Im thinking about going on a month long spiritual fast? Has anybody ever fasted before? how does it feel? can you live that long without food?

For some reason in the past couple of months I've been realizing a lot of things from abstaining from vices in my life and i can see things very clearly in my life? So I was thinking about fasting because i think it would teach me self discipline and help me feel what others have to feel when they dont have the money to eat. Also, I've heard it cleans your body so you can think more clearly. From a health stand point I feel like when dealing with your body less is more so i think it will be a healthy experience. has anybody done this before and can you survive that long without food. I have heard fasting is healthy but would like to get more perspective?

Fasting is fucking stupid, It does nothing but deprive your body of things it needs, And the hole ''Spiritual'' side of it just doubles the bulshit factor, You'd be better and healthier just going on a healthy diet as oppose to cutting all food out, But, Its your call.

It won't do you any good though, All it will do is absolutely fucking rape your body's metabolism and completely fuck up your ability to process calories once you start eating again.

Fasting is not healthy. You could die. There are other ways to spiritually connect. Fasting for a month is dangerous. Try a week but even then you would most likely hurt yourself

Im a little weary of it but i think you need to sort of experiment with our bodies to see whats best for example i became vegan and even though its generally excepted that meats good for you I have a lot more energy clearer skin clearer eyes and i have lost no mass so I'm kind of wondering if fasting will effect me for the worst of the better

Oooh, I've also been wanting to do this. I think it can be healthy because it will flush your system out but you might lose muscle mass. It should help clear your skin of break outs and make it appear more glowing. I read it also helps lubricat joints... That's all I can think of for now. ^-^ Don't mind me, I'll also be looking here for answers. xD

It doesn't flush your system. If anything as your body burns through it's far reserved it could cause a large amount of fat soluble toxins to re-enter the blood stream. It's not healthy at all please don't do it. Being spiritual does not mean harming yourself needlessly

[AStoopidPenguin]

It doesn't? I've read so much crap about it on the interwebs... Like 'Top 10 Reasons Why bla bla bla" things. Thank you for letting me know though ^-^

[LetsGoRangers]

Yeah it's just an internet fad /: it's stupid. Thank you please don't do it it's very bad for you and doesn't cleanse you what so ever

[AStoopidPenguin]

Honestly, all I ever eat is junk food... so I think it would make a difference somehow. It'd be a sudden change for my body. And, I didn't say I was going to do it for a month. I think a month is too long. I don't think I'd even do a week. Maybe just 3 days. xD
