I gave up on my fast because I realized that doing it this week was completely pointless. I am still making a point of drinking largely increased amounts of water and juices, but am going to eat some so I'm ready for the massive amounts of substances that will be bombarding me this weekend.

I'm starting the real 5-day version on Sunday --> Thursday of next week.

What good does near-hot water do as opposed to cold water?

Ok Orbax fair enough . How should water be divided in the day. Is it like a certain amount at a specific time (i saw you said the quart in the morning thing) or is it whenever you have cravings that water should be consumed?

Drinking near hot water serves several purposes:

1) Doesnt need to be heated by your body
2) The nature of hot liquids tends to thin the barriers and is able to super saturate cells and blood stream.

Try drinking only hot water for a week. The first couple times it will make you nauseous. After that you will crave it. It makes all of your veins and capillaries open right up, youll probably start sweating. It jump starts you into being active, and helps everything function better.

Dont be too constant on liquids. Too much water can flush out electrolyte balances. I would say a quart of hot water in the morning, and then a glass every two hours will be more than enough.

try to urinate before bed so your body can focus on other stuff and stop drinking a couple of hours before sleep.

basically go through about 3 quarts - 1 gallon of water a day and youre solid. I prefer getting a 1 gallon water bottle from the store.

Cheers

Be careful of how much juice you drink. It may seem healthy, but most juices contain an obscene amount of carbs and too much orange juice will cause ulcers to develop on the back of your tongue and in your stomach due to its acidity.

also juices have lots of sugar...

hmm, I do that, about 1 time every 10 days I dont eat anything. But I don't plan it, usually get too much into something and up eating nothing. Maybe it IS healthier.
Hope so

I've only been drinking cranberry juice, no OJ or anything acidic.

But then I went and ruined that tonight by drinking lots of vodka and beer.

But I already knew the fast was over until Sunday.
