Hi Waterfast man! I fast regularly on just water and know that when the kidneys start eliminating they tend to hurt a little or a lot. But the great news is that once the kidneys are nice & clean you really start feeling that wonderful sense of vitality and youthful energy. Like you have been fine tuned. My longest fast so far was 14 days. I am starting a fruit day tomorrow and then on to juice and then water. Recently moved countries and have fallen off the band wagen a little in the process.

You shouldn't fast at 14.  You need the nutriets and vitamins to grow at that age. Its really dangerous to fast when you aren't fully grown.

Wait until youre 18~19 before starting to fast, or else you could stunt your growth and development.

Listen to toffeeapple Alimorel i was reading in a book that most likely toxins hadn't had a chance to accumulate un such a young body yet

[mospotski]

urine fast is the best way to go

[MilleHiighPie]

Im starting a water fast and well I think I might have to throw in a tea or some kind of flavor in my fast so I dont go bindging.

[UniversalTruths]

If it's Herbal tea it should be O.K.

Obviously if you were having English tea with milk and sugar it probably would defeat the purpose of the fast.

thanks this is so useful i want to fast , i heard should i drink warm salted water is this true ?

[317crystal]

drinking salt water is used for some people to aid weight loss, but only because it acts as a diuretic [laxative]. it can be pretty intense, and actually very very disgusting.

[pheonixphire]

diuretic and laxative are not the same..

diuretics make you pee off excess water..and laxatives makes you shit.

im on my first day, so stoked!!

wow annta127 thats funny, im excited!

[jetlaged]

got the same thing here, feel like kidneys a bit more than back though. maybe im paranoid

[annya127]

Wow ... This is my 5th day and I have back pains as well. Except the pain alternates between my lower and upper back. Also, I noticed my calf and other leg muscles aching a lot during the night :( In any case, I do feel much more peaceful and "clean", and yes you really DO learn to love water. I even boil it and it tastes just as good as tea.
