Fasting, that works without severe pain and 24 hour hypoglycemia for one person, may not for another. Yet books on fasting for health don't seem to acknowledge this.

Is fasting or juice fasting extremely difficult for you even if you've tried to prepare by eating healthy ahead of time? Is it frustrating for you to read posts by people who are "on their third day of just carrot juice, and feeling just fine"? there may be a reason. Even if you've been eating a healthy Diet for ages and have done lots of cleansing protocols to try to be as "ready" for fasting as possible, it can STILL be much harder for you than for someone who has a different ayurvedic body type, even if that other person didn't do all that preparation.

Ayurvedic body types: At the following link you can figure out which ayurvedic body type you are. If you are mostly "Vata", guess what: Vata bodies don't do well at all with fasting!! A little reasearch into Vata types online will back this up.

Man, listening to people who are on their fourth and fifth days of just vegetable juice, who have no idea what it's like to fall over with hypoglycemia etc after just one day of nothing but veggie juice - well Aha. All the preparation in the world hasn't made fasting workeable for me, and the 3 day vegetable juice fast I dragged myself through once actually made my health worse for weeks afterwards.
