Thanks so much for helping man. I will definatly be taking it as easy as possible not only at work but on my days off as well. I am physically fit but a very slim cut build, I don't have much fat to spare lol. Im 6'1'' 150 pounds.

A couple of other things that concern me are my hunger pangs and candida overgrowth.

Throughout the day if I don't eat or if I miss a meal my stomach feels like its eating itself, it dosn't seem normal I feel I probably have stomach ulcers, a screwed up digestive tract.. something along those lines. Can this be a danger to someone who is going through a water fast?

I have candida overgrowth and have read a few articles saying do/do not fast if you have this condition. This is one of the articles I was reading..

"""Fasting and Candida


Candida is an example of a microorganism. It is normally found in the body, but, when the opportunity exists, it takes over and propagates, affecting the colon, vagina or bladder. Much of the harm done by Candida results from its waste product, acetaldehyde, which in turn can affect the neurological, endocrine and immune systems. Few chemicals can create as much havoc in the body as acetaldehydes. Acetaldehydes accumulate in the brain, spinal cord, joints, muscles and poison tissues. For this reason, any program in detoxification needs to address the problem of internal microorganisms.

Most microorganisms, including Candida, live on sugar. The more Sugar they get, the more they propagate. The problem is that everything turns to Sugar except protein, and even juice fasting supplies sugars to the blood. Water Fasting is the solution. If they do not get enough sugar, microorganisms become dormant allowing the immune system a much easier time destroying them. A restricted juice fast using green leafy vegetables, garlic, carrots, beets and apples will help continue the healing through boosting the immune system.

Add fresh ginger root to fruit juices and garlic to the veggie mixtures. A Candida diet will include many salads and veggies combined with supplements and herbs. Most health food stores stock herbal formulas and supplements for parasite reduction such as caprylic acid tablets and molybdenum. If taken at bedtime with water, chopped garlic will not cause any breath odor. Throughout the night, the garlic will slowly release the antibacterial substances into the colon.

You can Water Fast with cayenne pepper and freshly juiced ginger root in an all-out attack against parasites. Longer Water Fasts are brutal to parasites, increasing the factors that make the body an unfriendly environment for growth and reproduction, such as low blood sugar, increased toxins in the blood and an immune system working at full intensity."""""


As you can see this article encourages people to Water Fast to get rid of candida, what are your thoughts on the matter? Thanks again for your help

Hey all,

Yesterday went by very well and to be honest Im suprised it was that easy.. I only had slight urges to eat food though they went on throughout the day non-stop. One part that was hard was some guy I work with said "come eat now, I just made a barbeque there are plenty of burgers". I kinda wanted to punch that guy out for tempting me >< lol. Then again I suppose its my fault because Im not informing anyone of my fast unless its necessary.

The worst part so far was when I woke up today (day 2) I was thinking about some breakfast right away and my stomach was growling. Its nothing thats going to break my fast tho, Im sure I can deal with the urges to eat food.

You guys were saying that urges to eat stop after day 2-3 right?

Hey Chris I read that article you linked me to and it was very informative, some parts were slighty confusing because they kept explaining everyones opinion on the subject.

One of the topics I was looking for some insight on was elimination of the toxins you accumilate while fasting. In the article some people said "eliminate them or you'll die through re-absorbtion" others said "don't do anything your body will eliminate them eventually". What is your opinion on this? For me an enima is out of the question, I was wondering about herbal laxitive teas.. or even just doing nothing.

Another topic I need some info on is how much water to drink, Im used to drinking over a gallon a day but the article said only drink when you feel thirsty. I drank about 1/10th of what I usually drink yesterday.

I couple other questions I wanted to throw out there:

-How long do you guys recommend I go for? I want to cure as many health problems as possible.

-Is it normal that I ALWAYS have a hungry feeling in my stomach? I mean all day long yesterday and all day so far today.


Once again a HUGE thanks to everyone who is helping me out
