This is a reply to # 1,196,560I fasted for 3 days (20 hours) and I have a noticed a huge difference in my appetite. I don't necessarily crave healthy food but I feel turned off by most junk food that I used to shovel in my mouth (counting the calories of course).
My appetite has practically diminished. I'm going to do another short stint starting on Friday.

This is a reply to # 1,196,563I think everyone is different and fasting NOT always helps with that problem. It mainly helps to detoxify your body and has an aspect of a spiritual thing. Of course after ur fast is over your body start craving for healthier food but, at the same time, the tendency that you will eat everything within ur sight increases as well.. I always thought ppl who have a tendency to overeat and eat without stopping should not go at least for a prolonged fast UNLESS they sort out that issue. Because after your fast is over the desire to eat is much higher than before and it is SO easy to mess up everything.
And plus being just 5 pounds overweight doesn't seem a big deal for me. Your weight gain seems to me just something emotional which has happened with you recently. So I do not think fasting will help you with that if it is a case. But if you still decide to fast (for example to detox ur body a bit) first of all try to understand the REASON behind ur non stop eating (and sort it out before ur fast). Because no point to 'fight' with symptoms of a problem if you don't know the name of it.

This is a reply to # 1,196,607I have to disagree Nadia. I think fasting should be the first option considered to help with any problem and only discarded as an option in extreme circumstances. The need to binge after a fast isn't as common as some people make it sound. A correctly conducted and ended fast doesn't have to be like that at all. Fasting IS a great way to break bad eating habits and go cold turkey on foods that aren't good for us. It has worked that way for me for sure.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,196,560I totally know where you're coming from and part of the reason I started a fast was to break the bad habits and try to reprogram myself a little more. It's a long process, it goes inch by inch...
In my experience, the answer is maybe and it all depends on where your head is at. If you fast with food heavy on the mind, think about it, dream about it, when you break, you may binge... maybe with healthy foods at first but eventually back to old habits.
I'm doing my best fast ever because I'm mentally relaxed about food as well. I'm not dying for something. When I do think about food, I notice how "hunger" goes away and how I can have normal energy and feel good without food, etc. I want to keep the state of mind that I can take it or leave it when it comes to food so I'm noticing that but otherwise not paying much attention to food. Some thoughts... hope this helps. :) - Re: food obsession Fonty

This is a reply to # 1,196,560Yes it certainly can riseabove. Focus on how you will break your fast rather than on the days not eating and stick to your resolve in breaking it and you will achieve your goal.
Good luck and take care,
Andrew.
