Nice video.. Thanks for sharing

As a Muslim we fast as well in which we dont eat or drink anything from the crack of dawn to sunset. I dont know if you are familiar with it but we fast a whole month for Ramadan and you can do volunteer fasts year round if you want. I am a little confused though, as to how to do a water fay st, I would like to start one on Monday (God Willingly) and try to do it for at least 10 days. Can you please explain to me (here or in my inbox), how you did your fast?

Great videos! Thanks for posting your journey!

do you think its okay to be on medication while on a water fast? (birth control)

[sweetp888t]

@shellfonez As far as birth control goes....women take BC for many different reasons &not always the obvious...if you are taking it to regulate periods, ease PMS I would stop taking it - as fasting will fix all of this. If you are taking it to prevent pregnancy I would say can you possibly substain while fasting...really you are not going to want to have sex anyway. I know it take a month or so to build back up after you start taking it again but so will you depending on the length of the fast.

From the research that I've done, I should no longer feel hungry after the third day of fasting. I am on my fifth day of water fasting but am still experiencing hunger pangs, is this normal?

[sweetp888t]

@BellaLove09 Ok hungry? Absolute hunger is felt in your throat and similiar to thirst. Cravings are in your head. "Hunger pangs" in your stomach are actually your stomach contracting due to not having anything for a while. Make sure you are continually drinking water throughout the day and not just drink a lot at once and then waiting hours before you drink again. Realize this is a good thing and totally normal...your stomach is shrinking. Let me know if you have any other questions!!

[PotentiallyBeautiful]

should you take vitamins during your fast? and if you are fasting is around half to one hr of walking okay.... meaning the body wont eat up the muscle mass?

[sweetp888t]

@PotentiallyBeautiful The "stores" that your body is burning while fasting have excess vitamins & minerals in SO you do not need to take a vitamin. Some people do. I feel if you over ate and acquired those vitamins then why not use them up now!! Plus it just creates extra junk for your body to deal with especially if your just taking a regular vitamin and not a whole food min processed supplement. Walking - I wouldn't do more than 15 - your not going to want to do more than that...seriously.

[JOEYSPRANKS]

by reserve do you mean fat cause if thats the case does that mean the fatter you are the longer you can fast

[sweetp888t]

@JOEYSPRANKS When we over eat the body stores what we don't burn in the form of fat. this is why we must burn calories to burn the fat. the more calories you have stored up (fat) then the longer you should be able to fast. So yes. this is saying though that the person is in good health & the fast is done correctly.

Hi,

Your page is so inspiring. I just gained 12 pounds over 5 weeks due to depression. I used to work out 5 days a week but i don't find any energy these days. My question is how do I fast. Is there any specific website I can refer to? Thanks.

[sweetp888t]

@johnsnipe Hi John! Sorry to hear about your troubling times :( I hope you find health & happiness soon!! Yes rawfoodexplained has a great section on fasting.  Also check out the links I have in the information part of any of my videos. All you have to do is press the >> (turned 90 clockwise) button up under my video.
