Fasting. Anonymous
I'm thinking of doing a water fast for 3 days. A friend of mine recently did, and he said it's given him amazing clarity of thought and perspective. Is there anything I should know/be concerned about before doing it? I'm not a particular fit person, 6' tall and 215 lbs.

Thoughts?

By water fast I think he means having nothing but water, not avoiding water.

No a fast would be a complete avoidance of water.


I hope you die, OP.

Yeah I know, wasn't talking about you. Unless you are the OP. This is ridiculous, though.

A water fast is the complete avoidance of anything BUT water.

I tried it for 10 days once and lost a good amount of weight combining it with light exercise. The first days were extremely difficult but after a while it got easier.

Make sure not to break your fast with anything too heavy, try salads and fruits for a while.

What is a water fast for? Is it for loosing weight or to cleanse the body?

For getting rid of all your muscle.

3 days of water alone would leave you lacking a lot of materials your body needs so I'd think you would get some pretty serious cravings for food. Regardless, try it and find out if it dose anything for you if you're curious enough.
