Hello everyone,
I am a new member to the site however I have been visiting the forums for over a year researching and gaining insight to the world of water fasting. I have been interested in water fasting for over 3 years now, however I have only ever completed various 2 day fasts and one 5 day fast to date. Recently I have been experiencing personal issues with food and eating in general. I would like to break my bad habits once and for all so I can truly move on with my life and gain optimum health.
I would be extremely grateful to anyone who can offer me their advice and support on my journey! I especially find others' experiences helpful! I will be regularly posting on this thread to keep myself and anyone else who is interested up to date with my progress. Although I am mainly focusing on breaking emotional eating patterns and unhealthy eating habits, I am also looking to shift some unwanted pounds that I have gained over the last 3 months from emotional over-eating.
I currently weigh 150lbs and I am a 5'7, 20 year old female.
Last but not least, would anyone be interested in joining me on my water fast? even if you are planning to go longer or aiming for a shorter fast, I would be interested in having a fasting buddy to help me through those tough moments and whom I can support through theirs!
Thank you all and good luck to anyone who is fasting! :)

This is a reply to # 2,177,874Hi, I'm on day 18 of what I expect to be a 30 day water fast. It's going well. I have a fairly clear schedule and am able to rest a lot. Day 5-12 I experienced some severe low back and gluteal pain. I went for my first colonic and the pain disappeared completely. Otherwise, it has been a rather simple fast. I was already weaned off caffeine and I have fast previously, lots of 1, 3, and 5 day fasts and one 10 day fast.
I'd be happy to share my experiences if you have questions.- Re: Embarking on a 28 day Water Fast... morjai

This is a reply to # 2,177,927Wow! 18 days is amazing!
Can I ask how detox symptoms have been for you? one of the things I've been worried about is the signs of detox such as skin rashes, outbreaks, bad breath etc, symptoms that may be noticed by others as I will be doing my fast while working part time. I'm not trying to keep my fast a secret or anything like that but I know from experience that people who are not educated on fasting don't react well to the idea!
Another thing I'd be interested in knowing is how much weight you have lost on this fast? if you don't mind me asking?

This is a reply to # 2,177,946Hi, sorry I didn't see your reply until just now. I'm not on day 23. I haven't had any skin rashes. In fact, my skin is so clear and soft. My mouth tasted awful for a while. Then it was pretty clear, then two days ago it got really bad again.
I tell very few people I'm fasting, only those in my life who must because they live with me.
My weight. I haven't weighed myself since day one. I have gone down two dress sizes, however. When I fast in a longer fast, I tend to average about a pound a day of weight loss, plus a few more than that, maybe 3-5. You can then expect to gain about 5 back in the first few days because it's water weight. I encourage you to watch as many Loren Lockman of the Tanglewood Center's youtube videos as you can, particularly about breaking the fast. I'm happy to answer any questions, if I can.

This is a reply to # 2,177,927Is it a regular fast, means you do not drink a drop of water during a month? - Re: Embarking on a 28 day Water Fast... sethpatria

This is a reply to # 2,178,148I actually had to break my Water Fast today with a teaspoon of honey because my mum thought I needed to get my blood Sugar up.
I've just been diagnosed with labyrinthitis which is a condition affecting the ear and therefore balance, vertigo etc. today I had a funny turn and was extremely faint and dizzy for a few hours. So much so that I had to stay in bed and couldn't move! My mum was worried so she made me have some honey to see if it would help. It didn't!!!! So I'm very annoyed but I didn't eat anything else after that, just water so technically tomorrow will be the first day again for me.
Disappointing but at the time of the vertigo attack I was very scared.
Good luck with your water fast! Keep updating! I would love to hear how you're getting along :)- Re: Embarking on a 28 day Water Fast... Willful

This is a reply to # 2,178,308That's all understandable. I used to have blood Sugar issues, but fasting cured all that. I actually find that fasting stabilizes blood sugar. If you get dizzy, rest more and sip water. Again, I recommend watching Loren Lockman of Tanglewood youtube videos.

This is a reply to # 2,178,148How are you doing? I would suggest for someone your age to try intermittent fasting. Read the Warrior Diet, for example. It can free you from the noose of food addiction/obsession.

This is a reply to # 2,178,148Checking back in here on my original post. I actually failed to complete this fast at all and I am very disappointed about this. I am still very eager to fast so I am starting again tomorrow. I feel very motivated this time around and with a total lack of appetite with reasons unknown I am going to take full advantage of this and fast!
Maybe I will post on this thread to keep myself in check.
Good luck to anyone who is currently fasting.

This is a reply to # 2,177,874I'm glad to see everyone interacting about your experiences. I'll be honest, this is the first time I attempt to do a water fast, I'm on day 6 and doing well. My mouth tastes awful, I often feel like vomiting but I do believe I need to slow down when drinking water.
I'm so glad to see others doing this! My goal is 28 days, I pray all goes well, best of luck to everyone here!
