Im only drinking water this week but im curious as to whether or not i can drink Green Tea?
Green Tea has many beneficial properties including lipo-proteins and antioxidants. Just wondering if it would be a good thing or a bad thing to consume during detox? |

Interestingly enough, i started my fast last night. Tonight i went swimming at a hotel pool and it had a hot tub. I sat in there for a good hour and it felt great.
We'll see how this week progresses... |
I stopped eating last night too, and I went swimming this morning. And I'm hungry.
It's only 1:40 p.m. here in Germany and I already drank about a gallon of water.
This thread is really good motivation. |

If you do this Ian im gonna open up a burger van outside your house, David Blaine style! 
I don't think I could go 5 hours without eating something, let alone 5 days. that :eek: |

| A true fast would still be...you guessed it...just water :D but I think a tea fast would kick ass in other ways also. Why not do both? |

I found this interesting piece on Detoxing
http://yoga.about.com/library/weekly/aa061001a.htm
It pretty much says the same stuff that we've talked about on here, only instead of just water it says you can consume fresh fruit and veggies, rice, beans, fish, nuts etc..
So would i still be detoxing if I nibble on some of these items? or should i stick strictly to water?
BTW this isnt a means for me to crack and breakdown just to get any morsel of food in my mouth. I can hold out on water for fine now, but i'm just wondering what the best course is.
It seems to me that you need some sort of sustenance to keep your energy up, but then again the water is doing just fine as well. |

I'm planning on doing one, knowing im weak anyway due to overindulgence & lack of excercise involving fruits & veg & water, if after a day or so i feel like it i might go just to water for a day, but im doubtful that i could do it |

basic principles:
Raw things digest themselves. As soon as they get oxidized the enzymes within them are released and they start killin themselves. Raw meat, veggies, everything. When you cook it all it kills the enzymes so your body must produce some to get the job done.
Your body isnt used to raw food. So you throw anything in there and its gonna pump enzymes out till it realizes (whoa, this dont need our help)
You only have so many enzymes. Part of the reason for your dying is you run out. Your body stops making them after a while.
You must train your body to not produce so much for stuff. (quit eating fake foods like ing donuts)
Not many poeple are at the level where a raw fast would do the same as a water fast. They throw anything in, their body pumps out, and roils and burbles and its like eatin for sheezay.
Moral: Prep for a fast with a couple of days of raw foods and then fast and then come out with a couple of days of raw food.
start meals with raw foods.
Never eat fruit anything but first. It ferments on top of the other and is bad for you..
more pearls of wisdom later. |

Ok Orbax I have a couple of questions since u seem to be pretty well informed about this fasting thing.
First thing is I would fast for the health reason and not weight loss since I am pretty lean(so losing too much weight would be a problem for me) Anyways by fasting wouldn't my body start burning muscle first and then fat(if this is the case, I would look ethiopian in a couple of days, due to low body fat and I don't want to lose muscle so what can i do to minimize this?) and could i work out while fasting? Would I have energy? Can I build muscle while fasting? should I take supplements like Centrum and Vitamin C?
Questions Questions Questions..
Thnx for ur help... |
