40 Day Water Fast - Day 1 - Let's Have A Drink ~ Water Fasting Documentary

[ChelseaBobcat]

starting a 3 day water fast tonight! oh so excited and so nervous!! i watch videos of people going through what im going through to keep myself on the path to success! :)

[NaturalDoll4b]

@dgleed89 LMFAO!! I dying over here

[yungmula35]

I am starting 24hour water fast now then im going to have eating apples and bananas and then continue again for 40-hour fast then ill weogh myself to see if i get any results. Starting slow b/c ive never rlly fasted before

[BUCKWHEATPI]

a water fast is a return to ecstasy . 

[DragonsREpic]

mmm pie!!!

ok im going to nip this fast bs in the butt right now

fasting is baisicly not eating, ppl are like cars, need fuel the catch is that you need it to surivive, good luck on your death! oh and btw if you do survive, your body takes energy from fat, then starts eating musle tissue, then goes after the VITAL organs

[xXSnowflakezXx]

@DragonsREpic Hahaha! Actually you are thinking of starvation. There are many different types of fasting but the main 'real' type would be a water fast. Your body can survive ages without food, but only 3-4 days with no water. Fasting is GREAT! There are soooo many benefits, which you should really research before making your preconceived notions. During your fast, you may look tired and run down, but after it's over you will look 10 years younger. :P do some research or try it for yourself....

[Jzzmus]

@DragonsREpic Where are you getting your information from? As most of it is false.

[DragonsREpic]

@Jzzmus (water only) fasting = only water = true

only water = no food = true

no food = death (depending on avalible energy/calories stored)

if no food, then the body takes energy from fat/muscles ect. = loose weight =diet

sounds like a religious/spiritual diet, what am i missing this time?

[director2555]

I am starting a water fast for 4 days today!

[drtusi]

THANLU DAVID BLAINE ABOVE THE BELOW!!!!!

[AidaRosariox]

@FutureWweChamp HAHAHA! SERIOUSLY! OOOOW!

[PhoenixZebra]

i am going on my first fast tomorrow it will only be a day long so i can see what it's like. very excited but i am nervous that my family will think i'm anorexic, but i know it's totally different.

[azkeyz]

You've got about 3 to 4 days to live with no food.

[lucidtv]

@azkeyz Hum... maybe you should watch the day 21 video... or from my second fast, the day 26 video... It's amazing for so many and routine for so many others. love and light

[VieDmarde]

@azkeyz Lol wrong

[tripvids420]

@azkeyz

WRONG

[TKandIsaac]

@azkeyz

hah, i just finished my 23 day water fast.

^ _^

[CoIoRearte]

@TKandIsaac do you have any tips to stay "calm"? I tend to get very anxious without food :(

[pvtjamesryan3]

Only water for 40 days?

What a fucking retard.

[rockcityaudio]

you know the Thai diet is very very healthy and having trained with Thai fighters in Bangkok I can say that they are very strong.

[rockcityaudio]

Looks like a beautiful place bro,how are you doing now?

[chrismd00]

Why do you think that toxins are stored up in the body? Where are they? Do you realize you make toxic byproducts of ketosis while fasting?

[SkepsisDub]

in theory shouldnt water fasting help beat cancer?

[TopHatKitty]

I'm fasting today to see what it's like. I hope to do it for a longer time, but today is just a test run.

[facelessfatloss]

Jen: Courtney was not water fasting. It was a different form of cleanse due to her blood sugar issues and for shorter duration, and we used salt water flushes.

[saik0pod]

make a playlist of your 40 days

[gavTate40fast]

Fasting and prayer go hand-in-hand. This fellow doesn't seem to mention Jesus or anything spiritual. I find it a bit odd and pointless. Fasts are meant to be done in secret if possible and not to be bragged about (I have done the forty day Jesus pre-ministry fast twice, asking God the Father to send and outpour his Holy Spirit on South Africa and then for Swaziland respectively. I don't boast about it however.) This guy should pray because amazing things hpn. 

[duckgirl1988]

@gavTate40fast Not everyone shares your religious beliefs. Fasting for health benefits is in no way wrong. Please keep your judgments to yourself if your so closed minded.

[SkepsisDub]

@gavTate40fast lol you just did accprding to your standars of boasting haha another christian hypocrite good job!

[zcutbait]

thats gotta suck...fasting in pie. good luck with that.

[hawkin51]

some1 plz reply im 16 184lbs 5ft10" male. can anyone who has fasted b4 tell me if it would be wise to start a ast in the middle of the school year will this affect any of my thinking or m grades some1 reply cause i think i should start this summer

[zcutbait]

@hawkin51 all i know is you will lose muscle mass. i had the same problem as you. then i started wrestling 2 months ago. i started out at 175, now i weigh 155. if youre lazy, or have constant social commitments it may not be for you. my school we are a division 4 out of 4 so we are in a realy easydivision,but we still train 3-4hrs a day 6 days a week.

[ThePickleinajar]

@hawkin51 only for about the first three days.

[OzJenj88]

1:30 - 1:40 Awkwaaaard. xD

[cheetahlikescheese]

stick some pants on no one needs to see the legs and stuff

[minamikaze777]

im inspired and for my own reasons i will be fasting next 3 days !

wish me good luck !

[SDAddario88]

I'm fasting as well. I don't know if I can go 40 days, but i'm going to try. I have fasted before, and I could never get past the three day mark. But I'm determined to go at least a week.

[True2TheBlueYoViGang]

@SDAddario88

hey listen to me... u have to break the fast... if u do this stuff u need to know at the end u have to BREAK.. now let me tell u this. I've fasted for 2 days, then i began trying to push myself and i went 3 days and then 4... after day 3 if u drink lots of water on day 4 u loose ur apetite but keep ur cravings and ur digestive system actually SHUTS DOWN!!! the next time i ate ALOT omg.. the fucking pain.. i was so weak even after eating then bloated hurt and gasy...be careful bro..

[True2TheBlueYoViGang]

@True2

im not kidding i broke the fast during work by eating a big meal becuase i felt weak... wow was i a fart factory the indegestion was nuits.... i even ate crakers before going to bed the prior night and got gas... literally i had no gas until i ate crakers to break the fast. I feel if i would have broken the fast with a direct big meal (instead of crackers) i would have suffered great pain.. cuz in the past (2-3 day fasts) i've broken them with a big meal and wow was it painful

[Ifonly67]

You say you 'flush out toxins' but when you eat your body will only absorbs the things it needs (and yes if you are eating alot of fat, your body will think you need it so it'll store it) but it will 'flush out the toxins' anyway, thats why you poo. Your poo is waste that your body doesn't want and every 2 days or so your intestines limning rip off and are excreted as poo and a new clean layer is formed. If you don't eat food, what do you think will help carry this matter out of your body?

[therealonethistime]

@Ifonly67 Toxins, not always large physical matter, are stored in the lipids of our bodies. Fasting is the only way to release them, allowing the toxins to be purged.

[jesuzizinmybedroom]

toxins. such a very vague term

[iCannotbeLoved]

i am also doing a fast, keep up the good work & discipline :)

[wwsangus]

im doing this just done day 1 im feeling the burn !

[jazz1bro]

Hello,

I started five days ago at 222pounds and on Day five of the water fast with aerobics...45 min daily of walking and jogging, I'm down to 204 pounds. I was in very good overall shape for years prior to getting fat..so maybe that helped my weight loss.

[STARSHINE852]

@jazz1bro You didn't feel tired or weak? I walk 30 mins twice a day and do the exercise ball and 5 LB weights. I was wondering if I had to stop that routine so I wouldn't feel dizzy. I also run a daycare. I was thinking of quiting the exercise routine just so I can keep up with the daycare.

[jazz1bro]

@STARSHINE852

Th eproblem is that you are too stressed working with Children and the inherent other situations. You need to actually not to work and do the fast while not under stress. Me, I have to live like a hermit as much as possible . Any school sytem has to be more challenging due to the increasing breakdown of the dominant societies. Yes I did feel weaker,,just adjust.Instead of jogging ..walking etc.I'm getting ready to fast again and not put a limit on it. Seek a balance always.

[ActionBastard85]

granola crunch bars are so cute . . . I can see maybe fasting for a week but, forty days?! Just work out.

[AstroPopStar]

can i get drunk while water fasting ?? will it make me gain weight and i know drinking on an empty stomach is `bad dont really care is doing e or coke gonn differ while fasting thanks should i stick to vodka and not drink beer or any chasers???

[Bunomous]

@AstroPopStar Beer has calories so you would ruin your fast

[cdwaik]

Your water fasting videos are going to be very helpful for me, I am going to start water fasting tomorrow, I've had experience with previous diets such as low calorie diets, even though I understand water fasting is not only meant for losing weight. :D

[colloredbrothers]

You have never water fasted but you are going to fast 40 days ????, pretty much bullshit. You have to gradually intensify

[UniversalTruths]

He says he has fasted before, just not this long.

[AutopsyReport22]

Some sadness may be necessary. I learned in my anatomy class that the brain does not want to be in a state of constant euphoria, and will circumvent any attempts to put it in that state. Plus sadness helps us to appreciate more the few good times that we have. I've been sad a long time, but I think it's made me a better person somehow compared to some of the other ppl I'm around.

[LosingweightTeen]

I think on January 5th 2010 I'm gonna start a water fast :)

maybe not as long as yours, but say 21 days or something!

[ladyluck092795]

Hey me too, right after winter vacation

[FrozenIceCweam]

lol.

[titoferni29]

Hey! I used to live there! I can't wait to see the rest of your vids:). I am fasting right now too. I feel pudgy too, to much bad food during opening my last business:(

[betsall]

your a fuckin liar

[lucidtv]

And you subscribe to CBS for your truth?

What am I lying about?

[swartzzz]

why don't you starv... errr... fast for 80, 180, 1000 days?

Hell, why not fast for the rest of your life right???

Can you imaging the THINGS you will see then.

'Comon get right to it!

[centervilletn]

ive noticed that i feel terrible for the first 3 or 4 days....and once the sugar is gone from my system ...although i feel hunger its not overwhelming..and my body feels much better

[nikki6493]

@centervilletn I felt the very same way... i felt horrible-cannot really explain the feeling, but it was not hunger...what can it be?? Any idea?? trying to find an answer to it but no avail so far...

[truthwillprovail]

the horrible feeling is your body pulling toxins out of your; brain, kidneys, liver, lungs, intestines. when these toxins get pulled out you experience headaches, and aches and pains. these are all great symptoms, because it means you're detoxing. old injuries can start to ache, because your body starts to break down the old built up scar tissue around the old injuries. scar tissue causes stiffness and pain, so its a good thing!

[youngfred116]

yeah. what truthwill said and get a some books on fasting to better understand the process your body goes through. toxic relief by don colbert is one of my favorites

[Ecointube]

im so glad to see someone approaching a fast from a knowledgeable place.

[noisetteflare]

it's beautiful there!

[apocalypse775]

and then you will start seeing things and eventually die.

[BaileyLush]

@apocalypse775 Lmao.

[lauriem1967]

Namaste

[Juliethelittlegypsy]

I water fasted many times, from one day up to 40 days one year. I still do 21 days a year...Good luck!

[jp55418]

only water that CRAZZY!!!

[IamDemetri00]

Distilled water or spring water?

[paul8kangas]

Good luck. I just finished a 9 day fast on urine, vitamin C & water, while I was sleeping on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's front steps. Protesting the Afghan war.

[algamour]

J'ai crus que tu es un con musulman toi meme et maintenant tu dis laughing at a muslim girl si comme tu ne le sais pas quand ton prophet bois alboul???!!! yakhi l'epocrite yakh

[algamour]

Tu ris sur ton prophete? sale arabe!

[BlueSkyPinkClouds1]

I fasted in secret when i was 16, (because my parents would never allow it). I managed 9 days, with no food atall, just water. It was so hard because people kept trying to offer me food, not knowng i was fasting. The only reason i gave up after 9 days was because someone offered me some food and i just couldn't resist anymore. I was planning to start another one in the next few weeks (in secret again). Anyone got any tips on getting people to stop giving you food?

[Ubuntufrog]

ah man that happened to me when i was tryin to do a master cleanse, u just gotta say "no thanks i'm good" or just avoid them if theres food around.

[XemodisasterofluvX]

say you already ate or say u cant eat what they r offering bcuz of dietary reasons i hope this helps

[cheetahlikescheese]

@BlueSkyPinkClouds1 XD im ur age atm and gonna fast when peeps offer u food all i can say is tell them ur fasting

[LosingweightTeen]

Oh wait(prior too my last comment) I've done research and I'm actually fine too fast, I'm going to start tommorow! I'm pretty excited!

[LosingweightTeen]

I'm planning to do a water fast, not at the moment as I don't think I'm healthy enough for it and my metabolism sucks! I've done a fast before but then I got apendicitis(don't know how to spell it) then got my appendics out, I did lose a lot of weight then but I got told to eat properly(I honestly don't understand it because I was overweight) and that was just a year go in 3 days.

But anyway I'm up for it again!

[JTDeBolt]

Hello! First of, hats off to you and your commitment to your health. I did an all-organic-juice fast, and it was excellent. VERY challenging, but well worth it, and plan to do another in February.

Best of luck and keep us posted. Looking forward to your future vlogs! (and stay away from the popcorn!)

~JT

[TheHuentel]

Hi. I'm going on a water fast soon. And I could really use someone to talk to, as I don't know too much about this! I think I'm just going to try for a week, maybe even two weeks. What are the dangers by doing a long-time fast?

[isaacveidt]

in the worst case you'll get a constipation and youll have to kickstart your digestive systems by having a doctor shoving some kind of object up your arse. i'm on my third day of fasting now, and i'm considering just eating an occasional fruit so i keep my digestive system active.

[jenp27]

can you do oil pulling while on a water fast?

[m4x0rz1337]

I wouldn't, a bit will always end up going down

[makeupbynumbers]

I think people should start slowly on this kind of thing. Don't go from eating garbage to not eating for 40 days. Try on day and then 2. And work your way up from there eating healthy in between.

[nefertum]

Yes that's true, actually the best thing is to do a water fast of only 3 or 5 days, just to see how your body and mind react to that. If you are satisfied with the way that turned out, you can then launch a 30-40 day water fast.

[kylie43122]

what do you get at the end of the fast

[Gr33nBlaze360]

Im starting a water and fruit fasting for about a week tomorrow i hope i can do it

[anita77771]

I've started today!

Only, I drank a lemonade sweated with steavia. I hope that's OK.

[plutoplatters]

Oh no.....that's completely wrong..

it should have been " stevia"

[NorrisChuckling]

That's dedication, man. I'm on day two of my water fast, and it's going pretty well. Not too many hunger pangs. I think I will moderate my fast to include raw vegetables and a little fruit in a few days. I'll be donating blood and taking some exams soon, so starving myself for such demanding tasks probably isn't very wise!

[nanaz96]

would it be ok for a 13 year odl to water fast?

[thecrass79]

no.

[iluvpho2]

why?

[crass770]

because the body is not fully developed and on average you loose 1-2 pounds of muscle mass, and kids in general dont need to water fast. It can be very dangerous if not done right, vitamin deficiencies, muscle breakdown, blood-sugar problems,, the list goes on..better wait until you are mature and know how to handle it mentally and physically able to handle it

[ScreamingHell3]

As long as it is less than 7 days

[mikelund534]

Hello Brother, over the last year I have fasted a half dozen times, but never more than four days. I plan to make it as long as you in the coming years. Thanks so much for the inspiration!!

[xthesexxx]

40 days!?

[RiouInsuiko]

Really? Atleast 1/4 of your weight loss will be muscle tissue... thats not healthy.

[theblueo1]

Wouldn't that kill you? Don't you need at least a little nutrition?

[BeNyaMa1976]

what a hippie douchebag...but the fast is a good idea.

[MarijuanaGood4U]

0:31

[keeblerelf117]

im 16, is this healthy for me?

[punkday182]

Yoga practises should all be done from the age in which you learn how to speak, but the fasting of food and/or water should not be done till atleast 18-21 years of age. You need your nutrition until your body grows as tall as you can.

[littleredbirdy]

But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Just a suggestion.

[frogbrewery]

totally agree with that part of scripture, water fasting is like one of the hardest things that a person could do cause ppl crave sweets all the time or sweeten beverages and the taste of water becomes boring u know.

[TiaraSpade]

I've never craved anything sweet as long as I can remember. I crave bread mostly.

Fasting is easy if you're in the right state of mind.

[chestnutbronco]

ive been there!

[Chipexcess]

But if your aiming for a specific goal then you'll most likely last longer. Don't worry you wont just die all of a sudden your body will tell you when it really needs food or water..

[Chipexcess]

Under stress is possible not to last for 1 day without food and water its all in the mind....

[tavita2345]

can it kill you if you go on a water fast for ages? i heard the body can only last 3 weeks without food or something like that??

[peter17dude]

this is a good way to loose all your muscle mass, and imune system.

[vargovic]

no.

[JoeWCal66]

lol.

When you water fast your body conserves protein.

[DeniedHealthCare]

I'm on a semi 500 calorie per day fast that will last 7 days. I lost 40lbs at the start of 2008, but reverted back to my fatty ways. I'm reprogramming my mind and my body. I am stalking myself, learning to enjoy hunger, and overcoming my past addiction to unhealthy food.

[nilbud]

So the irony of fasting in pie doesn't get to you?

[raded]

what is a toxin? what does it look like? what proof do you have that these "toxins" only leave when you don't eat food?

where's the science that proves that consuming only water is beneficial at all?

[blap316]

thanks for posting!

i'm beginning my journey as well for both health reasons AND spiritual reasons. thank you again for this, very inspirational!

[uptownhector]

Good Luck on the water fast I have been doing 3 day water fasts for about 1 month every mon-wed but on the 10th ill be doing a 10 day fast

[xATOMICxDROPx]

water fast? thats retarded

[lucidtv]

What do you eat?

[xATOMICxDROPx]

Raw Foods

[yogayak]

How do you react when people say that Raw Food eating is retarded? (I'm lucidtv also, was mis-logged in yesterday).

I'm very much hoping to try raw foods as well. I just find the change from a "normal" North American diet to a more healthy one very difficult. Fasting resets my food clock.

[georgefaltus]

hey 12 kingdomhearts incase u didnt know cause u are only 5 years old u can be skinny fat too u dumb fuck do some reaserch before u judge u little faggot!

[kirrabeachbum]

can water fasting help with side effects associated from previously taking pharmaceuticals?

[Lehmann108]

Dude, that is some tough tapas! But you look to have a kapha body type which will make it easier for you.

[mobilelizard]

hippy

[WaterFastProgress]

I started Monday and have videos up :)

[SoCalAnglophile]

If you water fast, do some weight training during the same time, nothing extreme, but enough to break a sweat. Otherwise you'll burn up your muscles but leave fat, and at the end of your fast you'll just be "skinny-fat".

[afib]

actually when you water fast or rather when your cleansing you have to cut down your activities. no exercises during water fast.

[jimmyjam9014]

um nooo

fat is energy reserve

ur body will eat ur muscles for the glucose(sugar)

if u want to lose wieght have a healthy diet and do ur resistance and interval training

[pookoos]

Wrong. Your body will use mostly fat, and some muscle, but the majority WILL be fat. Your body is designed to burn fat and can create ketones from fat. Likewise, when you eat you gain fat AND muscle fiber. Don't listen to all the crap about how your body scavenges only muscle and then puts on only fat. That's not how your body works.

[jimmyjam9014]

wrong ur fat is extra energy, ur muscle have glucose, an essential part of the body. look at anorexic ppl they workout all the time but look how frail they r

[xPixelatedxMemoriesx]

aneroxic continue to not eat anything, thats why the have no muscle or fat, if you give yourself a certain amount of time to fast and don't continue on it after you pass that number of days, then it you will be fine.

[4st5lbs]

im just about to do 40 days aswell :D

[latrealhayden]

I plan to water fast soon but I am not going to do 40days right away. I am thinking of doing it for a week first and then incorporating more fruit and vegetables into my diet.

[nietzsche19]

Did u remain alive ? What happened to you, man? We just see u at the beginning, but the result is what matters.

[unperfectisback]

This inspires me alot thanks

[Brainmold]

What about day two? LOL.

[fireworkfreak67]

he died

[chezruss]

how did you get on with your fast?? i couldnt find your other blogs. hope it worked out ok

[fntime]

This man doesn't know enough about fasting or proper eating. Water fast are dangerous, too much detox to soon for the body to get rid of. This put stress on the kidneys. If you water fast over a weekend that is OK. Try juicing, it will slow the detox process down,not stress your body. There are book on juice fasting. It will give your digestive process a rest. It will detox without over stressing & will ad nutrients at the body may require. I do this twice a year for 3-4 weeks.

[blackeyedlinda]

i'm on my 6th day of water fasting, i'm doing 10 days and i feel good except from that nomatter how much i drink i feel dizzy, i'm having trouble sleeping and i'm soooo tired :( ... soon i'll be able to drink juices though and eventually begin on my new healthy diet :)

[pikasoll]

Very insightfull. Thank you!

[eza555]

thanks for posting this. You're really clear and informative.

[imbigloser]

not rly. after your fast u need to end it with raw veggies ect. all organic and try to have small portions. and to not gain back work out 3 days a week stay away from fast food/junk food and try to control what you eat. when ur not hungry you dont need to eat. but eat like 5 times a day just small portions.

[FENGYTANG]

water fast is very hard

[seanph1]

I have thought about a detox..thou I have thought more about the lemon juice detox....be honest..are you going to do any laxative teas or enemas? I have only done few day detox and then enemas helped me a lot.
