups) and non-intensive workouts.
It might be dangerous to run every day. The body takes it easy so that a lot of work can be done within.
Eating nothing but fruit for weeks, doing salt water flushes (too rough, I don't recommend them) and alternating with having grapefruit and lemon juices for three days, and keeping up with exercises. I read literature on fasting and clarified my purpose for fasting. I stayed on it for 10 days though I felt I ended it prematurely.
I did for a while and reaped many benefits! It was quite awesome!
When I do have it correct I will be able to post videos to share how it is, in conjunction with fitness (how it improves recovery time, mental sharpness, etc.)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
As a body builder, I would have to say you guys are idiots. Your body needs protein on a daily basis and you are more likely to die of heart failure if your body is not supplied with nutrients. If you want to loose weight, just work out and eat right, it's not that hard.
It's not about losing weight, it's more about reconnecting with everything that went into evolving, creating and building your body. If you're a body builder you might really enjoy it. Try it for 3 days and see if you like it, then go for 5, then 10.
As for the heart-failure, the body is built to handle periods of extended hunger. Part of the water I drink is plain carbonated water, because the minerals seem to keep my stomach from turning.
Greetings CrystalAura! Our videos come up next to one another in Youtube searches. I have enjoyed your fasting video blog. Keep up the wonderful work pursuing physiological liberation!
That's really interesting. You have a very active mind and I wonder if you're more attuned to your body and can adapt easily into a fasting state. I find that everything works better after a fast, especially the mind.
Hi Crystal, I want to start on a water fast just to clean me inside out but I find it hard I'm 16 yrs old and I'm weak the first day is that normal and when do you start to feel good?
Hi Eri586, yes it is normal to weaken during a water fast. When you've gone through the roughest phases on detox on a water fast, you start to feel good afterwards. The coating on the tongue thins/goes away. Fasting is smoother if significant cleansing has been done prior to it, such as by eating fresh fruits and greens for a few weeks beforehand. Either way, you will weaken, and old waste matter and debris will make its way out.
Hi Crystal. Ive been fasting for 3 days and I woke up with a strange coating on my tounge like that tounge coating you mentioned in your video. what is that and does it have to do with the fast?
It is a mucous coating. Mucous acts as a barrier to absorbing harmful substances, but they are also caused to form by waste debris of foods eaten. Arnold Ehret writes of it. Continuing on a fast allows the body to detox and out comes the mucous. The ears declog, heaps of mucous leaves via the urinary system, mouth, nose, etc. My nose actually shrunk after the fast, the bottom part of it did. I realized what it was like to truly breathe through the skin, to have a clear nose.
Another comment i wanted to make, from my own experiences, is that you could expect to burn about .4-.6 pounds of stored body fat per day (+ any extra from moderate or light-modrt. exercise. Much of the weight lost is water and will return. A fasting body eliminates sodium and the sodium was causing normal levels of water (and sometimes above normal levels) to be retained. A return to eating will mean a return of sodium, which in turn means a return of water retention, normal and otherwise.
You are sooo pretty. Congrats on your fast. Im on my second day water fast and today is pure hell. I know it gets better as I go along but just today is the hardest and the sleepless nights can be hard.
woops, what I mean by "category of friends" as in "people who are REALLY controversial to the point where people IP trace."
Anyways, I'm rambling again.
But yeah, just to say, anyone out there got a bad back problem? Try skipping a meal or two, and digest. And you'll see the wonders. At least it works for me. Just sharin' hahah
hahha, whao, downrated. i wonder who's watching our converse. seriously, we're not forcing ourselves to anyone. i'm fascinated how people come onto youtube, and go to videos they don't like. makes me wonder. *cakcles*
You'll need to excuse me Tinah. There's much more on YT than it seems. from IP tracing to account hacking. hence I'm trying to figure it all out and why people get so "hateful" for.
an IP (Internet Protocol) is like your "internet address." Every person has an Internet Service Provider, and they assign you an IP address (there are two types). If you're on a router, it's a different story. But I would assume most people just directly connect to their modem, and let it rip.
And when I say "IP tracing," I'm just saying there are people who take the net way too serious, that they'll turn it into serious business, by trying to break into people's privacy, etc.
But yeah, none of us would see each other's IP instantly. You need to "break the rules" and use a tool to "trace IPs." Once you get the IP of a target, you may try and send a virus, etc etc. But if the target's comp is well protected (firewall, etc etc) then there's no way to breach, unless you work hard. But, if you're caught doing all this, you can get into BIG BIG trouble by the authority.
And believe me, I had friends who were IP traced for their controversial topics.
"So if i do a video on Beyonces's incolvement in the occult/illuminati ,there is a high chance that i might be IP traced???"
Nah, maybe not.
I dunno what kind of mood I was in the day I said all this, but I had friends who were victims of being IP traced and whatnot. Kind of annoyed how censorship was trying to come out of the blue.
Anyhow, nothing to worry about. If people do such illegal things, just report it to youtube staff or authority. Perpertrators would be in BIG trouble.
my bad, I had to ramble. But I must say to all the critics; I would recommend that people try water fasting when sick, having heavy wounds, or broken or bruised joint; and the critics will see the major difference of healing.
I'm sick of all this "YOU NEED TO OVEREAT TO BE WELL." ridiculous. been there, got screwed by overeating.
Diets like this give people the wrong idea. Most detox diets aren't proven to work and any weight you lose is likely to be gained back since most of it is water weight due to the lack of carbs you're consuming(which is why people on low carb diets think it's some dumb miracle diet when they lose 10lbs in a week.)

ScarFace9797 2 years ago
Yes, fasting or even eating just fruit will bring about a headache for a full day or even a little more than that... just keep drinking water and eating fruit, so it's not too bad, and it will go away soon. Then if you keep up with the lifestyle of not eating sludge foods, you will not experience headaches at all anymore.

How does a water fast work, do you only drink water and have no food? And is this good for your body? I hear a lot of people saying that they do it and i want to find out the positives and negatives about it.
Thanks, Elise=)
eliserocks08 2 years ago
theres two ways what you suggested only drinking water and drinking water before meal during meaL AND after meal every meal
ScarFace9797 2 years ago
Hi Elise! Yes, this is how water fasting works. You rest a lot and drink a lot of water daily until you decide you're ready to eat (and this would be simple, easy to digest foods- fresh fruits or some have steamed veg). It gives your digestive system a rest, and it gives it a chance to flush out. Your skin clears, and you resensitize your taste buds, and most of all, you release mucous. Your body becomes sensitive to chemicals afterwards. I have had interesting experiences with that.

One night I had soup with caramel coloring added, and this was after a fast and fruit cleanse, and the next morning I had brown markings on my hands that looked like I had drawn on it with a brown marker. The caramel coloring had surface to my extremities- the hands.

I was amazed that another lady had just completed her 20 day fast, followed by another lady who did her 10 day fast. As they blogged about their days, I became inspired by their strength and resolve. I then knew I could do it too! I, too, had done 5 day fasts before this.
Eating fruits and veg for weeks beforehand helps you get used to a lighter state and to lighter nutrition (from a food source closer to the sun~*). This prior way of eating makes the fast less difficult.

mauvaisjour 2 years ago
Yes, start with lemon juice squeezed over thinly sliced cucumbers, it's super refreshing! You're getting electrolytes as well. Work your way up to sweet fruits slowly- uh, they're not going to be pleasant for a while. Strawberries (any berry) and honey dews (any melon) are awesome. Pineapples- good ones- are great after a fast too. Do this for as long as you enjoy... if you want other foods, go ahead, but the mucous/debris that clogs will return just as it left.

Fasting is not needed for young people.
Just be careful about what you eat and how much.
Enjoy life, socialize with people, be active and enthusiastic in whatever endeavor you have.
Life is meant to be lived.
If you fail to follow good living habit, you will lose your health in just a few months regardless of earlier fasting practices.

I know that you addressed this in some older comments, but I started a water fast a few days ago (I'm on the infamous day 3) , but I started with a sludge diet before going cold turkey into a water fast.
The headache on day 1 was killer, and while the hunger is still intense, I'm doing pretty okay. I wish I could have done all fruit for a few weeks leading up to this because since I've been fasting, all I crave is fruit.
Good job on your fast, maybe someday you'll do an extended one!

Hello Crystal.
I am about to start a 7-10 day water fast, I am a runner and I run almost daily. When you did your fast, did you do any excercise? Do you think it would be possible for me to keep on running every day of my fast? or would this be dangerous?
thanks!:)
venusflytrap7 2 years ago
Hello :)
What will happen on a fast is you will heed the needs of your body. There is no waiting area. You will feel everything it needs. Some people (already cleansed) seem to function almost normally on a water fast. If it is rough on the body you will know it.
I did exercise for the first week. Just squats, boxer abs (circular sit-ups) and non-intensive workouts.
It might be dangerous to run every day. The body takes it easy so that a lot of work can be done within.
yw! Have a nice fast!

Eating nothing but fruit for weeks, doing salt water flushes (too rough, I don't recommend them) and alternating with having grapefruit and lemon juices for three days, and keeping up with exercises. I read literature on fasting and clarified my purpose for fasting. I stayed on it for 10 days though I felt I ended it prematurely.

As a body builder, I would have to say you guys are idiots. Your body needs protein on a daily basis and you are more likely to die of heart failure if your body is not supplied with nutrients. If you want to loose weight, just work out and eat right, it's not that hard.

It's not about losing weight, it's more about reconnecting with everything that went into evolving, creating and building your body. If you're a body builder you might really enjoy it. Try it for 3 days and see if you like it, then go for 5, then 10.
As for the heart-failure, the body is built to handle periods of extended hunger. Part of the water I drink is plain carbonated water, because the minerals seem to keep my stomach from turning.

eri586 2 years ago
Hi Eri586, yes it is normal to weaken during a water fast. When you've gone through the roughest phases on detox on a water fast, you start to feel good afterwards. The coating on the tongue thins/goes away. Fasting is smoother if significant cleansing has been done prior to it, such as by eating fresh fruits and greens for a few weeks beforehand. Either way, you will weaken, and old waste matter and debris will make its way out.

Hi Crystal. Ive been fasting for 3 days and I woke up with a strange coating on my tounge like that tounge coating you mentioned in your video. what is that and does it have to do with the fast?
seven2heaven 2 years ago
It is a mucous coating. Mucous acts as a barrier to absorbing harmful substances, but they are also caused to form by waste debris of foods eaten. Arnold Ehret writes of it. Continuing on a fast allows the body to detox and out comes the mucous. The ears declog, heaps of mucous leaves via the urinary system, mouth, nose, etc. My nose actually shrunk after the fast, the bottom part of it did. I realized what it was like to truly breathe through the skin, to have a clear nose.
crystalAura 2 years ago
Another comment i wanted to make, from my own experiences, is that you could expect to burn about .4-.6 pounds of stored body fat per day (+ any extra from moderate or light-modrt. exercise. Much of the weight lost is water and will return. A fasting body eliminates sodium and the sodium was causing normal levels of water (and sometimes above normal levels) to be retained. A return to eating will mean a return of sodium, which in turn means a return of water retention, normal and otherwise.

What is IP tracing??
CainMartyr 3 years ago
an IP (Internet Protocol) is like your "internet address." Every person has an Internet Service Provider, and they assign you an IP address (there are two types). If you're on a router, it's a different story. But I would assume most people just directly connect to their modem, and let it rip.
And when I say "IP tracing," I'm just saying there are people who take the net way too serious, that they'll turn it into serious business, by trying to break into people's privacy, etc.
wodaospirit 3 years ago
But yeah, none of us would see each other's IP instantly. You need to "break the rules" and use a tool to "trace IPs." Once you get the IP of a target, you may try and send a virus, etc etc. But if the target's comp is well protected (firewall, etc etc) then there's no way to breach, unless you work hard. But, if you're caught doing all this, you can get into BIG BIG trouble by the authority.
And believe me, I had friends who were IP traced for their controversial topics.

Nah, maybe not.
I dunno what kind of mood I was in the day I said all this, but I had friends who were victims of being IP traced and whatnot. Kind of annoyed how censorship was trying to come out of the blue.
Anyhow, nothing to worry about. If people do such illegal things, just report it to youtube staff or authority. Perpertrators would be in BIG trouble.
