Hi Bellecour, I am starting a 40 day fast tonight the 4th of July also and could do with some support, mostly to keep me accountable.. Have started and completed a few fasts, the longest was 23 days but have failed alot recently. Hoping to hear from anyone who is Water Fasting at the minute and hope to reply everyday with updates.. Good luck with your fast too :)

Days were named and numbered by humans. Go by moon. Cycles, much natural way of timing things you do in life.

Just came off my fast at day 5... I also had unpleasant symptoms but nothing that caused me concern that shouldn't continue. Mild headache started on day 3 and I was experiencing lower back pain that seemed to be in the kidney area... not all the time but throughout. Wasalso spacey on day 3 but day 4 seemed to ease up on the symptoms. Lost 13 pounds total... I know I was still detoxing and will try again in a month or two.

Dear Belle,

I too have PCOS... mostly in its dormant phase - though I still have a 2cm cyst on one of my ovaries, I have shrunk it from 6cm. <3

Dear, shun all this medicine they are giving you its utter ROT! they are making money of peoples illness - its not financially prudent for them to cure us... only God in Nature can.

I would firstly fast - which is what you are doing. Then go on as long as you can on pineapple for as many days... maybe 5, take a break and then go back to it rinse and repeat for maybe 2-3 weeks going as long as you can with a day or two break if you need... Its shrunk one of my cysts more than any amount of fasting has... and Ive been at it for almost 7 years.

Make sure your weight is good.


Then you need to eat fat, fat and more fat to steady your insulin levels. DO NOT COUNT CALORIES... no.... instead try to keep your carbs under 60-90g a day, and do you best not to go over. Using fat instead of carbs as your main fuel will keep in ketosis which will eat away at your cysts as well as regulate your insulin.
Obviously by fat we are meaning the friendly type, butter, ghee, coconut oil, olive oil, and all the healthy ones.

Have grains and sugars as very rare treats. These guys are going to grow your cysts and throw your cycle out.

You will not gain weight eating like this. YOU will be thin and lean... I eat this way and I struggle to make it into normal BMI and verge on underweight - but in a lean healthy way because I'm not burdened with carbs. They slow our bodies.


This means dear, be careful when you break your fast. Some of the kids on this forum say smash up on the fruit when you break your fast. Don't... you will set your body into carb craving mode. Instead choose veggies and fat. Greens, cucumber, veggie broth, lentils when you are ready.

The sweetener you want to try to have when you do have carbs is organic black strap molasses... which tastes... interesting. But the mineral content is very rich and potent for PCOS sufferers.
Have with ACV as a shot if you can, daily.

And... obviously do the Iodine every day.


I wish you well on your journey to cure.

God bless.
