18 hours without any food whatsoever as of now. i might do it for 4 days or so, i'm not sure. i just wanna see what happens after the first 2 days.


and i kinda did this before, not on purpose though... i'd sit in front of my computer listening to trance, talking to ppl, maybe coding, etc... so engulfed in work, that i'd forget to eat for 12 hours or so. and in high school i'd go for 8-12 hours without food, because i hated eating lunch and also i didn't wanna eat before practice (running 5 miles, that's when i went ~12 hours without eating). it's not that bad after 3 years. i got used to it. we'll see what happens, although i can tell already, it's harder than i think.


like, when i know i'm gonna eat in 2 hours, i can completely forget that i'm hungry, but now i'm catching myself thinking about food more often. it's the same as if reading - i'd gladly read a book on my own, but if i have to read it for class or something, i'd be pissing and moaning about it.

Once I was 4 days without eating ANYTHING. just water, after the 2nd day I could have some tea (no sugar).
5th day I could eat ONE fat-free cracker every 2 hours.
6th day: some rice no butter (a bit of oil), bit of salt.
it SUCKED!

If you want to get clean, eat accordingly. Don't starve yourselveeeees.

PS: no I didn't do it because I wanted, got REALLY intoxicated with a rotten hotdog or something, lol. I still eat hotdogs
PS2: I liked rice before that, but when I ate rice after 5 days of zero food, man! it was PHAT!. Nowadays I don't like rice, I LOVE IT.

No way would I ever choose not to eat for 5 days, no matter how healthy it is. I'll stick with a strict diet, I need some sort of food!

22 hrs

k, and "Food" doesnt give you energy. Try eating a barrel of twinkies and tell me how much you feel like running.

The right foods can provide you with additional energy, but it is a replenishment/surplus thing. I did jogs and light weights on the fast and felt fucking fine. I also moved my friend out of his 2nd story aptmt to a 3rd story in a new building. You dont faint or anything. Jesus. Read on this shit before you make wild illogical guesses.

For water, yeah I usually went through about a gallon + a day. You dont need more than 8 cups but it helps with initial hunger pangs.

For eating again afterwards, I would have a solid meal, nothing huge, but a good pasta dinner with a glass of wine and some salad would be nice. Part of the reason you fast is to break the sugar and complex carb cravings. Youll realize you dont need fatty shitty foods to feel good, and after a fast, they are the last thing on your mind. its a good way to reset the natural balance to your diet.

Im glad to hear youre not eatin whiskers

Perfectly fine, I've done this before so I knew coming into it what to expect.

And I'm just doing the cranberry juice for a more detoxifying effect, and plus it adds SOME flavor to my day

i thought of doing a "salad week" but that would be harder than not eating - you come into the dining hall and there's all the pasta + pizza + fried scallops or some other tasty stuff... and it all smells so good, how can i not eat it?

so simply not going to the dining hall is easier, plus it correlates with my laziness
