hey, what are the side effects exactly? i know the artificial sugar must be harming me, because i drink diet soda daily; i am an atrocious addict. i've heard this shit can cause memory loss.
This "pure" thing is your own denial about warnings and admonishments that have have been presented by well meaning people on these forums with a whole lot more experience and knowledge than you not only about the well documented effects of the chemicals you are consuming but also about the very researched and documented effects of YEARS of supervised fasting, it's effects and how it actually works.
You are obviously in denial about all the verifiable information that has been presented to you including a number of links for you to research any of it. Since this is a public site, others that come here seeking information deserve to be informed about the possible grave dangers and possible future negative conscequences of what you have done.
You basically did not fast by any standard and well studied and documented effects of many years of supervised fasting. What you did was was not only "starve" yourself but at your rate of daily of fluid consumption:
"I drink about 28 ounces of sf cherry limeade per day. Plus an additional 35 ounces of water per day".
You also very likely dehydrated yourself. This rate of fluid consumtion is not even adequate at your weight under normal everyday circumstances so you made things worse in conjunction with starving yourself. By this combination of your actions there is a high probability to have caused permanent organ damage that while not readily apparent at this juncture it could rear it's ugly head and cause you major health issues in the future.
Anyone else reading this please do your research. Fasting is serious business and if not done correctly may cause permanent harm with dire conscequences in the future
