Buddy Wanted for an 8-Day Water Fast

by Sally
(Chicago, IL)

Hi there,

I'm embarking on an 8-day water fast, which I may extend. The longest I've ever fasted before is 1 day, so this will be a definite challenge. I'm looking for a fasting buddy to keep me motivated, and to hold me accountable.

I do have a few questions for the experienced fasters out there. I should first mention that I am not overweight, but weigh about 10 pounds more than my ideal weight. I've recently been sucked into this horrible binge cycle, which I'm hoping to break with this fast.

Will this 8 day fast wreak total havoc on my metabolism? Is there anyway to come off a fast without gaining any weight? How long will it take my metabolism to get back to speed? What is the best way to do that?

I would like to eventually be consuming 1500 calories a day, split up into 5 or 6 meals throughout the day.

If you're interested, email me at s-slater@u.northwestern.edu.
