I am still fasting..Just got tired of posting every day hehe
I am about 130 now
I started at 141.0 ..kinda disappointing but i guess its about right... I usually don't lose more than a half pound per day... uggh so much weight still to lose though...I think I will do intermittent fasting when I lose a lil bit more... Fast all week take weekends off or for special outings that I get invited to. To me it screws it up though and sets you backwards. I just don't want to screw myself up by yo -yo ing back and forth between fasting and food.
Any thoughts anyone?

This is a reply to # 1,232,370Since you are a lower weight and have been going for almost a month what I would do is work on metabolism improvement and refeeding just as planned.
You are doing water right?
Can you do the raw diet?
I think that would be a good follow up since you have been fasting so long.

No I did water for one day ..I cant handle it..I felt like death and lost no weight...LOL. so I digress to my juice..hehe
Yea I was thinking about doing some raw food recipes when I am done..I Love the way the food tastes...and was just looking at the hemp protein powder at the Health food store I want to try out..It's funny I still have to buy food and its like window shopping to me..Oh I cant wait to try this and that it looks so yummy.
I still have more weight to lose though...I like to lose it all at once and go back to weight training and building my muscle up ..ugggh

This is a reply to # 1,232,392Most people continue to lose on the raw food diet.
I would go with that. I think its what will work best for you because of how long you have been fasting.
Did you count your juice calories or anything?

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,232,370Day 25 on juice? You said in some of your previous posts that you have been eating certain things. I think the first thing you have to do is be honest with yourself. There is nothing wrong with eating less calories but it IS NOT fasting.
Good luck to you on your diet as it sounds like you are losing a little weight and reaching your goals.- Re: Day 25 ..still here mindpower

This is a reply to # 1,232,438What is Fasting?
Fasting is a period of abstinence from all food or specific items. Fluids are consumed in sufficient quantity to satisfy thirst and physiologic requirements. During the absence of food, the body will systematically cleanse itself of everything except vital tissue. Starvation will occur only when the body is forced to use vital tissue to survive. Although protein is being used by the body during the fast, a person fasting even 40 days on water will not suffer a deficiency of protein, vitamins, minerals or fatty acids. In the breakdown of unhealthy cells, all essential substances are used and conserved in a most extraordinary manner. There is an unwarranted fear of fasting that strength diminishes from the catabolism of proteins from muscle fibers. Even during long fasts, the number of muscle fibers remains the same. Although the healthy cells may be reduced in size and strength for a time, they remain perfectly sound.
A. J. Carlson, Professor of Physiology, University of Chicago, states that a healthy, well-nourished man can live from 50 to 75 days without food, provided he is not exposed to harsh elements or emotional stress. Human fat is valued at 3,500 calories per pound. Each extra pound of fat will supply enough calories for one day of hard physical labor. Ten pounds of fat are equal to 35,000 calories! Most of us have sufficient reserves, capable of sustaining us for many weeks.Advertisement

Hey thanks for jumping down my throat there. In the beginning i had celery, sugar free jello and plain salad leaves to help with the hunger. But as days go by I no longer needed these things and havent had any of that for a LONG time probably 15 days ago. ( those are all NON calorie foods and I don't think they hindered my progress at all, It helped me get over the hump into the land of dont care about food. I would highly recommend it to fasters who just can't stick with it. Also there is very lil digestion going on with these 3 food items. So i dont call this a big deal) I mean sugar free jello? come on what's their to digest? practically melts in your mouth. I dunno)
How honest do you want me to fricken be? HUH. SHEESH!
Don't answer back , This is the first time since I Have been on curezone I have been met with such anomosity and defensiveness. Your attitude doesn't belong here #79602
Oh and P.S.
The amount of weight I am losing is NORMAL for me. I have completed MANY FASTS and i never lose more than half a pound in a day or less....So doing a 29 day fast with oj and soaked almondes I lost 13 pounds or so.
Doing the master cleanse for 14 days I lost 10 pounds. Only really heavy people tend to lose alot more weight. As I am probably considered underweight so therefore my weight loss unfortunately will be alot slower than others.

This is a reply to # 1,232,657so don't tell us you're on day 25 of a "fast" when you only quit eating 15 days ago. Fifteen days is a long time to go without food so there is no need to lie about it.
Again, you're doing a great job of eating better and getting healthy. Just don't pretend that you've been "fasting" for 25 days when clearly you haven't.
Good luck with your diet.- Re: Day 25 ..still here amberlynn72

Wait just a moment here. YOu are not being fair because ..I was not eating all day long...I was not eating even 100 calories a day ...not even 50 calories a day...and i certainly was not eating the first 10 days .....Out of the whole 25 days I might have had one sugar free jello for an entire day... or a few celery sticks another day ...or a plate of plain leaf salad another day ..certainly NOT all these things every single day all in one day for a duration... It was either one thing or the other and i did that for probably 4 days sporadically out of my ENTIRE FAST...so YES i do think i can say that today is day 26.
If I FRICKEN FASTED ALL DAY LONG and had ONE sugar free jello which btw has 10 calories in it... and that was it? sorry but that's not cheating ...
Or a piece of celery? which has net calories if any at all? a f**ING piece of celery? I HAVE NOT ATE ANY OF THESE THINGS EVERY SINGLE DAY DURING MY FAST ...IT was just a couple a days and I DID NOT EAT ALL THESE THINGS ALL DAY LONG...give me a break...I bet you just about every single person has cheated on their fast ...and did it with things that are absolutely forbidden...Like a piece of pizza or something. So i really think you are really a lil over the top..
How many fasts have you completed mind you? Sorry but you are inferiorating me. Because other than this I have strictly stuck to my fast i would have to say 98% of the time. Not many people can endure this much work. I think it is important psychologically if other's would like to try what I have done here . To get over the hump of WANTING food and to feeling hungry all the time. Which it does just that with very very minimal calories ..Its like eating nothingness. Ur just filling a void til u no longer need the crutch. So anyone who is weak minded and feel they cannot go on and make it past day 1 or 2 ..give my lil tricks a try and before you know it? Your appetite is gone and your sailing right through without even a piece of anything at all. after a few days i became dis interested in anything but liquids and I still feel that way. But ur making it sound like i am eating every day in which i am not. there were only very few days i did that in the very beginning of my fast.

This is a reply to # 1,232,885Amber - a fast in its traditional definition is abstinance of all food. When you made the decision to eat Celery and/or jello you broke your fast.
I congratulated you on your new diet and I'm very happy for you that you are losing weight and getting healthy. I'll say it again, congratulations on your new healthy lifestyle.
But please don't confuse readers by calling what you are doing a fast. I don't care if jello only has 10 calories - once you eat it you are no longer fasting.
I hope this makes it clear for you.

OK...I'm finished. If you want to believe you're on day 25 of your fast - go for it. One suggestion - please take the time to read about fasting and MAYBE you will figure out why you are not on day 25.
Oh well, good luck on your diet.- Re: Day 25 ..still here amberlynn72

This is a reply to # 1,233,269So you've been lieing to yourself for 4 years. Amber...you broke your fast when you decided to eat. It's really not hard to understand. Are you blonde by chance?

This is a reply to # 1,233,411I agree, that is not a fast. The moment you EAT, it's broken. It could be a piece of celery, a peanut, a raisin...heck, even a sunflower seed kernel!
I don't think anyone was trying to belittle you, Amber. I think the point of this exchange was to clarify what fasting is for those who might not understand the concept.
If anyone is interested in the definition of fasting...you're sitting at a computer, use it. - Re: Day 25 ..still here amberlynn72

So what..so you are doing a modfied fast.
Who cares...Just call it a plan.
:P
ANyway....steer clear of any Sugar free stuff. It an hinder weightloss and create cravings. And that whole toxin thing.
Just some tips to make whatever fast you choose easier.
#79602 is usually rude to people in a lot of posts.
perhaps they forgot the spirtual side of fasting and should put thier perfectionist energy inwards.- Re: Day 25 ..still here #102333
