Hello!
I love this site; there is so much good information. I have been lurking for a long while and suddenly decided to join. I am going on a 30 day juice fast (and some bone broth). I have had great experiences with fasting. I have completed both 15 day Water Fast and a 123 day juice fast! Honestly, the water kicked my a**. The 123 day juice fast was hard but my energy was amazing. I mistakenly thought that I could re-introduce a little bad food and that little turned into a lot. Now my weight has crept back up and I am ready to face reality and get down to business...again! Hopefully I can help hold someone here accountable while also being held accountable myself...here I go!

This is a reply to # 1,846,158Wow, I've never heard of another person undertaking longterm fasting like myself. Hello! My longest fast was 145 days and it was just amazing. Felt better than ever before. That was about 8 years ago. 5 years ago I did 105 days, and also felt fabulous during that fast. That's when I joined this forum. Even then, I'd yet to meet someone who'd fasted longer than 30 days.
Good luck to you! I'm on day 53 (or part 2; day 8). I fasted 45 days, took 1 month off (family vacations, etc.) and started back up again for another 45 days... or more...
BTW, I totally understand weightloss being a major motivating factor. It's one of my goals, but I'm fasting primarily for health. I have a rare endocrine disease that just messes everything up. Fasting is the only time I experience health and vitality. (sigh)

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,846,531Wow 145 days! Now I am sure we have a lot we can talk about! I actually kept a calendar to document each day...it is a real interesting read lol. Now I am attempting another fast, I start tomorrow, but I have tried a couple since my big one ended in December and I am really struggling. That is why I am putting myself out there...accountability! Day 53 for you...I can’t wait until I get there. Did you ever notice numbness in your extremities towards the end of your long fast? I am adding bone broth to get some extra nutrition and hopefully not have to deal with that again. Let’s talk!

This is a reply to # 1,846,556No numbness at all during my fasts. Actually, one of the issues I'm trying to relieve is my left arm constantly going numb on me and it sometimes hurts, like acid has been poured into the muscle. I think it's tendonitous but it could also be that I'm not taking enough growth hormone (my body doesn't produce it). During my fasts the numbness and pain completely goes away.
I'm a bit of a purest when it comes to fasting. Nothing but juice, water and herbal teas. Never heard of adding bone broth. Hmm...
Hope all is going well with your fast! You should be over the three day hump by now. Yeay!

This is a reply to # 1,846,158Hi Facereality,
I just started my juicefast last night at 6 pm (yeah I know - go figure) so I am coming to the end of my first day (although I will count today as day 1). I will be fasting for 20 days (so far my longest fast was 10 days so this will feel long)- I look forward to following your progress and posting on my own. Did you post on your 123 day fast on this forum and if so can you post a link as I am super curious!!! THANKS MUCH!!!- Re: Here I go...another long fast! facereality

This is a reply to # 1,846,725Hi Grammyfan!
Making it through day 1 is a big deal, congratulations! I always told myself if I can do 1 day, I can do 100! I did not post my experiences regarding my 123 day juice fast, but I did keep a fairly detailed calendar so I can pretty much tell you how I was feeling on any given day. I will try to put something together for people to see. I am on day 1 of my current fast, I planned for 30 days but I may go longer. It will be nice to share my experiences with you and the folks on this forum! If you have any questions or would like to know about my experience on a specific day let me know...you can do it!
