Wow! I'm sitting in an airport bar having a beer, and realise I am jealous of you. 36 days! Not many people on earth or in history can say they've voluntarily gone that long without food & only water. Can I ask, how much weight have you lost? Do honestly feel and think the aging process, at least at a cellular level, has halted and even returned in degrees to when you were younger? What other symptoms have you had? or why was it so hard up to the 25th day?
again, well done! I'm not sure hoe to answer the juice question, but think that if you begin to eat lite, or juice, you may have enough energy than to begin an excersize regime to continue to lose weight.

If you are still detoxing and feel fine with no hunger there is no need to stop at 40 days ryjola. If you still have the desire and motivation to stick with the fast until your detox is done and you feel natural hunger again then that would certainly be your best option. If you go to juice fasting then you will continue with the weight loss but it will be a lot slower, and you risk getting cravings for solid food when you start the juice as well. So it really depends how you feel.

36 days is awesome, well done! And good luck continuing towards your goal. :)

Andrew.

Congrats.

What meds did you stop taking, if we may ask?

Congratulations. I suffer from a definite need to fast yet have a fear of fasting. Do you have any helpful words of reassurance? Sincerely, a would-be fellow faster. (I am trying right now for 3 days, starting a couple of hours from now... are you going to be around? Can I post for support?)

I have water-only fasted for 30 days twice in my life and once for 20 days. I ALWAYS had blood tests at the local lab to monitor electrolytes. I went down and had them down myself (no doctor involved). If your electrolytes get out of whack you can have a heart attack. And, long term fasting can and will alter your electrolytes. I always felt fine, even great on my fasts and I never wanted to quit even at 30 days, but when my blood test showed low electrolytes I quit the fast. As a side note, when I quit, I always started eating very slowly starting with a small amount of fresh, juicy fruit. To eat protein would make you very ill as all your digestive enzymes systems are temporarily shut down.

You need to do some more research on fasting and electrolytes. It can be dangerous; just because "you feel fine" doesn't mean you should go on fasting. My hat is off to you, I know how hard it is to do a long fast, but be very careful after 30 days and be very careful how you end the fast or all your efforts will be for not.

I know these posts are kind of old,but I hope you are still around. Did you have any gout issues during this fast? and since you have lost a significant amount of weight have you had any gout attacks. I am doing my first 12 day Water Fast and I am wondering if I will get a gout attack while I am on just water. I hope you have been able to sustain your health/weight loss. finally someone like me out there. Great job.
