Fasting

Has anyone on here done it? DH and I are starting today. I plan to just cleanse my system and start eating clean, and my husband is going to do a more extensive approach.


I tried about 3 months ago but I just got too focused on needing to eat rather than just letting it go. Any tips or advice? Thanks!

How long are you fasting for?

I'm doing 3 weeks, if I can make it. My husband is doing forty days.

What kind of fasting? Every year I fast from sun up to sun down for a month lol. But I think you probably are talking about something else?

3weeks is far to long without food. 40 days is terrifying.

I am starting my clean eating today as well. I didn't fast first.

I'd really recommend looking into a juice fast as opposed to just fasting. Much healthier. Invest in a juicer, it will be worth it. Watch the documentary , "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead", its on Netflix

To me it sounds like she isn't eating at all. I couldn't manage the sun up to sun down because I love stuffing my face with food. But at least you eat at night.

Yeah. No food. Just water.

DH has done his before and lost a ton of weight. We've both been cleared by our physican to attempt it, as long as we check in with him weekly.

Ohh.

Wow I don't think that's very healthy lol.

I wake up early and have a small breakfast and then at night when the sun goes down we have a meal (feast lol). I usually lose a bit of weight and generally feel better at the end of the month. It's hard to stuff your face when you're that hungry.

We have a juicer, but we're doing a whole system cleanse before we start eating clean.

We talked to our physican and as long as we check in with him weekly, he's fine with us doing it. As soon as I am symptomatic from hypoglycemia, I will eat to maintain it. But that's all.

And when you start eating again and gain it all back then what?

That seems likely to me. Isn't it technically a 'crash diet' or whatever?

I'm going to be eating clean, so there won't be a chance to gain it back.
