PS-Start Water Fast for 40-60 Days NEW
by: Tara198421

P.S.- My advice to anyone beginning fasting is to drink seltzer to help deal with the hunger pains. This is what always helps me get through the really tough times of fasting...anytime you think your body is telling you that you are hungry drink water or seltzer!! Find something to do to distract you from thinking too much about food. Also remember that the few minutes you enjoy eating food and breaking your fast will make you feel more upset for the rest of the day and in the long run...this is something I would tell myself to help when I wanted to break down.

I also will be doing this fast a little differently by taking Oxyelite pro (i used this diet pill during my hcg type diet weight loss-it gives energy and helps suppress hunger. I know you are not suppose to use appetite suppressants while fasting but I would like to see the results/difference in doing so.

I also will consistently take a multivitamin because I failed to do so with my first 37 day water fast and I talked myself into breaking the fast because of how weak and sick I felt from not drinking enough water and not taking a multivitamin despite wanting to continue the fast. Lastly, I want to do at least 30 min of tae-bo or walking per day to see if this increases the weight loss rate.

Thank you all again and best of luck to you all!! :)

Start Water Fast for 40-60 Days NEW
by: Tara198421

Hey all,
I posted here back in August of 2009. At that time I made it 21 days fasting and lost 32 lbs. I continued for another 16 days a total of 37 days and lost 46 lbs. Unfortunately, over a year and a half I gained it all back and then some after slowly returning to my previous poor eating habits--fast food, high calories junk foods, lots of drinking, and lots of Italian food.
Last September (2011) I started a diet similar to HCG diet which I ate only 500 calories a day (started at 275). I did this with 1 hour of tae-bo a day. I lost 21 lbs in 10 days...basically the same weight loss from 10 days of water fasting without any exercise. I continued this diet for a little over 2 months (I'm 5"7) and went from 275 to 225. I haven't dieted much since then and would like to do another water fast of def. 40 days but hopefully 60 days. I currently weight 229. I have completed 1 day so far (began April 30,2012) and lost 3 lbs in one day thus far. Please e-mail me at tara198421@aol.com if you would like to join me or check in with my progress. I will try to update my info here when I can. You can read my post from August 2009 by scrolling down on this page.
Thank you all and best of luck to you all on your fasting and/or weight loss journey's! Here is my inspiration and proof water fasting produces rapid and significant results (Tempest and Aaron Cohen were my inspiration for the 1st fast in 2009). Youtube user Aaaron Cohen did three 40 day water fasts and went from 199 to 109 at her lowest and maintained in the 120's after breaking the fast:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOs7Fa0mNkY&feature=related

The above link is actually someone batting her for her belief in god, but still shows the results.

This is her actual posting from day one of 40:

Oh my gosh, finally something to help me!! I;ve tried everything, pills, starvation diets (you ate little) and nothing ever worked. I'm 245lbs and I'm a 15yr old girl. I look like an oompa loompa. This water fast just gave me incredible hope that I can still get to my goal weight!!! Anyone else that is looking for a buddy to do this water fast with, my email address is jaymeangeles@gmail.com :) Just email me and I'd love to be buddies and help motivate people. I plan on doing this until I reach my goal weight of 110lbs (I'm pretty short so it's not me being underweight or me being unrealistic...) so I'd have to lose 135lbs (Whole nother person...geez) so I don't know if it will take 40 days or 60 but I won't stop til I hit my goal :)

I missed my wife which was my ex before badly. My family and friends were tired of me being so upset one of them actually ordered a Love Spell for me From Freemercytemple@yahoo.com I had no idea what they had done for me. They ordered the Free mercy spell for me as i see to my eyes and feelings that it was my best and most powerful and effective Love Spell. Needless to say, I was shocked to see my wife at the door a week later with her eyes full of tears, .I cannot believe how well the spell worked any similar problem should call to him for help freemercytemple@yahoo.com i believe he can help you. -- tilly

TRYING TO DECIDE NEW
by: CupCate

Hi all. I found this website by googling "obese and fasting"... I was trying to find out how dangerous it can be. I suffer from binge eating disorder and over the last two years I've gained 70 lbs, lost 65 lbs, and recently regained 50 lbs. When I lost the 70 lbs I did it quick (4 months) through eating about 1000 calories a day and excessively exercising, about 2-3 hours/day. I'm so mad at myself for regaining so much weight and I just want it to be gone as fast as possible. I'm 5' tall and I weigh 178. I've been fasting for 2 days, I don't want to stop, but I'm scared that something bad could happen to my health. I have a daughter and I'm a single mom so nothing can happen to me! Is anyone equipped to reassure us that this is safe? I have the will and the want, but I also have A LOT of worry. What does this do to our organs? Our fertility? Our brains? Our muscle mass? Anyone with answers, please write back.

I trust him NEW
by: Mohammed

My Name is Mohammed.I never believed in Love Spells or Magics until I met this special spell caster once when i went to Africa to Execute some business. He is really powerful. The woman i wanted to live the rest of my life with left me 3 weeks to our wedding ceremony and my life was upside down. She was with me for 8 years and i really love her so much. She left me for another man with no reason. When i called her she never picked up my calls and she don’t want to see me around her and she also deleted me from her facebook account. so, when i told the man what happened. He helped me to do some readings,and after the readings he made me to realize that the other man has done some spells over my wife and that is the reason why she left me. He told me he will help me to cast a spell that bring her back. At first i was skeptical but i just gave it a try. In 4 days, she called me herself and came to me apologizing for all that happened. I never believed that she was going to come back but today i have her by my side with the love and care i was wanted from her. This man is good and he is the author of my happiness. His email is oldreligoin@gmail.com

HI ,even if you did start can I be your buddy. Im starting this fast on saturday January 14, 2012. Are you in? Because I have diabetes type II, Im doing an intermittent fast. Eating salad and or soup, once a day and taking water with lemon to clean the liver and water with unsweetened cranberry juice to clean the kidneys for 70 days and then progressing to just plain water after 100 lbs lost or until my body feels stronger. I feel like my organs are congested and I need to clear them out. At this point is a matter of health. Im too young to feel like this. If you started already post results.Let me know if not to go at it together. Good Luck.

Life is all about good and bad experience
by: Peggy Brandt

Life is all about good and bad experience. It was all good and lovely when i met Mark, he was a good business man until things become rough for him and his business empire started liquidating. I was a very courageous woman so i decided to sell my inheritance to assist him. We both struggle together and built the business world again. This time around the business was growing from strength to strength. I was surprise one Sunday evening when Mark came home with her secretary and he told me that we cannot continue with this pretense called love. I was shocked and heart broken, i was in a friend, house for three weeks crying all days until i met Nicky my old friend at the supermarket, she directed to me to the Ancient Remedy Temple. I contacted Dr. Hunt and he told me that Mark was been manipulated by some spiritual spirit and he told me to provide some amount of money for the some items which he is going to use to destroy the evil spirit. I never believe in voodoo in my life but i have to give him a trial. To my greatest surprise, Mark called and started apologizing 4 days after i sent Dr. Hunt the money. I was very happy and will continue to be happy for the good work the Ancient Remedy Temple has done in my life. Problems are been solved when good people like Dr. Hunt are on this planet, please contact him through ancientremedy1@gmail.com if you need any support in any problems in life. I love Ancient Remedy Temple

I have REALLY bad stretch marks on my stomach, arms, chest, and back. I gained 100 lbs very rapidly and the marks are a result of that. Will water fasting make my skin shrink with my weightloss regardless of the stretch marks? Or is that just a lost cause? :(

Interesting!
by: Liz from the UK

I calculated what zero calories (water has no calories as you know) does for your weight on the LoserTown calculator and it's astonishing how much weight you will lose, because of such a large calorie deficit. I also do not believe in starvation mode (scientifically speaking - it has NOT been proven to exist, contrary to what your diet magazine claims) and I've heard many similar stories, so this story is likely to be true, at least there's no logical fallacies in it AFAIK.

I've done a VLCD (<500 calories) before and lost a stone in about a week and a half, I'm 15.5 stone (229lbs) but I dropped down to 14, I gained it back, but only because I gave up and returned to my old comfort zone of overeating. I found that the only time I got to eat made it more tempting to eat more, so I'm thinking of embarking on a water fast next week. I just dread the damned hunger pangs and detox symptoms.. and the fact delicious junk food is everywhere, I also dread my family.. they want me to lose weight, however my mum is a firm believer in the old "exercise and eat enough, but healthily" and will worry if I lose too much weight too fast..

HELP!!!!
by: Uncooperative Faster

Hello Everyone!

Lets just give myself the name of Desperate Faster! I've been starting a fast for the past 10 days now, and I can't seem to let myself go through it. I've done a 15 day fast before, and it seemed simple, now I'm having trouble breaking out this 30 day fast I want to accomplish.

I keep telling myself i just want to enjoy my last meal, but my last meal always seem to never get here. I'm always like I wanna enjoy this meal first, oh I wanna eat this before and yada yada yada... I really really really need encouragement, perhaps a 30 day fasting buddy, someone to motivate me!!!

At the same time, anyone with any encouraging words....Lay them on me... I'm all for it!!!

read up first
by: Dee

I see this page is still getting comments so I thought that I would add that a water or juice fast does aid in losing weight but most people can't just randomly do it or there can be adverse affects to the body. most people need a preparation period first. I would encourage everyone to do a thorough search first. And please, for those of you who succeed, read about how to break a fast!

I have fasted for 7 days twice a year since I was 16. I'm almost 25 now. Understand that depending on your own body, how much fat you have and a few other factors that the first 3-30lbs (yes you read that right) could all be just water weight. Meaning as soon as you eat something, expect to gain the majority of it all back. your body will eventually start to burn fat though. so don't focus too much on looking at the scale, look at yourself in the mirror.

I find doing a water fast easier than a juice fast because it takes longer for the hunger pains to die down and you're more likely to give into temptation while juicing. But overall you reap the same benefits. After the 2nd to 3rd day it is all just mental because the actual feeling of being hungry is gone but you will probably still want to eat just because you're used to eating or you're bored or emotional.

Don't try doing anything too strenuous while fasting or you run the risk of fainting. If you stay on it long enough you should reach a place where you feel completely energized and ready to tackle just about anything. and your body lets you know you need to rest to keep up this feeling, for most people it's around 10pm, which was strange for me because i rarely go to bed before 3 am.

some people tend to break down around 14-21 days but for most people it's still just mental. Your body will let you know if you're pushing your limits with a fast. The longest I've fasted was 36 days out of a hopeful 40 day fast. But my body was ready for nourishment again. don't feel like you've failed if your body says it's time to stop.

breaking a fast varies for different people but you want to do it slow! I like to go from a water fast to two juiced veggies meals and a raw fruit meal. the more time your body has to slowly begin functioning again, the better it will be when you start to go back to regular food. then after 3 days of that i introduce raw veggies and soups. about a week off the fast i add a little light fish(if you go with tuna, don't make it like a tuna sandwich with mayo,relish, etc! just plain fish). I wait until about a week and half to two weeks off of my fast to have chicken or beef but i don't eat a lot of red meat anyway)

good luck!

Very Encouraged
by: Anonymous

I have been obese since high school and I am now 31 with four kids. Food has become my first love and sometimes I just eat because I am bored. This story has encouraged me to want to loose the weight I carry around on my petite frame. I am only 5'2 and weigh 281. I am looking for a fasting buddy to go on a 40 day fast with me. Sometimes it is just easier when you have a motivational partner cheering you on, that is also going through the same thing. mytyme531@yahoo.com thanks

JUST WHAT I NEEDED TO READ
by: LEIGH IN GA

HEY EVERYONE IT'S ME AGAIN MY LAST POST WAS ON JUNE 21, 2011 AT 228LBS. I BET YOUR WONDERING WHY DID IT TAKE YOU SO LONG TO POST AGAIN... RIGHT??? WELL FASTING IS A LITTLE HARDER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SO ON JUNE 22 I FASTED LOST 3LBS THEN I ATE ON JUNE 23.
I STARTED AGAIN ON JUNE 25 AND I WAS SUPER READY OR SO I THOUGHT CAUSE ON THE 27TH ONCE AGAIN I BEGAIN TO EAT. THIS IS WHEN I REALIZED 3 THINGS: 1). I NEED BETTER SELF CONTROL BECAUSE I WASN'T SUPER HUNGRY LIKE I WAS ON THE 1ST DAY I JUST REALLY WANTED TO EAT.
2). I NEEDED TO SET SOME TYPE OF GOAL FOR MYSELF INSTEAD OF THE OBVIOUS JUST LOSE WEIGHT.
3). THIS IS GOING TO TAKE MORE EFFORT THAN ALL THE OTHER DIETS THAT I'VE TRIED.
SO I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT THIS 225 THAT I WAS CURRENTLY CARRYING AROUND AND I SET A START AND END DATE. JULY 1 TO JULY 7 SEVEN FULL DAYS 168 HOURS OF PURE WATER. I FINALLY COMPLETED MY GOAL AND MY ENDING WEIGHT WAS 210. THAT'S 15LBS!!!!!
I WANTED TO SEE IF I COULD KEEP IT OFF AND FOR THE PAST 22 DAYS I HAVE STILL HOLDING STRONG AND 210 TO 212 AND PRETTY DANG HAPPY ABOUT IT TO LOL.
SO TODAY I DECIDED THAT I'M GOING TO FAST AGAIN SO THIS IS OFFICALLY DAY 1 AGAIN. I REALLY WANT TO DO A 27DAY FAST ONE DAY FOR EACH YEAR THAT I'VE BEEN ON THIS EARTH. SO THAT WOULD GIVE ME A END DATE OF AUG 24,2011. BUT IT WOULD BE AWESOME TO GET TO 195. MAYBE WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. I PROMISE TO TRY TO KEEP YOU POSTED THIS TIME.

Has any heard from Tempest?
by: mO

When I first read this post a year ago, I found it very inspiring. But has anyone actually heard from Tempest? I haven't seen any comments from her since her original post (or am I missing something), unlike some others who have posted their successes and answered questions. I would think you'd be yelling from the roof tops regarding your astounding success.

Now I'm wondering, did you actually complete a 60-day water fast? If so, how are you doing now? Were there any ill effects? (I'm thinking about Kenny Saylors who completed a 55-day fast, made a documentary (which I can't find anywhere to purchase), and, unfortunately, reverted back to his bad habits.)

Fully understand, I believe in water fasting, even limited dry fasting, and have done so myself. And I do hope all is well with you, Tempest. However, for me, your silence is unsettling.

Wonderful testimony and information. I needed to read this today. I'm very much over weight/mob obese. I pray to God that he will help me get through this fast. I want my beautiful body back that I use to have. My fat makes me feel caged in sometimes. It keeps me from enjoying life fully. I'm always worried about if I can fit in a seat/booth or whatever. I know that I need to get this fast started and completed. Lord please help me, I can only do it through your strenght and help. Thank you Tempest for your story.

40 days MAXXXXX
by: Anonymous

Hello all, as her post was very encouraging id advise everyone to not do a fast for more than 40 days. Its has been proven that no one should do a fast for more than 40 days. Also pls drink only 2 - 3 liters of water because there is such thing as water intoxication. But fasting does work. Ive suffered with my weight for years, exercised and ate right but the weight never came off quik enough until I fasted. So good luck all & please be smart.

Thank You Temptest
by: Earthsong

Hey girl, wanted to thank you for being brave and posting your testimonial.I am a long time believer in fasting and have done lots of week long and one 14 day fast before.I was trying to get in the mode for a much longer fast to take off my excess wieght once and for all because i cannot stick to a diet, but i can go without food once i get past the first few days.Any way i was in the process of getting going on a fast by trying everyday to fast and always eating something in the evening. After reading your testimonial and finding a fasting buddy on this site, it was just what i need to get going. I am only on day 4 and have 36 to go but I feel like it is time in my life to take care of me and your testimony gave me that extra push that i needed. I am writing to thank you. I plan to write when i get further into it, also. Just taking one day at time , believing that the fat will come off if i just drink water(because it will) and not getting caught up in what the scale says. Clothing and mirror are better indicators of results anyway.
I am drinking great tea and Yerba Mate tea with a little fresh lemon in it along with water.
Thanks again for sharing with the world quite an amazing but i believe true story

Be Healthy
by: Anonymous

I read your article and I am happy for your weight loss.

Unfortunately the way you have gone about it and are encouraging others to do so is very deceiving. By fasting you will slow your matabolism down. When you resume eating again your body will now store everything as fat reserves.

You want to build muscle. For every pound of muscle you gain in a month your body will metabolize faster and burn a 1/2 a pound of fat.

I encourage 5 SMALL meals a day. A serving size is about the size of your palm. Eat every 3 hours, but only small meals with more lean meats, green veggies, and whole grains.

This coupled with regular cardio and strength training exercises and your body will work for you.

I give you this information, because I know how challenging it is to find good information. I hope that you will continue to feel good about yourself in a healthy way. Best of luck and I hope this information is valuable to you.

Hi,

Ive read your peice on 'Water fasting'

You wrote if you way 170 pounds not to fast for 60 days.

Isnt 60 days a very long time to not be taking in a nutrients into your body?

Isn't this very dangerous?

Did you not loos alot of muscle tissue rather than fat?

please be honest because i have never known anyone to starve for 60days and be ok.

i would like to support water fasting since a also tried that. 40 days on water. had 128 kg (i think that is around 256 pounds). lost 50 pounds. it was very hot sumer and had to spend outdoor over 12 hours at work (constuction). so i had to use a lot of muscle during that period and funny part was that fating made me stronger. sun didn't bother me, heavy work also. every day at 10 pm a had this strong urge to go to sleep and it was good and deep sleep. after 40 days my first meal was a pound of sousage and a pound of cheese haha. i was expecting to have gastro nightmare becouse of that but nothing happend. also when a started i was loosing 10 pounds per week but in last week barely 2!. and there was no extra skin even i had relativley big belly. sorry for bad english.

by: Appletini

I am someone who can relate to your testimonial. At this point in my life I am at 275 but recently lost 30 lbs from stress. I have always had issues with myself because of problems in my childhood. It led to bad relationships, bad decisions, and bad eating habits.

I started my fast today as I have finished mourning the end of my last bad relationship. I am mentally prepared to focus on myself and my health. I am fasting not only for my health but for my future.

It really helps to see someone who has maybe gone through some of what I have been through and made it!

I will update as I go and hopefully will be able to offer a testimonial :)

Thank you so much for sharing.

I don't know if you even visit this site anymore but, I do understand why you don't include contact info. It would be a full time job just answering everyone. You hear so much about how water fasting can be dangerous if one has health issues but I've come to the conclusion it can't be any more dangerous than carrying around all this weight. Desparate times call for Desparate measures so to speak. I would need the 60 days like you did. 125lbs div.by 60 days is roughly 2lbs. per day. I'm at the same place you were+ some. I hope I can lose it that fast. I'm so glad you did it while you were young. Age just makes weight a bigger battle ( bigger but not impossible). Drop me a line if you can at: 4awayout@gmail.com.

Colon Cleansing

Hi!

Your story is inspiring and motivating. I am knowledgable about the fasting process, but I was looking for you to mention what you did regarding colon cleansing (working your bowels) during your fast. With other fasts, Laxative teas and the Salt Water Flush are recommended. Should this be done during a water fast as well? Please get back to me on this ASAP at mmjisbad@yahoo.com.

I will start my water fast on December 28th at a starting weight of 234lbs at a height of 5'8.

by: Leila

i think my first fast was @ like 32. The more i read the more i agreed that we were not meant to live this way.

I was encouraged and extremely happy to find so many that agree with the stereotype that fasting is death... fasting is life. Read or goggle herbert shelton he was one of the first authors that encouraged what can be achieved by fasting. I feel great and rejuvenated each time.

I had never really fasted for weight loss before. but have gone through a kind of depression in the last year and a half and put on more pounds than i can handle.

I look and cannot believe i let this happen!

so i started my fast on yesterday. I have a 9yo old son so cooking can be a problem in the beginning, so that is why i thank you by hearing your testimony to puch on

Great Job Your an Inspiration
by: Anonymous

Congrats on your amazing water fast. You actually inspired me to start my own water fast. I've now been water fasting for 21 days. I have lost 32 lbs. so far. I started at 260 and I now weigh 228 lbs. I would really like to make it another 56 days, but I'm not sure if thats possible. I'm def. aiming for 40 days. Anyways my question is what type of exercising did you do doing your water fast? I haven't really done any exercising thus far, but I was thinking of walking or riding a stationary bike for 1/2 hr to an hour a day to help with my weight loss. I lost the most, 20 lbs in the first 10 days and pretty much around 1 lb/day since. I was hoping to lose 1.5 to 2 lbs a day like you did. Please e-mail at Tara198421@aol.com. I would love to hear any input you might have about the exercise you did with your 60 day fast. Thanks!

Thank you for helping make an easy decision. I was about to order the hcg diet plan for over $100. You only eat 500 calories a day and can lose up to 2lbs a day. I don't have to worry about the food, the hcg drops and the money now that I've made the choice to stick to water fasting. I fasted one day last week and lost 5lbs. Congrats on your success and thanks for your story and being an inspiration to so many people struggling with their weight. I need to lose 50-60 more lbs. I already lost 50, which was a challenge going to the diet doctor and taking pills. No more of that.

Thank YOU!
by: Victoria

Thank you so much for posting your story - I have been looking forever online to find one like yours, with such positive results! I have done much research on fasting and I truly believe it is the solution to obesity, or at least a very important tool that does not get utilized like it should.

The longest complete fast I have ever done was 14 days. I only drank alkaline water, as much as I could. The results were fantastic, my skin cleared up and was glowing, my body felt better in so many ways, and yes, I did lose a lot of weight. I have been struggling with food since high school, where it started to become a problem, and food became like a drug to me.

I am currently on day 3 of my fast, and I hope to go the distance on this one. I am educated on all the areas of fasting and I know what to expect. On my 14 day fast I could have gone for longer,easily, but the boredom and desire to eat got to me so I broke it. I wasn't even really hungry, but eating is pleasurable.

I am so happy to see where fasting has gotten you, I know it will work for me too, so long as I am disciplined enough to overcome the temptations. Ok, so now for the Numbers, which everyone wants to hear! :)

I am 5 foot 10 inches and I weight 295 pounds now. My all - time high was 309. I was skinny as a child and normal as a teenager until about age 15 when the pressures of life and high school got to me and I started putting on weight. I am 26 now, and since then my weight has gone up and down and then up again many times.

The lowest I can remember weighing in my adult life was 158 pounds at around age 19. I would like to get there again, and maybe even to 145 or 150. Although, for me to even get back down to 200 pounds would be a miracle and I would love it! I love talking about weight loss and fasting and I absolutely love seeing other people's success stories, it is so inspirational!

Thank you for your story.

Weight loss
by: Ty

I'm 252 pounds and have attempted to fast in the past. I'm new to the this and am struggling something awful! I have a terrible time sticking with it. I eat (what feels like all the time) with absolutely no self-control what-so-ever. I really want to lose it, but can't seem to. I was diagnosised with high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, stomach ulcers, and syncope episodes and believe that fasting to lose weight would benefit me greatly. I'm only 30 and would hate to die over a behavior (over eating) that is self-induced. Do you have any suggesions?

Thanx!

For Tempest
by: Casey

If this actually worked for you, being 200+ lbs then that is what I need. I am 5ft 3in and I weight 235lbs. My ideal weight for my height and my age(29yrs) should be 132lbs. I need to lose roughly 100lbs and have no problem exercising.

PLEASE email me at syndy21@yahoo.com if solely drinking water for two months will rid me of those 100lbs.

questions
by: Anonymous

I have a very stressful job and work a lot of hours. Did you work during this fast or did you have flexibility and time to rest.

I've done a 21 day juice fast before with great results - I was down 25 pounds but did have moments (maybe 4 days out of the 21) that I was severely week and had to go to bed and rest. Then, I would have many moments of great energy.

I'd love to hear back from you - I'm starting at about the same weight you did and have the same amount to lose.

I Feel Encouraged
by: theresa

That was amazing. i loved your story. i tried to start a fast on Wednesday but i ate an orange, then Thursday i had 2 grapefruit.

Friday i broke down and had some cashews, soy nuts and grapefruit I was never really hungry just wanted to eat. It happens around dinner time when I'm preparing my daughters dinner.

I need to fast to get control over my eating. I don't eat bad food but I eat a lot of good food, which doesn't do any good in the calories department. I'm Hypothyroid because of surgery to remove my thyroid due to a goiter and its driving me crazy not being able to lose weight.

I'm in the military and I have to lose 20 lbs in 3 weeks or it will inhibit my promotion opportunity. I can't allow that to happen; I'm pretty desperate right now. Your story gave me a little hope. It would be nice to hear from you. THANK YOU for sharing.

Just a question
by: Monique

I started water fasting 4 days ago and my only concern is what happens after the fast ends. Will I gain weight at an extremely rapid pace? I hope not.

It takes a lot of discipline, but I need to cleanse my body, lose fat, and beat my addiction to unhealthy foods and beverages.Any advice or words of motivation?

Does This Really Work
by: Sindy

I was wondering if this was a hoax or the real deal? I started a water fast today not really for weight lost but for mental, spiritual, emotional release and thought after reading your testimony that it seems amazing but naturally I have doubts about how valid & realistic this process is -
you can email me

Congrats!!
by: Anonymous

Wow! Thats amazing, I am on day one of a 30 day water fast-I want to and hope to lose at least 1 pound everyday however my question is regarding the dizziness-I get dizzy and weak, how do I better this? Did you add salt to the water to take the weak spells away?

Secondly, did you regain any weight back? I am told that even with healthy eating I ll gain weight!!!!

Again, well done-you have done well for urself. I dont have the guts to fast for longer than 30 days-i feel it might kill me-I weight 150 pounds, on a 5'5" frame.

Great work !!!!!
by: Anonymous

You are an inspiration....our lives are very similar minus the sexual abuse and I'm a man. Growing up was a brutal experience for me.

At 12 I was in excess of 200lbs .. by 16 300lbs and teased without mercy. Fasting has taken the pain and anger along with 100lbs of fat .... my starting weight was 270 through the years my weight has been up and down ..

Mow I'm 38 years old and finally in control for the first time in my life I'm in a relationship . I actually have a girlfriend ........ Unbelievable!!!!!!

Hats Off To You !!! Please Help!
by: Anonymous

Please help me. I am only 5"2 at weigh 235 pounds. I have struggled with my weight since childhood.

However, in my college days I dropped to 160 pounds and kept it off for 4-5 years. But then, after two pregnancies and a divorce, I again have gained a lot of weight and have now reached 235 lbs.

I promised myself I am starting the water fast from tomorrow.I am a vegetarian so I guess I won't have those detoxification blues. I don't work but have 2 young kids to take care of.

Can I drive and do the normal household chores during a fast? I would love to hear from you, your comments and/or suggestions.

Please e-mail me at sufferer2005@yahoo.ca

That's Amazing
by: Marie

Wow. Your story is amazing. I would love to talk to you more in depth, i.e. how often during the day you drank water, did you do enemas or anything like that, what type of exercise and for how long, etc. Would you mind e-mailing me so we can chat? Thanks!

Wow!
by: Lisa

Your story is truly inspiring! I plan on starting a water fast next week. I'm trying to eat clean for a few days and reduce my intake to ease into it first.

I've lost 70 pounds over the past 6 through diet but I'm still at 160! And I'm only 19 at 5'3. =/ I would love to have an experience like yours! I have one question for you, do you have any stretch marks left? (I'm just assuming you had some.)

I still have every mark from my heaviest weight of 227 and I'm hoping if I water fast for 3 weeks they'll go away as well. They really bother me. =/ I'd love your feedback!
