see headaches and nausea are usually due to this: Now that your body had time to cleanse all your shit out it grabs it all and packages it up ready to ship out of your body. If you eat and break the fast the toxin packs will just dissipate back into your body, and while the headache is gone now, the toxins are not. Wait a day or two, youll feel better.

edit
think of it this way. Do you eat when you are terribly sick? No, your body automatically goes into a fast to cleanse itself. water only baby hehe

water only! hehe. Apples still make your digestive system work.

Originally posted by whiskers 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

hehehe I could live on salads

My best weight loss was on holiday, i lost 9lbs in 2 weeks because i dont like the bread abroad so much so we bought an english loaf which i'd have like once a day for toast & it helped me a lot

I think i may want to try this natural detox thing.. but only after this weekend coz im going to be imbibing a hell of lot of alcohol

But so the question is, u just drink water? no fruits or vegetables at all? no saltine crackers or stuff like that?

I heard that most of the time you feel hunger pains, its actually thirst pains, and that you should drink water every time you feel it.
Is this true?

Is there any website that can explain the natural detox process a little clearer, I'm sure it must be a different ordeal for different people, I just want to find out more about it.

hunger is a throat and mouth sensation. Youll understand that on day 3. You just want to taste food basically. Your stomach could care less. And your body doesnt need it. Its all psychological hehe. and yes...just water. You can drink your piss too I guess, but I dont think you should

That's my problem, because this weekend is going to be an out of control party so I'm questioning whether or not it's even worth it to start now and then destroy it all immediately or wait until next week.

Oarbacks you probably know better than I would.

as long as you stop eating right now and dont eat until the party.

FYI: You get SO FUCKED UP when youve been fasting for 3 days and then you drink. Cheapest way to get drunk on earth. Its fucking awesome.

The uber benefits of a fast happen at day 3. so youd get some. But there are definite benefits of just 1-2 day fasts. If nothing else, i would fast until saturday morning then have some fruits and veggies. have half a sammich for lunch, and then a decent dinner and go party.

then next week do a longer fast.

first two days your body burns muscles ...then switches over to fat in a fun little process called ketosis

Ketones are sometimes referred to as the products of partially burned (or metabolized) fat. If you are not taking in enough carbohydrates or fats to supply your caloric needs, your system first draws upon your stored body fat to supply your energy needs.
But your body does not succeed in completely consuming all the fat it attempts to metabolize in your cells. The waste products of this process - the partially burned fat, or "ashes"- are called ketones. If you are producing them, it is a sign that your body is burning off fat at an accelerated rate; you are enjoying Fast Fat Metabolism.

And that is what we want- the utilization of fat stores for calories and energy. Pulling excess fat out of the fat storage areas is an integral part of an effective reducing process; your body becomes a fat-burning machine.

Well, not drinking on Friday night is impossible considering I'll have like 10 friends in town and it IS Halloween night. If you've never seen Halloween in Madison then I can't really explain to you how out of hand it gets.

So Monday night --> Friday afternoon is what I'll be working with. I think I'll start again next Monday.


Erhm, btw, is it healthy to do this on a regular basis, like once a month or so? Or should it only be done in less regular intervals?

Id probably say a major fast of 5+ days once every 3 months is solid, but a one day fast every week wouldnt cause any problems.and us heavy drinkers should probably not end a fast with uber nights...


plus I fucking forgot that friday is halloween man. FUCK...OH HHOHOHHOHOHOHO NO WORK FRIDAY NO WORK SATURDAY TILL 4;30


OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT


BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHA
