Have you or would you ever fast?

[beastman88]

have you or already have fasted for personal or religious reasons? I have more then a few times. I find personally it would be beneficial for people to fast a day out of the week. I find it really cleanses me, get rid of all the rubbish in your intestines, mind you I was drinking water during this "fast" and I actually felt a lot better afterwards.

Yes I have but through anorexia. Fasting is not good for your body at all (I'm assuming you mean a 24 hour water fast) if deprives your body of stuff it needs and when you start eating again it does damage.

I'm sure a much better way would be to eat very healthy for a week - only consuming natural organic foods?

24 hr fast isn't detrimental at all, in fact it purges all the toxins and feces from your body its only if you deprive yourself of food on a constant basis is when it starts doing damage to your body and mind.

I used to fast once a month with my vegan ex boyfriend, ha. well I'm not into it that much anymore and yes I agree it does help but I have no time to really do it.

[beastman88]

lol that's silly saying you don't have the time, all you have to do is not eat for a day. doesn't require any time or effort

OH my GOODNESS.

I'm actually water fasting RIGHT NOW.

It's actually my third day and I plan to do it for 30 days because I've been eating a lot of crap food lately and I feel kind've weird and bigger.

[beastman88]

ummm I wouldn't recommend starving yourself for 30 days very unhealthy, and you could start to become malnourished. just make sure you eat your greens, and some fruits to.

[Whatdoithink]

Wtf. You're Not starving yourself it's just like any other fast. Juice Fast or Something that you only eat or drink one of. I talked to my doctor who said water fasts are NOTHING like starving your body. So no. it's not at all like starving.

[beastman88]

you actually asked your doctor if its okay to not eat for 30 days and he said it was okay? just sounds so wrong to me. either your full of it or your doctors a quack.

I have never fasted... I don't think I have the will power to. I love to eat and when I'm hungry I'm generally in a bad mood too. Aren't you?
