You may experience discomfort or pain or strange confusing physical things in your fast. I did. But even though I had really bad symptoms in the first 5 days it did not stop me and I am so grateful. I am on DAY 5 of my 2nd fast because I loved the 1st so much. However my first was supervised my medical experts. If you are on your first fast at home (unsupervised by an expert) please be cautious; mostly if you have existing conditions or dis-ease. You can experience heavy thudding heart beat, shortness of breath, stomach aches, nausea, headaches all the way thru. Racing heart and difficulty breathing could be big concerns.
ps; during the day my leg pain is dull, it gets bad at night.

  • Fasting is stupid. It has too many health risks. Would you rather die than lose weight by eating lots of fruits, fibers and other healthy products? You can increase the amount of water you drink, it does speed up the weight losing, there's nothing wrong in that. Conclusion: Fruits, fibers, daily exercise and lots of water. That's what I would do.

  • @finnishmetalfreak ....Ummmmmmm, I didn't die, so..... I guess your wrong about what's good for me.

    I enjoyed it. Glad you know what's good for you. THANK YOU!

  • @akathelawn People don't see themselves in the mirror as they really are, wich is sad

  • i love your voice

  • I cant figure out why a beautiful young thing like you would want to fast.....

  • Do you drink sodas or diet sodas? Have heard of that pain from soda drinkers below.

  • What does your diet look like in between fasts? Could you be doing some dramatic detoxing when you water fast? Isn't that the purpose? Just wondering.

  • @robnk326

    When I would withdraw from caffeine I would get shooting pains in my left big toe for a few days. Er... "different strokes for different folks", I guess.

  • I used to get those pains every time I would detox from MT Dew and soda. Only thing that would help was to sip some dew then quickly the pain was gone for a while.

  • @Air2dig24 yes. just water and no food.
