Well, I’ve chosen to supplement my fast with some protein liquids and powders (neither of which count as ”food”) I don’t care if it’s not ”fasting” if i supplement with protein because at this point, I just want to lose 20 pounds and get my hair to stop falling out. I used to be a hard-core Binger (2 whole months of BlackJack’s cinnabread *damn it’s goodness*, pop-tarts and spam) and since the second night, the cravings have been hitting HARD! I’m expecting the cravings to leave by next week. A little nausea here and there, but otherwise, everything’s pretty tolerable. I can’t wait to get ...

I have discussed this with my parents (i’m too afraid about losing it all not to) and a doctor...two actually. A dermatologist and a family practitioner. They both agree that it’s a resul of mal-nutrition due to my 2 months of bingeing non-stop. I was hoping leveling out my patterns would help it out...   [End]

Alright, yesterday went great. I felt good about myself for actually being able to start and now that i have it’s just smooth sailing (except for detox symptoms, but oh well) I havnt had an enema because i cant and i havent had lax tea yet because i havnt gotten any. I figured this isnt too big a deal because im only 14 and the buildup in me cant be that bad. Today is starting a little slow, no detox symptoms yet, but my hair is still falling out, maybe even more so and im so scared. I dont even care about losing weight with this fast, i just want my health back so my hair will stop falli ...

Thanks for responding. I have researched juice fasting for 2 months prior to my actually chosing to partake in one. However, i cant seem to find any information about taking supplements while juice fasting at all! Some people say no, some people say yes....i just want to keep my hair healthy is all. No one wants to be bald in highschool (unless you’re a guy who shaved your head)   [End]

I’m starting my fast tomorrow for 30 days. I found this protein supplement thats in liquid form, will that do? Im so scared because im already losing my hair and i would like to have it stop before it becomes too noticable! Will i lose any more hair on the fast if i just take daily vitamins or will the fast stop the hair loss? Im so terrified...the thought of having to wear a wig in highschool makes me shudder.   [End]

You are not alone! (wow, what a cliche sentence!) But, back to the point, I suffered and am still suffering from binge eating disorder. I have been free for 2 and a half days (which you should know is a long time without bingeing) only because im preparing myself for a 30 day juice fast. I would rather have suffered from Anorexia than BED...at least it makes you skinny, right? Ugh, we can do it. You’re on your way to beating this monster. YOU GO!!! WOOT!   [End]

I’ve never done a juice fast, but i have done short water fasts before. I have a couple of questions. 1) can i take supplements and protein powders as a part of my fast? 2) If im only 14, do i have to do any colon cleansing or would it still be helpfull? Thanks and lets hope i can finish this.   [End]

Not really. My name is Emina and after reading many inspirational stories on this website about successful long-term fasts, I decided to create my own fasting journal in the hopes that I too will be successful. As I’m sure you can imagine, I have had my fair share of food problems over the years, but as of recently, they have escalated into nearly out of control. In my junoir high years, I began to realize that my body, as sacred as it was to me, was not what I wanted it to be, not what it could be. So, one day, I just stopped eating. Since this is not an eating disorder blog, I won’ ...
