Re: You already know the answer urself, so what's the point to ask? n/m
About two days ago Chrisb1 has answered this question! Why ppl just cant be bothered to look through the posts at least on the same page where they send their own one? What about the net?.. #91053, you have already answered ur question urself.. Even the NAME of particular fast or diet can give you the IDEA what this or that fast is about.
Water Fast means JUST water, no tea, no supplements. Otherwise no point to call it this fast a water fast!
I can't search for any other post to support my opinion but here is extractions from Chris' recent post:
'To receive the maximum benefits from a
Water Fast will mean consuming absolutely nothing except water, so a multi is unnecessary: this will interfere with ketosis and autolysis and diminish the health benefits of cleansing and healing... Whether you continue with your meds is questionable, as any artificial interference with the proper functioning of your thyroid, will fool the body, and (in my opinion) will inhibit or even prevent its goal of self-healing'.
Answering ur question about whether 5 days
Water Fast can bring some benefits. The answer is YES. Any length of a water fast will bring benefits (even 24h abstaining from food is also good for ur body coz it is a REST for ur entire system). But the longer the fast the more advantages u can get. I read that the minimum amount of days to call fast - FAST is 10 days.
Hope it helps
