 | 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.

 family would have nothing about it.... anyways...YOU HAVE to

 | 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.

 | 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 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. :/

 | 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...

 | 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.

 | 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).

 | 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.

 | 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.
