Re: How to have energy on a water fast?

@VeryKnawty - Your comment is really helpful to me. I have attempted Water Fasting a handful of times and have abruptly atopped on the 4th day as well due to feeling extremely faint and weak along with having heart palpitations, heavy breathing and sometimes vision begins going darker. I am hypoglycemic and have had a few blood Sugar episodes but these seem to happen only when I exercise while fasting. When it happens, I lose my ability to think, have tunnel hearing, tunnel vision, heavy breathing, sweating, rapid heartbeat, can't stand up and feel on verge of passing out. Then I eat a few tablespoons of raisins or drink juice and the episide clears in about 5 minutes after which I can stand again. But it always scares me so much that I'm afraid to Water Fast again. I am currently on my 2nd day of fasting but have not exercised. I feel very weak and faint but I KNOW I need it because I can tell I am full of toxins. On a normal day, I eat so much Sugar - I have been a Sugar addict my whole life. As an example, I can eat an entire bag of chocolate (snickers, twix) by myself in one day. I weigh 118 and am 5'1". I am bigger than usual for me. I always weigh 100 even and still have a love handle (I don't strength train like I should). But after I had my son, I didn't try to lose the weight and now I have had enough of this 18 pounds anf hypoglycemia. I want to get rid of both. I just need to get past that weak faint stage. But what you said, its a catch 22 because the harder it is to fast, the more we need it. i know that is me because I hate to fast and love food and can barely make it 5 hours without eating before feeling the hypoglycemic effects. I want to heal it. Like I said, I am on my second day, but had a few sticks of Celery with mustard on it yesterday and then today I had 2oz of juice with 8oz of water and a scoop of Colonix intestinal cleanser to help myself through this dufficult stage because my intestines were in excruciating pain and I thought maybe they need assistance.I hope the extra 50 calories per day doesn't ruin the fast. I know its not 100% fasting but I'm really trying to get there. I just don't know how without fainting. :(
