What is the best way to get needed nutrients for a 48 hour famine I'm doing?

[Anonymous]

I'm doing a 48 hour famine soon. It's to raise money for starving kids, I've already collected $120 and I want to make sure I get what I need to so I don't get sick. I was seriously considering just raising the money and then handing it in to the charity, but a lot of people looked down on me for it because they said it's cheating. So I decided to go through it after all.

So I need to know since we're allowed drinks what I can drink to keep my body going, or any vitamins I can take and what I can do to make sure I don't lose weight. Would something like chocolate milk or pop be good for that? I'm underweight so I can't afford to lose weight.

Its nice of you to do this but the people should understand that its not healthy to do this. Take vitamins I guess. You need to have smoothies too and mash up fruit and veggies in a blender. I would not do its not a good idea if your already underweight.

Thank you. And yes, I don't see the point in participating in a famine if I am donating money for it. It's not just me, it's in our community and I do charity work. I guess it's to show you how it's like to be hungry. I know High Schools do 30 hour famines ours does, and I think it's stupid to let a bunch of kids starve themselves. This one is at least 18+ I think it should be the thought that counts. The money helps, starving ourselves doesn't.

Yes I agree especially because you are not overweight, why don't they just have a bunch of fat kids do it!

Vegetable Juice, but honestly for 48 hours you don't have too much to worry about, you're body can take it.

I know others said meal replacement protein shakes, but I don't think that's really the point of what you're doing

Protein drinks (I drink muscle milk) or if you want something cheaper just drink chocolate milk or something. Also take a multivitamin (you should do that even after the fast).

Drinks are allowed? Get those meal replacement drinks then. You can find them at any pharmacy store.

One good brand is a meal replacement called "Boost"

Oh yeah, I didn't even think of protein drinks. Thanks. And yes, drinks are allowed. They don't want you to go dehydrated, it's two days.

It's 48 hours... you could drink absolutely nothing (worse case scenario) and you'd be fine. I think anything beyond water defies the rules of fasting. Otherwise, you're just doing something really really phony and lame. You could put veggies in a blender and make a smoothy.. it's not fasting. Just cause you don't have to chew it doesn't make it not-food somehow. Same with juices. Same with vitamins (just cause they're small) etc.. etc..

how about just donate the money and stop making a game out of it and be grateful for the food you have.

[Asker]

Yeah I am not making a game of it. And who says I am not grateful for the food I have? You don't know sh*t about me so make assumptions. Go f*** yourself bitch.
