I do a 7 day fast about once every 8-10 months.Fasting on it's own is OK but through experience, I find the following helps...- aerobic exercise first thing in the AM each day - although day 6 is as far as I've managed this- a steam room for 30 mins each afternoon - plenty of psyllium husk to ensure you are flushed out from within- coffee enemas - every other dayAll of this helps get the toxins out. Without it, the effects of the fast aren't nearly as profound.It also helps to be around other people that are doing it. I can't imagine fasting at home. But go somewhere everyone is fasting and it becomes almost fun.Perhaps the worst part as a coffee drinker is you get headaches on day 2 from the caffeine withdrawal - I always promise myself not to get back into coffee - but that rarely lasts more than a couple of weeks.
Fasting is like eating 0 meals and only drinking tea?Aren't the mussolims and chews fasting so their healthier tiny tit bodies can achieve world dominance - seems worth a try.
"A study suggests..."From the National Fasting Institute, perhaps?
That's interestingWhere can you go where everyone is fasting? The Middle East?I always thought tea and coffee (black) were fine to drink while fasting?
How'd that "fasting" work for them about 70 years ago?
Fasting can be very spiritual. I do it every so often. Im due for one. I love the mental clarity it gives me. Love it. Many in Bibke fasted including Christ himself.
Bibke sounds like a Nebrew version of latkes.

Yeah, nothing feels better than breaking your food addiction. I feel amazing around 36 hours in.

Fasting is great on so many levels. I've done the 30+ hrs and yeah great mental feeling. Still wanna try to go for 48 hrs one day.
This is another reason it's hard to believe the bodybuilding dogma... I look a lot better after fasting, zero muscle loss (I might even be stronger after).Eat every two hours...
