Hi! I'm new to the site. Not new to the contents of it though. I have been researching Water Fasting for about a month. I'm pretty well educated on the subject.. I am wanting to fast for the health benefits, to humble myself spiritually, if that makes sense, and of course lose weight. I have tried to fast about 3 times the past month. Every time it turns into a liquid fast. And what's terrible is I usually cave into energy drinks. I have a one year old I have to chase around the house. I have cut down my caffeine intake tremendously. But I suffer from depression, PTSD, and anxiety, and I'm told that has a lot to do with my exhaustion.. I guess I am looking for someone to tell me it is possible to fast and not have to be on bed rest to do so. That just isn't an option for me. I also was curious about what you guys think about taking a daily vitamin or supplement during the fast. I don't want to give myself a time frame. But I would like to do 40 days of water fasting. Assuming my body allows. I am starting tomorrow. Its so difficult having the will power to follow through. I admire those who have been successful! I am 21 years old, 5'1" and weigh 127 pounds. I am very unhappy with my appearance. Before my daughter I was 95 pounds. I am also a recovering drug addict and getting clean has definitely put some weight on me, it seems. I feel like my early attempts this month were not successful because I only had weight loss as my motivation, and I am hoping now that I have read more on the benefits of fasting, emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. That I may be successful this go around. I would love as much input as I can get on the subject. I really want to do this for God. I feel like I need to, I want that spiritual connection that has been gone for so long. I am also hoping to reset my eating habits. I'd like to go raw vegan after the fast. I know I wrote a lot lol. Just kind of venting. I also have the issue of family trying to feed me. Coooonstantly. They know my goals to fast and I feel as if its always sabotaged. Its hard enough for me to deny myself food and have to fees my daughter everyday but having my family try to feed me makes it so much more difficult! Anyone else have these problems,?? How'd you handle them?

This is a reply to # 2,327,116You say you have read a lot about fasting and pretty well educated about this subject. Then you would know that Water Fasting means water only. Many of us have posted here about not even using toothpaste. Secondly, yes, you have to rest during a fast, no buts about it. With one year old baby I would not fast especially if you are breast feeding.
IMO, I think if you should first eat only raw foods, your body is crying for micronutrients. Depression is a condition you can get out of in one day. Depression is a condition of brain not getting good food, eat good fats, avocado, olive oil, flaxseed, coconut products, etc. everyday.
If you are serious do the Liver Flush and you will be amazed in one day you will feel different. Or you can start with kidney cleanse, Colon Cleanse and then do LF.
After Liver-Flush you eat only raw foods and then fast for a week.
But if you are breast feeding,mother don't.
Peace.

This is a reply to # 2,327,183I mean I've researched quite a bit on the subject.. there's so much debate on whether taking supplements would effect ketosis which of course if my main concern. Like you said that would be a starvation "diet" essentially. Would toothpaste really effect ketosis? Even if you made sure not to swallow any? There is also a lot of debate on that. Its seems no matter how much i read up on the subject theres no definitive answer. Just opinions.. I don't breast feed and I have read a lot even on this site that in can help with emotional and/or mental problems. Whether or not that's true I don't know. I don't take any medications currently for anything, I don't even take vitamins now. Just curious if it would effect ketosis.. I know that rest is much needed. But I have read of people maintaining jobs and children while water fasting. They said it was difficult. But manageable and to listen to your body of course. That's interesting. I've heard of The Master Cleanse never heard of the Liver Flush though. I appreciate the response. I figured I'd try to do the Water Fast regardless. Let me know any other alternatives to brushing teeth.. I'm sure you know there are sooooo many opinions on the subject as well. That's a definite concern for me. Lol. Thanks for the reply :)

For the most part, I agree with Archus. Water fasting means water only. To that I would add, not tap water, and if at all possible Distilled.
"eat only raw foods" To that I would add Organic only.
"Depression is a condition you can get out of in one day
"Depression is a condition of brain not getting good food, eat good fats, avocado, olive oil, flaxseed, coconut products, etc. everyday". To that I say Depression goes much deeper than that and requires modifying events, memories, and the responses of the subconcious mind where they are stored. There are tools for this.
In fact there are tools for the depression, anxiety, and PTSD, as well as losing weight. Also successful water fasting.
Namely, Visualisation http://tinyurl.com/z66gx5w Long ago I posted about a High school, or college basketball team that used visualisation to get better at free throws. They split the team up into two groups, one group practiced actually throwing the ball while practicing, while the other group just practiced by visualizing throwing the free throws.
At the end of a certain time period both groups improved within a few percentage points of the other.
Powerful stuff, but the power is magnified by doing it with self hypnosis. http://tinyurl.com/hkhs84l
Notice that you can sample each audio book [bottom of each] and that the first one is free, then for $15 you can get 1 a month.
The energy drinks that you mention can be bad for you. At least some. Red Bull is a popular one that has 11 grams of sugar. That's bad enough, but the sugar comes from Beets which are 100% GMO.
If you're serious about fasting, forget about starting out at
a 40 day fast. It's not going to happen. Go slow, and it will eventually happen. Use the tools. They will make a difference if you practice them.

This is a reply to # 2,327,220Thanks for the reply. I definitely won't set my goal for 40 days. It would be my first "water only" fast. That alone, I think intimidates me and ultimately I end up eating after about4 days of being successful. I'm definitely setting the bar to high right now. I'm going to listen to my body. If it allows me to do 40 days, great. If not that's fine too. What is your opinion on the "no toothpaste" thing. So many different opinions. Haha. I would not want to stop brushing my teeth. My only worry is it effecting my body going into ketosis... hmmmmmmm.- Re: Water fasting. Help! InCharge

This is a reply to # 2,327,227What is your opinion on the "no toothpaste" thing.
I don't buy it. I brush if for no other reason to get the muck off the tongue that builds up on a extended fast. I rinse with water, and don't swallow.

This is a reply to # 2,327,250My thoughts exactly. I can't go without brushing lol. Thanks for the reply! - Re: Water fasting. Help! archus

This is a reply to # 2,327,250Our body reacts to smell, sight and touching of foods, but the effects on the triggering activation of digestive system are minor. But when any food or food like substances go in our mouth, the digestive system thinks the food is coming in and then there is none. Toothpaste or vitamins will do that.
Brushing with water is not a bad idea. Scrapping your tongue with a tongue scraper is also good, even when you are not fasting.
In my early days of fasting in my youth I used to use Sea Salt to brush my teeth and all experts I spoke to made me stop that.
I do not have a proof of comparison of what were the downfall of using or not using toothpaste or Sea Salt .
Each to they own.

This is a reply to # 2,327,220Good point, Incharge, about Depression being deeper than just physical aspects. I have helped so many people with Liver Flush and most of who were depressed reported that very next day they the Depression was gone. I must say two cases later on went back to taking drugs that were prescribed to them because they had headaches from not taking those drugs.
EFT has also helped me with many emotional ups and downs of life events.
BTW, Redbull is banned from many European countries.
