Have you ever fasted? How was it? Good? Bad? What kind of fast, and for how long? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and, ofcourse, how fast? .. I'll get me coat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
No i haven't fasted. i've been starved though. |
||||||||

Yes i have and do from time to time. I think overall it was good. Although i can't say i have done it enough to draw a dynamic conclusion or anything like that, but i felt more clear and focused. I was in better spirits. It was for around 3 days of not eating anything at all and only drinking water. I started it mainly due to depression (which seems to really be making it's rounds as of late) but after the three days i was back on my feet again. It was an interesting experience and i am probably going to experiment with it more in the future and study or make note of it's mental/spiritual benefits. How about yourself? |

Yeah I'm going to be doing a waterfast for a couple of days... Right now I've been doing juice for three days to tune my body for the waterfast. I've done juicefasting before, but waterfasting is new to me. Right now I feel very healthy, I always do that when I'm on a fast... feels VERY good. I feel very clean... You need to expereience it do know what I'm talking about, but I'm sure you have done that. |

I've fasted. But it was for the wrong reasons, but I still enjoyed it. After day 4 I feel very very good and not even hungry anymore.. then you can go for longer after that day.. well for me. Water fasts are good but if you don't wanna pass out organic juice fasts are better...I've tried both. It's a great feeling, really. |

shit, i should seriously try this, since i live alone... i've tried to do a respectable fast ie; water and bread but family would have nothing about it.... anyways...YOU HAVE to read the hunger artist by franz kafka... it's a short story that will fuck you up... i'll lend it to anyone, drop by and pick up... |

Yes i do. I believe that is where the focus and clairity came from. I also was going for walks and getting out in the fresh air. It was a real pleasant experience. Although i must make a suggestion if i may.... take daily vitamins while fasting. As a 100% water intake will deplete you body of important vitamins and nutriants. Which usually isn't a problem in juice fasting depending on the kind/brand of juice you have. |

I have a feeling you're the only one from Equatorial Guinea around here... ;) |

The only juice good enough is freshly squeezed, but most importantly UNPASTEUHRIZED (not sure I spelled it right though)... It's the only way to do a juicefast. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I buy fruit-juices, but make my own vegetables/greens-juice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wholeheartedly agree with you there. Nothing beats fresh squeezed or home grown fruits and vegtables. I think it's the only way to fly..... although sometimes i buy store bought goods as i am not really much of a green thumb. :/ |
||||||||

|
Have you got a juicer? They're amazing!! I have a juice every morning, apple/carrot/cabbage/orrange and a bit of lemon... totally wakes you up! |

I'm on a fast again (starting today with juices - tomorrow I'll start with water)... After I came home from partying (very much and very hard) in Cypruss (also getting very little sleep) I was in a very bad shape. So now I'm going to let my body rest for a while... The trip to cypruss was not as good as expected but it was worth making... I didn't feel very good (healthy) when I got home though... |

no and i don't plan to |

mmm i misread the topic title.. tought it said fisting :( |
||||||||
|
|

not by choice |

i don't understand -- is it just a liquid diet? if i put my cereal in a blender and drank it, am i still fasting? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe... I think cereal are too dry to become liquid. But yeah, fasting is staying away from food. You let your body get some rest... You feel totally awesome after a fast. you feel light and healthy, full of energy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i had envisioned the cereal with milk in it. but fruits and veggies aren't food? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fruits and veggies are originally (solid) food. You need a blender to mix them (or you can buy freshly squeezed unpasteurized juice if they're available where you live). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so it's only food if it is in solid form. maybe i will go on a milkshake fast! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe... well I think so. I don't know the correct definition but I think of it as food and drink. I don't think it's possible to go on a milkshake fast. I mean maybe for a day, but in the end you will not get enough vitamins/minerals. That's why juicefasting is great. Waterfasting is something like 3 times stronger though. |

ok Key is back on a fast again... the previous fasts (mentioned in this topic) was short ones... This one will also be a short one, lasting (atleast) three days (water only)... Maybe a week if I can. But usually after three days water gets very boring... Plus I drink tapwater =( After three days (previous experiences) tapwater really tastes... tapwaterous. feel free to add comments to this topic. |

tapwater is disgusting where I live. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it's ok here I guess.. drinkable. But I'd prefer clean H2O with nothing but H2O in it. |

fasting is good for you if your already pretty healthy, i plan on doing a juice-fast or just fruits\vegetables in the near future. it really cleans out the system if you do it, its even better for you the more often you do it but trying an absurd length to fast could you know, not be good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I know. My friend did a 100 days fast once (including some water-only periods up to two weeks)... It's a tough business... |
