starstarstarstarstar 		Thank you NEW
by: Anonymous

Thank you for sharing your amazing story... I can relate to you in so many ways.
I am so sick and tired of binging especially after my fast.
So I decided to go on a longer fast which is 21days.
Im doing this all by myself in the small apartment in Tokyo where air is so polluted.
But when you really wish to change your life, little things doesn't matter anymore.
Today is the end of my Day 12.
I will go through all your site to keep me going.
Thank you again.
God bless

by: Jennifer J

Rob,

Thank you for your honesty and bravery. It has done me a great justice reading your story and hearing that like alcohol or cigarettes, a person can be addicted to food. I know I truly am. Mad, I eat. Happy, I eat. Unfortunately, it's usually to great excess.... I am determined to make a change. I know in order to do so, it will be mostly a spiritual journey for strength, healing, cleansing, and a change in mind set. Again, thank you for sharing your success story!!! You have touched me and countless others.

Wow, that is quite a story. I really appreciate the open and honest sharing. I have just come off of a 3 day water fast, that was as far as I could make it. i have had migraines most of my life (I'm 35) and am about 40-50lbs overweight. I'd like to fast longer but I just don't think I can do it, with having to cook,clean, and run around for my husband and 4 sons. I am going to try again though.

by: bruce m

hey rob,

great story, congratulations on taking control of your life...
i have my battles with food.......i find
the whole subject of food and what is right
and what is wrong so fascinating...
we hear very intelligent people telling
us what is good and what isnt, and the next day
hear more intelligent people contradict everything the previous person said.....

seems like no one has a handle on food and what is good and what is bad.
i am attracted to the raw food movement....makes so much sense to me......
but so does the mercola movement and metabolic
diet with quality proteins......
so confusing!!!!

i do want to juice fast more and more in my life
and it takes so much discipline......
i hope to hear more from you and allow y ou to support me to be strong so that i can make good choices instead of the food choosing me
best,
bruce

Hey Rob Im glad you were able to find freedom from food addiction and bring a new perspective to life. Your story is really emotional. I'm thankful God has helped you break through the darkness and see the Light. You had a rough start but now things are better. I myself have started a water fast just yesterday. I wish the best for you upon your spiritual journey. Take care.

by: Anonymous

Hi Rob

You and your story are amazing, that you came back from that.

I totally believe that fasting is the only way to break the terrible eating habits and food addiction that is so widespread today. I feel so ashamed at how many times I have eaten mindlessly and done myself untold harm. It is the threat of diabetes that has moved me to face my relationship with food right now.

To face your hunger(which is only a habit after all)head on and conquer it, to enable your body to cleanse and re-balance itself and then to only eat light nutritious food for the rest of your life is the only way forward that I can imagine.

You are so inspiring and so are all the people on this site, I feel so lucky to have found you all and I look forward to learning so much from you all.

Hey Rob
I feel like I know you already because we have a lot in common. I just want to commend you and thank you at the same time for sharing your testimony. It was truly a story that would move anyone. I too am on my journey to weightloss, and I am cherishing every pound lost. I am currently juice fasting, and I have lost 30lbs. I need to lose another 70LBs which is a total of 100Lbs. I know I could do it with the support of your website. I look forward to being on this site, and speaking with you soon.
Thanks

starstarstar 		wise up the sun is shineing
by: robert roger pelletier

my first fast 44 days in 1960, walked 7 miles per day to ensure a BM, drank juice of 2 lemons cut 50/50 with distilled water, drank aprox 450 grams of distilled water each day, after 44 days lost 33 pounds, ate a lettuce and tomato and mayo and the next morning i weighed 6 pounds more than the night before. the body requires 6 pounds of water to putrify whatever you consume so that the blood can crack the putrification and extract the free amino acids and free protein molecules for the blood that fuels the brain that is controlled by the mind. the brain/mind uses 73.5% of the fuel your body puts down the pipe with the balance being used by the physical aspects of the body. There are 2 kinds of protein ALPHA protein from the photosynthesis of the photons in the light from the sun- that is a repetative grnerator such that in aproximetly 12 times 100 millionth of a second the photons in the radiation produce 12 different frequencies equaling- hydrogen, helium, iron,nickel,oxygen,silicon,sulphor,magnesium,car-
bon,neon,calcium,chromium. these potentials are injected into the thermo syphoned ground state atoms of the plant that then enriches the ground state atoms to now posess full bodied proteins that make one smart, healthy and beautiful. BETA protein is animal blood and or eating the body parts. some of these animals are coprophalic by nature- not only do fools eat dung eaters but the chicken that eat defication are prized for the egg that comes out of the chickens rectum,of course they wash the shell- sometimes. sport fish eat live fish and their defication drops to the bottom of the sea and there are loads of critters that are coprophalic and feast on the dung. Jews are wise and do not eat these coprophalics and also do not eat the pig. Most people will consume
dung and think nothing of it- yet your mind was highly alergic and the outside of your body reflected the dung aspect of the BETA protein you were or probably still are ignorantly consuming. Wise up the SUN IS SHINING stop eating shit and see how sweet your life can really be. .....rrp

starstarstarstarstar 		Alteration to the plan:)
by: Kenny P

Well, I have had to make some major adjustments to my water fasting, as I have some issues that have arised due to my being on that God forsaken PREDNISONE!!!! My blood sugar went down to 47 the other day after my nurse came to check on me. That is dangerously low, so I have decided to alter my plan a bit. I will allow myself to eat a meal (healthy one) on Friday and Monday of each week (water fasting the day after both eating days) and juice fasting the other days of the week. Due to my medications and health conditions I am unable to do this WONDERFUL water fast for the 60 days that I had planned, but the core principles of it are being applied, and I guess you can say the way I am doing it right now is more like the maintenance phase for the future. On water fasting and juice fasting days I am including Stevia and Truvia natural sweeteners to my water to help maintain a normal blood sugar- if need be a little yogurt (easily digestible), so I may not lose the drastic amount of weight as quickly, but much more safely!!!

starstarstarstarstar 		Very motivational
by: Jessica

I too, have been struggling with my weight since before I can remember. At my low, after my uncle and his friends were picking on me, when i was 16 I started really dieting" the infamous 3-day diet" And gradually became anorexic. In trying to overcome this disorder I became bullemic and have been up until now at 24. When I was 23 I became pregnant and gave up trying to keep the weight off, and gained 90 lbs. I have since lost most of it but have gone back to the binging and purging and have decided to rid myself of this vicious cycle once and for all. I came across you site and it all clicked. I need to take a brake like in your story and focus on the pain built up inside from childhood abuse and in turn become a better mom for my son.
I would like to thank you for sharing your story as you are my inspiration. And will be coming back regularily as i have started my water fast today.

starstarstarstarstar 		What keeps me excited about this.....
by: Kenny P

Not only am I ecstatic about the future and seeing myself in my awesome clothes and jogging the mountains, etc...But what I failed to mention is that I have a very special reward-fail proof system to add to this site of wonderful people. I have been disabled since 2001, and therefore I am on a low monthly SSDI income. With that said, after rent I have very little left over for anything more than food. Since I am not eating this month, I figured to spend the extra money on Amazon to buy things that will make me happy and help with my process. For instance, I am buying a neck massager and a full body massaging device that you place on the bed or a chair and use via remote control- not to mention buying some juicing books and colon cleansers recommend to me by Rob. This way I am rewarding myself with some things that I will get to enjoy for years to come, while that will empty my bank account for the month- which in turn will keep me from being able to purchase the food I would usually binge on. It is just my little strategy. Next month when I begin the 60 day juicing fast, I will make sure to fix my car stereo and repaint the back FIN on my Mustang- doing things to reward myself for not spending all the excess money on JUNK FOOD. I feel this approach will be a win-win for me. Hope that inspires some of you too!!!

If any of you want to keep in touch with me regarding our fasts, please do not hesitate to email me at kennethmprager@gmail.com

Thanks again ROB....this site is absolutely AMAZING!!!

starstarstarstarstar 		Looking for fasting buddy support system
by: Kenny P

Well, I woke up in the middle of the night to eat away at that food and the cake I brought home. I could not stop, as if it was my last meal before my execution, so to speak. That started a snowball effect back to binging, and I got so sick by November of last year with acid reflux and poor health, that I followed that up with Pericarditis. That kept coming back, and after 7 hospital stays month after month and two Code Blues (having to be resuscitated), I have been home titrating off of the Prednisone that saved my life, but it came with a price- tons of side effects like always being hungry, moon face, buffalo hunch neck, bloated stomach, the sweats, etc......... Well, enough is enough- I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED. It is time to crap or get off the pot as the saying goes. I can't live in this constant pain anymore. I look at myself and want to cry. I feel so much pain that makes me want to cry. I search my soul and often wish to die. I have since weaned off of all my Psychiatric meds (except for Klonopin- as it is soooo hard to get off of), and I am sooooo dedicated to reversing ALL of these health problems in order to not only reclaim my life, but to live life better than ever!!! Knowledge is power......and from my own research and your wonderful website I feel quite powerful right now in the mind. After my 30 day water fast I plan on doing a 60 day juice fast. I will also plan on following your 1 time a week water fast with the goal being for LIFE......It makes so much sense in so many ways. A lot of times I think I know a lot of what is being said, but I really need to hear it from other to sink in and validate what I am doing for the betterment of my life. I wish you all the life you all deserve- good health, happiness, and loving yourselves inside and out!!!

If anyone wishes to email me to keep in touch regarding yours and my fasting/detox goals, please feel free. I think having a group of people only helps keep the motivation.

Sincerely,

Kenny P kennethmprager@gmail.com

by: Kenny P

Rob,
I bought a juicer about a week ago, and I really have enjoyed it- as it is the only way for me to get my fruits and veggies. So the last 3 days I have been on a juice only fast. Today 8-1-11 I embark on a 30 day water only fast. Your story was so amazing and potent. I too have quite a story. My weight gains and losses over the years have been such a yo-yo that it led to me having Gallstone induced Pancreatitis back in 2001. My Gallbladder simply gave out from all the up and downs of the weight. I had an emergency surgery to remove the Gallbladder and stones in order to heal the Pancreas. My body and mind were so toxic after that, that I was given many anxiety/depression medications to keep me calm. All they did was pollute me and ruin my life up to this current day. I am a 40 year old 5'9' male. I way 275 lbs. My ideal weight is 160 lbs., which is what I was up into the late 20's. I have always been a food addict, but I was also a fitness/sports addict, so I was able to maintain my light weight. But, I sure did not feel optimal health on the inside. My insecurities (too many to mention) led me to do liposuction after I lost as much weight as possible to get rid of any little fat pockets I saw. I was obsessed with weight to the point that I just could not stop thinking about food. My problem on maintaining my low weight with my poor diet was that when I would get sick or an injury that would keep me from my fitness, I would gain a ton of weight- as I would still eat out of control. In a perfect world I would never get sick or injured and would have been able to maintain a low weight- although now I believe not a healthy (internally) low weight. Last year I had ballooned up to 294 lbs. I said enough was enough and lost most of my weight within 6 months on my own type of plan. The problem was when I took home a bunch of catered food from a friend's birthday party- with the intent to give it to my mother.

Part 2 in next post......

by: Rob

Absolutely. Just because I had to fast for forty days to find my way out of that mess does not mean that everyone has to do the same. Any effort at all is worthwhile... In fact, I always advice others to start slow and work their way to longer fasts later on. Slow is fast, is my philosophy. :-) Thanx for your input.

starstarstarstarstar 		Scared
by: Anonymous

Thank you for your story- if I had not read it there is no way I would have shared mine- so thank you for giving me the courage... I have not yet begun my fast only due to lack in my research- currently I am on heavy medications due to a severe back injury and as much as I have looked I can not find anywhere on the internet whether fasting while on these medications would be dangerous (vicodin, soma, norco). I have gone to my local vitamin shoppe and purchased a 2 week cleansing product to begin prior to my 60 day juice fast (I'm hoping it will help with the results), but again scared that the cleansing with the meds would be dangerous; in turn I attempted to not take my meds today but could hardly move after only a few hours. I don't eat during the day- I know it sounds crazy but this is why I am so heavy; when I eat I fall asleep so I don't eat all day, I live off starbucks (the bad really sugarry frap ones)2-4 a day, then eat enough food to feed three at night because I'm so hungry. I hated water until about two weeks ago, I would go weeks without it but in forcing myself to drink it I grew to crave it so luckily the past two weeks I have developed a taste for water. I need to lose this weight and I need to lose it now- I am a single mom of the three most beautiful babies in the world and they are depending on- I can't let them down. I have a heart condition and if I don't change my life now I will not see them graduate elementary- and I am so scared what will happen to them (their father is a terrible person). I am strong and I will do this fast but please I have been searching for days, does anyone know the dangers of cleansing and fasting while on these medications. Also I am afraid of returning to food after the fast- I have heard horrible stories of gaining the weight right back- does anyone have any suggestions of what kind of food is safe after the fast?

Thank you very much for your testimony. You have put into words what I could not decipher from my own spirit. I cried, because I know the pain.

How is it though you can allow your website to have key words regarding food, linked to food advertisements? Food words are underlined and linked..this is something I've seen on other sites as well. Are you getting paid for advertisements that espouse products you're preaching against? How can we trust you?

by: Sharon

Thanks Rob for sharing your comments regarding fasting. I have read numerous articles on fasting and the many health benefits associated with fasting. I too wanted to change my eating habits and decided to go on a 30 days water fast. However, I am drinking a tablespoon of Organic Raw Apple Cider in my Akaline water as well as lemon or lime. I have found that these ingredients help with my stamina. Additionaly, I have been walking 6 miles per day. Nothing strenuous, but a mild walking pace. I have been fasting this way for 4 days. Today is the first day that I have felt great.

Thanks agai for sharing and I look forward to your updates.

starstarstarstarstar 		So Inspiring
by: Anonymous

This is, bar none, the most inspirational thing I've ever read. Being a food addict, I thought there was no one who truly understood what a nightmare it is to be trapped by binge eating. It's so much more than eating a little too much at dinner or taking a few too many trips to the office doughnut table... it demoralizes you to the point where you can't live a normal life. It takes over almost every hour of your day so that eventually, you are literally doing nothing but eating and sleeping (and in my case, watching TV). You are compelled to do so, despite the fact that you've forsaken your friends, family, career, and former interests. It almost makes me angry that people can be so casual about overeating, especially during the holidays. When you're a binge eater, there's nothing casual about it.
This website is a wonderful resource for fasting, and I have undertaken a fast as you did in order to heal myself, inside and out. I can only hope to one day be able to provide the same kind of inspiration you have to other people who are trapped by binge eating and its various side effects.

Rob, Thank you for sharing your story about fasting. It was very touching. I'm sorry to hear about how you were treated as a child. I have not been terribly over weight but I realize that i need to break the control food has over me. Over eating is one addiction everyone approves of. I am praying that God will give me the grace to embark on my first juice fast. I think maybe I am too ambitious with a 21 day and my husband said why don't i try 7 days. So i need to at least make the 7 day mark. My heart goes out to how you felt about yourself. God loves you unconditionally. The only way to the Father is through the Son. I pray you believe in your eternal value. Esther

starstarstarstarstar 		On day 4 of a fast - Amazed at how much Mocoid Plaque i'm Releasing!
by: Anonymous

Hi there :)

My name is Shaye and I'm a fellow SBI'er - I just came across your site by chance as I googled "fasting saved my life"... I'm doing a fast at the moment (I'm at a specialised fasting retreat in thailand) and wanted to find some motivational stories.

I'm on day 4... And as I sit here I have a rancid taste in my mouth and a weak, drained body. BUT... These side effects are a small price to pay for what is coming out of my body! I have been releasing mucoid plaque since the second day - YUK!

I must admit that it was a shock for me to realise what bad condition my intestines are in. For the past 4-5 years I have eaten a healthy diet and so thought they would be in a good state... However - before that I suffered from 10 years of bulimia where I tortured my body with all the terrible western foods full of sugar, salt and fat. These components are the first things to get digested - so would get the chance before I threw up. I am strongly convinced that this is why I have so much mucoid plaque.

Plus - mucoid plaque develops when there are electrolyte imbalances in our bodies - which are very common in bulimics - and which I had severely!

I'm looking forward to seeing what the nest phase of the fast brings - and how good I feel afterwards. Its a 7.5 day fast with about 2 weeks of raw food either side. Not quite a 40 day water fast - but at 58kg's and 5.6 - I think a 40 day water fast would make me disappear!

I just wanted to say congratulations on your amazing story - and good on you for using it to help others :)

All the love
Shaye

You are an inspiration. I understand exactly what you mean when you describe the hold that your eating habits have one you.

And in order to break those life long addictions, a fast can be the tool to change your frame of mind. I just started a fast about 4 days ago.

I have played around with it for awhile but was told that a fast caused weight gain so I strayed away.

I need to loose all together about 160 pounds. I have lost about 50 pounds by using working out and increasing my activity.

But my problem was that I still was using food as my crutch. I have improved drastically but just coming up against a wall when it came to completely being healed from it.

Honestly the freedom I find in it is that I don't' have to make any choices. I have fooled myself in the past by making the wrong selections and causing a domino effect. With fasting I don't have to decide. I really want to fast for 60 days.

And now after visiting this website and reading the testimonies I believe I am on my way.

I bet you didnt' think that when you were in that fast that you were not only doing it for yourself but also for me.

Thank you
