Please HELP. Two years ago I did a 10 day water fast. Towards the last 9th and 10th days my legs got very heavy. I've lost about 50% of my streinght: For exemple:before the fast I could do 18 pull ups on a pull up bar,after 6-7 days into fast I could do just as many (I've lost streingt but I've also lost several pounds of weight to pull up). But After the fast I could do only 7-8 pull ups.
After the fast I started to work out again. It took me 1 year to recover the streinght, but, two years later, I still have heavy legs, have hard time running and breathing.And I was an athlete in great shape!
Can any one be so kind and recommend a treatment?
By the way, one year after the first fast (that would be a year ago, I did another 10 day fast, but this time drinking home made lemonade with a little honey.

This is a reply to # 2,008,839The info- about your health is insufficient to make definite conclusions. It is sufficient enough, though, to say that your body started cleaning, which you did not finish, and it can take much much more than twice 10 days fasting. Even athletes, and often: especially athletes, can be very intoxicated, which obviously can be helped through long fast or multiple short ones and pristine diet in between. The body stores toxins were it is easier for the specific individual - fat, joints, in the abdominal cavity, extremities etc. You can thank your body it doesn't choose to store them in vital organs, which can also happen.

This is a reply to # 2,008,839I would have to agree with DesertLili. It sounds like you're body has gone into cleansing, but hasn't finished yet (not that cleansing really finishes, but that the major cleansing needs to finish) since it takes more than a cleanse or two to get clean. Possibly an underlying problem could have emerged from the cleansing during your fast (such as lyme disease). But I'm no expert and it seems like there might be more to the story that just 2 Water Fasts . Going without food and such in that span of time shouldn't cause 2 years worth of trouble.

This is a reply to # 2,008,839I also agree with DesertLili, but there could also be an underlying Vitamin D deficiency, which is vital for strength/health.

Nutrition post fast is just as important as the fast itself.

This is a reply to # 2,011,649I completed a 10 day Water Fast and I am on day 5 and eating solid foods. I am now having to strain to urinate and have had no bowel movements. Any thoughts or help.
