    Have you tried a long fast? 20+ days?
    If you start eating and you feel distress, heart palpilations, abdominal pain or if your tongue yet has not cleared up, or natural hunger set in (you crave simple foods) then u have ended your fast prematurely, at least according to some writers, and this one is very experienced indeed.

    The first 2 days of the fasting is "withdrawal" the abdominal area is craving food but it is not real hunger, after that hunger disappears and the body goes in cleansing mode. if you are obese, you can make sure that you can stand fasting over a month, just take it easy, do not get upset or do any physical activity other than walk out to get your letters and back and forth to the bathroom. You should try it IGY

    Increase of symptoms in the early days of a fast or the development of new ones should not cause the fast to be broken. The really healthy person experiences no reactions from the fast. Major Austin says: "A very good test indeed of a so-called perfectly healthy person's real state of health is the effect produced on him or her by missing one or two meals. If the tongue begins to get coated and the breath foul and the individual feels seedy and out of sorts, it is proof positive that the state of health is not as good as it was supposed to be." The more severe the reactions produced the greater is the real need for the fast. "In exact proportion to the severity of her fasting symptoms," says Dr. Dewey (A New Era for Women), "so is her need to persevere and for the reason that they all mean disease in course of development."
     
  4. I have found three articles that might be interesting; I haven't read them entirely yet, and these are not the ones I was thinking about, but it might be a good beginning.

    I am extremely interested in fasting, but my first and foremost priority is running and I'm very afraid that it alters my training. I have fasted for religion once the Easter; for 5 days the ONLY thing I got to eat was a loaf of special bread a day. The bread was specially designed to be balanced for this particular fast. It was more a spiritual fast, but it was extremely hard. I was supposed to last a week but couldn't. And it was basic food. The bread, water, and tea. That's all. I couldn't. I got extremely sick of the taste of the bread after 4 days, and I got physically ill because the diet wasn't balanced. And when I got back to normal food, I did it too brutally and was a walking wreck for a week and a half. I could do with a better experience.

    I also tried intermittent fasting but idk why it led me to some hardcore binge eating and junk food cravings. The puking one of kinds. I wouldn't eat anything at all after 8pm, and would only eat after my run, the day after, around 8am. It din't did me well, and I was absolutely unable to stand the withdrawals.

    Wet dreams can be the body's desperate way of getting rid of toxins and excess nutrients

    They talk about paleo with intermittent fasting.

    However, you just prooved it yourself. Your body got sick just by the taste of food, because your body did not need it. You lost your appetite right? Because you weren't supposed to eat, yet you did. You still benefitted from that fast. The person should not begin to eat before natural hunger sets in and the tongue and breath clears up.

    Very interesting that you said that, just strengthened my beliefs.

    But maybe it's not advisable for people with eating disorders, but I'm feeling great, and I'm skinny. My tongue is really coated at the moment, and I can feel that my breath is really disgusting, proves I was in great need of a fast.
     
  9. Sorry, gonna look for more. They are worth reading though. I still am not convinced that IF is good for women. We are different than men and it wouldn't be surprising if our diets had to be different too.

    Gneh. I was starting to write something that would be contradictory to you as an habit but actually you may have a point here. However, I don't understand the did not need it part. Of course I needed it. I was hungry as fuck at this point. I was at home, and my mom is both an excellent cook and crazy about eating healthy, easy, normal food. So I was seeing my brother and sister eating this super healthy food and I got sick of my bread. What I'm trying to say is that I much preferred eating my bland bread that nothing at all. Jesus I still have the taste of this bread in my mouth.

    It seemes you missed the opening sentence of my post, so I will repeat it:

    20 days? More like 40 years! I will be eating in about half an hour after my daily 16+ hour fast.

    But I mean long periods of fasting without taking in any food at all. That is not real fasting, you just interrupt the process all the time.

    Aha then I misunderstood sorry. If you was hungry, you had to eat obviously. Listening to the body is the most important thing, only the body can decide what is good and what is not. So you did the right thing, but next time take it easier with the food when you start eating again and make sure to chew a lot and eat slowly. :rolleyes:

    "When a sick person misses a customary meal, he gets weak before he gets hungry. When a healthy person misses a customary meal he gets hungry before he gets weak."

    Well shit. I must have been sickly for most of my youth then. Never did feel stomach hunger properly. Now that I've put on a little weight (BMI over 21.0 woot!) I get hungry right around mealtimes, those being naturally "set" to whatever times I ate in the last few days, but the feeling subsides with or without food. Not enough calories in one day catches up to me big time 24-48 hours later, with blood sugar all over the map and nausea. I think some folks are just not made to fast.

    I think I'd go on a vegetable only diet if I really wanted to purge for a few days. Fill the guts with kale and apples and whatnot. That way you're not contending with colonies of starving gut bacteria dying off and leaking poisons into the system as their little bacterial corpses decay in place.

    Clumsy it is a bodybuilding thing too. It can be a bodybuilding thing too.
    Hugh Jackman does it too. He fasts for 20 hours everyday.
    Anyway...You can't dismiss me straight away. And super long fasts and all the tongue coating thing are all not possible by everyone. only by people crazy enough like you. :p

    Fruit diets are often times beneficial with reportedly good results.

    I have now been fasting for 24 hours, and I do not feel hunger. I felt "hunger"--(craving for snacks and junk) yesterday night and when I woke up today I did not feel hunger - that is a proof that it was not real hunger.

    My tongue remains coated and I have no desire for food at all.

    Fasting 20 hours and then gorge in food, usually when the fast is prematurely ended is literally detrimental. I have fasted before, and I did not feel hungry, still I got scared and gorged myself in food and had heart palpilations and felt nauseous after.

    But if you fast 20 hours and then eat if you really need it, fine. But after 20 hours, how is your breath? How is your hunger? Are you weak? Tongue coated?

    I'm just fine :|
    And I'm always hungry :| my mom thinks that's annoying about me lol I'm basically a foodie.
    Short fasting periods aren't detrimental. Long fasting periods are. I mean come on that's way too extreme.
    I've done it for a month till my mom got tired of cooking dinner early for me lol.

    Anyway carry on with your fasting while I feast on an exotic fish curry and some hot steaming white rice to go with that. I d like some strawberry ice cream too. Yumm yumm.

    I have read about too many cases and prolonged fasting is not detrimental, the body will let me know when to eat.

    Do as you like, I have read about cases when impotency is cured after 60 days of fasting, people retaining their eyesight etc. And it is very logical to me.

    Anyway, I will eat when I feel real hunger. Right now I do not have any desire for food at all so why should I eat and go against my body? I want to be friend with my body, not its worst enemy.

    But it says itself, 60 days is for obese, and very ill people. I will go for a start on a week, or maybe 3 days. Then eat very low calory. I will listen to my body.
