Did you get the tongue coating on this fast?

[sweetp888t]

@tbdconfident Just a small amount - not like the first time....barely anything though

[pirucreek]

Still no more hunger pains. Made the mistake telling my sister I was doing fast and she got mad at me. I know you are a Low Fat Raw Vegan, hope you don't get mad at me but my last meal was 1/2 lb of smoked salmon trimmings, nothing else. It could be the reason I had no problems in day 1 or 2 since fish fat is similar to human fat and is salty. Love you videos watch a couple a day. did you say you are going to do an eyes video?

[sweetp888t]

@pirucreek Yes that might make the glycogen levels much higher and going into ketosis might take longer - the transition into ketosis is usually the hardest part so stay strong & just keep doing what your doing. The eyes video will be coming - its just a theory I've heard and a bit of evidence but I need to get more info before I do the video. very exciting stuff!!

[boitenvalise]

today is day 2 for me and it's going well. Thank you for all your help.

[sweetp888t]

@boitenvalise YAY for Boitenvalise!!! I was hoping we were going to get a number out of you!! Congrats on day 2!!!! How are you feeling and how long do you think you will go or just taking it a day at a time? Glad to hear you are pushing through!! Keep us posted!!

[paulsimonpaul]

You are such an inspiration. I love your enthusiasm and big heart :)

I'm on day 2 of my 3rd water fast. Not decided yet how long this one will be.

My last water fast was about 1 year ago. I did 8 days.

Wish me luck. lol

[my3nme1]

*30 day

[my3nme1]

Starting a 30 water fast today. The longest I've gone has been 30 days. I'm a mother of 3 and a wife to a vegan. How will I still continue to cook meals throughout the day and not get the urge to eat? Any suggestions?

[rawvegan35]

congrats on your first fast. My longest water fast was 45 days. I am water fasting right now.\i enjoyed your videos of your fast. Keep up the good work

[boitenvalise]

@sweetp888t I'm trying to make it to 14 days. Today was exhausting for me. I've literally been sleeping all day.  Good thing I have nothing to do... haha.

[myroadhome]

Congrats, sorry I didnt post a vid... I just went 2 days (struggle, grrr). I want to do a couple more of these and actually make it at least 3 days before sharing on vid. You are great, I really appreciate the inspiration. You are looking beautiful.

[sweetp888t]

@pirucreek Great job!!! I'm so glad you over came that - yes during fasting you can get really dehydrated during the night. I usually keep a huge glass of water next to the bed & if I wake up my mouth will be so dry - if you get up to pee make sure you drink water as well. Later on in the fast I would wake up and my mouth would be a desert - horrible - DRINK IT UP DEARS!!!!

[sweetp888t]

@moreveggiesplease Wow!!!! What a great husband!! Very supportive and you guys are definitley on the same page. That's wonderful!!

[moreveggiesplease]

Great video, Mindy! I think I might throw in a short 3-5 day fast somewhere in the midst of my juice fast. Maybe in a couple weeks if I start getting tired of juice. My hubby said if I make it the first two weeks, he'll do the last two weeks with me! Cool, huh?! So I'm happy. He did one of the other fasts with me, too. I love all the support we get from everyone on here. Looking forward to your next video!

[pirucreek]

Within 2 minutes I was back to 0% hunger. I think the cause was heat. You said be warm so I had a blanket and a comforter on so I was probably over 100 under the covers. I might of dehydrated due to the heat, then my body seeing that gave me a grave alert. Other than that no hunger desire, I might lower my steps to 4000 or whatever. Once you keep wanting to go on.

[pirucreek]

Thanks for the kind words. I hit 259.5 when I woke up. I am on day 4 (really day 4 1/2). However, I had an incident last night. Before last night I have had no hunger desire, I mostly felt like you do 1 hour after you eat a meal. But, last night in the middle of the night I had the strongest hunger desire/pain I have ever felt in my life. I was walking to the kitchen to get some fruit, then the hunger cut by 90%. I laid on the couch and drank some water and put water on my face.
