i am so amazed by all the stories on here and ive been reading them for weeks and finally decided to sign up today. but i need to know some more info before i fast. ive alwasy been over weight but after i got married i started walking everywhere and i lost a bunch of it.. im 5'2 and i was down to 130 lbs which is fine for me. then i found out i was pregnant. i had my daughter and started my diet again but 2 months after having here i found out i was pregnant again. lol. well my second daughter is now 2 months old and im tired of wearing maternity clothes. like i said im 5'2 and now weigh 182 pounds wow!!
i have seen everyone say Water Fasting and juice fasting but what about water/sweet tea fasting? i know it sounds crazy but here is my thought: i looked at me tea bags and ont he nutritional value it says zero calories plus i recently swiched from Sugar to splenda which also has zero calories . both has nothing in them that is bad for me, splend is even used in diet coke now. so would it be ok to drink lots of water and my "sweet" tea. please tell me your thougts
secondly:: im ready to do this right now! i ate all i wanted to eat for thanksgiving and i ate some leftovers today but i cant stand being fat anymore! if i start fasting tomarrow (saturday) and count that as day #1 and i fast for exactly 30 days it will be over the day before christmas which is perfect!! does anyone want to fast with me during that time? nov 25-dec 25 we can write and keep each other motivated. please let me know! im a fat girl that likes her meals lol and i have never missed a meal so this will be quite a challenge.

This is a reply to # 779,049I understand the dangers they say about artificial sweetners but in my eyes it cant be near as bad as using plain ol sugar. because i use the heck out of Sugar that is why im so fat and being this big is not good for my health... so in my mind they are equally bad for my body but what i want to know is can i really drink it while fasting? im not fasting for the detox or anything im fasting to lose weight ... tea is like 95%++ water and has no calories and splenda has no calories... so does that mean i can drink as much as i want just liek water and not have to worry about gaining or maintaining my weight??

This is a reply to # 780,562No, because things like artificial sweeteners upset the endocrine system which is the system which controls weight. Being overweight means that your endocrine system is profoundly out of balance, and things that cause the endocrine system to become unbalanced are refined Sugar and refined carbohydrates; artificial sweeteners, alcohol, heated fats; and all medications to a greater or lesser extent may upset this delicate system. Therefore if you want to fast, you may only want to lose weight, but if by losing weight you continue to interfere with your endocrine system, you are not going to achieve a lasting benefit, as you need to balance this system above all in order to achieve a lasting healthy weight. So ditch the sweetener! If you feel you must use something to sweeten your tea, then raw unheated honey in small quantities is not so bad, and fructose in small quantities, while it is a refined product (so should be used in moderation) does not have a detrimental affect on the blood Sugar so can be used without too much concern. But really sweeteners should not be used under any circumstances. Good luck!

This is a reply to # 779,035Congratulations on deciding to take control of your wight! I only wanted to make sure you were aware that coming off a fast is a slow process. You will need several days of light eating before going back to normal food. If you were wanting to eat a lavish christmas dinner (or any christmas dinner) you might want to fast for maybe only 20 days. (though hopefully by the end of your fast you will want to choose only healthy foods in moderation)
Good luck to you whatever you choose!
