I don't know. But to this lay person it most likely is a major sign from your body telling you to cease and desist what is causing bruises to appear all over your legs. Like maybe it is because of you depriving it of certain critical vitamins, minerals or elements?
I am not going to bother to put links up in this post. Don't want to call people out. You can go over to the two forums and see it for yourself...............
"Hello, everyone! I'm new to this forum and also to Water Fasting.
I'm currently on day 3 and I've had a problem sleeping. Has anyone experienced this?
I haven't slept in 2 days. Help.
Thank You"
I don't know. Just wondering if the "cure" is going to kill you faster then the "solution".............
And a partial response to the post..............................
"Don't worry if you can't sleep. As Toxins circulate, and are eliminated, the tendency is to stay stimulated."
Not quite sure where the notion that "toxins" circulating would cause a person to miss days of sleep. I have been in the same boat myself before. And it had nothing to do with "toxins" circulating......
Day 2 of 45 day Water Fast [=
well its more like half way done of day 2 xD its almost 5 pm and i can't wait till its day 3 [= today has been surprisingly easy, not really hungry. no hanger pangs, just have an empty feeling in my stomach, my energy has fallen significantly since yesterday though but its all part of this fasting process. i've also noticed i always seem to get headaches on this fasts, like yesterday i got one during the afternoon xD thankfully i haven't gotten one today. and my biggest tip really, the busier u keep ur mind, the easier it is not to cave in and eat. i had a plate of food in my hands today cuz i was serving food to my lil bro and i kept a straight face and didn't think about how yummy it was, kinda like i suppressed my feelings and i didn't get hungry at all!:O I gotta say the mind is very powerful, just think how nasty the food is and how your in control and not the food, even if it isn't true. like the saying goes " fake it till u make it" haha (: so i weighed myself this morning and im down 5.2 lbs!!:D
starting weight: 172.4 lbs
current weight: 167.2 lbs (:
goal weight: 120 lbs :D
p.s. as i was finishing typing this, my tummy growled so loudly LOL guess NOW the hunger pangs wanna start -.- time to go keep my mind occupied, cya guys :D
(Trying to drop 50+ pounds in 45 days by starving yourself???????????)
And the response...and I will post this persons handle. Because it just about brought tears to me eyes..............

"Hey, wanna be fasting buddies? I'm 18 and 5'5, 148 lbs. I just started my first day out of 28 days, i've been trying to fast long-term since I was 14...LOL. Anyways, yeahhh...just wondering if you'd like to have a partner for motivation and such! lemme know"
Miley Cyrus aka Hanna Montana. My seven year old niece's hero. Is that what her future holds in store for her? Going through cycles of starving herself, and then eating, then more starving, and then more eating? To try to reach some type of ideal????????????
Folks. This poster here has been doing it since the age of 14! A tween. And she is only 18. And she is going to do it all over again and starve herself for a month?????? And that is alternative medicine?????????????????
Sorry. I won't accept that. Our young women deserve better. You go out onto the plains of Africa and Mama Lions will pick their cubs up by the scruff of the neck and carry them to safety. It is what you want to do with this young girl. She deserves much more then a plastic handshake people. We've got overweight posters - who don't exercise, and eat crap, and are incredibely toxic - wanting to starve themselves......... and young girls starting off their life with a cycle of symbolically binging and purging. And it shouldn't be happening. Someone needs to set them straight and help them realize there are no magic bullets. And they will need to educate themselves about how to live the rest of their life to combat these "issues". And it ain't by refusing to eat. Hardly. It is by putting healthy things in your body that can help it heal.
And who knows what psychological scars they already have. Those won't be healed by starving yourself...........
It is pretty insane. They should be talking to Uny, or Tony, or Grz, or Hv. Not just given a plastic handshake and wished well on their journey.............................
