To anyone who is familiar with Water Fasting I need your advice please. I originally started doing The Master Cleanse on July 18th 2010 and after a few days just felt it wasn't for me because I just felt sick to my stomach from all that stuff I had to take. I started reading up on doing a Water Fast and so I transitioned from the Master-Cleanse to a Water Fast on July 26th. I noticed that I am always extremely nauseous and have the most nastiest taste in my mouth. I think that's what's making me sooo nauseous, the way my mouth tastes and feels. I brush at least 6 times a day, scrape my tongue, and use mouthwash. I can't get rid of this God awful taste in my mouth..and feeling nauseous all the time, I just can't do anything :( Going out and enjoying the weather or just hanging out with family just seems so hard to do because I can't enjoy it. I smell everyone's Body Odor , not that they smell bad .. well to me they do because of my enhanced super sonic smelling, all I smell is the food they just ate and garlic and onions and spices and I just feel like puking all the time. Is this normal?? I've tried to research as much as possible if anyone else is going through this but I just can't find anything, I just want to feel better and know that this is normal. I don't want to stop the fast, I want to do it for about 30 days. I also noticed that I keep getting these painful leg cramps, you know what woke me up the other morning..a very painful charlie-horse my left calf :( Lack of potassium? I also noticed like a rapid heartbeat type of thing, like if I try to do some light housework, I'll experience that and it does feel uncomfortable. Is that normal?
I'm drinking only distilled water. I'm female age 25. I would really appreciate any input anyone can give me and thank you in advance for your time. God bless.

hey there. i'm not going to give you plenty of advice, nor am i going to give you a long discourse. i will only say this. that all the symptoms you mentioned are what i have personally encountered on a fast, and have had to overcome.
is this your first fast? if it is, expect things you've never experienced before!
the bad taste in the mouth can be, and has been for me, one of the most difficult things to deal with (that and physical weakness.) the bad taste will seem so persistent, and makes you want to eat, or scream! but it is a reality, and you have to decide to go through it...it will eventually subside, though it may reappear later again.
the leg cramps too, are a normal experience for me when fasting. usually they appear in the morning, and can be dreadfully painful. i once had one so bad, i thought i might faint from the pain, and it required my sister to rub, and massage it until i could get free of it!
puking? yes normal, especially in the beginning, as toxins are released wholesale into your system. you will probably bring up bile as well.
well, thats it. just ask if you'd like to know anything else.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,661,983Braindamage, thank you very much for that link. I've read through it and will continue reading it throughout the day.
Freespirit, yes this is my very first water fast. I have fasted through The Master Cleanse a few times before the most being 18 days. How long was your longest water fast? Yes I do experience the physical weakness and it SUCKS. I wish I can exercise or do something at least but I know I can't because I don't want to over do it. Even while doing light housework I get this rapid heartbeat and heavy feeling in my chest. I am going to go out later and purchase some Ketostix. Thankfully, the muscle cramps have subsided .. for now that is lol
A few more questions if I may:
How much water am I supposed to be drinking. I wanted to follow the whole divide my weight by two and that number I come up with should be the number of ounces of water I should be drinking daily. Though I have read online on some forums people advising that you shouldn't really be drinking THAT much water and just a few sips a day. I am leaning more towards drinking the ounces ideal for my body weight.
Also, I have read that some people drink some carbonated water to calm down the hunger pangs and the growls. Now THAT I have A LOT of. Is that allowed or do I just stick to just plain water throughout the entire fast?
Another question I have, and I'm sorry to ask this, but how often am I supposed to BM? During the transition from The Master Cleanse to the water fast, I was doing okay. For the past 2 days I have not. I personally have not and will never try an anema. Will I be able to go on my own?
Thank you SO very much for taking the time and helping me. God bless.

regarding the amount of water:

But it's your body, so listen to it and judge for yourself.
Bowel movements:

Personally i get bowel movements after 4-5 day's (lot's of toxins). i got this on all three fasts.

This is a reply to # 1,662,248I think switching from a badly dehydrating diet (master cleanse) to a Water Fast is a really bad idea. It could be an electrolyte issue - not everything unpleasant that happens during a fast is 'expelling toxins'

This is a reply to # 1,662,288Hi Nothingbetter :) Well, I think what would've made The Master Cleanse a 'badly dehydrating diet' is the SWF, but I did not do that every morning and instead I was taking the lax tea every night and in the morning as well. I was drinking plenty of water and I never was dehydrated. See, I never really cared for a Water Fast because I guess that was me being ignorant, I never gave it a chance and educated myself with what it was exactly. I'm really happy that I did switch over and I feel good. I have asthma and would carry around my inhaler. For the past few days I have not had to reach for it and that makes me want to just JUMP up and down lol I've had it since the 3rd grade..I was about 9 years old and I'm 25 now so I had it for a while and I want it to be sooooo gone. I feel limited to a lot that I would love to do. Well sorry to ramble lol Thank you for your input and have a blessed day!Advertisement

Hi 117496 :),
In a resting fast, the weakness is no joke and even light housework (or standing and walking to the bathroom) can be a real difficulty. To the extent that it is possible, it is ideal to rest as much as you can.
... I am going to go out later and purchase some Ketostix.
Let me save you the trouble. You are in ketosis :).
A few more questions if I may:
How much water am I supposed to be drinking.
Drinking only to thirst is the key. Every sip you take should be a delight to your soul :). If you are forcing it down and it is unpleasant, you are not thirsty.
Also, I have read that some people drink some carbonated water to calm down the hunger pangs and the growls. Now THAT I have A LOT of. Is that allowed or do I just stick to just plain water throughout the entire fast?
Distilled unmineralized, uncarbonated water is the way to go and for many good reasons.
Another question I have, and I'm sorry to ask this, but how often am I supposed to BM?
As often as your body wants. It might be several times over 30 days and it might be zero.
Will I be able to go on my own?
You might and you might not, but either way is perfectly fine and your body has it under control. In my most recent fast, i went 36.5 days without a single movement.
Thank you SO very much for taking the time and helping me. God bless.
A pleasure. God bless you too :).- Re: Leg cramps and feeling nauseous ... #117496

This is a reply to # 1,662,327Hi Mighty Sun Tzu!! You made me feel better with your responses you cleared up a lot for me and thank you so very much <3
While at home yesterday I started developing a headache, the kind that gets worse if you cough or sneeze..so I quickly layed down in bed for about half an hour and felt better. I went to see a movie and it was SO funny I laughed so hard and that headache returned lol This is the first time during my fast that I get a headache. I hope that wasn't a bad sign?- Re: Leg cramps and feeling nauseous ... Mighty.Sun.Tzu

That reminds me of an experience i had in my recent fast. I tried to watch a certain comedy show on 3 separate occasions but i was too weak to laugh that hard and each time i had to change the channel :). It was called "Hal Sparks, Charmageddon".
This is the first time during my fast that I get a headache. I hope that wasn't a bad sign?
Headache is a very common fasting symptom and i wouldn't be the least bit concerned about it.
Hi Mighty Sun Tzu!! You made me feel better with your responses you cleared up a lot for me and thank you so very much.
You are so very welcome 117496 :).
